First of all, this seems to be a great launcher. Runs very smooth, doesn't take up much space and won't eat up your ram. However, I really don't like the iPhone-style app drawer, so I changed to vertical scrolling, but it's lagging like hell.

I have a HTC Desire (Bravo)

I double-checked everything, there is 100+MB free RAM, I tried to overclock the CPU, tried it with LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5, LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R3, LeeDrOiD V3.0.8.2 GB, Cyanogenmod 7.0.3, Cyanogenmod 7.1RC1. It's exactly the same, no matter what I do.

Is this a known issue?
[Android Apps and Games] chris10230:
Anyone know why it uses data? I run my data manager and realised that it uses 10-20mb per month....
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
That's a good question. I would be interested in the answer too. Some ROMs (CM7, GB Deck) let you block that permission.
[Android Apps and Games] chris10230:
Yeh may block and see if it still works....

Edit cant seem to see a mobile data permission for it hmmmm
[Android Apps and Games] TheCreat:
You haven't read his post properly. He's aware of that but would like an option to have zeam respect the system-wide rotation setting (as do I).

But at the moment I'd rather prefer the crashes on app update and Staten boot to be fixed. I really love this launcher and would like to continue using it, but this is starting to be too much. It occasionally gets into a crash loop (as i've previously reported) which makes the phone unusable for quite some time...

change icons on zeam

im really liking zeam but i cant seem to change the icons on the dock.

i read thru the thread and a post said i have to use desktop visualizer (tried but it didnt work) while some posts say its not possible. however ive seen some pics with different icons so it does seem possible.

can anyone tell me how to do this?
[Android Apps and Games] InfiniteRisen:
Wish there was a feature to backup zeam settings and that swiping up or down could launch a specific app.

Swyped from my LG-P509 using XDA App.
[Android Apps and Games] remizik:
it's working fine.

just create the shortcut on the desktop first, with a custom icon.

And then drag'n'drop it on the dock :)
[Android Apps and Games] rab1412000:
you mean with desktop visualizer? itried it but it wont work,
[Android Apps and Games] Cocolopes:
Yes...its work...I did it..and I mod the launcher so I change the trash and the app drawer icon. When I figured how to attach files in xda app...I'll post some screenshots.

I attached the screenshots
[Android Apps and Games] rab1412000:
yes i can do that but i want to attach it to the dock, since some other posters said this is the way to change dock icons. however it would not 'stick' to the dock
[Android Apps and Games] Cocolopes:
I don't understand you...when you create the shortcut you have to dragit to the dock...and them you have the custom icons in the dock...if you want to block the icons...so you can't drag them out of the dock...that is not possible...
[Android Apps and Games] rab1412000:
the desktop visualiser shortcut/widget wont stick to the dock.
[Android Apps and Games] Cocolopes:
I think you are trying to stick a widget to the dock...you have long press the screen, then in to add to screen---> shortcuts ---->desktop visualizer and create the shortcut... I wish you can do it
[Android Apps and Games] rab1412000:
thanks! those are the instructions i needed.

hi guys

anyone can create and update.zip with last version of Zeam

place app in /system/app/

name package Zeam.apk

p.s. edify script

i wrong permission :P

best regards
[Android Apps and Games] michoux:
It not exactly what we want necause you just can select "no auto rotate" or "auto rotate" and not "use system configuration" that mean when i switch system auto rotate off zeam disable auto rotate behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] ReconRob:
I don't have any issue with Zeam using data. I use Juice Defender and I didn't set Zeam with any permissions. Soooo, Juice Defender doesn't turn on so it can move any data. Unless...Zeam is doing it when JD is allowing another service access. Will have to do some checking on that and get back to you guys.
[Android Apps and Games] chris10230:
I had a talk with the dev and he has no idea on the front. When I get some time, I will look into it. Just really odd :/
[Android Apps and Games] ntnlzr:
hi guys i've resolved my problem :P
[Android Apps and Games] echolock:
Excellent app. I've switched from ADWLauncher Ex as basically I didn't need all the customisation and the extra speed was a bonus.

I know it's not exactly the point of a fast launcher like this adding extra features, but I'd love a "lock" feature for the homescreen. My OH's Wildfire would benefit greatly from Zeam but until it has this feature it wouldn't work for her - she's always accidentally deleting stuff and getting frustrated when the phone lags up!

Would be much obliged. When's the donate version coming out?

Zeam: Default Wallpaper

If I change the wallpaper and then want to go back to the default water and islands picture, where can I find it?

[Android Apps and Games] TSAnouaar:
The app list loads too slow, 3.07 was in my opinion better.
[Android Apps and Games] djshack:
I'm loving Zeam and how smooth it is on my Nexus S, but regarding the horizontal paging app drawer, I have a couple of issues to point out:

(1) The open/close animation is very choppy--as though it stutters--when using horizontal paging, but not when using the vertical scrolling.

(2) I feel as though I have to swipe way too far to switch pages, as opposed to the perfect small flick I have to do to switch homescreens.

Until these are fixed, I'll be using the vertical scrolling drawer. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] lbartoszczyk:
....

I AGREE in 100%
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
I've given up on Zeam since it lost scrolling widgets, but I keep an eye out here because I liked it so much otherwise. I wanted to give the horizontal paging a try and once I realized what it was supposed to be I kept trying it in each release. I felt I couldn't use it for exactly this reason. It just seemed that I had to work too hard to move from page to page. It wasn't until I read this that I realized exactly what made it "too hard" for me. It was how far you had to move to get to the next page. For me, I more often didn't actually get the next or previous page but ended up launching an app by mistake instead.

So even though I no longer use it I can say that the paging problem has been around a very long time.
[Android Apps and Games] vinal:
On rooted froyo nook color, a swipe across ~20% of screen flips the horizontal app grid pages for me. Even if I needed to swipe 75% of screen I could live with it to use a such a great launcher. Each phone/tablet/user is different though.
[Android Apps and Games] a_c_s:
My brother's epic is stuck in a boot loop caused by Zeam. He doesn't recall even installing it on his phone, but in any case, can't seem to get around it. I have tried flashing two other launchers in the hope it would trigger the choice screen with the launcher dropdown, but no luck... just reboots right into the force close loop with zeam... any quick advice on anything else I could try to get out of this? Trying to save my bro's data, as he had not backed up in several months (I've since lectured him on this)... Thx
[Android Apps and Games] vinal:
If you can an boot into recovery and get adb to work there, you might be able to use 'adb uninstall' to remove zeam. Not sure if that works in recovery or the package name, but someone else here might.
[Android Apps and Games] ReconRob:
What about this: If you go ahead a boot into recovery and do the restore from the last backup, just don't do a data wipe. Wouldn't that leave everything alone, text msgs, ect.? As long as he didn't change text apps or nothing like that. The data would still be there. Right?

Edit: Does he have Titanium Backup? Restore apps with data would do the trick after the restore.
[Android Apps and Games] a_c_s:
The backup was in mybackup in terms of the contacts, but I was able to fix permissions in recovery... thx for the suggestions...
[Android Apps and Games] ReconRob:
Glad you got it worked out!
[Android Apps and Games] thmsmllr:
This is one of the best, if not the best, launcher i've ever used. Everything runs so smooth and nice. Keep up your amazing work!
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
I've had to give up on Zeam due to continuing freezes with the dock icons and other oddities. The homescreen swiping became less and less fluid over the last 2 months also. Now back to Launcher Pro but hardly can stand not having my 20 fav apps in the dock. :(
[Android Apps and Games] DevRMK:
I love this launcher. I used it to squeeze out more life out of my original Droid and now I can't let to go... it just has to be on my DroidX.
[Android Apps and Games] ReconRob:
Not sure if you tried or not, but did you wipe the cache for Zeam in the app manager? Or maybe wiping the entire cache partition via recovery? You could reinstall Zeam and see if it happens again.
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Actually, it wiped itself. One day about 2 weeks ago I rebooted the phone after a version update for Zeam and when it was done there were no widgets, no dock icons, or anything except a wallpaper. I cleared cache, stopped it, uninstalled, rebooted with native Virgin Mobile launcher several times then reinstalled Zeam the next day. Within a few days it was doing strange things again. Went back to Launcher Pro, which is buttery smooth even my underpowered Optimus V, but I still like the Dock setup better on Zeam.

I'll give it a go again in a few weeks or so.
[Android Apps and Games] ReconRob:
I'm not going to give up. Did you have a backup at all? Do you use Tibu? Your qoute "I cleared cache, stopped it, uninstalled, rebooted with native Virgin Mobile launcher several times then reinstalled Zeam the next day"

But, did you go back to a previous backup? The reason I ask is that (before I learned about the newest version) I kept going back to previous version via TiBu to get what I wanted. (Thanks Chris 10230)

The version you had before worked better? Just because you have an update, doesn't mean it works for you and your setup. Maybe you should do a cache wipe then run the update? There are a few things you can do to see what works. Good Luck Bro! But...if Launcher pro works...then go with it.
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Backup? Tibu? Dude, this is a launcher, not a ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] InfiniteRisen:
He means did you restore zeam via titanium backup or fresh market install.

3.0.7 vs 3.1.3

I must say - Zeam is just the best launcher. I'm using it for more than half an year and it really does the job done. cloakt, thank you!

But (it's just my opinion) 3.1.3 in some aspects worse than 3.0.7:

1. Sometimes app grid is not drawn in 3.1.3.

2. New transition effect on drawing app grid looks a bit out of place - can fly in/transition effect be set in options?

Actually, i'm really satisfied with 3.0.7 already, just would like to suggest some features:

Selectable app grid effect / effect speed

Cached portrait/landscape screens for faster redraw on orientation change.

Running apps / recent apps grid

Folders? No, apps organizer does it's job
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
I assumed when I said "reinstalled" it was pretty clear I meant I installed from the market. I would call restoring from Titanium a "restore". I guess he didn't see it that way.

Zeam issues after a clean install was the point I was trying to make. Hope this clears it up.
[Android Apps and Games] Zee_13:
Just tried this launcher for the first time. I have always used Launcher Pro cause it works so fluid on my Xperia X10. I tried this one as it was the "lightest launcher" of them all. The problem is that the scrolling in the add drawer lags, seriously. If im at horizontal it just bounces back to the same screen all the time. While on vertically i have severe lagging.

So, is this a problem with the app it self or my X10?
[Android Apps and Games] kocekin:
Same here on my SGS2.

The app drawer lags really bad in vertical for me. Not usable.
[Android Apps and Games] mgtroyas:
I absolutely love this launcher. RAM usage is half the other launchers and looks good.

But there's one thing I think should be fixed: with horizontal app drawer you must swipe at least half of the screen to flip to the next page. Most times I move my finger less than that and come back to the same page, and sometimes I go one in the opposite direction!

Moving between desktops is much less sensitive, you change to other with a minimum movement. So I think the same sensibility should be used for app drawer. At least let the user configure it in settings. I'd love to use horizontal the app drawer but it's unusable for me right now.

Phone is Galaxy S i9000.

Thank you for your great work!
[Android Apps and Games] Reaver027:
Yeah scrolling through homescreens is super smooth. If that could be copied into the app drawer it would be perfect.

By the way i found a solution to the wallpaper problem.

For my 320x480 display i need to set a 960x480 wallpaper.

If i chose to display in portrait mode only the center 320 of the wallpaper will be displayed.

In landscape the first 160 and the last 160 pixels won't be displayed.

I would highly recommend you create a wallpaper that can be shown in landscape. Otherwise the lockscreen might look stupid.
[Android Apps and Games] GiuSic:
It's a good launcher but there are better!
[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
I have been using this launcher since you made it. I went to some others lately (Launcher Pro and ADW EX) and I just added Zeam back. It is by far the fastest opening apps and scrolling for me on my Epic 4G. I hope I don't see the negative results some are reporting when I get my Epic Touch on Friday. Thanks for the lightest and fastest launcher...at least for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Bushido76:
Hey guys,

I love this launcher too... The home screen scrolling is very smooth and I like having 6 dock-icons in a row... :D

But I think there are some minor problems in the app drawer:

Horizontal scrolling:

- for me it is very uncomfortable too... The swipe-range is far to long to get good and smooth scroll feeling...

Vertical scrolling:

- at the moment this version is a little bit laggy and nervous... maybe creating a scrolling cache (android:scrollingCache="true") could solve these problems...

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work,

Bushido
[Android Apps and Games] nikz106:
good ..

better than other complicated launchers in market .. but i would really like a cascading type of scrolling like MIUI has in app drawer .. it would be great if you could add that .. thanks .. :) .. and better thing is that i can use my MIUI themes with this launcher which i can not do with other launcher .. +1 ..
[Android Apps and Games] Nowonmai:
Just a thought but if Zeam was working perfectly at first it might mean the problem might be memory management or new apps that aren't compatible. I've used Zeam on a Galaxy Tab and on an Acer Iconia without issues.
[Android Apps and Games] djshack:
In 3.1.4, the horizontal scrolling in the app drawer works great. However, the zoom animation when opening and closing the app drawer is still slow and stutters, as before (and, as before, it does not do so in vertical mode).

Can you please look into why this happens? Thanks.

Battery life

I absolutely love Zeam, and although it hurts to say, i have noticed that ADW gives me better battery life. Anyone else notice this? Perhaps it's just my flawed perception of reality...

By the way I'm on the ATT Captivate Galaxy S variant (SGH-I897) running Darky's JVR RC4 cappy edition, with the Darkcore 3.1 kernel and the I9000 JVR modem, getting about 13-16 hours with ADW and only 10 w/ Zeam.

Really hope my zeam life improves so i can finally dump that heavy ADW launcher

Great Work! =D
[Android Apps and Games] Reaver027:
Great job on the horizontal scrolling. Works like a charm.

i don't really see much more that could make this launcher even better. Perhaps some kind of App sorting (free sorting like in Touch Wiz, Folders or Hiding).

Great Launcher! I am happy i did switch over to this one.
[Android Apps and Games] :
fixed in 3.1.4 :D
[Android Apps and Games] mankokoma:
Thank you very much for this nice simple launcher, which keeps obviously the best possible resources of my slow Samsung Galaxy 3 phone. PLZ let it stay this way!

May I just express one wish: I'd like to have a backup function.

But when you would tell me, it's enough to make a Titanum backup and the settings would be restored also, I would be satisfied to save you lots of work. I did not try it yet because of the risk to have to redo my settings all manual again... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Gemmer:
Lovin the launcher. Horizontal scrolling still requires way too much thumb movement though :)

Here is a bug on horizontal aplications grid. When you are on the first page and you go to the left page (i tried to see if it was a loop like workspaces ;-p) and then you go to the right but you are sticked on first page. You have to slide to the right same times you go to rhe left. (Same bug with last application page but yoi are definitly sticked on it)

Hi Cloakt! Great Launcher, I love the last version!

Can I as you to put on the next update the possibility to BACKUP and RESTORE to the SD the settings and "desktop " icons/Widgets?

Thank you very much!

Backup

Yeah, pls ... the launcher is great, but a possibility to do a Backup of my homescreens would be awesome!!!

If one is flashing new roms, Titanium is cool. SMS/Call-log Backup brings your history back and export of important data via App's export feature is enough.

Only thing missing is a way to backup the launcher and homescreen settings!

I guess Titanium's data restore will lead to FCs when using different roms.

Or am I missing something that would make a Launcher-In-App-Backup a need?

Thx again for that great launcher ;)

i was a big fan of this on my milestone, but the dock doesnt quite display properly on my droid 3.

because of the qHD resolution, part of an extra dock icon appears, so you end up with about 5 and 3/4 icons
[Android Apps and Games] nyydynasty:
i ran this launcher for a day and once in a while when I go back to the homescreen, my wallpaper would flash 3 or 4 times and then finally load my icons. It got annoying so I switched to something else and never had that problem again.

Not sure where that problem came from.
[Android Apps and Games] ChicagoPete:
Dock

Thanks for all the thought and quality that has gone into this!

I have Scroll reset turned on and set to Center but when Zeam redraws after the phone wakes up or an orientation change, the dock is scrolled over to the far left. It seems to me that the reset position should be the default position when the dock is displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] Cookie Ninja:
Bugreport....

In the app drawer, on selecting menu > delete, the red circles with crosses appear on apps that can be deleted, after deleting the unnecessary app you go back to the app drawer. The screen is still in the app delete mode, but no red circles with crosses are visible. If you select an app to run, you are given a delete option, and if you're not too careful, you may end up deleting a necessary app. Pressing the back button instead, keeps you still on the app drawer screen (does not take you back to the homescreen).

Does anyone else have the same indications, or can confirm my report?

Hello

I love this launcher and it used to work like a charm but since 2 days it doesn't load widgets anymore. When i force a restart they are loaded but the widgets are frozen.

[Android Apps and Games] ruilisboa0:
Suggestion.

I've tried many launchers, from adw to launcherpro and etc. but I always end up with Zeam. I would suggest a cool change to the Sense-type homescreen preview design, take a look at the style of Touchwiz's or Arc's. :cool: I'm referring to the type of design. It's just a suggestion, It would outstand other launchers and still be simple and beautiful, that is what Zeam is. Keep the good work! :D Thank you.

I don't think Titanium will backup widgets, but it's been a while since I had to restore.
[Android Apps and Games] TheCreat:
Yes, for me widgets never work after I restore a backup with titanium. Some internal backupwould be helpful, or figuring out why titanium can't back it up properly would be even better :-)

But I also still get crashes whenever I integrate an app into the rom with titanium, most other similar creates seem fixed now though, thanx for that!

[Android Apps and Games] uatschitchun:
Backup

I don't think that restoring Zeam's data with Titanium is a good advice after flashing a different rom cause of getting FCs then ...

What I like to backup would be the amount and configs of my homescreens/workspaces, like the apps I have there, etc. ...

So after a wipe/re-flash, one could restore the apps with Titanium and also restore the Launcher settings and apps on the workspaces.
