@Anderweb

I think that i've found a bug that cause launcher lag. (beta 7 with Galaxy S style @ Cm5 - test1 - Swap On)

If i press dots button to show up application, then close it by pressing for example back or home button, when i open it again it is sooo laggy. While if i open it, and close by pressing again home button on screen (the same that show up application) it's always fast and never lags.

I noticed that in the 1st case, the launcher remain opened where i left it and when i open it the second time i don't see Animation, while in the 2nd case the launcher starts "from the beginning" and i see animation.

Don't know if it's a bug, but it's really annoing to me :P

Thanks for your hard work!
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It's not a proper port for eclair so he expects there to be a lot of bugs. It is also different for you since he doesn't have the correct drawables for Droid or Nexus yet (The HDPI images).
[G1 Android Development] Anku13:
Sorry, I am kind of lost.. but what version is working with CM 5.0.7 test2 on G1?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
sorry, i'm updating the op, but for now you can check here http://www.jbthemes.com/anderweb/
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Thanks bro, honoured coming from you :)

That's not a complete "launcher" bug... let's explain some things :)

-On eclair, the launcher is TRANSPARENT, and the wallpaper (live or static) runs its own app in the background.

-That "transparency" is what defines (imho) the transition to use for the window manager.

-My beta1 was NOT using that, so it didn't show that effect (neither LWP)

-My beta2 was usint that, so the effect shows (but you loose smooth desktop swiping)

-My latest releases contains an option where tou can enable/disable the LWP support, but that not only affect the LWP display, but the complete rendering spec for the launcher backgroud/effects.

-If you enable "LWP support" you'll have the effect you like so much, but you'll suffer choppines on sliding desktops.

-If you disable "LWP support" you gain desktop smooth but loose the "zooming effect"

So, atm i cannot do much more on that... :)

I'm always open to dig logcats and read "steps to reproduce" bugs and so on, so i'll be happy to get info on that.

BTW, you should take in consideration that this hack *may* be or NOT compatible with hdpi devices till I make a proper port, and that's time consuming so... you'll need to wait :)

Yeah, sorry for everyone not liking that, i just pulled them to the sides to adding space for the other buttons.

But you/anyone could make a little metamorph for the dots pngs so they looks better :) They're 60px width pngs.

The animation system in android is a bit tricky (to me) and i'll need more time to completely understand it. If you disable the animations, speed is constant. If you enable them, weird things occur sometimes and i've not been able to address them yet :(

I'll go on diggin it and maybe there's a day when i completely understand it :)

Oh, OP updated :)
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
All this launcher is lacking is those icons flying in animation, and the rollover effect. Hope u consider adding those once u have a stable port to eclair (u know properly ;)) and all the quirks straightened out.
[G1 Android Development] Anku13:
Thanks!

its really awesome! :)
[G1 Android Development] A.L.2009:
Are the screen shots from the first page from the Eclair version?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Both versions are mostly identical, the only "new" thing for eclair is the LWP support :-)
[G1 Android Development] A.L.2009:
Strange, I just flashed the latest v0.6.999999.2 and didn't seem to work. Still looks like the previous version.
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
wow thats an amazin launcher, i love it :o
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
yessssssssssssssssss
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
yeah, it is. And is like the screenshots. check your settings to customize it
[G1 Android Development] xhoangx:
Wow you are awesome! Using it now on SuperD. FYI for everyone using SuperD, this replaces the 'Home' and not the 'NexusLauncher' option in the home chooser if you are not seeing the new stuff.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
I just flashed this and my dog died. I forgot to make a nandroid, what can I do?
[G1 Android Development] A.L.2009:
Figured it out. Works great. Many thanks!
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
you can get it again in the market, but you'll loose your configurations and widgets...

there's an alternate solution called "pet sematary" but it could be worse...
[G1 Android Development] Abolfazl:
On 1.6, The LAB & RAB do not have colors in the icon. Is this normal?
[G1 Android Development] idaeis:
how did you get it zu work with superD ? i downloaded the latest Version of the launcher. for Android 1.6 and flasht it,nothin happend!?

[G1 Android Development] avatar_43:
I love this launcher, No more long list of apps... Something I'd like would be the ability to edit the drawer (iPhone like I know) but would be handy imo
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Check UI Settings/Tint

You are probably using superD "nexus launcher" instead the "standard launcher". Select the standard one, that's all.

