thats how the zune device is if you didnt know, :)

also new update,,,,

"Settings menu is half way done as im revamping it. Im also making it have the user choose the apps for the buttons upon first install so they dont get confused thinking no buttons work"

guy just recently moved so he was busy and couldnt get working on it until now. hes hoping to get the update in by morning, so check back :)
[Android Apps and Games] lucas.scott:
I really really like this and hope the developer continues their work . Works very nice with the album art live wallpaper on my DX. I would love to see a lock screen similar to the zune hd.

I love a nice,clean, sleek look, and this is well on its way. Would like to see the actual list of apps when you click "apps" to be in a larger font. One that matches the home screen preferably. Fantastic work thus far and cant wait to see where it ends up. Will continue to pay this dev for their work.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
you should email the dev your ideas, he loves to hear them and would def think about it.
[Android Apps and Games] suua:
is this launcher availible to download? if its where can i get it ?

Love this launcher :)
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
Just purchased it and I must say it is not bad at all. Eric will perfect it in the end. I am now the proud owner of faded home and zune home.
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
The temptation is SO strong to buy faded home!
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
just do it lol I mean .99 come on plus it supports his time for developing this for us
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
yeah i let him know a few things via twitter that i came across and im sure he will check them out and make sure they get fixed. but like i said, its christmas and i think he said he was with family. i will be patient and wait for that new years update :)
[Android Apps and Games] narddog:
gave in to purchasing faded while already owning zune home. Not bad...but missing certain important features. I'm holding promise that this is the home launcher for me though. Love the concept! Make it great!
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
Well I couldn't fight the temptation anymore, bought Faded Home. And I have to say I'm very impressed! Yes there are bugs, and most likely they will be fixed. Very satisfied
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
My thoughts, first I went ahead and bought faded home. I like what I have seen so far on the forums and elsewhere. My experience, after install there was nothing to launch it from no icon in my app drawer, my phone is absolutely lower end (Samsung Intercept) and things seemed a bit laggy not smooth (I understand this is work in progress and this is to be expected) but I hope the dev is working on speed improvements since other launchers that do much more intensive graphics seem to be able to make their apps smoothly operate. Other things that do not work that I expected to was being able to change wallpaper, it also seems to think that my phone app is also called "contacts" weird since launcherpro does not have this issue. All in all I like this and hope to see major improvements in the future. BTW I am not sure if we were supposed to have the features that were shown in the latest video or not.
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
Yea I was wondering if we were ment to have the same features as what is in the VIDEO, like the option to add extra text under a pinned app name.
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
first the app wasn't 100% ready for launch he said but he wanted to launch on christmas like he promised so it was a lose lose on his ends and he said look for an update in a few days, also home replace ment almost never have an app in the drawer you just hot the home button, launcher pro is the same way so don't compare the two, if home don't work go to manage app> launcher pro> clear defaults then your good
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
Anyone know if the game section (the second icon) of faded home can be used?
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
As stated in my post I understand that this is a work in progress and these kinds of things are to be expected. I will though compare the two when it is relevant. Given that this Home replacement is not yet ready for prime time then maybe the dev should consider this option since it clearly can not be used as a replacement at this time. I did purchase this app and did not return it for a refund so i will continue to comment without reservation.I have good hopes for this product.
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
Check out his twitter. Turns out there is a pro version
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
yea he said that zune home well become the pro version of faded home and that the new one would be like a lite version, lol I don't mind that I bought both but wish that would of between a little more clear the first time,o well just another bought app that will sit st the bottom of the list lol
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
Well, now I am confused. I purchased Faded home based on the market description which stated that the price is going up to 2.99 . Am i considered an early adopter as well being updated to the exclusive pro version? since the website states that it will remain .99 . If not then something funny is going on. Please clarify.

I purchased at this price believing that I was saving money by purchasing now.
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
The one you bought will be the regular version, if I understand what you wrote. And the pro version will be the one called Zune Home
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
sooooo... the description of the software that I PURCHASED on the market that says the price is going up is erroneous? If so then I was mislead by the market description and I wish to be included in the pro version for no extra cost.
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
I think all the people who purchased the new Faded Home thinking it would become the final product and who already got the Zune Home app should get a refund.

Who's with me ? I don't like being ripped off like that, even for 0.99. I'll write to the dev...
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
I totally agree with you on that.

*EDIT* actually it doesn't matter to me. I have both versions of the homes, so which ever one the dev wants to make pro is fine by me. The amount spent on them both really is pocket change. I used to feel ripped of but now a feel like I'm supporting a strange confused dev with great potential ;)

I just keep wondering when the hell is he gona drop the pro?

Sent from my GT540
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
granted that there was a mix up I'm not going to throw a fit over .99... everyone makes mistakes ppl and this was all just miscommunication. if you never made the same mistake then ill call bs :)
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
I understand people make mistakes but I also understand that people make right by their mistakes as well, especially people that are doing business in a high visibility place like the android market. The dev needs to take down the faded home app and repost it with a clear description. he also needs to include everyone that purchased it in the pro version. Thats the only satisfaction I will accept.
[Android Apps and Games] typhoone:
O.o ? so because you jumped the gun, EVEN THOUGH HE SAID YOU WOULD BE GETTING IT FOR FREE IF YOU ALREADY HAVE ZUNE HOME, its his fault that you were in a rush to throw away your dollar? I really hope some of you more annoyed people don't come eat at my restraunt. If you jump the gun because of your impatience, and things dont go well, because of your impatience....the only person you can really blame is ................
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
Jump the gun? Impatience? ummmm His website directly contradicts what the market description states. nothing was mentioned about zune home on the market all that was said was that the price was going to go up to 2.99 after the year end. Since I have not heard anything from the Dev regarding this issue I will reserve my judgment. But so far it looks as if you support the bait and switch practice that appears to be going on here. This is illegal and if not resolved will start a ball rolling that the Dev does not want to happen. Trust me in that. He needs to learn how to conduct business properly. I suggest you don't drink the koolaid. Are you saying that buying Faded Divinity was throwing away my dollar?
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Totally agree with Intercepter...
[Android Apps and Games] typhoone:
Guess im the only one who follows devs websites and twitter.....it was stated on both. Well before the faded release. You have to remember, this thread isn't the dev's thread. he isn't responsible for anything on it.
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
You are absolutely correct that he is not responsible for anything on this thread. He is however responsible for what he submits to the Android Market.
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
and I'm sure he is going to fix it, he made a correction on the app changes field, calm down and give the guy a chance to fix it, it's still holiday time. he is aware of the confusion and I'm sure he will fix it, if you want money to flow and not come to a halt you fix the problem and I'm sure he didn't do all this work on the app for just 100(or $100) worth of downloads. I'm still learning java and trying to convert from web design to app builder but I wouldn't do this kind of work for something so little. so at least give him a chance
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
I am more than willing to give him a chance. As a matter of fact I posted a reasonable solution to the situation.

edit: I see that he has indeed taken the time to change the description. Now heeds to take the time to address the problem with a response on his website.
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
And I read his tweets and website. It was just bad communication all along.

I'm just waiting for his response...
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
We are going to find out. We will see what kind of business man this guy is. Is he a person that stands behind his work like all good businessmen should or is he a punk/hack looking to make a few easy bucks? I for one hope it is the former and will give him the benefit of the doubt. This is a perfect opportunity to show everyone what he is made of.
[Android Apps and Games] lucas.scott:
.....its just a dollar guys .. he deserves way more than that really just for taking time to make anything at all.
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
IT'S THE PRINCIPLE NOT THE BUCK.

$0.99 or $99, it's the same...
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
Ok but with out the whole mis-communication. How do y'all like the launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
I wouldn't even be messing with this if I didn't like the idea. It runs slow and things don't work but it is a beta. Which is funny, normally I would not pay for a beta of anything.
[Android Apps and Games] lucas.scott:
I love zune home. And really like this dev, but gotta say, faded home is almost unusable because of how buggy it is. I will wait for a future release. I really like the work he has done with the animations. Just needs some work and ill be back on board .
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Still not usable on daily basis : pointless notification bar with no possibility to restore the default one, scrolling painful in the app list, sorting of that list seems erratic and some pins bring wrong apps to the main menu, etc. Could be faster actually.

I hope this is also a rush release in terms of development. We'll see next week, I don't want to wait a month at every update. I wouldn't mind with an already usable app but at that pace, that launcher will be "default-worthy" by the end of 2011...
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
Here is the body of the last post I made on the faded divinity site. I am tired of people saying that its just a buck whats the big deal.

quoted text:

look, its not a matter of if he did anything intentional or not. It doesn't matter if he tweeted ran out into the street and shouted put on his website nothing. The only thing that matters is what he said on the market. There are a lot of people here that say say "oh, it's just a buck. Whats the big deal?" This guy here is selling beta software for crying out loud and I was aware of that but he also made statements that made it sound like I was getting something if I bought before the end of the year and NOW THAT HAS CHANGED! I am now officially tired of this crap and am going to pursue other avenues to get this resolved since the dev seems to be missing in action. He obviously has time to change the market description but can't make a statement on his site or twitter that everyone here seems to love so much. he has until 6pm pst to resolve this with me I know he is aware of this problem at that time I will make a formal complaint to google the market.I am also going to be emailing the attorney general for PA I will also notify the city he lives in to make sure he is paying all B & O taxes on this business he is running. Is that what he wants? hmmm? I hope so cuz the !@ storm starts NOW!
[Android Apps and Games] lucas.scott:
I'm sorry man, it just seems like the same things as some redneck seeing a sales flyer with a typo on it ... then when they go into the store and the Rep explains to them it was an error and apologizes, the redneck starts screaming about false asvertisin', and how he's going to sue them. Haha.

I promise you, the attorney general for PA does not care ... nor does the city he lives in. It... a ... DOLLAR. Come on man ... what kind of storm is coming from that haha
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
and there you go again "its just a dollar man" well if you had to support a family of five then you would know that every dollar counts. And BTW the market description looked nothing like a typo and seemed very reasonable since a lot of developers give limited time discounts. Tell you what everyone that says "it's just a buck" go ahead give me a buck I mean really its just a buck. And if you don't think that municipalities don't want every dollar they can get in taxes then you are very naive. If however that is the case then he has nothing to worry about. hmmm lets see about a review on the app on the market shall we?
[Android Apps and Games] lucas.scott:
Dude if you have PayPal or live in the Nashville area I will more than Gladly give you a dollar ... hell even five , take the entire family out, as long as you stop bogging down an otherwise productive thread.
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
dude just get the damn dev here to explain his resolution to the problem. I suggested a simple solution but it looks like some people here think it was somehow unreasonable. its not just a dollar. its a dollar down a !@#$hole

Thats allright I will bad mouth this dev every chance I get on every forum I can.
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Bottom line : developers should take communication lessons...
[Android Apps and Games] kuherrm:
i couldnt agree more, its just a dollar n ppl r flippin ****, clearly the dev has made many improvements on the app from prior releases, he released it on xmas and didnt even have his home computer with his files on it, even if you go out n buy both faded home and zune home itll b cheaper than what he said he was gna raise it too... relax, get faded or sumtin haha
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
Don't you morons read? Do you actually comprehend words? I am not complaining about the app. All you have to do is READ the posts all I want is the VALUE THAT I PAID FOR! should I say it slower so you get it? The value that was advertised.
[Android Apps and Games] kuherrm:
u dont have to say it slower, the caps really emphasizes ur point enough, really gives you a sense of sophistication and unmoron-ness
[Android Apps and Games] kuherrm:
"Look I understand your upset ive did not realize i posted that wrong on the market and since yesterday morning have been emailing everyone asking for there order numbers to properly refund them, with that being said DO NOT come on my site and start trash talking, i do not appreciate it and if it happens again you will be barred from using my apps PERIOD next time you have an issue email me personally, eric.murtaugh@gmail.com its not like it isnt easy to contact me and yes i have a full time job and a personal life so i appologise if i dont respond to an issue at the drop of a hat but know i am 100% commited to doing whatever i can to help you guys out, afterall i wouldnt be where i am if not for my fans i greatly appreciate all your support thankyou

and the updates will be up as soon as i can get them up

So like i said if i havent emailed you yet email me your order number and i will be glad to refund"

as quoted from his website since he has no affiliation with this thread
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
And like I said, just give me what I paid for. simple
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
He refunded you, you got what you want. And also got ban from using his apps lol
[Android Apps and Games] kevin2516:
You did get what you paid for, you got both the apps, and they're .99c anyway, you're not buying zune home again when it comes to $2.99 are you. so gtfo and stop complaining. Even though the dev made a mistake, it's a simple one to forgive >_>
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
Funny, if you and he really thinks he can bar me from using the apps then you are truly dumber than I thought and no I did not get both apps if that had been the case none of this would have happened. He owes me a total of $2.99 and until I get it I will complain on any thread pertaining to this app. Here let me steal 2.99 from all of you. What a used car salesman this guy is.
[Android Apps and Games] kuherrm:
chill out man, blowing your load over 2.99, he said it could take a couple of days for the refund process
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
I believe he only expects to refund me $.99 so this will be ongoing. Deal with it.
[Android Apps and Games] kuherrm:
im dealing with it just fine bro :)
[Android Apps and Games] toosurreal01:
How did you spend $2.99? Aren't both apps still $0.99?
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
You are expected to be able to read. Sorry, can't help you.
[Android Apps and Games] toosurreal01:
Keep digging yourself a hole. If you can't support your family and are complaining about $2.99 then quit spending money on apps and get rid of your smartphone. Priorities!
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
+1

Intercepter you are truly pathetic
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
He is not pathetic at all. He has a valid argument. He is just going about it the wrong way. Mr.dev said he would drop the FH 2.0 ontop of ZH on Xmas day. That didn't happen, and it still hasn't happened. Then he made FH a separate app and charged 99cents for it. He then stated that after new years he was going to up the price of the new FH app. All of a sudden he says that the FH app is going to be a standard version which will remain 99cents and the ZH update will be a pro version. Now a lot of people have been confused and are feeling ripped of. I don't believe it is the money that is the issue but rather how the dev treated his supporters who had been waiting, and still are waiting eagerly for this FULL FH 2.0 release. I for one am on the fence. I'm angry that he did what he did but yet I still feel that I made the right choice in purchasing FH while owning ZH because I still need to support this dev. For you see, without him, FH & ZH would never have existed.

[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
I agree with skribbler86's point and think that Intercepter went way too far.

However, I'm still expecting a FH refund. I don't mind supporting a developer at all. I just like to choose when and how. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
At least someone knows how to read. How refreshing. It is and isn't about the money. I could easily absorb the cost of the app, I chose not to on principal. Something 90 percent of you fanboys out there don't seem to understand. Something the dev seems to have none of. To everyone that said "it's just a buck" you can shove it up your @#$.
[Android Apps and Games] trillonometry:
agreed.

but you dont have to be a **** about it... and neither do the people on the fanboy side.....

it IS just a buck but your point is valid... it's just your attitude coming across on this thread is unnecessary and makes you seem less intelligent than you probably are.
[Android Apps and Games] typhoone:
You are coming off as the geek in middle school who tries to act tough on the internet....either that

or just an ass in general. Chill
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
I already told you what you could do with your opinion. Does it feel good?
[Android Apps and Games] typhoone:
:) thank you for proving my point for me you little ray of sunshine.
[Android Apps and Games] Intercepter:
Thank you, it has taken many years to perfect :)
[Android Apps and Games] trillonometry:
thats what i'm talkin about you sweeties!! but for real i hope this app gets some good treatment
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:

accidental double post
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
wow this thread got pretty heated. i wasnt getting daily emails and didnt notice.

p.s. click user name, then click user lists, then click add to ignore list.

that is for anyone who doesnt want to hear certain people continue to complain on and on.

like someone else said, i am not the dev. i just post what i get from his twitter so you guys dont have to visit two places. i even made it bold and underlined so you would know.
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
I don't get it. On the devs 'let me clear some things up' statement he states that he was not at home on Xmas so he couldn't give us the ZH update, that's fair enough. However, he is home and has been home since then... so where is this update? He also states that he is working on it. What exactly is he working on? Is he working on the ZH update or is he working on the app? Maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't take the best part of a week to upload an app to the market. Also, judging by his latest FH video, it doesn't seem as if he had much left to do before the release on Xmas day. Sure he did say that there was some extra fixing here and there to be done, but the app that was dropped on Xmas day was no way near as complete as the app in his video...and that app in the video was what he led us to believe he promised.
[Android Apps and Games] mystmyst:
Ok crackedvenom, you are not a developer but you sell your software in android market for $ and you have the same responsibility to all when you give timeliness and announcements that are not realy exist. We don't have a freeware app here !

Are you respect finally your customers? Why you demand a respect from us for your life, job etc. If it is only a hobby for you and you don't have time to spend make your apps freeware.
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
he isn't selling the app... he just copys and paste what's on twitter to here for ppl who don't use it... plus all promises are off when there is a mess to fix, sure the guy has a life and possibly a job so give him a break. everyone should know just cuz something was promised doesn't mean it's going to happen it's called life. as for me I am also waiting for an update because I love this setup and I'm still learn to dev. so til I can make my own just wait no point in trying to rush ppl
