[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Those are great news :) Please, take all the time you need, this is just plain awesome.

I have no clue, why it doesn't work for me. I would say its a general issue, but selecting/moving app icons as well as folders work flawlessly :eek: Even a complete uninstall of the app, followed by a full reboot and clean install does not solve this issue.

Did you find anything strange in my logs?
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Just dropped 2.1 !

News are:

-Backup and restore

-Redesigned drawer header bar

-Fixed edit icon

-Designe fixes

[MENTION=5901790]orville87[/MENTION]

Nope sorry, it must be a rom bug ..
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
No problem. Strange thing: I changed ROM and Android version, still the issue persist. Seems that your launcher doesn't like my phone :p
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Maybe I found something, I send you a pm with a test app.
[Android Apps and Games] dev>null:
Great launcher. I like the usability and design....and the memory footprint is the smaller I've ever seen ! Great job.

The only feature I'm really missing is hiding apps ;)
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks ! Don't hesitate to rate Solid on play store it helps me a lot !

You can choose hidden apps in drawer settings !
[Android Apps and Games] dev>null:
OMG! Totally overlooked it...sorry :D

Then it's PERFECT! I will rate it and consider a donation or buying prime :good:
[Android Apps and Games] djtinxo:
Love it, but can't add the Google search bar...
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks, in fact there is no default search bar, you have to install Google Now (pre installed on 99% of android devices) and add the search bar appwidget.

[MENTION=5160773]dev>null[/MENTION]

Thanks, appreciate you enjoy my work :)
[Android Apps and Games] djtinxo:
Yeah, that's exactly what I mean... I already have it installed but it shows me an error message when trying to add the widget
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
This weird ... I'll see what can I do. Is it working with other launchers ? Is it a random bug or you can't add it at all ? And after a reboot ?

2.2 released !! [emoji41]

Main new feature is fling widgets ([MENTION=4292360]saxmydix[/MENTION]), also new auto tinted item badges and various improvements !
[Android Apps and Games] saxmydix:
Thanks man, thats a great feature. Like it a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
You're welcome, don't forget to rate solid on play store, it helps a lot ! Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
Crashes on launch still but this is something to do with widget implementation on my fire phone.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Can you explain more precisely ? I didn't understand your problem
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
My phone has a problem with widget implementation. Seems to like it when 'legacy' implementation is an option. Funnily enough it has exactly the same issue with infinity launcher which reminds me a lot of solid launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
If the issue comes from your phone, I cannot do anything ! Also I didn't know this launcher, I think it is not the same purpose, this launcher is a kind of app that acts like a launcher, solid is more advanced and is more a real launcher. But it seems to be an innovative launcher so this is a good thing !
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Update with dynamically tinted backgrounds will come soon :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] HalFBlooDPrincE:
Thanks...

It is very attractive and awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
[MENTION=7251787]Mr.Droider[/MENTION] thanks !

I also added translation project for those who want to help !

[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
Tried Solid Launcher again, and it works a lot better as before (new phone).

Some suggestions:

More folder options? (open animation, color, etc.)

I like the solid launcher widget but I would like to see other weather icons

Fast scrolling in drawer

When adding some widgets I get the error message "cannot create widget". Does this mean there is too little space on the current screen?
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks !

Folder's background color will be customizable in next release !

New weather icons will be added in next release too, and current icons will be still available in solid extras.

Cannot create widget message is shown when there was an issue when creating widget, if it's just a matter of space, not enougth space message is shown.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I'm still working on it ! Next release will be there in few days.

To come:

-New advanced theme settings (smart backgrounds, new cards ...)

-New weather icons

-New extra action drop area

-Smart popup background (adapts to its icon container)

-New concurrent loading system (loads 10x faster)

-Panel can now be shown at top or at bottom of the screen

-A lot lot of small improvements
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Is there anybody intersted in trying 2.3 release ? Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Leah_:
I want to try please :)
[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
Always willing to test.:)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Me too...
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
2.3 version released !! I was working on it for almost two month and now here it is !

Please give me your feedbacks :D

News :

•Loading pages in parallel (loads 7x faster)

•Advanced theme settings (smart backgrounds, new cards ...)

•Panel can now be shown at the top or the bottom of the screen

•New weather icons and new weather provider options

•Redesigned extra actions drop area

•Smart popup background (adapts to its icon container)

•A lot lot of improvements
[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
Still receiving the "cannot create widget" error when adding dashboard widget.
[Android Apps and Games] dmytro.wng:
Good app, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Leah_:
Where is the link to download it? I can't see it :(
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
You just have to download it from the play store, there is link in op, or search for Solid Launcher on play store.
[Android Apps and Games] Turki Alkhateeb:
I've downloaded it and it seems really nice and "different" but the thing that I didn't like is the icon, if you want to succeed then your icon should be more attractive than this. Icons should attract normal users who know nothing about the app.

Best wishes!
[Android Apps and Games] Leah_:
Thank you.

I install it but I have the same problem again, it's stops all the time and I don't know why :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] :
Same here. Crashes immediately after startup on my Moto G 2015 with Android 6.0 (Stock)...
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Did you wipe Solid Launcher's cache (and maybe data)?
[Android Apps and Games] Leah_:
I do this but it doesn't work :(
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Hm I forget to debug it on a lollipop device ... I will test asap but this week unfortunately it won't be possible. I saw the bug report on play store it's a small bug when loading pages ..
[Android Apps and Games] Leah_:
Something new? :(
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
This bug should be fixed in next release. I finally found what goes wrong, it is an issue in android framework that has been reported to google but ignored by android dev team ... But i found a workaround :)

Thanks for your advices, I do all things myself and I have no professional skills in graphics, but I'm trying to do the best I can. I did it on gimp and was pretty happy with the result. I agree with you but I cannot really do better. If you want to help you are welcomed !

[MENTION=7368867]Leah_[/MENTION] [MENTION=2943498]edisso10018[/MENTION]

It works for me in lolipop and marshmallow emulators. I fixed some bugs that can be related to your issues, you'll test this in next release.

I've added a bug reporter in next release that gives me some info when solid crashes. It will help me a lot lot to fix bugs. In fact before I didn't have any advices on bugs, but know I got all infos needed and I'll be able to fix bugs efficiently.

Thanks to all of you for your involvement :)

2.4 will come as soon as possible !
[Android Apps and Games] Leah_:
Thank you so much for all your work :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Any news on the new release?
[Android Apps and Games] rippedwarrior69:
This launcher look good. Please add hide clock on home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] EmmaMiller2016:
thanks for shring

good work, I will have a try later. keep it up
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I was unable to work on solid the last two weeks, but im working on it since the beginning of this week, the release will be ready durimg the weekend !

If you talk about the feature present in nova launcher, nobody know how they do !
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
2.4 release just dropped, cannot wait to have your feedbacks !

I've added a debugger tool to Solid that sends me through an email a complete report each time Solid crashes ! Debug will be a lot easier and I'll be able to improve Solid really faster !

Here is the changelog:

2.4:

•Fixed "Cannot add widget" error

•Added default applications when first launching Solid

•Added auto page swipe when dragging an item on screen's edges

•Fixed numbers wheel in settings

•Fixed color selection in settings

•Fixed extra drop area for device with navbar

•Improved tutorial

•Bug fixes

(I'm not sure, but a bug can remains: when comming back to Solid, sometimes grids and hotseat are empty :( , but this issue appends randomly so I cannot find anything on it ...)
[Android Apps and Games] Leah_:
Finally it's working perfectly, thank you so much for your work and for listen :)

Only one question, I have the pro version but when I select "restore purchase" option it says me that I don't have the pro version and I don't know why >_<

[IMG="Solid Prime Key"]http://imageshack.com/a/img924/1672/Ry3eay.jpg[/IMG]
[Android Apps and Games] rippedwarrior69:
Is there a way to make the slide from left or right where you don't have to be all the way on the edge of the screen before the app drawer will open?
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks to new bug report system, I've fixed some big crashes !

So I just dropped 2.5, here is the changelog :

2.5:

•Fixed in-app purchase crash

•Fixed apps/shortcut gesture crash

•Fixed Dashboard widget forecast crash

•Fixed crash when downloading weather cities pack

•Fixed crash when attempting to change hotseat background

•Fixed default page bug

•Other crashes fix
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I'm investigating this

Yes, you can set gestures. For example set "Doulbe tap" gesture for grids with "open drawer" action
[Android Apps and Games] Leah_:
I installed 2.5 version and the problem with the pro version is fixed. Thank you so much :)
[Android Apps and Games] Modder 123:
Awesome awesome awesome!!!!

It works like magic and the moment u see it u fall in love with it (and make it your default launcher!!).

It is really beautiful and fast at the same time.

but i would like to see a dedicated time widget included and customizable!....other than its awesome!!

also pls do something about the screen margins while placing widgets!
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thank you, I appreciate ! Are you talking about modifying each widget's margin ?
[Android Apps and Games] rippedwarrior69:
I mean when you slide from right the app draw does not open. You have to start from the very edge of phone screen then app drawer will open. I like to just swipe from anywhere on the right or left to open app drawer. Thanks for the quick response.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Unfortunately, it is not possible to do. In fact solid could not determine if user wants to open drawer or if he wants to change page.
[Android Apps and Games] rippedwarrior69:
I understand. But I only use one page. I don't like app on home screen if I have a app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I just pushed 2.6 release, it consists in important crash fixes ..

2.6:

•Fixed empty grids bug

•Fixed crash with some icon packs

•Fixed crash when opening detail theme screen

•Fixed crash when an application has an empty name (yes, it exists ..)

•Fixed other random crashes

•Redesigned "Open source" and "Change log" popups
[Android Apps and Games] :
Iconpacks are only applied if I restart the launcher. Is this a bug or intentional? (Moto G 2015 6.0 Stock)

The same goes for hidden apps. They are only hidden if I restart the launcher.

Otherwise it's a very good launcher. Thanks!

BTW: The dashboard widget barely works (Cannot switch to Yahoo, the window that opens if you tap on the weather is a complete mess)
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
To everybody, you should see home disappearing sometimes since 2.6. Sorry for that, the issue is already fixed, but I have to test 2.7 version before release it. In fact I totally rewrote loading mechanism and implemented elements provided by android framework so it should be more stable !

Thanks for your feedback !

No it's not intentional.. I just fixed the issue for hidden apps 2 mins ago, I forgot two lines of code ?. But for icon packs it should works.

Could you post a screenshot of the weather forecast window please.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I finally finished 2.7 version ! Some big changes have been done in terms of loading data and in terms of bug fixes. I also wrote my own library for the tutorial, instead of using external one, and the result is very nice ! Take a look by pressing "Relaunch tutorial" in General settings.

Here is the news:

•Fixed empty grids bug

•Fixed crash with some icon packs

•Fixed crash when opening detail theme screen

•Fixed crash when an application has an empty name (yes, it exists ..)

•Fixed other random crashes

•Redesigned "Open source" and "Change log" popups

I think Solid is beginning to be more and more stable, thanks you all for your feedbacks
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I just released 2.7*, sorry to spam your devices :cool: but I probably will not have time to do this next week, so I just posted a quick fix 2.7* release.

It fixed all bugs of 2.7 version.

2.7*:

•Fixed crash when changing grids count

•Fixed crash when quickly clicking Prime button

•Fixed crash when re-opening hidden applications screen

•Fixed crash when re-opening gesture chooser screen

•Improved load time of hidden applications screen and gesture chooser screen

•Fixed crash when some applications have an icon not defined by a png files
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks for the updates!

Applying an icon pack still requires a restart of the launcher though. Hide applications now works without a restart.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Oh well .. I don't understand, There is no reason for Solid to do not reload all icons when you apply a new icon pack. It works perfectly on all my devices and emulators. Can you give me details about your device pls.

Furthermore, if you want to help to translate Solid in deutsch, you can give a help here: https://www.getlocalization.com/SolidLauncher/
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I found what goes wrong ! In fact, depending on what you modify in settings, when you exit settings, settings screen tells to home screen what changed and what to reload. When exiting settings by pressing home button, this communication is interrupted. If you exit settings by pressing back button, you will see that it works nicely.

I fixed this bug by rewriting this communication system, it will be in the next release. I wait a little bit to test it and make sure it works well :D

Thanks for your help !
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
2.7.1 released, [MENTION=2943498]edisso10018[/MENTION] it should works now !

News:

•Fixed backup issue for Marshmallow devices

•Fixed settings not applying when returning from settings screen with home button
[Android Apps and Games] Joolz03:
Made the purchase for prime to support developer. But the swipe gestures are not working. Very disappointed. Please refund.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
double post sorry
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I am back with a new update ! Solid Launcher 3.0 is out ! It's the result of multiple month of developement and improvements ! Hope you will enjoy it !

Link to Playstore​

Take a look at screenshots on OP:

News:

•Redesigned Solid's behavior and global design (Drawer is now "juxtaposed" to Grids and Panel)

•Added a lot of color variants

•Added search bar in drawer

•Re-organized Solid's settings

•New design for the drag&drop extras bar

•Removed Google card style feature

•Removed panel custom wallpaper feature

•Fixed bug causing grids to sometimes not loading

•Fixed issue when restoring a backup

•Fixed broken weather for DashBoard widget

•Big improvement in stability

•Lot of minor bug and design fixes
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I don't understand exactly what you mean, just change app shortcut icon with one of the gallery ?

I had think about custom icons for applications when developping Solid, but i didn't want to go for that now, maybe in future update

Thanks a lot for your feedback, it's really encouraging, if you want, you can consider getting prime to support my work ;)
[Android Apps and Games] insann:
Yes exactly that. I will for sure upgrade for prime :) with or without that feature
[Android Apps and Games] ScarletBrazil:
Probably the best launcher r I've ever used .
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks for your support !
[Android Apps and Games] zog222:
[MENTION=4669109]PdroidAndroid[/MENTION] Very beautiful launcher, but in 4.2.2 stock rom I was get prime and do backup via titanium.

After restoring in lollipop I have crash solid launcher. Work only after wiping app stats.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Are you connected to your google account ? Solid launcher retrieve your purchase and check if you have buy prime key in the past.

What do you mean in app

stats

? Is it working now ?
[Android Apps and Games] zog222:
I mean clean data and cache. After wiping working.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
So it crashes only when you start app with titanium's restored data ? Excuse me but I don't understand if your problem is solved or not
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I just got into gesture, it is more complicated than I thought. In fact if i add gestures, the two sliding views become verry buggy, i'll look in depth later.

I just release an update, i have added wallpaper scroll and fixed minor bugs !
[Android Apps and Games] jazzespresso:
Double tab to sleep..?
[Android Apps and Games] zog222:
It crashes only when you start app with titanium's restored data.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Here it is, actions will come later

I finally got gesture working, damn it was such a fight with android touch system ! :cowboy:

Just posted an update (1.4.5).

They are available only in app grids. It supports : swipe up, swipe down and double tap.

You can configure an app to launch for now, actions will come later.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Added actions and shortcuts for gesture. In this nice expandable list !
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
Nice launcher. Bought Prime version. Some things I noticed and wish list:

Hide apps in app drawer

Transparent notification bar and soft keys bar

Remove the Add Widget text when not using a widget

Top Panel clock only displays Military time

Top Panel custom Information

Auto location updates via GPS/Data

Custom App Icons in app drawer with icon packs

Columns and rows chooser for Top Panel so widgets can fit closer to top or bottom of Top Panel
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks a lot for your support, very encouraging :)

Hide apps in app drawer

Planned for next updates.

Transparent notification bar and soft keys bar

If your are kit Kat or higher, it's already available.

Remove the Add Widget text when not using a widget.

It's a good idea, added to my to do list !

Top Panel clock only displays Military time

What is military time ?

Top Panel custom Information

Choose what to show ?

Auto location updates via GPS/Data

Already in the to do list, will probably be done.

Custom App Icons in app drawer with icon packs

Icon packs also apply to drawer.

Columns and rows chooser for Top Panel so widgets can fit closer to top or bottom of Top Panel

What do you mean, there is no columns and rows, widget margins are set by the widget itself since HoneyComb.
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
I cannot find option for transparent notification bar or soft keys bar.

Military time is when it says 13:00pm instead of 1:00pm. Google it.

Top panel custom info, hide or show certain info like sunrise/sunset, location, etc. Widget seems too cluttered.

Custom Icons do work. But once u set the icons u can't pick a new one. For example there are like 100 different camera Icons on some packs, I would like to change the icon in the drawer then drag and drop to the desktop so both the drawer and desktop match. Apex and Nova both have this feature.

Widgets in top panel are set right in the middle of the panel. For example if I use a 4x1 widget there is space above and below it. I would like to be able to move the widget up or down a row so it can be displayed at the very top of the panel.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
If you are higher than Kitkat your status is translucent, it's not an option.

I just look into widget gravity, as you asked. In fact, it's not possible because appwidget doesn't set its size itself, its container (launcher) do that. Let it set its size will make some widget look really ugly, and make them unusable.

I just posted an update :

- Hidden applications, as everybody asked

-Home page load faster

- Really big memory improvement
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
Cool man. It's not fully transparent, I'm looking for completely clear. Whatever. The soft keys bother me more than anything. I'm on Lollipop

As far as the widgets go I'm not asking about resizing them more of moving them around in the top panel. I would like my 4x1 widget to be all the way on top so it doesn't block the included Google Now wallpaper provided in ur extras app.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I did understand what you wanted. But putting widget all the way on top imply that widget have to size itself. Widget are not in a grid here but in a space where they take all the place available. It's kind of complicated to explain as it's an android layout limitation.
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
Cool. Awesome app regardless.
[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
Some things I noticed:

-Crash at every boot

-No autorefresh when installing new app?

-Installed widget, deleted it through its app --> Crash, resolved it by "deleting data" of Solid Launcher

So far I really like it. As a suggestion you could add the possibility to add 2 widgets on 1 screen? (If you want to combine smaller ones)
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Posted 1.4.8:

New folder settings

Reorder widgets

Reworked design
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
What android version are u running ? I don't have this bug on my devices.

Autorefresh should work, I'll look into this.

Which app allows you to delete appwidget from app itself and not launcher, issue can be fixed easily, but I didn't expect this possibility !

Thanks for your feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] PowerPlop:
Running android 4.1.2 on Acer S500. I do not have the problem with other launchers, but if Solid Launcher is selected as default, it will crash at boot.

Powertoggles allows you to delete it inside the app. I have to admit that it's the first time I saw such an option.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Widgets issue will be fixed as soon as possible.

For boot crash I'll take a look.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Don't hesitate to rate it on playstore, it helps a lot !
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Does anybody notice that header background do not change anymore depending on current day hour ?
[Android Apps and Games] charlatan01:
Very cool launcher... subscribed and purchased!

Come to think of it, would it be possible to allow for resize of the Top and bottom portions?
