Would love to see a feature where I could hide icons in the drawer hence reducing lag.
[Android Apps and Games] wultan:
Good app.

I would assume that the speed of the launcher is due to the lack of the additional features such as the alternate swipe to activate at the dock, etc.

Feels much speedier that LP.

Any way to donate?
[Android Apps and Games] brettf:
I will be totally sold on having this as my daily driver if you include:

- Drag from tray to desktop bin to uninstall.

- Allow for folders in the Launcher Tray. (kinda OCD about tons of apps in my drawer)
[Android Apps and Games] crubbish:
another request

cloackt, would it be possible for future update to make side buttons 10-15% wider? I think it'd add to ergonomics. The center button could easily lose some width. Once again, thanks for the app!
[Android Apps and Games] :
made the buttons wider by about 15% in v1.2.1, so should work better ergonomically now. their width was still in px, changed to dip to support screens with other densities better.

will get around to doing the folders in the apps tray, for now added the ability to uninstall when dropping apps into the delete zone. configurable in settings of course :)

it seems somewhere down the line i have 'implemented' some lag into the apps drawer lol. going to fix this next, along with the phantom views drawing on scroll..

The handcent bug still exists in the latest version of zeam. It's the only thing that keeps me from using zeam as my default home.
[Android Apps and Games] TheSSJ:
Hm, sorry for the dump question, but how to activate zeam as home screen? I installed the apk and the launch-button in my package installer was greyed out...:/

I have a rooted HTC Tattoo

/Edit: I've made it the hard way - I've appended the suffix 'old' to Launcher.apk and Launcher.odex and moved the zeam.apk as Launcher.apk to /system/app...is there a less "brutal" way to do this?
[Android Apps and Games] brettf:
slow down there... clear defaults for any Home Replacement app (like advanced launcher) under Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>AdvLauncher> Clear Defaults.

Press Home and it will now ask to use Home or Zeam (or any others you may have installed) as the default homescreen
[Android Apps and Games] TheSSJ:
Well, I had the Standard Android Launcher - how to disable this one? did I have to simply restart my device to choose the application I liked to have as Launcher app?
[Android Apps and Games] crubbish:
Thanks cloakt! Good luck with further development!

Minor point: side button icons are not centered with new 1.2.1 version. I'm using Legend btw
[Android Apps and Games] monkeyberry:
after a full day use on desire, with 1.2.1 im getting a strange thing happening.

the orange highlight button (optical joystick) has highlighted multiple icons, even if i swipe to new page. various (not all) icons are highlighted orange.

reboot fixed it .... hmmmm
[Android Apps and Games] jlyq:
This application works damn amazingly fast on my milestone.

But my lockscreen wallpaper can't seem to stretch full now. I also can't set the wallpaper to full screen in the default android launcher. Bummer.
[Android Apps and Games] :
fixes for 1.2.2

fixed

fixed

should be fixed

fixed

did a lot of refactoring to make it quicker. fixed alot of bugs. rewrote the screen stuff, so should render much better now. as always, keep the feedback coming :)
[Android Apps and Games] mikey242:
Great stuff cloakt, 1.2.2 looking much faster!

I did notice that the shortcuts on the desktop seem to be a bit blurry compared to what they were in Sense (gmail, talk, maps) although the Messages icon looks ok.
[Android Apps and Games] :
thanks :D

what device setup you running?
[Android Apps and Games] mikey242:
Sorry forgot to mention, Im running a rooted desire on stock fw.
[Android Apps and Games] lvbaal:
cannot find in Market

any ideas as to why it does not show up in Market on my Android G1 1.6?
[Android Apps and Games] :
unfortunately until I can figure out why Android Market won't parse my AndroidManifest.xml file, it'll be on SlideME market :mad: or just download it through your browser at http://zeam.org/
[Android Apps and Games] mikrokiwi:
you should fix that, because this app would OWN the market ;)

1.2.2 is running amazingly smooth on my X10 thanks!

oh and btw, what wallpaper resolution should we use for the best result? :p
[Android Apps and Games] HunteronX:
960 x 852 I think - At least for the Xperia X10.

There are some backgrounds of this size on the 'Backgrounds' app on the market.
[Android Apps and Games] :
finally got it into the market!
[Android Apps and Games] HunteronX:
Nice, downloading it now. :D
[Android Apps and Games] KMino:
Loving it, small efficient and quick!

However, not switching over until I can change the grid size of the icons displayed on screen. I use 5x4 in portrait currently, 4x4 is just too spacey. An Auto-grid option would be great, when changing between Portrait and Landscape. ;)

Throw in that option and it shall be perfect! I see it's done in the pictures, but can't do it here :(

BTW, Love how it brings up the Status Bar when swiping up the Notifications. ADW just leaves an ugly empty space where the Stat Bar would be, but isn't.. ;) Yes I am fussy!
[Android Apps and Games] hjetyekus:
It is great!

I love this home alternative besides the original.

Keep on polishing this little gem, Sir! I kindly purchase it when it is possible.
[Android Apps and Games] marcelotorres:
Excellent launcher!

It's small, fast, and very stable!

Thansk a lot for develop this.

PS: Is it possible to create or add in cube menu like launcher pro?
[Android Apps and Games] cronot:
Little bug - left margin out of nowhere

First of all, kudos for your work! You've got the best Launcher out there!

Now, here's a little bug. I've got a Motorola Milestone running the stock firmware (Eclair 2.1-update1), with just slight modifications (JIT enabled and Memhack). Zeam works fine, fast and stable as a rock. But there's a strange bug that triggers when I'm getting out of a fullscreen application, usually a game like, say, Angry Birds, or when getting out of the camera application, but I've had it happen a few times at random when coming out of the lock screen too. Pictures speak better than words, so look the "before" and "after" pictures attached, they speak for themselves. The "before" is how it looks, and should always look under normal conditions. The "after" is, obviously, the way it looks when the bug triggers, under the conditions above.

When the bug triggers, switching the orientation to landscape and back to portrait (by sliding the keyboard out and back in) makes that left margin go away and the screen looks like before again. Restarting Zeam also makes the screen look right again, but that's more cumbersome to do... :-P

If you need any more information to help you track down this, let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] Grady_hawks:
Not sure if anyone can help but since the update I seem to be missing several apps in my drawer... have tried with the default launcher and with LauncherPro and with them I can see all my apps.
[Android Apps and Games] shamo42:
I second that.
[Android Apps and Games] xxjabberwockxx:
I just wanted to thank you for developing this. It is so lightweight. My Samsung Intercept gets bogged down easily by other launchers and this thing is very, very nice!
[Android Apps and Games] addoyle:
Come back again from LP. Could we have the ability to save a scheme? Dock changes on every restart.
[Android Apps and Games] Dakar22:
Sorry, if similar questions already were. Not have enough time and language skills to read all pages. So...

Have same problem as cronot (LG Optimus, os 2.1)

After launch any program in landscape, if autorotate in Zeam was disabled, an ugly gap appears on left, widget grid becomes a little thinner

It will be great if icons in dock will scroll discretely, or even by screens as in Launcher Pro

After using default LG launcher I used to the categories in app drawer, so it lacking this ability here. It would be enough to have ability to add separator lines (w/o names) and custom sort of items

May be hiding icon labels in drawer (and respectively decreasing intervals between icons) will be useful for someone

I noted one interesting feature in Samsung launcher: icons which have been moved to dock, are removed from drawer (so they are not duplicated). It would be suitable here too

If all this will be realized it will become the best launcher (for me)!

PS. open apps on Home click is great!
[Android Apps and Games] Coxeroni42:
I am getting a force close when trying to start Zeam on my Galaxy running GAOSP (CyanogenMod 6).

Anyone a clue why? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] fluke:
Hi guys a little help how do you change the dock icons?:confused:

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhdojo:
Use Desktop visualiser.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhdojo:
I had the same problem. Try the 'resart now' option from the settings menu.
[Android Apps and Games] drew2d1:
@ fluke

What icons and clock are those?
[Android Apps and Games] fluke:
Tried with that but cant get it to work on the dock their on the desktop but when i drag the ones without the default icon they don´t stick to the dock.

example the text and contact icon don´t go to the dock:confused:

Don´t know that is a quote from another user.
[Android Apps and Games] drew2d1:
ah of course it is.

