[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
I'll try it when it's online in play store. ;)

EDIT: Got the update, can't update it. At launch i get following message: 'Solid Launcher has stopped.'
[Android Apps and Games] AngeloAvv:
Nice launcher!

The "New folder settings" are very useful!
[Android Apps and Games] charlatan01:
Just installed the latest form the play store, but I get constant FC's. Uninstalled, rebooted and installed again with same result. Running a 4.4.4 variant of Sony's stock KK ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Oops, i made big mistake.

Explanation: I make solid crash itself if it does not retrieve home data correctly, but if you install it for the first time, there is no data, so now it crash ! Da**, I did not think about first launch when doing that.

Will be fixed as soon as possible for shure.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Dropped fixed update, sorry for this issue :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
No fix for me. Just got the update, but can't start the launcher.

I'm running android 4.1.2 on Acer S500.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I think update was not available yet, tried 2 mins ago, works well
[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
v1.4.9, got the download today. Still not working.
[Android Apps and Games] keenofhiphop:
Hey dude, I can translate the German play store description, just send it to me via PM and if you want your mail adress...

I think it's not so great if the first thing you read is "...tired of your usual carrier rockets?"

Just saying :A

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Version name doesn't change because fix consists just in erasing one line in source code.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Hi thanks for support, I'll send you pm !
[Android Apps and Games] Reunidev:
great job.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks ! Dont hesitate to leave feedback on playstore !

Just found a new bug, did you enbable hide icon option ? This function is broken in last release ... will be fixed soon :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
I'm not able to open Solid Launcher. The new updates didn't fix the problem for me apparently. :(
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Ok, I just posted an update (1.4.9.1), I fixed a lot of bugs !
[MENTION=4630005]PowerPlop[/MENTION] tell me if it solves your problem !
[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
Still not fixed. :p

I have Xposed installed. Could that be the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Are you running android version lower than kitkat ?

Edit: yes 4.1 ...

I ll look into this issue, the system can't find the service wich monitor music change to update header background to album art, because it is targeted for kitkat (api19).

Xposed isn't concerned.

I will test this on an old 4.1 device tomorrow.

Thanks for logcat !
[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
Thanks for all the help! :D
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Just dropped 1.4.9.2 (Yes version name becomes a bit long !!)

I have fixed bugs related to android lower than kitkat. It should work for you ! Let me know
[Android Apps and Games] dancer_69:
I just installed Solid Launcher and seems very nice light and fast.

I have a problem though. I cannot add replace widgets, I only was able to add a widget on the second top screen and now I cannot remove it replace it or add another. I tried to tap&hold but doesn't do nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks for your feedback, do not hesitate to leave a comment on PlayStore ! B)

For widgets, you have to click on the 3 dots button on the top right of the screen to access to widget options.
[Android Apps and Games] dancer_69:
Thanks, this button wasn't there after I added the first widget and didn't appear even after "Restore settings to default". It appears after I changed some settings including indicator color. It's hardly visible in most of widgets though. I think is better to add this menu to the other settings menu too.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Just dropped 1.4.9.3

This problem is now fixed.

Widgets issues has been fixed, I don't think I will change this since these buttons are related to each widget.

Thanks for feedback !
[Android Apps and Games] nominator2204:
Not Bad., IT looks good
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks for your feedback, don't hesitate to leave a comment on playstore, it helps a lot !
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Just posted

1.5

release. I have added Floating widgets ! :cool:

A lot of optimization in terms of code and data managing.

Also reviewed small design details.

I am fighting against small hidden bugs, it normally becomes more and more stable ...

An issue appens some times: after resuming to launcher, apps grids are empty, i can't figure out what is wrong, that's why i had implemented custom logger for this issue. If you face this issue, a file will be generated on your sdcard at Android/data/data/com.majeur.launcher/files/log.txt

If someone face this issue, please post file here, thanks ! :)
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Any body noticed this issue ?
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Just release

1.5.2

update with really big improvements !

Solid is now more battery efficient, faster and more stable :D
[Android Apps and Games] CKH4:
Yay update!!!
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Still working on it !