You can actually do it... android desktop is like iphone drawer... but BETTER. :)
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
If this was more stable I would flash it in an instant. So many things going on...
[G1 Android Development] :
Hi Anders,

Just wondering why the white preview screens were removed and how would I go about putting them back in?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
use metamorph/ninjamorph :-)
[G1 Android Development] sitimber:
hi i flashed this and i got arrested also my privates got really cold and they looked really small is there anything on the market to help

great kang
[G1 Android Development] Bentenrai:
any comment on the feasibility of either

a) incorporating advancedlaunchers submenu system?

b) possibly a feature where users could select which apps appear on which page, and could therefore group similar apps and even have less than full pages?

c) at the very least, adding the option to hide apps from the drawer?

I don't know how difficult these additions would be, which is why I want to know what you think.

option a would make this THE BEST LAUNCHER EVER. especially on eclair...

anyway, keep up the good work! installed on my girlfriends g1.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
He's commented on submenus and his answer is: He doesn't use it and therefore won't include it until (at least) he feels the launcher has gone as far as possible.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
is this OK on Eclair? i honestly only see good results from Donut users.. don't actually see results from eclair users lol.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I would hope so, I've been using it since he released it from eclair and have had no problems whatsoever (of course you'll want to use the eclair verion).

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/
[G1 Android Development] djlenny51:
your launcher is awesome, but after i installed the eclair version of it my phone can't find my location anymore, only through gps is anyone else having this bug?
[G1 Android Development] mrslayer007:
Great in eclair

Im glad im actaully using this on an éclair rom,

i have this problem with going from port mode to landscape and then sliding up the keyboard, it takes to long to reload. on donut i know this isnt an issue

but a fix for this would be nice,

*i get a black screen, then icons followed by widgets of course.

its really not that big of a deal but just a minor inconvenience.

great work btw
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
This is pretty damn nice. will post my bugs later. love the ability to swipe to the side as well as up and down.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Sorry but how exactly do you use the LAB and RAB buttons? And is there an ability to add shorcuts to the launcher ala helix launcher?
[G1 Android Development] itradio:
for the LAB/RAB, add the app to your homescreen, then drop it on either of the LAB/RAB.

For shortcuts, SWIPE the app drawer up, and you'll get a shortcuts launder (it looks black, but that might be because of my background)... and you do the same thing as LAB/RAB... add the app to your homescreen, swipe up fast (don't press and release) and you can add it to the shortcut bar.

Hope that works
[G1 Android Development] itradio:
Ander, you've done it again! Don't quit while you're ahead!

I tried the new 5.07 ADWLauncher when beta 1 came out, and didn't understand the LAB/RAB thing until I saw some of the screen shots. I just flashed the new beta, set up the L/R and I'm not looking back at Helix anytime soon.

I can't wait to see where you take this!

ps... check your PPal
[G1 Android Development] MaddBlazed:
AnderWeb,

Just wanted to say, Thank you ! Loving this launcher.

Working great with Cyan test 2 on my 32b.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Oh my god.. this launcher is so amazing.. Jesus christ. on beta 6 for eclair.. Goodness im never switching launchers..

When swiped up, is there any way to pull up the launcher? Just wondering because i always have to switch back to the other to open the app tray. Sliding to the left and right is so smooth.. How did you do this lol..
[G1 Android Development] sabin123:
Does this Launcher works on the Cyanogen eclair mod or not ??
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Eclair version
[G1 Android Development] itradio:
yes... look @ peoples signatures to see what they're running (i had to do the same thing before flashing)
[G1 Android Development] deaffob:
Im getting this bug/glitch where if I put items in LAB/RAB they become gray, meaning they lose their original color. Same thing happened to me in both CM5 T1, T2.
[G1 Android Development] BopChie:
i for the life of me cant get .7b6 stable on my g1 on cm5.0.7t2 (t1 too)

installs and works.. but as soon as i delete the shortcuts on home and start adding mine i can't open the drawer with out it crashing...i.e i goto open it and it just disappears, reload and still disappears when i go to open it. any thoughts? i can throw it in and up a logcat if needed.

as i said. it works fine until i delete the default shortcuts seems odd and i'll page back through some post and see if i'm missing something, but i really like adw on bm4.2
[G1 Android Development] bluedragon1982:
Its not a bug, it only a settings thing:

go to ADW Setting an dissable "Tint AB" and see, you will have colored icons :)
[G1 Android Development] :
If I knew how I wouldn't have asked for help, never mind I'll ask someone else to help me.
[G1 Android Development] alpha7158:
This launcher is fantastic. With the fast drawer option set it is massively more responsive than the standard android drawer. I love all of the customisation options too.

