That's definitely good news! I am looking forward to your update.
[G1 Apps and Games] xmnj:
Yes, that's how I get it to update properly, I open another menu first then go back into Applications.

Not sure if it's just the Hero theme that is doing this, I'm going to try another theme and see what happens.

***I just tried with the default theme and the same thing happens where I will download a new app and it will not show up in the application menu until I go into settings All Applications.
[G1 Apps and Games] jay652:
Oh okay, great. Will this new update provide more stability/performance fixes or more features and enhancements? As much as the former is appreciated, the latter is definitely eagerly anticipated.
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Besides lowering the delay time for autoscroll, next update will probably focus on stability issues. Hopefully subsequent updates will get us more features. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] xmnj:
Would it be possible to add an option for the notification bar on top to be hidden and only come out when there is a a notification?

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] eminembdg:
I believe that part of the coding is part of the core and cannot be changed unless you are rooted. I might be wrong, but I know you can't change the color of it unless you are rooted.
[G1 Apps and Games] Hareball:
Is anyone else having an issue with this where the Applications list within GDE is displaying each application twice?
[G1 Apps and Games] eghoti1:
ok so I wanted extra homescreens and the ability to keep my stock background. OpenHome and the others didn't really seem appealing, I have to say this Home replacement is very impressive and quite fast. I love the bottom toolbar, thanks for all the hard work.
[G1 Apps and Games] cody_04l:
My MixedUp Theme

First off I'd like to say thank you to the dev's, this home replacement is amazing. It's been rock stable from the beginning.

I've created a theme I call MixedUp. I tend to like pieces of different themes so I combined what I liked from each theme into my own. I'd like to know what everyone here thinks...

This images were taken with DDMS so the quality is a little poor, looks much better on the phone.

I still have some things to finish up before it's complete, but lets hear some feedback.

And of course I will only post the theme if the sources of the files approve...

Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
I think it may be possible to change that, seeing as Home++ allows it to be hidden.
[G1 Apps and Games] DGalt11:
Overall the app is great. Thanks so much :)

Couple of things. One, what is autoscroll? I can't seem to figure out exactly what it is (turn it on and off in the menu but doesn't make any difference).

Also, is there any way you could change the application dock so that it shows 4 icons rather than just 2? I'd love to use it but the fact that it reduces the number of icons in a row (even though you can scroll through them) makes it less than appealing.

And the poster above me is correct, home++ removes the notification bar, so it must be possible without rooting.

Looking forward to your next update!
[G1 Apps and Games] cody_04l:
Autoscroll is when you start to go to another screen and you hold your finger at the very edge. GDE will start to scroll through all of your screens until you let you go.
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
An update is in the market.

Removing the notification bar is no big deal and can be easily done... i do however wonder why anyone would want to remove the only useful bar Android has :D

Ill add the functionality later on for those who do know why they want it ;) Changing colors is no option as they are hard coded. sadly...
[G1 Apps and Games] chrisyak:
Installed GDE today and the hero theme and is exactly what i have been looking for,tried others and this seems the smoothest and most stable by far....i think u have a real winner on your hands here.......

more themes would always be great ....sense ui stuff too would be cool

may want to consider setting up a place where people who are not able to access the paid market can buy the app via paypal,it would increase your exposure and popularity 10 fold.....

keep up the great work!!!!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
rogro82: Just my personal opinion, but I think the following would be important to make GDE more "complete":

1. Ability to theme app icons. I think adding the ability to theme any app (instead of just system apps) would be great.

2. Gmail as one of the buttons!

3. Browser should launch Browser without opening a new window when set as a button. I know you did it this way to allow people to have a choice of which Browser to use. Perhaps you can include two options? "Android Browser" which will do what I'm suggesting, and "Custom Browser" which will do what it's currently doing? Not sure if there's a cleaner way, but well :D.

4. Similarly, Dialer should be fixed to allow us to choose which one to use.

5. Custom auto-scroll delay?

Lastly, I know it's all been mentioned before, just feel that these are quite important :P. Thanks rogro82 and overground! :)
[G1 Apps and Games] brucemcl:
Theming question

What does the menu_group.png drawable do? I see it in the sample theme, but I can't seem to get it to show up in GDE. For example, if I use some bizarre color in menu_group.png, I don't see that color anywhere in my theme.
[G1 Apps and Games] brucemcl:
There is an app called appsdesktop that kinda sorta changes the color. I think he hides the bar and substitutes his own or puts an overlay over it or something. But it looks like the color in the notification bar has been changed. Who knows what the system overhead is though. I'm for keeping things light and lively myself...
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
i love the new update. autoscroll is great now.. personally i would love to customise the delay even lower but i can live with it now-

all it needs now is:

1. grid view for folders/categories in drawer.

2. ability to have more applications in a row in the drawer and in open folders on the desktop (dxtop has an option for this as well)

3. i have themed the application focus and pressed buttons and they work great but for some reason inside a folder they go back to default android colours (which is strange because i dont have that anywhere on my phone (running a modded luckyG1 theme on my phone).

thanks for a great app....
[G1 Apps and Games] Hotas:
Latest version solved my "returning to home screen delay" issue. It took up to 8 seconds to return from some applications. Great, thank you!
[G1 Apps and Games] vixsandlee:
The latest version seems really fast!

Keep up the good work, this is progressing really well and getting better and better.
[G1 Apps and Games] mkloharry:
This latest update has fixed issues I was having on my Motorola Droid, wrong effect after going from landscape to portrait and back again when using allow auto rotation of screen. Keep the updates coming. Best app that I purchased.
[G1 Apps and Games] DGalt11:
Edit: Issue fixed.

One thing that would be a nice addition is the option to change the text / icon images for app icons on the desktop. I know pandahome lets you do this (I have a couple apps with really ugly icons lol)

Newest update is working well. Transitions definitely seem quicker. Going from one of the end screens to the home screen with the home button (e.g. have 7 screens, screen 1 to screen 4 set as home) could still be faster/smoother (between screen transitions there is a bit of a jerky hitch before it goes to the next screen). Liking the changes though :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Hareball:
The recent update fixed the problem with applications showing twice. However, that fix only lasted for a little while. I woke up this morning to find that the applications list in GDE is now displaying each application four times. Is anyone else seeing this issue?
[G1 Apps and Games] xmnj:
Any luck on the issue with new installed apps not showing up in All Applications? The update is good as far as performance, running on a Droid, just this issue has been bugging me.
[G1 Apps and Games] DGalt11:
I had the same issue. If you click the little arrow in the top left corner (the one that brings you back to the All Apps / Create Apps folder) it fixed it for me
[G1 Apps and Games] mynameiserich:
All applications menu problem

I am having this problem as well. I did not notice this until this newest update. Anytime I download an app, it does not appear in the all applications menu. I end up pressing the arrow to view all of my folders, and then return to all applications folder and it then appears. Have tried a reinstall with no luck.

Also, for now I have set the middle button to view applications folders, where I have things divided by productivity folder, games folder, etc. etc. and it makes things easier to Navigate through. One option that would be nice is to be able to have the option for when I open it in this view to be in the same folder view/location as last time.

Any future fixes/updates for the problem with apps not showing on the all applications menu? It's driving me nuts
[G1 Apps and Games] PaulGiz:
Minor problem with GDE lately. I think my phone is closing the application when other apps start to suck too much memory. It often takes 10 seconds or more to get back to Home. Is there a way to force GDE to never close? I tried Spare Parts, but there is nothing in there to keep an app running.

Any other manager apps out there that give me that option?

(1.6 MyTouch)

Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Dear Paul,

I am using a custom ROM from cyanogen and it has this this option "Keep Home app in memory".

Normally Android will indeed kill any app if another app needs memory. I have also been trying to force it to remain in memory, but with no success for now.

You can also try using a taskmanager to kill running background services.
[G1 Apps and Games] SCDroid:
rogro...i'm having an issue. Everytime i use an app then return to the home screen the transitions (doesnt matter which one i'm using, cube, fade, etc.) are gone and its black from screen to screen. then it force closes. Then it returns to home and works normal until i use another app.
[G1 Apps and Games] n0m0n:
I just got my Droid (first Android phone).

After a day of playiing with it as is out of the box I just downloaded GDE to my Droid...

I have a few questions:

1. I chose 2 Applications Docks and would like to know how I can get the apps to organize in alphabetical order?

Now they are all over the place in respect to the order in the dock

Agile is after Contacts and Gmail, and so on.

2. In the youtube vid:

GDE - The new home experience! v0.1.8.2 Application for Android | Tools

I noticed the the author had a calendar set in monthly view. When i try to get a widget set it only puts the calendar icon on the screen, and not the calendar open in either day or month.

Is that a stock app or 3rd party?

3. As well I love the weather layout and again tried the weatherbug widget it is smaller (trying the larger of the 2 options) and didn't offer a option to setup like the one in the video.

Are these 3rd party of not available for the Droid?

GREAT app though first one I purchased

Thanks

I don't know which ones are in the video but i use Weather widget donate (connected to the weather channel app) for my weather/skinnable flip clock and i use the pure grid calender app for a good calender. Stock calender is awful.
[G1 Apps and Games] n0m0n:
Weather widget donate?

I don't have that one in the list.

Where do I get or find the pure grid option?

Are you using a Droid?

Is it dedicated to your device?

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] Redflea:
Haven't seen the video, but it might be the "Beautiful Home" clock/weather widget from the Beautiful Widgets app. You can find it in Marketplace...looks like the clock/weather widget on the Sense UI on the HTC phones.
[G1 Apps and Games] SCDroid:
You have to download them through the Market app on your Droid. Just search 'Pure Calender' and 'Weather Widget Donate' .....Both of these are pay apps (like a buck each) but are worth it as they look good. (also you have a 24 hr trial period and if you dont think they are worth any money then just uninstall them and you'll get a refund)
[G1 Apps and Games] n0m0n:
Could it be under a different name?

I tried Beautiful Home, Beautiful Home Widget, but didn't find anything close

Thanks

Scan the QR Code to the right of the page (the big black barcode box looking thing) with barcode scanner app and it'll take u right to it

Also if you search for WEATHER WIDGET its halfway down and its made by Android Apps.........Search PURE GRID to pull up the calender

THANKS!

It looked different but maybe it was the theme.

THANKS AGAIN
[G1 Apps and Games] n0m0n:
Well I have worked through most of my issues, which were mostly a learning curve.

I still have not found how to organize in alphabetical order?

I chose to add a Applications dock and in it I added: Agile which now is after Contacts, and Gmail, and so on.

Anyone know how I can get it to go A,B,C,D....

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] Barkleyfan:
Organizing ap docks would be great. So would having a dedicatedn contacts carosel. My eyes are bad. But that's it for requests. I've had some FC issues, but they happened when I was busy, so I couldn't troubleshoot. Worth the money so far. Thanks for a great ap and even better support. I ampleasantly surprised by this zdroid so far. Faster and more stsble than my kaiser.
[G1 Apps and Games] ViciousCircle:
I like this app, but had a FC, and had the apps listed multiple times so I uninstalled/refunded. Once it's a bit more stable and there are less bugs, I'll probably re-buy it and give it a try again... I just absolutely hated the fact that apps were listed 3-4 times.
[G1 Apps and Games] n0m0n:
That happened to me to why?

I just closed and restarted and it was ok.

What does FC stand for?

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] Barkleyfan:
FC stands for Force Close. It's what comes up when an app becomes non-responsive'
[G1 Apps and Games] cody_04l:
Request

Rogro,

Would it be possible to allow the color of the sides (black now) when using the cube effect to be changed? Maybe even using an image would be really cool...

Sorry if this has already been asked.

landscape mode weirdness

I was wondering if you could fix the weird tiling of the wallpaper in landscape mode - I think I've seen other people commenting on this. I'm having this issue for all transition modes other than normal.

Also, when setting and using a soft button for MMS, the default destination address begins with "//" instead of being blank. Is this a technical limitation?

Thanks, and great app!

Default menu

I have bought and tried every home replacement program. This is my keeper, no doubt. I have just one little complaint. I don't see notifications on any menu. I love this program but I use the notification bar a lot as I put direct calls on there for my family. I ususally hit menu: notifiications: and can tap and dial from there. It also seems to disable the program I use (dg Quickcut). Any ideas or how I can work around this? Also will themes replace wallpapers and icons in the future? Thanks for a great great app.

Feeling pretty dumb here

Had your fantastic GDE installed for a week. Wanted to change to more screens but could not find the icon or any way to access it. Uninstalled and reinstalled three times now and still cannot find it and, of course, it is not running.

I don't have a "Home" in Manage Applications, and the GDE in Manage Applications has no defaults or cache to clear.

Help!

[G1 Apps and Games] SCDroid:

[G1 Apps and Games] rtacemery:
More (or fewer) screens can be set by going to Menu->Desktop settings. Scroll down to set number of screens, and which screen should be default.

Under "Mange Applications", press Menu->Filter and select "All". That should allow Home to appear in the list.

Hope this helps,

I have been looking for a manual but have not found 1 as of yet.

I was trying to see if I could put different wallpapers on each side of the cube but haven't found info on it.

Also is there a way to re-orginize the order of icons in the Applications bar?

I chose a applications bar and put contacts in it and for some reason S comes before M and so on.

Can you offer me any direction with these 2 questions?

They should be the last ones

Thank You so much!! Now I do see all paid apps in the market like never before. You got the best solution for my problem.

I got it now

I forgot to say that I've purchased GDE and now got it using Market Enabler.

But why things are so troubled? Isn't it simple to put paid apps and non paid apps just in the market and let users worldwide to just pay or just use 'em? Why so many troubles like "separate world into different users"? We all simply have G1, Droid and Galaxy.
[G1 Apps and Games] Macmee:
I can't use GDE on 1.5? But Rogers hasn't released 1.6 for Canadians yet.
[G1 Apps and Games] brucemcl:
1. Go to Control Panel: Button Settings and set the Menu button to "Applications menu."

2. Go to the Applications menu and add a new folder. Call it "Direct Calls," or something like that.

3. Close GDE, long click on the desktop, and make some shortcuts to call your family members. You should be able to do this in 1.6. If you are running 1.5, try using an app called Bettercut to do this.

4. Drag a shortcut to the middle button at the bottom of the screen. GDE will open up. Keep holding the shortcut. You will see the name of your folder. Drag the shortcut into the folder, then let go.

Now you will be able to get to your shortcut like you are used to. Hit the menu button, then hit the shortcuts folder you made.

Some themes give new wallpapers and icons, some do not. If you long click on your home screen and select Wallpapers, you will see a category called Theme Wallpapers that shows you all of the wallpapers from all of the themes you have downloaded.

Besides that im working on something special and added the support for the new feature. Now just need to workout all the details ;)
