mmmhh, I can see in this thread, that most people want functions in the zeam launcher that are available in GO launcher EX...

I would prefer the launcher to stay the tiny way it is!!! Even the UNINSTALL function on the trash bin is already too much for me.

When it's bloated up more and more there won't be any reason for me to go on using it. Would be a pity!

The ONLY thing for me making it more attractive would be a BACKUP FUNCTION and maybe LOCK the desktop or as alternative one more second, before you can move the icons...

The best launcher. Great work dude.

One suggestion: a option to save all configs in a simple .xml file, for a rapid recover after a "full wipe".

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] lordcloud1:
Please just make switching between homescreens smoother and maybe faster, and app drawer animation and scrolling needs to be smoother. Functionality wise, I love everything.

Great job on Zeam BTW !!!

Hey guys,

horizontal scrolling in app drawer is much better since the last update.

The vertical scrolling in the app drawer ist still a little bit nervous (microlags).

Keep up the good work,

Zeam crashes on boot.

Hi,

Every time my phone boots Zeam crashes one to three times before it finally comes up and stays. I get a one vibration crash indicator, then the triple vibration error and the screen goes blank. After a few seconds Zeam tries again. A couple of widgets loads, then it crashes again, and sometimes even one more time after this. It always comes up in the end thogh. I have tried to start Zeam with default settings and no widgets loaded, but the same thing happens. What could be causing Zeam to crash on boot like I am seeing? Neither LauncherPro nor GO Launcher EX crashes like this, but I prefer Zeam so I would like to figure out what's going on. Also, will these crashes affect how Zeam is running in general later?

I'm running Zeam on a rooted Samsung Indulge (Android 2.2).
[Android Apps and Games] murse:
I just had the same thing start happening to me after the last update. I tried to decipher what was happening in error logs; and it seemed to refer to a problem drawing a window, or the window server, if that makes any sense.

I have a Vibrant running 2.2.1
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
This sounds pretty damn similar to what I was getting several weeks ago when I had to abandon Zeam. Hopefully it will be fixed and I can switch back eventually.
[Android Apps and Games] cdysthe:
I saw the same in my logs. Not being a developer I am not able to determine what's wrong, but it obviously happens when Zeam is starting creating it's windows and placing widgets. It's crashes every time, but when Zeam is up it (mostly) runs flawlessly. I hope this can be fixed since I'm nervous I'll end in a loop without a running launcher every time I boot.
[Android Apps and Games] Cookie Ninja:
Other than the uninstall bug I posted previously, this crash feature occurs whenever I have to reboot / recover from a saved 4ext recovery ROM backup, the launcher DOES crash once during the boot and thereafter runs flawlessly. I thought this was a design feature as it loads all the widgets. Is it a bug? Then may need attention to rework and modify the startup code.....
[Android Apps and Games] cdysthe:
Something happened a couple of months ago making Zeam a bit shaky during boot. Makes me a little nervous, so mabe it's back to LauncherPro until this is fixed. I've gotten pretty addicted to Zeam's speed and simple approach, so I hope a fix isn't too far off.

Landscape dock icons

Using the OG droid, when using landscape (horizontal) layout (when the keyboard is open), I feel that the first icon should stay in its position, instead of jumping to the top of the column, if that makes any sense

I am loving this launcher, i only have one gripe with it, swiping through screens is a bit difficult, often i need to do it two times to get it right, sometimes after unlocking it won't swipe right away etc. Any chance you could optimize that?
[Android Apps and Games] Tastywheat:
Since upgrading my HTC Droid Incredible to Gingerbread (2.3.4) the application drawer is very laggy. Once and a while it will scroll one direction smoothly but then it will start to lag again. Using the stock (Sense UI) launcher and Launcher Pro (v0.8.6) I don't have the same issue. Otherwise Zeam runs as smooth as usual.
[Android Apps and Games] subhasishghosh:
Expections

We use & like Zeam coz of its minimalism. Expect speedy simple desktop & menu. I like Zeam, as it is currently. Please fix the menu scroll lag problem. And please see if possible to provide desktop lock option.
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Butter smooth like Launcher Pro would be my goal. Actually, at this point, I'd be happier if the new Launcher Pro that has been vaporware for months comes out and is as smooth as the old and had the "unlimited icons in the dock" feature that Zeam has.

I liked Zeam, but it never was as smooth as LP when swiping from screen to screen.
[Android Apps and Games] InfiniteRisen:
+1 I would love that too! Plus transparent icon label background.
[Android Apps and Games] synaesthetic:
Zeam is blazingly fast; I love that aspect of it, and it does allow for swipe-down gesture to open the notification shade. With these aspects, Zeam is nearly a perfect option for me... with one exception:

The dock buttons ARE WAY TOO SMALL.

I'm stuck with laggy ADW until someone else can make a launcher where the dock buttons are the same size as the standard app icons. :( Really, if it weren't for this, I'd be using Zeam over any other launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] InfiniteRisen:
This is called zeam. The goal is simple, keep it minimal.
[Android Apps and Games] cdysthe:
I like the minimal dock. I wouldn't mind being able to set the size but then we're on our way to yet another bloated launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] jesssiii:
I accidentally found bigger ones by using Folder Organizer, and Minimalist Text. I used the latter to make large text icons to represent the folders of the former.

I've been switching between GO and Zeam the past few days and GO is surprisingly responsive. I expected a slow, bloated pig. Except for the FC at boot, Zeam is still a favorite, tho.

[Android Apps and Games] cdysthe:
For me GO starts out snappy and responsive, but after a couple of hours it starts lagging. The only way to get the snappiness back is to reboot the phone. Zeam stays responsive "forerver" it seems. The only problem I have with Zeam is the 1-3 crashes when the phone boots. Really weird, but it doesn't seem to affect the performance when it's up and running.
[Android Apps and Games] ProNewb:
This was my first option, loved it. But it didnt have folders, so i went go launcher. :/

is there any chance for adding folders to organize apps in future updates?
[Android Apps and Games] mankokoma:
keep it slim PLZ!

sent from the desert
[Android Apps and Games] synaesthetic:
Yeah, but half size buttons are hard to push. :( I don't want any fancy things, Zeam already has the one sticking point that keeps me from using LauncherPro (swipe down to open notification shade). But I'd like to have my dock icons be exactly the same size as the rest of the icons, or I have trouble hitting the icon/the correct icon.
[Android Apps and Games] odysseus84:
Dear cloakt,

I got a similar question. Is there a plan to add a sortable and organizable app drawer like in many stock-launchers (eg Touchwiz or SE Arc launcher). Important, i don't mean folders.

I bin searching for a launcher with this feature since monthes. But there is no chance to find one.

I hope you, cloakt, think about that.

I think it would be slim and fast as it is now. Just sorable and with not fully filled appdrawer screens ;-)

See the e.g.-screenshots
[Android Apps and Games] eresac:
I'm afraid I wasn't clear (guess it's my english :o)

The builtin orientation switch in the system bar it's very useful to manage the overall orientation behaviour of the phone.

Zeam doesn't react to that, which can be a good choice for some, but indeed it's not good for me (when I turn off orientation I prefer the all pone to stand picture-mode).
[Android Apps and Games] odysseus84:
Hey guy,

U can use eyelauncher as an additv app drawer. It's just a drawer not a full Launcher.

Try it. its exactly what you asking for ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] talhamid:
See, I appreciate the hard work and the fact that it's free.

That said, it doesn't have any feature that hasn't been done better on LP, ADW or that all-in-one masterpiece, Go Launcher. To be blunt, it is difficult to justify Zeam's existence.

I wonder if Zeam could come with a unique feature or two. One idea is to incorporate different 'screens' into the launcher - e.g. messaging screen will have vertical scrollable messages, emails and social feeds, sort of like what Pure Messenger does but without borders, backgrounds and full screen. Similarly, one of the 'screens' can be the scrollable app drawer.

Just my two cents.
[Android Apps and Games] mankokoma:
The unique feature in zeam is, that it doesn't hardly use any resources and that's btw THE justification for it's existance.

You know what would be awesome? A lockable dock. I mean, seriously, who hasn't used their phone as a flashlight and then when you look at the phone again one of the docked icons is missing? Or you go to delete something and end up dropping it in the dock instead? Just a thought. Thanks for reading. Lovin Zeam so far!

Hi,thanks for this launcher...i use your app since the first release...i have only one request : could u make the icon dock more biggest??please..your launcher is the best...but i think that the icon dock are too small...
[Android Apps and Games] lordcloud1:
The main reason for Zeam's existence for me, is that I have a screen where I don't need a phone or app drawer icon. Plus it's small and uses few resources. Having said that, I do wish it was smoother and faster, with it being as small as it is.

I like this launcher a lot, but had to stay with 3.0.7 versoon as updates were nothing but trouble on my Epic 4g. The home screen took forever to redraw, the app drawer pages were choppy and laggy with.the update so I am staying put with 3.0.7 for now. Although I would like a dock locking option and larger dock icon option, scrollable widgets and app folders - would much rather prefer that an update returned the 3.0.7 functionality back to Zeam.

Drag to other home screens

I recently downloaded 3.1.5 and really like the minimalism (especially with memory use). However, I am unable to drag widgets/icons from one screen to another. If I drag them to the edge, the screen doesn't move to the next one for me to drop it (as my stock launcher does).

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] :
yeah i made it to the right side to cater for the scrollable app dock. i could probably make it user-adjustable either left or right, but i dont think center will work with the scrollable dock.... :)

sorry for the delay in responding. i could most definitely make some styles for zeam, however with the new apps-dock bar it will be next to impossible to replicate the froyo launcher exactly. i might make some skins and even an option for full transparency

the reason i took out the bottom bar when you open the apps drawer is coz it causes major lag on scrolling on some slower devices. im always trying to improve and get better speed, so if i am happy with the performance i might include it again. i found pinch and squeeze to be a pain to access the previews on sense lol (ie need 2 hands). so i put previews on the home button but i will also get around to a double-tap to open them.

i am working on the widget layout size, however its quite hard for me to replicate. and i will look into that backflip issue.

[Android Apps and Games] McKebapp:
What about making it part of the scrollable dock itself?

With some kind of magnetic / kinetic feeling feature?

I don't really know how to describe it in English.

The drawer button could return back to its starting point after scroll the dock.

Just like the steering wheel of your car?

One could place the button wherever one likes.

The one scrolls the row and the button also scrolls together with that row.

After a few seconds (the time should also be user editable too) the whole row scrolls back to its starting point.

In this way Zeam keeps its unique scrolling feature and each user would be happy to put the drawer button wherever one likes. :D
[Android Apps and Games] cgonz92:
i was actually thinking maybe you can take away scrollable dock. i dont use the scroll feature at all. i think it would actually look better with app launcher in the middle and able to dock 2 apps on each side of the launcher. i think that would look better in my opinion, also maybe an overshoot for switching between screens like in ADW launcher how it kind of bounces.

but i also do like the idea from McKebapp, seems like it would be a really cool feature if able to be pulled off

Just when i feared Zeam wasn't going to be my future Homereplacement , you add the ability to remove text on the regular icons!

Now if you would make it possible to put Better Cut shortcuts in the bar (with the icons staying) I could probably use this , and might even press the donate button when it arrives !

Ps. The Spotify icon is still much wider when added it seems , when i drag it its clearly a much wider 'orange box' underneath.

are you trying to set a live wallpaper? if so, i have left live wallpapers out for now. since i am keeping 'one version for all', it causes serious lag with live wallpapers keeping it backward compatible. i dont see it as toooo big of a deal right now since live wallpapers are generally for showing off. no one really uses them everyday coz they eat your battery life baaaaad.
