Hi, I have a simple feature request for Zeam (my HTC Magic favourite Home replacement ;) )

When I select Portrait mode in Android settings, it does not activate automatically for Zeam: I need to activate it also in Zeam settings. Other Home replacements get this setting for the Android ones. Can you enable this feature? It's the only one I'm missing.
[Android Apps and Games] Kockowan:
Question / feature request

Maybe it's possible quite now, don't now:

How to integrate a homescreen widget in the dock on bottom?

I did try to put 'LockScreen in spain' to the dock, but it didn't work.

('LockScreen in spain' has the ability to switch off the display manually....)

Cant save config

Hey Guys,

Im using Zeam now for a while now and I love it, but since yesterday I cant safe my configuration anymore. I setup it how I want, it restarts but then its just like it was before, no changes at all.

I reflashed my phone new and have docs 6.0 JPX, I wanted to move the ZEAM.apk from system do data apps so I can update always to the newest version, because when I had it in the system apps folder the market always said not possible.

So I deinstalled zeam.apk from both folder and reinstalled it over the market, but stil it wont save my settings!

Is there a hidden file somewhere with the settings that I can delete? I have root access so no big deal.

Hope you can help me, dont wanna reflash everything again ...

Thanks

Greets

edit:

I played around a bit more and found out that everything is fine until I change the "item spacing"! I want it to be big and after applying this Zeam deletes my config and goes back to standard! Same happens when I try to change the rows of the mainscreen!

edit2:

So I got it fixed! I deleted the zeam folder with the preferences in DBDATA and now everything works!
[Android Apps and Games] skye9342:
I second that! =)
[Android Apps and Games] kobbe0:
I started using Zeam yesterday and I really like it, coming from ADW launcher!

One thing I can't find and I tried read up thread but not finding answer...

Is there a way to change order of workspace screens?
[Android Apps and Games] Hummelchen:
Hi there!

I'm using Oxygen v2.0 RC1 and my problem is: On every restart there are 2 icons of every app which was moved to SD (Froyo APP2SD).

Is there a workaround exept restarting Zeam or an ext partition?
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
have you tried unmounting/mounting your SDcard?
[Android Apps and Games] aladin6:
I love this launcher, it's the best! Otherwise, i have a suggestion, can you add please an option to make the status bar transparent ? it's an excellent feature !
[Android Apps and Games] :
what is your definition of a status bar?
[Android Apps and Games] 7lucca:
any chance of fixing the issue on samsung galaxy spica that i mentioned before? after the recent updates its still there....
[Android Apps and Games] dwcasey:
+1 horizontal scrolling in the app drawer
[Android Apps and Games] aladin6:
The bar on the top of the screen ! the notification bar ;) .
[Android Apps and Games] Hummelchen:
Yes, after that the second icon's are gone. But after the next restart .... :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
preferences - general - fullscreen
[Android Apps and Games] Caspian3011:
Is it possible to set custom icons for application shortcuts? If iz is how can I do it? Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
use desktop visualiser from the market
[Android Apps and Games] GuitarXxX:
Your launcher is very good.

There are some features I would really love to see in your Zeam Launcher:

-Option to hide some apps in app drawer (like exists in LP)

-Option to change only the icons of the dock (the app stays the same)

-Option to hide the 'house icon' on app drawer

*Are there some option to resize the widgets?

Thanks and congratulations!
[Android Apps and Games] :
if you mean remove it, then yes you can use fullscreen mode as mikep99 suggested :)

are you referring to shortcuts in the apps grid or dock or on the screen? i did just fix a duplicate issue in the dock... but doubt its what you are referring to?

you cant rearrange the screens like in adw :eek:

as always, thanks for the feedback... 2.8.3 in market now :D
[Android Apps and Games] dwcasey:
Does full screen have a few pixel gap at the top or does it allow widgets to go to the top border completely without a gap?
[Android Apps and Games] Caspian3011:
I was thinking about the icons in the dock. I can't place a desktop visualizer shortcut in the dock...
[Android Apps and Games] Sultan1993:
Thank you for your hard work :) using zeam launcher on Samaung Vibrant and it's great, but will there be a 3D style app drawer? like in stock or like in LauncherPro launcher
[Android Apps and Games] igas:
Feature requests:

- Add an option to the dock scroll reset feature to align center instead of left.

