since updating to 3.10 I am having major lag in app switches (to the point where I think it's an FC. It seems to be extremely unstable.) Screen goes black and I have to wait for upwards of 30 seconds before there is a response.

I'm on an Bell SGS i9000 running Darky 10.2

Is there a previous version available I can revert to? I can't use this one, it renders my phone almost unusable.

I've been using Zeam for a while, and love it, so I'm a bit disappointed that this upgrade seems to be causing so many issues.

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
Hmm. Well I have been using zeam for a while and never seen a prior version do that. I only updated zeam, no other changes, and that's what all the menus in zeams preferences look like.

Also my dock works fine. It's the new horizontal app drawer that behaves strangely. I switched to the vertical option and it's working the same as always.

I'm curious if it really is just me?

Edit: uninstalled and reinstalled and have the same issues. Nexus S running cm7.

I'm having some issues since updating to 3.1.0

When I try to get back to the homescreens from WhatsApp after replying to a message Zeam shows a black screen for a few minutes, like when it reboots. It's also done this randomly on its own a few times.

I'm running Bonsai4All 4.1.3 (a Froyo release based on Sprint's EC05) on a Samsung Epic 4g.

I've never had this issue with any other version of Zeam.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
The app drawer lags like hell on my DHD.
[Android Apps and Games] inportb:
This still seems to be a problem with today's release 3.1.0. On my G1, though, Zeam is the smoothest thing ever and I love it. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bijixda:
Fantastic

Last update deliver horizontal app drawer

Very very smooth... love it

Please make zeamlauncher available on honeycomb too (tablet)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] remizik:
Hi,

the App drawler is very laggy here too :(

mains screens are really smooth though :)
[Android Apps and Games] djice000:
I disagree, I found Zeam launcher very laggy and sucks up soooooo much ram for me, so I'll stick to the Arc Launcher, much smoother and less ram used :)
[Android Apps and Games] patriiice:
Same for me since version 3.1.0, it was not the case on previous version

What does manage wallpaper internally actually do differently?
[Android Apps and Games] :
i am aware of the freezing / anr's :( i will hopefully be looking at this tonight. as for the weird preferences transparency issue, can anyone give me steps to reproduce this as it is working fine for me on all my emulators and my 5 phones and tab :-/
[Android Apps and Games] :
enabling manage wallpapers draws the wallpaper in the zeam views. if disabled then zeam basically becomes transparent and lets Android manage the wallpaper. depending on the device manufacturer it will either speed up or slow down :-/

Hello,

i think an alternative to the dock bar are nice. For example App-Corner, like Sony Ericsson.

Does anyone have the 3.07 download link? can't use this 3.1.0 version, almost half screen with this transparency issue.

How this happened, tried to unlock the screen, the system crashed, the restarted to secure mode, and then, restarted again with this problem. Can't use the phone right now because can't touch the bottom.

[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
Well it just always looks that way. The two of us that indicated roms are on cm7 so that may be causing the problem.

Anyone not on cm7 have transparency or app drawer scrolling problems?
[Android Apps and Games] deaver_92:
Andy piggins is running oxygen 2.2.1 on the HTC Desire and still having issues so I don't think it's cm7 based. That said I'm running cm7.1 on the optimus v and having the same issue. If I scroll down a little it seems to go away for the most part.
[Android Apps and Games] deaver_92:
Figured out the transparency issue. At least on my phone anyways. The transparency for the app grid directly affects the transparency of the menus. If you set it all the way up the transparency stops in the app grid and the menus. Naturally you have to restart seam first.
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
Same for me.
[Android Apps and Games] :
hoping the black screen freezing issue is better now and the transparent menu is fixed. extremely difficult to fix something i cannot replicate.

thx for the help. can we try again on 3.1.1?
[Android Apps and Games] rickbosch:
Great launcher, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rickbosch:
I also don't see it (just installed 3.1.1). The only time I can remember it on Zeam was when I had Launcher Pro installed.

Neither here nor there really.
[Android Apps and Games] Cocolopes:
The transparency in the menus is gone...but the horizontal scrolling isn't so great...I mean take a lot of moves to change the pages...

And I still searching a way to change the drawer icon...

[Android Apps and Games] rufflove:
Favourite launcher :) The absence of horizontal pagination was the only thing luring me back to the stock ADW Launcher in the GAOSP ROM on my I7500.

A couple of suggestions if I may? Wrap-around/looping for the applications grid when in horizontal mode would be cool. Secondly, even more minimalism(!); it'd be great to have the option to run Zeam without the dock, saving a little memory in the process. Some older phones like the I7500 are not short of physical buttons, they are however short on screen real estate and RAM ;)

Other than that, I'd love to see the source opened :D The possibility of integrating zeam into android.process.acore would be a boon for those us with low-powered phones.

All that said, again, great launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] serious-sam:
Thanks

Okay, first post for me...discovered this after purchasing LauncherPro and watching the development fall by the wayside. Love the minimalistic nature of this thing; it does what I want and it does it fast. Thanks for the effort and keep up the great work!

The real reason for the post...version 3.1.1 fixed alot of the issues I was having; the menu transparency and the sluggish transitions when I rotated the device or hit the home button. However, I'm still having one problem (reproduce as follows):

5 screens

Go to far left screen and open an app (let's say NewEgg)

Close the app and try to scroll further left so that it loops back to the far right screen

...it won't do it! It will bounce (elastic effect) about 2 or 3 times and THEN it will loop back around to the far right screen.

Anyone else having this problem? Running Droid X on 4.5.602 but it was also doing it on 4.5.596.
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
That solved the transparency issue.

Scrolling in the horizontal app drawer is still funky. Sorry I don't know how to figure out what's causing it.

Thanks for the support and for your continued work on zeam. It's the best out there.
[Android Apps and Games] spambayes:
Hi,

Just updated to 3.1.1 from 3.0.7 and finding lags in app drawer opening transitions as well as scrolling.

Going back to 3.0.7

Keep up the good work. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] kyramas:
Thanks for the quick updates. Horizontal scrolling is laggy especially from right to left.
[Android Apps and Games] dhiatt3:
Thanks!

Appreciate the Zeam update.

Any chance of dragging widgets to the dock?

Would love to have total number of messages and emails populating in the icon on the dock.

Great stuff. Keep it coming.
[Android Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
help please
[Android Apps and Games] rickbosch:
The dock icons can't be resized. And you can't customise the notification bar in the launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Reaver027:
Scrolling in the horizontal App Drawer is really strange.

From left to right its really difficult. But from right to left it works perfectly.
[Android Apps and Games] rkotho:
thx for the share
[Android Apps and Games] nemt:
I'm still having some issues with Zeam 3.1.1 - they appear to only occur when running low on system memory or restarting Zeam, though. I'm seeing my icons and widgets disappear for a few minutes, the screen freezing in portrait or landscape and even some FCs (I filed a poorly worded market report). I'm also still getting the black screen problem from 3.1.0, but much more rarely.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] phixie:
Old version?

Sorry if this a newbie question or otherwise a misplaced question. I have been looking for a Zeam version that works on Android 2.1 and can't find it (at least from a legit source).

I gave my Xperia X8 to my girlfriend and I done a reset on the phone (actually did the last upgrade from SE from 2.1 update 1 to /whatever/ - it didn't much more than add ANT+ as far as I can see...).

Problem is that I had Zeam Launcher and can't install it again because now it requires android 2.2

Does the 2.8.8 apk on first post of this thread works on eclair?

Thanks in advance...
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Later in the thread I posted that I discovered it was there for me because I have launcher Pro installed, but unused, so it was showing the app grid. I also mentioned that if you had 3-4mb to spare it might be a workaround (assuming the pay and free versions of LP are similar for this feature).
[Android Apps and Games] arjcba:
First of all, great app! Best launcher i've tried so far. Keep up the awesome work!

Since 3.1.0 (i'm currently using 3.1.1) i'm experiencing a little annoyin bug. When i plug my usb data cable Zeam closes and only come back when i unplug the cable. I already checked if i stored Zeam on my SD (i know you can't move it to SD, just to be sure)... I have no idea what is the problem, until Zeam 3.0.8 it worked flawless

Here some tech info that may help:

Cellphone: Motorola Defy

Android: 2.2.1

Zeam: 3.1.1
[Android Apps and Games] GetPatriotized:
Why is it lagging? I'm on XPeria Play.

Hey guys. since the last update yesterday, apps seem to take longer to close because the team launcher seems to restart every time. any ideas?

[Android Apps and Games] mawster:
Since around 2.9.x 3.0.x zeam has been really buggy for me on samsung galaxy s / 2.3.1.

