Suggestions:

1)i click process button, then click end all, there is no need for another popup "this action....." Just end them all and close the window.

2) Normal backgrounds, like the rest of the home replacements. No need for seamless backgrounds.

3)5 home screens please.

4)Say i heard a notification from my phone. I have the status bar hidden and want to check whats up. I click the far right button, the the status bar shows but cannot see the top bar. Change it with single click to show the top bar and the hide it again.

5) bottom bar customizable with other apps to show. For example we can choose from the stock android apps which ones we need there.

6) Maybe in the future, for me not that important, have support for bettercut, or iconpackage support.

7)since you have the code ready for flip clock, another flip clock bigger would be nice 2rowsx4columns.Also ability to skin it or a version with transparency on border like hero one.

Great things in this home replacement

1)speed

2)bottom bar, beautiful, very nice design and modern icons.

3)ability to hide top bar

4)seconds hand in the analogue clock.

5) top marks for creativity.

6) Nice to have MOONSSPOON assisting on this
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
If anyone is getting FC's when switching between portrait and landscape, that's totally fixed in the .apk the dev sent me after I sent hime some logs and expect an update soon to fix it.
[G1 Apps and Games] krsd:
Suggestions for Home++:

1) Bottom bar

--Customizable (rearrange/add/remove launchers)

--More launchers (maybe sms/email/phone)

--or some apps (maps/browser/gmail/camera)

--Option to not slide

2) Icons

--Able to change icons(on desktop or all)

--Supported by bettercut

3) Wallpaper

--Should be like all over home apps image dimensions (i.e: 640x480 not 120x480)

4) Notification bar

--When hidden hide the gap when pulled down

5) Notifications

--Have launchers have a number counting? (don't think that is possible, or would probably be a pain)

--Just a better notification system

The great things in Home++:

1) Simple/minimal (I love that)

2) Fast

3) No glitches/frozen screen

4) Desktop screen scroll

5) Little notification/3g/Bt/batt/time area at the bottom when you slide it (should be its own widget, it would be amazing)

Problems with Home++:

1) Small notification area (always showing USB detected, even when my phone first turns on)

2) Bottom bar sometimes gets stuck (when I try to scroll from clock to beginning(search) it just scrolls through desktop screens) 1:1:4

I like it, it is a great application/home replacement and will most likely use it (definitely if there are a lot of updates and support for this app).

Just wondering, will this be free? and if not how much will it cost(US)?
[G1 Apps and Games] thecolorifix:
I just installed this and I LOVE it so far. It is so well laid out and well thought out. I love that long pressing a lot of the icons does something, and clicking on all the statusbar icons opens their respective applications.

I will have to donate, I hope the dev keeps this going for a long time.
[G1 Apps and Games] dekeijzer:
Well I think it has some memory leak or something, because it is really slowing down my phone.

Took 20 seconds to make a call this morning, and replying to a call takes up to 10 seconds (which sucks).
[G1 Apps and Games] M..N:
Is it possible to make the icon size larger

Bookmarks list is empty

Hi,

I noticed a bug in the latest beta (0.8.0.4) : bookmarks list is empty.

Well, it's not completely empty because the number of items in the list seems ok but there's no label, no image, and pressing empty items does nothing.

Otherwise, thanks for added BetterCut support, my home looks pretty sleek :D
[G1 Apps and Games] andjohn:
Beautiful

Hey,

Really really liking the speed of Home++! It's amazing. I never switched to any home replacements cause they suck for speed, but this is more of an evolution then a replacement. Very very well done. Is there any way you could make the screens 5 'blocks' high instead of 4? That would be a BIG cherry on top of an amazing and not annoying replacement :) Thanks!

John
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
I really can't understand at all why everyone wants 5 home screen to work with I really can't. I made the best out of one screen and only needed one. Cyan builds bug me because he has 5 screens and I just don't see a g1 or MyTouch running well or fast with 5 screens it's just clutter.