- Add an option to the dock to do non-smooth scrolling, iow. scroll in groups (as seen in the launcher pro dock)

Thanks for providing us with a free alternative!
[Android Apps and Games] Hummelchen:
Hi cloakt,

i mean the Applications Grid. If you want, i could make a screenshot for you.

[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
Choose to add a desktop visualiser shortcut, not widget :)
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
An example with 5 invisible shortcuts in the dock, using desktop visualiser..
[Android Apps and Games] aditya104:
Preferences>Dock>Item Spacing :)
[Android Apps and Games] faugusztin:
Or FolderOrganizer/FolderOrganizer lite. Long press on desktop>Shortcut>FolderOrganizer item...
[Android Apps and Games] galaxys:
Just started using this, and really like the smoothness so far! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Caspian3011:
That was stupid of me ::o Thanky you for the help
[Android Apps and Games] :
that would be good, and if you can please include steps to recreate the fail ;)

use desktop visualiser from the market, then drag the created shortcuts into the dock.

i think the dock in zeam is unique, i do not want to copy other launchers.
[Android Apps and Games] superindigo:
great app

Thanks for this app, this is the best. I'm using it all of day.

There is one thing: If I have missing call or SMS I have not read and I am in full screen then how can I notice them? There is no mark on envelop or phone icon.

It would be great to have those marks (e.g. little red circle with a number how many calls we missed, etc.).

Thank you in advance, keep doing well.
[Android Apps and Games] aditya104:
Nice app. No issues. just updated from 2.7. Still fast in 2.8.3. Like the Home button and transparent application grid.

Looking fwd to the feature to hide app. Or a folder called Hidden/Other apps in the app grid where I could drag unused apps.
[Android Apps and Games] igas:
That's not what I meant. I like to put the app drawer shortcut in the middle, with other stuff around it. When pressing home (reset) it would center the icon in the middle again.
[Android Apps and Games] z7x8c9:
I would like that also. Maybe create a spacer that we could drag to the dock to keep the app drawer button allways centered...?
[Android Apps and Games] :
do u know if u set item spacing to small or large there is always an item that is perfectly centered, which u can change to ur apps grid icon?
[Android Apps and Games] aditya104:
I have that ATM. My app grid icon is in the middle and other icons around it. I have 5 icons on my dock with item spacing set to large.

App Grid icon came to the left by default. I dragged it to middle and changed item spacing to large.
[Android Apps and Games] cl3ric:
Ooohh, very very nice work!

I was using Home++ on my Spica but now... only ZEAM!
[Android Apps and Games] 3miki3:
zeam 1.2.3

can you add option for hide status bar?
[Android Apps and Games] fattymcdirty:
could you add an option for hiding the header graphic ("all applications") sp that you have a little more space for the whole icons? that would be great! :D i would suggest that many people would love that option...
[Android Apps and Games] evilpig:
1.6 although I'm not too sure where I'd find the logs.
[Android Apps and Games] drkow19:
This is very cool. It's faster than the helix launcher that came with my rom (Myn's Warm Donut for HTC Vogue). Only thing I noticed was when I press the app drawer, my finger moves a lot thanks to the resistive screen. So even though I'm not sliding it, Zeam thinks I am trying to slide. It takes a concentrated press for me to click the app drawer successfully, so maybe just turn down the button sliding sensitivity for the app drawer. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] :
done for the next release :)

thanks everyone for the positive feedback. and the error reporting here helps me a lot as well. dev on zeam has been a bit slow the last few days, but should pick up a bit now.
[Android Apps and Games] mtb2104:
It's really fast!!

Thank you so much! :D
[Android Apps and Games] laba82:
Used to run Helix Launcher but after discovering Zeam bye bye Helix.

Only problem that I found was when using APNdroid widget, it works, turning APN's on and off but the widget itself doesn't turn green anymore to reflect that APN's on, it stays red all the time. It worked with Helix.

Also, adding application shortcuts to desktop seems awfully slow.

APNdroid fixed after reboot, adding shortcuts still slow.
[Android Apps and Games] waylo:
Just found Zeam and I'm liking it a lot, particularly the speed. Working okay on my Nexus One stock 2.1 firmware with just my limited testing.

