Just a suggestion for the next versions :

It could be nice to be able to hide some application of the launcher (like in AdvancedLauncher) because when we have Google Maps and Google Maps [Brut], we have 4 icons instead of 2... Also some paid app need to install a base application then a unlocking app (so we have 2 icons : example Documents To Go)...

To sum up most of us have useless apps icons in their launcher and it become difficult to find the apps we are looking for.
[G1 Android Development] ccooluke:
Agreed with brian_fr.

Pleeeeeeaaaaseee add the functionality of advanced launcher. Hide apps plus folders!

Once advanced launcher is good to go for elcair (praying soon) then just because of this function, you've lost me. I love your launcher, it's simply amazing. however I cannot live without the functionality of advanced launcher.

Thank you for all you have done, you have done some amazing stuff here.
[G1 Android Development] eessel:
Then why don't you just uninstall the apps you don't use...vwala! Problem solved!

flashed this over test 5 and my pone was lagging like a mofo but i was loving all the extra features. hadn't done a complete wipe since test 1 though so wiped and reflashed and its as fast and smooth as the regular launcher now.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Icons like those from Google Talk or Settings I could live without. To uninstall those is not very advisable though ;)
[G1 Android Development] sofox:
Hi, this looks like a great launcher with many features, but unable to install on my samsung galaxy spica i5700 running eclair 2.1. Tried both adb push and update.zip but phone does not install the launcher even though launcher.apk is in /system/app/. Is this due to incompatibility or...something else? Thanks in advance!
[G1 Android Development] Andrewtst:
Thanks a lot, AnderWeb, great job. :)

The most smoother launcher in Nexus One. (Even though it is not design officially for Nexus One)

By pushing the Launcher.apk to /system/app/ I can remain my current HelixLauncher2 :D

Anyway ADW Launcher is my default Launcher now. :D

Suggestion: Inside launcher apps, possible hide all the widget/shortcut when using the background fading (untick the Fast Drawer) as those widget is making difficulties to see the launcher apps.

This ADW is pretty smooth and stable, I didn't get any FC once turn of the auto rotate screen for launcher. The only drawback I found is the Drawer animation is over lagging if apply.
[G1 Android Development] cgonz92:
hey whats meatmorph for? and do i need it to flash this launcher???
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Metamorph is a theming method that does not require flashing zip files. To use it, download the Metamorph app from the Market, download a metamorph zip file, open the Metamorph app, find the zip and apply it.

You do not need Metamorph to flash this launcher unless you wish to theme or skin the launcher. AnderWebs linked to several galleries of Metamorphs for this launcher, though beware that the version matches the launcher version you have.
[G1 Android Development] eessel:
Every thing you need to know about metamorph here..and as the person before me said..no, you don't need this to flash this launcher

Great launcher

Thank you AnderWeb for this great launcher. I love it & I am currently using it on my Acer Liquid. Works 100% on it, and if you disable LW support, it becomes the fastest.
[G1 Android Development] Sh4wN:
I searched but did not find the answer: is it possible to get the original cyanogen mod animations on this launcher?
[G1 Android Development] Dai323:
Dude, your wallpaper and desktop in general looks SICK! Where did you get the wallpaper from? Also, does your G1 not lag like a mofo with all those widgets?
[G1 Android Development] prince34:
He's using a Nexus One like he says in his post and in his sig ...

Great launcher, been using it for quite a while now.

Love all the features and customization abilities.
[G1 Android Development] Andrewtst:
You can get the Wallpaper from Flikie Wallpaper HD app.

I am using Nexus One not G1. ;)
[G1 Android Development] cgonz92:
how come in the 1.6 version when you put an app in the shortcuts next to the launcher button the icons of the apps dont show up?? but i love the launcher the galaxy s view is not as responsive for the 1.6 version. but i still ove the launcher :)
[G1 Android Development] bakageta:
Do you have the Tint AB option checked? Too many icons aren't anything more than a square/rounded square and will look pretty bleh with that option on.
[G1 Android Development] cgonz92:
yea i have the tint AB on

would taking it off show the icons?
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
I only can add 2 icons in the launcher, haw can i add more like i se other users have ?
[G1 Android Development] BigD18t:
if you drag up the dock, then you can add more, the main to are used for things like phone, and messages.
[G1 Android Development] bakageta:
Yep, turning it off will show the icons normally.
[G1 Android Development] Andrewtst:
Hi, AnderWeb,

My suggestion:

•Try the LauncherPro and benefits from it idea. http://www.launcherpro.com/

•Smart scenes jumping rather than scrolling all the way - this is the only part I dislike, I found it troublesome and slow when switching.

•Smooth and pefect transition effect when opening the menu from launcher.

With above implement, your Launcher will be the perfect ever. :D
[G1 Android Development] ccooluke:
wallpaper??

Hello all... um... random question...

I previously was on CM 4.2.15.1

I used an app called magicwall. It basically let me choose any folder I wanted and all the pics inside would rotate. (just like you can do on a mac basically)

The best thing about this app was that the image was fixed, and was not cropped. Meaning the picture didn't move when I changed screens.

Now that I went to CM 5.0.7 (and also started using ADW launcher for the first time since I can't have my old advanced launcher) This app no longer works like it did. The images are zoomed in and cropped, just like as if I had set the wallpaper like normal.

I take this it's because of ADW? But why? I've also tried WallpaperPlus, but no luck.

All I want to do, essentially; is use a picture my girlfriend sends me of herself as my background. (I really don't care about the rotating wallpapers)

I want a fixed image. I don't want a zoomed in/stretched out pic.

And I could do that before with these apps. and wallpaperplus claims to be able to do that. and luck. It must be because of ADW... anyway around this?

thanks.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
The only major improvements on LauncherPro that I see are the 4 permanent shortcuts (not fun if you use a different messaging or browser app by default, or have another app you'd prefer to have a quick shortcut to) and better animations. Not sure I'd like or NEED 4 shortcuts, and while the animations aren't the best on ADW, I know Ander is trying his best with his knowledge.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Perhaps the app is simply incompatible with Eclair?

You could always try setting your wallpaper before flashing ADW. Or download the actual image from those apps and set the wallpaper normally.
[G1 Android Development] Andrewtst:
I still stick with ADW Launcher, I just wish AnderWeb can use LauncherPro effect on ADW Launcher.

The LauncherPro transition effect is too smooth and the way it jumping screen when pressing the hard menu button is the correct idea and correct way.

hi,

tried on my Motorola Milestone with 2.1 (rooted).

don't works :(

any help?

please
[G1 Android Development] rvpartsguy:
are there any themes available for 0.7 builds ?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
So far, the .7 is only a port to eclair. They use the same file structure and such so themes will work for both (Donut and Eclair).
[G1 Android Development] krwdre:

[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
How do you actually apply these metamorphs? Instructions would be pretty useful. Tried flashing from recovery (Clockwork mod, latest) and unzipping to SD card.
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
For the metamorphs, get metamorph from the market... put the zip on sd, card select zip from metamorph.

Or search the form for metamorph.

i wanna install this on my Samsung Spica, but when i try to install the apk via adb i get

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Signature conflict. Are you running a rooted ROM from the community (rather than from Google, Samsung, or your service provider)? If not, you won't have much luck making this work as-is, and no one has attacked making this run standalone AFAIK.

Also, flashing the zip from recovery is preferred.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It's the widget to the Twicca app for twitter.
[G1 Android Development] s0mep00p:
You just gotta edit the lab.png's and rab.png's and make them bigger I think
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Which TheOfficial? TMO is a known problem (though why it's a problem is unknown, it's probably related to the reason enomther's 5-screen launcher isn't included). Several people, myself included, have installed it fine on AOSP. ADP is a complete unknown.
[G1 Android Development] boredpcguy:
I love add-ons like this, gives us more of a choice. Great work! Only had one FC when I first booted, but it was most likely my fault.

Success reported using CM 4.2.15.1.
[G1 Android Development] Janis:
+1 on the merge with Advanced Launcher. I love this, but I really rely on those app folders on my drawer too much.
[G1 Android Development] ichibanpnoy:

[G1 Android Development] Neejay:
Thanks for 0.4! I like to have SOMETHING down there to specifically grab, instead of the invisible guy.
[G1 Android Development] myn:
I should have confirmed. Enom's TheOfficial ADP v.2.5.1.

.03b worked fine with it.

Done via:

# adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
# adb push Launcher.apk /system/app

Also tried fresh system with cleared data then updated. Same issue with the black screen (no Launcher load)

Thank you so much for all of your hard work. This is one of the biggest advancements I've seen this year :)

[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Wow, just discovered this.

0.4 works perfectly on TheOfficial AOSP v2.5.1.

Porting some features (especially that "dock" bar) from this would be cool. I'm afraid I find Advanced Launcher a bit buggy, though I love its Hide application feature.

I'd be more interested in having a more Nexus experience, with the full application scroll/cube, rather than just the app drawer. But this is a start, and a very good one!
[G1 Android Development] olvap377:

This launcher is pimp! Confirmed working perfectly so far on SuperD 1.8. Thanks so much for this, very clean and functional. :D

Note: Startup after flashing was a little stuttery for a minute, but once things settled down it's as if this launcher was always there. Great job!
[G1 Android Development] Neejay:
just realized that flashing 0.4 caused me to lose the clear highlights of htcclays FastTest rom (just on the homescreen + app drawer) :(
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Everyone, thanks for your comments :)

If someone wants to donate, PLEASE do it to one of the real devs like cyanogen, wesgarn, benbuchacher, cacheinjection, Brut.all, Stericson... i'll be glad if you do it, thanks!

i may end up adding a "hints" section on the OP to those trying to flash this over advanced launcher, cause it usually produces bootloops/black screens...

You should try to make a logcat on these situations and post here or somewhere so i can check...

I've checkout adv.launcher code and i'm gonna play a bit with it, but if i get something, i will be releasing it as an alternative download, so users can make the choice :)

Thanks again.
[G1 Android Development] torchedlh:
You're quite humble to redirect donations to other devs. Props!

I would LOVE to see the quick shortcuts option for things like dialer/contacts, messaging etc.

