Just came across this neat little launcher - very impressed indeed, I love how simple it is..!

I did notice that the market version hasn't been updated since Dec last year though - is this still being developed?

A few little requests that I think would make it perfect;

- Notification count on phone/message/gmail etc icons

- Custom icons, at least in the dock

- Option to remove the 'home' icon in the application screen

- Folders in the application screen (drag an icon over another to create/add to a folder)

Thanks for all your hard work! :D
[Android Apps and Games] kanishkapd:
ok guys,

did some observations and saw something interesting.

zeam launcher pure app size (after installation) is 700+ kb.

adw launcher pure app size (downloaded from the market) is around 1.1 mb.

default adw launcher in my phone ( hyperdroid, using haret) is only 600kb. i assume its the same adw version. couldnt check:D

guess adw has been tweaked to use less memory in the custom roms. and if you are using a custom rom the better option would be to stick with the default launcher.

regards.

Miss some options but i think the one of best
[Android Apps and Games] jimyy:
Zeam Launcher are the best !

Now I check it and the version 3.1.10 works perfect with [ROM] MiniCM9-3.0.2 ICS 4.0.4/CM9.

Thank man. Your launcher are the best !
[Android Apps and Games] beserk1:
Is this ccsee an app??

I cant seem to find it if it is, can you give me a link?

The only feature missing for zeam (imo), is hide icon in app drawer, with this it would be great!

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Repartee:
Great Launcher! I agree it should have a hide tab ability though and that ICS folder creating ability... that is cool

Hi Folks!

My best Launcher is this, Zeam.

But I have 3 different Huawei Android Phone, and i can not install this to S7, just U8500 and X3. :(

The PlayStore told me, the S7 is unsupported by ZeamLauncher (and lot of easy builtin apps, like gmail, gtalk, and !!!MARKET!!!) I can not upgrade these old basic apps :(

Anybody knows the issue, that these softwares (mostly Zeam) are accept my S7?

How to install Zeam Launcher in place of TouchWiz?

Can anyone tell me how to use Zeam instead of TouchWiz specifically on the Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7.0 (rooted)? I've read NOT to remove TouchWiz. Is there a way to disable it? Should I freeze it? OR do both Launchers work at the same time? Advice from someone who has installed Zeam and dealt with the issue of TouchWiz will be appreciated.

I am unable to identify the TouchWiz app file from among the entire list of native apps on the TABLET. Does anyone on the Forum know exactly which file controls the TouchWiz feature on the Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7.0?

I am completely new at this and am learning along the way. What is the correct sequence? To avoid a system crash, in what order would you advise that I freeze/disable TouchWiz and install Zeam launcher? For example, if I install Zeam first, will the two Launchers conflict, causing a crash? OR, if I disable TouchWiz first, will there be no way to find the ZeamLauncher3.1.0.apk file on the SD card and install it? OR is there a better method?

Has anyone on the Forum replaced TouchWiz on a Samsung TABLET with Zeam Launcher successfully?

Thanks in advance for help with any these many questions.
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
Install Zeam first. Click home, choose Zeam as your launcher and make sure to set it as default.

Don't have a Galaxy Tab so I can't tell you if Zeam will work. I don't advise freezing TouchWiz as it isn't necessary since they won't conflict. Also just in case something goes wrong with Zeam you'll need a backup launcher for the system to fall back to.

Touch Wiz should be listed under Settings > apps > all as "TW something" or "Touch Wiz something" or simply "Launcher." You can force stop it if you want.

[Android Apps and Games] Avilove.Cullen:
Great launcher ... :)
[Android Apps and Games] ogk-slay:
Great launcher but I will stay away for now due to lack of dock notifications for unread messages. I tried searching this thread and elsewhere and can not see any confirmation that this will be implemented in the future? Does anyone have an answer?
[Android Apps and Games] CyberianIce:
Very light and customisable launcher. It's being used as default launcher in Marina ROM Lite 5.1 for OT-990. It's very fast, nice and stable. I loved custom grid and all options, but applications grid bored me since before - absence of ICS styled All/Recent/Favorite/Market shortcuts cant be forgiven.
[Android Apps and Games] tramp20:
Hi,

can we expect an export/restore of the zeam settings to the sdcard?

Edit: or at least where are the settings in the system?
[Android Apps and Games] reidzeibel:
This is the best launcher in my opinion, and have the best battery life among all Launchers I've tried (FTL, GoLauncherEX, Holo). All other apps eat too much memory and battery due to their various customization options.

