Really nice. I was looking for a launcher remplacement after changing screen density and ADW wasn't really working fine with it (application list there was almost the size of an icon between them) and yours just fit perfect

Edit: After some minutes using it the move to other screen action is quite hard and the "add items" menu would be nicer with some icons. And maybe an editable size between home screen widgets/icons (because with lcd density change application list is perfect but there are big spaces between icons and widgets on home screen

If you could an option to make application list look like LG Optimus

I can help you to translate it to french/spanish

Confused by Dock changes, other comments on 2.1.0

In the dock, if you delete all of the "App Tray" icons, how do you add one back?

Dock Scrolling. Seems the dock should act like the home screens, in that when scrolling, you shouldn't be able to stop an icon partway onto the screen. Allow long scrolls, but have it stop between icons.

It seems the Trash/"Drop to Uninstall" needs a bit longer delay (1.5-2.0 seconds?) before assuming the app is to be uninstalled. Because it is located above the Trash icon, it takes a second or so to be sure you drop to the right place.

Personally, I prefer the App Tray icon to stay in place, and have the other icons scroll. It would be better in the middle, but hard with the icon sizes (and spacing for six icons). Maybe it could be slightly above the row of icons in the dock? (where you have placed the Trash icon). Then the dock could scroll without the App Tray icon interfering.

Home Screen Redraw times. I know this is a problem with all the launchers I have tried (Stock, LauncherPro, Zeam, ADW) but solving this would be a big boost for any launcher developer. It seems the redraw time for 2.1.0 is longer than it was before - not a good thing.

Droid1, FroYo FRG22D, non-root.

Thanks for the great work!

I just downloaded the 2.1.0 update via the Market. After updating it the dock icons are gone. I reinstalled 2.0.1 with Titanium Backup and all is good. I then tried to uninstall 2.0.1 and do a fresh install of 2.1.0 with the same results. So, right now I'm back to 2.0.1.

Any suggestions?

Thanks...

Captivate

2.1

Edit: I forgot to mention that it would also FC the first time it was opened after the install (3 times).

Tried to add the action "Open Dialer" to my homescreen, now it force closes every time i'm on that screen! It's now unusable. To everyone, do not try to add that action.

Edit: the launcher only force closes if I touch the spot where I tried to add that action.

Inc with Froyo.
[Android Apps and Games] :
thanks :) if you want to add to the dock. add item to your desktop, then drag it in.

force close issues should be resolved in 2.1.1. if there are still issues, please do a clear data or clean install. apologies for this, just spent the last 7 hours fixing it :( there wont be these issues again now. i appreciate everyones feedback and suggestions. unfortunately i can only get to so much and still try and keep zeam as fast as possible..
[Android Apps and Games] Sledutah:
That did it.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] The_Law2:
Thanks, most force closes are fixed now. But my dock icons keep moving themselves around... much more usable now though, great work on this.

Really liking this launcher! very clean and snappy... Would love to see theme support in the feature :)

This launcher with the latest update is very smooth and works perfectly on nexus one. Thanks dev.

Was wondering if there is space for 7 icons on the launch bar, so the icon launching the app tray is centred.

After upgrading to 2.1.1 from 2.0.10, Zeam is totally broken for me. I can't add anything (launchers or widgets) and the dock bar is completely unpredictable. Had a couple of FCs, too.

I tried resetting to defaults, and clearing the app's data from the system settings. Neither helped.

Really impressed and happy with Zeam, but I'll go back to 2.0.10 and wait for a new version.

(HTC G1, Cyanogenmod 6.0.0)
[Android Apps and Games] mavermc:
Is there a website or roadmap you have for this? I couldn't find anything but this xda page, Just wanted to say the only thing that makes me struggle to pick this or luncher pro is the 5 rows on the homescreen, I have a droid x and i think having 4 rows make it look good, as well I love the resizing widgets but I could trade that in for how snappy this luncher is. keep up the great work, if you have a donation thing open up let me know
[Android Apps and Games] polarbee:
I love this launcher but with the latest update our doesn't seem to retain it's default status. After awhile, whenever I hit the home button my Captivate asks me what launcher I want to associate with that operation.
[Android Apps and Games] :
definitely not space for 7 items in the dock. what about putting 5 items on either side of the apps button then its always on the screen :cool:

that doesn't really make sense that you cant add widgets even? i know the dockbar brokenness, however everything is actually functionally working better now. if you still don't come right try a clean install of zeam. i know it is the least elegant solution.

i can guarantee it retains its 'default' setting... it could have lost it if you installed another launcher or anything home related i guess. it is hard to say, but it shouldn't happen.

as always, thanks for all the positive feedback :) 2.1.2 released...
[Android Apps and Games] ksticher:
I cant add anything to the doc bar either. I love this thing, but I will go back because I cant personalize the doc bar. HTC Incredible
[Android Apps and Games] :
how are you trying to add to the dock? you cannot drop items into the middle section of the dock as that is for the delete zone. is your dock empty?
[Android Apps and Games] ksticher:
Yes, and I am trying to add them to the left or right of the delete icon. The icon turns red when you are moving something to it, but it does not turn red when I try to add something else. What happens is, it just doesnt add it. The bar is not empty. When I try to delete the icons that are on there that I do not want, a new one pops up (adds itself) or the button for all the application shows up 3 or 4 times across the bar.
[Android Apps and Games] ksticher:
After reading that post it didnt make much sense...

So after loading the new version, the launcher bar at the bottom was already filled with icons. Icons that I did not want. When I tried to delete the icons, another one would show up in its place. Eventually I had the icon that shows all the applications on the launcher bar there 3 times.

When trying to add a new icon to the launcher bar, I would try to add it to the side of the trash can. Since the trash can is in the middle and turns red when something was added, I validated that it was not red when I stopped pressing on the screen. The icon would not show up on the launcher bar and disappeared from the screen.

I would add the shortcut to the screen first, then try to move it to the launcher bar.

Hopefully this makes a little more sense.
[Android Apps and Games] dkelley:
just updating to 2.1.2, 2.1.1 works brilliantly for me fwiw.

I love this launcher. right now it's between zeam and home++ for me.

now if you could just implement one or two nice features that home++ has such as looping through home screens (screen 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 etc and reverse) and (dreaming here, I know) a built in power strip in your dock.... well I'd never look at another launcher again.

But even without those extra features Zeam is the lightest launcher I've got that is still sexy. loving it :-)
[Android Apps and Games] ksticher:
I love the app, just the update doesnt work correctly for me... I am using the older version still.
[Android Apps and Games] gotshores:
wow

I tried seam when it first came out on my ego, but after a while I noticed some lag. I just tried it again and I'm loving it. This is just as responsive as sense. The problem I had with launcher pro and adw is they weren't as responsive to touch. I liked launcherpro, loved adw, but I'm really digging seam for how light and simple it is. Great job dev!
[Android Apps and Games] gotshores:
Stupid auto correct made zeam into seam, sorry
[Android Apps and Games] gotshores:
resizable widgets

If u end up doing resizable widgets, please do it like launcher pro and not adw. Adw makes u re-add the widget if you want to change the size, launcher pro let's you change it just by long pressing on the widget and dragging. Even without resizable widgets, zeam is the best.
[Android Apps and Games] dkelley:
ah yes, but only if you pay for it... my one annoyance wtih launcher pro's dev, who is otherwise seemingly a really good guy, is that he put in an intentionally crippled, fake, demo version of a feature that we all accidentally trigger ALL THE BLOODY TIME only to have an annoying alert pop up telling us to pay for it if we want that features. That setup is a big mistake if you ask me. Either put the feature in or leave it out of the free version. the paid version's widgets are plenty good enough to make users pay for it. crippling a feature that gets triggered any time you logn press on a widget is just poor judgement.

Ok, I'm off my soap box now.

Zeam ROCKS!
[Android Apps and Games] DigitalDreamer:
Hello. Sorry for asking, but is there a way to replace the stock launcher application with this one (like a flashable zip or something)?

Dock App Launcher

Please make the app launcher stationary like it was before, just give us an option for the right side or left side of the dock.

You don't have to do everything like LP! Be unique!

Thanks,

[Android Apps and Games] addoyle:
Great launcher and definitely seems more stable than Launcher pro. Only comment would be that I like only the 5 icons on the dock, the minimalist look. If you delete an icon could they spread so the app drawer icon is in the middle?
[Android Apps and Games] ericizzy1:
all i can say is WOW
[Android Apps and Games] darthlukan:
I said it on twitter and I'm saying it here, you're a beast, dev! I'm currently using g1 dream 32a with the latest sparksmod + oc kernel. This launcher is great! I hope rom devs see your work and implement your launcher into their roms.

One feature that I would like to see, if it's even possible, is to be able to bind more buttons to actions ( home button, back button, etc) via the launcher menu. That's just a feature request and a non-deal breaker so far as the continued use of your launcher. Awesome work!
[Android Apps and Games] :
considering my options with the apps button :rolleyes:

:D

thanks :) it helps when people appreciate my work instead of just trying to compare all the time lol. there is an action binding for the home button? the back button isnt a bad idea though...

as always, thanks all for the support and feedback :) 2.2.0 released...
[Android Apps and Games] nicox45:
WOW!! awesome work! zeam is great!... hey I found a glitch, when you have a contact shortcut in the homescreen , after clicking it, the pop up bubble doesn't appear in the right position, it appears in the top of the screen... it should appear next to the contact... well it's just a comment :D ... nice work!!
[Android Apps and Games] gdodinet:
Hi, cloakt!

Thanks for this very good launcher. I've tried a few other ones and always came back to zeam : that thing flies, and i really like the fullscreen option.

I agree with darthlukan : it would be great to see custom roms featuring zeam by default. Right now i'm using the bare maclite, bundled with htc sense and it comes with a bunch of htc widgets i don't need/want at all.

Concerning zeam, it would be nice to be able to declare a couple of dock items as fixed (preventing them to scroll). Also an option to save the current configuration would be wonderful (so it can be restored later, of course :).

Last, i tried the scrollable stocks widget (*) and it doesn't seem to work with zeam (it does with launcher pro, and, supposedly, with adw). I made sure to enable "use scrollable widgets" in the preferences, and restarted zeam -- without any luck.

Thanks for your great work!

hi Everyone

this is my first post Ive loved this launcher since it came out on 1.6 now im rooted and loving it even more now could we see custom docks in the future of this id really like to see that in Zeam willing to switch from launcher pro forever.:)
[Android Apps and Games] treesurf:
Just now trying this launcher, and I must say it seems lighter and quicker than LauncherPro. I'm liking it quite a bit. Thanks for making it freely available.

My only request would be a little bit of dock customization, especially the number of items displayed on the dock. Currently it is stuck at 6, but I would much prefer an odd number such as 5, so that one of the items is perfectly centered. I like to have my app drawer icon right in the middle of the dock. :)
[Android Apps and Games] henreeg:
hey cloakt,

my sis in law just got a moto cliq xt... and I found Zeam. She couldn't use any other launcher but this one was awesome for her phone. FCed on me like 2 times, but it didn't lag or stopped working. I just clicked "Wait" and didn't Force Close.

Question is... have you heard anything about Zeam messing phones? A day after I installed it, her phone wouldn't boot up [brand new too!].

I'm suspicious that it was the phone itself... the rep opened the box and the touch screen didn't work. I just want to know [or if anyone else] if this has happened to anyone on the Moto Cliq XT?
[Android Apps and Games] EbiEre:
Hey,

heard about Zeam today the first time. So i decided to download and check out whats going on :)

I use a HTC Hero with Cronos Rom 2.2 OC 672mhz.

Its looking good, screen switching is fast and without any lags.

But as in adw and launcher pro, one thing is annoying: The scrolling in the App List is a little laggy.

I don't know much about writing such an app, so i would like to know why scrolling in the app list is that laggy?

Ah, btw, i have installed about 90 Apps.

My thought were that it maybe is related to the scorlling itself, so what would happen if you wouldn't let it scroll through all apps. Instead of that you could arrange the Apps like the Homescreens, so if you scroll, just the whole page goes down!? Hope you understand what i mean ;)

Don't know if that would help to get it scroll lagfree on older devices. Like i say i have no idea about developing, it's just an idea :)

So far i like your App, will check it out the next time.

Thx :)
[Android Apps and Games] iSaiya:
thanks for your sharing~~
[Android Apps and Games] knowah:
I've been a huge fan of this, using it ever since I found it on my HTC Hero.

I would like to offer a suggestion about the dock: Make it where you can 'lock' the location of 1 of the icons. I would like to have my app drawer icon stay in one position while the other icons scroll. Similar to the way it was before the previous update.

I understand some may like the new function, but I was wondering if we could have a toggle of some sorts.

Maybe there already is, but I have plundered the settings and must be missing it if so.
[Android Apps and Games] treesurf:
After a couple days of using Zeam I have noticed a problem. Over time there is a lag that develops when backing out of an application to the homescreen. After 24 hours of using Zeam this lag is about 4-5sec, occasionally longer. If I reboot, or restart Zeam, this lag dissappears, but slowly builds back up again. Launching apps is still snappy, it's just when I hit the back key to exit to the home screen that I get this "pause". This is on an HTC Hero using the FroydVillain 1.5 ROM.

Otherwise, I really like Zeam a lot. But this issue has me switching back to LauncherPro for the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] ratchet789:
slow sms

Ive come across this issue twice with zeam as my home launcher. the bug is when i send out sms/texs my contacts would receive them hours after i sent them and they were being sent in bulk my girl friend said i sent one message 17 time when Ive sent it once. im using a 32b mytouch running CM 6 stable. i would like you to look into this issue if you wouldn't mind i really like this launcher but till this issue is fixed i cant use it no more. so long ZEAM.
[Android Apps and Games] :
you are blaming zeam for smss being delivered in bulk hours later? :eek: zeam is a launcher and is completely separated from the messaging API. how about check your network? or your sms client?

zeam is software that runs purely on the android firmware and does not touch anything hardware related nor does it do anything funny, so the simple answer is: no it was not caused by zeam.

thank you everyone for the support, 2.2.1 released ;)

Just read this on the first post: "Zeam Launcher 2.2.1 (requires Android 2.x or higher)"

Motorola Cliq xt runs Android 1.5

After returning her phone back and getting a new one, I installed Zeam again. Her phone ran out of battery and it was a mission to get it back up again. I had to do a full reset. I guess it was my fault that I didn't read your first post. It's a shame the Cliq XT has a 1.5 firmware, she really likes Zeam [as well as my gf and I]. Thanks for your reply though! I'm lovin Zeam. You got supporters here in Miami!
[Android Apps and Games] f_padia:
Hi, I just recently switched to zeam from adw. so far its been very good. I like its simplicity. I have a feature request though :D

I was looking at the webOS of palm the other day and I really like the multi-tasking interace. Would it be possible to implement that kind of thing on Android?

I know visual task switcher is available on the market but I thought itd be nicer if it was built into the home launcher so there is one less task running in the bg. plus I think the interface of visual task switcher isnt very good.

It could work by long pressing home key for example and thumbnails of running apps would pop up (similar to the preview of homescreens).

Just a thought...

p.s. here is an image of webos's implementation of 'cards' multi-tasking in case you dont know what im talking about
[Android Apps and Games] dkelley:
+1 - that is the best feature os palm's webos, and it's an excellent feature for sure. I hate that in android there isn't an actual task switcher, just a "most recently opened" launcher (long home press) feature which is slow to get to and not actual running processes.

technically since android sleeps any (properly coded) apps other than front one it should be the same result, but it's not - actual apps in memory launch much faster than those which have actually quit, but in the android long-press-home stock method there's no differentiation.

I'd love somethign like that - but even if it wasn't all animated and screen-shotty like in webos, at least a quick list of the actual running apps that can be brought up in a quick keypress (an icon in the dock or such), shows running app (not bg processes, actual apps), quick tap on app to make current main running app, long press on app to bring up context menu which would have kill option...

I'd love zeam even more if you added that. ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] gdodinet:
Distinguishing background processes from "actual" applications might be tricky, so I don't know if that's exactly what you're looking for but i tried today "ks launcher" that does exactly that: a long press on the search key (htc desire) and here come the running apps!

Like QuickDesk, it is a homescreen collaborative app. However it is quite different in its intention. It shows running services, running apps, all apps and you also can create your own label (two at most in the free version).

A long press on an app item and you can view the application details (thus you can force close the application), a quick tap and you switch to the application. From what i understand that pretty matches your requirements.

[Android Apps and Games] f_padia:
I think you both missed the point I was trying to make. There are indeed apps available for what I was suggesting (and dkelley like the idea of) as you both pointed out. There is even visual task switcher as I said in my original post but.... each of these is another app to run in the background. The whole idea was to integrate the task switching thing into the home launcher so as to reduce the number of apps running at once...

but i will try your suggestions to see how they are
[Android Apps and Games] gdodinet:
Indeed i may have missed your point. However even if not directly integrated into the home launcher those apps can be launched quickly by pressing a button allowing to control running applications -- from what i understood that was dkelley's need.

Also, i'm not sure they are running in the background, rather they are sleeping in the background, thus consuming almost no cpu - and very little battery (i don't know how they behave memory-wise though).

Last, a little comparison: I've tried both multi task manager (MTM) and visual task switcher (VTS). VTS seems quite heavy compared to MTM and KS Launcher (KL) - MTM and KL are pretty reactive and lightweight. Beside, I was unable to launch VTS as a regular app - not sure why. Finally VTS doesn't seem accurate: MTM and KL show the same information (i'm only considering running apps here), while VTS only shows a subset of the running apps (for instance it didn't show gmail nor dialerone - perhaps that was just a configuration issue: i didn't invest much).

Still, whatever fits your need :)