Will still be keeping Helix as my main home launcher however. Would really want some static icons in the bottom aside from just phone (existing choices are really too redundant and limited).
[Android Apps and Games] fattymcdirty:
when will the next release be out? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] qakgob:
I really like this launcher, very fast. Only thing I noticed is that the scale animation doesn't work on cyanogen 5.07. Also on the search widget, the voice search button is oddly shiney. Doesn't happen on the default home app, so would be nice to see if this can be fixed.

Otherwise great work. Visually the nicest launcher, as far as I'm concerned :)
[Android Apps and Games] LevitateJay:
This is a great launcher...

Just a little suggestion..

Maybe making it so a smaller swiping gesture can still make it slide to the next home screen. I've been using Sense for awhile and a little push from right to left or vice versa will move over to the the next screen where as in this launcher it takes a much larger gesture almost from one side to the other
[Android Apps and Games] crubbish:
1.2.3

hi cloakt. After 1.2.3 update the "+" button (add item) stopped working with me. It does nothing at all.
[Android Apps and Games] :
working fine on 1.2.3 on my desire, just tested on an htc magic and it doesnt work. will look at this tonight :/
[Android Apps and Games] fattymcdirty:
would it be possible to edit the right button so, that you're able to freely decide what shortcut to add and not from a specific list of apps like it is now?

btw.: the new fullscreen option is nice.. but what i wrote earlier was meant in another way.. fullscreen is ok, but it would be nicer if "all applications" would be completely removable... that'd be VERY nice... could u implement that? or would i be able to edit it myself by deleting a graphic or something?
[Android Apps and Games] fattymcdirty:
edit:

fullscreen is -not- working good... i thought it was "only" fullscreen in the app-drawer... but it's fullscreen everywhere... even on the desktop... the statusbar is HIDDEN then... that's definitely not good...

plz.. adjust it.. make an option "hide "all applications" ... and fullscreen ONLY in app-drawer... hiding the statusbar on the desktops doesn't make ANY sense...
[Android Apps and Games] :
okay this is now fixed in 1.2.4 :) along with some other fixes for widgets and some fc's that happen

lol there are some people who really like not having a status bar. gotten numerous requests for it. if you dont like it just dont use it. as for the title on the apps drawer, i dont plan on removing/hiding it for one person. not sure if you would like the text out or the entire handle, but i really dont see your point?
[Android Apps and Games] r_dub:
Im quite pissed right now im stuck in a force close loop from your app right now WTH! I've been around android for a while and never seen one this bad care to tell me how to end the loop since everything ive tried failed on the moto cliq
[Android Apps and Games] jcrabapple:
Re: Zeam 1.2.4 released (now in Android Market)

Getting better! some icons and widgets still pixelated on my nexus one. Is that an issue being worked on?

Thanks for a great app!

[Android Apps and Games] :
i do apologize for this. i have been unsuccessful in replicating this myself, however the odd few have gotten this and i was able to get some logs for the fc's. it appears somehow the zeam db is getting corrupted and unable to open. if zeam is set as your default home it will carry on trying to start up and thats why it loops. i put a workaround for this into 1.2.4 until i can figure out why the db is getting corrupted, also found a couple issues logged with google themselves re this. could even be the copy-protect on market causing this. if you can get a hold of the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) tool in the android SDK, you can do a "adb uninstall org.zeam" to remove zeam off of your device. after that if you could do a "adb logcat" to see the exceptions in the log files. what rom are you using? also what were you doing at around the time it started force closing?
[Android Apps and Games] igas:
Now the challenge is to keep it that way when there are more icons in the dock than screen space. Ie. 15 icons in the dock, with the drawer centered and arbitrary spacing. Pressing the home button would center the drawer instead of scrolling to the left causing the drawer to go off screen.
[Android Apps and Games] hellsyn:
Feature Request

Would it be Possible, when using only one Icon on the Dock to be able to align in the middle instead of left?;)
[Android Apps and Games] Kockowan:
Possibility to restore settings 'by hand'?

Is there any possibility to restore zeam settings 'by hand'?

Titanium restore doesn't work, CWM-images for extracting available....

Thx!
[Android Apps and Games] 24v:
Look at your dock. Count 3 icons from the left. Place app drawer icon there. Now every time you press home, the add drawer icon is in the center. Seems simple to me?
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
Use transparent icons to the left of the apps drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] igas:
If one skips over the "with the drawer centered" part while reading my previous post that would indeed be a workaround.
[Android Apps and Games] 24v:
I'm not sure what you mean? When you put it that way, it is always centered.
[Android Apps and Games] felipehorizon:
Fantastic app, I'm loving it. Fast, stable and reliable.

Congrats for the wonderful job! :)
[Android Apps and Games] TattooZ:
need setting backup feature pls.
[Android Apps and Games] Dakar22:
mmm...

cloakt, please add categories like in LG launcher! And make default category "Hidden apps", which is visible only in edit mode

Add options to hide home button (and extend apps canvas to bottom), hide notification bar (even if I don’t use "fullscreen mode") and hide labels in apps grid to maximize count of visible app icons

It would be very very very nice!
[Android Apps and Games] gmbhneo:
Your launcher is just awesome! I love it and never want to give it away...

BUT...

there some little thing i want you to change (if its possible)

1. hide the screenindicator (for me its annoying, couse i just use 1 screen ... so i dont need it and it shop up every time i swipe on an widget...)

2. resize widgets (just like adw launcher)

3. Option to use a custome dock bar image (just like launcher pro)

That would be sooooo awesome, if you could implament this options °_° ... PLS
[Android Apps and Games] faugusztin:
Imagine he has 18 icons in the dock on Galaxy Tab, with smallest gaps, which means 9 icons. What is the center in this case ? What if he moves the icons in the dock so it now shows icons 6-15 ? Where does the dock at number 5 stays ? Yes, exactly - ofscreen.

What he asks is to be able to put the icon for launching menu at fixed position at center of dock bar, no matter of where you move the icons in it. Or other description - allow to icons have fixed spots, in that case when user moves the dock bar, only non-fixed icons will move and skip the spots of the fixed ones.
[Android Apps and Games] CarsnGadgets:
I have just replaced LauncherPro Plus on my Archos 101 with Zeam.

So far, i'm loving it. Well Done!

It works great with my 1024x600 screen, and seems very fast. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Bhups:
Like like luv this!
[Android Apps and Games] Singh400:
Can I have more than one dock. On LP, I used to have 3 docks. With 5 items on each one. I'd like to replicate that on this if at all possible?
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
Yep. Just keep adding shortcuts to the dock. Then you can scroll once you've got more than one full dock.
[Android Apps and Games] Pard0ned:
Is there any thing you could do that could encompass resizing widgets on the homescreen - it gets very annoying when you keep having to re-add the widgets if you accidentally choose the wrong layout.

Other than that this launcher is great, and definitely my favorite.

Thanks Cloakt!! :D:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] mainguy21:
how do you add custom icons?
[Android Apps and Games] rku615:
I use Desktop Vizualizer downloaded from the Market to add custom icons.
[Android Apps and Games] g25racer:
Best Launcher to date! I found it to be much more stable and faster than adw and launcher pro.
[Android Apps and Games] mainguy21:
even on the dock?
[Android Apps and Games] loizoskounios:
I'm using this in combination with Oxygen 2.0 RC2. Brilliant launcher in my opinion. Thanks a lot for spending so much time on this.
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
Yes, as long as they're created as shortcuts, not widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] bretzke:
Folders?

This is an awesome launcher...it's made my hacked Nook Color exactly what I wanted!

I see the ability to create a folder, presumably on the home screen. However, every time I try to create one, nothing happens. Am I missing something?

Is there anyway to make folders in the app screen?

Sorry, didn't see a wiki page or anything else to answer a noob question.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
hi,

it seems to work fine, but for fancy widget, it crops the bottom so that you can't see the temp properly.

this is on oxygen GB RC2 with 5 rown instead of the standard 4. the other widgets/shortcuts seem fine (switch pro/ youtube widget. it's just this one for some reason
[Android Apps and Games] schiznik:
Increase the height by one, should look fine then :)
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
ta, but that would basically cancel out increasing the rows from 4 to 5
[Android Apps and Games] wiktoraz:
I use this launcher with Oxygen Gingerbread rom on HTC Desire and it is absolutely awesome how everything flies in my phone :) Love it :)

If I may, I would like to suggest some new options in future updates of the launcher. Would like to have ability to lock launcher in landscape mode (currently rotation is 'off' and 'auto'). And it would be nice to lock dock so I wouldn't be able to switch or remove icons accidentally :)

BTW Merry Christmas :)
[Android Apps and Games] schiznik:
Bump it up to 6 then :)

I have mine set to 8x8, and fw at 6x3

(Edit, btw my LCD density is 180 instead of the normal 240 on a desire)
[Android Apps and Games] Damon1328:
Zeam is a great launcher, its fast, minimalist (which i love) but my battery seems to drain faster for some odd reason. I own a samsung fascinate and i am currently on JT's ROM v.9 DJ05, which is de-bloated and had good battery life prior to zeam. I have no widgets at all (prefer minimalist style). i renamed ADW and TW launchers under root explorer so they wouldn't conflict with zeam but it's still draining my battery. i thought it was lightweight so it would not consume as much battery.
[Android Apps and Games] substance12:
how does this compare to launcher pro?
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
not keen on this. makes everything seem cramped. on the plus it let me go down to 5 screens from 7
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
Have you unchecked "auto fit"?
[Android Apps and Games] schiznik:
7 screens? Wow, I have just one, with fancy widget, two space ones (internal and SD card) and one to enable/disable wifi
[Android Apps and Games] Snyperx:
Anyone know why Zeam can not be found on the current Android Market? I did a search for Zeam and nothing came up. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] d0nald01:
can you add option to hide apps in drawer
[Android Apps and Games] reflex9000:
yes with hide apps in drawer is perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] Cro0707:
Excellent! Simple, clean and professional launcher without necessary and confusing options. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
Looks like a good update :)

Can I ask if there are plans to put unread sms/email & missed call counts in the dock?

This is the only thing I miss.

Keep up the excellent work!
[Android Apps and Games] superindigo:
Yes, it would be fine, because if I am in full screen, then I can not notice missed calls and SMS/MMS (besides green light).

Temporally I downloaded SMS Unread Count but it is not possible to place its icon into dock.
[Android Apps and Games] brucemcl:
Scroll back a few pages in this thread. Somebody mentioned a way to get unread counts into an icon in the dock.
[Android Apps and Games] Greenfieldan:
In all seriousness (Not trying to be a ****) what advantages does this have over other launchers? (because there are SO many now :D haha)
[Android Apps and Games] kotobanj:
any way to backup?

Hello,

Anyone know what is the way to perform a backup of our settings of this great launcher. Yesterday i have backup all of my data including org.zeam folder. But when i restore all of my personal data after phone crash, nothing is returned to its place and all my settings has remained lost ...

anyone know what is the data to keep it up ?

Thanks for your help and excuse for my bad english ;)
[Android Apps and Games] shadow65781:
This is my favorite launcher
[Android Apps and Games] superindigo:
Nobody mentioned that way, it is about widget not an icon in the dock.

We want to have icons with unread SMS/MMS/Calls in the dock. Let us have satisfaction :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] skye9342:
I second that. Yeahh. The launcher will be perfect if it could be implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] aditya104:
Don't need the unread count if it comes by giving away some speed. Don't make this slower. there r other ways of getting the unread count.
[Android Apps and Games] skye9342:
Ofcourse the top priority is speed. If the the unread count compromises the speed of the launcher, then its better not to include it. =)
[Android Apps and Games] Jeffu:
I don't think I've seen this mentioned, if it has, don't kill me! :P

I love this launcher; because of it I haven't bothered looking into roms and such for a 'better experience' because ... things are pretty snappy already. I switched over from LauncherPro since I think it might have been causing my shutdowns on my Captivate, and haven't looked back since. Been recommending my friends to use it.

I have one small issue though... I use three screens with the same semi-transparent black box across so it slides seamlessly as I swipe through, but I've noticed that it'll kind of 'bump' things to the right by itself. Setting anything that resets the launcher then reverting will fix it, but it ends up popping up again. I don't mind terribly, it's a great launcher and I expect it'll be fixed at some point so I'm patient.
