[Android Apps and Games] jbirney:
Probably not 1/2 half as much as we are to see you back. Thanks for your hard work and if you need anything from us just let us know....

Of course not saying I would actually do anything to help as I am too lazy...just kidding ;) :) :) :)

Thanks again Cloakt!!

Please if you can put traduccition of spanish y your next version 2.9
[Android Apps and Games] Blown 89:
I've been messing around with new launchers this week and after it was all said and done I went back to Zeam. It's simple, fast, and works brilliantly. I'm glad it's still being supported. I don't see a donate link anywhere but there should be one IMO.
[Android Apps and Games] bharath063:
could someone plz attach the app hereitself. It would be very useful 4 all.
[Android Apps and Games] jdhas:
The app is available in the Android Market. Can't get much more useful than that.
[Android Apps and Games] boardtc:
Downloadsquad gone today and then I did an update via appbrain and was disbelieving, zeam is back, how awesome is that!!!! Great news:-)
[Android Apps and Games] OgietheThrop:
Zeam is back!!! Happy day!
[Android Apps and Games] K900:
Wow, cloakt is back! Welcome ^__^

Sent from a piece of ginger bread... Now with a little cyan tint :)
[Android Apps and Games] r0nin ar1es:
Kinda a noob

Okay, as I said before, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this launcher...

and I would really like to show it off and maybe even start a Show your Zeam homescreen thread, but I wanted to make sure I understand all the features so I can make my Epic as beautiful as I want it to be.

I've messed with mostly everything in the preferences but some things dont seem to do anything, or atleast not that I noticed.

So I just had some question about what exactly these features do:

elastic scrolling

scrollable widget support

widget size spanning

default manage wallpaper to off

action icons

Or if there is a rundown of what each option does that would be lovely.
[Android Apps and Games] Viktator:
I love Zeam. Runs so smoothly on my Nexus S. But, wouldn't it be great with the 3D-app drawer? It is much smoother then the old one that comes with zeam.

Im really happy zeam is getting updates again :) But please give me the 3d app drawer to it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Cocolopes:
Can you make a horizontal app drawer?

Happy to have you back....this is the best launcher!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Furzbirre:
with manuell app sorting?
[Android Apps and Games] absro:
Cloakt, can I please start shooting people making those requests?

IMHO, Zeam is great. I use it for about 1/2 year and I had no serious issues.
[Android Apps and Games] Furzbirre:
Who's talking about issues? :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] absro:
Well, when something/someone is (almost) perfect, don't try to improve it... You will just ruin everything.

One good example in the software area is Total Commander. I use it since it was called Windows commander, about 10 years ago. Right now, it's in an almost perfect state and the author just fixes some issues. No need to add something exotic to it: it does its job very well and you risk to ruin everything with additional functionality.

Remember: each new feature is an open door for generic bugs...
[Android Apps and Games] sashajovicic:
If you need 3d drawer + horizontal app scroll... use other launchers!!

Leave at least this one SIMPLE as it is !!

Big support for developer :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Samhain77:
You're right!!!!:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
I know you guys don't like (too many/fancy) requests for this project and that is a good thing.

However, there is one thing that always bugged me: The lack of an option to turn off the dock bar.

That would fit great in the simple concept of this launcher as it does not add anything, but allows users to remove even more useless clutter.

I posted this earlier, but that was moments before development paused.

In the meantime, I bought a Nook Color tablet and being able to remove the dockbar has since become even more important to the point where I'm constrained to use ADW as it is the only launcher I know that has this feature.

This is really pretty much he only thing that keeps me from using Zeam again. I have grown to love this launcher so much :D

I can't be the only one who does not (like to) use dockbars.
[Android Apps and Games] sashajovicic:
Well :))) use ADW than :p
[Android Apps and Games] wanfauzan:
is it possible to run this launcher as Foreground Application? Zeam runs always as Hidden Application and is always been killed when I run too many apps.

Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
How funny..

The point is: I have to use one of the most bloated launchers around just to get the minimal interface I crave. If Zeam is about simplicity, then it would be great if the dock bar could be removed altogether.
[Android Apps and Games] ruvort:
Sound logic there I must say. I must agree :) I think it would add to the whole concept of this launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Ph1b:
It's buggy:

The whole destop is not focussed on the middle. Take a look at the Music-Widget: It is closer to the right border, then to the left border.

If I restart the launcher, the widgets stay in the middle for a while, but after some time thats messed up again.
[Android Apps and Games] wanfauzan:
is it just me, or this new version often gets killed by the system? I didn't adjust anything at my Memory Management Setting.
[Android Apps and Games] Cocolopes:
Horizontal app scroll don´t uses more ram than the vertical app scroll....I think it´s not a complicate idea...it´s just a option to have more coustimization in the launcher.

And we don´t want to use another launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro.
[Android Apps and Games] :
hahahah

this will make a lot of people hate me, zeam 2.9.x onwards will be compiled in API version 8, android 2.2. so i will be uploading the last 2.1 compatible version to this thread...

yes plz :D tbh i do see and read everyones feature requests, but i only have limited time and at the end of the day i am working on zeam for how i would like it. then share it and if people appreciate it thats an added bonus.

i am still trying to resolve this. i have removed the scrollable widgets api as this was causing too many bugs and problems for me, personally i prefer lightweight and stability. since removed i havent noticed it happening again, then again i have never really had the issue myself.

appreciate everyones good words :D
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
I am sure the XDA community, as a whole, appreciates your hard efforts to making such a desireable launcher! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jesssiii:
If you remove the dock icons, you have no dock bar (set dock background to transparent in preferences).

DInc w/ Zeam Launcher

Chad's Incredikernel

CyanogenMod 7.0 Stable
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
If I do that, I have a dock bar without icons. An empty line of wasted space.

Obviously, I'd like the homescreen grid to adapt to the free space if the dock bar could be disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] jdhas:
I think you're missing the point of this launcher. Zeam is minimal in the sense of a minimal and streamlined feature-set, not in the sense of giving the user the maximal ability to be as minimal as possible. You're asking for yet another feature for a launcher whose dev is clearly "new feature adverse".
[Android Apps and Games] sleepyfu:
Better yet, in the app drawer press menu, you can uninstall straight from the drawer.

[via XDA premium]
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
I'm fully aware that I dared to post a feature idea and I stated that right at the beginning of my first post.

I'm also fully aware that it is completely up to cloakt to add and remove features as he likes. Just wanted to give some input

That said, where am I missing the "point" of this Launcher? If it's not "This launcher has a dockbar!!1!", then I remain convinced that my "request" makes perfect sense in the context and scope of this launcher. Otherwise, I would not have posted it. It's not about "maximum mininimal" (why do people always have to jump to the extreme?), it's about a feature that's not useful for everyone but is forced upon users by almost every single launcher out there.

I'm not asking for eyecandy, I just thought it would be neat to be able to disable a feature that's already there. Well, I repeat myself...

I might have mistaken this thread for a place to share opinions and ideas

EDIT: Meh, I guess shouldn't have written this. I posted my idea and I guess I can be sure cloakt read it. That's all I came for. No need to spark more pointless discussion
[Android Apps and Games] jesssiii:
Oh, I see. Sorry, I've run it "naked" before for looks. I'm not a big widget person so I never thought of wasted space.

[Android Apps and Games] br-amm:
A few hours ago I installed Zeam Launcher, and I like the minimalistic setup. However, I'm looking for the exact same feature Arbelzapf is looking for: A way to really disable the dock, instead of just removing the items from it and set it to have a transparent background.

Great launcher by the way!
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Do I hear a Poll, in the works ? ;)

I, for one, could care less about wasted space but that's just me. I'm sure there are a plethora of others who would love to get rid of the dock and add a 3D app drawer, not to mention remove other features and add more laggy features to it. :D :p To eventually make this more like ever other launcher out there... :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] br-amm:
Why do you get adding laggy features and 3D app drawers into this? You really have no argument imo.

We're talking about the simple option to *disable* something that currently can't be disabled. I really don't need any laggy features in return, just some screen space! :)
[Android Apps and Games] wanfauzan:
Resolved it. Just in case someone is facing the same problem like I did.

at this line to /system/build.prop

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

If you want zeam to run as Foreground Apps, use the smaller number. I use -12. This may affect stability though, as my phone crashed after reboot with -12 setting.

Now I am another happy zeam user!

Anyone else?

[Android Apps and Games] ianm2k4:
I have Oxygen 2.0.3 with no problems. I have updated to the latest kernel though, not sure if that is relevant.
[Android Apps and Games] HolzwurmMarkus:
NO problems after Update to 2.8.8 with Oxygen 1.0.4 here...

I will change to the neweset Oxygen in the next hours and install Zeam 2.8.8 there and report :)
[Android Apps and Games] Revin:
Yes! Development of Zeam launcher is back!

I like this minimalistic launcher, I don't need any 3D garbage.

Only one thing I am missing - organising app drawer in folders and organising apps in folder.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Sorry, that was my attempt at sarcasm :o ( obviously an epic fail :D )

Simply stating that I like Zeam as is even without that option; which I wouldn't mind to have but I don't really care much for it ;) :D Additionally, I agree with you; my opinion as an XDA member shouldn't out weigh those of everyone elses and I appreciate you for attempting to explain the thoughts and opinions of everyone else to me :)
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
No need to apologize. Sorry if I sounded rude
[Android Apps and Games] jbirney:
Well I think no app is ever perfect but you get to that point where is great enough. Has Zeam gotten there with its speed/feature set? I think so but we all have our own ideas. Some of these suggestions are interesting in the own right (not saying they should or should not make it)
[Android Apps and Games] xenmonkey:
I'd like to be able to remove stuff from the app drawer.

After that I think it will be there :D
[Android Apps and Games] phroenix:
minor bug

one of my shortcuts in the dock never stays put in its place with app reloads and phone reboots...it keeps jumping to the right one space and its only that one shortcut all the others stay where i put them.

Kinda like its got a mind of its own and is being a problem child :D

Any thoughts as to what i can do?

never had this problem in 2.8.6 but want to test to see if its any of my other mods or rom specific. Has anyone got the 2.8.6 apk? i foolishly didnt create a separate backup when updating, although there is no foolishness using this app its simply amazing-exactly what im after i like this devs thinking!

x10 mini pro cm6
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
I've considered uploading my copy but I'm sure the dev would apprecaite it more to upload which ever they perfer to. Since he/she is going to eventually do this anyway. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] lubieplacki:
Hi!

I have a problem with your launcher: every time I'm turning up some apk (e.x. Market, Music Player, even Settings menu) and I want to close apk and return to home screen, all icons and widgets had to reload and I must wait for my phone to be ready often 20-30s. What's wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] wanfauzan:
If your phone is rooted, add this line to /system/build.prop

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

With this, zeam will launch as secondary server. If you want zeam to run as Foreground Apps, use the smaller number. I use -12. This may affect stability though, as my phone crashed after reboot with -12 setting.
[Android Apps and Games] manekineko:
Just my 2 cents on ways to improve this great launcher:

1. Bug fix: When scrolling past the farthest home screens on either side, the way further scrolling works is very quirky. Sometimes you can scroll the icons very far, such that you see a screen with almost no icons on it before you let go and they snap back on. Other times, you can only scroll them very short, before they apparently hit an invisible wall, usually about 20% of the screen width over, and even though you keep moving your finger, they don't scroll any further.

It seems like a bug that it's unpredictable which it'll do, and I much prefer the former rather than the much more common latter, since it's kinda satisfying to be able to slide the icons out of the way to see the wallpaper. It's minor, but this launcher is so polished already, and nearly feature complete, little bug fixes like this would be nice. If my description of the problem is unclear and cloakt has any interest, I can make a video demonstrating what I'm talking about.

2. Improvement: It'd be nice if the menu button lower left option "Applications" which currently opens the application grid would on Gingerbread instead be like the latest stock launcher and open up the Gingerbread task manager. Already have plenty of ways to open up the app list, and I do miss the task manager shortcut in stock.

Landscape works here (Samsung Moment, 2.1) but the icons all overlap some
[Android Apps and Games] :
I added landscape support for phones that require landscape. Eg: Motorola Droid etc. If your phone isnt meant to work in landscape, it wont. I might add the auto-rotate feature later on. For the next release I am rewriting a bunch of stuff that will hopefully make things alot quicker and smoother :)
[Android Apps and Games] snopkowsky:

hi cloakt. not sure if it's hard to implement but if possible please include option to hide shortcut labels in you future releases. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bestialbub:
...p-p-please bring back full screen

the full screens what made you feel like you were in a home replacement. :(
[Android Apps and Games] drkow19:
That is for 2.0 and above! It requires more powerful hardware too be smoother. I run 1.6 on my old phone and I like using Zeam. Landscape mode worked for me, good update.
[Android Apps and Games] :
yeah this is definitely an option, actually had this planned for a while now. once this are nice and stable i will be putting some new functionality in.

lol yeah i will look into fullscreen mode again. had some problems with the screens view and fullscreen so i removed it temporarily.

oh and btw, 1.3.1 is out :)
[Android Apps and Games] CreazioN:
..

Did you change the way it looks when changing screens? This is not good in the new version, its, how can i say it, not floating nor smooth :(
[Android Apps and Games] Evil_E:
I agree. The new speed improvments makes my X10 behave sluggish like hell when changing screens...
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
been using zeam for a couple of weeks now and it is imo the best launcher around :)

i was going to suggest making the screen picker screen not so transparent but i see that has already been done in the last update.

unfortunately the app drawer launch button seems to have become less responsive with 1.3.1, i have to tap it a few times or flick it up to get it to open.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mikey242:
Fantastic, thanks for changing the low-res icons, was the only thing stopping me from changing over to Zeam full time.

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] phynix5800:
Thnx for this great launcher! Unfortunately, landscape mode is not working at all on Samsung Spica with Android 2.1.

EDIT: just read the post earlier. Autorotate enabled landscape support would be nice!
[Android Apps and Games] :
yeah auto rotate is on the cards..

overlapping issues fixed in 1.3.2

finished fullscreen support in 1.3.2

Zeam on Moto Backflip - feedback

Zeam version 1.32 on a Motorola Backflip with Android 1.5 and Motoblur 0.13.35 (the current limited release update)

Screen rotates to landscape mode when the keyboard is open, but when you tap a folder icon to open the folder Zeam force closes. Folders open fine in portrait mode.

On the Backflip you get used to having the contacts available from every screen, so can one of the options for the left and right buttons be contacts?

The stock weather widget display is spread out with Zeam.

Zeam:

Default Home app:

Using the stock home app the weather and calendar widgets fit side-by-side.

Also (IMO) - The default action for dropping an icon from a homescreen into the 'drop zone" should be to NOT un-install.

Apps that support auto-rotate do so on the Backflip.
[Android Apps and Games] knevski:
Sorry, actually that was not a problem, instead it was my mistake.
[Android Apps and Games] fye85:
hi cool apps but widgets dont work on htc tattoo
[Android Apps and Games] mindugo:

[Android Apps and Games] rogdias:
Slow new version?

I've been using Zeam for some time with great success.

However after a recent upgrade my Galaxy with Froyo got so slow when coming home that I had to return to the regular TWlauncher.

I'm not certain if this is due just to Zeam for I've had other upgrades along. Is there a way to downgrade Zeam? Perhaps this way I would have means to check if the problem is really from Zeam or not.

Cheers.

Roger

Please bring it back.

My Favorite launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] stepsch:
...and again: it's not really competing with other launchers. It's just a launcher for those who don't have any need for stuff which makes it slow. It's for those who like the fastest, smoothest interaction with your screen. A few customization options are given, that's it.

No other stuff where you always forget what has been adjusted and where to find again. :D

It's awesome, cloakt. It meets perfectly what I prefer. Many thanks for resurrection. :)
[Android Apps and Games] wanfauzan:

you need a reboot after that
[Android Apps and Games] theb3s7:

We no more have the Scrollable Widgets, why ?!

It was the perfect launcher, now it's useless to me.

Plz bring back scrollable widgets!!!! Its part of the reason i dl'ed ZEAM!!!! Thx in advance :-p
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
Thanks for continuing development & I love the minimalist philosophy of Zeam.

+1 for returning scrollable widget support.
[Android Apps and Games] TMinh:
In my opinion, it will never be perfect without the option to hide app in drawer =.=
[Android Apps and Games] BeeGee_Tokyo:
You ask if I am mad because you removed scrollable widgets?

YES I AM MAD.

Your launcher was perfect and I sticked to it, even without any updates over weeks. It is smooth, easy to use and perfect for my phone.

But without scrollable widgets its useless for me.

Please bring back the scrollable widget support. I do not see any speed improvement after you removed it and to be honest I do not understand why you removed it.

[EDIT]

Went back to last version and disabled updates, happy with the last version before you removed scrollable widgets.

[/EDIT]
[Android Apps and Games] wildgunman:
i don't need scrollable widgets but an option to hide apps in the drawer would be perfect

The ONE for me, no need scroolable widget for the moment.

But seems to me that older versions are smoother than 2.9 ?