Also, silly question but how do you bring up the previews of the screens?

Installation Help

I tried using SPRecovery and Clockwork via Rom Manager and I still cannot get this launcher to install. I would really like for this to work. Any Ideas?
[G1 Android Development] DocRambone:
No, size is coded in the launcher, up to dev to change it ;)
[G1 Android Development] s0mep00p:
Oh okay, yeah I think you're right.

But if you're talking about the pressing space, I think changing the .png size would affect it...
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
The code is githubbed. You (or any coder) can change it. ;)
[G1 Android Development] benwhite:
Thanks for fixing the contact hover issue...rc1 is working great.
[G1 Android Development] benwhite:
The issue raised is not the placeholder size, but the size of the shortcut image in the LAB and RAB.

I agree they are too small, but not a deal breaker.
[G1 Android Development] SCDroid:
i'm having problems getting it to install. After i flash the .zip i reboot and there is no home launcher. only launcher there is is helix.
[G1 Android Development] SCDroid:
ok so i deleted helix and made 'home' my default launcher then flashed the adw.zip. now i am stuck at the bootscreen.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Can you get to recovery?

If so, hopefully you made a nandroid and you can simply recover from that. Otherwise, you're SOL and you'll have to reflash your rom again.
[G1 Android Development] SCDroid:
Yes, i have a backup. but i need help getting ADW launcher work.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Which phone?

Which SPL?

Which Radio?

Which Rom? Version?

Which Recovery?
[G1 Android Development] SCDroid:
Droid

stock SPL i guess

new .3p radio

Base ESE81 with Darkedge UI

Clockwork recovery
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Hmm, have you tried ADB pushing the launcher.apk to your phone, replacing your current launcher.apk? There's not much else in the zip to flash.

[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Read the first link in my signature. Then tell us the version of the launcher you're using and if possible, get a logcat of the FC.

It's CyanogenMod or CM-based. The screenshots were taken before the Eclair version was released, so the best guess is that it's the latest CM4.

There is not " Delete default" in Eclair's Applications manager menu. Any ideas?? Sorry for my bad English, i'm Italian.. tanks for any suggestion... ;-)
[G1 Android Development] Andrewtst:
Press the home hard button shall allow you to choose.

I not sure it is working for Acer Liquid or not. You may ask the author about it.

Did you Liquid is Android 2.1? As v0.7rc1 is for Android 2.1 only.

Try adb push see working or not. (But I notice it already at your /system/app which means it is install correctly)
[G1 Android Development] davil333:

What's that used for? It's just from cyanogen eclair standard launcher.... i don't know...
[G1 Android Development] drigerott:

if you can, try building all without 2 string

android:sharedUserId="android.uid.shared"

android:sharedUserLabel="@string/uid_name"

on stock Eclair 2.1 for Acer Liquid

Launcher.apk works ^^

maybe like this can work on all eclair too (milestone, and other) not only cyanogenmod

this is a working androidmanifest.xml that Vache used for build the last 0.7 beta to work on Acer Liquid with stock Eclair:

How to make the Launcher Transparent ?

At Twitter i found these

Ok changing the *.apk res + resign etc is a little bit too much ;) (also for every new Version you need to do it again)

Is there a "simple" (Metamorph?) way to get an transparent launcher (like in the preview screens) ?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Do the metamorph yourself, there's no need to resing anithing :-)
[G1 Android Development] zvieratko:

[G1 Android Development] ttabbal:

[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Rc1 works great (Cya5 Test5 on HTC Magic). Love the new options!

Otherwise nice job! Very well done (yet again) :D

Working version for Milestone

I made a working version for Milestone

I extracted the 0.7rc1 APK with apktool

deleted:

android:sharedUserId="android.uid.shared"

android:sharedUserLabel="@string/uid_name"

from AndroidManifest.xml

repacked

signed with my brand new key

WORKS!

However, one has to get rid of the original Launcher first, just replacing it didn't work for me.

Instructions:

1) install HelixLauncher and set it as default(!!!!) or you'll have no Home app

2) boot into recovery, mount /system

3) rm /system/app/Launcher.apk (keep a copy :))

4) umount /system

5) reboot

6) uninstall Launcher (Home)

7) reboot

8) install this APK

9) enjoy

works for me :) but haven't tested it too much...

keep helix installed just in case... :)

FC when Enabling, "Hide StatusBar", under Screen preferences

@AnderWeb,

First off, "GREAT JOB", but just a little info using ADW.Launcher on my TM G1.

I'm running enomther's TheOffical ROM; AOSP-1.6_r2-DRD36_v2.6.3 and your Launcher works like a CHAMP!

The only problem is when I try to Enable "Hide StatusBar" I sometimes get a FC error.

I just tried to make it give me the ERROR message, (but like going to the doctors), it didn't cause an error! :rolleyes:

Maybe someone else had the same problem... :D

I have installed your latest launcher for 1.6. Works well, good job man. Now I wanted to apply the Metamorph based on Froyo.

After metamorphing I had the helix launcher on my screen. After a nandroid restore I removed the helix launcher and did the metamorph again. The result was a black screen.

Whats wrong with my metamorph?