Dropped 1.5.3, main new features are Circle reveal animations which are really nice, and SolidWidget is now a native widget. I also fixed alot of bugs as usual ..

[MENTION=6366276]CKH4[/MENTION] Thanks dude, appreciate
[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
Just tried this launcher again, but it crashes when I want to add widgets.

Device: Acer S500: JB 4.1.2

EDIT: When I press "add widgets", I can see the loading icon, but it will crash after ±2 seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] CKH4:
Can you make the dashboard widget have a Fahrenheit option? I think it's a great widget and if like to have it replace my current one but I can't until its in Fahrenheit.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Just dropped 1.5.4:

-Redesigned settings

-Fixed crash on Lollipop devices

-DashBoard widget: added units choice, optimizations

Done in 1.5.4
[Android Apps and Games] raf.lozano:
Sometimes when I leave home, navigate or play same game, when I get back home, it doesn't load the icons on the home screen. Only when I leave again and get back , say through recents button, is when it loads again the icons.

Overall, that's a nice piece of work, and floating widgets are the best ?!
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Dropped 1.5.5, some good things has been done in this release !

-Memory improvement

-Added more details in settings

-Reworked widget provider

-Fixed crash on launch
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I'm aware oh this bug, I can't find a clear reason, I think it's a memory problem but not sure.

I didn't meet this bug in last release, maybe thanks to last memory optimizations I made. Please write here if you still meet this bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
[MENTION=4669109]PdroidAndroid[/MENTION]:

awesome launcher, I like the two-section screen. Everything runs smoothly... until I add a widget (no matter what widget) to the top section. This results in an annoying lag while scrolling through the home screens, opening the app drawer and scroll through the app drawer. Thus the launcher is unusable for me at the moment :( Anything I can do to help you improve your launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Fixed in today release ! Thanks for you feedback

Just dropped 1.5.6:

-Added app animations

-Fixed lags caused by some widgets

-Improved circle reveal animation

-Memory optimizations

EDIT : 1.5.7 released, I think all priorities have now been done, if you have any recomendations post here !

-Added reveal app drawer

-Resigned apwwidget and shortcut providers

-Design improvmements

-Lollipop app transitions available
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Thanks for the update. No more lag :good:

I have some more suggestions:

- Add an option to disable the page indicator

- Add an option for endless homescreen scrolling

- Re-add the option to set the statusbar color/transparency (this has been present in v1.5.5, but has been removed in v 1.5.6)

- Add an option to fit the widget to the screen size (Nova Launcher has this option and it's one of the only reasons why I haven't switched to another default launcher)

- Add an app launcher icon

- Add an option to set one specific screen as homescreen

- Add the possibility to add widgets as "real" widgets to the lower section (no icons that open the widget upon being clicked)

I haven't tried v1.5.7 yet, so if any of those suggestions have already been implemented, simply ignore it.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
1.5.8 will be a big update, a lot of code has been rewritten and approached differently. Also it will use last android platform, eg Android 6.0 or Android M.

[MENTION=5901790]orville87[/MENTION]

- Add an option to disable the page indicator

Will be in 1.5.8, with redesigned indicators

- Add an option for endless homescreen scrolling

Still things to fix, not sure it will be done in 1.5.8

- Re-add the option to set the statusbar color/transparency (this has been present in v1.5.5, but has been removed in v 1.5.6)

This option never was in Solid Launcher, Its a good idea for later release.

- Add an option to fit the widget to the screen size (Nova Launcher has this option and it's one of the only reasons why I haven't switched to another default launcher)

I don't understand what you're talking about

- Add an app launcher icon

To open app drawer ? The drawer is easy to access, an icon to open it will be redundant.

- Add an option to set one specific screen as homescreen

Will be in 1.5.8

- Add the possibility to add widgets as "real" widgets to the lower section (no icons that open the widget upon being clicked)

This breaks launcher base guidelines, eg. splited home to separate app from widget. Solid is designed to be different from redundant basic grid launcher.

Thanks a lot for your involvement !
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Strange, I thought it has been there as I remember being confused why the statusbar wasn't transparent anymore after updating the app. Nevertheless, if you are considering this as a future option, I am very fine with it as it is right now :)

Well, this is difficult to describe. If you are interested, try the free version of Nova Launcher, add any widget you like, long press on that widget and select "Filling" (or similar, I am using the German version). You will see that Nova stretches the widget itself to maximize its size within its widget area (as I said: difficult to describe). But this is only a minor problem, as your launcher stands out of other launchers I have tried so far due to its great concept.

You are right about this, was just a thought.

I see your point there. But I (and other users as well, I guess) have several widgets with one "main" widget (Chronus, which includes notification extensions) and only one page wih apps (mostly folders). So for me it would be okay to only have one page filled with apps, whereas two or three pages of the lower section are filled with other widgets (music, calendar,...). This way one has its main widget present all the time and can scroll through the other pages, accessing all other widgets/apps.

You're welcome :)
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
You mean remove default widget margins ? Simply by curiosity, why you need this ?

Next update will be dropped in next 2 days.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Yeah, removing the widgets default margins. Well, in my opinion it looks more asthetically. So only a visual preference.
[Android Apps and Games] Thanatos12:
Great Job :) Thank You :)
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I just finished 1.5.8, it will be available within few hours !

This version is almost a major update, lot of things have been rewritten, it use less external libraries and lot of design items have been reworked.

Here is the changelog for 1.5.8:

-Customize item's icons

-Icon packs are now unlocked

-Design improvements

-Choose main pages (widgets and grids)

-Material design popups

-Better handle of setting changes

-Improved app drawer design

-Lot of stability optimizations

-Latest APIs

Status and navigation bars tint option is planned for next update.

[MENTION=6560320]Thanatos12[/MENTION] Thanks for your feedback !

[MENTION=5901790]orville87[/MENTION] These default margins are added by android system itself, I'll see in next update what can I do.
[Android Apps and Games] dmbishop:
Hi,

Getting lots of Forced Closes in the settings with 1.5.8 (theme color, background, etc).

Dave
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
It seems to append only on lollipop devices, I will look into this as soon as possible
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Lollipop bug fixed in 1.5.8-1 ! Thanks to all of you for feedbacks !
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
just stumbled upon this one and it's a nice launcher, i especially like the split screen feature where widgets are always visible (i've been looking for something like this for ages and i wonder why Nova didn't do something like this as well)

it can be even better... here are my thoughts/suggestions (sorry if something has already been mentioned)

- removing "3 dot" image from the top widget part of the screen (use long press instead)

- adjusting widget/icon margins (not all of us like margins and some widgets just look better when they're shown from side to side, i.e. custom zooper ones)

- adding another screen split to make narrow bottom dock for up to 5 icons (i like having 5 icons there that i always use: phone - es file explorer - app drawer - messenger - settings)

- adding an option to choose level of background transparency

- option to choose font color for icon labels

i've noticed that when i scroll through app pages on homescreen i always accidentaly open an app if i put my finger to scrolll on its icon area

i'm currently using Nova Pro but i'd probabbly switch immediately to your launcher if above suggestions would be included/possible... at least in some pro version...

keep it up... great work...

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
- removing "3 dot" image from the top widget part of the screen (use long press instead)

Long clicks was used in early release of solid, but it ended up in scroll and long click bugs, but I will take a look with a new approach.

- adjusting widget/icon margins (not all of us like margins and some widgets just look better when they're shown from side to side, i.e. custom zooper ones)

Work in progress

- adding another screen split to make narrow bottom dock for up to 5 icons (i like having 5 icons there that i always use: phone - es file explorer - app drawer - messenger - settings)

A dock will be added in next release, but I am not sure if I should make it scrollable with multiple page, or only one dock. Because another scrollable section in screen can make too much scroll areas for the user, What do you think about it ?

- adding an option to choose level of background transparency

You talk about cards transparency ? Or launcher background

- option to choose font color for icon labels

Custom settings for home icon appearance will be added in next release

i've noticed that when i scroll through app pages on homescreen i always accidentaly open an app if i put my finger to scrolll on its icon area

I've already found this glitch, I will rework touch events handling to see what I can improve to avoid this, also when you lock desktop and then if you try to long click an app , you will open an app accidentally. it the same problem in code. I hope I will be able to fix this.

keep it up... great work...

Thanks a lot for your involvement
[Android Apps and Games] mschief148:
Downloaded and testing. So far I like the concept, keep it up the good work.

[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
just one page dock is more than enough :) (i personally never used a dock with more than one page)

cards transparency... or everything that already has a transparency option

thanks for looking into this suggestions

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] richard el renthlei:
Please make the app drawer animation like trebuchet circle animation

Sent from my HM Note 4G (LTE)
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
what do you mean by trebuchet circle anim ? I have looked in a cm12 trebuchet, and I didn't see anything like this.

There is already a circle animation for drawer in solid
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I just dropped 1.5.9 ! :D

This version is a major update, a lot of code has been rewriten, here is the main new features :

Also a lot of details in design have been improved. For example, all items in home have the same colors as them parents (grids or dock), and if you open a folder in dock, it will have the same color as dock, respectively for grids.

Let me now your thougts or recommendations ! :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
nice update... here are the first impressions...

good

- fully transparent backgrounds

- no more "3 dot" icon on widgets

- added 5icon dock

"bad" + suggestions

- launcher settings are kinda messed up (some dock and widget settings are under "theme")

- still no margins selection (so icons are narrower than dock)

- status bar is not transparent

- would like to see some button or shortcut that returns the app page to default one (customizeable with custom icon pack)
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
- launcher settings are kinda messed up (some dock and widget settings are under "theme")

-- All theme related settings are under theme section, it seems consistent

- still no margins selection (so icons are narrower than dock)

-- You mean when you change dock icons size they are cuted ?

- status bar is not transparent

-- translucent status is available only for 4.4+ devices, if it does not works, this should be a problem with your rom

- would like to see some button or shortcut that returns the app page to default one (customizeable with custom icon pack)

-- good idea, i will look into this for upcoming updates

Thanks for the feedback, it really helps me !

If everybody could post screenshots of its home, it's very interesting
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
wouldn't agree with you...

i.e. if i want to change anything related to dock - i would want to find it under "dock settings" (similar how nova launcher has it and it's still the best user friendly launcher around, imho of course)

i mean

- if i use 5 columns, icons are too close together

- icons are too far from screen edge

- dock is too far from main icon screen (cutting the top margin of the dock by double would be great)

- see margin options in nova launcher for dock, drawer and homescreen - that would give you an idea

i use 5.0.2 based rom - i'll see if i can change that somewhere else

thank you for listening :)

keep up the good work...

this app is just a few steps away from becoming nova replacement :)

edit:

btw is it normal that the screenshot gives me low res photo?

i have a fhd device (1080x1920px screen)

when i took that screenshot - it was saved in low res... (it might be just a rom issue but i asked just to be sure)
[Android Apps and Games] salimtn:
Hi

I think there is a problem with my navigation bar

I'm running blisspop 4.1 cm12.1 with 320dpi Samsung grand 2 sm-g7102
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Your device has hardware button, in android there is no official way to know if a navigationbar is present. To to so, most of apps check if device has home and back button, if not it means there is a nav bar.
[Android Apps and Games] salimtn:
That doesn't make a sense

Almost all my apps detect my navigation bar easily

You can see nova for example
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
In fact they do not detect nabvar, they just request to be only in touchables areas (ie fitSystemWindow) , but I cannot do it this way because I need to put header bg under status. But I will look if I can do anything for next update !
[Android Apps and Games] salimtn:
Thank you

I will wait for the update
[Android Apps and Games] CKH4:
Stopped working on Stock Android 5.0 Galaxy Note 3. Tried clearing data and cache, no success.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:

[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Lost:
This is my now my favorite launcher. Looks great on my Desire 510.

You have done very well, I am eager to see what else you come up with.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:

[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Lost:
I would say maybe adding the all drawer on the right side, or maybe adding an option for that.
