Thanks for your support. Please test it more and let me know if there're any issues.
[Android Apps and Games] 7sen:
thanks i will test for three days for any bugs :D on htc one
[Android Apps and Games] Urticant2:
This is huge

This is the first time I test a launcher and it is so effective and exceeds the best like nova or apex

Thanks

Edit: one hour after, high consumption 100 mb and it will up 180MB and battery drain
[Android Apps and Games] Better-Apps:
It's designed to use any much ram as it's available (i.e. aggressive/persistent mode in other launcher) by keeping things in memory so that things run smoothly. If other apps need memory, the launcher will release the memory for other apps.

Which device do you have? The launcher will use the memory if your device has lots of free memory.
[Android Apps and Games] nicka3200:
Is there a way to remove the Google search bar from the top of every homepage? I know that's stock kitkat but it's a real waste of space.

In other respects though, this is a very nice launcher.

Edit:

I've worked it out. Under launcher settings-homescreen-search bar I've selected "Invisible" & the search bar not only disappears but the rest of the homescreen expands into the vacant space.

I'm going to see how I get on with Better Launcher as my default launcher for a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] wallah:
This is the best launcher for now !! 5 stars from me on Google play :)

[Android Apps and Games] hasbrobot:
Awesome! Please remove elasticity/bounce in home screens and drawer and it's perfect! By far the best kitkat launcher I've seen.
[Android Apps and Games] Warhoax:
Clean look, awesome theme support. Animations are wicked and customizations from the next level.

Only thing that bothers me is that the homescreen animation lags, no idea why. The app drawer is insanely smooth.

Using it on my Xperia P with Carbon Rom.
[Android Apps and Games] tyre777:
Great launcher with lots of customization. There is some lag with the gestures and when you press the menu button while at app drawer, the regular kitkat settings appears behind the apps. Please remove the bounce animation at homescreen and app drawer screens
[Android Apps and Games] 7sen:
after one day - it's like hybrid between Google launcher and ADW launcher :rolleyes: it's laggy not smooth at all :eek:

but 100% themes supports :angel:

i prefer LAUNCHER 3 FROM cm11 :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] hasbrobot:
Awesome start for a beta! Beats the rest out there kitkat wise.
[Android Apps and Games] Urticant2:
I have nexus 5 so I have enough memory

Yes this is what I have seen and finally memory is controlled

Congratulation for this first launcher to be as fast

But personally I miss them option as :

- backup widget

- drawer icon replaceable by another app in dock

- swip up/down is too long to execute (in nova is perfect)

- white effect of the transition hurts the eyes

- and the battery consumption is too high
[Android Apps and Games] nicka3200:
So after a couple of days I'm really liking this launcher. It's like an updated version of my old favorite Holo Launcher. I couldn't live without the 1x1 widgets in the dock that Holo & Better Launcher give me. Holo Notifier even works with it.

I've had no issues with it at all. No force closes, no undue battery drain. For the time being it's a keeper.

I do have one request for the next update. Can we have custom tabs in the app drawer please?
[Android Apps and Games] CruzerX_X:
Nice launcher. but I have some issues

- It take to long to make a gesture.

- I can't turn off the bounce effect.

[Android Apps and Games] Better-Apps:
The launcher doesn't do anything when it's not visible, it certainly not the source of the battery drain issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Better-Apps:
That's one of the planned features, it will be available in a future update. Currently I am focusing on ironing out bugs.

I do hope not. I really like the launcher but I was hoping for a few more features like app drawer tabs.

No :)

I am busy with a few other things, I will be back working on it soon.

[HTC Droid DNA] uNdea:
I've spent hours for searching and trying different methods to fix my problem, but no success..

I've droid dna, with S-OFF, but NO htcdev ulocked bootloader, nor SuperCid.

I got this phone in this condition, so i have no idea what method previous owner used to gain S-Off

I have some signal issues, and found thread with fix, then i flashed latest rooted stock 3.06 odexed rom(from santod040) and trying to flash stock recovery too,

in order to Factory reset with stock recovery and get stock Radio partition, which should fix my signal drop issue.

TWRP 2.5.0.0 is already installed there, but i can't replace it with stock, nor update to 2.6.x, nor replace with CWM.

Every time i try - " fastboot flash recovery xx.img ", it fails and i'm getting this message:

sending 'recovery' (8380 KB).

OKAY [ 1.005s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

What should i do to flash stock recovery? I was thinking to restore S-ON and go 100% stock, then do factory reset and S-OFF, root, flash recovery again and install custom rom.. But i think it's too long process and there should be other way to fix it.

any help would be greatly appreciated
[HTC Droid DNA] sdamark:
Might try flashify app from play store, or image gui.
[HTC Droid DNA] finanandroid:
Unlock Bootloader

Thought you need to be unlocked to flash any image, unlocking the bootloader allows you to flash images (write partitions of the phone)

if i were you I will start from the scratch.
[HTC Droid DNA] uNdea:
Haven't tried any app for flashing yet. Good idea through, ill try as soon as i get home :)
[HTC Droid DNA] uNdea:
Yea i thought about it too, but as i know there's no way to supercid on 3.06 firmware, am i wrong? Without supercid, i can't unlock bootloader, was getting error 160 when i tried that. Then i read that htcdev could mess up somethung, when phone has s-off so i stopped thinking about bootloader unlock..
[HTC Droid DNA] finanandroid:
Yup I read somewhere that unlock the bootloader get u stuck in boot after a while, but yes there is a method

to change cid number and unlock bootloader.
[HTC Droid DNA] uNdea:
I've just tried both apps, no success. flasher just says "rebooting in recovery" and nothing happens, waited about 25-30 minutes.

Image gui asks to confirm that i have unlocked bootloader in order to flash kernel/recovery later..
[HTC Droid DNA] uNdea:
Seems that i can't flash stock recovery until i unlock bootloader and S-ON.

Just wondering, how previous owner flashed TWRP 2.5, without unlocking bt. Any ideas?
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
Your s-off. Run an RUU. That will give you stock everything. Boot rom. Does signal work? Yes? Flash custom recovery and rom of choice. If not, factory reset from bootloader, then verify signal works. Flash custom recovery, then rom.

Also, being s-off you can write your cid and obtain unlock at htcdev
[HTC Droid DNA] uNdea:
Seems very easy, thank you for help :)

I'll get 3.06 ruu and run it. Still, I have hboot 1.33, do i need to flash 3.06 hboot manually or it doesn't matter?
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
Flash the 3.06 hboot in bootloader first
[HTC Droid DNA] uNdea:
Thank you again guys, my problem is fixed :D

When is my phone in charging and i reboot phone if i have 20% of battery after reboot i have 50% or something like that how to solve this? sry for my english
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hamadaahlawy:
try hurtsky's kernel for cm 11

it solved low life battery problem for me
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Luka MIlosevic:
but i want to stay on the same rom i dont want to change rom
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SpaceDye:
You will stay with the same ROM, just a different kernel. So more governors, tweaks etc. You won't notice a difference visually.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Luka MIlosevic:
i installed hurtsky's kernel but i have the same problem again...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SpaceDye:
Hmm. Might be that your battery is dead?

Try a pristine install of CM11 again, see if that helps.

batter drain

Sir, I have started using nightlies cm11 on gt n7000 from 2days back, and iam having a bit of battery related problems.. Battery is been drained within few hours only..like 4 to 5 even if my system is sleeping still then its draining quite a lot of battery, rest everything is working fine for me. All the system settings are set to default.. I would really appreciate if you look into this manner. Thankyou

May be CM11 Dark ?!

I'm running CM11 Dark (Beta 2) + KhaN Kernel v.1.5 and the battery life is pretty good :D I'm using Polarcell Akku 1600MAh ordered from ebay for about 10€. BUT if nothing helps and you absolutely want to keep your installation, may be just disconnect the charger for rebooting :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jam90:
i know what are you talknig about, and that's NORMAL: every android phone does like that, if you reboot your device while it's in charge, the calibration charge is messed up, so do NEVER reboot your device so often...if you forced to do that, so wait until it's 100%, wait something like 1/2 hour / 1 hour at least and then disconnect your phone from the charger. Then use it until it shut off for low battery (and even in this case, just ONCE you have to make it shut off or you will cause damage to battery.

