Just use an older version. I'm using 3.0.7 and I love it. I really wish there was an update that fixed the smoothness of the app drawer and it's opening and closing animation, as well as home screen speed and smoothness. I'd gladly pay once it's smooth and refined. But for now, I'm ok with the older version.

[Android Apps and Games] spambayes:
Just speculating but I wonder if the smoothness and speed have anything to do with resource usage? It seems that launchers that use at least a moderate amount of memory and CPU are more easily able to keep the UI smooth and slick but making everything too minimal has the unintended consequence of slowing things down. Just wondering.

i'm sure it's a matter of settings.for me 315 is working very fine.once i had these issues with fc on start up but it helped to clean the data in app management.

i went from zeam to adw. adw offers things that i would love zeam to include...such as re-sizable icons in the dock and call/sms/email icon notifications. until zeam can include those 2 items, i wont be returning :/

Photo frame widget?

Is it just me or is the photo frame widget broken/not appearing in the add-widget menu?

I've had it running the latest Zeam on the stock 2.3 ruu running Sense 2.3.5 (I think) and it worked on Zeam there. Today I tried out Aurora rom and again installed sense and found I've not photo frame widge.

Is it not possible (have I been dreaming having been certain I've had it for months) or am I breaking something?
[Android Apps and Games] eloisant:
Yes, performances and memory usage are often a trade off.

If you use the memory to keep stuff in cache, you'll gain in speed and smoothness but you'll be using more ressources.

That's true for equal functionality. If you carefully select the features to implement you may gain in ressources usage without sacrifying performances. But if you add features only useful for a few people, all users may have to pay the price.

is there a possibility to deactivate the dock or would it be possible to get a feature like this?

i had no idea Zeam was on XDA!! I LOVE YOU!!! Zeam is the Sexiest launcher out there i love how it's so minimal! absolutely wonderful! i don't know if you're working on this already but one thing that i think would be awesome (i'm sorry i know you have so many people requesting things!) is the ability to hide icons in the app drawer... i love Zeam so much but for now i'm stuck using LP because i have such a cluttered app drawer :( I'm so glad i found the XDA thread though! now i can follow it even better! thank you so much!!
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Not sure if anyone else finding this in 3.1.5 but if I open app drawer and Menu>Uninstall then uninstall I get the darken icons w/ red (x): uninstalling an app works fine. After, however, the app drawer looks like 'normal' - as if I'm out of uninstall mode - however slecting an app takes me to the uninstall app dialogue. Possible bug in not reloading the uninstall icon overlay or something?

Love this launcher for 2 reasons.

1. It's simple and small

2. The double tap gesture

thought about that but doesn't work because the widget and symbols make it ugly
[Android Apps and Games] hawkeyexp:
Hi cloakt,

since a long time i use zeam and usually i'm happy with it. But there are two points where i think that must be adjusted:

- when scrolling from screen to screen it feels a little bit laggy till the launcher switches to next screen.

- when double tab on the screen for the preview it is very slow

I have the same effekt on my desire and on my sensation :-(

Is there a way to fix this ?

(info: 7 screens - most only app-links and some widgets like facebook powermanagment etc.)
[Android Apps and Games] :
It would be wonderful if you could add an integrated backup mechanism, dev. That and an option to lock the launcher from edits.

If I could edit shortcuts (rename) zeam would be flawless for me.

Btw, i just uninstalled adw ex.

Zeam for Nook

Hello! Thank you very much for your excellent work!

I have a rooted Nook Touch (e-ink) and Zeam 2.8.8 works fine on it. Please, could you make a "perfect" version for this device?

-Fix the white-on-white texts, as this user did (but without adding another language ;)

[Android Apps and Games] mapetejka:
First of all, thank you for this great launcher.

I would like to suggest one feature, which should be easy to implement:

An option to "lock" launcher screen in landscape mode.

It would be very usefull for those who use their phones this way or for some specific phone types.

Thank you for considering and for this awesome launcher again.
[Android Apps and Games] DarkSorcerer:
Really. Agreed.
[Android Apps and Games] cdysthe:
Hoping the persistent crashes in 3.1.5 will be fixed soon.

Again, I think Zeam is the best launcher out there. That's why I am so eager to see one big problem solved in future versions. In 3.1.5 Zeam crashes three to five times during boot while loading widgets. And then almost every time I add a new widget or move widgets around. I have gone back to 3.0.7 which works great without any problems in this regard. However I am hoping to be able to use upcoming updates and not be stuck on 3.0.7. I'm running Zeam on Android 2.2 on a Samsung Indulge phone. Otherwise Zeam works flawlessly and is very fast and stable.

Thank you for a great launcher without any bloat and/or unnecessary candy.
[Android Apps and Games] prozacdefraud5926:
Zeam is good bcoz it's fast. But I'm using GO Launcher. Zeam hasn't got folders, graphic screens settings (u must add screens etc in launcher settings). Can sbd tell me which launcher has got folders and it's fast?
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
I doubt it.
[Android Apps and Games] cdysthe:
I've tried all of them. None comes close to the speed of Zeam. So no, you'll be giving up some features for performance. I hope Zeam stays the way it is as far as features go and that updates focuses on speed and stability.
[Android Apps and Games] Cookie Ninja:
I think I may have found the reason why the launcher does a double FC at every boot. I tried first with standard position of apps (some in phone, some on SD card), and the FC occured. The second time I migrated all apps to phone memory and rebooted, and no FC issues. Is this why? Dev team please confirm?
[Android Apps and Games] SilverFoxDesigns:
Wow

is Zeam launcher coming back ?
[Android Apps and Games] cdysthe:
Do you mean putting absolutely all apps on the phone, or only those opened when the phone boots? Currently I do not have room for all my apps on the phone, but I do have room for those starting with Zeam.
[Android Apps and Games] cdysthe:
Coming back to who/where/what? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Cookie Ninja:
All apps. Tested and found crash free on CM7 and on ARHD.

The crash seems to occur as the message "preparing SD card for use" comes in the notifications.

Disable dock bar scrolling

I recently changed my phone to LG P990 and its stock launcher to Zeam launcher.

I very like this launcher however I have one problem with it even if I have only three icons in dock bar it is still movable not much but you can scroll it a side for a few pixels.

It is bit annoying because when I try to start the application from dock bar, it is not starting just scrolling a side.

Is it possible to disable dock bar scrolling?
[Android Apps and Games] arhiplus_net:
I have gone back to 3.0.7 TOO > works great !

[Android Apps and Games] InfiniteRisen:
Elastic scrolling in app drawer and lock desktop would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
That's odd because my dock doesn't scroll at all with just 3 shortcuts. Did you try to fill up the dock to see if it still scrolls?

Is your dock a solid color? If it is what you could do is add icons that blend in with your dock background color to fill out the dock bar. Use desktop visualizer to create a new short cut. For the icon use a jpg image that's the same color as your dock background. When you add the shortcut to the dock what you'll have is an invisible icon. You can set the action for anything you want. You can set it to launch the Zeam app so if you do accidentally tap the shortcut the only thing that will happen is you'll be taken to your home screen. You'll have to add shortcuts to both sides or mess around with the alignment to keep everything centered.

Zeam selector colour change

Just discovered Zeam and think it's fantastic, love the full screen and action bindings, it's just what I was looking for! :D My only problem, for which I can't find a solution anywhere, is that the colour selector change doesn't work - I've set it in the options to match the Android green, but it stays orange in the UI. I have an HTC Desire running Solstice ROM. Has anyone experienced this issue and can anyone offer any advice on how to fix it please?

Auto-rotation

Any chance to have Zeam behave depending on the android rotation switch?
[Android Apps and Games] chris10230:
I wish it would do this and not to be nagging but mentioned it before and never heard anything...
[Android Apps and Games] TheCreat:
I have been using Zeam for quite some time and very much appreciated it's the simplistic nature. Unfortunately all those crashes made me look for alternatives. Zeam still FCs at least twice after boot, also every time I integrate an update to a system app into the ROM or convert any user app to system app (or vice versa). I've also had it crash on me when just regularly updating apps from market...

Since there hasn't even been any comment regarding these problems (which seem common to me after reading this thread), or even a post in over a month by cloakt I've kind of lost hope on the matter.

I'm still great full for the launcher for all the time I've been using it and the time he spent on it. I know he developed it for himself, tailored to his own needs and was kind enough to share it with us. Still, it's time for me to move on

Again, thank you cloakt for all your work on it so far!

I've settled on NemusLauncher for now (free on market). It's quite simplistic as well, supports folders and handles things like integrating or converting apps gracefully. It's also very fast/smooth and has an either vertical or horizontal drawer like zeam. The dock is scrollable with 5 normal sized 'slots', but only in pages like most launchers and it always uses the middle-slot for the app drawer symbol (which is OK for me, if not preferred).
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Thanks for that, nice and simple and fast. The folders are nice but useless if you use SiMiFolder like I do.
[Android Apps and Games] DarkSorcerer:
Nemus Launcher is fine... But you cannot configure the dock, you're always with the scrollable option on. I don't like that.
[Android Apps and Games] Bornnover:
I am experiencing some performance problems on my HTC Sensation, app browser is laggy (also 4 and 5 columns) so it's unusable...everything else is great i would like to use Zeam but in this state it's impossible. I've tried it on different ROM and it's the same...
[Android Apps and Games] Cookie Ninja:
Tried the nemus launcher. Back to zeam for the following reasons.

1. Hogs less memory. Nemus uses 24 mb as cached prog and 8 mb as running prog. Seam uses 16 mb cached and 4mb active.

2. No swipe & double tap customisation on nemus homescreen.

3. Scrolling dockbar of nemus is not to my liking.
[Android Apps and Games] theasters:
OK 100% ,I back Zeam to.
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
I liked the Nemus Launcher until it went nuts on a reboot. Kinda like Zeam did to me a while back. Seems as though Launcher Pro is stuck with me for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] primetechv2:
tl;dr Are scrolling widgets back yet?

The only reason this launcher was good was because it was fast. (Which is still a pretty good "only reason" to have something.)
[Android Apps and Games] kuyam:
I'm not sure if it is a common bug but I just noticed that after using the app drawer's option to uninstall an app the app drawer reappears with all icons looking normal (no red X) but they still behave as uninstall icons. I had to press the back button to go back to the regular app drawer.

I really like Zeam so far (1 day of use), coming from Go Launcher Ex. I solved the lack of folders with Simi.
[Android Apps and Games] mickey4mice:
Great, but a few annoyances

New to Zeam, great minimal launcher for my unrooted ATT S2.

Here's a few things bugging me (may not be Zeam's fault):

1. when I use built-in Task Manger->Ram->clear memory, S2 always defaults back to Samsung TwLauncher. Is there an app out there that clears RAM without killing Zeam?

2. When long hold anywhere on the screen, Zeam pref box pop-up, is there a way to disable it?

3. Everything I make changes to Zeam, the wallpaper(static) always gets stretched, manually go back to TwLauncher then back to Zeam seems to fix it, is this a bug? Can it be fixed in the next release?
[Android Apps and Games] InfiniteRisen:
1. Clearing RAM means killing all apps.

2. Idk, I don't really care

3. Disable manage wallpaper internally in pref.

Is my screen too bright, or am I just too ASIAN?!
[Android Apps and Games] mickey4mice:
It is disabled, so is the scroll wallpaper option. Seems like a bug to me.
[Android Apps and Games] mawster:
Bug for some time

Re 1: Zeam goes away as launcher very often. This has been reported often, and is basically or should be a known issue.

I'd say try some old Zeam version for stability (pre 3.0?). The 3.0 series seem to be having more problems for me. Others have reported similar experiences here.

/mawi

PS Ignore silly fanboy comments. Your PR had a better SNR than the average here.
[Android Apps and Games] :
i have been working to try improve vertical apps scrolling on devices with poorer cpu's, like the sensation (i own one too). i think i have gotten it much quicker, compared to how it was and another launcher in market :-| but not as fast as i would like. anyway i am always looking at ways of optimizing zeam within the bounds of standard android views.

ps: sorry for the lack of updates. free time is limited these days :-| im working on it every now and again when i get a chance..
[Android Apps and Games] cdysthe:
Any chance you've looked at the repeated FCs people are experiencing during boot with 3.1.5?

Other than that and possible performance tweaks Zeam is the perfect launcher and doesn't need tons of updates. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mankokoma:
You can use zeppelinrocks' script to make it "bulletproof". Made the experience that then it's not "kicked out" so often. But it won't help in killing it with task mananger...

Interesting is, that the "default" is put back to twlauncher - I never had this issue...

I know this, but am i able to "disappear" the dock; And moreover i don't want extra memory "leak" (as desktop visualizer is a widget)!

I don't think that by changing an icon it wouldn't still be minimal :p
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
The point is why bloat up the launcher just to add a function that can be easily accomplished using desktop visualizer. Btw desktop visualizer can create shortcuts and not just widgets and you can't add widgets to the dock. And if by "disappear" you mean hiding the dock, numerous others have already requested that.

[Android Apps and Games] Denwa:
The abilty to set the number of dock icons (more than the small/med/large option) would be great.

I changed my screen density in order to fit one more visible on the dock. I use 8, including drawer launcher.

Unfortuneatly that solution conflicts with a lot of apps on the market, leading to market denying you a download. (Incompatible with your phone message).

Also, a way to change icon text size. The option to resize icons when you change the number of rows/columns works great but the icon text does not resize.

I've been using this since Canada got the htc magic. Now its on my sgs2 and chinese tablet.

Scrollable widgets works great in LauncherPro, so it's obviously not impossible to create a good implementation of this without help from the framework. I do not know what resource usage is involved implementing it though. If it's considerable I'd rather live without scrollable widgets in Zeam. Again, it's Zeam being slim and fast I'm drawn to. Please keep it that way.
