This has piqued my interest. I enjoy Google Now's interface but it lacks a ridiculous amount of customizability. Generally I have xposed, and xgels installed to cope with that deficiency, however this looks like a nice replacement. One question. I enjoy the Google Search app function of swiping to the left....Since you have the dynamic city headers, is the any way to bring a new functionality to those headers, where if, an "on tap" function was added an animated slide down and slide up retraction upon a second tap, of the Google Now cards interface would appear?
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
to the OP

can you please edit the thread title and put the latest release date/version in the title at the end?

i.e.

[Launcher][4.1+] Solid Launcher (Material design, Cards ...) [v0.9b - 06-10-2015]

that way we could track new versions of the app before we open the thread...

thanks in advance...
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I think it's an issue with your play store or android Rom.

This option was available in older versions, I removed it since I do not use android framework navigation drawer anymore, I rather write mine and this option would involve a lot of code. I didn't think about this option when I was writing the reveal navdrawer because I thought this option wasn't really used. I'll see if I will implement this.

I didn't understand exactly what you mean, you want to open Google now app when clicking on header background ? But there is already widgets that intercept clicks right there.
[Android Apps and Games] CKH4:
If I understand him correctly he wants google search integration in the header. One tap for a floating search bar, two taps to open Google now.
[Android Apps and Games] Sc4ryB3ar:
Or something like it, doesn't have to behave that way exactly.
[Android Apps and Games] iaditya91:
great work..this launcher is awesome....:)
[Android Apps and Games] salimtn:
Dev just dont forget my request about navigation bar ?
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
is there a way to change the italic/bold title below the icons? it's kinda ugly...
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
New update dropped, I worked almost a week on it :angel:

I cannot change screenshots on the playstore this week , they are outdated, but I released update anyway for everybody waiting on it !

Here is the new features:

1.6.0:

-Redesigned app drawer's grid/list to material design

-Added new icon customization (font, color ...)

-Google search bar available

-Added customizable horizontal and vertical margins

-Changed default color

-New search bar in drawer, typed text is now highlited in each app's label

-Stability improvements when reloading data (when coming back from an app, when a new app is installed ...)

-Bug fixes (Such as no more grid items when rotating device, and many other ...)

Google search bar added under widget section of settings screen !

It will not be available for this update

Implemented in 1.6.0 !
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
tried to install but playstore gives me 1.5.9. version... i guess 1.6.0 is not active yet

edit:

everything ok now... i had to clear the cache of the playstore app...

looking good - almost perfect... thanks for the update

some more suggestions:

- a little more space between the icon label and the icon (they're too close)

- margin selection with a preview if possible (like you have it for the icon/label size)

- fully transparent status bar & navigation buttons (now it's semi transparent)

- adding an activity option under "add shortcut"

- infinite scroll on the homescreen - i.e. if i have 3 pages of icons, and the middle one is my main page - when i scroll left to page 1, and then scroll left again - to get to the 3rd page

- settings backup/restore option (i remembered that while i was writing the "edit part" below)

edit:

- app froze (unfortunately Solid Launcher has stopped) on changing the theme to "header dominant color" (while i dont have a header/widget background at all) - reboot didn't help, now i have to find a way to get back to my stock launcher...
[Android Apps and Games] salimtn:
Oops , bad news

May be next update [emoji4]
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks a lot for feedback ! I have noted it for next update, for now just clear solid launcher app data.
[Android Apps and Games] conan1231:
great work

awesomeeee
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
the problem is that i couldn't clear the data nor uninstall it because the launcher had administrative option turned on (because of double-tap to lock the device)

the error message wouldn't dissapear so i couldn't click on any icon on homescreen or in drawer...

i had to find a workaround just to open the playstore and install nova again - and i managed to do it somwhow using accesibility onscreen button... (because the only thing i could do is to open the settings from pulldown menu of my device and then turn on the accesibility onscreen button which lets me open the browser by writing W - for web on screen)

if someone else gets the same error - try the above...

waiting for the new release...
[Android Apps and Games] CKH4:
Works after reinstall on Galaxy note 3. When you search the app drawer and try to add an app it adds the wrong icon. It adds the app the same number away from the beginning as the sorted.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Download adb executable on your computer, turn developer option on on your device, connect it to your computer. Then open terminal on your computer (windows+r and type "cmd", crtl+maj+r linux) then type:

" cd /path/to/adb/executable"

"adb install /path/to/nova/apk"

'/' are '\' if you are running windows

It will be fixed in next update, thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] CKH4:
Thanks. Also could you add a setting to change the shadows on the home screen pages and dock? Also maybe an option to use a wallpaper that doesn't change the system wallpaper? Sorry but also maybe a transparent header option?
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
i resolved it already - as described ;) and it was much simpler than the adb way...

if i wasn't too lazy - i'd manually copy the launcher files via twrp to system folder... or just restore a backup from otg stick... thanks anyway :good:
[Android Apps and Games] XenopuS.IT:
Great work!! I'm Giovanni to Italy (premium user)

bug: In the last relase if I search in the app drawer it launch the wrong app but the app before.

