OK...I cleared my default dialer, and you're right. Goes to call log. I'll get him on it. Thanks. I'm kind of a temporary XDA-liason, because the dev's router took a crap, so he has to do everything through tethering until his new one arrives. He's looking into this issue as we speak. He maintains the list, so he'd have to post it. I just ***** enough to get things added to it.

Update: Fixed while typing this post...will be in next market update. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.:)

I will forward your post to rogro, as he has indicated that he would like a webpage. I'll have him shoot you a PM as soon as he can...thanks again.

Jus the wisgets dnt show up no loading data... nothing...idk y.... at first the widget for weather was stucc on loadin data...then never came up..so I took it off..after I tried and tried and none of the widgets came on it jus was blank..

That's all I really can say cuz that all I kno lol
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Ok...try clearing your widgets from your default home first (if you have any there). Then try an uninstall/reinstall from the market...(only if you're sure you don't want a refund). BKMO reported that fixed a widget issue for him. Any chance you could post a logcat while trying to load one of your widgets? We will fix this for you, just may take a little time.
[G1 Apps and Games] akagoffer:
I had one force close so far after sending a SMS from handcent popup... I had been sending SMS like this all day so not sure why it happened this one time.
[G1 Apps and Games] mrnv45:

[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
wow, after the latest update it's smooth as hell! good job :D
[G1 Apps and Games] jroid:
where exactly? i checked in all the setting as far down as possible but can't find it still
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
No they are on the todo-list... ;)

0.1.4 is in the market... Google Search widget is available and Google Search can also be started from the menu.
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Thanks, it will get better though... As soon as I have time to not implement features i will start optimizing everything there is to optimize.

But first:

Landscape

Themes

Import / Export of settings

And some other stuff ( Just got some great ideas )

No sleep for me this week :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
haha keep at it. i love it so far!
[G1 Apps and Games] pentace:
If this is free can someone post a link to it? Alot of people here on the East coast have not been able to get onto the market all day
[G1 Apps and Games] jay652:
Thanks for fixing this so quickly! Keep up the good work!
[G1 Apps and Games] jay652:
It's not free, so the APK should not be shared. I'm on the East Coast, however, and was able to purchase it earlier today. Definitely worth the couple bucks.
[G1 Apps and Games] metadat4:
Just updated to 0.1.4, looking very nice.

Although, I noticed one problem. I'm so used to opening the keyboard, hitting the search button, and just typing to start a google search. When I did it this time, the number of screens was reduced to 1. I'm pretty sure I didn't touch the setting. It happened only once and I can't seem to duplicate the glitch.

Also, I think a search option for the left or right shortcut buttons would be really awesome. Looking forward to landscape view! Keep up the good work.
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Ha...just tried that. While my screen numbers persisted, I ended up having to type sideways due to no screen rotation. Got a f/c upon kb close, as well. For now I guess we have to use soft kb in portrait mode. This will get fixed tomorrow. Thanks for the report, but at least we have some sort of search now. Getting there.

EDIT: Good idea on the soft search button too!
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Yep...got the same thing. The search widget added fine. I should have tried others. Will get fixed ASAP.
[G1 Apps and Games] carnegie0107:
Feature request

I have an idea... how about the option to customize separately what menu opens when you hit the menu key AND when you tap the little arrow. I'd like to set it to launch the apps menu from the arrow, and bring up the main GDE menu when I hit the 'menu' key. Feels more natural, and more in line with how Android works--main controls on the screen, hit the menu button for a menu of more options.

Just sayin... that's all this needs to be my permanent home replacement. (and maybe make the wallpaper look a little nicer when flipping)
[G1 Apps and Games] carnegie0107:
Any chance ASAP means, like, tonight? If not, no complaints for me... but, another release tonight would be amazing. And all these cool apps updating helps ween me off my addiction of flashing new ROMs all the time... I'm trying to stick with Cyanogen for a while and get everything running perfect... and this homescreen is certainly helping me get there!
[G1 Apps and Games] sweetpunkined:
can u plz, cuz i dont have a backup of the 0.1.3 in when i did the update, i uninstall the app then update so now i dont have any widgets on my home screen.......DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
This was suggested a page or 2 ago, and an implementation for configuring the default actions for both the menu button and the tray arrow will happen. We got other things to get fixed first...I'm sure you understand.

Do the conversion from your timezone to the Netherlands. If first thing in the morning there converts into your "tonight", then, yes...hopefully. ;)

Check your PM
[G1 Apps and Games] carnegie0107:
Weird. Somehow I missed reading that. And yes, I imagine that feature won't be top priority... thanks for working on it.

You are on top of things! Fast development, and thanks for the quick replies to all us whiny, demanding users here in the thread. ;) I have high hopes for this.
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
This will be the Home Replacement to rule them all. Rogro82 is pure genius. Rare to get that and dedication wrapped up in one dev. Most of the time it's one or the other - genius/flaky or novice/dedication. If I had to choose, I'd take the dedication, because at least you know where you stand and you know he's/she's:p trying to fix things. We have the best of both worlds here. Thanks for your kind comments, suggestions, understanding and patience. This is uncharted territory for Android, but we may very well be making history. Great things still to come. :D
[G1 Apps and Games] ShelW:
Yup.

I'm experiencing the same problem.

Trying to add ANY widget, and I get a force close.

By the way, I'm on a myTouch with 1.6, if that's helpful!

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] paolo1976:
I face the same problem on my Hero... and uninstalling the 1.3 i've lost all my widget setting :( :(
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
0.1.5 in the market with the widget adding fix!

Thanks for all sending me emails about the problem! Im sorry for the inconvenience, but I will make it up to you all!

Can someone please report back if it is working?
[G1 Apps and Games] jacklc000:
FC

I added the search widget without issue, but now when I try to add any widget I get force close...
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Did you download 0.1.5 from the market?
[G1 Apps and Games] mattmaso:
when i add a widget gde force closes
[G1 Apps and Games] Diceman4:
I was able to successfully add a widget with 0.1.5.

Thanks Rogro!
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Thanks for letting me know! Please everyone with widget adding f/c's update to 0.1.5

My apologies once again for this issue.
[G1 Apps and Games] paolo1976:
Thanks rogro82, just updated and all works now..

only issue i have is that search button doesn't work.. but i think it's my Hero's problem..
[G1 Apps and Games] arjaythomas:
no problems with widgets now thank you
[G1 Apps and Games] mgorman:
when i have any transition set up besides stock, the wallpaper doesn't move like its supposed to. I have 3 screens right now and 2 of them show the same image instead of 3 different ones.
[G1 Apps and Games] jacklc000:
Installed .15 and widgets working normally now!

Awesome app!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] zrubi:
Can you release a demo or lite version so we can test it before we buying it?

I couldn't find any lite version in the market for GDE.

Thanks,
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
That's just the way those transitions handle wallpapers for now. We'll try to find a more "fitting" solution once we get the essentials in. When we started, we could only get the wallpaper to show on one side, so we've made some progress, but I understand your issue.

Not available yet, will be in the near future. Keep checking the first post. It will be announced there when it hits.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Hi, the new version fixes the widget issues, thank you. Im still getting some random FCs and have sent the logs to rogro. lastly, i have selected browser to be one of the buttons on the bar. However it always open a new window, regardless of the browser's previous state. Could you add an option or make it such that it will simply launch the browser without opening a new window? Similar to launching the browser from the app icon directly. Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] sxfx:
Probably the best 4 bucks I ever spend on the market.

And this is really ****in polished up for being released for only like a couple days so far.
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Will add to the todo list

Thanks for your support! It's only going to get better.
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Coming soon in next update....