But feel free to enlighten me :D
[G1 Apps and Games] mianosm:
I'm also seeing the empty list of bookmarks.

I've really enjoyed H++ over the default and GDE so far.

Lack of notifications is a little irritating, but the led/vibrate/sound is okay for me most of the time.
[G1 Apps and Games] jay652:
I mean, I have five screens on the Advanced Launcher but only use the middle three. I just keep the two on either side in case I feel like testing out a new widget without having to delete a bunch of stuff, or something like that. If you leave those screens empty, I really can't imagine it slowing down the phone whatsoever.

That being said, there was a time when I used five screens entirely, so I get the concern.

I've stopped using Home++ for the time being, but I'm pretty sure that long-pressing on the bottom notification icon will toggle the notification bar on or off until you choose otherwise.
[G1 Apps and Games] brummiesteven:
I use Advanced Launcher with 5 screens with no slowdown whatsoever.
[G1 Apps and Games] giantcrazy:
You do realize that you don't HAVE to have 5 screens on CM's builds, right?
[G1 Apps and Games] Carloswithac:
Explain yourself. I have two unused screens as well.
[G1 Apps and Games] mianosm:
You can use a home alternative that reduced the # of home screens.

I know with GDE and Advanced Launcher you can reduce the # of screens available.
[G1 Apps and Games] Charbo:
I just started using this and I really like it, the only thing that would make it better so far for me is being able to organize the tray like advanced launcher.
[G1 Apps and Games] Alucardis666:
Loving the concept and the layout. very slick and seemingly droid like. I love that the notification bar doesn't HAVE to be there. Nice job. I will be following the development of this.
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
Back when Cyan had the advanced launcher in his builds I liked it, but using an alternative home app has become sluggish since 1.6 and I'm not into it at all.Using home++ right now however and it's great.

I really don't appreciate GDE, you might and I support that and all, but it's not for me.
[G1 Apps and Games] be0ne:
0.8.0.6 Nice update

Ok, everybody wants a different number of screens ?

It's like the developer heard us :D

We can now choose the number of screens (from 3 to 7). The update (0.8.0.6) brings optimization, bug fix (wallpaper scaling issue), customization enhancement (button bar is partially configurable), etc.

And from what I can read on the "official" web site, the developer is working on making the button bar fully configurable :D
[G1 Apps and Games] shmigao:
i love this one. it's a dream come true. possibility to hide the status bar, move all frequently used apps into the scrollable bottom bar (not fully configurable yet... but a great start), animated widget (which could spawn a whole new industry of widget production! cool).

this one has great potential

i uninstalled now, because its in beta, but i have it under watch with aTrackDog :-)

but... as someone pointed it out earlier in this threat. it should be a real home replacement (for root users) that can be flashed... then it would have the ability to truly perform to its limits.

waiting for that :D
[G1 Apps and Games] be0ne:
Beta, yes. Amazing, also

Although it's in beta, it's already fast and stable. It's not in an "early stage" or anything like that.

And regarding H++ to be a "real home replacement" that requires a root access, it would exclude a lot of people from using the application. In my opinion, the app should exists as a stand-alone, at least.

If in addition a "flesh to replace" version is available and if it's improve performances, I would be the first to try it :D
[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
been using it for a while now and i love it.

Finally a home app that gets rid of the notification bar :P
[G1 Apps and Games] htcmagic:
I think we should learn to appreciate and evaluate software in a better manner.When i am comparing to other home replacements i always check for innovation.

I have used them all.

Open home what new things did they bring since they launched? Skinning,larger clock and ripped powercontrol widget, more than 3 screens.

aHome? Skinning, more than 3 screens, separate drawer for apps and widgets.

Freshhome?Skinning, more than 3 screens

Pandahome? skinning, more than 3 screens,docks,apps separated alphabetically in drawer.

Dxtop? Skinning, more than 3 screens, folders in drawer,task manager drawer, lock screen,hide apps.

GDE? Skinning, more than 3 screens,loop screen +animations, change of the drawer tab(add 2 more shortcuts),dock widget.

