Go try the ADW Launcher. it let you customize how many row and column for menu apps display. (from 1 to 6, up to your choices)

Current version is 0.7beta7. It is pretty smooth and stable, disable the auto rotate function will prevent the FC issue occur.

good day

i have had helix launcher 2 for a while now,

but i can't seem to get screens as shown in the first post...

is there some mod i have to download additional from the market?

i am on enom rom 1.9.1

cheers
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] seanerixon:
Thanks, looks promising! Hope there's more updates to it soon, as well as to Helix.

EDIT:

This is what I feel would consist of probably the best home replacement..

-The smooth scrolling sensation between screens, from Launcher Pro(BETA).

-Ability to hide apps from drawer, from PandaHome.

-Also the customizable options from PandaHome.

-The shortcut dock from Helix.

-Endlessly loop of scrolling through screen from Home++.

-A prettier looking drawer used from ADW Launcher.

-Live Wallpaper support, of course!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
just dropped 0.8BETA1 to donators repo. basically the recent changes on HL1 ported to HL2. ;)

- FPS Counter

- Panel Jump feature

- Wallpaper Panning Option

- Ported Donut Wallpaper Mechanism; Static Wallpapers now will give you great speed boost (thanks @anderwebs for helping!)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
hl-1 1.4B don't works on milestone (at least for me).

signifies that the new hl-2 also don't works on milestone?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
it probably doesn't work cause it requires 2.1. ;)

it works on my milestone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
hi,

i have 2.1, but HL-1 1.4B don't works, or works with continuous FC...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] illithid:
Tried it, and this too still suffers from the same issue, although not as frequent as Helix1 did.

Will FC immediately or after a while when swiping through screens, opening the app drawer or pressing the menu button.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Whoooooooot! :)

Will report back.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
How do you enable the static wallpaper?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Err... by not using a live wallpaper?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
nice try at smartassedness but a static wallpaper is one that NEVER moves...even when u swipe screens...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] illithid:
Surprisingly this version of Helix2 works as fast as Helix1 on my Milestone, the performance between both version are more or less the same. With previous version my device often hangs or reset by itself, even with live wallpaper turned off.

If the FC problem is fixed the next version this will be the greatest launcher app out there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Well, I wasn't trying to be a smartass... non-live wallpapers are officially called static wallpapers so I assumed that was the reference. I've not heard of the type you're referring to.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
tou-muthafluckin-che

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:

No worries.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
This new v8 also breaking the status bar semi transparent support :-(

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Part Four:
0.8 Beta is a decent improvement. The 3D app drawer is much faster now, but now it's not full screen (status bar still shows). Also, it still doesn't have the Leap feature, which makes it less attractive than Launcher Pro. Home screen swiping is a bit faster, but still not as fast as Launcher Pro.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KennyCHF:
Will the donator get the updated version that support dount ?

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] illithid:
You can double tap the screen to leap between screens.

----------------------------------------------------
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Part Four:
What do you mean? It's not the Sense UI Leap, it's the standard Nexus/2.1 style. The same thing can be acheived by long-pressing on the app drawer button. There's no need to double-tap the screen. Either way, it's not what I'm looking for, and it's not what Faruq claimed was in the plans.

Also, please turn off your Tapatalk signature. There's no need for it. Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikef1182:
I too would like to see the pinch to zoom leap feature. It works really well with Launcher Pro.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
+1 it's a great implementation, would love to see it here.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] volcomdesigns:
Not compatible with G1?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Marine6680:
Seems the 2.2 update has killed this app. I hope it gets an update soon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
+1 including me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Launcher pro still works =)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sirjoeyg:
**** man, I ran my update to Froyo 2.2 now all I get is a continuous "helixlauncher2 forceclose" screen. I can't access anything else on my phone!!!!!!

Any advice????? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Trying to avoid "wipe data/factory reset if at all possible.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sirjoeyg:
Nevermind guys fixed it. Thank God for Advanced Task Killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
i'm using HelixLauncher and it works on Froyo, so maybe this will work as well

this is what i did, select HelixLauncher, configured the screen, then reboot
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jsanta11:
I just downloaded the donated version of Helix 2 ( loving it snappy and perfect so far) I was wondering if anyone who knows how modify the push effect color which is orange by default.. If someone can change the the push effect color to either green ( like the sense color) or cyan... Since the INC isn't rooted yet I can't use metamorph. Also posted here cause I see there's more action then the Inc forum.. If $$ is needed let me know . Oh I also have the apk ( which am sure its going to be needed)..

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheOriginalKi:
I have an issue with 960x800 wallpapers being displayed incorrectly. I'm using 3 home screens and some of the wallpaper is outside the screen view, making it looked cropped. I'm using HelixLauncher 1 at the moment as this doesn't have the same problem.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JaydenR:
Arctu tweeted about colaborating with AnderWebs. Sounds promising.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bpm2000:
can someone post the stock apk for the launcher? I didn't back up mine and I get FCs on every reboot. (searched but didnt find much)

thx
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Stock cm 5071 launcher? If so grab the second zip in the Kang-o-rama thread and flash from recovery.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bpm2000:
thank you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thepawn:
if you are using the market-installed version and froyo updated into the FC's, just run the following ADB command:

./adb uninstall com.helixproject.launcher2
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Fadelight:
Any updates on how Helix2 is coming along for compatibility with Froyo?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jeffjano:
HelixLauncher2 - Froyo

I was wondering the same thing. I am not a fan of the other launchers. Hopefully it wont take long until HL2 will work with froyo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Fadelight:
Yeah, I hate the other launchers. My biggest gripe, albeit probably not a big deal to others, is the fact that none of the other launchers work with my transparent statusbar. The wallpaper ends below the statusbar, so all I see is black. :( I also miss all the other little toys and features with helix2.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NewAngel:
Hy everybody,

Under Helixlauncher 2 I haven't the same list of widget than helix launcher 1.

I've an Acer Liquid and with this phone Acer provide a good widget Media Player (rotative widget). My problem is widget exist under Helix Launcher, but doesn't appear in the list of widget of Helix Launcher 2.

An idea please to add this application?

Thanks NewAngel
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] n3oS7oRm:
Landscape mode.

Was this item requested for HelixLauncher2? I don't really see a need for it. It should be like the SenseUI where it does not auto-rotate from Portrait to Landscape.

Other than that right now still testing the newest version. I love the launcher it appears to be better than Launcher Pro. A lot of my widgets went missing after installing HelixLauncher2, but I believe I read that it might have corrupted them and I need to reinstall them?

This is good stuff though, keep up the good work everyone!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pcmike:
I have a bone stock Nexus One and I downloaded HelixLauncher2 0.7, but everytime I actually try to use it (via home button) it just force closes. I thought this launcher was ONLY suppose to work with N1? What am I doing wrong? :o

EDIT: I guess I just found out why..... it hasn't been updated for Froyo. Oh well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] n3oS7oRm:
I found the option to turn of Landscape mode, great minds think a like. Great work on the launcher!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] amenemhet1:
Any new HelixLauncher2 updates for Android 2.2?

hey I recently got the Android 2.2 upgrade which now crashes HelixLauncher2.0.7. I would like to make another donation if the update is released shortly. This is the best launcher ever! Droid 2.2
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
I think this project is dead.

You may try others launcher which is as great as Helix or even better:

LauncherPro

ADW.Launcher

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] denimjunkie82:
I haven't tried this yet, but put me on the list of people who would absolutely love customizable numbers of home screens. 7 is kinda overkill for me, and i think the default 5 is perfect. Thanks for your work on this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Worsty:
why don't you just download the update.zip and flash it in recovery?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
had a bug but not sure i it has been mentioned- i pushed across this launcher and when i booted up it had the 7 screens but it had 3 blank ones on the right (so it lost 1 of my screens- the left hand side one)... when i was on the furtherest left side that this launcher would let me i could pull the screen to the right to see the furtherest left from the previous launcher but when i let go of the screen it jumps back to the second screen.

i didnt clear preferences but will wait for preferences tbh...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Worsty:
The solution was retified in some earlier post.

Go settings/applications then click on menu filter , check all , select launcher then clear data.

Issue solved. Although you'll have to manually do up your widgets again.

Hope this helps!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frandavid100:
Thanks a lot for this, keeps the feeling of the original launcher but works much better for me.

These are the suggestions I would like to make. Didn't read the 11 pages, so sorry if some of them have already been proposed:

-I like how the screen "bounces" when you're at screen 1 or 7, and try to scroll. Could we have the same effect when you scroll really hard? E.g. you're on screen 3 and scroll left really fast, so screen 2 appears and there is a slight bounce effect.

-When the screen is horizontal, the launcher names kind of make the screen look cluttered. Since the icons are more than enough to identify the launcher, would it be possible to only show them and remove the banners? I think that would make the whole thing look much cleaner.

-The top "dots" are justified to the left, touching the top-right launcher, but the bottom dots are justified to the right. Everything would look more symetric if all of them were justified to the right.

-When you click the launcher button, the home button appears from the left and crosses the whole screen. It would be much better to have it appear from the right so it would be less noticeable.

I think that's all for now, I hope this gets included by default in Cyanogen's rom because it's fantastic, really.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
great work on this!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] htcmagic:
Could this be compiled as a standalone home replacement for people without root?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tokyomonster:
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
New version coming along nicely:

- Free set screen size, from 1 to 7. ;)

- Option to turn of auto rotate

..

Thinking about custom app to replace the dots... would it be good enough to just have the icons sticked there?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
Browser and Phone would be great to replace the dots. :)

Great work!! :cool: This is moving alone nicely!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] adam18488:
'pinch to view' the cards, like on the desire!:eek: i really dont know what more i would need in life...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
Another vote for browser and phone icons instead of the dots. However, they should pull the icons from your current tray so they utilize whatever theme you have.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frandavid100:
But please keep that as an option, I do like the dots!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] iDance°-->ra1n:
help!

when i do "adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk"

i report this error: failed to copy 'Launcher2.apk' to '/system/app/Launcher2.apk': Read-only file system
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
adb remount.

use the update.zip method by david if you do not want to go the manual route.

clear launcher application data afterwards.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] masse1369:
adb devices

adb remount

adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk

;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mayday_XL:
Please phone + contacts icons instead of the dots. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
sorry.. can't retain dots. they're troublesome anyway. :x

alright guys, current progress:

sadly, the applications are hardcoded for now. :(

though, the icons aren't. so if you theme your icons, it'll appear themed.

comments?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] metalhead8816:
I would like to see the applications not hard-coded because I use Handcent instead of the stock app. Also I am sure not everyone will agree with the app placement.

I am LOVING the four apps on the bottom though. Great work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Wow, wonderful!

Nice progress :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mayday_XL:
100% agree. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tokyomonster:
Yes! Fantastic!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Oooh, I really like it, though I won't be trying this for a while as I'm using Desire. Sometimes I wish I could dual-boot different ROMs. That aside, though, it's an excellent use of space and about the only thing I missed from home++.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikebeatrice:
Yea.. I agree. It looks awesome, but I wouldn't be using it if those were the four apps. Wish there was an easy way to have it as options you select from your new options screen in 0.3, but I have no clue how difficult of a task that is.

Personally, if I could configure it however I wanted, I'd probably go with Phone, Camera, Gmail and Browser. Maybe I'm the only one like this, but I really don't think I'd need the market on every single screen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jz9833:
Anyway you could hardcode Dailer One in there instead of the default phone app?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
i'm not going to release the hard coded version. no worries. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
No problem, your choice of apps is perfect :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Hey guys...

I've been lurking for a while, I've been hanging around modaco for a while...

Anyways, I tried your auto-rotating launcher2 app, and on my Acer Liquid (running 2.1 Eclair - has same hardware as nexus), I just get a black screen, no rotate, no home, no launcher. Is there some sort of cache I need to delete? I just overwrote the default Launcher2.apk

Thanks in advance.

By the way... the 2.1 AOSP Nexus One launcher2.apk works fine...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tokyomonster:
You can try going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Hit menu, select 'filter', then select show all, find launcher, click it, then hit clear data.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frandavid100:
That's a shame, I don't think I'll be using the launcher then, I the dots is something I really like :-(

Would it be possible to release an alternative launcher, even if it's with only the performance improvements and the ability to choose the number of spaces? I love how snappy this home feels...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
After that, my screen just flashes and I get a brief view of the wallpaper...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prophetjinn:
Question might have been answered, but is there a way to change screens from 7 to 5?

I just personally don't have use for 7 screens. I saw the menu item under preferences but it's grayed out and i can't change it.

I've tried clearing the cache in applications for the launcher and rebooting but that didn't work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. =)

Edit: Nvm, i read up, it's coming in the next release, can't wait to see your progress! Great job man!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ilanad:
This may not be possible, but could you change the name.. like 'launcher2+' so us unrooted folks could install it as a normal apk? (I've see others done that way)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chronzz:
sneak peak
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
perhaps, i'll try to make it non-root compatible when i have time.

@chronzz:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] manup456:
Nice look bro want to add this to my NexTHEME if its cool also the only issue I seen with the last version and sorry guys if this has been said is the gallery does not work. That was the only real issue I had seen.

How to maintain icon

I have a question, if I install the latest launcher, do I still maintain all the previous icon I had setup on all five screens? Or, after the new launcher is push, I'll need to setup all the icon/shortcut/widget again?

Is there any way to backup my current setting and restore it back after the new launcher is push to the system?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
I don't recall anyone saying anything about the gallery not working... if they did, they might be wrong. Because, mine works fine.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikebeatrice:
if you're coming from the stock launcher, you're going to have to do some reconfiguring. if you're coming from v0.2, everything will stay as-is.

I wasn't able to find a way to import the settings from one launcher to the other.. maybe someone else had better luck. it really only took a couple of minutes to get my widgets and icons back to where I wanted them.. no big deal
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ringolrh:
Got it, thks from it info :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
any kind soul wanna donate money to me? i'm in need of it. :( (and thanks chronzz for his generous donation!) i'll let the donator have the latest unreleased version. any amount counts!

i shall put up the donator names on the first post when i release the next public version. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MYxdaUSERNAME:
quick question, will this work on 2.0.1 roms? im using the launcher from cyanogen 5.0.4.1 right now and it works fine...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
i have no idea. why not you try? if fail, just adb push cyan apk back.

just remembered. it won't work. the launcher2 uses libs and some stuffs which only exists in android 2.1.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MYxdaUSERNAME:
if it's only 2.1 that's fine, a launcher2 and a metamorph theme are all thats keeping me from moving to 2.1 anyway...i just wanna use this new launcher already!
