Zeam does this thing where it forgets all my settings (but not app icon locations, curiously enough) when my phone freezes. It's not Zeam causing the freezes, it's a documented problem with the rom I use (Bonsai4All 4.1.1 for Epic 4G), but Zeam appears to be the only app affected by it (along with WhatsApp).

Any ideas?

Feature request/suggestion post

... :o

Hi cloakt, sorry to disturb you and thank you for Zeam! :)

The request/suggestion is quite a stupid one but it would be nice to have the "hide apps in application grid" option, followed by a selection list, in order to hide selected apps!

ps. to see it working, this setting is already present in Federico Carnales' launcher

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE :D
[Android Apps and Games] SypherNL:
Can you please take a look at the market publishing of your app? My Archos tablet can't find it, but it works just fine with the APK you provide.

It would be a lot easier if I could just update it though the market instead.
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Updates fine through the market here, must have something to do with the tablets in general?

Great laucher thank you. Just what i was after. App draw seems a bit laggy scrolling up and down but maybe a reboot will sort it

The sense launcher is called rosie.. Look for that.. If you can't find it still, there are apps on the market that will clear the default launcher, though can't think of the name as I've never used it..

App drawer sluggishness on Nook Color

I really like the launcher, but the app drawer is very sluggish on my Nook Color running CM7. Hopefully this can be resolved in next release. App drawer is fast in other launchers so I'm not sure why it is slow on Zeam 3.02
[Android Apps and Games] xpector:
Still lagging...
[Android Apps and Games] bijixda:
So happy with this launcher... thanks!

Hmmmm, can't say I'm overly impressed with the latest one.

Seems really laggy compared to 2.9.6, and also looks like it uses more battery.
[Android Apps and Games] Cyc1one:
I use swipe down to open notifications and swipe up for full screen toggle.

Which means I've had to repurpose double tap to open the dialler instead of having a dialler icon on the taskbar as I'd like.

Seems like a step backwards to remove the option to have action icons.
[Android Apps and Games] jesssiii:
You can add the Phone app to the taskbar.

[Android Apps and Games] Proelio:
Why there isn't a memory selection option in the drawer? I mean, when you scroll down in the drawer and come back to the homescreen, when you open the drawer again, the list starts again and doesn't show you the list just in the place that you were before close the drawer.

Sorry for my english. Thanks.

EDIT: Forget it, I'm blind.
[Android Apps and Games] kreoXDA:
There is an option to remember last app drawer state, look closer, in the preferences.
[Android Apps and Games] Darth Bagel:
My thunderbolt won't remember zeam as the default launcher. No matter how many times I check the"use by default for this action" box it still pops up just about every time I hit the home button. I tried "clear data" on htc rosie.
[Android Apps and Games] Unkjcr:
Hi! :)

Great launcher! I've tried ADW, LaucherPro and GO Launcher and none of them is as light as yours. But there are two thing that is missing here. One of them is scrollable widgets. It's a big deal for me as i use a lot of that kind of widgets. The other one e the ability of using a custom dock background. Hope you can fix this. :D

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] juicebox666:
3.0.2 is super laggy on my Desire with DevNull 1.0.3, especially when running an app and pressing the home key or starting from sleep. The screen is blank with just my wallpaper and an empty dock. I'm guessing this has something to do with some icon cache?
[Android Apps and Games] vinal:
Been using this for awhile on Nook Color. Great work!

Only suggestion I have would be to add a lock for workspace. Sometimes I lose icons and later find that I inadvertantly moved them to another screen.
[Android Apps and Games] ronjon:
great app!

one rquest, is it possible to disable the zoom animation when i click the app launcher button?

never mind just found it: preferences - application grid - animation
[Android Apps and Games] TimmyHate:
+1 to this - Its the only feature of ADW I really miss (well that and backup screens but can live without that),
[Android Apps and Games] Pard0ned:
I second it.

I would also love to be able to back up my Zeam settings and stuff, so that if I need to upgrade my phone, or whatever, the set up afterwards is a lot easier.
[Android Apps and Games] datagubben:
Scrollable widget is a big deal (u mad?), otherwise very good on my misty silver Sony Ericsson Xperia ARC. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Proxyofss:
Is there any chance that we can get the scrollable widget api back?
[Android Apps and Games] quickstang:
Doubt it. This topic has been beaten with a dead horse and there seems to be no talk of bringing it back.

We have tried to offer suggestions like a beta version with it on to try, people have offered to help work on it and 100s have asked. It's just not going to happen. At least there has been no response to it ever coming back, or even the smallest... We are working on it.

Many people are complaining that the dev only does what HE wants and not what the user wants. People say that if you don't like it, don't use it, or use 2.8.8

If you look back pages, scrollable widgets are the biggest request. While there have been numerous updates, that has not been re implemented.

So, you either use 2.8.8, or you use another launcher with scrollable widgets. That's what people will tell you if you want it.

On the other hand people will also tell you that if the dev doesn't keep up with the other devs of launchers, it will not last. Sure it is light weight, but all that needs to happen is one of the many other launchers to have a lighter version, or someone else to come out with their own and Zeam Launcher will be history.

I use the 2.8.8 version, and every time I see improvement or fixes, guess what? I don't upgrade because scrollable widgets is not on the newer ones.

I do have a feeling though that if I keep waiting, I'll find another launcher to replace this one that will have the scrollable widgets and be light weight just like this one.

You can only use a program so long before you give up. This is becoming the case for me. I like all of the updates I see, but since they do not contain updates plus scrollable widgets back in, they are of no use to me. It's like i'm holding on to old software for one important feature. That is equally important to me as all of the fixes, so this is why I will probably switch. The dev just won't add both.

Again, this is what you have to do. Choose what is important and go from there. Just remember that you will NOT get bug fixes and speed improvements, etc etc because you'll want scrollable widgets, so you have to suffer. I'm at the point where I will be moving on. If scrollable widgets come back, i'll probably come back to this launcher.

It's the devs decision on what to do, and you have the decision on if you want to use an older version, newer version, or drop the launcher. Tough call, but once you weigh your options you'll make your decision.
[Android Apps and Games] Proxyofss:
Can I please get the 2.8.8 apk?

Thanks

Edit : nvm... it's already there

nice launcher would be cool if the dock bar could be made hidden with gestures.

Using Zeam launcher for half a year now. You can't make everybody happy, so that's life. I miss the action shortcuts, so I would like to revert to 2.9.6 Where can I find it? Thank you in advance
[Android Apps and Games] lol Qaeda:
Two things I miss coming from GO Launcher EX are settings backup (minor importance) and operation customization (MAJOR importance) - specifically being able to open a specific app/run a specific action with a gesture. I'm used to swiping up to open my messaging but alas, not an option here.

This'll still be my launcher for the next few days/weeks; I'd just love seeing that one update. Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] serrum:
Thanks for Zeam Launcher

Very good launcher, fast and easy, please add:

It is what it its so I think it is time for you to switch for you. Dev couldn't be clearer so it is simple. Good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] GuestK00150:
hey cloakt!

thanks for this best android launcher! I`m experiencing a battery drain, send you a detailed PM about it!
[Android Apps and Games] Revin:
I just don't understand some of the requests. This is minimalistic launcher, so why bloat it with 3D app drawer, notifications etc.? Then, it will be same launcher like ADW launcher, Go launcher, Launcher Pro...

But I understand adding some features which will improve functionality, like turn on/off the dock, maybe removing home button from app drawer (I have button for that on phone, I don't need it...)

So please more options, less stupid animations, fancy transitions between screens etc.

But how it is now - great launcher!

And for those who complain that dev is not listening to them - it's free. Dev probably do this launcher to meet his needs and we are lucky that he is sharing it with us.
[Android Apps and Games] remizik:
I really love this launcher, but please please pleaaaaaaaaaaase :D

could you add this options ?

Export screens configuration (so we don't need to create all shortcuts again when we flash the rom, Titanium Backup is not really reliable)

Swype gesture from dock icons would be nice, but this is just a bonus request ;)

Thanks a lot in advance
[Android Apps and Games] Zeturl:
used more than half a year... such a speedy launcher is more than enough

everyone should remember ONE thing, if i were correct Zeam advantages is fast n require less resources... begin from the word "lightweight", for myself it perfectly match my requirements.

I've been using zeam on my galaxy tab model shw-m180w for a few months now but it doesn't actually appear in the market when I search for it or show when there is an update. Would you consider making it available for the tab via the market?

It would be easier if it was available in the market (for honeycomb/tablets). Until then, you can install the apk from the OP. I use Zeam on my Acer Iconia and Samsung Captivate.
[Android Apps and Games] shubu000:
I personally want the 3d drawer and I don't think it's bloating the launcher at all since the default gingerbread launcher has a 3d drawer.

But I do sympathise with users that wants to keep this launcher simple. But you never know maybe the dev can work his magic and add them without making it bloated :)

Just my 2cents
[Android Apps and Games] quickstang:
Actually decided to test Go Launcher EX & I think I have found a replacement. Seems to have everything I could ask for in a launcher. Works great & I have had no bugs whatsoever. Not only that they are constantly improving it.

I will miss Zeam Launcher, but such is life I guess. It didn't work with my needs & something else did. It was great while it lasted though.

For those who are looking to switch, I would suggest looking into Go Launcher EX.

Many will keep using Zeam as it progresses & others will move on for lack of what they want. At least we all have a choice.
[Android Apps and Games] johno168:

I tried it for quite a while, it just wasn't fluid enough as Launcher Pro and Zeam are for me. Seemed jerky when scrolling though home pages. I did like the app drawer immensely though.

I will try it again when I get a faster phone (Optimus V now, which is likely the issue).

[Android Apps and Games] obsidian_eclipse:
If you 'add to screen' and select 'add shortcut' you can add email/messaging/direct dial widgets from your phonebook and add them to the screen. I use them for people I message often.

You can also create folders and drag them into the folders should you wish. Tip, to rename a folder, open it up and tap the bar at the top. Normal widgets cannot be placed in folders, only shortcuts.

Wall Paper help needed

Hi, Please bare with me since I'm an Android noob. I'm running Zeam 2.8.8, which I LOVE :), on a rooted Nook Touch which runs Android 2.1. I have a custom picture I'd like to use as wall paper and it works fine on the home screen however when I move to another screen the paper is off center. If I use a stock wallpaper I don't have that problem. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks Ryan

I tried running Zeam as my default launcher on my Sensation. For some reason the screen updating is terribly slow and chugs like a computer with non-accelerated video drivers. I don't know if it's because Zeam isn't threaded or doesn't make use of the Sensation's dual core processor, but LauncherPro and GO Launcher EX work phenomenal with this device. I miss using Zeam. It is still my launcher of choice on my HD2 running tytung's NexusHD2 ROM. :)

Hi,

I'm running zeam as a perfect alternative to the stock launcher on a rooted HTC inc S on ARHD 1.1.2 ROM, in no-sense mode. Found a slight glitch, dunno if it is a bug or not. When restoring from an CWMR / 4ext backup (after reflashing between ARHD, CM7 or other tons, while restoring to ARHD running your launcher, I find double icons of most apps in the apps page. Doing a force-stop and restart of the launcher does the trick of showing correct apps. What seems to be the problem?

Feature request: can we have circle on-shortcut notifications for unread sms / calls or mail in the stock apps for HTC devices? Thank you. Great launcher & loving it. Went thru launcher pro, balance, go & finally stuck with zeam for CM7 and no-sense ARHD ROMs.
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
I found a weird glitch a few weeks ago, forgot about mentioning it here. The double-tap action bind... I would like to use it but can't because I have 2 different widgets, one is a 4x4 monthly Jorte calender, the other is a widget for Pocketcasts, both of which I find myself double tapping. Jorte uses a double tap to get to that widgets particular settings, the Pocket Casts Widget is no more than a pause, FF, RW widget and its common to tap either FF or RW in succession to navigate the podcasts.

Anyhow, Zeam sees no difference between me double tapping a widget or double tapping the home page to actually use the Zeam action bind. Is this normal?
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
I don't seem to have that glitch. I have my double tap set to open the app drawer. When I double tap my Jorte widget it opens the Jorte calendar (just like a single tap). Also I believe you can access a Jorte widget's settings if you click on the right corner of the widget.
[Android Apps and Games] rm9:

[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
IIRC to get to the widget's settings you tap twice on the right edge of the widget.

Crashes since version 3-ish?

I love zeam launcher but I have been experiencing more and more stability issues since around version 3, dunno exactly.

(1) Does anyone else here have a similar experience?

Zeam seems to be crashing and restarts itself every so often and right now its VERY often.

This may of course be due to some other stuff - mayhaps a reinstall is in order.

(2) I may be off base but I've got this feeling some larger changes (designwise- code) were made at some point. If there is some truth to this hunch:

Is there a version previous which would be advisable to use from a stability viewpoint, that I could try to compare with?

Like 2.9.1-ish or something? In the interest of trying to seek out the problem.

Again, love the work.

I wondered if I missed something, I wanted to use the sensor rotation but it does not obey the rules that are place on it by android itself. IE if you turn off rotation zeam still rotates... Any chance a link can be made between the two? Or am I being stupid and not realising an option exists for it.

And before I go Zeam is by far the best launcher I tried. I like the minimalism and just works attitude of it. Who needs loads of bells and whistles tbh!

1.4.0 could have been so nice. The 'tab' to open apps is ugly as heck and the quickbar icons are too small on a X10mini. Would it be possible to use the home button as a 'open and close appsmenu' the X10mini works like this by default , if you are at the homescreen it opens the apps.

If so then you could just put 4 quickbuttons at the bottom and get rid of the ugly tab. :cool:
