ADW doesn't have the scrolling icons. And it's very limited in the number you can use- even with the irritating hidden dock bar.

[Android Apps and Games] DocRambone:
Its a REAL pity this launcher is not worked on any more. Still the best.. but getting some issues with later android roms.
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Too bad there were more complaints about this not being like sense when the devs intent was more towards "minimalism and speed, not competing with Sense" ;)

I still use it from time to time on my Fuze running XDAndroid...
[Android Apps and Games] olinz:
Zeam

Still by far the best launcher out there
[Android Apps and Games] GeobMcFly:
totally agree :(
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
how come development stopped on this launcher?

would others be able to and willing to take over development?
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
one way around the limited dock bar slots in ADW or any launcher for that matter is to use an app like folder organizer or simi folder. They allow you to create "folders" and when placed in a dock bar slot a pop up of all the apps placed in a particular folder will show up.
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Probably, if the source code was released :rolleyes:

Though it seems the dev may be over their heads with rl stuff. Course I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt... :D

I do hope if not the dev, someone else can pick up where they left off :)
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
can you detail the tweaks/settings/configuration for ADW to make it light weight and fast like Zeam?
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
aospCM will also allow this feature. Both of these roms also allow you to set what happens when you press the search button and long press the search button.
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
ADW allows widgets (e.g. SiMi Folder Widget) on the dock bar? I didn't think you could place a widget on the dock in any launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] paratoneer:
Can we get some screenshots?
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
1. add to home screen

2. shortcut (I am not sure which version of android this was introduced in but I don't think it is launcher specific because Zeam includes this option as well as ADW and LauncherPro)

3. scroll through the list of shortcuts and find the one for folder organizer (there will be 2) or simi folder widget)

4. pick the label (folder organizer) or the folder (simi folder widget) you want

5. drag it to the dock bar slot (this is for adw, in launcherpro you would have long pressed on one of the open dock bar slots)

You aren't really placing a widget on the dock bar when using simi folder widget. The short cut acts more like a folder link but instead of opening a whole new window it opens a scrollable popup above the icon in the dockbar.
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
if your post was directed at me what are you looking for in terms of a screenshot?
[Android Apps and Games] pbecks1963:
Hello y'all,

Can i save the settings of ZEAM? (number of screens, positions of icons and widgets)

?
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
You can add widgets to the dock in dxtop lite. Thought id mention that.

[Android Apps and Games] Jayziac:
Yes all settings save except sometimes the order of dock icons get rearranged after restarting Zeam, but it also goes away sometimes when I kept rearranging it and at some point it just saved.
[Android Apps and Games] Abu-7abash:
Best launcher out there. Fast, stable and very reliable with no force closes what so ever.

Its just a shame this isnt worked on anymore.

This launcher is hardcore. Super fast and really cool!

I wish it would continue to be developed..:)

[Android Apps and Games] kiwijunglist:
I have this problem

If I click restart launcher in preferences the dock icons change, it seems to be quite random in the way it changes, usually it involves one of the icons in the dock duplicating itself.

When I use ES-File Explorer to explorer /data/ then the directory is empty, my phone is rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] jesssiii:
Cool wallpaper. Is that a Rosie bar under the zeam? How'd you get the double row?
[Android Apps and Games] galaxys:
Best launcher for me...Very Fast, Stable and Smooth! Wish op would continue dev!
[Android Apps and Games] Bluerai:
Not to hijack, but I think that the double row is because he set that icon as a Folder, then put those apps in the folder?
[Android Apps and Games] jdhas:
Looks like SiMi Folder Widget to me.
[Android Apps and Games] sleepyfu:
Ya, it's SiMi folder in shortcut form not widget form as launcher dock do not support widget. I don't run it like that, was just replying the screen shot request.

I suppose you can set up a folder with most used apps and dock it center, and used gesture/action binding to access the full app drawer. Which should give you a very clean home screen yet easily launch apps.

I am sad to hear that this has stopped being supported. I love this app. I install this first on every new flash. Even got my wife hooked on it. Still runs great on 2.3.3.

I hope they come back.

[Android Apps and Games] Lem0nHead:
I like Zeam very much

but after I installed froyo, it's getting killed every now and then

isn't there a way to put it on the notification bar or something like that to avoid it being killed if there're other apps that also could?
[Android Apps and Games] Peter_Peterson:
hi!

just installed zeam and love it so far! only problem is, that after reboot it says "unable to load widget".

widget to load is "android agenda widget" and cm7 power widget
[Android Apps and Games] john10101:
why did dev stop? this is a great launcher, just started using it. im fairly happy with it. i like the minimalist concept.
[Android Apps and Games] jelle2503:
abandoned support :(
[Android Apps and Games] macedonas:
Why, why, why???

Why stopped!!!!

Please come back! It's the smoothest launcher and many people want it!
[Android Apps and Games] jonwgee:
Are the apps you have widgets for on your SD card? They have to be in phone memory to load on reboot
[Android Apps and Games] Pard0ned:
Would love this to continue development, in some form.

Definitely the best launcher out there!!
[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
my launcher is very poor
[Android Apps and Games] lownox:
Maybe he will pass the development to someone else. I like this launcher... less is more in this case. ZEAM FTW!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Flash05:
im hopeful that this will be continued soon.
[Android Apps and Games] henrymiller13:
best. launcher. ever.
[Android Apps and Games] lildwell:
I second this statement. I have used many other launchers but I always come back to this one.
[Android Apps and Games] h9s:
Not Worth To Stop !!!!

Anyone continue to add "hide apps" on the drawers ??? one that feature missing ~~~~~

come on !!!!! COntinue just that 1 feature !!!
[Android Apps and Games] Emilius:
I am wondering what is the reason to stop this excellent if not the best luncher to time. I put Luncher Pro plus on side with no questions ask... This is killer luncher. Some unique and excellent features, speed and minimalism will hold me for long time with this pappy.

I agree with keeping things simple but you should not stop it, really. For this app I am willing to pay monthly :o)
[Android Apps and Games] MongooseHelix:
Very happy in switching from LP+ to the sleek and fast Zeam. Helps keep my low-spec Eris run smoothly and thinking this will be my launcher of choice for awhile. Would definitely pay or donate if cloakt can and wants to develop this further or gives someone permission to take over/create a fork. Whether any updates come in the future or not, thank you cloakt for this great launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
We should all thank the first post and star it if we like the launcher just to see if anything good comes from it... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
Nothing will happen sadly. Cloakt hasn't posted in any threads in a long time, so I doubt he'd ever know.

I feel like a stalker now :o. I hope he has been able to focus on his personal life and also hope he has noticed how many people love Zeam.

[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
How cool is that!:D

That's it, I'm ditching GO Launcher which is going crazy after the update.

Welcome back cloakt! :)
[Android Apps and Games] v941726:
ditto. Which leads me to my 1st request. We need a backup /restore feature. Haha. Have to set it all back up again :(
[Android Apps and Games] gerbick:
Oh heck yes... I saw the update, blinked like 4 or 5 times.

Using this on the Atrix, loved it on my Captivate, thank you for the update(s).

Thank you.

My other request would be to be able to add multiple apps to a folder.
[Android Apps and Games] Pard0ned:
Welcome back, cloakt!!
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
First off welcome back! Secondly I want to say how freaking unbelievably great you have come back to the project. Fell in love with it on oxygen and used nothing else til after it was discontinued, and since then have been stumbling around lost in launcher world. I LOVE the way the dock works and nothing comes even close.

If you are taking requests for features, might I suggest a way to edit sizes of widgets that already exist.. Or perhaps a few more tweaks to the homescreen like transition animations.. Drag and drop uninstall would be cool as well.
[Android Apps and Games] skye9342:
Omg! We missed you man! Your launcher too. =)
[Android Apps and Games] Arithmomaniac:
There is D+D uninstall already... Hold over trash
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
Odd when I first installed it, it didn't work, but now I've had a couple reboots it seems to be working.
[Android Apps and Games] Flash05:
welcome back! zeam ftw!!
[Android Apps and Games] envygreen:
cloakt, I am one of many, but we're glad you're back. Love zeam and happy to see the update. I'd already resigned myself to using it till it broke and then crying over some single malt. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ukanth:
Welcome back. Great to see you here again :)
[Android Apps and Games] sleepyfu:

Donate option?

There seems to be a lot of feature requests for Zeam. Is it possible to take a modular approach to development? Add each biggish feature as a mini-addon or something, so people can choose what they want
[Android Apps and Games] phoffer:
To add this comment and a couple others, it seems that so many people love this launcher for being quick, light, and having just the right features (myself included). Then, a lot of people love it but also have feature requests, which will, inherently, reduce many of the positives people love about it (in theory).

What about having a regular Zeam, as it is now, and a "Zeam Plus" or whatever it could be called that would be based on regular Zeam, but then have a bunch of added features? That way, people who love the minimalism would stay with the regular (or just not update at all) and people who want more features can have them.

Obviously, I (and many others) are just incredibly thankful for the launcher as it has been for awhile, especially those stuck with Motorola Blur and other stuff (like me). This was just my thought though.

Again, thanks for such an AMAZING launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] sashajovicic:
Very nice!!

I hope you will find time and continue developing :)
[Android Apps and Games] Batryoperatedbob:
Seconded on being scarce with feature implementation. I love Zeam as is. If I wanted something big and slow I wouldn't use Zeam.

backup/restore feature would be nice though...
[Android Apps and Games] Backdraft11:
Wow thanks for coming back, always loved this launcher.

Also people, stop inundating him with feature requests (IIRC that's what made him leave in the first place). I'm sure he's taking all these requests to heart and will weigh the needs of the minimalism aspect of the launcher vs. the benefits of adding a feature. Altho I guess starting a project/bug page on code.google.com or something wouldn't be bad to start tracking and organizing the feature requests for this project.
[Android Apps and Games] dark5un0:
Feature Request

To allow hiding apps in application dock! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Snoere:
Glad development continues

Zeam is the best launcher on the market. I'm really glad and thankful that you found some time to continue development.

Zeam stands out of the rest because it features everything you need with a very small footprint. I'm running CyanogenMod 7 on my Milestone. Gingerbread needs more resources, but Zeam gives me a very responsive system.

I vote for just fixing bugs (eg my dock reshuffles from time to time) and keeping focus on having a small and lightweight app.

Thanks again for providing this incredible launcher. And I hope you had been successful with whatever you had to get sorted out ;)
[Android Apps and Games] sykomaniac:
Yeeeeey Zeam is back! I just un-followed you on Twitter earlier in the day as well as I thought this was definitely dead!

[Android Apps and Games] resore:
Great work cloakt! How can I donate your product?
[Android Apps and Games] bbbbqq:
great launcher.

only things I'd change are that there is no way to add a custom icon'd "open applications" to the dock, and the complete removal of the dots on top telling you what screen you're on.

hint hint
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
(IMO)Probably best to just remove it from the dock; long press on the icon and drag to trash or to home screen. Unless you were talking about hiding them from the appdrawer and that is a tad different than hiding the icon in the dock ;)
[Android Apps and Games] v941726:
this all i would want. d/l'ed folder organizer for my other feature request.

backup restore is kind of essential. especially when your a crackflasher. :)
[Android Apps and Games] edwardmlyte:
Welcome back! Been using zeam since they advertised it on lifehacker and can't find any fault. Just make a backup/restore feature and its perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
Woohoo. Saw the update in the market and did a couple double takes.

I know everyone wants something different but I love zeam for it's simplicity. Glad to have support again but please keep it fast and simple.

Thanks for a great launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] cile1977:
There is drag and drop uninstall - just drag app from appdrawer to trashcan and hold it - dont drop immediately...
[Android Apps and Games] HolzwurmMarkus:
Hi,

it's the best Launcher (for me) on the Market. I'am still using Oxygen 1.0.4 and it works absolutly awesome for me.

It's very cool to see that you are still here and maybe some developing wil be done (Bugfixes, maybe adding 1-2 new features).

It would be nice to get it in other languages, so Multilanguage function would be very cool :) It's nothing essential but would be very nice to have :)

Is there a way to donate you or the Zeam-Launcher project ? I'd like to donate this fantasic "app" and I'am using it every day, so it only would be fair to donate it, like i did with other usefull applications, I use every day or very often. :)

I'am no codewriter or something but for translations (German) for example I'd like to help also :)

Greetings from Germany

Markus

Added Question: Will the Zeam 2.8.8 work fine on the Oxygen 2.0.3 ?
[Android Apps and Games] yken:
if it was possible to hide icons from app drawer it would be great. Strange there is not any app at market can do this individually.
[Android Apps and Games] aladin6:
Finally there is an update for this awesome launcher, please keep this project "alive". However, i have a suggestion: please add an import/export feature for it (widgets/configuration).

Thank you very much.

[Android Apps and Games] v941726:
you can freeze them in titanium backup

[Android Apps and Games] v941726:
there is no donate button is there?
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
But then you can't use them. If they are hidden you can still access them. Eg a browser doesn't need to be seen in the drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] v941726:
if you can't see them, how do you click on them?
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
For the browser, you could use google search to type in an address. Or click a link in a message. That's why android is wonderful, so many ways to do one simple task.

Sent from my always stock, EC05 Epic 4G
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
At the current moment, there doesn't seem to be one. Perhaps someone can whip this dev up a nice donate button? :D ;) :p Not saying that it should be connected to a specific paypal account or what not... :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
I never click a browser directly. You follow a link out of an app or use the search button on the phone.

Other things I don't need in the app drawer would be anything I have in my dock or on a homescreen.

The ablity to hide apps would be something I would like BUT I would rather not have that built into Zeam if it means I end up with 10 features other users want that I don't. If I wanted a bloated launcher I have plenty of other choices.
