zeam and kies

Actually two questions:

Zeam seems to prevent the galaxy tab to connect with kies. How to go around that problem. ow I have to close zeam in order to connect to kies.

Second.

Earlier when hitting home button a pop up window asked if I want standard tab home screen or zeam. after ticking perform this every time and choosing zeam I always get zeam. how to get back to that asking and choosing option.

[Android Apps and Games] naenee:
Oki. Then I wonder who all these people are reporting bugs to :)

I have moved to a different launcher, as I prefer known active developement to not knowing whether a dev is still maintaining a product.
[Android Apps and Games] bobber0001:
How did this go? I would love to see this for the standard menu. It is so annoying to have to go all the way back if you're on page 5 and need something on page 1, when really it ought to just be a single scroll!

Hey,

Love this launcher.. Any chance of getting it open sourced? or do you need help with it?

Found it a while ago and love it, stopped by to see if there was anything new and its says no longer under development :(
[Android Apps and Games] archosale:
I have been using Zeam for a while now. I can see a big difference of speed on my Archos 10.1 tablet, it just faster than any other luncher I tried. Love it.

On my droid 2 though, not much a big difference speed wise, but I really prefer the simplicity of the luncher. Keep up the good work and welcome back.
[Android Apps and Games] semakof:
This Zeam Launcher is the best. I have tried some few ones but this is still the fastest. It loads quickly on my SGS Froyo. Anytime i reboot, it loads the apps quickly. the speed is fantastic. Thumbs up for you guys.
[Android Apps and Games] longlife_01:
hey everyone, i heard recently about this launcher, and just realized on the first page that its not being developped anymore... has this project been open sourced? is anyone picking this up? would love to use it but don't want smthg that wont be updated, even if it's slow like, every couple month at least...
[Android Apps and Games] stepsch:
Maybe it's not needed to renew again and again. Just right now it works with several ROM, it's smooth and pretty well made, not overloaded and handsome to configure. Hopefully it will work with future ROM too.

It's still worth a try.
[Android Apps and Games] melorib:
AGREE... :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
having used LauncherPro Plus for a long time, i appreciate the simplicity and light weight of Zeam and i will be using the current version for a long time to come. i just wish the dev could find it in his heart to fix the one little dock bug before he moves on with his life (but i wish him the best either way).

dock bug: after scrolling the dock all the way to the end (i have 15 apps on there), i have to press on the app i want two times since the first press doesn't do anything. this is reproduceable, and i noticed a comment in the market about this too. other than this, it's perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] Icedvoco:
Just got my VS gtab and found this thread, heard good things, but it would seem the barcode no longer directs to the product on the market anymore, any ideas where one would be able to get it from, seeing as it was free, it should not be classified as wares i would think ?
[Android Apps and Games] stepsch:
Mysterious... just tested: it's still available in market. The QR is working for me.
[Android Apps and Games] stepsch:
Mh... normally in my dock there are only 5-6 apps to have fast access. When i would have to scroll thru the dock because there are plenty more apps it would be same as setting the shortcuts to an own workspace screen or...?

The way I do:

for fastest access: 5-6 most important apps (almost communication) in the dock

start screen: all the live info i wanna have (clock, weather,...)

second screen: all the shortcuts where I wanna have fast (not fastest) access

additional screens by topic (like all multimedia or navigation apps and so on)

Fast access to special screen page by doubleclicking to raise the screen overview.
[Android Apps and Games] naenee:
Fixing bugs is necessary for any product though and updating when necessary is in no way the same as updating for the sake of updating.
[Android Apps and Games] stepsch:
Depends on "what is a bug" and "is it an important feature that isn't working".

So, at my point of view it's not a bug, just a feature that is not working in the way some would like to have. If it is important for you: feel free not to use or correct it by youself (as I understood the developer won't do it anymore) - if you are able to.

Anyway, it's for free, made by hobby. I would never complain such free tool has to be free of bugs. The whole things in this forum is like still under construction.

We are using so much stuff - show me something that's bug free. The car isn't, the TV isn't. But we are still using that. And paid a lot for.

So, my thanks and respect to Cloakt. As long as it works in the actual way I will keep it. Also respecting that life and/or interests might change. You made my life with Android a lil bit easier. Won't interest the world at all but it's nice to have.

Good luck!

[Android Apps and Games] Ryukenden:
Couldn't agree more, the launcher works really smooth, got it on my Xperia X8 and it really works great...

Would like to see someone continue the project...
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
thanks for the tips, i appreciate it. i know i'll be sticking with Zeam for a long time to come because, like i said, it's almost perfect. maybe the answer for me is just to rethink how i use it.
[Android Apps and Games] melorib:
I found a replacement, GO Launcher...

I tried it before and dindt like, maybe didnt spend time enough, but it was improved, so I cooked a Doc's ROM with it...

It does everything I used in Zeam...

Negatives: it is akward to fill the dock and home screens, but its not something you have to do all the time...

Positives: scrolling home screens is smoother, and screen colours are nicer, Zeam made my phone colours a bit pale, dont ask me why...
[Android Apps and Games] chickenscanfly:
same here.. it's like the only thing bothering me about Zeam. love everything else esp the size.
[Android Apps and Games] SalsaForte:

What does Zeam dock do that GO doesnt ???
[Android Apps and Games] rohit275:
I want to make this the default and only launcher on my G1 running CM6.1 (so obviously I need to push the .apk to /system/app to replace ADW).

However, i can't find the .apk for Zeam in /data/app for the life of me...is there another place that this thing is stored? Has anyone ever done this before?

EDIT: Silly me, I forgot I installed it to the SD Card extension, I got it now :)
[Android Apps and Games] Deadly Cyclone:
Is there any way to change icon images in the dock? That is the only thing keeping me from using Zeam.
[Android Apps and Games] melorib:
Just drag them out and in...
[Android Apps and Games] Deadly Cyclone:
Meaning what? You cannot change the icon even when it is on the desktop area. In other launchers you merely long press on an app (e.g. Firefox) and a menu pops up with a change icon image option.

I guess I could change them all with Desktop Visualizer and drop them into the dock maybe.
[Android Apps and Games] dony71:

when you make a folder for your home page, it is just a picture of a folder. Any way to change that to another icon?

With GO launcher you can do that... :rolleyes:

Bug with Zeam 2.8.7

Hi there,

I've encountered a Bug with the Version 2.8.7 of Zeam.

The Widgets don't get painted in full width after using several Applications and returning to the Homescreen (there is a little gap on the left side of the Screen). You have to restart Zeam to get them painted correctly until the Bug occurs the next time.

I'm using a Motorola Defy with Android 2.1. I'm using the Widgets: Simi Clock, Winamp, Widgetsoid, Smooth calendar.

Has somebody else encountered this Problem?

Maybe it has something to do with the Motorola Screen Resolution of 480x854 instead of the default 480x800?
[Android Apps and Games] skg22086:
i'm gettting the same problem.. widgets are not centered.. they are slightly aligned to the right side..

[Android Apps and Games] v941726:
hate to say it but go launcher ex is zeam but better
[Android Apps and Games] re.st:
Autofit doesn't help. Has Cloakt released the Sources?

There are only two bugs which need to be fixed to make Zeam the best Launcher ever: This Widget draw Bug and the Bug of self rearranging Dock Icons.

I'm not sure if i should go with "go launcher ex" or with "laucher pro" or should i buy "ADW Laucher Ex". Zeam was so lightweight. I love it.

which launcher would you choose?
[Android Apps and Games] naenee:
I went with ADW Launcher EX. I did like the Recent feature of Go Launcher, but it was noticably slower. As an advantage, it (ADW) does have the ability to lock screens, which is a good way to prevent accidental shortcut (re)moving :)
[Android Apps and Games] ock:
Happens on ADW Ex too for me, in my case it was the layout of the buttons in Music Player Pro's widget. Don't think it's related to Zeam Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] boardtc:
Camera shortcut?

On my htc legend running 2.2, there are limited apps under add items | shortcut. How can I add a shortcut for the camera among others?
[Android Apps and Games] v941726:
Go launcher ex is like an updated zeam. It's free and lightweight. Try it. You'll see
[Android Apps and Games] hachoo:
With themes, I think it's not as lightweight, though GoLauncher itself is very responsive and a good alternative.
[Android Apps and Games] jesssiii:
FWIW, just wanted to say someone over at the CM7 thread turned me on to this a few days ago and I'm loving it! Was a hard-core LauncherPro fan but this has all the nice, minus all the bloat.

If the dev reads this still, THANKS!

PS- Hate ADW, tried Go (use it for SMS but launcher, meh).

Someone needs to take over this launcher if it is going to be abandoned.
[Android Apps and Games] skg22086:
anyone know how to get the reflecting dock effect on Zeam onto launcher pro..
[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
You can move icons around freely - can't do that in GO, you have to change the shortcut to put it in other place (unless I'm missing something).

The scrolling is quite different - you can scroll and stop in whatever place you want, in GO you scroll by lines, which means if you have more than five icons, and you want to see for instance the 6th one in a row you'll jump to the second line. I prefer zeam's way.

You can set the items alignment and spacing.

Zeam doesn't have dock gestures and that's the main difference I guess. Another one is the possibility to change the icon, but that's not much of a problem if you can use Desktop Visualizer and then just drag any shortcut from the screen right to the dock (which, by the way, you cannot do in GO). Also, this option in GO will be not very useful until the problem with pixelated custom icons is fixed - using DV here is still necessary.

So I understand GeobMcFly when he says he prefers Zeam's dock "behavior".

(I'm comparing to GO Launcher EX)
[Android Apps and Games] wipeout140:
Thanks for the great launcher, replaced ADW as the system launcher for my HTC Magic

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] enotar:
Great launcher, too bad dev stop!

One question: why is there such a big space diference between landscape and portait between icons in "applications"?

Portaitt space between icons is fine but in landscape space is too big and cannot be adjusted

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] bteljuice:
How can I try this. No link for download
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Sorry, as per the first post, you will have to download it from the market :enter sad face of choice here:

Either that or wait till someone uploads the apk here... ;) :D
[Android Apps and Games] superc0w:
I just downloaded zeam launcher 2.8.7, and am using it with a rom from the rom kitchen on my SGS. It's looking great so far, but seems to have a rather weird problem.

It seems that I can't change preferences anymore. After a reboot or simply a restart of the launcher, I get thrown back to an older set of preferences. I've tried removing the app data, uninstalling, then reinstalling the app, but it seems that the settings just gets "stuck" at some random point, beyond which i can't change them anymore.

Also, the app arrangement on the dock is reset to an specific order I don't recognize on reboot/restart. All apps are there, just not in the order I set them to earlier.

Does anyone else have this problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] daante122:
thanks! to prove is that

Keep Zeam going!

I hope the dev reconsiders and keeps zeam going... it's by far my favourite launcher... lean and mean with just the right amount of features... if there are feature requests being taken (if the Michael reconsiders updating this), my only suggestion would be to allow for an import/export settings feature for those times we may have to wipe our systems (or reinstall just zeam) and easily get back to where we were before...
[Android Apps and Games] superc0w:
Ok, so i'm not the only one facing this problem. Shame, it's a very nice and minimal launcher but this breaks it for me. Guess i'll have to go to another launcher until the dev comes back and fixes this.
[Android Apps and Games] GeobMcFly:
try delete /data/data/org.zeam
[Android Apps and Games] Jayziac:
Just wondering how much memory Zeam uses compared to the default Froyo Launcher, or LauncherPro? My device only has 256MB total RAM so every MB counts. I use Android Assistant app and in the processes tab, it says Zeam uses about 4 MB RAM, and Launcher uses about 4 MB RAM. When I switch to the default Froyo launcher, it just shows Launcher using 4 MB RAM. Does this mean Zeam uses an additional 4MB compared to default launcher or is it sharing some of that?

Plus I tried killing the launcher process when using Zeam, but it keeps coming back up again even though it's not the active launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] naenee:
I was wondering - before you made the decision to manually manage your running processes as opposed to having the system manage them, did you run into problems directly, and without any doubt, caused by not having enough RAM?
[Android Apps and Games] Jayziac:
I don't manually manage the processes, just was using Android Assistant recently to see what's going on. I do notice some apps get swapped out of memory if I'm switching apps often, which lead me down this path. Just wanted more concrete measurable data to explain the swapping.
[Android Apps and Games] naenee:
Okidoki. I was just curious as to your reasoning :) Knowing why something happens is indeed not the same as controlling that behaviour.

Sad about the dev stopped.someone should go on with the project.by far It's the best launcher for my wildfire.thanks
[Android Apps and Games] AngrySwede:
I would be happy to pay for this launcher if the development continued. This is the only launcher I think work for my on my Galaxy Tab. It's pure awesomeness.
[Android Apps and Games] R^7Z:
I'm not 100% on this but I would think if there were any brave and capable devs out there that would like to continue this project, all that would be required would be a friendly PM to the dev of this launcher... ;) :D

Heck, if I knew how and had the time, I'd invest a little bit just to keep the progress of this project going! :)
[Android Apps and Games] hammondnav:
Same here. This launcher is well worth paying for. I really hope the dev reconsiders and continues updating. This is by far the best launcher available IMHO.
[Android Apps and Games] hehe13:

[Android Apps and Games] spork27:
The only thing I use that's missing in Zeam is the ability to hide specific apps in the App Drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] Jayziac:
Should at least fix a major remaining bug if stopping development. The dock icons rearrange themselves to a set pattern after every restart, even if I try to put it in a new arrangement. Somehow it's determined to go back to its way, not sure if there's a workaround (tried rearranging twice, thinking it went to the 2nd previous setting).

Customising icons on the dockbar in Zeam

Customising icons on the dockbar in Zeam

You can't drag the customised icon via Desktop Visualiser. I've tried. ;)

I discovered the trick when looking through the thread about homescreens. You need to use Apps Organizer, which is available free in the market. You can have a customised icon for each folder, so I create a folder of just one app for each dock icon. In the home screen, choose Add item>Shortcut (not Widget)>Apps Organizer and select the folder. The customised icon representing the folder will then appear on your homescreen and you can drag it to the dock which will then turn white. Release the icon and--vola--it appears in the dock.

Changing the app drawer icon is more troublesome, as you have a lot more (maybe hundreds!) apps to add to the folder. What I did was to 'star' each app, add the starred folder to the homescreen, then drag the star icon to the dock. You can create a new folder of course, with your desired icon, but it will take more time to populate the folder. Clicking on the star icon calls up a scrollable box with all the apps inside and the speed seems as fast as it usually is.

The Folder Organizer app (by the same developer as Apps Organizer) can also be used, but it looks a bit more complicated so I've not experimented much with it.

I hope Cloakt will be able to continue with the app, though I respect his decision to move on. Will someone be able to continue from where he left off? I have a paid launcher but Zeam is free and much smoother to use. Hardly FCs on me!

You can drag a desktop visualiser icon to the dock bar if you add it as a shortcut NOT a widget :)

Either add it from the home screen as a shortcut, or directly from the DV app - it creates a shortcut by default...

hide apps in app drawer

hi,

this is the first post in my life....

only one feature I really want is the "function to hide apps in app drawer".

yes, I respect the decision by the developer. but, is there anyone who willing to carry on development ?

do anyone suggest any alternative solution with quick action speed / low RAM use ?

I love Zeam. but because of this missing function. I have been using Launcher pro.

I really want back to Zeam...

Cheers from Jp.
[Android Apps and Games] Jayziac:
I discovered a workaround to the "dock icons reset after restart" issue. I noticed it happened when I had 7 dock icons in narrow spacing. Now I have 6 icons in medium spacing and it has been stable. So I'm guessing maybe it's the odd/even numbers, or the spacing change that prevents the bug from appearing.
