Not sure if anyone's mentioned this yet. You can take a copy of the backup file and rename it to a. Zip file. You can then read the contents.

How to design my own homepack

Plenty of homepacks or home screens rather to download; but how can I design my own? Not much info or guides on the site. For a start, where can I get icon packs?
[Android Apps and Games] Senyaka:
Basically you use your own icon packs and widgets with buzz. Then upload.
[Android Apps and Games] Miuranga:
awesome launcher. works like charm! :)
[Android Apps and Games] MANswers:
Why are some fonts missing from buzz launcher? I had at up few texts with few fonts which do not work now. Every single don't on my phone is sony sketch but j ust not buzz widget
[Android Apps and Games] Koroz:
love the launcher, would love to see a few things though:

Vert scroll of app list, hiding app list text so that we dont get the text wrap around if we like super tiny icons. I'd like to see my sort options take effect as default, unless I am doing something wrong I shouldn't have to re-click the icon every-time I install or uninstall an app to have it resort. If these are features already available, I would appreciate someones help. Maybe add the options to the actual app panel itself if they are buried someplace else?

Other then that I love this launcher it runs decent on my LG G3, I like that it auto sizes stuff on download and that if I don't have things it will let me just click the item to get it from the store. I don't ever really stay with the default theme I download as I like to even further tweak things and this gives me a great number of starting points for me to begin with. Good stuff.

How do we change folder names? Driving me crazy...keep in mind I downloaded a custom home pack..when I go to edit it will let me change pic bit not folder name
[Android Apps and Games] mark1ee:
Same issue as above post!

Great launcher but how do you change the names of the folders you create, or change the names of a pre created folder in a downloaded homescreen? When I press the folder name it pops up with a box but doesn't let me change the name of the folder??? :)
[Android Apps and Games] mark1ee:
Just had the below from the Dev Team...........

Homepack Buzz Team 22 September 2014

Hey there. Did you turn on label? Go to buzz menu→homescreen edit→layour settings→label on. Then you should able to change your folder name
[Android Apps and Games] colsy:
No transition - Jump to page

Anyone know if this is possible? I want to jump straight to another screen without transitions. I know you can add jump to page shortcut but if I'm going from screen 1 to screen 6 it cycles through them all with whatever transition is active. I want it to jump straight to screen 6 etc. I know this can be done in other browsers but I love buzz.
[Android Apps and Games] bnook:
Awesome launcher!

How can I get my home screen wallpaper to update daily with the bing images? I was able to get the lockscreen wallpaper to do so using Bing Wallpapers (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bg.ailiev.android.wallpapermanager&hl=en), but so far have not been able to get the home image to update.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] khatkhatik:
the folder icon is terrible

changeable folder icon plz
[Android Apps and Games] bnook:
Just long press the folder you want to change and choose edit icon from the list that comes up, it will suggest hundreds of different folder icons you can use.

[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
I guess I didn't see the whole "Beta" thing on the launcher's title in the Play Store. I guess its to be expected to have bugs such as the amount of flickering and lag. I hope they push out continuous updates.
[Android Apps and Games] mathew1234:
Epic launcher.,.... I just love it.
[Android Apps and Games] fleetingyouth:
Would this give you the ability to swap layouts. For instance if I designed 3 different wallpapers with correlating widgets and wanted to swap back and forth with out having to set them up again.
[Android Apps and Games] Ecliptical:
Is there a way to search themes? Or do you just have to browse them all until you find one you like?
[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
Love this launcher but it really needs more customization... Can't wait for more development
[Android Apps and Games] lightsout:
This launcher really is great. Hopefully the future of android with the ability to swap home screens so easily.
[Android Apps and Games] kyokeun1234:
This launcher is simply themer's dream! There is tons of useful tools for hard core themers and a lot of themes for just theme addicts. Such an amazing idea that nobody thought of until now... Good job dev :)

[Android Apps and Games] themacman1000:
A friend just showed me this and I love it. Quick question though, I applied a home pack, and while I'm able to move around and set different apps on the pages, I can't seem to create an addition page, a fourth page for all my game stuff. Am I missing the option to add pages?

[Android Apps and Games] TLnY:
You have to change your system language to English in order for Buzz Launcher to work. We are currently waiting for a fix. I hope it gets fixed soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Tjee:
Please allow continuous vertical app scrolling in app drawer window, horizontal looks horrible. If possible, also allow changing the light blue colour. Otherwise people with different theme colours will be disappointed, like me.

And one more, the lockscreen needs more options and shareability!
[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
Tried to max out the amount of themes I can place at once on my screens and I when I max out the transitions seem to lag a little. I am assuming this will be addressed before moving out of beta.

[Android Apps and Games] fruity101079:
Hi there

I had 2 questions:

- When you applied a them, the android wallpaper is not change (the one you see in multitask or lockscreen). How to apply it there? It seems we can't extract the wallpaper from the zip file (in android/data/*buzz/download/file.zip).

- The icons badge aren't displayed on the theme I used. Is there any option to force them? (in the buzz parameters, it's already "on").

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] x3dnd3x:
Kinda lags a little at times on S2.
[Android Apps and Games] fcasoli:

- Whatsapp unread counter

- folder background editable (palette color)

This is my request to replace Apex definitely.

[Android Apps and Games] fcasoli:
Another feature important to add:

Galaxy Note 4 + Gear 2
[Android Apps and Games] fcasoli:
Note 4 updated Lollipop, swipe down not show notifications now...

Please solve, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] fcasoli:
I think some features to add in short time:

- Whatsapp unread counter

- folder background editable (palette color)

- icon size customizable by % (100 is default, you can set less and more than 100 to reduce or increase), the best is to set different home icons and dock icons

- icon labels, edit font size and color

- increase dock icons number, at least 12

- swipe must be active also on dock bar, to change home page for example

- add compatibility with Apex/Nova icon pack

a big effort for Buzz team, are you ready?
[Android Apps and Games] x3dnd3x:
Same. Its a great launcher. I can't really run Themer on my S2 but Buzz is able to, just that it gets laggy at times. Too much for my phone to handle.

[Android Apps and Games] SaySayonara:
Everything that you download is stored into internal memory / android/data/search for the folder.

And to edit them, you simply click buzz widget and edit the desired one.

Hi all,

I'm enjoying this beautiful App from a few days and I would try to do some Home Pack.

I tried to download the "

Homepack Creation Guide v0.5.1.pdf

" but link is broken. :(

Has someone this guide to share please? :)

Thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] starche_old:
Awesome launcher, more functional (to my taste) then Nove and Solo I was using recently. Lots of settings I need to dig :)

The only question I've got is: how I can get rid off the empty space under the dock? That will allow me to get even more screen space.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] starche_old:
and one more question.

How do I make the CENTER screen appear when I press the home button (ie, not page 1 of 3, I'd like page 2 of 3 to be the main screen, as it is in most launchers)

upd 1:

Here's the answer: from home screen - menu, then add/delete screens and then put red house on the screen you want it to be the main one.
[Android Apps and Games] SaySayonara:
Press and hold on background untill launcher menu pops up > add/delete screens > under each screen, there is a little icon looking like a home. If you press it, you set that screen as the default home one. Home one is orange, normal one is white.

Hope it helps! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] starche_old:
Thanks.

How I can get rid of the slave under the dock?
[Android Apps and Games] Madness147:
i check this out, ty
[Android Apps and Games] SaySayonara:
You mean the buttons or the dock?

Better make a screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] starche_old:
Sorry guys, u r absolutely right. I had to attach screenshot in the 1st place.

Here we go. I'm talking about the space under the dock, in the bottom of the screen (yellow line shows that). I'm not sure how to explain it better.
[Android Apps and Games] SaySayonara:
What is your phone model?

That srems to be the dock. Can you drag and drop icons in that space? If yes, I'm 100% sure it is the dock.

To disable it, press long on background to activate launcher settings, then press edit screen, then make sure the dock is off.

Check the screenshots bellow.
[Android Apps and Games] starche_old:
Just tried - nope, I cannot put anything there. Even if I hide the dock, that empty space is still there.

I've got nexus 5, Pure Nexus custom ROM, blue spark custom kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] SaySayonara:
That's weird. I thought that you are using a phone with physical buttons but as it's not the case I'm baffled..

Try to clear data and reinstall the app.

Where are the back, home and overview buttons then?
[Android Apps and Games] starche_old:
That's really weird. Never ever saw smth like that before.

I cleared cache and data, I deleted the app, reboot and reinstall it again, I tried other themes - nothing works. I still can see that space under the dock.

No big deal really, I can live with that. I'm just reporting the bug here hoping dev will be able to fix that in the future.

I'm using LMT (pie), so I don't need those buttons. I've got smth better (for me) then that :)
[Android Apps and Games] SaySayonara:
Well i guess the pie menu is making that space appear as blank. If you would use the normal buttons, they would appear in that empty space.
[Android Apps and Games] starche_old:
Just tried that.

Not really, navbar take the half of that empty space only. Another half is still there. I can attach screenshot later if you wish.

Any other launchers I saw (quite few I would say) don't have this issue. All of them putting the dock down giving me more screen space.

Again, I'm not complaining or anything like that. I'm just reporting the issue.

Hello... I'm trying to figure out how to make a Buzz Widget link to a different screen.

Say I have 2 screens, on screen one I make a text widget that just says "page 2" - pressing that would make it switch to the second screen.

I have seen this in other launchers, but I can't figure out how if its possible to do it in Buzz Launcher.

Thanks for any help.
[Android Apps and Games] SaySayonara:
I did some research about this and you can do it, but not with buzz widget, but with buzz launcher itself. It's not a widget though, it's a shortcut.

But you can still edit it - change the icon and resize it.

Long press on homepage - add - shortcut - screen x (x = number of the screen page)

Check the screenshots bellow:
[Android Apps and Games] Kegus:
First off, thanks for the reply - it almost does what I'm looking for.

To my knowledge, when using a label I sadly can't control the size of the text or any other aspect of it. Which makes me wish they would add the shortcut feature to their Buzz Widget.

But thank you so much for the tutorial - it was really helpful
[Android Apps and Games] SaySayonara:
You very welcome! ??

You can try and ask the developer on Buzz Widget's play store page. Maybe with a bit of luck he will see your comment and add that feature.

Lately it seems that Buzz Launcher is getting better and better. I love the fact that you can add gif images as resizable icons!

You can make really cool icons with transparent gifs.

[Android Apps and Games] BradHP:
On the last theme I had installed I somehow got the wallpaper to show up on my lockscreen. I changed to a new theme today, but can't figure out what I did last time to get like that. I'm probably missing something simple, can I get some help?
[Android Apps and Games] zoel.fahmi:
I've got to say this is the best launcher, but how come this launcher less popular than nova or Google launcher?

Edit : Launcher a bit laggy, can you make transition faster? Like in Nova launcher : performance or quality choose.

Plus add custom icon support, like another launcher. Good job anyway.

[Android Apps and Games] Arsenal420:
I really like Buzz Launcher and have created a nice little Buzz Pack which I'm excited about. However I am having one problem for which I'm hoping to get a bit of information. I'm trying to use the Buzz Launcher launch screen which I have enabled using Launcher Settings>Buzz Locker settings>Buzz Locker = On. With the stock android lock screen, when my alarm goes off, the alarm/snooze screen comes up on top of the lock screen. With Buzz Locker enabled the alarm screen does not come up over the lock screen and I have to unlock the phone to turn it off.

Since I am constantly using alarms it's a major loss of functionality when I have to unlock the phone to snooze/turn off. It's such a loss that I'm stuck using the crappy stock android lock screen unless I can find a way to get Buzz Locker to mimic the desired operation. I'm assuming there isn't a way, with the current version, to get this working as I've checked every option I could find and have tried numerous combinations of Buzz Locker and the stock lock screen without success. Still... I wanted to mention it with the hope that an enhancement could be possible.

Any information would be most welcome.

Thank you!

Luckily I have the app backed up along with Buzz widget.. One of the few if not only launcher that dud not have ads and did not charge for gestures etc through any pro version..gestures since early 2014

You may still be able to find the app online.. If not let me know. I might be able to post it somewhere. I had many layouts saved over the years so am still able to use it and change the look

Hello all,

Hope your all doing well and safe.

I have the Buzz Launcher and Buzz Widget on my phone luckily the app got installed on my phone from my old S8 Backup to my S9 however I'm sceptical it will transfer to the next phone. I want to know how do I take a back up or the .apk file? I want to restore my phone and then use that backup/apk file elsewhere, share it with family etc. My apps are on Auto-Update so my version is 1.9.7.07. If you want I can share this, I have no idea where Version 4.0 comes from. Am I missing something? If I have an old version can someone share it?

Thanks

P.S - To those asking, yes the Launcher is dead it died back in April 2019, there was an email out. I have no idea why they would close up shop when it was one of the best launchers out there and still is.
[Android Apps and Games] Orchid5683:
For anyone interested in using this dead-though-amazing launcher, and it's associated widget maker, I just wiped my S8+ and downloaded and installed them both.

[Android Apps and Games] mac231us:
yes thanks been having that 1.9.7.07 version for a long time now (that I shared with one other poster on this board). Oddly, buzz widget (have an older version) actually gets an update through Playstore (go figure!) :)

and it had gestures for free (not some 'pro' version) and that too circa 2013-14! (can add for screenshot and double tap to sleep)

so much ado made about nova launcher etc never gravitated to them-this one was and still is the best never mind occasional lag here and there. Theming was awesome and sharing in the community. I saved many but sadly lost many I had in the 2016 timeframe.
[Android Apps and Games] Orchid5683:
Yesterday I tried to contact the developer through the Korean company that holds the domains of Buzzlauncher.com and Homepackbuzz.com but I had to guess at 4 generic email addresses and 3 bounced back, so we'll see if I get any response. I asked ever-so-politely if they would be willing to open-source Buzz Launcher so people in this community on XDA could keep it alive as so many still love it's unique features.

With you on the "pro version" thing some are pitching out there; saw a YouTube about "unlocking" a 1.9.4 version with a special "code" but if you are paying attention you see that the code is only necessary because someone zipped up the installer with a password! Personally I would seriously question what is in that installer! LOL

Buzz Launcher did ACTUAL theming (like do you happen to remember the Sonique music player?! or at least Winamp?), where it wasn't this "changed the wallpaper and icon pack and called it a theme" garbage but radically different designs like having icons follow a meandering path or multi-sized/styled clickable graffiti! Just so cool. Unfortunately I never saved my downloaded themes, just had them on Homepack server.

I'm ok, I can still resize my icons ;-)
