[Android Apps and Games] G4 Man2:
IMO I think it would be a good idea to make the number of columns a separate option , especially since my favorite themes are only available with two :P

I also second the need for some G+ love.

And lastly, I think the 'swiping tiles away' animation definitely needs some sort of work. I feel that you should take cues from google now in this aspect, the animation they use is more noticeable, but even more importantly, it takes a full swipe across the screen for the tile to disappear completely, leaving time for the user to notice, especially us power users swiping every which direction as fast as we can :P
[Android Apps and Games] vange:
Would love an invite :)
[Android Apps and Games] armyofpunk:
I also am excited for an invite!
[Android Apps and Games] ParDema:
Would really appreciate an invite.
[Android Apps and Games] rkriekle:
I would also appreciate am invite. Reminds me of blinkfeed which i miss from my htc m8:(
[Android Apps and Games] tgyarslan:
i want invite they dont response me on twitter
[Android Apps and Games] LaytonxGyakuten:
may i have an invite as well?
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
I don't find any existing flow home user offering code here till now. I think this is going to case of aviate . Only diff is that it should not come out as public beta at very early stage when its twitter ,g+ and XDA like community are still in close beta stage.
[Android Apps and Games] speedfreak228:
Anyone have an invite?
[Android Apps and Games] dmoses1969:
Can I get an invite?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
Awesome, glad you like it. For now we have it take the profile picture from the main account on the phone. Do you have a profile pic set for that account?
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Thread closed pending investigation

XDA doesn't allow closed betas.
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
How come this thread is now open? It still is a closed beta and appears to be so just to gain popularity! Don't see how opening it up for about 20 at a time every few hours is going to help the developer.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I reopened it after talking with the devs. Wait for their new post
[Android Apps and Games] rakhan01:
Well they really were giving invites. It's just that their invite codes got redeemed quickly. I think they should make it a trial version for testers so anyone can try and report bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] A Guy Called Revive:
Invite system?

It seems that there a invite system so if anyone knows and willing to invite me? :P
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
This thread is reopened. Well.But until OP provide XDA code here regularly instead of just saying that FIND A CODE ON FLOWHOME TWITTER ,the thread is meaningless .
[Android Apps and Games] R3D X:
Hey man, I understand you're frustration. We want everyone on xda to have the beta. Before you just missed out, we don't want anyone to miss out. Our intention wasn't to leave just you out. Please be mature and calm down.

Matt should have a code that will be able to have everyone in xda community join the beta coming up shortly, please hold for a little bit
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
This time I don't want to miss it.Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] thunderkingyau:
Wanna to try, how to get the invite code?
[Android Apps and Games] armyofpunk:
I can send you one what's your email
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
Hi again everyone. Sorry for the misunderstanding about the closed beta, and thanks to the mods for giving us a second chance.

First, the new code for XDA members is XDADEV, it should allow all XDA users in.

Second, just to explain ourselves a bit. The reason the beta is closed is because we're trying to balance feedback, early access, bugs, and bad app ratings from beginner users. In the past we've allowed in everyone and less sophisticated users don't understand that they're seeing something a little early in the dev process, so they give us 1 star which unfortunately stays with the app even after we've improved it. XDA users obviously understand what a beta is, and we really want your feedback, so that's why we've opened it up to everyone here.

So that's it! We'll hopefully have a new release out soon that will have a bunch of improvements and bug fixes for things you've found. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
Got it.Thanks.

What I have missed that is transparent navigation bar and notification bar.
[Android Apps and Games] varefaz:
Can i have an invite Please ?
[Android Apps and Games] R3D X:
The invite code for everyone to use in in OP, xdadev
[Android Apps and Games] dmoses1969:
I really like it. Thanks for the access.

How about the ability to set a ontap area for the weather and clock to launch an app of choice.

How about two column dark theme.

Add google+ ?
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
[MENTION=2645969]R3D X[/MENTION] how can I remove the cards?
[Android Apps and Games] R3D X:
you can just swipe right on a card :good:
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
Great, glad you like it! As for the other suggestions, the short answer is ok, yes, and maybe, hah. Long answer is we're working on #1, will probably add a few more themes and that could definitely be one, and I'm not sure if G+ has the right api to allow us to do it. Ultimately we'll do a theming system so anyone can design themes, and a plugin system so people can add in their favorite services.
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
Got it.I have an extra inv code with me received by email, but the launcher setting does not show about it.
[Android Apps and Games] RikuDesu:
Is there anyway you could have notifications that don't go away? (Like I want to keep my text messages always there and dismiss it manually, despite it being dismissed from the notification drawer) (and with contact photo icons) Phone logs too (missed calls recived etc)
[Android Apps and Games] AbyssTrion:
First of all, great launcher. I would only want custom icons, more services and maybe some more customisation. But of course it's a beta so I look forward to everything you bring us :)
[Android Apps and Games] rakhan01:
- Torch card or at least 5 fixed buttons at bottom would be nice.

Phone, contacts, messaging and chrome are mostly used and it's an extra step to click on favourite box to access them.

- Favorite box should be moveable because I keep on clicking it accidently.

- Press and hold favorite button invokes search feature. This shouldn't be the case.

- Swiping bottom most cards should result in top cards to drop downwards but they stay at top.

- Open favorite box . Press back key. It refreshes the launcher (shouldn't be the case). Now again press favorite box and it will take you to all apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
Newly received card should be highlight. Great launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Schrotty35:
Great Launcher but i miss many other hoster for the start page.
[Android Apps and Games] 2k14:
Loving it!

This is definitely the next big thing for me in terms of simple, functional and minimally sexy launchers. Looks damn great, smooth and I love having my social networks easily and beautifully accessible (much like BlinkFeed and SF Launcher). Will be using this for awhile and give you my feedback soon. Oh and btw, I WILL LOVE YOU if you can integrate Feedly into the already-awesome looking homescreen (feed)!

Cheers!:good:

EDIT: Yeah, came back after a short while because I've been experiencing this very annoying bug that has been reported.
[Android Apps and Games] lideweister:
Yes, Feedly integration would be fantastic!
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Works great - no bugginess or trouble at all for me.

Would love - as others I guess - GooglePlus and also News integration. Feedly or rss input. That would be great as home screen.

Also possibility to hide apps.

And maybe icon themes. Thats all.

btw...Miss SlideScreen

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

Also.. Works great as stand alone social app in Nova. Or by navigation ring shortcut. Or swipe up gesture.
[Android Apps and Games] tzuba12:
Great app! Only think I would like is the ability to post to Facebook and Twitter from the launcher.

But other than that, it's awesome, smooth, and I haven't encountered any bugs. I'll probably replace Nova with this!
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
Awesome, glad you're liking it. Feedly will definitely be on the list, not quite sure where it falls in terms of priorities vs. a plain RSS subscriber but it definitely makes sense.

We've got a fix already in for the back button bug in the next release. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Glad it's working for you. By post, do you mean post new things or reply or comment on a post you see in the feed. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
Just uploaded a new release to the market: Beta 6

It's got a bunch of design improvements, mainly to material theme but mainly it's about fixing bugs you have been reporting. Check it out and let me know how it goes. Thanks again for all the great feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
In my country play store is still showing beta5.It will be great if OP provides here a copy of regular update as apk.
[Android Apps and Games] ojpd:
Awesome app.

The favorites box gets accidentally dragged/moved sometimes and it crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
Loving it so far. Definitely needs G+ integration. The only two things that are bothering me so far are: holding anywhere on the screen and swiping to the app button causes the screen to go to the app search page. Can become a bother when swiping down through the feed. The other thing is the app drawer animation, it's cool.... but can get dizzy. Would like to see more customization, themes, icon support, etc. But so far an excellent start! Great work!
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Maybe an option to disable the swipe for drawer. and then only accesible from fab?
[Android Apps and Games] chzzz:
This is what I have waited for years.

I want to say a big THANKS to the talented developers. This is art. This is the perfect launcher I always wanted.

I wish you guys to continue working with joy on this project. I'm so happy to use your app. Keep it up!

I'm also surprised of the smoothness. I'm using a antique Nexus S 4.4.4. This is pure awesomeness :)
[Android Apps and Games] rakhan01:
great update. It's much improved now. Thank you for such a nice launcher!

Time to add more improvement features.

- buttons for 4-5 quick use apps

- option to change grid size of all apps

- a third menu for recently used apps

- link date and weather with apps (there should be an option to select app for each)

- clicking on photo should display our profile.. settings should come by double tap or there should be another button for it.

- press and hole favorite box should not invoke search but allow to move it around
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Although I like the concept and the design, its in no way ready for my use :(

I've got no facebook (yeah, maybe THE only guy with no FB account), no instagram and well, I do have twitter, but don't really use it.

The only thing I use is Google Plus which is not incorporated in yet and well, would love to have news feed.

Again, as pointed out by someone ... would love to have hotspots so that for eg. I click on the time, I can define ti to open the calendar or maybe the alarm.

An option to hide my photo and increase the size of the time / temp would be nice. While I love seeing myself, would not want to see it as a profile pic ... everyday!

Thanks for opening the beta to us :) and ... nice work!
[Android Apps and Games] L0cke:
Looking good, although I'm not keen on the black background in the app drawer, just doesn't look as good as the rest of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] pakomola:

[Android Apps and Games] jayRokk:

Extremely amazed how well this launcher is put together!

Definitely unique and extremely smooth!

I'd love to see a borderless double in the future and maybe icon support!

I don't know what you guys have planned but keep doing it!! I'm all for what this launcher brings!
[Android Apps and Games] redndian:
It's in Op. XDADEV
[Android Apps and Games] tzuba12:
Both, actually [emoji1]
[Android Apps and Games] radospol:
please add gmail on homescreen :)

Edit: i have missing weather, time and my photo.
[Android Apps and Games] rakhan01:
Persisting bugs:

- on all apps, press search button, now swipe right (to homescreen). Now swipe left, and you will see "type to find apps" text on top left

- swipe the bottom most card and the top cards will not scroll downwards on their own but we have to manually scroll them.

- remove all cards and the launcher crashes
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
I am agree with you. These are the major bugs in the latest build . Hope fixes for these are already included in to do list.
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
Wowzers, looks like there's a few problems there, images not loading etc. What kind of phone/OS do you have?
[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
Yeah, something is wrong with yours, gmail and weather, etc work on mine. Maybe an issue with the Android version you are running or the device/OS. Maybe try to clear data and cache on the app itself. Not sure if you will need another invite code though.
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
Great, very helpful, thanks. I'll take another shot at them.

[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
Issue:

-So far this has happened to me twice: I can not dismiss cards on the main home screen. It lets me drag them across and I can see them fade but then comes back. Force stopping the app and relaunching it fixes the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] maarten2001:
I would like to hide some apps rom the apps screen, and also have a background on that because black looks a bit boring. And could folders be possible? Anyway thanks for the nice work on this, amazing launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] rfunderburk39:
Any current codes?
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
I think we've seen this once before too. Do you know if there's anything in particular that happens before, and is it with notifications too or just feed items? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kirin0ichiban:
So, are there any plans to include posts from friends? So far there only updates from pages.
[Android Apps and Games] jayRokk:
Read OP
[Android Apps and Games] rfunderburk39:
That I did, and I visited and I followed the developer on Twitter, but the codes have been used.

So back to my question.

Problem solved thanks to the help of the next reply.

Solution was found on post #122

Not that I recall, I think every time my phone had its screen off and then I started using it.
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
I've found app hiding to be less important since I use the quick search so much, but might be something to consider. That's also an interesting idea about the background for apps, thanks and glad you like it!
[Android Apps and Games] pa-x--rw:
Really digging it.

Sadly, I seem to lose the ability to flick away any tiles after a while.
[Android Apps and Games] rakhan01:
I scrolled a lil too fast and the screen went black..

After taking a screenshot, all tiles went on one side.

Plz chk attachment.
[Android Apps and Games] uniqlo:
It will be great if we can customize the image of the circle button, or simply by letting us to choose transparent. Having a black hole in the middle is somehow very weird IMHO.
[Android Apps and Games] MattKneale:
Guys! This is incredible. I'm sure something similar existed years ago but it was never polished. Beautiful. I'll post back with any bug reports/logcats/feature requests when I've been playing with it for a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
Hey Red, any chance we would have options for multiple sizes for the header image. I would like the options to make it bigger if I wanted to. No limits to the size would be nice if a editor mode was added.
[Android Apps and Games] LuanTeles:
Add translucent status and nav bar. and options to the app lancher ( effects like go launcher)

and animation to the main screen
[Android Apps and Games] iomthd:
This looks pretty slick!
[Android Apps and Games] uj91:
Awesome app.. Loving it!
[Android Apps and Games] R3D X:
Why you no trust my design dimensions??!!!

Nah jk man. yeah that would be a cool feature. Ultimately the devs intend to make this a highly customizable app. For now you have to put up with my designs haha.
[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
LOL... Thats awesome to hear. So correct me if I am wrong, but are you the designer and you partnered with a dev who is creating the app itself? Sounds like an awesome partnership ;)
[Android Apps and Games] SFCMouco:
Its a shame that Its so difficult to get a code... I always seem to get it to late in the day :( Is it possible to get it another way?

I have been following this forum entry and also the twitter account and it seems a near perfect launcher to use on a daily bases... Please give me a chance to try it!!!
[Android Apps and Games] AbyssTrion:
Read the OP my Friend
[Android Apps and Games] L0cke:
There doesn't seem to be an option to open Facebook posts in the Fb app, only a web browser. Also a tile for Calendar appointments for that day or just the next three would cool and handy.
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
Unfortunately the Facebook app doesn't allow deep linking anymore, which is too bad. Maybe they'll add it back in as that seems to be one of the strengths of Android in general. Upcoming appointments would be nice too, I agree. I'm not sure if we'll try to do these kind of "info cards" native to the app, or just do widget support first. Still deciding what the best course would be, but definitely in general we'd like to add that.
[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
Honestly I'm more interested in G+. I know in the past it has been almost impossible for devs to get it setup which totally confuses me...but regardless, if this app was able to get that setup.....big wow.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Thats odd I can still open posts in the FB app from different places. IT asks if I want to open with a browser or with the FB app.
[Android Apps and Games] L0cke:
That's a shame if it can't be done. Damn Facebook and their policies ruining good apps like this one, but as zelendel states it does work for other apps, so maybe there is some hope of getting to work.

Widget support would be great, looking forward to that.
[Android Apps and Games] Pddgangsta:
Amazing app.Needs some tweaks on the cpu usage perhaps.Oh,and would be handy some notification counter (maybe a tile or 2 with messages and calls)

Anyway,keep up with your good work
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
Oh, does the facebook app prompt you to open from other apps sometimes? Maybe I've just got the URL format wrong. Would be nice if it could be fixed. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] radospol:
Any solution for me? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] jayRokk:
Try clearing data and cache and restarting the launcher.

Also to get weather make sure its enabled thru setting and have it at high accuracy. After it gets location and weather you can switch back to battery savings or low GPS usage.

I've done this every time it fails to swipe notifications/post and get weather/picture.

And it works smoothly afterwards.

Try it out and see if it works.
[Android Apps and Games] garcia1:
i have same problem with weather.. is not visible or not worked. i try to reinstall, delete cache but without change.. other worked correctly.. but need supp for other social sites.. g+, vkontakte and other..
[Android Apps and Games] Justinchi:
Really enjoying this launcher. Not many launchers can make me stop using Apex to try them, but this one just looked gorgeous.

A few thoughts:

Love swipe to remove tiles. Bug: doesn't work anymore.

Love the quick button for favorite apps. Suggestion: add custom gestures to that button to launch apps and shortcuts. This is one feature I'm still missing from Apex.

Love the right screen being the app drawer. Suggestion: Perhaps a left homescreen could be something else cool.

Thanks for this project and work.
[Android Apps and Games] BurnRubber90:
Really good app, thanks devs.

For some reason my picture doesn't pops up on my circle.. any way to change that?
[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
Great suggestions and workarounds here, thanks. I think we need to add the ability to enter your location (city name) if the GPS isn't working for you maybe.

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

I've just finally been able to see the swipe away failure bug, it's super weird but we're working on it. Re: left screen being something cool, we were thinking this as well but then you lose the ability to swipe cards which is a bummer. Not quite sure what to do there yet. Glad you're liking it so far though, thanks for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] SweetCupcake:
nice app, but add pleas more apps for Homscreen i missing G+, You Tube and ohter news and Medien..... Message app?! and the Phone app,
[Android Apps and Games] uj91:
AWESOME!!!!

Hey developer,

I normally surf XDA Forums and install random apps & flash roms from here, but till now I haven't felt the urge to write down a review or feedback. But after using this app (FLOWHOME) I just couldn't resist but post my experience with it.

Actually I've been surfing some forums on XDA to just find a launcher which could replicate the BLINKFEED feature of HTC ONE-M7 which came last year. I tried around 30-35 odd launchers, but to my dismay I couldn't find any which had all of its ingredients like functionality, design language, ease of user interface packed into one app. And now finally my search has stopped at this superb application. I just wanted to request you to add the connectivity for FEEDLY sync & other social networks like G+ , Youtube, etc. And a little bit of variety in animations would just add to the whole flavour of this application.

Thank you,

Keep going!!

PEACE.

[Android Apps and Games] Maddinuser:

[Android Apps and Games] megamattron:
Thanks so much for the support, it's great to know we're on to something. Feedly is definitely on the list, but it seems like G+ doesn't have the API support that we need to integrate :(

BTW, we're working on a plugin interface so everything can get supported, any devs who are interested get in touch with me so you can be one of our early testers.

Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

Battery for me is around ~3% with all services connected and a 30 minute refresh setting, that's on a Moto X if it matters. I do tend to use it quite a bit though so that might make that number a little higher than the average :)

-Change background image, not just header.

-Change app drawer icons

-An option to disable the app drawer all together (and only use that neat shortcut drawer)

-Block certain user's post from showing up
[Android Apps and Games] bratboo:
Really smoth and nice. Hope you can add a 3 column material design for phablet users. Also I hope you can add a Manual Update feature and just swipe down from the top to refresh. Looking forward for more updates.
