Home button

Suddenly my home button isn't working right. I think it happened with the latest version of Zeam. Normally when the button is pressed, I get an option of which homescreen program to use. As I use KS Launcher (for quick launch of programs without going to the homescreen), this is supposed to show when pressing the home button. However, after a while with Zeam, pressing home goes to home without showing the menu. If I uninstall Zeam, it goes back to normal.

Would it be possible to have as an option that Zeam leaves the homebutton untouched?

Otherwise, it's a great program, and I'm sad I had to uninstall it.

to answer my own question, zeam does indeed work fine on the galaxy s

Hello ! good launcher, like launcher pro ! just what's your weather and time widget in the screenshot????

EDIT : i've the answer !
[Android Apps and Games] Vonwesen:
Is it possible to have the phone's setting when press "menu" in the home screen !?
[Android Apps and Games] player911:
I put it on my GF's Motorola Cliq Slider. The Moto Blur sucks. Looks very nice. Icons in the launcher bar on the homescreen could be a little bigger. They seem like they're small on her screen.

Works very well.
[Android Apps and Games] :
thanks for all the feedback. unfortunately my htc desire is now in for repairs, usb port seemed to be faulty, couldn't mount or charge it even :( so development on zeam is going to be slow for a while, and deving on the emulator sux lol. also got another android project im starting..
[Android Apps and Games] cocchiararo:

Zeam 1.5.1 on Moto Backflip

So far the most stable version.

Don't know if Zeam changed or if the widget was changed (I am on MotoBlur 13.37, which is a limited release update) but the weather widget included with the Backflip displays correctly now.

Previously:

Now:

I know that the Backflip is different because of MotoBlur, but the double-tap home button setting follows the phone setting, not Zeam's.
[Android Apps and Games] :
thanks. been tinkering to try get things working the same across the board. not sure how but glad it is fixed now :) when u say 'double-tap home button' do you mean home button or double tap option or both?
[Android Apps and Games] djUniversal:
Just go to settings-applications-manage applications and find zeam launcher. Click on it and then 'clear defaults' then your home button will no longer be bound to zeam.
[Android Apps and Games] djUniversal:
That was for ajige. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] marvin02:
double tap option

The Backflip has it's own setting for this and the Zeam setting is overridden by the BF setting. More of an FYI than a complaint.

dock icons flip bug depending on orientation

has anyone noticed the problem where the order of the icons on the dock flips depending on screen orientation (eg icons are 1,2,3,4 on vertical, 0 degrees and 1,2,3,4 on rotated 90 deg)? i am using CM7.1 on a HTC G2. I have this screenshot of both angles here to give an example:

its not the end of the world but frustrating as you learn where icons are and have to keep relearning as flipped. thanks!

This is a fast launcher, but i still ended up with LauncherPro. If u just want a fast launcher, no skinning issues. Superfast, unlimted dock :)
[Android Apps and Games] Thangfish:
Yes. I posted about it a few pages back. Dock icons completely reverse order in landscape. Also dock moves to opposite end of screen, depending on which landscape side you turn it to. A very annoying bug.

The only other bug I've found is also dock related.

Dock set to center, always boots, or loads slid all the way to the right (showing left-most icons). Home button will still center it up, however.

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

No.

Left most should be top most when 90° clockwise.

[Bug] Dock order/scrolling in landscape mode

Well, just got the new update and it didn't address the dock order/scrolling weirdness.

Still reverses order of icons in landscape mode. Also still scrolls to extreme right, showing left most icons (even though mine is set to center).

Maybe next update...
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
I'm sorry, I meant perhaps it was/is the devs preference to have it set this way. To what benefit would it be to have it the way you suggest? Would this be a feature or you think you could help the dev "correct" his defective (according to you) product?
[Android Apps and Games] Thangfish:
Are you serious?

Maybe its a feature to -you- to have 5 icons reversed.

When you have 15 on a scrolling dock, its a problem to have them suddenly change order.

Have you -ever- seen a dock behave this way?

One puts icons in position on a dock to be conveniently accessed. Not too convenient when they change order, is it?

:confused:

And I'm sure that the DEV intended the "scroll reset to center" selection under dock in the preferences to not work on boot up, and to not stick in landscape mode. Feature? Ok.

If he doesn't want bug reports, that's different. Most appreciate them, in my experience.
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
You know, even though I was expecting you to take it that way; it was never intended in that manner (such is life though). I'm sure the dev welcomes bug reports but "to me", if I made a launcher that is nothing like anything out there, I would expect bug reports to be submitted and possibly just ignore them. Unless there was a good enough reason for me to consider it and fix/release a corrected version. I'm sure that's just me though. Also, I don't use 5 icons in my dock but rather two folders and I have different programs within those folders as I have dedicated keys to activate my calls and use swipe gestures, amongst other Zeam features to get what I need done. Be it a feature or a blemish, I am not trying to attack you my friend, rather getting to the root of the issue(s) you may be facing; is it unexpected or just preferred?

:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Thangfish:
Ok, whether 5 or 2 my point remains, incongruous dock scrolling and changing of dock icon order makes little to no difference to you in your particular configuration. It makes efficient operation rather difficult and tedious in mine.

It really struck me odd that you would take the side you did, unless you just haven't had to fight with it. Trust me, its a pain. Btw, no offense taken.

Also, to be clear, I love this launcher. I would never have bothered to report bugs if I didn't. I'd have just uninstalled it. But I'm sure it'll be fixed eventually.
[Android Apps and Games] motcher41:
Icons reverse but dock stays on the bottom of the phone. Not a bug its probably the design.
[Android Apps and Games] Thangfish:
If you are referring to landscape mode, and are considering the "bottom" of the phone to be the end where the buttons/soft keys are, then that is incorrect.

The dock stays on the -right hand- side in landscape. The "top" if rotated 90° clockwise, the "bottom" if rotated 90° counterclockwise. And you're right about that part being design, it may well be. I have no problem or preference with that action (leftys might, IDK).

If that's what you meant, I apologize.

Just seems important to be as specific as possible.

for some reason on my mod Im creating the dock has nothing on it just a black bar.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

really love this launcher if I could get it to work properly
[Android Apps and Games] :
First off, thank you for the software product. I have installed the launcher on my Motorola Defy and here are my feedbacks and I hope they are valuable to you.

As it was mentioned by other members the Zeam Launcher has, indeed, a small footprint. Sadly, that is the only "main" positive thing I have to say about the Zeam Launcher.

The performance on my Motorola Defy (OCed and not OCed) was really slow in particular navigating through the seven screens I setup. When navigating from the default screen to the right screen, for example, I can clearly see either the wallpaper or the shortcuts on screen start moving when the other does not. This actually causes the whole screen to lag.

The Dock implementation is not really initiative. In my opinion you have made it much harder to code, harder to manage the app, and harder for the users to use. Just to tell you, in all honesty, the dock implementation needs to go back to the drawing board again.

1. The lack of colour choice, other than Zeam Launcher's options, is very off putting.

2. The alignment and spacing options shouldn't even be there if the Zeam Launcher had similar approach to the other launchers.

Suggestions:

It would be very initiative to have an option to adjust the number of shortcuts in the Dock. Then the launcher would pre-allocate spaces for the shortcuts. Long pressing each shortcut place holder on the dock allows replacing or adding new shortcuts. My ideal number of shortcuts on the dock is four. I like the dock implementation in my Motorola Atrix.

As for the dock's background, I would highly recommend allowing users to customise it, otherwise the presets colours would be off putting as it was for me.

The other thing I found very annoying in Zeam Launcher was how close the Bin (to delete shortcuts and widgets from screen) is to the dock. Sometimes it took me ages to remove a widget from one of the screens. Placing the Bin on top is more practical in my opinion. Pressing the shortcut and swiping it to top is the quickest way to delete shortcuts or widgets.

On the positive note, adding shortcuts onto the screen from the application drawer was a smooth experience, better than my previous experiences and expectation.

I look forward to seeing your launcher being installed on more devices. Thank you for reading my post.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
I'm long and satisfied user of zeam launcher. Everything works for me just great but I'd like to see some things. I have two major requests that wont bloat this app. First and previously asked by other users is different folder icon. I mean something like iphone style or new ics, when you can see the four first apps thats in the folder. And second request is bigger icons in dock. I'm using four shortcuts in dock with gesture to open drawer. But when using this four even with larger spaces it looks weird. Thanks

Working great on the HTC Amaze 4g ever since last update. As a minimalist lost in an over-SENSEd world, I'm sure glad Zeam launcher is out there. If I had to use the stock Sense launcher I think I'd shoot myself.

BTW, where I can I find that bad ass looking wallpaper and clock in the screenshots?

I love this launcher and always use it regardless of which ROM I am using - thank you for all your hard work on it!

would it be possible to be able to sorry folders based on application name, rather than by what order you put the shortcuts in to them? Thank you again, and happy new year!
[Android Apps and Games] sniperbr0:
hi

first of all congratulations on the very good work with this launcher, it is no doubt the best choice among all launchers, and I prefer to use it the way it is even though I miss some functionalities from other launchers

there is only one thing I miss and one thing I think it is a bug or has to be changed:

bug: when in a folder, all icons behind the top folder name bar can be clicked, I think it should be blocked from being clicked until the folder is closed

feature I miss: on the fly widget resizability, being able to resize widgets without having to manually remove and add again

since I only use one home screen with lots of category folders and stuff, I don't scroll around or transfer widgets from one home to another, but when I was testing that's one thing I found very difficult, but anyways, I don't use that

the problem with using too many folders is that they all look the same in zeam... if an option to change icon could be added it would make things alot nicer

again, very good launcher, can become even better while keeping things simple :)
[Android Apps and Games] isotoper:
Amazing FAST launcher.

Only 3 things missing in my opinion :

1. Configurable screen action bindings - Can it also include "Launch App" ?

Explanation : I have a "Screen Off" app, and I used to bind it to swipe up. It's very comfortable.

2. The ability to order the app drawer by latest installed.

3. Dock items size.

Are any of these in plan ?

Thanks !!!

[Android Apps and Games] isotoper:
Yes, but the launcher already has a gesture actions listener on home screen, so adding an option of launching an app when swiping up on down will not make any change .

I have a "Screen off" app, and I'm use to swipe up in order to close the screen (swipe up=calling the "screen off" app). It's very very comfortable.
[Android Apps and Games] tcc123:
does zeam launcher have scrolling speed type of settings like launcher pro & other launchers?

Any chance getting optional fly-in/out app drawer animation as in 3.0.7 and more than six columns in landscape mode in future releases?

Current 3.1.10 animation can be sometimes laggy (i think because of icon text drawn)

Again, thank you for this launcher,

Zeam and NOOK TOUCH

Hi, dears friends!

I use ZEAM LAUNCHER ver. 83 (2.8.3?) on the my NOOK TOUCH.

It's all the best, but I have one issue.

I use the Cool Reader as a default reader.

If I start the CoolReaer like a regular application, it start with the current book in the proper reading position.

But, if I launch it with a "book" button at the top bar, CoolReader started always with an other previously opened book, and I can't change it. In this tome, in the "recent books" list my currently reading book have a first position, and I can switch to it with "switch to previous book" menu item.

Can You help me to resolve this problem?

And, by the way, what is a latest ZEAM version recommended for NOOK SIMPLE TOUCH reader?

Quite honestly, I wouldn't like Zeam any more than if any of the previous requested changes get implemented.

Home to default screen

I just intalled Zeam on my Casio Commando and found it extreemly fast. The only problem I have so far is that when I hit the home button (either the hard home of the home button under the application screen), it doesn't go to the default screen, it returns to the previous screen.

Hello cloakt,

I am a great fan of your launcher and I am using it for half a year and I was very happy with the changes and improvements on every update.

But since version 3.1.6 the application grid was becoming laggy. This is not just a personal problem, but mentioned a lot in comments on market and is the same for a friends galaxys.

we stay on version 3.1.5 till this is fixed, if it is even possible.

can you please look into this problem, would be really nice to update to the recent version of zeam launcher!

btw: using jvt tornado rom and tornado aureus rc1.

Great launcher but sadly I can't use it since it's very slow when scrolling the pages in the app launcher, either horizontally or vertically, with or without transparency effect.

Hopefully this would be fixed some day.
