@ggrant3876

yup. you're right. does the dot appear even when you're not dragging anything?

@mikebeatrice

haha. bite me. you have no idea how many times I've to read the items on my screen just because I need to do adb push when I dev this thing. :P

Was thinking of putting it up. But I'm wondering if people would push me away for that. You know.. money = evil. Hence, I'm just considering putting up only for donationware.. i.e. same version if also available for free.

NINJA EDIT: @rimrocka0834 Live Wallpapers works fine. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ggrant3876:
No just when dragging, also I'm not sure what I did but all 7 screen previews were showing, it was on the bottom with no shortcuts. This will make a nice paid app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
Long press the All Apps button (the middle one in between the shortcuts). Written on the first page. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
thanks, for great work :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
just sent out an email to donators. as promised, the standalone version or rather, access to the private repository. ;)

EDIT: updated first post too!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stewart1988:
Standalone ****Launcher2 works great :)

Thanks! ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonym4n:
Mikebeatrice, i'm having force close loop, how to use adb to wipe?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] robiatti:
arctu,

Thanks for the Kick A$$ launcher. Works wonderfully..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
@stewart1988:

shhh! you're not supposed to say out the name! :P

i didn't get to fully test it out. inform me if there's bugs. ;)

@sonym4n: see the first post. there's the instruction there. do the first line.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BlueScreenJunky:
Donation sent ^^

(on my way to donate to cyan now...)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonym4n:
@arctu: Thx, but still having force close loop, i'm not worry coz i have done nandroid backup, but i'm curious where did i go wrong?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
@BlueScreenJunky: sent you email. ;)

@sonym4n: send me a logcat? thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonym4n:
@arctu: sorry i'm newbie, how to find logcat?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
adb logcat

paste it to pastebin.com. then pass me the url pastebin gave you. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonym4n:
@arctu: I've paste a logcat, waiting for next instructions, thank you very much
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
pasted to pastebin.com? you need to give me a link.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] denimjunkie82:
i'm at work currently so i cant try this out, but if we don't want shortcuts on the bottom is there an option to keep the little dots? I can't wait to get home and test this out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chronzz:
no you cant have the little dots with or without shortcuts
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonym4n:
@arctu: i'm really sorry, here you go http://pastebin.com/y1ew60Q1
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
@sonym4n: sorry, i can't figure out the problem you're having. try redownloading the apk? besides that, what rom are you running?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonym4n:
@arctu: I'm running stock EPE54B, guess i should go to latest CM?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
question.

Could someone tell me what this does

adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.android.launcher2

(I know it recursively deletes that folder)

C:\>adb shell ls -l /data/data/com.android.launcher2
drwxrwx--x 1 app_29 app_29 2048 Mar 10 11:28 databases
drwxrwx--x 1 app_29 app_29 2048 Mar 9 15:10 files
drwxr-xr-x 1 system system 2048 Mar 9 15:07 lib

I suspect I will lose all my shortcuts, widgets etc... correct?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SoCalMiles:
running this on Koush's CyanogenMod Rom on the Droid...and I've got to say WHAT AN AMAZING JOB!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jrbourque:
This is def badass....good work on this....it gave me the android butterflies again when installing
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] firehawkws7:
Freaking sweet mod! I have only 1 suggestion, allow the customization of the shortcut icons. I say talk to Cyanogen about putting it into his rom.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Great work man...update is really nice. But, I'd still like an option to get the page dots back...is that possible? I actually use those to change pages every so often and don't care for the shortcuts
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] denimjunkie82:
+1 on this. It would certainly let the launcher keep a "default" feel to it, which I'm sure lots would appreciate. It might help sway Cyan to include it into his ROM too, since I think he likes to keep his ROMs feeling "default", allowing the user to customize afterwards rather than a forced customization.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chronzz:
you will have to reapply all your widgets and so on
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chronzz:
install v.3 and you have your dots back
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Awesome! Was hesitant ...but I'm really glad I tried it out!:D Now I have waaaay too many screen! LoL. I only used 3 of the original 5 before...now I have 2 extra! CooL!

I may not even need to use 3 anymore since I can have icons on the bottom row!:eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
cool.

I did a

adb shell mv /data/data/com.android.launcher2 /data/data/com.android.launcher2.bak

Instead of a delete just in case I need to go back later.

I could add a shortcut to my 'apps organizer' starred apps folder to the quick launch bar....awesome. thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] illmaticone:
First off, i love what you done with the launcher.. simply amazing keep it up!

when using the launcher sometimes (not often) the text is not lined up properly.. im using droid w/ Koush mod.. any suggestions?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] metalhead8816:
SICK Mod. Love the four shortcuts at the bottom. Keep up the great work!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
That is not a solution at all smart one. The version jus changed up to 0.5 why would anyone go back. It's not difficult to add an option to have no shortcuts and original page dots. PLUS, I like 0.5 better because orientation is smoother and I can use 5 pages instead of 7. I just want to have the option to keep it default when I get sick of the shortcuts
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] denimjunkie82:
that's true, but v.3 also means loss of the new auto-rotate disable and choice of number of screens too. It'd be great if a final version allows choice for all of these perks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uberingram:
I lost all my standard wallpapers. Rebooting to see if they come back.

Edit: Yup, it definitely broke them.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
If anyone is missing their wallpapers (they were removed to reduce the apk size I gather), here are the ones from CyanogenMOD Opt3.

http://www.mediafire.com/?hv2mmutfcwz (14.3MB, 33 files)

Anyone know how to make these show up in the wallpaper selection activity?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Man...can't wait 'til you implement the pinch to see all homescreens like the desire. With so many homescreens...I think that would be the icing on the cake!;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uberingram:
That requires HTC framework
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uberingram:
You'd have to unpack Launcher2 and put them back into the drawable folder.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frandavid100:
Good work on the new update arctu, I wasn't going to use it because of it not having the dots but I have to admit it's pretty sweet.

If I can suggest an improvement, it would be great if you could drag launchers FROM the shortcut line to other places, instead of just be offered a "do you want to remove the launcher?" message. That way you could:

-Drag launchers to other dot in order to rearrange them.

-Drag launchers to the trash icon in order to remove them.

-Drag launchers to the normal screen in order to turn them into normal shortcuts.

Also, the green dots should be white until you drag a launcher to it (same as the trash icon turns red when you drag something to it). And it would be great to be able to uninstall an app by dragging it straight from the launcher to the trash icon. There was an app replacement that did it, but I can't remember which one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
On second thought its a good thing that it saves space in /Data. (can always use B&B Gallery and set the wallpaper from there.)

Anything to make me push off enabling apps2sd is good :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Thanx for the wallpaper,.. just in case....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ggrant3876:
Yeah Thanks for the walls, I picked out 4 or 5 that I missed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xvenom89:
Same issue, but I'm trying it on my Droid. Any Droid user success?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
amazing work here:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chicojd:
Just loaded this onto my Droid with Koush's 1.02 ROM. VERY NICE!!! Thanks dude!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] atlbuc:
Yea I'm running this on Koush's ROM also, very smooth haven't had a problem yet.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rimrocka0834:
simply amazing

I have been using this since 10am ... no crashes and everything works great. Amazing job!! Thank you for all your hard work! What do you have planed for .6?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
just simply amazing how this is working
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] The Jones:
Home++ does that. This kicks Home++'s ass though
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] detox702:
This is amazing. I'm not sure how I haven't seem this thread before. I love this launcher. Thanks to all involved.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
so far so good- been running it since about 10min after ruqqq posted it (took me 10min to theme it :D )..

Just donated mate. 3B483398GE616722K

thanks for this awesome app- tbh i reckon a free version and a donate version on the market is best. plus have it free here for those of us who have donated :P
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nemphys:
Nice work!

All I can say is WOW! This is one of the best mods I've seen on Android...

Been using the latest version on CM 5.0.4.1 with no problems!

Keep up the good work!

Btw. the font is ADORABLE! CM should include this as a default in the next release...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] memorylasts:
Dont know if anyone has mentioned this but once i flash this v0.5 I cannot get all the way over to the left homescreen...anyone else expience this? I have played with screen #'s and all other settings i could think of without getting into the code.

Good Work and keep it up!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stewart1988:
Been using the standalone version all day and only had one FC! It messed up all the labels for the apps in the drawer but a restart and haven't had any problems yet.