A brand new AppDock widget. Add the widget, drag your apps to it, scroll the apps left and right!:) Hopefully Landscape fix in this one too.
[G1 Apps and Games] mattmaso:
very hot app :D

best home replacement out there!

haha just edited the drawables so it looks like hero rosie :P
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Thanks overground :D!
[G1 Apps and Games] be0ne:
Great App !

Hi rogro82,

First of all, thanks and congrats for this great app ! This is one of the best home replacement I ever used on Android. Your advanced launcher is particularly ingenious, love it :D

If I may, I'd like to propose some changes I haven't seen on the first post :

- compatibility with BetterCut. I don't know if it's a "third party" issue but I can't use BetterCut to create shortcuts on GDE desktop. It works fine with standard home, Open Home but not with GDE.

- the possibility to use font packs

- the possibility to set left and right buttons to directly launch an application

I know these are only "cosmetic" changes but I think it could make a real advantage and make the application even more popular.

An donce again, thanks :)
[G1 Apps and Games] NisseGurra:
WOW, this app is a beauty. Best spent eur :)

BIG thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Can you post a screenshot?

You're welcome. I'm just here to keep the dev, deving.:)

BetterCut integration is already on the todo list. Added font packs (and icon packs while I was at it) to "the list". Custom intents for tray buttons already on you know where. Thanks for your comments and constructive suggestions.

We like happy people to stay happy!;)
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
Every time I change an image and push it back to the phone it will not run. What did you do just pull it and push it? Did you resign it?

Edit: Just tried it again and it worked. I deleted the original and pushed it to /system/app this time.

I attached a screenshot
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Ahhh...that looks nice! Did you add the transparency to the Power Widget in Settings.apk? Looks sick!
[G1 Apps and Games] mattmaso:
I'm still editing it but i think for the beginning it's ok.
[G1 Apps and Games] NisseGurra:
WOW, any chance you can post the the files needed?, look perfect :)
[G1 Apps and Games] mattmaso:
I could post the png files..... ;)

EDIT: Here you are http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tn4jmzzzvuc (but don't forget i just started to edit the pics :P)
[G1 Apps and Games] NisseGurra:
Thanks :). Lets see if i can get it running :)

Update, works nicely. Thanks again :)
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
Yeah it is in settings.apk , most of my theme is Enoch. Did you notice the slight transparency in the search widget?
[G1 Apps and Games] be0ne:
Battery percentage ?

I know I'm asking too much but would it be possible possible to display the battery percentage in the tray ? Like one of the selectable intents ?

(battery % is one of the information I need the more on my mobile desktop)

And by the way, I'm wondering : what does GDE means ?

Is it related to the devs names or something like that ?
[G1 Apps and Games] Henchman:
How do I install these?
[G1 Apps and Games] mattmaso:
you have to pull the apk file from your mobile, extract it, replace the pngs with my pngs and zip it back to a signed apk
[G1 Apps and Games] TikiiTorch:
I am quite impressed with what has been done already, and am looking forward to the progress.

One suggestion (along the lines of custom intents) I would make:

The "call" and "contact" option for the left and right buttons are set to launch the default dialer regardless of what is set to default for those actions. I would like to see the call button have the ability to act just as the hardbutton does.

off topicish...

I'm a little confused overground. Are you affiliated with GDE or rogro82?
[G1 Apps and Games] Henchman:
I'll wait for the dev to do it. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Yes I did...nice job, my friend.

Well it can't hurt to ask. No promises, but I'll add it to da list.

Graphical Desktop Environment

If you don't feel like taking things apart, themes are high on the list. There's already a dropdown for them so they should be. :)

I see what you mean there. It didn't use to do that. It got changed recently due to the "call" button pulling up the stock call log if you had no other contact/dialer app set as default. Fixed for some, broken for others. I'll see what can be done.

No, actually I decided the other day to pick a random thread, and start answering questions. This was it...lucky people.:p

Seriously though, about a month ago I PM'd rogro to thank him for kicking off the Advanced Launcher and at the same time ***** about no scrolling output in Gscript. He replied and asked me if I would help beta test a "revolutionary" home replacement app he had just started. Now, before this, I'd not been a big fan of "HR" apps due to system resource limitations. I own Open Home and haven't installed it in about 6 months. That's a big reason I really like the Advanced Launcher. It replaces the stock Launcher, so we don't have 2 running at once unnecessarily. He says in the near future, GDE will be staunch enough that we will be able to kill acore.

When he sent me the first .apk it was just a spinning white cube and app tray. Soon he got wallpapers to stick, but only to 2 sides. The rest were white. All of a sudden he started flooding me with updates and each one had major advances over the last. It was only about a week ago that I asked him if he could make the cube spin 360. I hated being on screen 5 and needing to get to a widget on screen 1. I had a working "spinning" copy installed about an hour later. Just sitting there with a stupid grin "spinning my cube".

My gf thinks I'm nuts, and I probably am. I paid for this app when it hit the market just like everyone else. I get nothing ($ wise) from this, except that I have a really boring job, and I can only play so much online poker. So this quells the boredom for awhile. Sorry for the brief response, but I'm really busy.:D

EDIT: I still don't have scrolling output in Gscript! I quit!
[G1 Apps and Games] TikiiTorch:
So, self nominated Hype Machine then... I can dig it! You keep pumping the crowd and let rogro stay free to work his magic. Maybe a career in PR would have been a wise choice for you?
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
i was thinking about doing this the other day and you jus saved me thr trouble :p thanks bro
[G1 Apps and Games] mattmaso:
no problem but there is still much to do...

EDIT: i think the rosie bar needs to be a bit higher and i need to edit the rest of the icons
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Haha...yeah, that would have been good for me. IMO, it's kinda lame as some of the people who play this role in other threads really bug me. But, it is what it is, and I am pretty good at whining just enough to get **** done but not too much as to halt production. Basically, people keep me around for my sassy smell and my self developed TV preaching skills.
[G1 Apps and Games] muzek:
I'm not sure a sassy smell is something you want to be proud of... but thanks for helping rogro test this and get it to where it is, it truly is a great HR... can't wait to see where he takes it next :D
[G1 Apps and Games] mattmaso:
made some little changes for hero skin

Download:

[G1 Apps and Games] Jeliz187:
@rogro82 Hey man I love this app a lot but had to abandon it because i can never get to the dialer quickly. Everything seems to run extra smooth until I want to use my phone as a phone. Just wandering if this is going to get addressed in future updates.
[G1 Apps and Games] Heppieboeddah:
Hero

I downloaded it from the market and installed it on my Hero! It looks really great and is working fine..but, Its not possible to add any of the HTC widgets i.e. the weather/clock to the homescreen. Is there a fix for or a workaround?

cheers
[G1 Apps and Games] kron2:
that is the one problem i have is the dialer lags i was thinking it had to do with my rom but it works ok with out gde and laggs with it installed
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Basically no... the widgets HTC created are too dependant on the modifications they made to the SDK, they need to be ported to work with the normal Google SDK. I will investigate if their are possibilities now that HTC released their source.

As for custom widgets... I have been writing my own widget framework so I can make some GDE specific widgets which can have much more userinput and more functionality then the original widget framework supports.

So expect to see some special GDE widgets in the future. I am about to release a new version with a "simple" widget added. An Application Dock on which you can drop icons and scroll them horizontally... Unlimited desktop space!

So not an app dock which needs to be configured but fully drag & drop and scroll.
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
My dialer is as smooth if not smoother then ever... Can you tell me what Rom you are on so maybe I can try it on the same rom.
[G1 Apps and Games] kron2:
i am on Cyanogen's 4.2.1 it lags going in and going out but maybe it is on my side but it just seems to do it on gde but i still think your app is killer
[G1 Apps and Games] Jonno12345:
Agreed, no issues with my dialer at all on CM 4.2.1
[G1 Apps and Games] kron2:
i will try a wipe
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
I am having a small dilemma and maybe you guys can help me out.

I created the Application Dock widget for GDE and the plan was to release it in 0.1.6 together with landscape. Landscape support is taking a bit more time to fix all the drawables etc. so it will mean that the update will be postponed for a while.

So here are the options I want you to decide on:

1. I want to wait for it all to be completed so I have landscape AND the appdock widget

2. Just release 0.1.6 with the widget and postpone landscape till 0.1.7

Let me know! :)
[G1 Apps and Games] overground:
Release it when you have scroll output in Gscript!:p
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Watch it or ill add GScript as a widget you punk :p
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Ill take this moment of silence as a yes release 0.1.6? :)
[G1 Apps and Games] kron2:
i can wait for landscape how far off are you.....edit..... well i see you have the update in the market lol
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
Whatever....:D
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Just released 0.1.6... :( :D

Well its 3am in here so im about to go off... I am doing my best to speed up landscape delivery, but too bad i couldnt get everything done today...

Ill stay awake for half an hour or so... If anyone can test it and let me know if all is working as expected that would be highly appreciated!
[G1 Apps and Games] kron2:
i can't remove it and if you go over the widget spot the screen will not move
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Also started on the skin template. GDE is now able to find installed GDE skin packages, but i will need some custom drawables/pngs to setup the skin template and to test later on.

Is anyone willing to share his custom png's already made for GDE? So i can use them as a test and a basic setup for the Skin Template.

Else i will have to make some myself and then i would loose some precious time :)
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
You can remove it... you can only drag it using the out most left and right corner.. its shouldnt move the screen because you can scroll items horizontally in it :)

Just drop some items in it and you will know what i mean... thats the beauty of it... its the first horizontally enabled widget...
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Are you seeing what i mean? Normally a widget wont allow any real input besides click events.... my custom widget framework does... So now I can create real widgets with swipes/gestures etc etc!
[G1 Apps and Games] kron2:
it is working now the corner worked
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Also added that as a note to the market.

Is the horizontal scroll working correct?
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Working fine over here :).
[G1 Apps and Games] kron2:
it is working for me love your work thx
[G1 Apps and Games] bkmo:
drawables to save precious time

attached are what I am using.....basically from the Enoch theme.

Edit: Care to explain where GDE will look for these packages, and what the dir structure is for the zip? That is if you haven't fallen asleep yet.
[G1 Apps and Games] jay652:
Working great, thanks!

As a future update to this widget, you may want to implement a "Live folder" type of feature (if possible), where the widget could automatically update with all current apps. A way to hide specific apps from this bar, in this case, would also be great.
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
was also thinking of this... and maybe a starred contacts one.... future future :)

This is basically just a fast show case of the custom widget implementation.... which i also used for the google search ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] mattmaso:
you can use mine (hero style)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yyyymi4mttz
[G1 Apps and Games] rogro82:
Thanks! Landscape and theming it will be tomorrow evening :) hopefully i can finalize the whole theming support this weekend so you guys can finally go all out :)
[G1 Apps and Games] maxdamage2122:
How do you delete the app widget once its on your desktop?
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
maxdamage2122: Long-press at the side of the widget.

rogro82: Are you planning to implement some sort of indicator to show which screen it's at? :)
[G1 Apps and Games] maxdamage2122:
Thanks I feel like such a noob now
[G1 Apps and Games] ElahC:
Woot! This is awesome, I have a suggestion, when you scroll through the screen with the cube transition it shows the black background, can you make it so we can choose a background to be placed instead. I hope you understand what I am saying :). Can't wait to see this being more customizable!
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Some more transitions I would like to see are the inner cube effect (not sure of the correct name, basically the panes are the inside of the cube instead of the outside), and a cylinder/circular one instead of a cube. Also, it would be good to implement the endless loop for the normal transition as well :D.

Thanks!
