I'd like to see some sort of screen previews like HelixLauncher or Sense has. IMO, it is the only thing really missing from GDE at this point.

Purchase GDE problem in Market

I am not able to purchase GDE in the market. I get an "invaild credit card" error message. The google checkout credit card info is correct. I am able to make other purchases in the market. Any help?
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
Are you in the US? A lot of US banks refuse international card purchases. It's a massive, huge, collosal, gigantic problem at the very core of the market and google has done precisely nothing about it.

I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to process every transaction locally and then pass the money on to devs worldwide, but google increasingly doesn't give the slightest toss about anything outside their own shores.

The only thing you can really do is try another card.
[G1 Apps and Games] nopoint:
this is terrible!!

Really!!

I've spent a good few hours looking into android home screens, chose GDE as it looked like the most functional, although I was dubious due to the lack of demo/useful screenshots.

I was right to be doubtful, tried for half an hour to get it to be any good at all, and I can't believe this is something you pay for and the only support is a 1500+ comment thread that doesnt seem to have a lot of actual information on it, not even a findable faq, or even a brief explanation of anything in the app....

and GDE just generally painfully clunky and slow.

also unattractive.
[G1 Apps and Games] nakeman:
it's not that bad actually, my experience is fine and worth purchasing. however, the pace for update is slow and now i think ADW is better for this moment; especially the latest beta, it's awesome
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
The forthcoming version of GDE has some big changes. I think you'll change your mind. ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] nakeman:
that's a piece of good news. hope the new release would improve the efficiency and functionality. ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] daltekkie:
Can't find it on the market place

I can't seem to find the actual GDE application on the market place. I find TONS of themes that say they require the GDE application, but I can't find the app itself. What is the best way to search for it?

Contacts button opens Dialer

I'm using 0.3.0.5. I changed the right soft button to be a Contacts button. However, it opens the Dialer. What do I do to fix this?
[G1 Apps and Games] LORD JUNIOR:
Same here!
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
For now it will open the default intent..

We are working hard on the new version which will allow you to add anything you like to the toolbar ;)

Sneak preview added.
[G1 Apps and Games] MisfitsTimmy:
The other options for that button work fine. What is it about that one option? I've tried it as the soft button on both sides with the same result. Is there something I can do on my phone to get it to work? Or what about a beta release of the new version? :-)
[G1 Apps and Games] :
how do you remove the app dock widget?
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
you can drag it by long pressing the far left or far right corner
[G1 Apps and Games] :
Thanks for the help
[G1 Apps and Games] :
On the next update can you make it so we can hide apps?... cause havin the default browsers, and the better keyboard app up is annoyin and it makes for extra scrollin
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
I am indeed working on that.. its something i created in an earlier launcher, but never had any time to implement it. I will make sure it will be in the next release or atleast in an early update.

Another preview
[G1 Apps and Games] alritewhadeva:
Awesome. Can't wait
[G1 Apps and Games] LORD JUNIOR:
wow amazing!!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] MisfitsTimmy:
Is there a config file for the soft buttons? For me, gde would be perfect if I could get that button for the contacts to work.
[G1 Apps and Games] neocheck:
hen should be the new GDE available...will the new version support Android 1.5!?thanks:rolleyes:
[G1 Apps and Games] Hotas:
Yesterday I upgraded from 1.9.7. to 3.0.5.

It seems that at least one widget does not refresh properly anymore. It is Sticky Notes Widget. Any change to a note is only visible after restarting GDE. On Android's standard home screen it updates without any problem.

@all: anyone else having the same issue (with any widget)?

@rogro: Could this be related to the changes in GDE regarding the widget update listener?

Thanks,

Derek.