That's it, i hope it helped

I only hear the click and nothing happens. After a reboot it works normal again for a while. When I flash back Kernel ex 8 i don't have that Problem. Use Viper Rom. Any ideas?

Now after four days I don't have the problem anymore. Maybe because of the new kernel version, but I rather think its because i updated my superuser app. Just clicked on Venom superuser. apk in System/app und reinstall. After that for me all works fine.

Hi. I'd like to keep my phone connected to a local Wi-Fi network so that I can access a server on that network. However that network doesn't have a working internet connection. Can I keep my phone connected to Wi-Fi but let it use 3G for internet connection? Thank you
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Normally when the WiFi is connected to a network the data is automatically disabled so I'd say no to your question.

But Super Download might help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Could WiFi always scanning be used in this case perhaps? Try it by disabling your WiFi but leaving that option enabled under the Advanced settings.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Of course it wont work to use always scanning. It even says scanning in the name, meaning it simply allows the locations service to turn on wifi briefly in order to see local networks so it can use them to locate you.

What OP is asking for is not natively supported, and would probably require a bunch of modifications on a deep level.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Hello, I'm new to this forum although I've been following most of the threads. I have a Galaxy S3 by AT&T, unlocked and running stock 4.1.1 before I decided to flash to CM. Didn't like a few things about CM so I tried to Odin back to stock 4.1.1. Got to pass quite alright but the phone wont boot back up and now seems bricked. I've read about problems others have had with bricking trying to downgrade from stock 4.3 to other earlier versions on this particular phone model. I, however, thought this was a problem with stock rom only and CM had taken care of the dreaded knox and secure bootloader?

How do I fix this brick and get the phone back up and running? I'd greatly appreciate the steps laid out in plain English a newbie would be able to comprehend easily enough. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shortydoggg:
Did you go into recovery and do a factory reset?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Thanks very much! Just did that and it worked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Update

Just wondering then if it's possible to switch to CM or any knox-free custom rom from stock 4.3 on the AT&T Galaxy S3? If so, it would seem to be a convenient workaround to the problems users have expressed trying to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1 in order to free unlock their phones. I mean .. first install a custom rom and then odin back to stock 4.1.1 to unlock and, thereafter, upgrade either back to stock or a preferred custom rom? Would this be possible?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can't downgrade from the stock 4.3 bootloader to an older bootloader. Trying to flash an older bootloader will brick the phone.

You need to be on stock 4.1.1 in order to use the free unlock method. A custom 4.1.1-based ROM will not have the required menu options.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Thanks. Maybe I didn't phrase my question properly ... I mean is it possible to go to from stock 4.3 to a custom ROM based on 4.3 (or newer) e.g. CM11? I understand you can't downgrade from stock 4.3 to an older bootloader which is why I'm asking if a workaround involving stock 4.3 to custom 4.3 based and then back to stock 4.1.1 is possible? I don't know if anyone has been able to successfully flash custom 4.3 based to the AT&T version of the GS3 running stock 4.3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] buildnoob:
You should be able to flash anything as long as its listed as a bootloader. I believe only kit kat ROMs have vleumk5 as a boot installer
[HTC One X] zeedu:
Hi!

I'm new on this forum and YES I've read many threads about this problem with HOX, but I haven't found really something useful that have worked. I bought my HOX last week from a reseller so I don't got any guarantee on it. I wanted a HTC for the beats audio and the performance in this phone, but I had no clue about the battery prob, and this disturbs me alot.

When I'm playing a game on my phone it drains the battery from 80% to maybe 50% in 15-20 minutes and that's really disturbing. I've calibrated my battery that I read on this forum and it helped the phone a bit but not much..

Today when I surfed the internet I had 21% and i surfed maybe 10 mins and then it was 5%. I can't really figure this out why it's like this, I've read on the forums that it's maybe something with the Tegra 3 chip but does that problem still exist if i got Android 4.2.2?

I've thaught on installing a CustomROM to help my batterylife, so could you give me some examples and does my beatsaudio function still work if I install a new rom?

Thanks in advance and I hope you can help me with this! :)
