Dear cloakt... something? Some news about new version? New features?

Please create a backup function... or how i can do a backup of my screen zeam launcher setting? I'm a crazy rom flasher...

And could You add opinion for hiding apps in app-drawer?
[Android Apps and Games] mikers1:
This is an excellent launcher! I have been using it for a while now. Sometimes I would switch to other ones (even paid ones) to get some variety, but I keep coming back to Zeam. Even though its lightweight, its got many useful features.

The only thing I would really like to see is a backup/restore feature!!

Is this in the works at all??

Thanks again!

Is it possible to make my own custom dock to use with this launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] The.Yield:
Forced install on Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus running custom rom w/ stock kernel.

I LOVE the zeam launcher! lol - I use it on all of my android devices

On the 7.0 plus the dock icons are VERY small, as are the desktop icons - but it works; and works well.

Sensor rotate is a little sluggish but it's tolerable.

I would love official support for this device directly from the dev team -- And of course I offer up my device for testing purposes.

Just PM me if I can be of any help.
[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
So I just tried out the latest version of this launcher again. Its been awhile, but I am still quite disappointed...no "auto hid notification bar", and no option for "icon customization" or "themes"..... Are any of these ever coming to this launcher? Don't get me wrong, the only reason while I am asking because I really like it, but those are deal breakers for me.
[Android Apps and Games] dragang:
Hi, I like Zeam launcher very much. I have only one wish. Please can you back option for scrollable widgets or if someone can make mod of newest Zeam launcher but with option for scrollable widgets. Please.

[Android Apps and Games] hinata76:
Just downloaded it yesterday..want to try out others besides ADW Ex launcher,Go launcher..SS launcher...

i must say this is very speedy!!

hmm..but will there be support for custom icons soon?

im using simple text to make my icons etc..

also possible to have a search function within the application drawer? would be nice if one can just search for that app instead of swiping for it.

Other than that..GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Android Apps and Games] captaincrook:
Don't know if it's a bug or not but when you go back to the home screen from an open app drawer, the widgets/screen have that cached look to them.

Reproducible every time.

Same across Froyo/GB. Not tried ICS. Anyways, I figured that the screen shouldn't have the cached blockyness upon return. Only way to "Fix" it is with a swipe to another home screen or rotate the launcher.

Tasker interaction

Hello there,

is there any way to switch the current screen from another app, like tasker. Maybe using an intend or a locale plugin?
[Android Apps and Games] bergamin:
This launcher is awsome and I'm definitely keeping it as my launcher but I would really enjoy if I could navigate throught the dock's icons with my BT keyboard arrows.

The apps in the screen works fine (they get the highlight and all), but it won't go down to the dock. And it sucks not being able to access to my main apps with my KB.

In the app grid it happens to work, but only if I scroll the grid a little, after that i can navigate thru the apps in the grid with my KB arrows. It would be awsome if it were "fixed".

I don't mean to be annoying, it's just a wish I wanted to share xD. Anyway, really good job! Great launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] DarkonerXD:
thanks buddy..
[Android Apps and Games] face23:
Thanks for developing this launcher. Its just what i wanted nice and small footprint.

I'm not sure if this is a bug but i found that when I pressed the home button all the widgets would have to refresh. I'm on android 2.3.5 samsung galaxy W. To correct this I set zeam as default launcher and then shutdown and restarted and it seems to have fixed the problem.

My final thing is that I noticed you don't do scrollable widgets is there any chance you will be putting this feature back in?

Once again great launcher Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] stupid_one:
I've been using zeam on my gingerbread Meizu M9 for quite a while now. it's the perfect launcher for me on android at the moment...

The only problem I've persistently been having (apart from random restarting of the launcher - which i'm guessing is android OS-related) is with my wallpaper. My screen resolution is 960 x 640 (the M9 has the exact same Sharp IPS display as the iPhone 4/4S) and for some reason, even if i choose a 960 x 640 picture as my wallpaper from within zeam - it doesn't display it correctly. I get a "zoomed-in" appearance as if i'm using a lower resolution device. I have not experienced similar problems with the defaul Meizu (FlymeOS) launcher. Any ideas on how i can fix it? or if an update is on the way that might fix the issue?

Apart from that, i still love using zeam because it packs in just the right amount of functionality without any superfluousness.

Would like to see an update to the gingerbread version of zeam soon, but I also hope to be running an ICS firmware in the next few weeks...

[Android Apps and Games] vlt96:
Why do you need scrollable dock??????????? Did you even try the launcher? It is the main difference between stock...

I moved to ICS, and lag sucks... ICS is lot smoother than GB, and zeam sucks on it (optimus one)

But making drawer smooth would be what the launcher needs...

[Android Apps and Games] farukdgn:
Hey.

Could you add another icon pressing effect for ICS?

Bug: The middle part of the wallpaper is shown while window animations are being played!

Can someone tell me how to get the icons on the dock bigger? They are tiny. Have increased the icon spacing, but cant see anywhere to increase the size to make the icons larger. Any help?

Edit: Ahh, worked it out. It was the LCD density. Upped it a bit and it was fine.
[Android Apps and Games] tedjack:
I have a very irritating issue with the Zeam Launcher - it gets forced out of memory when I use Browser or Maps and then I have to wait several seconds for it to load again. Process org.zea.core shows about 16 MB usage - not sure if this is much or not but it may be possibly the reason it has to be moved out of memory to make room for other memory hungry applications. I'm using it on Motorola Milestone which is limited in RAM running Froyo.

How can I prevent it from unloading from memory?
[Android Apps and Games] daniel590:
is there a option to make folders inside the app drawer, look like the tw launcher.

I have heard about this launcher with light recourse usage. may be it will perfect for my low end device
[Android Apps and Games] J0kker:
I second that.

Zeam is by far (i mean FAR) my fav home launcher, but it lacks the ability to create folders on app drawer, or hide the apps we don't launch offer, or those we launch from home screen etc.

If i had to choose one of those two possibilities, i'd go with the folders, just like in the home screens, and the dock bar, that would be perfect... :)

With currently around 100 apps/games, it's a pain in the [you know where] to go through the app grid haha...

But i really miss zeam when i switch to others...

Great work on this app, i think it could be the first app i'd give somes bucks just because i find it awesome :)
[Android Apps and Games] supagram:
The only thing keeping me from using zeam launcher is the fact that I can't disable the dock.

Wallpaper at Home Bugness - ss gs2sr

Hi,

2nd day trying out Zeam. Out of the gate it's pretty simple and just about perfect. Many thanks to the developer(s) for providing this short-n-sweet launcher option.

Wallpaper Bug:

Setting a wallpaper (in portrait mode) ends up zooming in on the image that I've set. I've tried all combos of the available wallpaper options within Zeam with no differences to the outcome - a zoomed in on wallpaper image.

What I've found is that with my default launcher, touchwiz, if my wallpaper is set to the same as Zeam and I switch to the tw launcher, where the same image is displayed "normally", and then I switch back to Zeam then the wallpaper image is displayed proper in Zeam and stays that way until Zeam is restarted.

So, in short, a Zeam wallpaper zoom "bug" workaround is

1) set image wallpaper in original launcher

2) set same wallpaper in Zeam

3) briefly switch to original launcher

4) switch back to Zeam

- this effectively "unzooms" the wallpaper within Zeam until a restart occurs.

If there is a real fix that I'm not yet aware of I'm all ears otherwise I hope this makes somebody slightly less annoyed sometime, somewhere along the way.

For reference this is on a samsung gs2 skyrocket @ 2.3.6
[Android Apps and Games] farcry27:
Kudos and development

So before I say anything, all Kudos to the Dev cloakt I really have achieved a great fast minimalistic launcher.:cool:

I am sure you have achieved your goal, but with 330 pages of comments/requests, you must wonder what features to add for your users next. So I thought I would highlight this:

<<<APP DRAWER FOLDERS>>> 34 mentions on this thread

Due to hundreds of drawer shortcuts one does not want or frequently use. This will help clean up the app menu so you can actually find the 20 apps that you need but dont want on your home screen.

I love this feature in Go launcher, but Go launcher is slowing my phone down.

<<<BACKUP AND RESTORE>>> 49 mentions on this thread

This will enable the launcher to restore to its previous configuration after a system reload. This is another great feature many apps are getting lately. Its very useful for the typical XDA user who flashes different roms or reflashes/test different version/beta testers.

Hope that helps. Again thanks hugely!
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
You missed the 188 mentions in the thread that this is a minimalist, fast performing launcher. And I bet his goal was a launcher for personal use that he was kind enough to share with the rest of us.

That about covers it.
[Android Apps and Games] ncdlek:
it would be nice if the apps order by usage frequently.
[Android Apps and Games] DeathmonkeyGTX:
In my opinion and a great many others Zeam doesn't need further work. I haven't seen a bug so far this year and unless some crop up in 4.0.5+ I don't see the need for further work.
[Android Apps and Games] Evil Avnovice:
You know, I've tried a good amount of launchers, including some obscure ones, but I

always

come back to this.

Everything works like I want it to, and there's just enough in the way of preferences to tweak Zeam to my tastes. Couldn't ask for anything more.
[Android Apps and Games] LeopardSurd:
That's not a solution. The dev should listen us. I don't bother if I need to pay to do it. Maybe a paid Zeam, why not?!
[Android Apps and Games] PoedelPCS:
I would like to be able to start a specific app with swipe up/down. But the rest fits my needs :)

My story exactly! No matter how many different launchers I try, I just can't find everything I like in anything but zeam! I mean, I would almost go for launcher pro, but it is missing the swipe gestures that are EXTREMELY useful! Zeam; just enough features to make it perfect, not so many to make it cluttered and confusing.

I normally don't do this, praising another app in another app-thread, but:

I used zeam launcher for a long time, nothing came even close, but since it isn't developed anymore: "nova launcher" finally pulled me away. (ICS only)
[Android Apps and Games] Evil Avnovice:
One of the things I can seem to get only on Zeam (and ADW/ADW Ex) is the dockbar. None of that "15 slots only" garbage on most others I've tried.

And the UI is nice and clean, where most others look sloppy and amateurish.
[Android Apps and Games] Fannon:
Developed?

Is there any successor to Zeam?

I really like the concept of this launcher. Go is nice too, but to feature crowded for my taste.

[Android Apps and Games] azsamsancho:
I just installed a ROM which came with Zeam Launcher -- never had that launcher before. How can I change the icon size in the dock area? I am used to the stock ICS launcher with exactly 5 big icons... Now Zeam has more icons and they are tiny compared to ICS's launcher...
[Android Apps and Games] jesssiii:
^This. Totally agree!
[Android Apps and Games] jago25_98:
Permissions scared me a bit too. Guess I could just limit them and keep things neat (prefer dialer to be only thing that can dial... it seems logical to be but seems I'm an extremist these days :p

One thing I wonder is how light on CPU Zeam is compared to ADW. I'm looking to lower CPU usage. In fact, I'd prefer to go with something black and white and no animations. I prefer things to look basic, I'd rather have 1% cpu on the process than 2% for the sake of no eye candy. Is there anything lighter in this sense than Zeam or is it my best bet?

Ah, just found Metro UI at <90k! Nice!
[Android Apps and Games] Evil Avnovice:
Bring up the menu, go to "Preferences", then go to "Dock", and you can change the size of the icons there.
[Android Apps and Games] akabadnews:
I used this with Slim ICS rom for a while. I loved the minimal style and snappiness of it.

Wish there was an option to hide dock and use custom icons though.
[Android Apps and Games] azsamsancho:
I can't find anything in there. What I see in the Dock area is the folowing:

Scrol reset

Scroll reset to

Background

Item alignment

Item spacing

there is no size setting for the icons ..??
[Android Apps and Games] Evil Avnovice:
It's there in "Item Spacing". It lets you choose from "Small", "Medium", and "Large".
[Android Apps and Games] azsamsancho:
Not quite. I am on large spacing and it just makes the icons spread out. They are not as big as the icons on the stock ICS launcher. If I make the icon spacing small, it just puts them all together in the center of the dock, thats all.. So no icon size preference :(
[Android Apps and Games] IceCreamHoney:
This is probably the best minimal launcher I have used but I don't use it because it doesn't have the ability to hide icons. That would be the only feature you could add to make it better! :)

That CCSEE looks interesting. I know TiBackup does freezing, wonder if it does hiding? Just curious as that would mean not needing another app to get since I have the Pro version. I figure almost anyone with root would have TiBackup.

Sent from my Sprint Evo View 4G (PG41200) using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] nickabbott:
That CCSEE program works the same as Titanium Backup's freeze feature does.

It will stop the application from working and remove it from the app drawer.

This might be what some people want, but I want to hide the icon but keep it running!

I.E. on Cyanogenmod I'm running my own theme so I want to hide theme chooser, but it STOPS theme chooser from running and then hides it. I just want to hide it!

There're 2 things I think could make Zeam perfect:

1) Super smooth home screen scrolling and app drawer scrolling like Go Launcher EX has. I find Zeam seems to be a bit.... skippy and not smooth!

2) Hide icons from the app drawer but ONLY hide them! I don't want them disabled, just hidden!

Other than that I think it's perfect! But whenever I return back to Go Launcher EX you can just see the smoothness of Go is better than Zeam :(
[Android Apps and Games] UnitedOceanic:
CCSEE does not freeze the apps.

i have aix weather widget installed, removed the icon via ccsee and the widget still works, same for sms pop up.

google maps comes with 4 icons, maps, navigation, places and latitude. i never use places and latitude so i hide them, again maps works just fine.

another one, the default video app in cm7 is build in the the music app, never use the default video player, so i hide it.
[Android Apps and Games] srdjannj:
You may try the app called All Apps Organizer. It substitutes app drawer and you can organize apps by category if you want and also hide the icons. Google it. I don't know if it's against the rules to post the link to paid apps. It's on the market.
[Android Apps and Games] nickabbott:
My test probably wasn't very good then!

Running go launcher ex I hid the icon and it reverted back to adw launcher instead of go. Unhid it and then go launcher instantly came back.

Not a brilliant test as I wouldn't hide go when running zeam but it definitely didn't just hide the icon.
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
The same developer makes Folder Organizer also. More features, more widgets. I believe there is a trial for it but it's been awhile. I've been using the paid app for over a year.

[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
You could also give AppDrawer a look. It's a substitute app drawer based on AltDrawer.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=JakedUp.AppDrawer
[Android Apps and Games] nickabbott:
That is pretty much perfect for what I would be looking for!

Ideally would prefer that to be built in to Zeam as that's the point of using it, to be lightweight, and adding this additional app on uses more overhead but still, it's pretty small! Just don't think anything can beat Go for smoothness of scrolling though!

Great find!

Try Lightning Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] kanishkapd:
hi guys,

just downloaded zeam launcher from the market and installed in my hd2 running hyperdroid. (haret)

it works really well, but, one issue.

in market the size of app is mentioned as 300kb+ but once installed size is shown as 800kb ! which is actually larger than default adw launcher in my rom.

why is that? am i missing somethnig? the reason i downloaded this app was because i thought it was a small app and would take up less memory, faster...etc.

regards.
[Android Apps and Games] pathologo:
It's the app's data. That's the nature of Android apps.

You may try Lightning Launcher, which is even smaller, about 60 KB. But in the end due to the app's data Lightning Launcher will consume even more space than Zeam Launcher.

Btw, didn't you realize already that this is also the case with many other Android apps??
[Android Apps and Games] kanishkapd:
i m kind of new to android :)

no..its not the data only. if you check the size of the app in manage applications/settings,

zeam launcher is 720kb. (app only, data not included) where as adw launcher is only 600+ kbs. :confused:

howcome the app which is around 350kb in the market become 700kb after installation? (this is the app only, with data its 900kb)...and what is the advantage of it, if the default adw launcher is smaller and has more customisation features?