In the future add more gestures and gestures on the icons!!

Thanx
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
This bug has already been reported and will be fixed in next release thanks !

If you talk about swipe left or right for grids, it is not possible because solid cannot know if you want to scroll page or if you want to perform a gesture. Gesture on icons are not planned but it can be an interesting idea.

Anyway thanks for supporting solid, it motivates me to spend time to make a descent launcher !
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
nice to hear that... i'll always support the indenpendant developers that try to make things better...

btw what is the average ram usage of this launcher? i tried to track it, but it doesn't show under "running apps" in settings...
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Ram usage mostly depends on how many apps you have installed because this is mostly icons that takes ram. On my devices there is about 50 apps in drawer and apps in home grids and in normal usage its about 15-20 mo. But for example if you launch icon chooser activity (screen where you select an icon from icons available in installed icon packs) ram usage grow to 30mo because there is a lot of icons on screen, but when you exit this screen, ram go back to normal usage.

I deeply investigate it on earlier release because there was memory management issues. These memory values are from debugging tools so there are "real" memory values, android can display higher values because it takes all runtime environment memory (dalvik or art) but these extra values are not controllable by applications.
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
thanks for the nice explanation...

everything below 50mb is fine with me
[Android Apps and Games] salimtn:
Whats special about this launcher is its unique style

Other launchers has same boring features, same ui

Thats why i cant wait to use it ?
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Thanks, I'm happy you understand and enjoy this launcher "philosophy". Don't hesitate to send me feedback and recommendations.

Also screenshot helps me a lot, it allows me to know how you use solid and how you organize your home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Andrey_tr:
Very cool. Great job.
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
i've tried the launcher on my old LG optimus 2x (p990) and this is what i'm getting (see screenshots)

it's an 480x800 screen device currently running cm11 (4.4.4) rom...

while the dock and widget area is ok, middle part is screwed (3 rows/4 column setting)
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I think you've mist the tutorial at first launch ! In fact there is a handle between widget area and grids area, if you long press just between these areas you will be able with your finger to resize grids area.
[Android Apps and Games] GoldLemon:
Interesting launcher

[Android Apps and Games] sunsero:
Please help! Either I'm doing something wrong or Solid Launcher does not work on my device. I can add folders, shortcuts and widgets but I can't find out how to add apps to the desktop. I

even can't figure out how to open the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
You just have to swipe from the left edge of the screen to open the drawer, then just longpress an app to drag it where you want. Also you can add gesture to grids or dock (such as double tap ...) to open drawer with a simple gesture.

Are you running lollipop ?
[Android Apps and Games] sunsero:
Thanks, this actually worked. :) I really wonder when I missed the hint. Swiping for the app drawer actually is a nice concept but not obvious, would have helped e.g. if it had been in the app description (hopefully I didn't miss it there ;) )

The tablet runs on KitKat.
[Android Apps and Games] sunsero:
Just starting to give this a try now over another well-known launcher. There I've got a shortcut to Llama. This shortcut opens the Play Store but there directly opens My Apps using an intent. I could do this with Solid Launcher as well but here the shortcut icon is from Llama while I'd like to change it to the Play Store icon. Is this possible? Using the Edit function just tells me there's no icon pack installed.
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
disregard... someone was quicker :)
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
So if i correctly understand, you have a shortcut to llama that will start what you want, and here it will launch play store ?

To apply a custom icon, drag the item on the extra area and select edit. You will have access to all icon available in each icon pack. If solid tells you that you need to install icon pack, this is because your icon pack doesn't provide custom icons or is not compatible with apex.

Or I didn't understand well and all you want to do is to replace llama's icon with icon of an installed app, which is Playstore here. This is actually not possible. I've never think about that as long as you can download small icon packs that contains base aosp icons.

Did I completely missed what you mean or is it this ?

Also to everybody, I just updated playsotre description, I write a kind of summary of everything you need to know, so take a quick look :)
[Android Apps and Games] sunsero:
Yes, actually I'd wanted to use the Play Store icon for the llama shortcut which I use to open the Play Store but skips the start screen. I'm not so interested in icon packs.

Thanks for updating solid's description :)
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Ok, I'll see what can I do in next update
[Android Apps and Games] sunsero:
Thanks!

One more question: Is it possible to have some widgets permanently expanded and also to scale them?
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
If you talk about adding widgets in grids, see :

Resizing is relevant, it's a good idea, I'll try to add it in next release
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I am still working on Solid, I didn't post updates for a month because I am writing a big big update, launcher will take a new turn. In fact, instead of having widgets only on top and matching the top size, they will be able to be added in grids, and top area will be replaced with paged grids. So apps and shortcuts will be able to be added in top grids too.

This implies a big amount of code to write/rewrite, I try to make it as quick as possible but its long ...

I'll post here when new version will be ready. Thanks to all who supports Solid ! [emoji41]
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
After 3 month of work, Solid 2.0 is out ! I am very excited to release 2.0 version :)

A lot lot of things have been done, Solid took a new turn. Try the new Solid Launcher and you will see !!!

Solid has been totally rewritten to make it more accessible, efficient and suitable.

-Replaced paged widgets to a full featured panel grid. It acts like a regular Dock, but it is more powerful as long as it can contains multiple rows and appwidgets.

-Fully redesigned settings

-Redesigned most of screens (widget and shortcut choosers, and more ..)

-New page animations

-New tutorial

-Appwidgets can now be placed in grids

-Improved load time with multi-core devices

-Improved drawer layout

-Dashboard widget adapts its content depending on its size

-Added animations on multiple UI elements

-Redesigned main design

-A lot lot lot lot of fixes and improvements !
[Android Apps and Games] CKH4:
Yay I can't wait to try it out!!!
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
nice....

btw where did the dock dissapear?
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
As long as header panel can now contain applications, it acts like an advanced dock. A dock would be redundant !

[MENTION=4669109]PdroidAndroid[/MENTION]:

how can I change the size of a widget, move it or even delete it? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
You just have to long click it. To delete it drag it to the delete cross, like for app icons
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Exactly this is the problem. I am not able to get any long-click action and can't drag it :( Would a log file be helpful in this case?
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
Try to long click on a non empty area without moving your finger. If you move in any direction long click is aborted to avoid conflicts with other movement detection systems. It is a common thing on any android launcher because appwidget is a very specific component as long as it is only hosted by launcher, their contents aren't controlled by launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
The problem still persists. I am neither able to get Solid Launcher to show any long-press menu nor select any widget to move it around (in top page as well as in bottom page). Even long-pressing a widget for more than ten seconds does nothing. Beside this issue, the latest update is plain awesome :good:
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
This is weird, how did you add the widget if you cannot pop the floating menu to add folder, shortcuts and widgets ?

Are you sure the desktop isn't locked ?

Thanks, I put a lot of my time in it !
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
No, the desktop isn't locked. I can add widgets and shortcuts by long-pressing any empty grid space, but after placing the widget, I can't move it or long-press it. Just clicking the widget to open it works without any issue. Also, clearing the widgets from within the menu doesn't work either. I have to delete cache/data for Solid Launcer.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
And this is the same issue for any other grid item ? What device and android version are you running ?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Icons can be moved by long-pressing them, only widgets have this issue. I have a OnePlus X, running Resurrection Remix (Android 5.1.1).
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
OK, send me a logcat. I think it's a rom specific bug. I'll try on a 5.1.1 device.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Here you go. View attachment 2016-01-14-09-54-13.zip
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
I'll take a look, just to be sure did you try with different appwidgets ?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Yes, tried your own weather/clock widget as well as Chronus and GoneMAD and Today Calendar widget - all the same behaviour.
[Android Apps and Games] saxmydix:
Hi, just some idea. Can you add flick on icon to open pop up widget, just like blackberry launcher. Thats would be a great feature. Nice work so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Something similar has been present in the version <2.0. Users were able to add a widget (shown as app icon) to the lower page, clicking it opened a popup version of the corresponding widget. Maybe it is possible to integrate this feature into the current version, but for icons instead of widget icons.
[Android Apps and Games] PdroidAndroid:
[MENTION=4292360]saxmydix[/MENTION]

Right, this feature will be re added but with app icon swipe, as you say no more with widget icon but with applications icon. It involve a lot of code, so it is not ready yet.

[MENTION=5901790]orville87[/MENTION]

I tried long press on 5.1 device, it worked like a charm. I don't understand why it doesn't works for you, it is some really universal and basic code, it's the same for all aosp based launchers (just to say it comes from aosp launcher's LauncherAppwidgetHostView.java which allows us to watch for long clicks in onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent), this is the only way to do that). If you have the opportunity to try on another ROM, tell me if it works.

Noticed my Moto x was feeling kind if laggy all day so I went to wipe the cache. After about 15 minutes of sitting there with "wiping cache" on the screen with the little bars animating I finally reset it with the power button. I've never had it take this long before.

Now if I go back in and try it again it doesn't even say "wiping cache" it just had the Android guy and the little animated bars, and it never progresses.

Any ideas? Phone is still kind of laggy.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameroncr95:
I am using the device ONLY as a gaming device and have no plans to activate it through Verizon, however, everytime I turn it on, it asks me to activate on the network. I can simply close this and avoid it, but I would prefer to remove this entirely if possible. I tried to root the phone but no matter what rooting tool I use, it fails. Every time.

Can I please get some help? I am more of a Windows Phone person so I don't know much about Android rooting and modding.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spizzy01:
If I recall correctly, the Verizon versions of the R800 (Might be the R800x) are somewhat locked down so I doubt you can do much at all 'easily' to be honest.

At the very least, without ROOT access you'll be unable to write to the SYSTEM partition which is what you will likely need to get access to in order to remove the activation message - it'll likely be an application that simply needs deleting. You can definitely get ROOT access on the R800x's though, I think it requires flashing different firmware using flashtool.

I would however stress to not let this particular device put a 'downer' on Android devices for you as a whole - there are only a small few devices locked down like this and the rest of the R800's aren't as restricted. You need an R800i lol.