Oh and if someone know how to remove dock entirely in zeam launcher, I'd like to know about it :)

Lag on SGS3

Some odd lag scrolling between desktops/screens

I've been a fanboy of Zeam Launcher for some years. Best launcher by far imo. Used it on HTC Desire and Galaxy S2

Now on Galaxy S3. Still works great just wanted to let you know about the lag on this device.

Thanks for your continued support for this app. Much respect!
[Android Apps and Games] Shano56:
Just wanted to say..great launcher! Been using it on my MT3G I got it. Would be nice and appreciated to see an update :D
[Android Apps and Games] Teek5449:
this... and the only thing that I really want is the ability to use custom icons for shortcuts without having to install another app.

Best launcher in my book and leaps and bounds over other launchers as far as battery savings is concerned.
[Android Apps and Games] 4eLLka:
Plz add scrollable widgets function by default.
[Android Apps and Games] tatperson:
I see that this launcher has not been updated for half a year. Is this being abandoned like LauncherPro and ADW?
[Android Apps and Games] far_shooter:
All I need from this, is the ability to hide apps. Please....
[Android Apps and Games] DrHenley:
I hope not. It has given new life to my Vizio Vtab1008, which is rather CPU and memory challenged with a really dumbed down launcher (the app tray is the home screen), but otherwise a solid tablet in a very convenient size (8" 4:3) . I had to jump through some hoops to install Zeam since the Vtab was supposedly "not compatible." But it works just fine in both orientations.

Probably just the manifest needs to be changed to allow installation on tablets. I have not had any problems whatsoever running it on both Gingerbread and Honeycomb tablets. I haven't tried it on ICS simply because I like the ICS interface.

ICS contacts missing

This is a great app launcher. It's super fast. It only shows some problems on my Galaxy S i9000 ICS phone. It doesn't seem to recognize the contacts app and doesn't show it in de app grid. And when I try to add it with a shortcut it is visible, but it just opens the app but doesn't place it. Hope this will be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] oakes:
Hi guys, could you tell me if this launcher works properly in a xoom tablet with a ICS stock rom? Thanks in advance.

EDITED: Zeam works perfectly in my xoom mz601 (ICS) , now my tablet drains less battery. Great launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] oakes:
Try with "Go Contacts EX" .
[Android Apps and Games] cukierkas:
hello developer, thanks for lovely launcher, i'm using it for 2 years+.

can I ask you for feature?

my child likes to play a lot with the phone - and after it I'm missing lots of shortcuts, widgets, etc :)

can you add lock icons feature, like go launcher ex has?

that would be perfect!

good luck in development

[Android Apps and Games] ILikeBubbles:
As much as I hate to jump to conclusions.... I really believe this thread is dead. There hasn't been an update in months, if at all in 2012..
[Android Apps and Games] ddotpatel:
I finally got around to trying this yesterday,... In all honesty I was a little disappointed with the swipe between home screens, the quality reduction of my homescreen wallpaper, and that I couldn't double press my home button to bring up the thumbnails.

HOWEVER,... This all seems to have changed with this new release!!!! Swiping between homescreens is a pleasure once more, the quality of the wallpaper image is still crisp,..... and even though I still cant double press my HOME button to get to the thumbnail previews (try to get this in next time if at all possible),... I can however choose to double tap or swipe screen up to get thumbnails.

A MASSIVE BRAVO from me.

Thank you. Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] jakechance:
I really like Zeam and the only reason I cannot use it full time is that I can't have 5x4 homescreens like LP or ADW.
[Android Apps and Games] player911:
Looks great. I was running Zeam on my gf's phone running cupcake and version 1.5.1 was a little lackluster. You said 2.0 is backwards compatible with cupcake?

I'll have to try it out again using the new version. She's using the default motoblur crap and it sucks big ones.
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
so no dock transparency control?

and i hate the way the app screen opens now ...makes me dizzy

aprt from those 2 issues, it's a great improvemet, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Lesiroth:
I have to say, the 2.0 version is a huge improvement :)

I have one feature request that will make me use it full-time though:

Do you think you can add any form of categorizing or organizing apps in the application drawer? Just headings in the drawer, or vertical pages would be great.

It would really help differentiate your launcher too ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Flash05:
my first time to replace launcherpro. very very nice home replacement.

update screen counts

Odd spacing between the dock and draw icon.
[Android Apps and Games] trancelated:
v 2.0.1 out

change log:

Fix Search Widget F/C
[Android Apps and Games] trancelated:
Hello Mike,

I really liked this update. f**king awesome!

- support for live wallpapers

- neatly tucking in the menus based on their functions

- new drawer animation

- current screen indicator dots (dunno what they are called)

- better orientation response (it takes me 2 seconds or less to get the screen oriented).

just a few suggestions:

- can you implement the animation for screen orientation as used by iphone? that'd be really cool!

- i personally feel that i dont need a shortcut for settings. dont know how many people agree with me, but thats pretty useless for me, I use an icon on screen to click to go to the settings.

- wasnt there support for 9 screens? what happened?

- I personally dont like the shadow formed on the application list by the drawer.

- can you increase the icon size on the drawer?.

- when you tilt the screen after applying a live wallpaper, the live wallpaper doesnt fit to screen :( found out that the wallpaper wasn't meant to be used at that resolution. so the clipping occurred!.

- i have made a stupid mockup of a design inspired by Acer UI, is there any remote chance that it can be made possible?

sorry as my paint skills sucks,

cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] :
unfortunately zeam now requires android 2.x and isn't backward compatible to cupcake anymore :(

will put options for transparency / custom backgrounds in a future release.

lol i needed to make the max 7 because of the way i implemented the new screen previews. i might increase them later on if i am bored

thanks :D see above regarding the screen count. can u explain the shadow on the apps list a bit more? in 2.0.2 i removed the settings option from the menu button menu, and included an option in preferences to load the system settings. i like it that way anyway. the acer UI stuff does look like a cool concept, i will have a look into it. wont make any promises though as my time is quite restricted with real life stuff
[Android Apps and Games] trancelated:
Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S phone and when I click the menu button, it pops up a menu with 6 options:

Add Item

Set Wallpaper

Search

Notification

Settings <- THIS

Preferences

that's the setting I was talking about. It directly links to System Settings.

I just realised that the shadows casted by the widgets are android default. again, when you draw your application list and drag it in such a way that the drawer covers half of the icons, you can see that the icons have shadow of the drawer on them.

thanks for considering my idea. :)
[Android Apps and Games] sleepyfu:
oh no, I meant for you to update the first post to say 1-7 screen, right now it states 3-7. I only use one screen, and think 5 is more than enough.
[Android Apps and Games] ericFuels999:
Great work on the launcher! I appreciate its simplicity and responsiveness.

It would be nice if you could create an option to disable elastic scrolling. I'm sure this has already been mentioned, but I wanted to cast my vote for updating the launcher with such an option. You've implemented elastic scrolling very well, I just prefer to forego fancy animations in favor of directness. Regardless of whether this option finds its way into a future release, I will continue to use and enjoy your fantastic project!
[Android Apps and Games] marvin02:
You might want to change that line in red in the first post to "Requires Android 2.x or higher".
[Android Apps and Games] htcmagic:
Love the latest version, especially the swipe functions. I feel swiping down for screen previews is wonderful for me.(and also customizable).

I read somewhere that using the home button for screen previews is slower than swiping. At least this is what i experienced with launcherPro.

Thanks for the wonderful work.
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
i like the relection effect in the dock, gives it a 3D look.

Is is possible to make the dock organizeable? ....by that i mean to be able to organize the order the icons appear in the dock.

right now the only way to change the order is by removing items and dropping them back in the order you want
[Android Apps and Games] Faruk88:
Are QVGA devices supported?
[Android Apps and Games] nolageek:
+1 big time. :) Horizontal scrolling and categories/hiding for icons in the app drawer would make this a slam dunk for me. I miss those features in dxTop!
[Android Apps and Games] trancelated:
Hi Mike!

Thanks for removing the setting from the menu :)

I personally dont like the shadow on icons in the dock. Yeah, they do give a cool look to the dock, but when you tilt the phone the shadow look gay.. :/
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
found another bug ...

hard to describe but ... sometimes the screen goes off center, everything is shifted slightly to the right. not talking about the dock but the whole screen.

is rectified usually by a reboot.

don't know if it's the new version or because i'm using a different phone but just noticed it (galaxy s)

also, (unrelated), the swipe action is too sensitive, barely a negligeable movement will activate it by accident, it should be at lest a swipe of an inch or so

update

I absolutely love zeam launcher, however it's in serious need for an update; everything is too choppy I read on July 9th that the dev wants to bring the zeam project back, but it's almost been two months, should we really expect zeam back?

I think so

The zeam.org domain was renewed on last July for another 1 year period, so I think yes, we should expect a zeam back :D

Simple Feature Request

Hi, just a simple feature request is to add "open application" option to the swipe up and swipe down gesture option where you can choose any application to open on a swipe, I had this set to calendar before and it was very handy, but it seems I can't choose an app on Zeam.

Also, I'm not sure if this is Zeam launcher related, but when I use widgetsoid, I can't get the flashlight or GPS to work direct from the widget without going into their respective menu first, it was possible to do it direct from the widget before...
[Android Apps and Games] rpadula:
as soon as u can get back to work on Zeam, if you add location capabilities i'd like to help by translating it to portuguese...
[Android Apps and Games] BobbaLouie:
I don't think Zeam is intended for ICS or JB, and I really can't see why the dev would want to continue development on it since its minimal and rock solid stable on previous android versions.

Only makes sense, right?
[Android Apps and Games] cormie:
Happily using it on mildwild 4.3 rom here (running gingerbread I think). 2 simple requests:

Open Application option in the swipe up/swipe down gesture feature

Lock homescreen - So no icons can be moved by mistake.

I will agree with everyone else, hiding apps would be nice.

Used to LOVE this launcher. If only it supported portrait mode wallpaper :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] Evil Avnovice:
It doesn't make sense, since Zeam pretty much works on both Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean.

I would know, as I've already/continue to run it on custom ICS/JB roms on my 'droid.
[Android Apps and Games] BobbaLouie:
What doesn't make sense?

[Android Apps and Games] HackitZ:
I love this launcher. If I had to say anything I just wish it had folders in the app drawer.

Yeah I know this is a launcher built for speed. Just dreaming out loud.

Oh just had a thought maybe have two launchers. Zeam and zeam+ LOL just kidding.

Thanks for the hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] Pumpino:
I only discovered Zeam yesterday and I love it. I was previously using LauncherPro. One thing I can't figure out is how to edit the text underneath icons on the home screen. LauncherPro allows you to edit text at the time an icon is added, but Zeam doesn't.
[Android Apps and Games] Ph1b:
You simply dont. The point of using Zeam is that it is minimalistic. So all these "I wish this and that" are unnecessary.

Btw: The apk works on JellyBean! So I guess porting it would be a very simple step to do ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bill_n_opus:
I just had an experience with the wife a couple of minutes ago. She nearly ripped my head off telling me that unread messages on the Zeam dock I had recently put on her SGS3 did not show up.

That's serious.

I mean, like grounds for no sex. :laugh:

So, I took off Zeam and returned her to the default Touchwiz and she's happy again. Well, not happy enough to have sex with me tonight but better than 20 minutes ago, lol.

Love Zeam on my SGS3 ... would like notifications on the dock if possible please!

I didn't notice the issue before because I tried out some sms widget that shielded the problem from me ... until the wife demanded a solution to her sms problem.

However, I don't want to sound like a total jerk so here is big thanks to the devs for a great launcher. I've tried many and Zeam is still my go to launcher. Great work.

Hide apps

Quite some time whithout an update, is this app still worked on ?

I would love to see a feature where you can hide certain apps (e.g., Local) from the app drawer. I think this would also fit into the app`s philosophy being minimalistic.

One of the best android apps.

Zeam Updated Ten Months Ago

Current Version: 3.1.10 - Updated 12/2011

What's in this version:

new folders layout

smoother vertical apps grid scrolling

ics: manage wallpapers defaulted

ics: fixed dock bootstrapping for browser

ics: fixed wrong default screen on startup

ics: preferences icon updated

smaller apk size

Zeam works like a dream on my Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7.0 GT-P3113 (in spite of the warning by Google Play that this app is incompatible with all your devices. Not so.) Minimalist, clean, smooth, and instantaneous. Love it!

[Android Apps and Games] tihomirone:
Hey guys, you are doing very good job. Some mocks at you, because lack of some features and customizations and the fluidity could be a bit better. But the launcher is fast and has most of the most needed functions. One thing only you have is that your launcher don't has gaps between widgets and utilizes most of the space on the screen.

If I want something you could think of - that is to hide the dock bar and a gesture to bring it back quickly, because he uses lot's of space, which is vital to smaller screen sizes.
[Android Apps and Games] emaz1ng:
