Elegant!

Cloakt,

Although I'm quite certain what I'm about to write is not needed, I'm also certain it will not hurt.

Please keep yourself from following the siren songs asking for everything plus the kitchen sink! Remember that Google got where it got in part by keeping deceptively simple ("deceptively" being the operative concept here).

You have created a clean and (apparently) simple fff launcher. The launcher should be (in my modest, but informed opinion) a paragon of functionality. Tags should be readable, transitions should be snappy, if an effect doesn't add funcionality, it shouldn't be there. Layers of complexity might have a place, but out of the way, findeable by those who may look for them.

I would very much like it if the bearing you kept was one of definition, refinement, and tuning of this truly elegant piece of code.

Remember: flashy launchers are a dime a dozen...

Congratulation, thanks, and keep up the good work!

Mail icon unread counter

Is any one else having this issue where the mail icon does not update the number of unread emails?

I can delete the mail icon then re-add and the counter will be correct but then I go in and read my email and exit, the unread counter still displays the number of unread email just before I went in and read them.

I did a search on this thread and could find anything re: this.

Thanks!

As said by AdamG, today is a sad day.

However, everyone here should understand your decision and thank you for the very good software which is Zeam and thank you for all your efforts bringing this to the community.

Hehe. Yeah you can cheat a little. I play with Android-x86 from time to time, and it doesn't have gapps with it. I just download what ever app I want on there to my phone and use AppMonster to backup my apps to /sdcard/appmanager then copy the apks to the Android-x86 machine. Copying apks doesn't guarantee they will work. Some apps depend on Google services provided by gapps. Good luck.

Zeam was the best launcher, in my opinion. Lightweight, stable, clean. Frequently updated, with nice new options. Good support.

Cloakt; thanks for all you gave us.

Zeam is still and will remain for a while a very good launcher that can still be used for a time.

By the way, thanks a lot cloakt, your launcher is just amazing.

I love your launcher !! Tiny, quick and powerful !!!

Love the launcher,

A request.

Could you please add counters for email(s), sms. I love the full screen mode but there's no way to know if i got a text message besides listening for the tone.
[Android Apps and Games] toddthetoad:
Great launcher!

A few requests:

-Notifications on dock icons (gmail unread count, etc). I think the post above said the same thing

-Ability to turn off "pinch to screen preview".

Otherwise, I love it. Thanks

Bummer. I guess I'm too late. Just found this. I just would like a scrollable dock and a save /restore feature.
[Android Apps and Games] daftlush:
Apps have unique icons, but folders just look like folders

Is it possible code so that we can hide app labels but not folder labels. (I'm thinking not.)

If Android treats folders and apps the same (like OSx) maybe you can add the option to toggle labels on and off individually.
[Android Apps and Games] lanwin:
This is a very good and fast launcher for my Archos 10.1 works great and i love it.

But there is a rendering issue on all Archos devices (i expect it too for all devices which have and soft key menu instead of hardware buttons).

The soft key menu is on the right side and some pixels wide. Every time it turn my device on, Zeam is moved out of the screen on the left side with exactly that width.

I assume that the launcher is started before that menu so that Zeam uses the full screen with for its calculation.

Anything you can do about that?
[Android Apps and Games] The_Zodiac:
love this launcher the only hting i would like, is when you hold down an app and go to delete it please instead of atiny easy to miss trashcan, make it so that the whole dock becomes a trash can.
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
Guys, if you read a few pages back, you will see that cloakt (the dev) has decided to ceasse devving this launcher for the time being.

Therefore, I don't think there's much to gain in feature requests :)

Thanks cloakt for the launcher, its still my favourite :)
[Android Apps and Games] phranzee:
Nice launcher.

How can I remove the home icon from apps grid?
[Android Apps and Games] azarro_cz:
Hi all,

I really love this launcher. It is the best I´ve tried so far :-)

However there´s one thing which gets on my nerves a bit - When I open an app from the application drawer and then close it using the Back button, the application closes together with the application drawer. This doesn´t happen with other launchers (e.g. TouchWiz3 launcher).

Is there a way to configure Zeam not to close the application drawer, when I close an app? Or is it a bug/feature?

I´m running Darkyy´s v8 ROM on Samsung Galaxy S

Thanks,

azarro_cz
[Android Apps and Games] d_1000:
+1:D:D:D:D I think something needs to be posted in the OP that no further development is forthcoming on Zeam.
[Android Apps and Games] vxbinaca:
Zeam is awesome, theres just one major problem:

I have to move/remove the ADWlauncher APK file from my CM6 so it'll stop running on my G1, so I can finally gain the RAM it was taking up. I use a home switching app to

When I reboot after the switch, my phone won't boot, forcing me to flatten it and start over.
[Android Apps and Games] Judim:
Maybe you should move zeam.apk to system/app, then delete adw.apk from this folder.

It is what I do and it works very well. I use Root Explorer to do that.
[Android Apps and Games] vxbinaca:
That worked. Why does it put the apk in /mnt and not /system/app? That would make my life easier.
[Android Apps and Games] RubiconX:

[Android Apps and Games] ExploreMN:
Just a bug post I guess.

Installed Zeam on my Archos 101 and it seems to have some bugs. First, when the home screen initially starts, icons are slightly shifted to the left. Moving the screen left and right fixes that, but still.

Also, Pocket Cloud works just fine on the default launcher, but through Zeam it force closes.

Anyway, since I need Pocket Cloud I had to uninstall, but I thought you would want to know about these issues for further development.
[Android Apps and Games] melorib:
Changing the spacing doesnt change the size of the icons, I also would like the icons to be the same size as on the screens...
[Android Apps and Games] Mockingb:
zeam rocks

I'm on an archos 101 and have to say zeam made it much more responsive. it's too bad it's not being developed anymore.

I plan to install it on the htc thunderbolt when it comes out. :-)

super speedy. :-)

except, I'm still having trouble finding the latest version (2.8.7?).. running an older version, and none of the links, marketplace seem to have it. appsbrain finds it, but their redirect to marketplace says app not found.

any website I could grab this off of?
[Android Apps and Games] naenee:
Zeam Launcher is in the Marketplace for me and to make sure - I've downloaded and installed 2.8.7 from there a moment ago.
[Android Apps and Games] tomservonimus:
Love this app! It's amazingly great, quick and spiffy. The only reason I won't use it however, is that I cannot add/find my samsung widgets on my galaxy s of love. I needs me my power monitor. Other than that, it is my favorite launcher out there.
[Android Apps and Games] skymera:
I'm sure they wont work on any other launcher such as LauncherPro either.

They are most likely dependent on the Samsung framework much like HTC Sense widgets are dependent on the Sense framework.
[Android Apps and Games] MrBusiness:
This is 100 percent correct. They are only available with Touchwiz Launcher

[Android Apps and Games] embrion:
I've noticed one bug and have one feature request.

Bug: dockbar icons order seems to reset from time to time with some icons moved to the left while others stay in correct position.

Feature request: option to make dockbar scrolling like in Launcher Pro (scrolling by icon groups so I scroll by 4 icons nut by 1). It would help to keep app drawer icon in center like I and probably many ppl like.

[Android Apps and Games] M..N:
Do you think support for animated widgets could be added?
[Android Apps and Games] anheuer:
Love it!

Things i found though are,

- Graphics are not as crisp as original.

- no live wallpapers

- no screen orientation.

I assume these are not new, but the one that is annoying is!

- it force closes often when i get an sms and sms popup appears in the screen.

At first i thought it was because of the screen orientation.

But i set sms popup to always stay in portrait mode,

and i still have a FC every now and then.

Edit...

Also i noticed that when i unlock the screen, the background shifts slightly.

Seems the background for the unlock screen and for zeam are not 100% in the same location.

Moto Milestone.
[Android Apps and Games] :
thanks for the positive feedback. landscape mode and lwp are in the pipeline of course. then i can work on the handcent issue. the not as crisp is because i am trying to keep zeam backward compatible to 1.5 so higher density screens seem a bit blurry, but i am looking into it. as far as that background issue goes, htc sense actually draws the background 5 pixels out lol. when i put fullscreen mode in i decided im not going to put in a check for htc sense so i can shift the wallpaper by 5 pixels, rather zeam be correct. dont think its too big of an issue
[Android Apps and Games] anheuer:
Thanks for the fast reply...

The graphics i dont mind so much.

If it means that it will keep the speed thats its has right now,

Then i am more then happy to live with this..

I'm not using handcent but using smspopup

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.net-everythingandroid-smspopup-zmA.aspx

Just tested it with full screen mode.

seems that it doesn't shift when its on full screen mode.

only when i don't use full screen mode..

just didn't understand the sense part you wrote, because i don't have sense ui on my phone.. only standard google experience.

But.. like you said, its not an issue..

just wanted to mention it :)

Rather have the FC and orientation update :)

Thanks again!

Really good app, just few suggestions

1) Let it to remember scroll position in apps (why ony HTC think abt such usefull features... )

2) Make screens movement more sensitive (now it require to move finger abt 2/3 on screeen to scroll)

I added a widget item (apps organizer - starred folder), it added to my 2nd screen and I can't seem to move it from the centre of my screen whch is setup 4x4, it just jumps back after moving. When I drag it to the bin it does not delete either. How can I remove/move it?

I have the sype down action set to do nothing as opposed to open application or whatever. Sype down with sense use to drop down my notifications. How can I access my notifications now?

[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
You might be better off resetting (clearing the cache). What happens when you tap the notification bar (very top). If the date fades in, you should be able to swipe the notification bar down (I would think). Unless you are hiding the notification bar and in that case, just tap your menu key and drag the notification bar down.