That FC happened when I changed the number of screens from 7 to 3 and then back to 7 and then rotating after adding my widgets...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chronzz:
you can get the font from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5829940&postcount=171
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] soundwave9999:
i have the same problem, when i scroll to the left it doesnt stay put. so now i app on the left screen that i cant take off. its a lil bit anoying.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
Make sure you did a clear data. Instructions on first post.

@stewart1988

It's a known bug with landscape. If your launcher just restarted and you had never open apps view in portrait, the font alignment will messed up. A restart of the launcher easily fixes this. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] noodles12:
First time using this with the landscape rotation.

Mine kind of blinks before it rotates. Is this normal or is it suppose to be a smooth rotation like how the browser behaves?

(I am running a metamorph theme and pushed this launcher over it. Not sure if this affects anything. Don't know how to "turn off" the theme)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] soundwave9999:
180 degree rotation on home screen!!!

how cool is this, the home screen rotates all around!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drpfenderson:
Actually, it IS a bit difficult to add in something like that. If you would read through the thread you will see that it is an issue that arctu has already looked at. I'm sure that it is something that the dev is looking in to.

Until then, you can still hold the menu grid to quick-switch to a screen. Is it because you forget which screen you are on?

arctu - Been using this all day and I can say for sure - WOW. Thank you so much for this. I've been trying to figure out a solution to my shortcut problem, and this is it. Helps my anxiety about not having a phone or camera button now.

Now I have phone, browser, my own camera app, and messaging all within reach. <3 And if I get sick of an app, at any time I can just swap it out. Brilliant! I hated those dots anyway...useless bits.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prophetjinn:
For those having problems with getting to the icons on a far left or right screen, try clearing the cache of launcher2 in app manager. If you don't see it, hit menu then filter all.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pootklopp:
somewhat new here

Hello all, first I want to say this is amazing, second I would like to ask for some help. I am running a moto droid with koush's 2.1 rom, so I have the functioanlity of a 2.1 rom. I am having trouble installing this to me droid and making it stay, I have tried using adb and don't quite get how to work it, I have also tried just opening the apk on my device and installing that way. When I try the apk I get it to install and it works great, but when I power cycle my phone it switches back to the launcher installed on koush's rom. Can anyone help a somewhat noob figure this out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kei6193:
ok i am now on koush 1.0.2 rom and have clockword mod recovery, but when i try do install launcher2 through update.zip. It shows that it is successful and i reboot, but when i get to home, i dont have the 7 homescreens or anything. WHat am i doing wrong?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
hmm one thing i did notice is the wallpaper (im running a live) doesn't smoothly move with the flick/swipe to the next screen.

any way to smoothen that up?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prophetjinn:
There's an update.zip on the main page. Just flash that like a Rom. Thats how I did it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] evidenc3:
Never really saw a clear answer, but is this only meant for cyanogen based mods? I'm on a pretty stock rom (superboot installed the apps and gave me su/remount permissions, but then i flashed back to stock), with a 2.6.33 himem UV kernel. Did the ERE27 OTA update, then EBE36B_Radio_RIL_AUD_Apps.zip update with all of the EBE36B updates (sans properties file that breaks market).

Tried both installing this launcher booted after killing the cache mentioned in the OP, and also doing it in recovery after killing the cache and also wiping dalvik. Both cases give me an immediate FC loop.

http://pastebin.com/2NnekceN
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prophetjinn:
Did you mean the cache from launcher2 in app manager? Or just cache via recovery?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] evidenc3:
I tried both methods, this one:

adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.android.launcher2

and from the app manager. Deleting from the app manager removed the same directories, but leaves 'lib' intact (which is empty). Both methods should yield the same results. From recovery I did this as well as wiped dalvik to be safe, no dice.

These seem to be the relevant lines from logcat:

E/AndroidRuntime( 543): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.android.launcher2/com.android.launcher2.Launcher}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #91: Error inflating class com.android.launcher2.QuickShortcut

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
those who're having the same problem as evidenc3, can you try deleting Launcher2 odex file?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] evidenc3:
That fixed it on my stock rom. Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
yay! my guess was right! cool. i should setup a FAQ at the OP.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Any chance to this mod of the standard android launcher?

Love to have the app bar on a really speedy launcher :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
what if i say it's a paid app. would you buy? :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drpfenderson:
Depends. Probably. One of those "free online/paid donate on market" deals would totally get my $$.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
Yup. Just a survey for you guys.. if I release both a free version and paid/donate version in the market, how many of you would buy? As a benefit to donators, free version gets slower updates. That's all. How's that?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Wysie:
If both the free and donate versions are the same, then I'd say go for it :). However, please let it remain as a system app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ggrant3876:
I would buy it or donate again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] The Jones:
Personally, I would be more than happy to pay for it. I think if you get your pricing right, a free version could happily be a limited demo and it shouldn't put people off.

Just my 2 cents (not sure if that should be the price though).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
+1 10characters
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BlueScreenJunky:
I already donated, but I couldn't buy it from the market because Google checkout won't accept my credit card, and I can't pay via paypal on the market... So no paid apps for me, and I know I'm not the only one in this situation.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
Just wanted to let you know, I am using you modified launcher2 right now. I was looking for a 7 screen launcher, can't wait to see where you go with the development of this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chronzz:
hi i just switched from the auto rotating launcher2 and i can say i love the screen changes and stuff but im missing the auto rotate i would love to see it on this.

one more thing how come its 10+mb
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Wysie:
arctu: For storing preferences in Android, you can simply use a preferences.xml. Check out my Contacts mods on GitHub for the preferences. Basically there is a Java class that will point to the xml :). Tweet me if you need help :).

Regarding putting it up on GitHub, may I know what issues you are experiencing?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
@chronzz:

its 10mb+ because of cyanogen's wallpapers.. i removed it for the new release.. down to 600+ kb ;)

yes, i'm working on the auto rotate. the apps menu is a *****. i need help or time to finish fixing the glitch.

@wysie:

i'll take a look at it after i fix this irritating auto rotate. thanks!

regarding github, i understand that it has the ability to rebase unlike svn. how do i make sure that i don't break this functionality?

currently, the source is a git clone of CM launcher2 git and I edited the files without creating a new branch. so now, how do I upload it to my own github yet retaining the rebase capability (just in case cyan source changes)?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chronzz:
thanks keep up the good work cant wait to see what u come up with :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] d.cortez:
looks great, i'm currently testing Sense UI... will test this weekend. oh yeah, do you mind sharing your fonts (or font names)? thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chronzz:
yea i like the font please share
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
is it possible to make it so you can loop allthe way around the homescreens- eg. when on first home screen you swipe to the left to go to 2nd screen and to the right for the 7th screen. this would make this perfect, along with a configurable amount of home screens like advanced launcher on G1/magic (which i think was open source if that helps).

thanks. will try this out later

btw: in your travels with this were u able to see where the background color of selected apps in the grid view is set?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
i extracted the font from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633043

@MontAlbert:

i believe its referred in drawable/grid_selector.xml

UPDATES:

Auto rotate working! Fixed the menu glitch, finally after more than 3 hours.

Minor bug: See the first screen.. anyone have any idea how to align the dots properly? I wonder how enomether did it.

Besides that, Home button is also a Preview toggle like Wysie requested. Long-press on desktop reenabled.

Will release it soon after polished... along with the source. ;)

The more replies I get.. the faster I'll release it. Stay tuned! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PISSANDVINEGAR:
I like the font, is that part of the launcher? Can it be installed alone, if so, an update.zip or similar would be great I'm sure alot of people would be interested. Also if you were able to provide the font alone, would it be ok while another custom launcher is active?

And the ChompSMS icon? Is that just new, or custom?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
nice work- thanks- more requests:

1. ability to hide apps like advanced launcher

2. folders in drawer/grid like advanced as well

3. still the wrap around home screens...quicker to get to 7 etc from 1.

thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chronzz:
can't wait for the update.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
1. Maybe future versions. But not my focus right now.

2. Same as above.

3. Not going to implement this. I've changed the long press of prev and next button for quick jump to ends. ;)

Besides these, I can't find Advanced Launcher source. Don't think it's opensourced. :eek:

-----

Current features:

- Fully fixed auto rotation

- App Menu Button Long Press -> Quick Switcher

- Long Press Prev & Next -> Quick Jump to End

- More iPhone-like scrolling (the ends)

- 7 screens

- Re-enabled Long Press at Desktop

- Commented Code (where I remembered I changed)

Waiting for help so I can upload my code to github. :confused:

Meanwhile, do you guys want the app first? :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
perfect mate- cant wait to try it out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:

btw, i don't think it's zipaligned and png optimized. any idea how to? thanks.
