Some observations (found this from the homepage of XDA)...

(1) Scrolling performance across screens is OK, slightly laggy

(2) Adding Application Shortcuts is really slow (long press -> shortcut -> Applications takes forever to open up - maybe because I have tons of stuff installed?)

(3) A number of the System Settings pages refuse to open when this launcher is running (Privacy, Applications wouldn't, but Personalize would)

(4) No scrolling widgets (Agenda Widget shows up blank if scrolling is enabled in the widget)

This is on a rooted EVO running stock/rooted 1.47 (coming from ADW.Launcher).

Overall a good effort that's sure to improve with time. I really liked how snappy it is to jump back to home after being in an app (this is something that bugs me about ADW.Launcher).
[Android Apps and Games] Azrael.arach:
Been using it all day and so far like it. Fast switching from an app to home screen which I love. Look forward to updates.

For some reason its not on my market.. i got the motorola i1 android 1.5 .. it dosent appear in the market also if i use the bar code .. it dosent when it trys to open the webpage it says its not available
[Android Apps and Games] :
thanks for the feedback :)

ive been working on zeam 2.0.0, which is going to utilize most of the 2.x features. unfortunately this means i will be stopping support for cupcake and donut devices. but i think its time to move on lol. with my real life responsibilities i wouldn't have time to maintain 2 different branches anyway :(

implemented for next release. still trying to determine how to rework the dock bar for now.

elastic scrolling will be implemented in the next release. as for app shortcuts, u can just drag them from the app drawer onto the desktop or then into the app dock? scrolling widget support will also be implemented in the next release.

trying to come up with a new concept for the app dock bar that doesn't replicate other launchers out there, so if you guys have any ideas let me know here. i dont wanna be a copycat ;-) the current zeam dock bar is kinda unrobust lol
[Android Apps and Games] mitnits:
Excellent work - now lets have more features!

Hi, congrats on great launcher job!

Can we gen an option to get rid of the "show all apps" toggle in the dock? Having "home" bound to this action works just fine, and the toggle takes valuable real estate.

Also - an option to make the "dock" larger (e.g. equal in height to regular icons) and also be able to scale the desktop icons to be larger would be welcome....
[Android Apps and Games] spiderizk:
i love this one... btw can you add an option to change color, or even make em transparent...
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
the dock seems a little unstable ...i keep having apps just dissapear off it recently.

btw, are there going to be any option for transparency control of the dockbar in version 2?

Sense clock ?

I was looking at the screens shots you put up andnoticed that the clock in it was the one from HTC sense, or a version just like it. can you tell me how you got that to work or what you used to get the identical look. I have beautiful widgets dowloaded but have not seen any that look as =close as this one does.
[Android Apps and Games] iLHaNroID:
Widgets(!)

I'd like to use a such launcher instead of Sense because of the ability of wider customization options for users i.e. user friendliness. As to widgets; like on Launcher Pro, we see HTC clock widget (HTC,s famous flip clock with weather) on your screenshot images, but cannot see any explanations on how to bring and use it with the launcher. When I saw the article in xda, I'd thought it was possible with this one; but seen that it is not possible (until you provide a description as well). Do not tell me "root required" please, I don't want to root my Desire before I get the official froyo upgrade :) Rgds

I use a Samsung Galaxy S with Android 2.1 and Zeam Launcher.

When I use the TWLauncher (Samsung TouchWiz) the phone is always laggy and when I use Zeam Launcher, my phone performs a little better.

I have the option "Sensor Rotation" checked on, and I must say, that is very slow on my phone. I mean the screen takes like 4 seconds to change its orientation. Also when the phone is vertically placed, and the screen is swiped hotizontally, the home screen changes and vice versa.. maybe its my phone misinterpreting my thumb movements.

just a few ideas of my own.

1. limit the icons in bottom bar to 5 and increase the size of the icon just as in iphone/twlauncher + add an Application icon in the center of icons (2,2) to give it a bit of froyo look?

2. you could remove "applications" from the menu list and add something extra instead of it ?

3. I cannot add Samsung Widgets on my home screen.. can you fix this?

4. can you make your app in such a way that users can add their own "images" and these images can be used as UI for the launcher?

also why dont you design your launcher in such a way that a user can select to run 2.0 or stable older versions of it from single apk file?

P.S.: thanks for makking this wonderful app!
[Android Apps and Games] kenshinta:
@cloakt,

I'd love to see other launchers use side-scrolling pages in the app drawer ala samsung, aside from adw. Don't mind if you "ape" that.

I think you need to port the entire touchwiz framework to use those, dunno if only the launcher itself can do so (would be glad to have someone with knowledge in this chip in).

And why no direct dl from your site?
[Android Apps and Games] trancelated:
dunno about the TWFramework, does any one know wether if the widgets are encapsulated?

I just finished watching the Acer unboxing video here: http://vimeo.com/12066497

and I must say, the Acer UI homescreen drawer at 16:00 is awesome.

would like to have something of that sort in Zeam.
[Android Apps and Games] :
apologies for the lack of description on the screenshots. the clock is called "fancy widget", and its available on Market for free. afaik htc might be kicking up a fuss about the widget, so not sure how long it will last. the screenshots will of course be updated when I release zeam2

i have rewritten most of the code in zeam 2.0.0, so we will see how it performs with sensor orientation now for you. the dock has also been rewritten and now it will save apps more efficiently and also allow for folders, bookmarks, contacts etc :) i wanna steer away from the froyo nexus look like adw, zeam needs to be unique in its own sense. samsung widgets is most likely a big no, most of the manufacturers keep their widgets internal to their launcher :( i will put up the apk of 1.5.1 when i release zeam 2, unfortunately i dont have time to maintain two branches of the app for everyone.

thanks, yep horizontal paging of the app drawer is one feature i will do immediately after the release of zeam2. i like it too :D

if anyone is wondering the state of zeam2 so far. i have implemented a much better dock, works much better and scrolls with elasticity. sense-like previews on pinch has also been implemented. live wallpapers is now supported too. elastic scrolling of desktops is also in, along with nexus style screen indicators up top. swipe up and down action mappings available too. patience while i finish up the code changes, then allow a day or two for testing and I will release :D
[Android Apps and Games] trancelated:
I dont like it because of the sole reason that the horizontal scroll makes my phone look like a completge iphone clone :(
[Android Apps and Games] :
haha true, maybe its patented :p

btw zeam 2.0.0 release, please keep the feedback coming :)
[Android Apps and Games] kschumake83:
i cant believe it... zeam was my favorite launcher, untill i had a couple force close issues on installing uninstalling apps so i took it off... and now the new version is not for android 1.5?? that is really depressing because im stuck with this motorola backflip that probably wont be updated till 2020 or so.
[Android Apps and Games] sam_a200:
thank you

Thank you so much for this wonderful launcher. Been using this in my xperia x10 and it rocks.
[Android Apps and Games] coldbeermt:
I tried to install Zeam Launcher on a Huawei U8110 Selina, but doesn't appears on market and manual installation doesn't work too.

The phone has original eclair, it's just rooted.

Is Zeam just compatible withh Froyo?

[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
Download version 2.8.8 from the opening post. That version should work for Eclair.
[Android Apps and Games] qwertzboy:
First Time I want to thank you for this nice minimalistic launcher. I used TW before because it's minimalistic too, but zeam is much more practical and usable. I love the endless dock bar.

can you add the option to open a specific app with the action bindings?
[Android Apps and Games] captaincrook:
Ok not sure if this used to be an old feature, but I would like the ability to change the dock icons size. Maybe something like small/medium/large? If it doesn't give Zeam too much bloat.

Also, the smoothness in the vertical scrolling should be applied to the side swipe style method in my opinion. Make them both smooth.
[Android Apps and Games] nenobr2:
Working fine, but the app is kinda "meh".
[Android Apps and Games] netmen5:
in pure calendar widget i don't see any position. in launcher ex and miui launcher it work fine. please help
[Android Apps and Games] evilbarcode:
Yes the action bindings are there but not to open specific apps. The only options I have are:

None

Open Applications

Move to default Screen

Expand Notifications

Screen Previews

Toggle Fullscreen

Open Dialer.

To be able to open specific apps would be a nice feature, if it doesn't Zeam that is.

Cheers,

Evil.
[Android Apps and Games] bbmadzky:
I've been using this awesome launcher app since last week and I am very happy to encounter. But I really want to have Zeam to a open-app binding action. I really like to use the lock screen apps/widget instead pressing the physical lock button. I do hope an additional action binding of opening installed app will be considered in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] Chochiwpg:
This is by far my favorite launcher that I have tried. It is all I use, I don't even use my Touch Wiz that came with the T989 Galaxy S 2. Unlimited apps on the scrollable docking bar is amazing. The docking bar alone has decreased the amount of homescreens I run to 3.

I also love that I can scroll vertically in the app drawer, so much better than going from page to page horizontally.

Love the options to swipe as well. I swipe up it goes to my dialer. I swipe down it goes to my app drawer.

Very fast, no lag whatsoever. I run it with an all black wallpaper and transitions are blazing fast.

Can't thank the developer enough, amazing job.
[Android Apps and Games] mkyrylen:
I have been using Zeam Launcher for a while, but unfortunately so has my 16 month old daughter. She tends to re-arrange the widgets / icons on the screens.

Is it possible to 'lock' widgets / icons in place?

I did look around, but no real answer, except to change your behaviour. Which does not work with a 16 month old. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Revin:
The only thing I don't like about Zeam launcher is that home button in app drawer - why it is there if every phone have button for it? Too bad there is no possibility to get rid of it...
[Android Apps and Games] _jis_:
That's not true, just search in this thread for instruction how to get rid of home button in apps drawer. But you will need root.
[Android Apps and Games] UnitedOceanic:

Problems with Zeam Launcher 3.1.10

Hi all,

I just installed Zeam 3.1.10 on my Droid running CyanogenMod 7.1.0-Droid and Android version 2.3.7. I love the small memory footprint, but am having some weird problems. I hope someone can help because I really want to keep using Zeam, but cannot the way it is working.

1. Since I installed Zeam, my Phone will call random numbers on it's own (even when the Droid is asleep). I installed it last night and when I woke up today, and woke it up, it was on the call log and showed that it had made many phone calls overnight (when I went to sleep it was on the home screen). Some to people or business that I have never called from this phone (their #s were in my contacts from the last phone I had). At one point today I was reading a SMS message and it started calling my wife. I ended the call only to have it call again within a few seconds. This happened 4 times in a row until I rebooted the phone. I CANNOT have it calling people at random especially in the middle of the night! :eek:

2. I loaded several of my favorite widgets and after a reboot, they now have a black square saying 'Problem loading widget'. I deleted and reloaded several of them only to find the black boxes again after the reboot.

I had been using GO Launcher (and still have it installed). I don't know if it being installed is causing some of the problems or not.

I love Zeam and want to use it, but these 2 problems are killing me.

Any help or suggestions are welcome.

Regards,

PepperHead
[Android Apps and Games] UnitedOceanic:
so i replaced the home icon in the application drawer.

was an easy task if you know what to do.

the outcome is okay, i hoped for more.

here are some screens:

app grid vertical - portrait

app grid vertical - landscape

app grid horizontal - portrait

app grid horizontal - landscape

[Android Apps and Games] nanny07:

[Android Apps and Games] _jis_:
I can confirm, the same here :confused:

After a few hours: Yeah, now the links are working :)
[Android Apps and Games] UnitedOceanic:
sorry about the links, dropbox had a problem there.

if anyone wants to try it, its easy and can be done on the phone without root.

you will need three apps filexpert from the market Total Commander 1 RC4 and Zipsigner2

*waring you will loose all your zeam settings (widgets, settings)*

#1 start file expert, go to "my apps" look for zeam and back it up.

#2 go back and navigate to /sdcard/backup_apps/ there you will find the zeam.apk

#3 press menu, select new, create empty file, rename it to home_button_normal.png

#4 close file expert open total commander use it in landscape mode, navigate to /sdcard/backup_apps/ press "="

#5 on the right side select the zeam.apk and click open as zip

#6 go to res/drawable-mdpi

#7 select home_button_normal.png on the left side (click on the icon) and then on the blue arrow, select override, no kompression

#8 repeat the same for res/drawable-hdpi

#9 uninstall zeam via settings, market or file expert

#10 Open Zipsigner2 select Team.apk andere sign it.

#11 install your edited signed zeam.apk via file expert or total commander

#12 if you are to lazy or a noob :cool: send me a pm ;)

I love this launcher, but do this launcher has option to hide apps?

Because when I use this launcher the apps drawer seem clutered,

maybe some will suggest to uninstall unused apps, but apps like superuser etc that i use but never open the app nomatter what I won't uninstall it...

Sorry for my bad english and long post
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:

[Android Apps and Games] Revin:

[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
Just to double check since I just got the IC OTA update for my Asus transformer...

Zeam should work on ICS and it should have native ICS scrolling for widgets, correct?

Is there a way to lock the launcher icons down?

I find that randomly the order of my launcher icons changes, and sometimes some of them will disappear on my N1. If a restart the launcher, they will come back (sometimes I need to rearrange them). I would be great if there were a way to lock this down.
[Android Apps and Games] lokapal:
dock size

The launcher is brilliant, I like it's small footprint and speed and features. But...

Always "but" is presented :-)

I'd like to resize dock icons - they are too small on my 3.2" screen. Are there any means to use bigger dock buttons, or, probably, different dock style (HTC-like, probably) ?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Hubik82:
@cloakt - is it possible to add polish language to Zeam? I can help to translate all the strings. Maybe we can create project on crowdin.net so people from other countries will be able to join?
[Android Apps and Games] vlt96:
Hey, have you seen how minimal apex is?? And it is soooooooooo awesome... it is like zeam for ics... you need to make a version special for ICS... it already has:

Trebuchet (CM9) replaced adw (CM9)

Nova replaced go launcher

Apex replaced zeam...

However, in the middle there is nemus, which looks as awesome on ics like it does on gb

[Android Apps and Games] sadastronaut:
Different folder icons

Love the launcher, and don't want you to introduce anything that bogs it down.

Something that may be nice to have is just a different folder icon. The manilla type folder icon - like the default launcher one - is just a little "blah". I'm not asking necessarily for a Go Launcher/iPhone type with the icon preview - because I imagine that slows things down a little - but just something different.

Otherwise, everything about Zeam is nice and modern looking. It's fun. But the manilla folder reminds me of tax documents, so psychologically it's unappealing. Maybe even a blue folder would be better.
[Android Apps and Games] UncleDan:
Quick and (maybe) stupid question, is it possible to translate buttons for non-English speaking?
[Android Apps and Games] plotinus:
It's an awesome launcher. Could you add a "hard to kill launcher" option to prevent restarts of the launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] caliban2:
Yeah, hard-to-kill would be nice.

Also folders like introduced with ics and a system-setting for orientation (so it's controlled by the sys).

One can dream, development seems to be in hibernation... ^^

Hello,

I'm having battery drains when in flight mode (5-6% during night) and, when switching back to normal mode, I have a high "peak" (10% drain in one hour), then it slowly goes back to normal drain (2-3% per hour).

I'm using a CM6 rom on an Acer Liquid A1.

If I switch back to the default launcher (LauncherPro) all works normally.
[Android Apps and Games] Vond:
Has there been any progress on this? Seems like it would be a very easy feature to implement and it's really frustrating me coming back to my home screen to find a folder still open.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Hi your launcher is awesome but its lacking some nonbloating features which lot of users talking about. I mean autoclose folder after launching app, bigger dock icons (on smaller screens sometimes it looks weird) and the biggest deal breaker is app drawer scrolling. I dont see a point in fixing the same code all over again and still the same result instead of copy the code from another launcher which have smooth and fast scrolling (right now i tried phoenix launcher and for me I never saw something this smooth and fast) i hope you dont abandon this and youll make this features come true. Thnx

:D:D:D:D:D
[Android Apps and Games] pdahiker:
Still the best launcher.

Been using Zeam for a while, but just recently upgraded to a Samsung Infuse phone, and running the excellent Zeus ROM. Found out that TW Launcher is causing lockscreen SOD issues, and after a recommendation of switching to a different launcher, I thought...why not give Zeam a try on this device?

WOW! What a difference. Using Zeam on a device like the Infuse is pure joy.

I can't say as I recommend changing a thing with this launcher, it does everything I need and does it beautifully.

I'm getting a problem with folders in 3.1.10. This is the sequence:

Open a folder

Run an app from the folder

Exit the app with the home button

The folder now won't open, requires a Zeam restart to fix it.

I don't think this problem existed in a previous build. In fact I think that previously, the home button would return to the screen with the folder still open.

Can anyone verify?

Thanks

Folders work fine for me and home button takes me back to the folder screen. You've tried the usual fixes: recreating the folder, clearing app data/cache, un/reinstall, clear dalvik cache, fix permissions?
