Keep up the great work, I am happy I found Solo launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] nighthawk626:
This is an awesome launcher but one thing that bugs me is that using an aosp rom with theme engine, the dock icons don't match. Anyway to fix that?
[Android Apps and Games] spriver:
wakaka~~ I am happy to hear that!

Now we release the 1.8.7 version.

You can try it and give us more feedbacks. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dayofdoom:
when its ready for tab?

great launcher....

random effect for screens?
[Android Apps and Games] deckya:
Thanks I need this on my low end kata t1 tablet very smooth in my note 2
[Android Apps and Games] spriver:
That is great!

We try to be the smoothest launcher in the world. ^ ^ :victory::D

Any lag when you use solo launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] spriver:
Recently solo launcher has 16 kinds of screen effect, but no random. I guess it is already pretty cool :victory:

Now our team is working on Visualization Setting, that is, what you see is what you set.

Sounds exciting~~ aha :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] deckya:
Thanks no lag at all in my kata t1 tablet I lke it so much

How could I use the hole screen for apps and widgets? In landscreen are left and right 4 rows I can't used
[Android Apps and Games] Geek4IT:
Wow, brand-new and sexy Solo Launcher!

:laugh:eek:mg, big change and great improvement.
[Android Apps and Games] skysword:
Hi, nice work

Some feedback:

1. the messaging icon is replaced with the hangout icon, even if the sms app is still Messaging. Maybe is an icon from the theme (default). If so, can be reverted to standard icons, or having no theme at all?

2. It would be good to have a menu to add/remove items in the context menu in home screen (Edit/Lock desktop/Solo setting etc)

3. it would be good to have an option to remove the desktop margins. At the moment, when adding a widget, it starts to change the fonts,for example Timely widget has different fonts, maybe that would be the reason

4. The "Color theme" in the "Apperance" menu should change the menu background etc? If so, it does not for me and I haven't seen any place where this is changed.

Keep up the good work

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dayofdoom:
thx

great launcher

but I can´t use the hole screen in landscape on my tab

where I change it?
[Android Apps and Games] etherza:
Fantastic launcher but has always had a bug which limits my use.

With some resolutions/DPI settings and vertical scrolling in the app drawer, issues start to arise:

1. Vertical scrolling on the primary apps group doesn't scroll down to the bottom and show all the icons -seems to be miss calculating the required scroll height.

2. When swiping to another group, the swipe animation is played but as soon as the page is displayed (animation over), the icons disappear.

On my S3 (stock) there was no issue until it was rooted and I applied a custom rom (ArchiDroid) with a non-stock dpi. The stock Note 8 on the other hand has always exposed the above issues.

I really look forward to having these bugs fixed so that I can head back to the happy place. Amazing work otherwise :)

I have been a Solo launcher user for over a year now.

Lately I have been facing a serious slowdown of my device every half a hour or so.

After using the Solo clear memory widget, things were fine again .... for 15-30 minutes.

Have been going through all my apps, but wasn't able to find the problem.

Android app overview gives me 1,2 Gb free memory, while the Solo widget displays a red circle indicating memory almost full.

Resulting indeed in a terrible slowdown of my device.

Finally I decided to try switching launchers. Now I don't have any problem anymore??

Hope the slowdown is not Solo's way to make users use the memory widget as it displays Ads after clearing memory...
[Android Apps and Games] Mazebarath:
Life time free bro .... is it without any annoying ads.. :D:D

[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
I am using offiicial 4.0.4 ICS with patched bootloader and rooted .I have used it for a long time and its slow .I want to go back to 2.2...I have old nandroid backups of 2.2 done with cwm 5.8.1.3 ......now ICS has version 6.0.1.4 ....so can i restore my old backup from this version....and I think I also have to put old bootloader....does anyone have old bootloader flashable from cwm .....or SFT is the only way
[LG Optimus Black] raulx222:
You can use other ROMs..like IZS, this also is on android 4..but it's very stable and fast, give it a try ;)... hmm and about 2.2, many apps don't support android 2.2, just 2.3 or up
[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
Yes I downgraded with SFT and can't download subway surfer etc and even smart launcher gives problem when i change themes ,,,I am loosing a couple of things ...But my phone works good now. 2.3 has it's own issues...IZS is ICS(after a long term use it gets slow) I haven't tried IZS though....I think the OS that comes with the phone is always stable and best...rest all big upgrades are just for name sake. 2.2 is what the phone was launched with and its the most stable working OS till date for p970

I just have to make a choice now between stability and support.
[LG Optimus Black] raulx222:
Not exactly true.. most modifications to stock ROMs are greater..because are based on the stock ROM, and brings modifications to make the ROM more powerful than stock version ;)

Try Zeus if you like 2.3..it is based on stock 2.3 but it is a lot faster,stable than stock ROM.. just 1 thing i don't like to Zeus, the keyboard..but you can flash another one(I like the gingerbread stock)
[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
Heux ROMS are derived from stock ROMS and tweaked for performance...so they also the same bugs that stock have.I have already tried zeus rom long time back...in hope that it will solve the bug of stock 2.3..but it was the same

following are 2 major issues of 2.3

1)using handsfree when you try to switch songs it does not work and most of the times it wakes the phone...you can see the screen lit up even if you have locked the phone.

2)DLNA is broken ....some of the stereo music file just keeps buffering and hangs the phone.....

LG broke this very badly and did not fix in 2.3 even when i reported it in service station.....

issue #1 is there in ICS also ...and #2 is fixed in ICS

#2 is just a fancy feature for me as I don't use it and can live with it.

#1 is bad can't live with it......but from ICS I have learnt how to compile kernels just to fix this issue and know how to fix this handsfree issue.....I am planning to build 2.3 kernel with the fix ....but i don't know it will fix the screen wake up issue or not.....I just have to try it.

Now I have flashed stock 2.3 and subway surfer can be downloaded and works better than ICS ...lags only once in starting and then smooth.and smart launcher has no issues.....2.3 is actually smoother than 2.2
[LG Optimus Black] raulx222:
Hmm i didn't noticed this bugs xD..i don't listen much music on phone..but, why you can't live with bug 1? The screen will turn off after a few seconds
[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
The screen turn on-off is OK but I want the handsfree to work...I switch songs with handsfree button and now when i do it it just stops the player instead on changing song...that's irritating....

OK and screen on-off bug is fixed in ICS but handsfree song switching is not fixed.....
[LG Optimus Black] raulx222:
Try this ;)) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headset
[LG Optimus Black] rokr05:
Who said handsfree doesnt work? I play songs on my Nokia BH-503 and always switch songs using the handsfree. Also the pause play work flawlessly along with volume adjustment buttons as well. The screen wake is temporary as well maybe lasting for just 5 seconds. Check You handsfree maybe? :D

Cheers
[LG Optimus Black] raulx222:
Handsfree doesn't work at me too..it's a problem with Optimus Black..the handsfree button is stopping the music..but the app Headset Button Controller works very well, i tested it :)
[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
android version 2.2 has handsfree working perfectly .....

Lg broke in starting 2.3 and above...

I have fixed it in 4.0.4 by fixing the headset driver taking reference from 2.2 source code....

See my thread below...This patch also has headset driver fix...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2184519

I am going to take 2.2 driver and put it in 2.3 and compile it to fix it.....

But i want arm-eabi-4.4.3 toolchain to compile it...and could not find it ...

There are some links which give this but as a combination with other toolchains ...but i have low bandwidth.

so can anyone provide me link to only arm-eabi-4.4.3 alone...

there's also 4.4.0 mentioned in readme ...so its really confusing ....but can try both....

link for 4.4.0 and 4.4.3 if some has ...I will try searching again on google..

I want to fix it at kernel level hence not interested in the apps...as this is supposed to be default feature of OS...which Lg broke....

=====from readme of kernel

2. Kernel Build

(1) Untar using following command at the android folder (./android/kernel)

$ tar xvfz P970_BDop_GingerBread_v20o_KERNEL.tar.gz

(2) Set the compile environment

- gcc 4.4.3

- Ubuntu 10.04.1

- export PATH=$PATH:/android_path/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/

("android_path" should be android path name in your system.)

(3) Run the script, "envsetup.sh" in the android folder.

$ cd android

$ ./build/envsetup.sh

(4) Execute make

- move to the kernel folder and execute make

$ cd kernel

$ make sniper_rev_a_emmc_defconfig ARCH=arm

$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=<android_path>/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- zImage

("android_path" should be android path name in your system.)

- If the kernel is built sucessfully, you will find the build images in this directory,

"kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage"
[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
Nokia BH-503 is Bluetooth....I am using wired hands-free that's comes with the phone...so it must be working for you......

Bluetooth and headset drivers are different....
[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
finally got the kernel booting and also fixed the headset issue..by taking heaset driver from 2.2 ...

But now it wakes phone whenever song is changed by headset.the bug is lg's mp3 player .

If you use a different mp3 player then the phone will not wakeup.....

I tried to change mp3 player with the old one from 2.2 android.....but it does not work.Don't know why lg did this.....

but i am using it for my own benefit because my power button does not work most of the time....

if anyone wants to try i have attatched the kernel....it's not fancy just headset fix....

https://github.com/rajeshmk2011/lg_p970_gingerbreadkernel.git
[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
fixed my power button and also speaker by following the info in below link......you have to put some more pressure on those parts...I use two three layers

I am having probems with my touchscreen and want to pull the case off it so that I can check connections.

The service manual states that after having undone the screws along the bottom edge of the screen that you should use a screwdriver to push into the hole in the bottom left hand edge of the screen case to release the catch to separate the two halves, but pushing the screwdriver in there doesn't seem to release anything.

Has anyone here managed to dismantle the screen and have any tips on how to do it?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] autoelectrics:
:lol: youv'e probaly sorted by now

anyhow ur need to obtain a plastic ended screwdriver (unless you fancy damaging case) insert at join wilst using a fine screwdriver, gently push in hole lever outwards while prising and i'tl 'pop' out do same at other end and use plastic srewdriver to pop open along join all around until it pops of.

had to change screen on mine took about 25mins total, advise u use anti static wrist band (lot of sensitive stuff near screen).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] captainsensible2002:
Where did you get your screen from? and how much?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] autoelectrics:
:lol: i brought unit off ebay (internally damaged) for the screen (lucky). theres a taiwanese company, selling them, but not seen on ebay for a while, if you look through archives theres also a usa company, but only repair.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] neilgove:
Hi,

Just had an MDA Pro screen replaced by these chaps in Wimbledon:

http://www.xdarepairs.co.uk

Cost quoted was about £110 +VAT + Postage fitted, or £90 +VAT for the part on its own. All in, the screen, including fitting, was not much more than the screen on its own from ebay.

Posted to them on Tuesday at 16:45 and received back on Thursday at 08:45. Working beautifully again.

May be worth a try.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jan Philipp:
Unfortunately, there's no tool. The G2 has a strange launcher which is not compatible with "standard" themes. But there's a workaround. Download a theme from LG SmartWorld and replace the files inside the package (Icons etc.) with some of your choice. There are many tutorials, just ask Google.

Hi!

I have made a bit of confusion regarding the windows 8.1 situation...I'm actually have this situation:

PC: WIndows 8.1 x64 update 1

AMD FX cpu

Asus 990FX am3+ socket mainboard with Asmedia USB 3.0 ports ( so not direclt from the AMD chipset )

Phone: HTC One S [S4]

So if I have understand correctly HTC has released the driver to make the One S recognized under windows 8.1 x64 BUT fastboot keep be not working under windows 8.1 ?

I didn't find a solution with my windows so I use Ubuntu live cd for fastboot. To enable this open a terminal type 'sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb androit-tools-fastboot' and you are ready. Use sudo fastboot in every command.

Hi!

I have installed both "HTC_WIN8.1_DRIVERS.msi" and "HTCDriver-4.14.0.001.exe" on my PC which have a Asus Sabertooth 990FX mainboard ( so an AMD chipset for USB 2.0 and Asmedia chipset for USB 3.0 ) and I have got this situation with the driver:

Indeed the phone isn't working properly when connected to the PC, tethering USB isn't working...

Trouble with Windows 10

Thanks for the info! I've been trying to get fastboot working on a HTC One X with Windows 10 and it's driving me nuts. :mad:

I've downloaded and installed the 4.16.0.001 driver in this thread. ADB works fine and I can get into what looks like fastboot from command window "adb reboot bootloader."

However, once the phone starts up again, "fastboot devices" returns nothing. In device manager, I get the yellow warning icon for "Android USB Devices" -> "My HTC." From there, I try to update the driver and I choose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers.." I see "My HTC" in the list and install that. Once it installs I still get the same yellow warning icon. I've tried uninstalling the device fro device manager and starting again, but it's still the same.

Any info on how to get this to work?! From the searching I've done it seems to be a driver issue but I'm at a loss at what to try next.. :(
[HTC One S] Valentino911:
I have the same issue... no solution at the moment :(
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
Umm, how? I am having the exact same issue and it's frustrating the hell out of me.

I installed the 4.16 HTC drivers, and my Win10 laptop and desktop both only recognize it as a disk drive, but adb will not show it no matter how many times I kill and restart the server. Grrr.

Manually booting it into FASTBOOT causes "Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration) and "My HTC" never shows when trying to update drivers manually.