Hero GDE

I'm having the same problem.

i cannot find the hero gde theme anywhere .

could someone post it here or send me an attachment.

thank you
[G1 Apps and Games] :
Go to the market and type this in as a search "pub:Diceman4" and it should pop up along with a white hero one
[G1 Apps and Games] Hotas:
That helped, thanks. Same old story...:)
[G1 Apps and Games] fahim_k:
works nicely on the nexus one. thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] :
Omg... send out the update I'm goin crazy waitin lol...
[G1 Apps and Games] murdocthc:
Need an update plox! :)
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Update is comming soon ;) I rather not rush to send a lot of people into an update that works half..

A lot has changed so it really needs to be cheched the best we can... and i am still working on implementing the complete icon package support. I hope I will have most stuff done during the weekend, so we can push the eta a bit futher forwards.

PS:

Check the market ( GDE ).

Although it might sound like just another name change I can tell you that isnt all ;)

Hopefully you all like the new website... A lot needs to be done, but I think its a good start.
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
@Wysie indeed the background differs... The normal transition uses the slow offset method, which means when you scroll to another screen it calculates the offset bases on the number of screens so that one background will "fit" on all the screens.

A cube uses a fixed offset to calculate the left and right screen else you would see a very strange repeated option with the right being just a little bit further then the left if you know what i mean. ( instead of the right being one screen more it would be just the offset so it could be that it repeats the left with just 20px or so )

I am working on all the menu settings as we speak so saving the list/grid setting will hopefully be done today.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
rogro82: Good to hear that! Keep the updates coming :P! Oh ya, GDE force-closes with "Live Bookmarks" from the market when i try to add a bookmarks folder, will do a logcat when i can.
[G1 Apps and Games] felikz:
you should offer a lite version, so people can test for longer time the core funcitonality :)
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
@Wysie thanks for letting me know... 0.1.2 is comming up with the issue fixed! Thanks!

@felikz

Maybe later on i will release a lite version... At the moment i have no plans / ideas how and what it will be, but i will consider it.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
rogro82: Wow that's fast. I came into this thread wanting to do the logcat at the same time and you've fixed it! Anyway, the app seems to consume quite a large amount of memory, my phone reboots for no reason a lot more since using it. Still it's pretty good :D. I also seem to get FCs quite randomly, will use log collector in future to update you.
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
@Wysie: Thanks... the update is in the market.

I will look into the memory issue, on my phone it runs around 2.5mb... I will try to push it by installing some more apps etc.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
rogro82: It runs at 2.5Mb for me too, but sometimes it'll just reboot suddenly, and you can feel a drastic slowdown before that happens. I have about 200 apps, and have created a couple of menus (Games, Office, Favourites, System Tools), with 10 to 30 apps in each menu. I did experience the slowdown/reboot even before creating the menus though, so I don't think it has anything to do with it. Thanks rogro :D.
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Can you also see how much memory the original launcher uses? I have been optimizing a lot of parts to use as little memory as possible ( there are still a lot performance tweaks i will have to make ). So it shouldnt be memory related unless there is a leak somewhere... Are you running a custom rom and if so which?

I will try to see if i can find anything.

Did you get the update (0.1.2) from the market?
[G1 Apps and Games] Henchman:
It's the cost of a latte at Starbucks.

Don't be so cheap.
[G1 Apps and Games] felikz:
Not less people think the way I posted before, this yields into the low sell-counts (think something about 1000-5000 in market). If there would be a trial (a real trial) oder core-functionality-lite version, more people could test the App and may buy it. Don't be so silly.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
I've to agree with felikz even though I've paid for the app already, he made a valid suggestion :).

rogro82: I'm unable to see how much the standard launcher uses, will try to find a way to do so (any suggestions?) Secondly, I'm using Advanced Launcher on Amon_RA's 1.6.2 ROM :). I believe it *may* be a leak.
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
I have no memory issues nor reboots here from what I can tell. I wonder if it is the rom you are on more than anything else.
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
Rogro,

I have an issue with moving shortcuts around. Several times I tried to move one and no matter where I placed it it kept dropping itself on top of an existing shortcut. When I tried to delete it it dropped on top of the other too. Also there are old widgets that are not on screen but are still occupying space. You have to search for them and drop them to trash. Also can you make the touch center button do a different function than the hardware menu button? Or have a function that the hardware menu button function as before and open settings. One more issue I have is that Weather Widget donate from time to time brings up its settings. Once set it stays for a few hours. This never happened with the stock launcher. That's it except for themes. :) It would be nice if they worked from stored or downloaded zips on sdcard like weather widget donate.
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
I'm going to agree with my friend here. I was getting frequent random reboots with cm4.1.999, with or without GDE. Have had none since 4.1.9999. My opinion: It has to be the ROM.
[G1 Apps and Games] Henchman:
You have 24 hours to try the app, or un-install it, and et your money back, like every other paid app on the market.
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Can confirm the disappearing widgets problem. If a widget gets uninstalled, while having a space on the desktop, it will show nothing while still occupying the space. You are then forced to delete an invisible widget. Not a huge problem, but a bug, nonetheless.
[G1 Apps and Games] kron2:
I have no memory issues nor reboots here .i am on cm4.2.1 and i have Weather Widget donate with no issues
[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
minor bug, dunno if it's been mentioned, I created a folder and then decided i didn't want it and so deleted it. Now every time GDE loads, the folder reappears, deleting whatever is occupying it's space.

Not tried to recreate this bug so it may be a freak glitch or something :p
[G1 Apps and Games] mgorman:
i don't see an option for the menu button to be stock. i want it to do what it does when it's stock.
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
Me too! :D
[G1 Apps and Games] JM33:
The update looks great, looking forward to it. It seems that the toolbar will have a serious effect on the themes.

Is there any way I can get some info so that I can have my themes ready for the update? Will we be able to theme icons in the new version, or will it just add shortcuts with their stock icons? Anything else theme devs need to be aware of?

Any help would be appreciated. Please send me a PM or my email is on my themes in the market.

Thanks,

Brian

[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
There will be a complete new theme framework, but all older themes will remain working.

If you choose an v1 theme you will get the old toolbar and if you choose a new theme you will get the new toolbar.

At the moment i am working on iconpack support which can be added to a theme and using the new theme chooser you can select to use the icons added to the theme or not.

As soon the theme framework is finished i will put it on the new website and add it to the first post in here.

You will also be able to add your name to the themes, a website link a donation link and a preview image which will be used in the themechooser.

Edit:

Thinking about creating a mailinglist to send out the new theme framework... ok if i put you on it?
[G1 Apps and Games] JM33:
Yes please!

I always want to keep my themes up to date. Glad to hear that the old themes will still work and we will be able to update to work with the new version. Icon support is a big plus. The most common request I get is for adding icons.

Keep up the good work. I will remain patient for the update (sort of) ;)

Hey, have an idea that would be great if it could be added to GDE. I have a Motorola Milestone and like some other phones has a voice dial app. What would be nice is if I have the left button mapped to phone, long pressing it could launch the voice dial app. This could just be assigned to any app really and could be left up to the user.....

[G1 Apps and Games] Rithina:

[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:

[G1 Apps and Games] FormelLMS:
Hey, I like the newest update very much.

But what I can't understand is: Why can't the wallpaper not be centered to the screen?

Or I don't know how! It don't look very well, when you have a text or a nice wallpaper and it is not centered.

Could or would you change this?
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
@Formel:

Give me some time to create a simple drawing how the wallpapers are handled to explain why a wallpaper on a cube can not be centered.

Its hard to explain in words and i think some more people would like to know.
[G1 Apps and Games] gocegoce:
The new version is great :). Can't wait for themes and icon packs.
[G1 Apps and Games] nakeman:
Hi. the latest release is fast, smooth, much better than the previous one.

however, please correct me if it is my bad, the widget "beautiful widget home" doesn't update with time.. it stops when it be installed (just like dead). moreover, the widget "jorte" even dosen't appear after installed (and applied). it acted like a transparent widget on the screen; cannot be seen, but took some space over the screen..:(

sorry for my english. :)

First new style theme is in the market now: "Evolution"

This doesn't include a full icon pack yet but I will add one if people want it. Top priority now is to get a few themes out with the new bar so you've all got some choice. :cool:
[G1 Apps and Games] JM33:
Glass Theme

I ported my Glass theme to the new version. The toolbar is updated for the new scrolling dock. All GDE widgets are now themed, added a few wallpapers, and a basic iconpack. I plan on adding more icons, but most of the stock android apps are included. You can find it in the market.

Theme is designed to match any wallpaper. Hope you all like it, screenshots attached below!
[G1 Apps and Games] MisfitsTimmy:
Another GREAT release! It looks and performs amazingly well! GREAT JOB!

Only one complaint though...

The "contacts" soft-button. It still brings up the Dialer and NOT the Contacts. :(

Is it just something in Android 1.5 or just my Cliq XT?
[G1 Apps and Games] goldenarmZ:
Another new theme up: "Froyo"

As you'd expect, this is a theme inspired by the pre-release shots of Android 2.2 aka Froyo.

No icons with this yet but I will add some at a later date. Also, for now this comes with some of the standard Eclair wallpapers.. If Froyo ships with new ones, I'll add them.
[G1 Apps and Games] brucemcl:
release 0.4 comments

On my phone this release is stable and solid. It seems to be easy on memory as well. Very nice work.

I have one suggestion. The area where the new dock is, is also live for flicking up the app drawer. I would like to see this ability removed. There is a button to the left for opening the app drawer. That should be easy enough to use for anybody.

There are several things that one can do by touching an app in the dock: open it, move it, remove it, and cycle through the apps in the dock. I think that including the ability to flick open the app drawer from the dock makes for too many options, too much complexity.
[G1 Apps and Games] jhankinson:
I went to Helix for a while but I'm back for v4. Great release, I love the new layout with the custom dock and new features. Thanks for continuing to work on GDE, it is the best home app! I look forward to seeing more themes that take advantage of the new layout. Thanks!!
[G1 Apps and Games] SirFenwick:
First theme I have created...

Comes with 200+ icons for your use and I changed the toolbar icons. I plan on changing in more then it is now(basically just icons).

Search for GDE - Boxy Theme or the pub PushingPixels.

Love the newest GDE.

--- Edit ---

I've added three free icon packs as well. Previews below!
[G1 Apps and Games] jackiechan8:
Finally it is possible to make a good looking sense ui theme! Though it probaply would demand one to make transparent icon to the dialer and put that on top of the new bar already themed to show the "phone" text.

I have narrowed a big problem down to GDE. I used GDE 0.4.0.5 and, rather frequently, my Cliq XT would spontaneously reboot(it would have this problem if I rebooted it myself) and stick at the Motorola splash screen. The only way to fix it would be to do a manual factory reset going into the bootloader. I noticed it started that only when I had GDE on it. When I didn't, there was no problem. Please help me out here! I absolutely LOVE using GDE. It is fast!

Contacts Widget

Hi,

I'm new to the GDE launcher and have to say that I love it! The phone is so much faster. I'm running the SenseHERO 2.1 B5.1 ROM and ever since I started using the GDE last night, I've loved it.

Hoping to get some assistance with some minor things.

I'm trying to find an alternative to the HTC Sense contact widget where I had the favourite contact listed. I've noticed that the "People" widget isn't possible to run on GDE as it requires the HTC Sense to run (understandable) and would like to know if there is something equivalent. I even purchased "Beautiful Widgets" to get a few of the widgets from the HTC "settings" such as "Silent" "Plane" (no widget for mobile data tho).

What I'm thinking of doing is downloading an AOSP based ROM as a lot of the screenshots I've seen using GDE is based on the Vanilla style ROM and I may find what I'm looking for.

The Sense Widgets I used the most was the "People", "Bookmarks" (although, just open the browser and I'm good) and "Twitter".

Any assistance, links, advice would sincerely be appreciated.
