Feature Request: Customizable Speed for Preview Screen Animation

Hi,

Just found that home app a few hours ago. It's the only one I found with all the features I ever wanted AND, it is screaming fast! It's pretty much perfect, thanks a lot!

I have a feature request though. After I tap a screen in the preview, there is an animation that slides the screens from the one I was to the one I tapped. Could you make that animation optionnal, or have the speed customizable with an "instant" option? Thank you so much for implementing my feature request!

That is seriously the only thing that is not perfect with that app, excellent work!

Some ideas to make Zeam even more better

Great home screen replacement. Just some ideas:

optional: 5 rows for icons on homescreen (5x4 Icons), Android wastes so much space. Sure, that means no (or a very ugly) portrait mode, but I don't need that anyway for the home screen.

up to 7 icons in launcher bar (configurable)

option: no app menu in launcher bar

- that means one more app in launcher bar

- there is already an option to use home button for app menu (in that case: home -> app menu, 2nd time home -> back to home screen, don't start app drawer again)

option: 2 rows for app labels on home screen

Menu could be slightly cleaned up, Android has a duplication of features here. All of them could be optional (in a submenu, cluttered options are suboptimal):

- no "Notifications" button (when not in full screen mode).

- no "Add item" Button (you can use long press on home screen).

- no "Set wallpaper" (see above)

- no "Applications" (you can youse the button in launcher bar, or home button optional)

- no "Screens"

- no "Toggle fullscreen" (I need the status bar)

- no "Search" (my phone has a search button)

Because of all these functions (that I never use), I need more clicks to get to the two only funktions I need: Zeam Settings and Android System Settings -> for me these two would be sufficient when pressing menu on home screen
[Android Apps and Games] 71baker:
I agree on all of this except maybe this:

Which i am unsure what it means.
[Android Apps and Games] Namensindschallundrauch:
Well, that was vague :-) Replace rows with lines: When you look at the names of the apps on the homescreen, they are cut off if they are too long. I just wondered if it was possible to use 2 lines of text for the names.
[Android Apps and Games] DJBenson:
I have just installed this and set it as my default launcher (HTC Hero with Android 2.1) and I really like it - compared to Sense ("Rosie") it is very fast and much lighter on the memory footprint.

The only things I find "irritating" are;

It would be better if the thumbnail preview was arranged in a pattern with the main screen in the middle

Pressing the "Home" key whist on the main home screen should present the thumbnail view

These are basically features which work in Sense but not in Zeam - I know it's not a Sense-clone but for users coming from Sense it would make sense (:D) for it to behave (or at least be configurable to behave) like Sense does.

[Android Apps and Games] MinisterofDOOM:
I'd been using ADW for a while before discovering Zeam. I've now switched to Zeam as my default, and for the most part haven't looked back. I love the look and functionality of the scrollable dockbar, and Zeam is more responsive on my aged HTC Dream than ADW.

I do have a couple of suggestions/observations:

1:

On devices with a trackball, with no selectable icons (shortcuts, folders, etc.) on the default screen, bumping the trackball causes Zeam to scroll to the next screen with a selectable icon. I like to keep a clean home screen so my wallpaper is more or less unobscured (and with the scrollable dockbar, I can do that while keeping plenty of functionality) so I run into this problem often.

If you were to make the app drawer button selectable/actionable from the trackball, it would solve this problem in addition to adding a little more functionality for trackball users.

2:

I (and others I know on different devices) am still having issues with the wallpaper being centered differently than default. It's not a dealbreaker by any means, especially since you fixed the landscape alignment. But when unlocking the phone there's a noticeable shift in alignment from the unlock preview/prompt to Zeam itself.

I'm running Zeam on a stock G1/Dream under Donut.

The other device I've observed the wallpaper center issue on was a MyTouch/Magic also running stock Donut.

I also agree that uncluttering the menu would be nice. I'd prefer not to have to go through Zeam settings to get to system settings, particularly since I've got Zeam configured the way I want it, so I rarely need those settings anyway. For the moment I've just dropped a Settings shortcut into the dockbar which works well enough, so it's not a huge issue.

I love this launcher; the regular updates are awesome. Definitely looking forward to future updates.
[Android Apps and Games] jotacorredor:
thanks for this great app!!

I've been trying launcherpro for a while which I think is a great app too but at the end of the day I prefer speed and low memory usage to keep my phone running smooth. I really don´t miss live wallpapers and I hope you keep your main goals with the new updates when they come. Scrolling dockbar is a great add on.

thanks for your time and keep up the good work !!!

to everyone don't expect to many updates in a short time if developer happens to be a soccer fan, jajaja...:p

saludos,

PS. included wallpaper is really cool but zeam logo is a little big, can you make one with a smaller icon (using fancy widget right now and it doesn't look good as the clock is on top of the logo.

Great launcher! Thanx!

But an option to hide "Home button" from Applications grid really needed!

Simple but Important Suggestion for Zeam Launcher

Hi Zeam team!

*I have an Important suggestion that is very simple to implement:

I propose a functionality in ZeamLauncher to quickly take me back to my current app just like Show-Desktop in bottom right corner of Windows 7.

*Why Important?

Many instance where I'm in say writing a document and I just wanna check the homescreen for some widget updates and notifications. It's so annoying that I have to leave my document just to peek the Homescreen! How I wish there's a shortcut in ZeamLauncher to quickly take me back to my document so I can immediately continue my writing.

Many times I'm in a browser but forgot to turn On the wifi so I simply toggle wifi on the Homescreen. If only there's a shortcut on the homescreen to immediately take me back to the browser then visiting the homescreen will become a pleasure instead of a disturbance.

*Different ways to Implement:

1. Press Back-key on the Homescreen to go back to the app. Because currently Back-key has no function on the homescreen.

2. Press a shortcut or Icon on the dock to go back to the app. This should be simplier to implement and should work as great.

Thanks and I wish you consider my proposal important
[Android Apps and Games] elcasa:
a very very light and fast launcher, very good, I miss only customized icons, for example putting the stock message icon on a go sms link in the home like adw ( and then putting that modified link in the dock bar) but zeam now it's the best for me
[Android Apps and Games] kassipopassi:
Guys you should think about what you write. This is an free launcher, you pay absolutely nothing. But nowadays it seems normal to demand wishes and again demand wishes without thinking what you get...

You guys should learn yourself to program Java/Android and then you'll see how "easy" it is to implement some new functions in your free time.

Some of the posts here make me really feel ashamed to be part of this community. It has great developers, but 90% kids who only want to let their smartphone look better and write hundreds of wishes and improvements...

God damn, be happy with that what you've got!
[Android Apps and Games] DnaPolymerase:
This launcher is actually good, better than my first try (version 2.xx something). I'm glad I reinstalled. There's only one thing bothering me, when I try to access menus it lags a little. I'm on a Optimus One btw. Any possibile solution to speed this up?
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
While on the home screen tap and hold the home button. From there you can return to any app in the list.
[Android Apps and Games] tenkainen:

Use desktop visualizer, create a shortcut on your homescreen with it then dnd to your dock.

The only icon I don't know how to change is the app grid icon (I with I could change it)

zeam-launcher doesn't allow to make folders in app-grid (yet), right?

REBOOT

Not sure if this has been discussed, either way I can't seem to find it or fix it.

Every time Zeam is restarted or I reboot phone, The default Dock bar icons re-appear ( Phone, Messenger, Browser etc) and the ones I have added change order, dome go missing and others I have deleted re-appear.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Wow, back to zeam after playing with the RAM intensive spb shell. Now got loads of memory back and phone is flying. I used to use folder organizer with zeam, but I see zeam now has folders, folders are great, but the stock icon is a very plain and the screen looks really boring. I'm not after all the nice bits of folder organizer, but would it be possible to add an option to choose icons for folders, this would make it look really cool, with hardly any overhead. Thx

I love zeam but i cant use it..well i can but i rly need custom dock.

- custom icons in dock (also custom dock)

- two paged dock or more (swipe for next set of dock apps)

- put app drawer in middle

- more than 5 items in dock first page-> 2nd

- change docks apps to whatever you want

if you made these changes i would only use zeam. It is basicly the only reason i keep using LPP
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
I don't see how the Dock in Zeam doesn't fit your needs unless you haven't even tried to add apps to it by dragging and dropping. I generally have 20 or so.
[Android Apps and Games] :
It does every single one of those things easily.

[Android Apps and Games] SOMFW:
I think what he meant by 2 paged or more dock is like what is in LP or GO where you scroll between Dock pages = Every 5 icons. LP has up to Three

Zeam is free scrolling, The app drawer doesn't stay in the middle, not that you need it with the double click option, but still,

Also, it re-adds the default icons, once you change them, so maybe his, like mine is suffering from the same bug

I am running Zeam version = 3.1.7 on a cm7 ROM / Gingerbread - 2.3.7 on a Droid Eris

Hi, I'm loving Zeam on a Xperia Ray, so much more responsive, but my phone has rebooted a couple of times, the last time I had CatLog and the last event I had before I think it rebooted appeared to be something like:

WindowManager I WIN DEATH: then something with zeam in the text

I'd also like to be able to add the action open the default Messaging App... is there any way to edit the Actions... I wouldn't mind if it was editing a config file.

+1 for removing the Home Screen Icon in the Applications Grid
[Android Apps and Games] ejstubbs:
I still have the problem whereby the app drawer doesn't update when new apps are installed, or when existing apps are uninstalled or frozen, unless you restart Zeam. If the restart was a bit slicker it woldn't be so bad but it takes a good few seconds. Could a quick app drawer refresh function be added somewhere? Eg in the app drawer menu alongside "Manage" and "Uninstall", so you don't have to exit back to the home screen to call up Preferences like you do to access restart.

Apart from this one gripe I

love

Zeam and use it as my only launcher. Sometime I must get round to actually deleting all the Motorola apps that I don't use, including the stock launcher (after taking a robust system backup of course).

2. Hide the dock - I use circlelauncher and zoom (I like big buttons)

For my needs, any other feature is icing and may risk increased memory usage.

[Android Apps and Games] ahilliard:
Bug report in 3.1.7:

Dock icons change locations when rotating screen

Steps to reproduce:

Hold phone in portrait orientation. Note dock icon locations. Turn counterclockwise to landscape or open keyboard (on HTC Desire Z / G2). Dock stays on trackball-side of phone, but icons shuffle around.

This is a bug. Icons should not move without warning. The hardware buttons are right next door, and they don't move when rotated. Dock should behave like hardware buttons. The cause is the sort order of dock icons:

Phone in portrait: left-to-right

Phone in landscape: top-to-bottom

Suggested fix: Change sort order to

Phone in landscape: bottom-to-top

This way, dock icons will remain in the same place when the phone is rotated, consistent with the hardware keys.
[Android Apps and Games] InfiniteRisen:
Not a bug.

Portrait: icons are in order from left to right.

Landscape is from top to bottom.

ういこ!
[Android Apps and Games] ahilliard:
Yes, it's a bug. The whole point of a launcher is usability. Therefore usability problems are bugs.

I get that sorting left->right and top-> bottom are standard for text layout. But the dock is not a text list. It's a set of buttons.

If a paragraph's text lines get reverse-sorted in landscape mode, it's unreadable. But reverse-sorting the dock buttons in landscape mode instead makes them stay in a consistent location and behave the same as the adjacent hardware buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] InfiniteRisen:
Wrong, its coded to happen that way. This app was coded to fit the dev. To us its a "bug" because its not fitting for us but the dev.

ういこ!
[Android Apps and Games] ahilliard:
I'm just giving feedback. I hope the dev will agree. If there is a better place than a 284-page thread please point me there.

TIL: LauncherPro, ADW Launcher, GO Launcher and TW Launcher all reverse-sort dock icons in landscape mode.