So @ htcmagic then!
[Android Apps and Games] freakness51:
and if i'd like to change the drawer icon on the dock??

i'm able to make shortcut for any other app, but not for this one...

who can help me please??
[Android Apps and Games] firemedic1343:
That's probably the only feature that's holding me back from switching out Launcher Pro. I did try Zeam for a while, and I LOVE it!
[Android Apps and Games] fredmode01:
It's not possible at the moment, but I wish I could change the default icon too (I've even searched in "activities" to see if there was some kind of way to get a shortcut for the app drawer using desktop visualizer)

It could be a nice upgrade for some next version :)
[Android Apps and Games] dhaines:
Apps on SD Card Not Appearing

I'm having this issue with Zeam 2.4.1 on Ruby 1.1.4, at least to a degree.

It seems that as Android figures out which apps are installed, Zeam updates its app list for the first part, i.e. user apps stored in the phone's memory. Zeam does not, however, seem to update its app list as Android figures out which apps are installed on the SD card (on /mnt/asec or /mnt/secure/asec, I don't yet understand the difference).

If you wait until Android has sorted everything out, e.g. when Angry Birds or Google Sky Map appears in the installed applications list under Settings, you can restart Zeam, and everything is as and where it should be.

Is there a proper place to report bugs? I'd like to make the developers aware of this.
[Android Apps and Games] Kr0nos:
Real great Launcher für low RAM Devices as my HTC Magic, it nearly doesnt have to reload and even if its 10 times faster than ADW

there are only little things missing for me to be a "full featured launcher"

- option to hide the indicator dots

- hide icons from drawer (no need for cataloges like ADW, simple check boxes like in launcher pro would be nice [for me])

- i know that this might hurt performance, but maybe a 5//7 row drawer would be nice

(- adjustable overswing for elastic scrolling)

if i have to pick one request, it would be the hiding of icons in the drawer

really great, blizzard fast launcher, thanks for the work
[Android Apps and Games] stone_ship:
Great great great launcher. I'm using this as my main launcher.

I'm also having the above issue running CM6.

All you need is resizable widgets, and it's perfect.

(Icing on the cake would be resizable dock icons--similar to ADW scale factor...)
[Android Apps and Games] pele78:
i object to any requests!! lol

Keep this launcher simple and clean please and true to its purpose = Clean, Simple, Fast & Minimal.

Anymore add-ons and it will turn into BLOATWARE !:D
[Android Apps and Games] pele78:
LOL this is the only request i would support (AS AN OPTION), hence making the launcher light and faster if needed :D
[Android Apps and Games] Judim:
I agree so much! Keep Zeam clean and light. I love it like it is.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhdojo:
Same here!!!

Thx.
[Android Apps and Games] arefin:
just awarded 5 stars in Market!!

hi there, you definitely trashed out others by slimness & speed of your launcher. the Android 2.2 AOSP + ZEAM is = ultimate speedy ROM.

keep it as it is, dont improve it .... .... ... LOL
[Android Apps and Games] andrewsoong:
Five icon rows option is all I'd like to see.

You see five in the app drawer but not on homescreen. Not sure why! Homescreen looks a bit bare with just four rows.

EDIT: Oh and backup/restore for if you want to do a full wipe.
[Android Apps and Games] FrozenLord:
I really like this launcher :)

It runs smoothly on my HTC Diamond (using one the CM6 mods).

I'd like to hide the dock altogether and maybe make the alignment of icons center.

I currently have 3 icons in the dock and it looks funny, because these icons are placed to the left. There is a huge black space on the right, making the whole screen look asymmetrically.

Is there any way to skin the dock or change the icons (e.g. make them flat or b/w) that are displayed?

Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Perfect launcher

I really love ZEAM. Small and fast.

But I have a problem of force close.

Not sure if it is related, but when I try to use a customized framework, generated with UOT kitchen, ZEAM gets FC continously. I have then to go into recovery and reflash the original ROM again.

When I go to default launcher everything is fine. Even with customized framework.

Rooted HTC Desire with modded Modaco ROM, S-OFF.
[Android Apps and Games] brucemcl:
I have used GDE and I know what you are talking about with the Application Dock Widget. There is an app called Power Strip that may help. It should work with Zeam Launcher. It is a paid app.

http://socket.intuitit.mobi/

Also, I want to add my praise for Zeam. I just installed it today. It's running great on my original myTouch 3G. I think it runs better than the stock Froyo launcher on my phone. Great job!

...and plus one for adding an option to turn off the screen indicator lights. It is a very minor thing, not really a problem at all.
[Android Apps and Games] 71baker:
Been a while since i tried Zeam. I stopped using it back when the dock first changed, cause the app-drawer icon could not be changed and so on.

Now i happened to see that Zeam was updated and that dock is more customizable so i downloaded and wahey!! I'm back!

Great stuff !!!
[Android Apps and Games] :
.....finally fixed

as always, thanks everyone for the positive feedback, 2.4.2 out :D
[Android Apps and Games] ericizzy1:
added hdpi icon

what is hdpi?
[Android Apps and Games] Enhdojo:
Thx!

10 chars
[Android Apps and Games] Enhdojo:
high density pixels per inch.
[Android Apps and Games] Juiii88:
I have a question.

Is a notifying system for sms and gmail unread count for the dock available?

With any apps? Or does this come with other version of zeam launcher.

mfg juii
[Android Apps and Games] freakness51:
+1 for Juiii88 =)

it would be very nice!!
[Android Apps and Games] dhaines:
Thanks so much for fixing the apps on SD card issue. I would note only that if one of those apps is on one of the home screens, though it is accessible, its icon remains the default Android app icon.
[Android Apps and Games] Baxxx:
looking great!!

BUT:

PLEASE add a 5th Row Option!!

(maybe with resorting for landscape)

Thanx,

Bax
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFresco:
Seconded 5th row option. It would be an awesome addition.
[Android Apps and Games] pele78:
Latest Update is just right!

Moved Settings to menu = perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] Dakar22:
i see, zeam is regularly updating.

but what with problem with margin at left after launching programs in landscape (see page 59)? will it be fixed?

and it would be nice to add categories to app drawer. does it really needed for most users?
[Android Apps and Games] ltGuillaume:
What if your home screen becomes the first with a decent App grouping functionality in the Applications grid? Just labels to scroll through... Frankly, any home screen I know lacks a decent App grouping function in the App grid. 63 pages, prolly argued before, can't think of a reason why not, so herewith I just 'second' it :P
[Android Apps and Games] 71baker:
Actually , atleast ADW.launcher has this functionality. You can make categories , then you can make buttons that lets you choose which category is shown.
[Android Apps and Games] Dakar22:
This topic is about Zeam and i`d like to see this functionality in it :)

Lg and Samsung default launchers also have categories but Zeam is more convenient in almost all.

PS. in TouchWiz icons which were placed to dock are removed from common apps list. It`s cool!
[Android Apps and Games] markmcak:
Notifications

Is there a way to return "Notifications" to the menu button - the way it was in 2.4.1? I've been using Zeam for several months and really like it.

thanks,

Mark McDonald
[Android Apps and Games] 71baker:
Absolutely. Though if you look at my reply it was to ltGuillaume who said no launcher he had seen had a decent way of doing it , and i tipped him off about ADW.
[Android Apps and Games] OldGaf:
Livewallpaper......

I have an LG GW620 running:

openetna: System.img V6.1-rc4, Boot.img V2.4.2

and Zeam 2.4.3

I am able to get live wallpapers to load, but have the following issues.

It can take several attempts to actually switch to live wallpaper.

It takes a LONG time for them to load (tho they run very well once loaded).

Once the phone goes to sleep, I need to pull the the battery and put it back in to get the phone to wake up.

Is anyone else having any problems with this using Zeam?

I will be switching to another launcher tonight to see if it is an openetna issue.

Either way I can just do without live wallpaper, but it would be nice to be able to use them.... and to know what is causing the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] lapya:
The best, fastest, cleanest launcher app I used on my milestone, keep up the good work guys. Thanks...
[Android Apps and Games] tsompanis:
I used adw so far. I liked how minimal that laucher is. Good work, thanks alot!!

Althos, as others said, will be possible to add resize function for the widgets? It will be awesome!!

One more suggestion if it's possible..

How about add a choise to view the applications (menu) as "pages" and not just scroll down?

Thanks again for the launcher!!
[Android Apps and Games] pqee:
I've been enjoying the 6 icon dock but I've been getting Force Close errors daily with this launcher. I'll probably switch back to LauncherPro or adw soon.

If it helps, I have 1 scrollable widget and 3 or 4 non scrollable ones. I'm not sure what's causing the crashes. Is there any log of what might be causing it?
[Android Apps and Games] torvick12:
Wish it would work on landscape but other than that is pretty cool;) But still sticking to launcherpro ;) (NVM I GOT IT 2 WRK LANDSCAPE ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dennishylau:
very fast indeed. even faster than adw. good job :)

scrolling and everything else is extremely smooth on my i9000 except the screen preview... it starts to lag if i open the screen preview two or more times in a row... otherwise this is perfect :)

thank you cloakt :D
[Android Apps and Games] BeeGee_Tokyo:
:confused: It is working in landscape :confused:

Did you enable landscape in the preferences of ZEAM?
[Android Apps and Games] brucemcl:
One thing that may help is to make sure you don't have any widgets running on the stock launcher or any other launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] I9000bramgmail:
nice launcher but i'll stick to the modified touchwiz for this reason:

i love zeam over touchwiz alot especially the dock, but the app drawer.. nah it ain't it for me.. maybe in the future it could be transparant? or an option for that?(: (:

and like someone else already said.. apps in pages? if you got these 2 i'll definetly ZEAM back on my device(: (:

sooo i'll check this out later(;

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Yannn:
Please where could I download the .apk of zeam ?
[Android Apps and Games] Spitemare:
Search for 'zeam' in the market. You can also scan the QR code in the OP with something like Barcode Scanner.
[Android Apps and Games] Yannn:
i don't want QR code ... just the APK !
[Android Apps and Games] Spitemare:
The QR code will send you to the market page where you can install Zeam. Is there a reason why the market approach won't work for you?
[Android Apps and Games] Yannn:
cause I would like to add it to my custum rom
[Android Apps and Games] Neffstarr:
NIze work brotha.. i like it nice and clean,,,

install it from market and then backup with AppMonster or other similar
[Android Apps and Games] Moonwalker1432:
Zeam definitely is nice and smooth. i just wish u could hide the notification bar and disable the wallapaper scrolling

Have you tried enabling Fullscreen Mode? The setting is under General.

ZEAM launcher in HTC Desire Oxygen ROM - perfect bundle!

Just finished my small mods on the Oxygen 0.2 beta version.

It runs fast and stable with ZEAM launcher.

I added to the ROM only:

Softbank Japan S!Mail (different MMS application)

iWNN IME from the Softbank Desire Froyo ROM for Japanese typing

Softbank Japan APN for using the flat data plan

Customized framework with %battery​

​

More info on my website.
[Android Apps and Games] midopama:
Its an perfect launcher !!

Until today I used launcher pro, but Zeam is much better, ist much faster !!

BUT please give us 5 rows at the screen !
[Android Apps and Games] GreenGoat:
surprisingly fast! i start to love it but how can i change the dock shortcut?
[Android Apps and Games] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Place the shortcut of the program on the home screen (or any other screen), then drag it onto the dock.

Once on the dock, longpress to move it left or right or delete it.
[Android Apps and Games] serrum:
HTC Widget support please

Very good launcher simple and effective.

I just need the support of HTC Widget.

Thanks.

:-)
[Android Apps and Games] addoyle:
You'll need a sense ROM for HTC widgets. You can get replacements for most things from the market, not always quite as slick though.
[Android Apps and Games] serrum:
I regret to install widgets alternative in addition to my htc widgets. :(
[Android Apps and Games] bovirtual:
Great launcher!!! Really fast on a HTC Magic!! and without FC's

Great work!!
[Android Apps and Games] gandhisfist:
I agree with this guy, 5 column portrait/7 column landscape add drawer would be awesome. Also, if for the dock at the bottom, you implemented it so that a swipe would just move to the next set of however many icons you can show at once, that would be excellent, rather than just scrolling normally with your finger. Its a very small annoyance, but i think that would make the dock a lot more usable.
[Android Apps and Games] Kr0nos:
htc doesn't allow there widgets to be placed on any other launcher then the Sense Launcher - your out of luck

@ the dev:

If you add anything like 5 row (in drawer or on screen) or app catalogs or anything that could possibly hurt performance, can you do it in a fork? Like Zeam Plus or anything?

I myself now got a new, more powerfull phone, but there are a lot of people out there with g1's or magic's or something as "ram less" as these, and zeam was the best launcher for my magic (and i'm using it on my new phone too)

really great, fast launcher, thanks for the work
[Android Apps and Games] alfiej:
Wow I happened to stumble upon this launcher today in the market.. Very nice launcher!!
