Thanks greart app!

Can you and backup settings and desktop :)
[Android Apps and Games] dgart08:
I've used all the available launchers for extensive periods of time. I absolutely LOVE the simplicity and speed of Zeam. I hope it continues to improve while always remaining simple and speedy... :D
[Android Apps and Games] erickwill:
@OP

Your launcher app is so far awesome! The best one that I had tried in my roms.

Please, don't stop with API level 7 (Eclair).. there is a ton of users stuck there..

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] Darrell1965:
Great app! I love the "CLEAN" appearance. I used it on my hacked HTC TP2 and now using on my Epic 4G.
[Android Apps and Games] v941726:

how to get arc launcher in x10
[Android Apps and Games] waffle_:
Doesn't have an uninstall option.
[Android Apps and Games] androc:
I'm using this launcher for a while now and I really like it. The only feature I'd like to have added is a backup possibility...

Keep making it faster..;)
[Android Apps and Games] :
It is not a gingerbread issue. 9 times out of 10 it is cm or a cm-based rom. Scrolling of scrollviews in cm causes tons of garbage collection for some reason which slows the apps grid down alot :-|Zeam on stock roms is smoooth lol
[Android Apps and Games] Ph1b:
And why is ADW so smooth in Cyanogenmod?
[Android Apps and Games] sleepyfu:
its a special built for cm, not a stand along.

[via XDA premium]
[Android Apps and Games] yopete525:
I believe this is the case.

I was actually wondering if it was a CM7 thing, although I tried running Zeam on a build of Evervolv a while back and the scrolling smoothness still wasn't there on the homescreens and in the app drawer. Evervolv does use code from CM/Code Aurora though, so it might be something from there--I'm not positive.

The reason I thought it was GB is that LauncherPro pre-v0.8.4 was similarly lacking in smoothness on 2.3, but in v0.8.4 Fede made "tweaks" to address this, resulting in improved performance even on CM7 ROMs.
[Android Apps and Games] d0nald01:
can you hide apps yet?

Nope, see change log in the first post for future reference :D :p

I'm still waiting on the capability to run on winmo! :eek:

Suggestions

It would be nice to have the option to have bigger icons in the dock, and another option to have name labels under the dock icons (I was thinking bigger icons and text like the Xperia launcher).

That would greatly improve the usability.
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Perhaps the dev would like to expound on why some of these "features" being requested, would take away from the scope of Zeam? Not required, just an idea and as a means to help others understand what YOU(the dev) are looking for as well... :)
[Android Apps and Games] wporta:
Thanks and Request..

First of all.. Thanks cloakt for this wonderfull launcher.

I just want to ask for a few features on future updates (if possible).

1. Dock icon sizing and labels as optional (javachris already asked for this).

2. Missing call, messages, email, etc. notification on icons (dock and screen icons), just like launcher pro does it. (really like this feature).

3. App Grid with Horizontal sliding (as an option).

4. Rearranging of screens.

5. Grouping option in the App Grid.

6. App Grid Sorting Alphabetically, by Most usage, by Recently installed, etc.

I'm really sorry if I'm asking too much :o, I just have the feeling (and I know a lot of people have it too) that this is an excellent launcher, and with a couple of more features will be even better. ;)

Thanks cloakt...
[Android Apps and Games] W4LLY:
Not sure if it's been asked, but is it possible to flash back to 2.8? I was very content and happy with my Zeam Launcher, and would like Scrollable Widgets back. I never experienced any lag at all either, it worked really well.

If anyone has to APK, that'd be awesome, sorry if this has been asked already.
[Android Apps and Games] wporta:
APK download link is in the first post..
[Android Apps and Games] W4LLY:
Touche, friend.
[Android Apps and Games] wporta:
Yes.

[Android Apps and Games] mcampbellsmith:
widget grouping?

I just upgraded my ROM to Oxygen v2.1 [GRJ22] and when I restored my data I noticed that the widgets are no longer grouped together.

Is this a setting I have missed in Zeam or because of the change to GRJ22? If so, can this be fixed?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
My guess is something like this is missing.
[Android Apps and Games] knitho:
I really loved zeam the time I used it. It's really fast and the transparent app drawer looks and performs well.

the only things I miss are some fancy scroll animations like in LauncherPro. Pleeease implement these!!
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
only for 2.2 and above

pl. make it works for 2.1 again.
[Android Apps and Games] JSmurfy:
This is awesome and works perfect on evolution.. thank you

I really like this launcher. I think thats its using small memory, so its the best :D
[Android Apps and Games] mcampbellsmith:
Thanks!

Does anyone have an issue with icons in the dock moving around and not staying in place?
[Android Apps and Games] radamo:
I have not had this. Using Zeam 2.9.2 on Royal Glacier 1.3.

RA
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
I have had it in the past. I now only keep 6 items in the dock and the issue stopped. Some other people discussed this problem a few pages back in this thread so it's definitely a zeam thing.
[Android Apps and Games] Abu-7abash:
Here here!
[Android Apps and Games] Abu-7abash:
I've 5 items in the dock and always the last two on the left keep switching places after a while. Tried EVERYTHING including changing roms and reverting to old versions of Zeam but much to my horror, it stayed the same.
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
I don't know what to tell you then. I'm just glad it stopped. It frustrated me so much that i actually tried some other launchers for a second time. Only other one I would even consider would be go launcher but even with the shifting icons I came back. And then it stopped.
[Android Apps and Games] djgabi:
Love this launcher! Small and fast! Maybe the customizable dock background/dock icons would be great..
[Android Apps and Games] BoyBawang2:
Light Weight Suggestions

Best and Lightest Launcher I tried!

Suggestions:

Please add an option to directly go to the default page when I press the home button while in any Program. Normally when I press the home button, it takes me to the last page I left which is confusing because all pages becomes similar when they are filled with icons. So it's best to go immediately to the default page so that I will always know where I start.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
Zeam preferences > action bindings > home button> default screen. You can use that to long press home to go to the default screen.
[Android Apps and Games] BoyBawang2:
Thanks But your solution only works if I'm in Zeam Launcher. It doesn't work if I'm inside an Application like calculator. Try running Calculator and you press Home button and you will be taken to the last page where you left and not the default page.

What I was suggesting is a Home button that takes me immediately to the default page even if I execute it from inside an application.

Thanks anyway
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
Sorry ,I didn't mean long press. Double tap, sorta. Because yes you have to be in zeam for it to work. I use this constantly though for the same reason you want it. I actualy prefer this over just being taken straight to the default homescreen as sometimes i do want to back to where i was. Now i just sorta double or single tap home subconsciously depending on what i plan to do next.
[Android Apps and Games] lord t:
excellent launcher and the best that is minimalist...cool
[Android Apps and Games] fatjoez:
Wanted to like this

But everytime I would change settings from one settings group

The other groups of settings would reset to default

Weird. Uninstalled.
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Huh :confused: that makes no sense what-so-ever. Did you at least remember to save??? Oh well... Glad it still works for me! :D
[Android Apps and Games] wporta:
Status ¿?

What is the status of this project?

cloakt are you currently working on this?

Just wondering, maybe would be cool to have the "upcoming features" if possible.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] jobumaru:
Wow is so fast :D Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] stephenju:
Love the simplicity of this app. I don't do a lot with the phone so it's perfect for me.

One question though. Can the size of the trashcan be larger? I have a hard time to drag items over it to remove it since the item and the trashcan are both obscured by my finger and I can't really see if the item is on it.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
I usually drag to the bottom of the screen, till I see red... :D ;)

This is not that bad. I will give this a try.
[Android Apps and Games] derfury:
Performance?

Hi,

First, I love the Idea of this. Adding tons of features such as live wallpaper and all the bells and whistles is pointless as far as I'm concerned, users can use any of the other 10+ launchers to do that. I love the minimalism and simplicity.

That being said, Zeam is nearly unusably slow to switch desktops and in the drawer as well on my motorola milestone running Cyanogen 7. Any Ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] BoyBawang2:
Hi All!

Do you know of an App I can place on the Dock that takes me back to the Recent app when I tap it? For instance I'm in Messaging App then peek some Home Screen info but I wanna go back to Messaging by simply Tapping an Icon on the dock. Imagine you can constantly peek the HomeScreen back & forth, back & forth from any app without thinking!

I know of an Application called "R Launcher" but sadly, it's a widget so I can't assign it to the dock.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
Long press on the Home button?
[Android Apps and Games] BoyBawang2:
In my previous message i mentioned that i peek at the homescreen then quickly switch back to my app. U said, "long press the Home button" but that doesnt show info on the Homescreen unless i do more strokes.
[Android Apps and Games] phroenix:
you're in an app, press home-look at your homescreen, long press home-brings up recent apps select the one you want. 3 'strokes'

If you really want to get down to 2 'strokes' use something like wave launcher or the various other additional launchers. Adds a hidden area you can activate over any open window/homescreen to bring up whatever you want-user defined apps/recent apps/shortcuts.

1 'stroke' is probably what you mean by this whole peeking business...can't help with that

But lets keep this about zeam...
[Android Apps and Games] BoyBawang2:
thanks, there's a utility called "PreviousApp" in the Android Market. It's the nearest thing to what I need.

BTW the Zeam Launcher Dock is prone to accidentally messed up. I wish there's an option to lock it.
[Android Apps and Games] Ph1b:
I would like the folder to automatically close after opening an application out of it.
[Android Apps and Games] BAWS:
I agree to this.
[Android Apps and Games] nuumuun:
try Desktop VisualizeR for changing icons.

and you can resize widgets in ver. 2.9.2 but only while adding them, not after.

would be nice to be able to resize existing widgets tho ... :D
[Android Apps and Games] :
is it possible that the rearranging bug is not actually a bug but rather moving of the items by mistake then when u look again they are rearranged? i made a change last night that could possibly fix it, but i cant replicate the issue myself so i have no idea if it will fix it. could perhaps publish the fix but if it doesnt fix it then the update is kinda pointless ;-) the lock option i could maybe include in a later release..

a few pages back i mentioned and why scrolling in cm and cm based roms is slow
[Android Apps and Games] nuumuun:
+1

the dock randomly reorders itself sometimes (mostly after reboots).
[Android Apps and Games] BAWS:
dock4droid
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
+1

It was one of the first things I'd noticed when I first moved to Zeam over the built-in launcher. My solution was pretty much the same as others here, reduce the number of icons on the dock.
[Android Apps and Games] :
can we test this out on 2.9.3?
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
Just updated and added stuff to the dock. I report back if the problem persits. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] nuumuun:
the bug is still there ... i even uninstalled and started from scratch to make sure it's not a configuration problem.

my dock apps:

apps grid, phone, go sms pro, gmail, business calendar free, facebook, market, app brain, catch, camera, ghost commander, all apps organizer

after zeam restart:

apps grid, phone, go sms pro, gmail, business calendar free, facebook, market, all apps organizer, catch, app brain, ghost commander, camera

it only affects icons past the first six.

it seems as if it has something to do with how fast the icons are loaded and it's always the same app icons that are being misplaced. all apps organizer flashes in place six before facebook pops up.

also, i should probably mention that i am using CM7 nightly with apps2sd enabled

i hope this information is useful to you :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

okay thanks for the detail, will look into it asap :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] nuumuun:
hmmm ... a reboot seems to have fixed it :confused:

i will keep an eye on it and report back after the weekend
[Android Apps and Games] puxxi2003:
sorry

i love your launcher

but

you must fight stronger against the dock item arranging bug, its still there

use the launcher with archos101 and urukdroid 1.1beta1
[Android Apps and Games] micoid:
Zeam rocks!

Thanks for keeping up the great work, just two things:

1) I really like the ADW lock desktop option, any plan for something like that? I tend to screw up my home when I put the phone on my pocket! :D

2) While scrolling the application grid it would be nice to have a small scroll bar on the side (optionally maybe) to keep track of where I'm at, that's also useful when reopening the grid in the last scrolled position

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] IMWarthog:
I absolutely loved Zeam for 2 reasons: 1) speed and 2) scrollable widgets.

Now I need to find a new launcher -- I don't even mind paying for it.

I NEED scrollable widgets. Make it an option if performance is the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] milerx:
new features in zeam launcher

Hi, first, thanks for this amazing job!

I would like to know if you can put an option in zeam launcher where you can set the number of misses calls, unread sms and unread mails in the icons in the launcher!

Thanks! :D
[Android Apps and Games] BoyBawang2:
Even more Minimalistic suggestion

I have a suggestion to push the Minimalistic philosophy even further!

An option to Remove the dock completely for tidier look and provide space for more icons. Without a dock, just Swipe upward to open the app drawer(logical) and Drag and Touch any Icon to the bottom to remove or uninstall(logical).

My idea is that i'm planing to put a shortcut widget at the bottom that serves better purpose than the dock.

thanks

please don't forget our beloved eclair devices..your launcher is the best one so far.
[Android Apps and Games] yopete525:
Following up on the scrolling smoothness/cm7 thing, I just loaded up the latest Evervolv test build for the Incredible and can confirm that homescreen scrolling is noticeably smoother than on the CM rom.
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
Since I really like Zeam but also need scrolling widgets can I ask for a clarification? I thought I saw mention that scrolling support was removed for debugging for some reason. Is this true? Will scrolling widgets return at some point? Or should I give up on Zeam and find another launcher that does have scrolling widget support?
[Android Apps and Games] dieandromeda:
homescreen is perfect. i hope u can add additional option for drawer such as hide an apps.

btw, is it normal when i enable drawer animation, the text appear right after the icons. i think, it will be great if the text and icons appear at the same time.

Looking to try this launcher, but download keeps stalling when trying to DL from market?
[Android Apps and Games] :
try 2.9.4 :)
[Android Apps and Games] Abu-7abash:
Thanks for the update, been looking for the order fix for quite a while. Best launcher out there :D

you killed the bug :p

[Android Apps and Games] victsou:
I've just downloaded the newest version and installed it on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000B, but I can't change the number of screens!! I change it and it goes back to three, and so does the loop.. What should I do??
[Android Apps and Games] LincolnBlack:
Really loving this launcher! Tried quite a few, but this one it the slickest.

I don't know if this idea has been tried/thought of before, but have you every experimented with changing the way home screens behave? At the moment you pick the number of screens you want and you scroll between them a screen at a time. I wonder what the experience would be like if when scrolling left or right, it either snaps every column (instead of every four), or doesn't snap at all (like the Zeam dock doesn't snap).

This would certainly give you much more freedom in placing widgets, and especially large ones. It may also give the feeling of a larger 'desktop' rather than the constrained 4x4 (or similar) arrangement.

I would love to be able to try this, but unfortunately my skills lie elsewhere other than software development!
[Android Apps and Games] nuumuun:
i haven't had a dock problem since the reboot on friday ... thanks for the bug fixes :D

keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] Germian:
Yeah, the latest update finally killed the bug with the sorting. Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] imecs:
Working good now , no problems after update . Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mcfang:
The action of the Home button appears to have changed in a recent version (2.9.3?)

When in an app Home used to return to the last screen used.

Now pressing the Home button flashes straight to the home screen and redraws all the icons and widgets, similar to Zeam restarting. This happens both when in an app or when already in Zeam.

I've already tried changing the Action bindings > Home button setting to nothing but it does not have any effect?
[Android Apps and Games] supagram:
Hide dock?

Can we get an option to hide the dock? It's the only reason I still use ADWex...
[Android Apps and Games] Akjiaer:
For me the best launcher for Android. Together with Oxygen u get the best Android experience. ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] xpector:
Great app, keep improving please.

BTW, an SMS/Calls indicator will be mostly welcomed.

Please add groups in app grid. Or add option to choose application in "Action bindings"

Sounds like an isolated problem bro, my home screen is working as usual. Might want to reboot, wipe data, or even re-install.

[Android Apps and Games] pendevous:
Some people are asking for features that will kill the point of a minimalistic and blazing fast browser. :S

Anyway, live the launcher. However, if I switched my wallpaper to a picture I have in my gallery, and then press my app drawer, my old wallpaper seems to flash for like 0.2 seconds before going to the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] BobbyBeans:
Permissions

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already but can someone please explain why Zeam needs the following permission:

DIRECTLY CALL PHONE NUMBERS

READ CONTACT DATA

Thanks

-Bob
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
I believe it has to do with putting shortcuts on the home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] BobbyBeans:
I appreciate your quick response but I can't see any reason why a home screen shortcut requires making a phone call.
[Android Apps and Games] BobbyBeans:
Hey, don't get me wrong. I've been using Zeam for a while and love it. I very much applicate this minimalistic approach to feature set in order to keep it small and fast. However, I expect the same approach when it comes to permissions. The less permissions the better. If permissions are not need then remove them or explain why they are needed.
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
If your putting a direct dial shortcut on your home screen zeam would need that permission for the shortcut to work.
[Android Apps and Games] BobbyBeans:
Ok, that makes sense. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] thecoolestcow:
Widget Woes

I've recently updated my ROM to GR-12 on the SGS Captivate (US). My widgets are not updating, and consistently act like they're loading. If they do load, then they do not update, for example my clock widget will always say the same time.

Does anyone else experience this? I can't tell if it's Zeam or the ROM I'm using.
[Android Apps and Games] rentaric:
great app, best i tried so far. very smooth :)

is there any way to change the amount of dock icons?
[Android Apps and Games] erickwill:
@OP

Hey buddy,

Any 2.8.9 (API level 7) release on sight? Looking forward for that! :)

Thanks and Regards,

Erick
[Android Apps and Games] BobbyBeans:
Do you mean how many visible at a time? With Item Spacing (Preferences / Dock / Item Spacing ) set to Medium, 6 are visible. If you change Item Spacing to Small you can see 7 icons. That's on my small 3.1" low res phone. Maybe it differs on phones with different specs? You can always drag more icons to to dock but you have to swipe side to side to see them.
[Android Apps and Games] rentaric:
oh it's that easy - thanks a lot. :D
[Android Apps and Games] BAWS:

Now a question: Are there any plans on localizations?

I would be glad to help with a German one.
[Android Apps and Games] The_mamba:
I don't dislike this launcher and of the "launcher-pro-esque" launchers that i've tried, this is my favorite (other than launcher pro). Lately I've been hooked on MIUI but if I return to CM7 or some other BG ROM, I'll be re-installing this to test further. Well written app.
[Android Apps and Games] lohpsch:

My favorite launcher for my Viewpad 7.

It does everything a launcher should do and nothing more.

Perfect.

[Android Apps and Games] mcfang:

[Android Apps and Games] stangri:
OMG, this launcher is insanely fast!!! I only wish it would display larger icons in Dock when I have just 3 items there (plus apps icon) and I do love the horizontal scrolling of the drawer a-la TouchWiz and Sony launcher. Essentially I'd love it to look like TouchWiz but work as fast as it does now. Oh, well, back to the buggy TW4 for me. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Evil Avnovice:
I've been using Zeam for several months now, and if cloakt ever decided to take user-submitted requests, I would suggest one of my own:

*The ability to backup & restore Zeam's configurations.

And Zeam pretty much does everything I need out of an alternative home launcher as it is.
