Morning cloakt, i know you have been asked this before (i have searched) but are you planning to have a resize widget option (drag and drop option) in future releases? The one ADW uses is superb and is a huge help in arranging my screens so all the widgets overlap and fit good.

This is the only option i find keeping me away from you otherwise superb launcher as i cannot get my screen wodgets overlapping correctly?.....

cheers in advance and congrat on a great launcher and the support your getting!

A feature request and a "bug report"

Hey,

I really love zeam launcher and its speed. But I have a single feature request and bug report.

First the feature request - I don't need a dock, and would love to remove it completely. Currently I hide it my removing all items and setting a transparent backround. But I would love to use the space too.

Now the "bug" report - I use a 5x8 grid on my homescreen. I have disabled the icon labels. When I place an SMS Unread Count widget without label text besides a shortcut to the SMS/MMS app, the widget is positioned a little bit higher then the app shortcut. Is this a bug in zeamlauncher or SMS Unread Count? I used ADW Launcher before and it worked there. So I guess there might be something wrong with zeam?

Best regards,

Oliver
[Android Apps and Games] ep0ch2:
Feature request

Not sure what the official way is to propose new features but here goes:

1. Launching an app from a folder should close the folder window after the app has been launched..

2. In the dock please could you show number of missed calls, number of unread messages, emails, gmails, next to their corresponding icon. pleaseeeee :)

many thanks and keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] ctakah27:
1. Yesssssss

2. Isn't that an app-specific feature rather than launcher...
[Android Apps and Games] DownMyWay:
Feature request

I have three requests to make this the perfect launcher for me:

1. I would like a 'Lock Icons' option after clicking the menu button. Far too often do my icons move accidentally away from the dock etc.

2. Under 'action bindings' I would also like to see some dual options. e.g. home could on first press take me to my home screen and on the second press launch the 'app drawer'. (have seen elsewhere)

3. Lastly I would like the animation which opens the 'app drawer' to match the built in animation when launching any stock screen e.g. settings etc. This would just give the whole experience more consistency.

I have tried all the other launchers, and try all the new releases, but I end up back to Zeam. Keep up the great work.

[Android Apps and Games] DownMyWay:
1. +1

2. +1 , although I am getting used to just seeing the icon on the notification bar and i wouldn't want to see the performance impacted by such a service which needs to interrogate several apps.
[Android Apps and Games] The_Zodiac:
does anyone know if there is a way to make it so that your dock doesnt scroll sidways? (i just want the 5 icons and no scrolling)
[Android Apps and Games] :
set dock item spacing to large, then just put 5 items in the dock?
[Android Apps and Games] cypis:
Great and super fast launcher :) It could have custom dock and custom dock icons but that's not important :D why you dont give thanks him !? And tell me how set custom dockbar :P
[Android Apps and Games] Dakar22:
it was in older versions :)

cloakt, please add groups (including default "hidden" group) and hiding labels in apps grid
[Android Apps and Games] :
thanks for this launcher... It's lightweight, but looks really nice and works very well...

fantastic!! :D

[Android Apps and Games] chiefy009:
Cant change the icons for the shortcuts in the dock ?

sent from my Commodore 64
[Android Apps and Games] :
you can use something like desktop visualizer from market and then drag the created icons into the dock
[Android Apps and Games] chiefy009:
Tried that and it wouldnt let me drop them on the dock ?

sent from my Commodore 64
[Android Apps and Games] :
I just tried it on 2.8.5 with desktop visualizer and it worked fine. I will need a bit more info to help ...

[Android Apps and Games] :
currently Widgets aren't supported in the dock
[Android Apps and Games] chiefy009:
Ok so how can I use desktop visualizer to change the icon ?

I've been using this launcher for a few days now, amd I really liked it so far
[Android Apps and Games] chronicfathead:
I had been installing Launcher Pro by default every time I installed a new rom. I have started to install Zeam after trying it in the Oxygen rom, and AdamG recommending it.

Great job, great update, no issues for me so far.

Any chance of notifications on the mail and sms app? Is is a major job to add that functionality?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] alexcold:
sorry for the question, I searched thread with screenshot, capture keywords and find nothing.

Someone told me it is possible capture screenshot with this launcher app, is it true?
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
No, not that I know of.

You could try 'shootme' from the market.
[Android Apps and Games] The_Zodiac:
not quite what i meant.

the problem is that if i accidentally swype the dock sideways it shows a ton more. i just want there to be 5 icons and nothing else, so i dont have to worry about the accidental swype
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
If you only have a total of 5 icons in the dock then it wont swipe anyway....

Not sure what you mean otherwise.
[Android Apps and Games] chronicfathead:
Yes, just hold an icon on the task bar till the bin shows, then drag the icon into it. After you have removed all the unwanted icons it shouldn't swipe.
[Android Apps and Games] puxxi2003:
hello,

i have a little problem with this very great launcher

every time i reboot my device (archos101) or i restart the launcher it changes the location of my apps in the dock

if i sort them -> after reboot (for example):

1 -> 2

2 -> 5

3 -> 4

4 -> 3

5 -> 1

also the double tap option for the home button dont work

what about an option for the home button, when im already in my homescreen?

btw

someone know a widget to show the space of my sdcard in the slot, not the space (8gb) of my device?

thanks

puxxi2003
[Android Apps and Games] :
this was a problem i created when i fixed other bugs for 2.8.4 :eek: rearranging should be fixed for 2.8.5, but you might need to do a clean install (uninstall > install) to fix the broken data.... my apologies

i installed it new, but nothing changed. :(

still the same prob

How to change the Application drawer icon to a custom one ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] itaykoren:
Dear Cloakt,

I have a problem here:

I am unable to change the "Item Spacing".

It always reverts to "Medium".

Any toughts?
[Android Apps and Games] aditya104:
just reverted back to 2.8.1 and that version is much smoother than the latest 2.8.5.

More features are eating into the snappiness of the launcher. And I have got the features such as application grid transparency and home button in applications grid in 2.8.1.

Thanks for the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] thafrogggg:
Are gadgets supported?

Ok, first off; I am a totally new android user, and I have downloaded/installed Zeam onto my Hype-pad 10" tablet and it works fine, but one thing that I miss from the default launcher (Wowhome) is the date/time/weather app that is loaded on the home screen.

When I re-loaded the default launcher, it is listed as a "gadget" rather than a widget, and I can not find a way to install gadgets in Zeam. Are they supported, or is there a way I should be able to get it to load.

I have looked in the market and I can not find one that works exactly like the one I have, at least not a free one.

Anyone have any suggestions about this?
[Android Apps and Games] monkeydrufy:
Hi guys,

i've installed this launcher and I'm very happy, it is fast and minimal.

I hope you will add some other features ;)
[Android Apps and Games] itaykoren:
This was resolved by uninstalling -> deleting /data/data/org.zeam folder -> deleting /dbdata/databases/org.zeam folder -> reboot -> installed latest version again from market.

Thanks anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] mlclm:
I was just wondering if creating homescreen backups was on your to-do list for the app. I really do love the feel of it of your launcher, but I don't want to have to reconfigure my settings and screens every time I flash a ROM or backup. Honestly, that's the only feature that's keeping me with LP.
[Android Apps and Games] naboleo:
Hi all,

Installed the last Oxygen build and do love this launcher, but does a localization/translation is planned for a futur release ?

In any case, I did a quick translation in french. It may help.
[Android Apps and Games] hawkeyexp:
And here is a full german translation :-) I use it since a long time for my own builds :-)

[Android Apps and Games] Anders_H:
Thanks for the last update, love the launcher but until it gets "unread count" for mail, sms and calls I'll stick with Adw, LPP or Go Launcher.

I have them all installed but for now ADW is my choice as default, when you get the unread thing fixed I will switch to Zeam in a heartbeat and uninstall the rest...
[Android Apps and Games] superindigo:
+1

I would have also that feature.
[Android Apps and Games] caiyuanhao:
it will be perfect in next version if Zeam launcher can involve following three features

1, LED light controll 2, be able to hide the pattern button in the lock screen

3, screen shot
[Android Apps and Games] Atermoon:
None of these 3 have anything to do with the launcher really
[Android Apps and Games] Backdraft11:
I still stand by that you should include Swipe Up actions for Dock icons (or something similar) like LP, effectively doubling the number of actions one can have in the Dock (while also keeping the size down).
[Android Apps and Games] raynerape:
Try MiniInfo for Sd card space widget
[Android Apps and Games] remizik:
Hi,

1st, Zeam is a really light and great launcher :)

It's impressive how much you update it ! :)

Everytime I met a friend with a new androphone, I put Zeam on it and the person is blow away, and doesn't want to come back to the sense one :D

This being said, I have one remark, and one suggestion :o

Sometimes the elastic scrolling is not working, the screen changes whitout the effect, like 1 time on 20 try :D (Tried on different roms)

Would it be possible to add extra actions by swiping the dock icons ? just like in Launcher Pro (for example I call my girlfriend by swiping on the phone icon, same thing for the sms)

Thanks a lot, I don't know if you take requests

Cheers

edit : haha, didn't see the post of Backdraft11 just before, happy to see that others thinks the same way :)
[Android Apps and Games] JoaoVr:
Is there a change of a "Sync All" action button?
[Android Apps and Games] spawndk:
My favourite launcher of them all - thanks very much - but could you please add a download option of the apk in this thread for sideload on devices with no marked access ?? My tablet are screaming for Zeam :)
[Android Apps and Games] n2droid:
Minor request for the loud minority that use a single (1) screen and no elastic scrolling; disable the dot/current-screen-indicator when screen == 1 & elastic scrolling == 0 , it's redundant. As usual, thanks for a great launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] XNine:
This ALMOST has me won over from ADW. The only things holding me back are custom icons, the ability to hide the dock, and locking the screen.

Overall, i would say this launcher is exceptional and one of the better pieces of software, let alone launchers, available on Android. It's slim, it's fast, it's intuitive. Just needs a few tweaks and I think this would be prime choice. +Thanks for developing this for us! :)
[Android Apps and Games] saproandroid:
just posting to say thanks for this great launcher!

- helix launcher is meh

- launcher pro asks for money too many times

- ADW lags a bit when changing screens on the application menu

- default launcher lacks too much

zeam is almost perfect, keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] brgavino:
Love what you've done! I have zeam installed, but love in-dock notifications too much! Thanks for such a great app. I look forward to using zeam fulltime soon (in-dock notifications please!)
[Android Apps and Games] AmazingIphone:
Nice one! amazing zeam.. I will try to install it and try to create one. Huge thanks for sharing this..:)

Happy New Year everyone!
[Android Apps and Games] Etype R:
I love zeam!

But... After this mornings update, it completely disabled my phones microphone. My boss called me up this morning and she was not able to hear me at all. I called her back, still couldn't hear me. Rebooted my phone, tried one more time. Then I tested voice search, an it was not picking anything up at all. I restored a old backup of zeam I had through titanium backup and resolved my problem for now.

Not sure what was changed in the code that killed the microphone on my phone.

Running Cyanogen CM6 on my HTC Mytouch Slide.

Keep up the awesome work, I'll be updating with the next release :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dward2828:
Fantastic launcher - use it with Oxygen. Tried ADW EX but that was lagtastic by comparison

+1 for the notification counters (by ADW-style extra app if necessary, to keep the package lean and mean...)
[Android Apps and Games] animatechnica:
love the app, but got a dumb question - how do you change the apps listed on the bottom row?

Using a rooted NC
[Android Apps and Games] aditya104:
just drag apps into and out of it.

to remove an app from the dock- drag it to the trash can.
[Android Apps and Games] micmcguire:
Archos 101 this is the only launcher. One small minor issue, occasionally the app sets full screen on its own. I switch it back every time. Read archos fans forum and xda for all the good press you are getting. Where do I DONATE?
[Android Apps and Games] peetayoo:
I really like this launcher!

Although it is similar to other launchers..I like it because you can make the background in the drawer transparent.

I have one problem with this and all other launchers though.

Can you make it so that the apps inside the drawer can be rearrange...like the customizable grid that you can do in stock phones.

If Zeam can do this...it will be awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] chiefvelo:
Droid-1 2.2.1 redraw continues

Zeam is a great fast launcher i agree. The Droid 1 i have continues to redraw the home screens often. I think Zeam works the best and fastest but there is still a delay.

any Chance of having a persistent mode to address this on handsets with launcher redraws?

Anyone else want the same?
[Android Apps and Games] brgavino:
API's / plug-ins

Hey cloakt -

Just a quick question for you: Do you have any API's for Zeam Laucher for plug-ins, etc? I'd be interested in writing plug-ins for features that you may not want in the main app.

I'm a newb to Android development, but I've done embedded C/C++ for years, and Java before that.

Let me know what you think....

P.s: Do you have a repository/bugtracker set up?
[Android Apps and Games] xdunlapx:
Hmm I just installed Zeam and got everything set up. The stock weather widget won't allow me to choose which city I'm in. Never had a problem with it before. I was able to download another weather widget and that one works fine. Anyone else having problems with the stock weather widget? I've got a Motorola Backflip 2.1 update 1. Rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] Virgilus:
I've been using Zeam since yesterday. The job you've down is amazing. I thought i will always be stuck with heavy launcher loke the stock one, or ADW or LauncherPro. But this one is really nice for my old G1.

I just want to report some small bug as i can't help you to resolve them.

- I'am using the launcher in fullscreen mode. I tend to expand notification by touching where the notification bar should be and draw it down, like i should do when i'am not in fullscreen mode.

So the notification bar strats to expand, but it stucks in the first upper thierd of my screen.

- I'tried to enable the orientation sensor in system settings, but the apps still won't rotate. So i had to enable sensor rotation in zeam to make it work in landscape.

But, if i disable the orientation sensor in system settings, and let it enabled in zeam, the launcher screen will rotate anyway.

And when having only one screen it would be great not to have the screen indacator at the top. I hate those kind of thing :P

Keep up the good work. :D

+1 on this, has anyone found an easy way to change the App Drawer Icon?
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
I just did away with it and use the swipe gestures.....
[Android Apps and Games] Twolazyg:
Custom Icons? Anyway you could implement this into the launcher? That's the only thing I can think of. Great work, real smooth and pretty.

[Android Apps and Games] d_1000:
I use Folder Organizer from the Market to change icons.....it is very easy. They do not change in your app drawer, but they do on screens, the dock and folders you create.
[Android Apps and Games] The_Zodiac:
thats funny i just found this thread to ask the same question as him, good answer btw.

does anyone know where i can find work icons for apps that are white and large. (like text, phne, web, etc...)
[Android Apps and Games] d_1000:
How many are you looking for 10 or so? If you tell me what you want (text and the particular font) I would be happy to make them. I have Photoshop and it is really easy. Just PM me with what you want and your email address.

Really enjoying this so far.
[Android Apps and Games] slashvanyoung:
Really enjoying this launcher as of late. I thought ADW.EX would give me the smoothest experience on my ol' G1, but this one seems to be slightly ahead with heavy widget-laden homescreens.

Also digging the dock.

The only thing I'm really missing in comparison to ADW is the option for a horizontal app drawer. That would make this launcher perfect for me.

But anyway, thanks for developing this great lightweight launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] yopete525:
Does anyone else have an issue with scrolling between homescreens where the screen will scroll as far as your thumb takes it, and then snap back without switching to the next screen? I had a similar issue with ADW, and it was a deal breaker.

On that note, Zeam is uncannily similar to ADW--is it based off the same code? Some of the features, as well as scrolling "feel" between screens and the window previews animation, are extremely similar (if not the same but smoother).
[Android Apps and Games] Saturn2K:
I can't wait for the first launcher to support multitouch gestures. Just the ability to define actions for two, three and four-point swipes would be amazing.
[Android Apps and Games] katman4:
Just found out about this launcher, got it installed and it looks amazing.

For some reason the setting shortcut on the homescreen said "application not found".

Fixed that by deleting it :)

Anyway, now all i need is a clock widget as i've been using the standard sense one and of course htc's widgets aren't available.

But i'll keep exploring, congrats on your work.

Is there any good way to change the icons as displayed in the dock? I want to use LauncherPro style app icons for the stuff I keep down there. If I could make that work I'd be all over this launcher.

Folder Organizer doesn't seem to do the trick; the icon changes there are only internal to Folder Organizer itself as far as I can tell.
[Android Apps and Games] Backdraft11:
Would be really good to have option to save/backup homescreen and dock.

[Android Apps and Games] MrBusiness:
Smal bug/feature request:

I use item alignment "center" and scroll reset to center for my dock.

If i turn my phone to switch between landscape/portrait the dock will allways be set to "left" until I press home again. Would be great if it would keep the old position or switch to center again.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] kimozabe:
Hey Cloakt.

a feature that would be really nice is if there was an option in preferences where you could turn off the dock completely and use that space for icons, widgets or what not. I see more and more people using transparant dockbar to hide it and putting their icons on the workspace.

Not sure if the trashcan bin would be in the way if you would like to put an icon or something where it is, maybe another option that lets you choose position of trashcan? or put it where the notification bar is, when trashcan appears, notification disappears :)

Just a thought, might not cope with the concept of zeam though being light.
[Android Apps and Games] stothy862:
Hey love this and Oxygen mix!

One feature I would love is being able to set a wallpaper per homescreen, that way you can have a wallpeper to correspond with the theme of the screen, I.e. Music = Album art, News = Weather Live Wallpaper, Social = Display pictures.
[Android Apps and Games] Cocolopes:
maybe a custom background for the dock....exelent work....this launcher it´s the best

Another idea....it would be awesome if you add the option to change the icons in the drawer....you know...I think this is a option that everyone want but none have.

Sorry for the english.... :D

[Android Apps and Games] dcarr622:
Zeam is great. It is literally the only launcher that gives decently smooth Sense Previews on Galaxy S.

One feature request: add an option for home button binding to first go to main screen, then open sense previews. All other launchers work this way and it just makes more sense.

Keep up the good work :)