Advanced Launcher?more than 3 screens, folders in drawer, hide apps.

Sweeter home, well that's in a different league, no space to list here what it does.

And we come to home++, the most promising home replacement.

more than 3 screens,loop screen, wonderful launcher bar-customizable(information on click of a button,like battery etc, hiding notification bar,task manager,fast,animated widgets.

Remember GDE,Dxtop,aHome,OpenHome are paid apps,you pay for what??? We have everything in Home++ plus innovation, new ideas, something that other home replacements should concentrate instead of just throwing something that has skins and nothing new to offer.
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
EXACTLY! GDE is such a bad home replacement I bought it and I'm like ugh this isn't for me and uninstalled it haha.

You forgot project-x though :p

Lol and some Iphone HR's.

:D I to have tried them all
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
Looks like I'm the only one that emailed him and sent him this forum url lol.
[G1 Apps and Games] be0ne:
0.8.0.7 is out !

Nop, you're not, I exchanged a couple of emails with him/her too ;)

And these comments (about 0.8.0.6 release) lets me think we were not just 2 to ask : "Configurable screen number. You want it, you have it." "Thank you all for your support! I'm about to sleep and will reply to your mails later."

By the way, I agree with htcmagic when he/she says we should evaluate differently home apps. Home++ is one of the (if not the) most innovative home app. We have to think in terms of features, design, personalization.
[G1 Apps and Games] mianosm:
I found: http://groups.google.com/group/hpp-issues?pli=1

I'm currently getting a slew of FC's on 0.8.7.5 with the WG-Build of CM4.2.7.1

When I:

for i in $(find -iname mobi.intuitit.*); do rm -rf $i; done

it fixes the problems, blowing out the odex, and the preferences in /data/date seem to correct the issues....I'm going to try to just remove the odex next time and leave the /data/data information intact.

Great application though, really like it much more than the default home and GDE.
[G1 Apps and Games] be0ne:
Email him (or her)

The developer advised me to send an email directly at 'hpp .at. intuitit.mobi' :D
[G1 Apps and Games] daze88:

[G1 Apps and Games] htcmagic:
0.8.0.7.11

now with screen switcher. Long press menu (hard key).
[G1 Apps and Games] Amdathlonuk:
The only thing I miss is the HTC widget support.

I quite like the HTC music and calender.

This only allows standard Android widgets.

Overall though, very impressive. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] JAguirre1231:
Yeah htc has the rosie widgets locked into rosie, they won't work on any other home app (home++/default android launcher/aHome/openhome/etc.)
[G1 Apps and Games] brios86:
great the best like the way is turning out love the work

ps: suggestion maybe if we can be able to put a messenger button on the power strip? no biggie

also when you plug in your usb to your phone it shows the icon, maybe if we can click on the icon and be able to mount and unmount like the battery and 3G and reception u know.

thankz for all your great work
[G1 Apps and Games] ralexand:
I tried this app out a couple of months ago when it was an early release and uninstalled it shortly thereafter because it just took too long to load. Now, with the performance mode, it's my new Home replacement.

Suggestions: Ability to arrange menu bar icons (left to right, vice versa), ability to add custom apps to menu bar

But, this is still a great replacement!
[G1 Apps and Games] randomperson2:
The animated flip clock is really the only reason I use H++ over other home replacements. I'll be looking forward to a fix to this issue.
[G1 Apps and Games] JAguirre1231:
He has an animated flip clock in the market that works on all homes
[G1 Apps and Games] Ace42:
Wow this thing is truely amazing, not sure if it will make me switch away from hero though :p
[G1 Apps and Games] Branwen:
It so much better than sense (from a Hero user!)
[G1 Apps and Games] :
So yeah. This Home Replacement goes great with Eclair 2.0.1 and SuperD. But I can't get it on JAC Hero 2.6.X and I wanted to know why.
[G1 Apps and Games] xyrcncp:
I believe Home++ is 1.6 and up only. Hero is 1.5
[G1 Apps and Games] Abrasher:
So Far

I love Home++. The look, the feel, the style. I simply wish it was a little smoother. It seems to sometimes lag, and slow down when launching apps. But I love this way more than open home, or ahome, or panda, or intelliscreen.

The 2 best (in order):

1) HOME++

2)GDE
[G1 Apps and Games] jdwash11:
Has anyone had any issues with their screen being completely blank? As in backlit but no display?

I don't know if it was caused by this app but this occured shortly after installing Home++, did a Nandroid backup (which gave me back the stock home) and everything was working fine again. Everything would display just fine during boot but once I made it to the home screen everything was black (but backlit).
[G1 Apps and Games] jezusrvd:
oooops, forgot rule #1, read.:(
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
I'm kinda over this HR already, I wanted to get my hands back on the old Sweeter Home to mess around and create things, but they pulled it from the market so now I'm just waiting with the stock Home for Sweeter to come out.

BUt someone with a droid or 2.0/2.1 care to explain the special features you guys get?

As in the zoom feature

And Always the dev released an app only for 2.0+ builds, I didn't get to see too much into that.
[G1 Apps and Games] DocRambone:
Perfect with Nexus, very fast. Lets hope that the drawer can by updated to 2,1 style.
[G1 Apps and Games] no6969el:
very awesome, only thing I dont like is that the alerts dont show up on top anymore.. I like the alerts..
[G1 Apps and Games] MrOuch:
the alerts do still show up at the top, all you have to do is long press on the (!) icon on the bottom.
[G1 Apps and Games] friedgoldmole:
Loved this home replacement, but going back to the stock I realised how much it was slowing down the launch of the dialer, it takes 2 -6 seconds to load the dialer, whereas stock comes up instantly.

Anyone else experience this? (could be something to do with the configuration/apps I have on my phone I guess)
[G1 Apps and Games] jasnmb:
i don't remember the dialer specifically, but when I was using this, I did notice an overall slowdown in launching apps on my MT3G. Too bad, because I really liked this as well.

I still haven't found a home replacement app that is just as fast as the default home.
[G1 Apps and Games] friedgoldmole:
It seems to me that most of the Home Replacements I have tried, and I have tried most of them, start off functionally similar to the standard home, and fairly speedy. As they start to add additional functionality they gradually start to lag and slow the system down. Still Home++ is still the most stable home replacement I have used yet.
[G1 Apps and Games] dweller88:
been testing manups latest eclair 2.1 1.5 and JACs xrom eclair 1.0 with home++

manups rom has no delay when going to dialer or contacts, whereas JACs has that awkward 2 second pause.

Both roms are great but I'm gonna switch back to manups for this reason :)
[G1 Apps and Games] kirkvanhouten:
Just downloaded it. I really like it and use it as default home. i think i'll try it for a while
[G1 Apps and Games] BigWorldJust:
Very nice. It looks more like the HTC Touch Pro 2 :D.
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
I've swapped this HR out for Sweeter Home preview two
[G1 Apps and Games] beatle7777777:
i did at first to but all of a sudden sweeter home got really slow so i gave it up :(
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
Really?

When you switch between home apps make sure you clear the old screen of shortcuts and widgets

i think that slows it down between holding the information and updating widgets it's ran like a champ for me and I haven't herd anyone say it's slow.

+ there's another new beta release with 40+ bug fixes
[G1 Apps and Games] Ace42:
The regular home app isnt loaded into memory or active so no need to clear it of widgets or shortcuts.I think this should be used with 10MB hacks for better speed.
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
Well when you look into taskiller things like weather widgets are still running and updating so I usually tackle them off, but in a day or two I will load up all my HR's and we'll see.

