[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
ill switch to another AOSP branch for the kernel i run, and get back to you.

seems a freeze everytime orientation is encountered. power off/on brings it back to life.

will get back to you...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
@pershoot

alright!

---

Anyway, news updates! Launcher2 will always be free. So you guys don't have to worry. ;)

Meanwhile, for my donators, I'll soon drop something in the donator repository.. but before I do, I need comments first.

Full screen App Menu

3-7 Screens

Auto Orientation

Quick Shortcuts

App Menu = Sliding Drawer

Double Tap screen for Previews

*Probably* faster

well, picture tells a thousand words... see below.. ;)

tell me if you like the current version better than this one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ggrant3876:
Everytime you do an update it just gets better and better. I would have to actually try it, as much as I like .5 this could be better.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
The only thing I don't care for is the App Menu = Sliding Drawer. (Feels like a backward step) Just my point of view. (I don't care for the look) :cool:

Great work!!! You are amazing!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psylink:
personally, i dont like the new icon, i say if you're replacing it go with a gray/white android instead for the app drawer icon.

/me goes to donate
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] detox702:
@arctu Please don't go to the app drawer style launcher. I really prefer the nexus launcher dots thing. Also, I think I missed how to donate? This mod is great and I would love to donate if you could inform me as to how.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tallen3:
Not very keen on the old drawer look, but double tap sounds great. I donated via the first page best money I've spent on my Nexus so far.:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dhendrix11:
I agree with the other sentiments. Please don't go back to the old app drawer style.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
haha. didn't know you all love launcher2 app view so much. may i know specifically why?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
Well for me it makes my Baby (N1) feel old! She is new and sexy and definitely nothing like my first Android device the G1 which I still own. :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tallen3:
Better graphics and transitions are why I traded up from my Hero and I love software that makes the most of the hardware.;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JustinLoe:
whats the weather/calender widget + skinned? very nice looking. tia
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Perfect, old style drawer is MUCH better than the launcher2 SLOW app drawer. This option make me donate :)

Update: Donated :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
haha. i guess now i'll be maintaining two versions. :P
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psylink:
wanted that little droid, did it myself
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] alienware777:
Psylink can you either upload that, or tell us what you did? Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mrnexusone:
what kind of weather app you use in your screenshot? thanks..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] b1337:
+1 for the old style app drawer I especially like docrambone's transparent version! Keep up the good work thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sdvn:
Old drawer is step back, imho. But I want small feature - background under shortcuts. Why? It'll look more ergonomic.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] charkosh:
(Non-live) Wallpapers disappeared after install.

Great app/mod it makes my nexus one experience complete :)

AFter installing this for some reason all of my normal wallpapers disappeared. I only have the option of black and the grey squares.

Anyone else have this problem?

Any idea how to fix?

Thank you.

Also MINUS one for the old style app drawer. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BlueScreenJunky:
It's already been discussed a few pages back : Wallpapers were removed to save some space. Just download them and add them manually (the link to download is also somewhere in the topic).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psylink:
I'll post it up when I'm home, out for lunch
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] htcmagic:
I would buy it, please make a standalone home replacement.

I would like 7 screens with live wallpapers.

People without root will benefit too.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] oldblue:
Is there any we this can be ported over to the droid as an APK? I have been wanting something similar to this on the droid for a very long time. I know the cyanogenMOD allows this to work for the droid, but I would rather stay on my BB 0.7 rom and install this onto it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
I actually would rather see this stay as-is.

....

For whatever reason, be it the kernel I'm using, the live wallpaper I'm using...my phone became quite unstable as soon as I installed this. Perhaps reflashing and seeing if a clean slate helps may be in order. I'm liking the idea of having docked icons...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
So artcu/@ruqqq, do you plan on doing this? I love this mod but am not a fan of the shortcuts. It's fun for a little while but I always end up reverting back to default. Hell I'll pay for you to add in an option for default page dots.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
This is so sick!

I just had to upload a few themed home pages to show off this beautiful MOD!!!

Theme is O)))) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614978

Usisng Metamorph packs to theme the launcher2....remeber to reset home screen in the applications menu to eliminate FC's and NANDROID b4 anything!!!.....Thanks for the great MOD!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zodduska:
x2 please make an option without shortcuts. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jz9833:
Just use version 3.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Part Four:
I get frequent Launcher Force Closes. The Launcher restarts immediately, so the only annoyance is a quick prompt and tap on the screen, but it's a bit of a bother. Going to wipe, reflash, and push this mod back to my phone and see if it clears up.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frandavid100:
I will pay you for that too. I do like the shortcuts but I would like the chance to revert when / if they get old.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drpfenderson:
Weather forecast widget donate

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_...ather/weather-forecast-widget-donate_tzm.html

Exactly. I love the N1-style app show/hide grid. Also, I like being able to just TAP the grid rather than SLIDE the drawer up. It's a functionality thing. Don't want to go back to my G1 days. :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Now please tell me why I would do that? 0.5 has better homescreen rotation (it's faster and more smooth) and velocity scrolling seems to be even better. Next time please think and consider before answering :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psylink:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/2ziuz0jwg0x/Launcher2.Android.AppsIcon.rar

unrar file

open Launcher2.apk in winrar (do not extract, just open with winrar)

drag/drop the 3 files into res/drawable-hdpi/

just replaced all_apps_button_focused.png all_apps_button_normal.png and all_apps_button_pressed.png

then push the apk as you normally would in the install directions of launcher2.apk and you'll have the little android

(sorry, like to be thorough on instructions :D )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jz9833:
Why would you do that? Well it gives you the dots back. ;)

You should seriously ask yourself though, how big of a man does insulting someone on the internet make you look? :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Looking good but perhaps replace the camera icon in your apk with a high res one - would look better in your dock IMHO.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
And:

Full screen App Menu

3-7 Screens

Auto Orientation

Quick Shortcuts

App Menu = Sliding Drawer

Double Tap screen for Previews

*Probably* faster
​

By "Full screen app menu" I thought you meant no notification bar and perhaps another row of icons if they would fit. But certainly not a regression to the old style draw. I like the grid icon, fly-in animations and the cube scrolling. lol; that you kept these was the second reason I went with Launcher2!

The first reason I went with Launcher2 was the shortcuts, I know it's not on your list but it's being discussed - please keep them, they're what makes it stand out from the crowd.

The rest I will happily try out!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
I love this launcher!!!:)

Only, I wish I could replace the icons at the bottom easily :(

I created 2 new icons, dialer & messaging....but when I try to replace with better cut, it jumps back to original icon...so I am trying it the wrong way, right?!

Cause, I want them to have a similar style at the bottom....

Attached screenshot is photoshop, as I would like to have it :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Part Four:
NO NO NO NO. Don't go to a sliding app drawer. DO NOT! Please. Why would you do this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
YES YES YES, a version with old drawer!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Part Four:
Why the hell would you want to go back to an old look? The 3D cube app drawer is awesome, and I see no benefit to reverting. The sliding drawer looks old and outdated. It's lame.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
I've just gone through this process.

EDIT: This does not apply for Google apps (well it might but I don't know, I've not tried it). I know nothing about how Google sign their apps or authenticate their validity or even use /system/app

Extract the icons that you want from the source apk (or have them available) in the appropriate size in png format.

Copy the target apk (the app you want to put the new icon in) to your pc and open it with 7Zip or similar

Find the icon you want to replace in /res/drawable-hdpi or /res/drawable

Rename your source icon to the same name as the icon file in the apk and replace the one in the apk

Delete the /META-INF folder in the root of the apk

Resign the apk. Use test keys if you like, keys and (Windows) script are here: http://www.mediafire.com/?yw24z5m4yya - you need the jre installed but you'll probably already have that - java.exe somewhere.

Uninstall the original app from your phone.

Reinstall the new, signed version.

Consequence - you will get update notifications from the market but every time you upgrade the app you'll need to modify the new one. A modified version will not install over a stock version and vice versa (unless you have the developer's keys).

Have fun.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] clustered:
how do I enter the configure screen?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Menu button when you're on a home screen
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psylink:
The menu button and then configure
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] whoa718:
i use the SUFBS APP and delete launcher2 then copy n paste the new launcher2 to the system/app then restart launcher and it works fine and i don't have too delete anything off the screen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Thanx for the explanation!!!

No update is bad, but, as I only want that for "dialer&messaging", i dont expect any updates here...

But: when I do this, I will loose my original "dial&messaging" icons, right?! - I cant have them, like on my screenshot then...original on the screen and my own at the bottom...that´s bad!

Cause I love the bottom bar, I only want a nice "one-style-look"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
You are correct, it's one or the other but there is a workaround. You could change the icons for the dock and then use Better Cut for the desktop icons, reverting to norm with the Andorid20icons icon pack from the market.

All said and done, you'll want to confirm you can actually do this with system apps (I edited my original post). I don't know if you can. I suppose if you do a nandroid backup first you could always try and let me know! :)

PS - try NubDial and HandCent if you can't change they icons in the system apps - both are excellent alternatives to the native apps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bluedragon1982:
will this mod works an an G1/MT3G running any 2.1 rom?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Lass3:
Is it possibleto get like thestock keyboard, swipe down to close?

Anyhow, awesome work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
The workaround is a nice idea, thanx!!:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] b1337:
old app drawer is faster!!! right doc!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Hmm just get a black screen on droid, I see my LWP flash for a second and that is it. I will play around and see if I can get it to work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] serialtoon:
Sadly, i was kind of hoping you would have included the font style as well. looks really clean.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
will update Launcher2 soon. stay tune! :D

meanwhile, donators, i've just dropped the launcher with the old handle bar. please test it for me? especially droid users since they're the main audience. will release it to public in 1 day if everything goes well. ^_^
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GNOve:
i cant install market apps with this launcher anybody else have this problem?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
The old style launcher wont install, either by adb or by update.zip.

Thanks for your work :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
Old style launcher should be installed by adb install or package manager. Sorry if I'm unclear.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BlueScreenJunky:
It works fine.

I don't like it but it works ^^;
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
No worries.

And I've actually discovered that through some act of magic I still get Market notifications for these apps. I don't know how because they're side-loaded and signed with different keys... normally side-loaded apps don't get market notifications. And since you must uninstall the original first I can't work this one out.

Still can't upgrade over the top though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
No problems here. Any error messages?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Silly question, since this probably isn't meant to work with Desire ROMs anyway, but: I pushed the thing, cleared defaults so I could use Launcher instead of Sense (since in theory, that should work), but... the screen just flickers repeatedly, giving me brief glimpses of my wallpaper. That's it. No force-closes or anything.

I suppose I'd be better off trying this again when/if I flash either CM's or Enomther's ROMs?

EDIT: disregard me, someone already addressed this screen flashing a few pages back.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
hmm. honestly, i have no idea what causes the screen flashing. what does logcat tells you?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Got it running, would not start in the latest leaked rom.

One small graphic issue tho: The icons in app bar is placed very low in the screen.

And it would be nice to have the down appdrawer icon.

But so far, very speedy :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
wow? won't start. dang. why didn't you get a logcat! :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Naa don't stress, the Android is just resisting... It's saying "I have a new coat, I don't want to wear my old coat!" :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
I'm dumb and don't know how to filter logcat, so I'm sorry about subjecting you to the whole clusterfuck, but here's a pastebin.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
@grainysand

read your logcat. weirdly, i believe the launcher2 base I used depends on a newer version of android. boo! try my HelixLauncher instead. Should fix a hell lot of problems. :P
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Yeah, I expect it doesn't work due to the Desire ROM. Thanks for the reply, will give your other launcher a try. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gdskp:
Request:

Add theme for the bottom bar such as Espresso style:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
have thought of that. isn't easy to implement hence it's not in my priority list. sorry!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Legacystar:
so what would need to be changed to get this to run on say, petes 2.1 rom. i like the helix launcher but really want the 3d app tray
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frishmans92:
Does this not work with the Droid ES53? I tried it, and got constant FC's.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kamikazimonky:
just started using this with bakegood 1.0.1 and wow i love this launcher super fast and smooth and yay you keep the 3d sweet very nice.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
After playing with your Helix Launcher 1.0, I do like the more responsive app tray. However the graphic for the tray button is dull. If you do incorporate the full screen tray into the mod, I would suggest using the newer Nexus graphic. I Know this is really a moot point since I can just change the image myself. But, some people might be more inclined to use it if the icon on their home screen were the same that they have grown accustomed too on their Nexus One. I'd like to try out a version of the replacement launcher that incorporates the full screen tray, I like how quick it was to scroll, and that it had an extra row off apps visible.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
Your request have been fulfilled. ;) See HelixLauncher thread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irishrally:
I am using your latest launcher on my N1 via bakedgoods 1.01. My home screen is shifted two screens to the right. I cannot access the screen two to the left from where my home screen should be. I tried deleting all shortcuts/widgets but I couldn't get to the far left screen so I could not delete a widget on that screen. I tried reflashing and it did not work.

I know wipe then reflash is the answer but I'm hoping there is a less tedious way.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
you should follow the instructions on OP. App Data should be cleared before installing my mod.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irishrally:
Fixed. Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
Sorry, I thought by posting here you'd realize I meant I wanted to (eventually) see the full screen app tray with the newer graphics in this version of launcher2... I have no real interest in using a second launcher, so your Helix Launcher isn't incredibly enticing to me. I was really only checking it out to see how the different tray worked.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MYxdaUSERNAME:
just wanted to say thanks again for this amazing launcher...its what i've wanted on my phone since i first knew what a launcher2 was...usin it with cyanogen 5.0.4.2 for droid and im in love.

posted mine in the screenshot thread...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BlueScreenJunky:
OK I'm confused here. Has HelixLauncher superceeded Launcher2, or will you continue to work on Launcher2/HelixLauncher2 ? Because I must say I don't really like the idea of going back to the 1.6 style apptray :-/

PS : off topic but...