Now (since like 3.1 or a little earlier) it has stopped crashing and now seems more stable for me.
[Android Apps and Games] beirtipol:
Just crashed when i closed the browser after the previous message:) bug report sent
[Android Apps and Games] spambayes:
Same here. I would go into the Alarm Clock to make some changes to an alarm or set a new alarm and after I back out, the homescreen would be blank and the widgets/icons would start redrawing onto it.
[Android Apps and Games] Reder13:
This latest update has made Zeam unusable. Samsung Vibrant.

It constantly redraws icons, loading the app tray takes over a minute if it even loads at all without crashing, home screen takes almost two minutes to load from an app. Not sure what bugs were fixed, but this update has created a slew of new ones for me.

Please fix or make a rollback available.

I can also confirm the restarting issue. It only happens occasionally for me though. I've also had quite a few force closes since the update to 3.1.1, often at system boot (but a few times also after the phone was running for a couple of hours).

Sent from my GT-I5800
[Android Apps and Games] GadgetFreak:
Which is interesting since I have found the 3.1.1 version to work out just fine on my nookColor.
[Android Apps and Games] mawster:
This is exactly the behavior I have been seeing for a while - with updates after around 3.0. I actually have a better experience now, so for me these problems were extremely frequent (it basically restarted every time I switched back from another app) up until the latest update or so 3.1-ish.

Another issue I have had is that zeam looses the keymappings frequently (since 2.9+-ish), which never happened before. I have mapped my "navikey" (large-key, anyway) to go to the launcher. Now, it often asks me to choose launcher (yes, I do set it to "remember" the setting...). This has also happened less now, but was almost every second time before.
[Android Apps and Games] melvinchng:
Scrolling is very very bad in vertical.

[Android Apps and Games] swechrill:
I like Zeam a lot. I have tried a lot of other launchers but Zeam is the best so far.

What i miss in Zeam:

1.No dock option (or change iconsize in dock)=Larger icons

2.Uninstall apps from application grid.

Keep up the good work!!
[Android Apps and Games] dcos:
I believe that option no. 2 is available pres menu while in application grid: )
[Android Apps and Games] Peter_Peterson:
you can change the spacing, so you have space for 7 icons in the dock

Don't use the horizontal paging for applications but nice we now have a choice and that we get to set our own default. Nice way to approach future changes, as much as people want it to be like the launcher they had, there's many of us who use Zeam precisely because its not like other launchers!

Hello, first of all, thank you for a great launcher. i decided to give it a try as my first launcher ever. Still trying to figure out the options.

Also, is it possible to make the launcher icons bigger? I mean the ones at the bottom of the screen...

I want to like this launcher, it's got everything I wwant in a tiny package without bloat.

...but it lags on my NS, and I've tried every single release as of 2.9.6. Why is it that this lightweight launcher is slower than most other launchers I've tried? Makes no sense to me.

But anyway, the app drawer opening effect, screens previews, and screen transitioning are all choppy. Moreso the first than the latter though. And I've tried Zeam with nearly every ROM available to my phone, including stock.

So, could you grant my some words of wisdom? Thanks :)

New Feature

Hello,

Zeam is a nice Launcher. And I wish to add a new Feature. where can I write down my idea(s) for new Features for Zeam Launcher? Is there a BugTracker or something else?

My Idea is an alternative Dock-Bar. So the user can choose the normal Dock-Bar or the App-Corner. So I can use the whole Screen for Widgets and only on the four Corner of the screen I see a small Icon from the App, which I add to this.

I hope this feature are good enough to add it to Zeam.
[Android Apps and Games] :
try a non-CM rom like DevNull: http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=164 it is the fastest for me on my nexus s
[Android Apps and Games] treUse:
I've tried ROMs like Bugless Petes and Oxygen and It's still not smooth. I'll give this a shot though.

Does Zeam use the GPU in the NS? And if not; is that hard to implement?

Thanks for the advice :)
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
The only thing i miss is the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. Then it would be perfect for me.
[Android Apps and Games] myechophone:
Thanks, yes, it showed up now. I did not have any icons on home screen (except launcher) and hence, nothing showed up initially. I can now see the labels.

Any idea how to make the launcher icons larger?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Great work on this launcher! Very fluid and it seems that my battery lasts a lot longer than with launcher pro!

Several issues since the two last updates though:

-Sometimes when I launch an application it closes after 5 seconds, bringing me back to launcher. Then hard reboot and everything's fine again.

-Since the last update Zeam reboot everytime I close an application. This is very annoying: takes 1 or 2 seconds before I can keep using the phone.