The only downfall about the 10MB hack is it makes games like Radiant not work lol
[G1 Apps and Games] sherl0k:
home++ rocks. i was using pandahome for a few days until i found this. wayyy better. i love the default clock and date widgets too. it's quick, easy to use, and frees up spots on my home screen thanks to the powerstrip. hiding the notification bar is snazzy too - and knowing i can bring it back is even more awesome.

i think the ability to change fonts is the only thing i would want out of this home app, but even without that ability i don't think i'm going to change to another home screen.

i'll see random slowdowns every now and then but it's not really pinpointed to a specific area. it may freeze for a sec unlocking, or when launching the browser, but nothing consistent.

i'm a happy customer, even if i didn't pay anything for it.
[G1 Apps and Games] beatle7777777:
i updated it and am using sweeterhome again, the amount of options is amazing, while its still just a bit slow its faster than almost any other homescreen
[G1 Apps and Games] zim2dive:
Question (and feature request)...

FR: make the battery readout a digital percentage

In the meantime, I was using (and generally happy with) the battery meter in SysTray Monitor with the default Home App.

EDIT: duh. forgot to finish.. any suggestions on what to use in the meantime? (assuming I want to avoid having the status bar at the top)

EDIT2: "Apps Installer" fails to launch for me now???
[G1 Apps and Games] Izord:
On a MT3G how do you get to the screen switcher without also pulling up the onscreen keyboard, which is also a long press on the menu button?
[G1 Apps and Games] Izord:
When I press the text for time at the bottom it tells me that the alarm clock application isn't installed. What do I need to do to fix this?

Can I download an alarm clock from the market. Which one?

Can I specify what application is linked to that action of touching the text of the time?

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] bogstandard:
On SuperD, you have the new alarm clock app (from eclair?). In the Home++ settings, you can select what app the clock press takes you to.
[G1 Apps and Games] bmfc187:
there is an option in settings to show the screen switcher on the scrollbar...then you just press that and it pops up...

-BMFC
[G1 Apps and Games] Izord:
I got my clock press mapped to the calculater. I want to know how to map the time in the Power Strip to a program. Right now it says 'Application is not isntalled on your phone' when I press the time on the power strip.

Also sorry, not using SuperD today, using Pays rom v1.2. need to updated my sig, very often go back to SuperD.
[G1 Apps and Games] zim2dive:
This may be on the "coming soon" list.. is there any way to have the buttons launch a different app? (ie. I'd like Tasks to launch my preferred Task manager.. inContext)

Terminal-based methods of accomplishing this ok too :)
[G1 Apps and Games] bernabap:
How does work the screenshot function in their mobiles? I'm using Home + + on my Kaiser with Android 1.6 and at the moment I only can take screenshots of my home++, applications menu, screen switcher and native home++ Taskiller. I can not take screenshots of any open application like Market. I would like to know how this function works for you? In my HTC Kaiser I have to select the 2 options in "Graphics" tab (Screenshot on camera key and Override BACK key) to make screenshots available, but the button maped to make screenshots is my "ok" button just below the END, which also works as back function in all applications. I do not know if this is a bottom maped conflict or if it is not possible in any phone. So, please tell me how it works for you? Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] topdnbass:
Yep this is probably my favorite home replacement!

I have tried just about all of em, and this one is pretty great.

Couple things i'd like fixed but it's a beta and i'm patient.
[G1 Apps and Games] kocj:
How to use the powerstrip?

Hello all,

First I didn´t read the hwole tread.:p

Just my opinion, this is the best launcher i ever used.

Witch application do I need to use the clock in the power strip?

All other things was easy to get.

I use it in Pays-ROM v1.5 Home++

kocj
[G1 Apps and Games] Branwen:
menu, pref's, power strip, tick-boxes

[from memory, but its in the preferences for the power strip]

Is there still development on this program? It's great but a suggestion to add whatever links you want on the power strip. I would like to eliminate all icons on my screen (like text messaging). A great product!
[G1 Apps and Games] be0ne:
Still under development

From what I know, Home++ is still under development but the developer has other projects going on : http://hpp.intuitit.mobi/news

And I think the developer doesn't follow this thread.

I exchanged a couple of emails with him/her and there's, indeed, a todo list for Home++.