I am using the latest beta (beta 6) on the cyanogen mod 5.0.7 test2. No problems so far. My device is a Vodafone HTC Magic 32B.
[G1 Android Development] DocRambone:
WOW, wonderful launcher :)

Any chance to have this on a Nexus compatible version?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
there's ppl using it on a N1 so you can try yourself (make a nandroid backup first), but it will get "officially supported" soon :-P

(despite not having a n1, so support is limited on my end )
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
it's really easy and for the white previews you'll only need to replace 3 pngs (take them from 0.6.2)
[G1 Android Development] DocRambone:
I tried the ADW.Launcher.0.7.eclair_beta6_UNSTABLE.zip on my Nexus. The install went ok but it wont start tho. I guess its because the high res folders are missing?
[G1 Android Development] giovannirm:
wonderful launcher you rock!!!!!!!!! just two issues... in landscape mode If I use 4 rows, I can't see the text on the last line of the menu( I see only half text)! If I use 5 rows in landscape mode I don't see any text! is it normal?

another question.... with the sense UI previews is it possible to see all screens previews? not just the previews of the dots on the left or on the right?

p.s. sorry for my english... I'm learning :D
[G1 Android Development] trumani:
columns in folders

Great mod!!!

I'm not sure if this is cyanogen's new 5.0.7 or adw launcher, but the folders on my screens are back to the unrooted default 4 columns
[G1 Android Development] BrandoHD:
hey anderweb this is a little off topic, the clock and weather widget that u used in your screenshots, can u please tell me where u got that from???
[G1 Android Development] :
Thanks have done it now and added the larger white dots with cyan highlights. Very happy camper and all done on my phone too! No computer so just as well :D

Fantastic work Anders, very well done sir.
[G1 Android Development] mytharak:
It may not be stable yet, but I'm using it on my Droid as my main launcher. It's good enough and works ok. I can't wait to get the propper eclair port.

What version are u using on droid?
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
I keep trying other launchers but always end up coming back to this one. Great work, AnderWeb!

One question: is there a way using metamorph or some other method to remove the lines that are under LAB and RAB ?
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
Can you change scrolling direction?

Anderweb,

Great launcher! I was wondering though, and I apologize if I missed it, but can you opt to scroll vertically instead of horizontally? I love Android but the default ADW horizontal scrolling reminds me too much of the iPhone, and as we all know the Android OS is light-years ahead of the Apple iPhone OS!

Thanks!

Chris R.
[G1 Android Development] kjwalker:
I assume you are talking about in the App-Drawer. You can disable the vertical scrolling by going into ADW Settings --> Drawer Settings --> Uncheck New Drawer.
[G1 Android Development] zszen:
If it support Multi-touch scale. It will be perfect.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
yeah, that are .9.pngs, look for files called *rab*/*lab* inside drawable and drawable-land dirs
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
Yeah!

Thank you sooo much! I guess the identifier on that option really didn't indicate what the heck it did so that's why I missed it! The vertical scrolling seems a bit choppier to me, but I'm sticking with it!

Thanks again for the help!!!!!

Chris R.
[G1 Android Development] Gazorninplat:
I'm using 0.7 beta6 on CM5.0.7 test 1 on my Magic and it looks awesome!

One suggestion: I like using the setting to hide the status bar. I'd love to be able to hide it but have a quick one step way of seeing it, without having to go into the menu and choose notifications.

1) Perhaps swipe down from top to bring down the status notification?

2) Perhaps an option to set LAB/RAB to bring down the status notification?

Thanks!

Jason
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
i've been wondering myself a "proper method" to show/hide statusbar... but haven't found a good solution...

btw, till i finish the eclair port, i cannot add new features/tweaks, so i ask for everyone's patience :-)

Thankyou everyone!
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
So is it only the 2.1 Launcher that has the dockbar? because I just flashed the latest for 1.6 and it looks the exact same.
[G1 Android Development] BrandoHD:
one question, how do i remove a shortcut from the LAB or RAB???
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
drag a new one on top of it. or if you don't want one of them at all, I think there is a setting that lets you completely remove them.
[G1 Android Development] athakur999:
Has anyone seem any problems with their home screens going blank? I haven't tracked down exactly what triggers it occasionally after waking up the screen, all of my home screens are blank. If I reboot everything is fine for a while.

I've seen the same problem on CM5 using .7beta5 and on SuperD 1.11 using 6.9999.2. I don't remember seeing this on the older .6 releases under SuperD 1.10.x. If I see it again I'll try rolling back to an older version of 0.6 and see if that helps.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Try pulling up the launcher button. I was using this launcher before CM5 and it has not gained any new features since, so the dockbar is there.
[G1 Android Development] bluedragon1982:
its not a problem with the launcher, there is an issue on cm's issuetracker for this - it seems in cm5 is compcache broken.

[G1 Android Development] mytharak:
I am using the unstable eclair beta 6 on latest CM5 for the droid.

I have experienced the same symptoms on mine swiping beteen homescreens/switching between apps gets them back. you can also kill the home process and it will restart and come back.
[G1 Android Development] jmariconda:
See if someone can port basically the nexus launcher to donut, then why can't anyone port a hero-type launcher with working buttons?

btw great work on this:D
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Have you tried GDE?
[G1 Android Development] jmariconda:
Yeah I have, but it still just doesn't feel the same as sense does like this feels like the nexus launcher.
[G1 Android Development] kjwalker:
Thank you for your work! By far the best/smoothest launcher I've used on my Droid, and it's not even a finished port!
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
I'm running the Cyanogen test1 Eclair build on my G1 but I'm also interested in using this, which version would you suggest? I'm asking because I don't know if the Eclair version you have is only for higher resolution devices or if it would work just fine on the G1 with Eclair :)
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
The higher resolution devices are using OUR version, so we're fine. Their the ones that are running risks (and even then the risk is just blurry images).
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
Ah I see! I take it the Eclair version just has better integration with .. Eclair.

[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
How come i can't find the code/layout for the app shortcuts next to the drawer tab or the gesture (or whatever it is) to bring up the screen overviews in your github?

Please PM me, I'm interested in studying this for my own launcher/learning.
[G1 Android Development] :
Don't know if this is just me or not but I've noticed that when my phone goes to sleep on the home screen and I wake it up the preview windows are open automatically, going to sleep from any other screen it does not do this. I have my end button programmed to go home then sleep if it matters at all. I do not have previews mapped to the home key either.

Is this a fault or by design?

Edit: Just tested and also noticed that as I have the status bar hidden the launcher seems to drop down slightly when I wake the screen and doesn't 'pop' back into its correct position until I open something such as hitting menu.
[G1 Android Development] xhoangx:
It's because if you press the home button on the home screen the previews come up, so if the button is set to 'home then sleep' then it will happen everytime you press end (and I guess sleep) on the home screen. If you set it to just sleep then it should stop. FYI, this is the same behavior it has on Sense also. Also, the settings for the previews in the ADW settings is for it to pop up when you press home on any screen, so turning that off it will still occur on the home screen.
[G1 Android Development] :
Strange but works, thanks, a little annoying but nothing major. Also just noticed that when on home screen that home key brings up previews even with the option unchecked in settings.

Thanks again, guess I live with it :D
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I too am a big fan of hiding the taskbar (don't know why, guess I like the clean look of it) but did find I kinda need the notification bar more often than I thought. So ya'll can do like I did and download a free app from the marketplace called HelloStatusbar. It pulls down your notification bar with a simple press of the app button. I then made this app my RAB so that whenever I need to get to my bar, no matter the page, a simple press and I'm there! As an added tip, after downloading that app, download the app Exsbar. That app maps the HelloStatusBar app to your green call button. So to make it super simple all you have to do is press your green call button to bring it down.

I get this a lot too. Guess it's not used to not having the status bar there. But like you said, a quick panel preview will reset everything properly.
[G1 Android Development] :
Thanks for those suggestions FatBoy, two nice little programs that will come in very handy indeed! It is suprising how much you use it and don't realise it!
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Ander felt that it was useless to have a button that did nothing so he made it so that turning it off would only have it show previews on the main homescreen. Everywhere else would bring it back to the main one.

I like having the status bar there, it comforts me. Whatever happens after it puts me to sleep though....
[G1 Android Development] Gazorninplat:
@FatBoyExtraordinaire

THANK YOU! Just what I was looking for!

@AnderWeb

I totally agree, this is the best launcher replacement/mod I have tried, even in it's beta stage it's way faster and more stable than most!

----------------

Also, for those that want to map it to their camera button or long press of the search button, there is an app called Button Shortcut in the Market.
[G1 Android Development] fitsnugly:
I tried to make up a morph for the home icons (like in this thread) but the Launcher would crash every time I tried to morph something.

I've attached what I got so far...
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
There's a lot of code for the things you mention (just remember to look inside donut branch on my github, the eclair one is stock launcher)

-For the lab/rab i use my ActionButton class, and a few code parts placed inside Launcher.java and Utilities.java (for bitmap tweaking upon creating the smaller/shaded icons).

-For the screen previews (depending if they are the "sense" ones or the nexus ones) you can check Launcher.java (where they are created) and PreviewsHolder.java.

Hope you find it useful.

Seems there is a corrupt png (drawable-port/tray_handle_pressed.png)... try replacing it with a working one...
[G1 Android Development] MilkPudding:
