Ready to updat :)

Hey, friend, just as the introduction, if you have already install Geak os, you could update on settings-check for updates.

If it is the first time here, you could just download the apk file in the attachment and install.

Hope you like it, and we plan to update once a week.

Leave me any idea or suggestion if you want :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Oh, I see, but if you got problems with message app or something you do not like, we could fix it.

Just feel free to tell me.

you could attach a pic if something works not right on your phone so that we could fix it soon :）

i have start to develop Geak os not long, so it maybe not that perfect and special,

That's why i post a thread and provied a free version for professional people like you guys ~

I would like you to help me make it better :)
[Android Apps and Games] Landraider17:
What is the progress mate? any new features on the list for the next release? Waiting now...
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Soooo sorry for reply you late, mate ~

We China just finish the big vacation, The National Day

So, here comes the working day, also the new features.

I think the biggest feature for the following version maybe the English version new, and also the weather may works, or maybe location part which im trying to.

Anything creative you want could tell me :)
[Android Apps and Games] gyokzoli:
Don't call it OS, you deceive people with this name. This is only a launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
I guess it is not just a launcher, it has totally new message, dialer, news(im developing and will be ready soon)

and also i plan to do more

So i made it, cause i want to make a new os, not only a launcher, but i have to start with launcher.

oh, i even got cloud service, so you could back up your phone numbers, and so as messages and memo in the future~

So, i hope you could keep trying it and give some ideas to make it better mate :)
[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:
still not an OS...good ideas, but you might want to change the name so you dont get some comments saying its not what the user expected(because of the OS part)..
[Android Apps and Games] Landraider17:
Call it the GEAK UI or the GEAK UX!!! that would be appropriate till you develop a full fledged os!
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Ok, i will consider it.

I call it os cause i just want everyone know that, i am focus on doing a goos os, even though it maybe under your expected.

So that you could give good ideas and make it real os one day.

But thanks for your support bro. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Thanks to be thoughtful, and just like i said on the last floor, i just want everyone know that im going to make a os, not only UI or new launcher something.

Anyway, thanks for that, What we call it is not that important, it's better to focus on the functions.

Hope you could using it and keep picking some questions or some good suggestion.

im sure you will enjoy it better and better :)
[Android Apps and Games] hell_lock:
Is there any way I can change my default apps such as music?
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Just as you konw, for the present some of the apps are just link to the default apps.

We are trying to change to make a totally new music apps and also camera, memo, clock and so on.

Now, im afraid you have to use your defalt apps.

But you could tell me what apps you want to change first, and how do you want to change it :)
[Android Apps and Games] hell_lock:
Only music because the I'm using aosp and the stock player is really bad.. so I wanted to swap it with PlayMusic or Walkman app.

Also, the news is always in chinese :(

Rest is ok.
[Android Apps and Games] MixyStar:
I like it tooo :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Oh thanks, mate

I'm gonna to update new version this week. You could try :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Yeah, thx for the suport

Guess you must have used lots of launcher, right?

So, how do you think of that?
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Yeah, that's what im definitely talking about !

I feel so happy talking about you, mate :)

We kind of have the same opinion on something !!!

im gonna to have your name on #1, check it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
we also plan to put Geak OS on the google play, you could have some privilege~ :)
[Android Apps and Games] Landraider17:
Welcome back!

Hello there. Hope you had a good vacation and had some peace of mind to think over new features for the OS.

anyways, I welcome you back with a small info (not an issue really but just to get the OS polished to the last detail)

* The call log details displays Chinese (?) characters after the date. Please do fix it in next release.:angel:

* Also please do add a provision to Remove the Clock from Desktop (if this facility is not there already):D

Waiting for more ...:good:
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Thanks ~ I am sooo glad you have your support!

*For the Chinese part in call log details, you mean the week, right? I am sure it will be fixed in the next release, Sorry to bring you inconvenience :(

*For the second suggestion, do you mean you want to remove the clock by adding option for it?

We are also preparing the weather part, also display right beside the clock.

So, what do you wish to display in the home?
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Thanks~

I update the contents on #1

Also put some pics which are taken during the vacation.

You could check :)
[Android Apps and Games] ianjay06:
Application crash exit evertime i exit from messaging app. and make it as default launcher.. its keeping redraws
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
OH really? Did it happened every time?

Could you tell me your version of Android and Mobile model so that we can find the reason.
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
oh i see the Android version and mobile model.

Could you post a screenshot for me? or try to tell more details?

I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

Thanks so much, mate~
[Android Apps and Games] SnapPea:
Looks very clean and nice.
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Yeah, thx :)

im so happy you like it, that's what we are going to do.

And we're trying best to give more features. so you are welcome to give feedbacks~~
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
I have got feedbacks that some of you have crash problem.

It is happened on some device occasionally.

If you got the same problem, please tell me your

phone model

,

Android version

, and

Geak OS version

.

i would be thankful if you post a pic with your problem.

Have a good weekend :)
[Android Apps and Games] ianjay06:
StarMobile Up. Android KK 4.4.2 Mediatek 6582m SoC in 1gb Ram. Latest GeakOS installed
[Android Apps and Games] Landraider17:
Clock is OK. With weather also it will be fine. Just that I use the Alive Numbers 2 wallpaper which provides that info. So it seems redundant and awkward to have two clocks. So an option to remove it from homescreen (if required) can be made available. Just to add flexibility.

What more??

I guess the battery bar may be handy!

And one more request if I could make.

A sidebar option with quick launch shortcuts. As the dock has only four icons hence the sidebar would be of great assistance to quickly launch apps from the home itself. You can take a look at the 360 launcher. It has a very cool QUICK OPEN DRAWER with tabs which pops up when you swipe up from Bottom Left/Right Corner. If similar functionality can be added, then it would be awesome.

will keep you posted for more ideas...
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Thanks so much for your suggestions.

I consider every of them carefully, and here what we are going to do.

1. For the weather, now we're working for the city select and location option, and it will be ok in this month. maybe next version.

2. And the clock, I have to say it is a little hard to make a option to remove it for the present. But I would like to talk about it with my friends. And i like your ideas, some other could got the same problem.

3. For the battery bar, what kind of battery bar do you like? cause you maybe have got one on the task bar. So could you tell more details about the battery bar?

4. Side bar. I also install 360 luncher, do you mean side bar like this pic below?(pic1) aucutlly we are working at menu bar by slide the luncher upper. cause slide the luncher down is the default memu bar and it can not be changed unless you change the rom. and Geak do not need to change rom. I got some ideas and post some pick here, see if you like it.(pic 2,3)

So happy talking to you. mate :)

360 launcher 1)

OUR IDEAS: 2) 3)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Great concept! If a launcher can give rise to an APK-based OS, I think custom ROMs would not be so necessary :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Thanks for the compliment, we will update the version every week, so if you got some good ideas, just leave a message.

We got lots of topic to talk about :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Yeah, Thanks, one of the Geak designer took it :)

I would post more in succession.

Also, do you have some ideas on the #78?
[Android Apps and Games] uodii:
Not bad. Is it possible to show the name of the sender of a group chat inside the Messaging app?
[Android Apps and Games] Landraider17:
I meant this side bar (actually it is called quick open or something)

And battery bar like simple percentage and lines (you can see in the screenshot top right which comes from Alive Number 2 wallpaper) ... Like we make using uccw or Zooper widget

And few more requests (if you think it would be good):

1. Automatic Wallpaper Changer (which will change the wallpaper after a fixed time interval)

2. A Lockscreen

3. An option for Single Page scrolling App List (much like the Flowhome launcher on XDA) ;)

I may seem overwhelming but I thought you can consider all possible options if you are building a complete OS Experience...

Keep up the good work. All the best...
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Thx ~~

Now the names of sender for group chat in the message are displayed in title bar.

So, what's your suggestion about message app?
[Android Apps and Games] uodii:
Their names are showing in the title bar, yes, but it's hard to tell which message is coming from which person because there is no name associated to each particular message. The title bar let's you know who's involved in the conversation, but you dont know who's doing the talking...Or am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
I considered your words and discussed with my friends.

For the side bar (or somethingyou could quick open your apps), the pics I sent you in the last reply is what we are going to develop. the 4 apps in the bottom is decided by the frequency you use the apps.

For the battery bar, it would be appear when we decide to develop the theme.

Lock screen is what im sure we will develop.

And Automatic Wallpaper is also what we plan to develop, but maybe will be after the lock screen.

Single Page scrolling App List, im not sure about this, I will see whether most of the user like it.

We now developing app store, maybe will release in the next version. I also recommend some interesting apps which are not in the top of the google play list. Just a fews days later, you would see it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Landraider17:
Ya do things on your priority list first, you always will have time to enhance the experience later also. Keep up the good work. Great Job...
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Okay, always want to thanks for your support, bro.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer :)

Keep up with the new version and have a nice day~
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Yeah, i got it and understant what situation you are talking about.

If you sending group messgeges, you do not konw which one is delivered successfully.

And if one of the contacts reply it goes to the personal chat just between you and he, it is ok right?

I will try to find way to display the message information in group message.

by the way, do you like the group message copied according the number you send to or just display one?
[Android Apps and Games] uodii:
Something like this where the name of each person appears inside the bubble:
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Yeah, i got it.

But, it seems that the pic you provide seems a chatting apps, not message app.

For the message app, we could add the name of the contact in front of every messege you send to let you distinguish which message has been send or not.

But if one of contacts in the group message reply to you, the message go to the box just between you and him.

Thanks for your ideas, we will change in the flollowing updates.

By the way, I have your name in the #1 to show my gratitude :)

CHeck the new updates i relase today~~
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Sorry to reply you late.

Today I relesae the new version, you could try :)

And for the weather wighet, it will coming soon.

im also sure the lockscreen will come.

But the siderbar, cause the left side shortcut is news, so we are discussing some other way, need more time...

also thanks for your support and enjoy the new version ~
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Of course, more options will coming soon.

actually i wanna to ask, what do you think to make a os more attractive?

what's the main reason you use it?

we're gonna to put Geak os on Google play store, that's what im confusing about recently...
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Thanks for the ideas.

I will consider them carefully.

We will soon upload Geak OS on google play :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
we plan to put Geak os on Googel play, which category do yo think is best ??
[Android Apps and Games] Landraider17:
Hey there, please do add support for Icon Packs in next release (if not already done!)... And

Also an Analog Clock widget with beautiful faces (ability to choose between predefined faces) would be nice...

All the best. Keep up the Good work...
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Yeah, we have consider that.

I think clock widget which could change beautiful faces will appear in the theme in the following develop plan.

Also, the icon packs, just as you know, now the system apps is in the pack and the thrid part apps are all released in the launcher, so you could arrange them by your own habbit.

I just relase new version again. and add app store, there I recommend some interesting apps you could try :)

By the way, how do you think the news? Does it match the language you are using?
[Android Apps and Games] crullick:
.....getting better and better!

[MENTION=6032675]Flying snail[/MENTION]

don't want to be a party pooper (i'm a fan from day#1), but let me share a couple of impressions:

- putting geak os on play store at this stage of development will get you a ton of bad reviews << which is totally undeserved

- developing a complete pack - "os" as you call it - is a very demanding and long-term process and i encourage you to do so; but please consider making separate apps available too

keep up the good work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Landraider17:
Yes, what [MENTION=4786788]crullick[/MENTION] said is correct. I agree with him. You should wait for the Playstore Release a bit longer till its polished enough...
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Thanks so much for the advice, mate. [MENTION=5391996]Landraider17[/MENTION]

I know we are not perfect enough, but after release version on xda for such a long time, less and less people talk about there ideas about GEAK OS.

So, I am wonder that if we release Geak os on google play and got more people to know it, maybe that would help Geak os grow fast.

But before we release the version on goole play, which part do you think we are not encough and should be fixed.

I would like to hear your ideas, mate :)

Thanks so much.
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Also want to hear some detail suggetstions before i publish this version on Google play :)
[Android Apps and Games] crullick:
for starters: try to make missing apps (music, gallery, etc) optional <> possible to revert to system/user defaults
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Yeah, we are now putting effort on gallery and music.

For the present we focus on basic function like launcher, dialer, message, new etc. And all these fuction is ok for publish i think.

But for the gallery and music, it is much more kind of personalization.

So do you got some good ideas about music and gallery?

Thanks for your advise friends :)
[Android Apps and Games] Landraider17:
Hi there, If I am not mistaken what [MENTION=4786788]crulic[/MENTION] meant by the post above is that give users the chance to change the default apps in GeakOS. i.e. if someone wants to use stock SMS in place of GeakSMS then there should be an option for the same. Similarly for other GeakOS apps too.

When is the next release?
[Android Apps and Games] crullick:
you are all right (sounds like direct democracy ;))

in my not-so-humble-more-arrogant-opinion :o

launcher needs gestures (it's a fashion i support) + to keep it away from miui kind have a drawer

"basic functions" need themeing >> to win girls over

gallery and music can be done in coop with other developers over here, as well as messaging

+ released as autonomous apps
[Android Apps and Games] littl3dot:
Hey, the OS looks amazing, clean and best of all the message and diaper app are superb (please don't change anything).

Wondering if u ever consider making the Message and Dialer app in standalone version?

As for improvement,

GUI: maybe less apple-looking icons?

Music App: TTPod (currently discontinued but great app)

Camera: CameraNext looks amazing

Keep up the good work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Aditya Keri:
Yes I would love a standalone dialer and message app as well!
[Android Apps and Games] kicker22004:
My biggest complaint... I've installed it and removed it about 5 times now... Is the fact that there is no app drawer. I personally hate the iPhone feel. Just my opinion
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Yeah I see, if you want to add a opiton to switch to the default apps.

Ummm.... That is to say that even though you are using Geak os, but you are not satisfied with some part of it.

I would like to hear which part do you want to change to make Geak os more convient to use.

And i think if you want to switch to the default apps, you could press the home botton and go to the touchwiz homepage.

You're always welcome to gvie feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
I am so happy you could give us good suggestions in details and your ideas helps a lot.

We will discuss it and let you know.

We also preparing a forum ourselves, hope you could come when we are ready.

Thanks for the support all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Thanks for the compliment

I have to say that for the present we do not have plan to make a standalone version of Message and Dialer, cause we consider geak os is a integrated one.

But for the camera, gallery and some widgets we are developing now will be in the Geak app store and maybe upload to Google play in the future.

That's our plan for the present.

But we could also consider your advice :)

You are welcome to give ideas all the time~~
[Android Apps and Games] Diamantopoulos:
thanx

ok
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
You're welcome to give feedback any time :)

Have a nice day~
[Android Apps and Games] littl3dot:
Any ET for the next update?
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
We release new version every week.

For the version we are going to release tommorow, we plan to add image of contracts, and also the you could select region of news.

And for the following version, we plan to add weather :)

New version will not release on google play untill it is stable.

[Android Apps and Games] littl3dot:

[Android Apps and Games] Landraider17:

[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:

Leave me a message at any time~
[Android Apps and Games] littl3dot:
Just updated to the newest version from the first post ... Is it also the same version available in Playstore?

I also unable to find the option to select need region. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
The version here in XDA is always newer than in google play.

So if we got a new feature, we put it on XDA first to get some feedbacks.

I would release new version in XDA every week, but once a month in google play, just as I wrote on the first post.

You are welcome to try the new updates, and new version of this week will be release in one day, today or tommorow.

I will announce on facebook and also XDA.

You could follow us on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/likegeakos

I'm happy you like it, dear
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
I am so thankful for your support all the time.

I just update version 14310, add contacts avatar and region selection option on news. You could have a try :)

And it is a only a strat on google play, and the version on google play is always late than xda to make sure it is stable.

I am also looking forward to see how people view it~
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:

[Android Apps and Games] migueldbr:

[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
Yeah, im afraid that we do not have plan to separate the sms app for the present.

But you could try our GEAK OS and give some suggestion :)

Hope you like it.
[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:

[Android Apps and Games] Flying snail:
