New Build!

- It was about time, after postponing my huge new feature it is finally time! I have backported all the Android O exclusive features of Pixel launcher, those include the google implementation of notification badges, new shortcut design, notification preview in the shortcuts view + the new widgets bottom view

- It is also easier to access the app edit settings, they can be found in the shortcuts view now!

- Some stability improvements

- Colors should now be extracted from Live Wallpapers aswell (this will require some testing) (thanks to Yajat for this)

If you get a message that the new version could not be installed this is due to a changing signature, blame Travis for this. Will be fixed in the future!

Thank you :D
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Thank you for this excellent app!

Trying it out on Umidigi Z Pro running 7.1.1 on MTK 6797.

Each reboot or power on will bring up the choice to start with stock launcher 3 or Lawnchair even though Lawnchair has been defined as the default launcher. Anyway I cam work around this?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] baklawa:
Great work!

I nevertheless miss the following :

- Meteo widget like the official Pixel Launcher

- I cannot always use the settings for wide searchbar, if I click on wide searchbar, size increases, but strange behaviour to go back to the small size, probably a bug, I use a Galaxy s7 edge with latest official ROM. I need to trigger the settings several times before it actually works
[Android Apps and Games] magicmaia:
The new version didn't work over the old one, I had to go back to Nova and remove the old

Lawnchair first. And the widget screen has an unreadable color. Wasn't like that in the old version.

Latest build 832 has bug for me where icon added to home screen via browser becomes unresponsive. Reverted back to 828.
[Android Apps and Games] islamtaalab:
I prefer the old method of icon picking, it is way better than the new one, every icon pack had its own dashboard which is organized and has search function which is so important in finding icons, also the new internal icon picker doesn't show all the icons in the icon pack
[Android Apps and Games] zohaibahd:
yes i agree...it was better earlier
[Android Apps and Games] lpen2146:
I'm sure we all prefer the old method but just not stable for a lot of users. Eventually will get there but not yet ready for prime time. This is a compromise to allow some customization without the whole thing crashing and loosing all your data/settings.

[Android Apps and Games] --anx--:
There's still a bug that aesthetically ruins the dock: as you can see on the screen, there's a line just below the dock that isn't "covered" by the effect that dock has (dark, clear or blur)...like the effect isn't completely placed at the very bottom...

I'm on Samsung Galaxy S8 Exynos variant.

I hope I've explained well the issue...and I really hope this will be fixed, especially with blur effect it's a fist in the eye.

Obviously RESPECT to the whole work!
[Android Apps and Games] RSin501:
Yesterday I went back to Nova, because I couldn't hide the dock. Today I can. Wow.

The only remaining thing I really want is selecting icons from gallery or the icon packs' own apps. Then this will be the perfect launcher for me.

I can definitely see it, not happening with mine wonder if just not optimized for s8
[Android Apps and Games] Rami3073:
Hi all! Firstly I just want to say and express that I really love this amazing launcher and I've been using it since its first build! I really like how it's coming together and the level of customisation is just excellent! I'm currently using it as my main home launcher on my galaxy s8. Since the recent firmware update to my phone it can now auto hide the navigation bar soft keys for "immersive mode" across all apps, except it's always present on homescreen using TouchWiz launcher. I really want the navigation bar to be always there under the dock when on my homescreen using Lawn chair, then auto hide when I open an app...much like using TouchWiz. I don't know if this is considered a feature request, but I would love to know a workaround for this! I hope this makes sense.

Great work guys! :)
[Android Apps and Games] --anx--:
You have "transparent dock" enabled...with this option the bug won't happen because there no effect to apply...

You have to disable dock transparency and set "blur" option to see it...
[Android Apps and Games] lpen2146:
Still doesn't show up for me. If it did it would drive me crazy. You should report it on github as a bug. Anyone else with S8 have this?
[Android Apps and Games] --anx--:
Then is surely S8 related...maybe they didn't optimized the whole thing for 18.5/9 aspect ratio ..don't know...

How can I report this bug directly to developers?
[Android Apps and Games] dcscorpio76:
I'm on the latest build 843, but now my status bar is black. Not sure if it's because of my wallpaper but this wasn't an issue before. How do I change it back without disabling dark theme for my app drawer?

My only gripes are that the app shortcuts don't seem to be working (the ones that show up when you hold on an icon), and that there aren't any swipe gestured for icons yet.

Any idea why I have to tap on 'always' use Lanwchair as standard launcher after every reboot?

And all my widgets disappear after rebooting my phone (latest version 844).

Edit: Fixed the problem by myself. I'm using adopted storage and Lawnchair was installed on my sd-card.

After moving it to my internal storage everything is working fine :)

Alright, so discovered the clue.

That bug appears only if the resolution on S8 is set to FHD+.

This is the best widget that's closest to the original pixel pill widget with weather. You have to make a in app purchase to get the weather and a few other options, but its worth it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vizorg.widget.pix

Could it be possible to hide/unhide the dock ?
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Hide dock UI option but it is full time. Rather have a gesture to show/hide live.

Or even full "imersive mode" show/hide dock/navigation/status.

Can Dev please add an option to add a widget shelf page to the left like the oneplus 5?
[Android Apps and Games] Bewildered Wolf:
Yes, all the one plus users want that feature.

So, the app is still in development builds.

So, let it be stable for some time then maybe we could ask for additional features.

Also, why this feature to hmjust OnePlus users, why not to everyone else out there. [MENTION=7049589]deletescape[/MENTION] have a look here brother. :)

[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Would be nice to really know why some launchers eat batteries of some users :)

Lawnchair uses noticeably (but not horribly) more than Arrow but loads of people complain about Arrow.

Wondering if the Google Now pane is what makes the difference? Really no need for both the pane and the pixel icon. Two quick gestures go the the same place. I use the icon on Arrow and the pane on Lawnchair.

Most newer phones have a surplus of RAM. But Arrow and even Scout ran fine on my old LG P500 which was memory starved. Se la vie.
[Android Apps and Games] Pshemo__:
I'm sure that this Android O Style Notifications in icon's menu are taking a lot of RAM so probably they take quite a lot of battery. So it's best to keep it off I think :P Nevertheless it's a superb lawnchair :)
[Android Apps and Games] ANDR01DN00B:
Downloaded and installed the latest 846 version and noticed one thing: when selecting individual icons, some icon variants in some icon packs don't load.

Also one request: it would be awesome to set the blur for the search bar and the dock separately.

Thanks! This project is going along really well!
[Android Apps and Games] RSin501:
It wouldn't hurt to implement a similar icon browser to what Nova and the others have. This is the only thing I'm missing.

[Android Apps and Games] zohaibahd:
naah the best is selecting icons from the icon pack app itself. it was there initially but was removed...i wonder y?...it was better as icons could b typed and searched

[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:

[Android Apps and Games] uudruid74:
Likely doesn't eat a lot of RAM. And using more RAM doesn't battery. RAM is likely eaten by a memory leak or too many graphical effects being cached.

battery use is from inefficient code. CPU eats battery, not RAM
[Android Apps and Games] Pshemo__:
I know, maybe it was a wrong example but I think it was running in the background very intesively
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
The thing is though the way Linux works is free ram is waisted ram. So it gives as much ram away as possible and distributes it as needed. As long as you don't have 30 apps open at once your ram consumption will be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] stefanvanruiten:
It'd be nice if the status bar could remain white on the light theme as well. Now the icons always turn black when swiping up the app drawer. There seems to be a setting for this but that doesn't change this behavior in any way.

When choosing the dark theme the status icons remain white, but it doesn't look as nice. Maybe the dark theme could be applied on a timer after sundown for example?

I dunno if this has been brought up but it would seem the "latest version" download on this thread isn't updated and currently stands on 818 while version 849 is seemingly available. Will this be fixed, since there isn't a way to automatically update the app?
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
818 is the latest stable version.
[Android Apps and Games] OnceAMatrixMan:
Been watching this thread for some time, almost the beginning. It has come so far, nice job devs. Unfortunately I will not be able to use it on my current phone - it will never get root and never get 7.1. But maybe someday, Lawnchair v3.0...
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
Most of the features are in the process of getting back ported to prior 7.1 if you didn't know ;)
[Android Apps and Games] OnceAMatrixMan:
What what what...? I did not know. Thanks Skittles. Wow did I miss that post?
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
Not a post here. On telegram.

Thanks Skittles
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
Almost ready actually xD
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
I love how some ppl wanna debate the fact that this app uses too much ram and battery. Like defending their child or something. Then their ridiculous answer is to disable everything. So basically we can't use any of the features if we want our phone to perform correctly. Great! So its the phones fault and not the app causing all these issues. This app is constantly using over 600mb of ram and takes up 10%+ of battery on every charge. I went back to Launcher3 from Aziz and nothing shows up in battery stats or ram usage in background, this app also has the GN pane enabled so don't tell me its that. The devs need to seriously look into this, hopefully before any other feature projects are started. I refuse to blame these issues on my less than year old Nexus 6P. Never had these problems before this app. But like I said I'm not even using this anymore so what do I care? Good luck to all u with issues, no one wants to believe us.
[Android Apps and Games] jatinkhatri:
This is not an argument ..but see the attachment
[Android Apps and Games] uudruid74:
You are talking to a Linux System Admin that has been using it since before kernel 1.0! Linux will use "free" RAM as disk cache, that's true. However, we are talking about an app that is allocating RAM. Once the app owns it, the kernel can do nothing with it. If an app has a resource leak, those resources are wasted.
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
Ahh. My apologies then.
[Android Apps and Games] shuli81:
I don't know what others are experiencing but I have been using this for the past 10 days and never had the issues u speak of. RAM usage is usually around 150mb and next to nothing battery.

Not saying there can't be anything causing it to become so resource heavy for some people but it's definitely not what most of us are experiencing.

So, I don't think anyone is defending any possible flaw, but more just speaking from their experience. Your post however sounds like you're annoyed that it's not working for you.

Instead of coming here to complain maybe u should submit a bug report on GitHub or even better fix it yourself and contribute instead acting all entitled.
[Android Apps and Games] dcscorpio76:
I noticed that when I turned off the notification listener in running services that dropped the ram usage well below 50. It was previously at around 210-250. Check the screenshot:

Nevermind just reread post where states "running services" just wondering if it's related to notification bubbles/dots and if disabling from launcher settings does same or if it continues to run in background? Not huge deal as 75 memory usage is not bad.