Where did you get cyanogen 5.0.4.2 ? o_O
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MYxdaUSERNAME:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/forum/37-motorola-droid/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BlueScreenJunky:
Oh OK thanx

(running a Nexus though, I forgot about the Droid ^^)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
koush's rom already includes my Launcher2 mod so you shouldn't need to install anything.

and again, no, HelixLauncher doesn't superceeds anything. Launcher2 is my default launcher. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
UPDATES UPDATES! PROGRESS UPDATES!

1. Added double tap for Previews

2. *suspense drum* readded the screen dots! QuickShortcuts fans, don't kill me first! Look at screenies. ;)

Hope some of you dots lovers would love this option! ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zeboo:
Love your last two posts! Where to download the new update?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
relax! not yet.. i wanna see if i can fix that irritating default icon problem.. i wanna make you guys able to use bettercut custom icons.. if everything goes on well, will drop it for donators first. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zeboo:
Ok.I so wanna donate, but have no money :S I have just enough money to buy food for the rest of the month :S
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
don't sacrifice like that man... just be patient first!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ggrant3876:
Nice work, you make me want to adopt you. I am using the .5, if I change to the helix do I need to do anything special. Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
haha. :P

hmm.. be more specific? helixlauncher or helixlauncher2?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
looks great! very impressed:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Uff, this sounds great :) so perhaps you can realy make this - hope you succeed!!!!!!

Would be awesome to have a nice layout of your choice, down at the bottom!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ggrant3876:
The one in your new screenshot, not sure which one it is. I like the one with the new N1 tray not the old style.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Part Four:
Donated! Thanks for your great work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
helixlauncher2 i guess. in that case, the launcher2 won't be replaced. it'll work along side with it.

--

anyway, thanks for the donation guys, i'll send out the emails soon. working on the icon thingy.. so far, i get to retrieve the custom icon. but, it needs to be stored somewhere and can't use the prefs anymore. using sql would be quite complicated. anyone has any idea of how to use the sqlite db easily to put and retrieve data? :/

EDIT: Okay, I just got a beneficial workaround. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
Trying to install this, fairly new to mod/root.

Nexus one is rooted with CM5

on your instructions to "adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk "

i get "failed to copy 'Launcher2.apk' to '/system/app/Launcher2.apk': Read-only file system

As a side note, the file downloaded was named "Launche2_0.5.apk" and when i tried it as is, i got a file not found type message. when i renamed that file to "Launcher2.apk" so the command line would work i got that error above. I also tried by adjusteing the command line to the downloaded file name ("Launcher2_0.5.apk") with the same results, the read only file system.

Any help here would be appreciated.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
run: adb remount

Thank god! Finally! :D

Yes! That's right! Custom icons! ;)

Now, I'm tired... Goodnight world!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
Goodnight!! :cool:

Can't wait to customize even more with this!! :D

THANKS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK!! MUCH APPRECIATED!! :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
adb remount did the trick. im sorry i asked a repeat question on the thread, i posted the question without reading all the pages.

I went and read the pages and on page 8 or so i found the adb remount thing did it, worked great, and went to delete my question, but you frackers are quick. lol

Thank you for the super quick response, and again, sorry for asking a repeat question.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
I'm looking forward to the release!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Liquid A1

Hello everybody...

No matter what I do, I always get a black flashing screen, so it must be a framework problem. I'm running an Acer Liquid A1 device with the 2.1 Eclair leak on it. Could some changes be made to the source so that liquid users can use it? Or is it simply a quick fix in the .apk's XMLs?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zeboo:
It is on N1 as well... It might be a lagg.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lolittle:
This is a great mod!! Love it :)

One killer feature that could be added is the auto moving of items on the screen, for example if you was to add a widget and place it onto of another it would move the other one below it or above so that widget could go in its place.

Thats the only thing i hate about android, the fact i have to delete things to move things, kinda sucks :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
Doesn't work on old 2.1 builds. :/ Try HelixLauncher instead. Almost same features.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SS2006:
it disspears whenever I turn off my phone and back on

normal? then I have to install again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
nope. it's not normal. your ROM must have included a script to replace Launcher2 on boot.

EDIT: changed rule of donations. i'll only allow access to the repository if its $5 and above -- i've too many $1 donations which with PayPal turns to $0.60. And these $1 floods my list of ppl who get access to repo ... it's getting big.

EDIT: oh ya. i dropped beta1 to donator's repo. ;)

EDIT: but it's the standalone version - HelixLauncher2; easier to test. doesn't interfere with your default launcher
