Hello Everyone :)

Everyone in here is having fun, being decent to each other, riiiight ;)

I see some posting that seems like we need a cool off period?

Be nice and enjoy your weekend.

Hopefully i wont have to come back in here cause it wont be nice for anyone ;)
​
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
This. Like the above said, im just here to show off the app and update when i see updates. I dont have any inside scoop to anything. If you have problems, there is an email and twitter where you can contact him. Lets try to keep cool and calm. If you have a problem, ask, or like i said, contact him. We dont need to be fighting and what not. Things obviously got screwed up a bit and we are waiting right now to see what happens. Patience :)

O faded home pro, faded home pro. Where for art thou faded home pro.

All this waiting is killing me!!!
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
I know right lol
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
He said he's release an update on New years
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
And here we are, still waiting :(
[Android Apps and Games] ralpharend:
i think this guy might not actually be working on this thing.

no offense to him, but his tweet that he spent 11 hours working on what he actually released is pretty indicative of what he actually released.

faded home looks like about 11 hours worth of work.

i'm not faulting him or anything but i just don't think he cares/has the time to actually work on this thing the way any of us want him to. otherwise it wouldn't take nearly this long.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
everyone who is upset they bought the app twice.

[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
I emailed last week and I'm still waiting. But I'm willing to wait a bit more...
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
Well hopefully soon then. I just wanted to throw that out there, since i had tweeted to him that people were upset about the mix up.
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
he says he's working on it in a tweet woot
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
Till when? Next Christmas? Hahaha!!! I kid I kid
[Android Apps and Games] Tachikoma_kun:
I really like this launcher, but can't fathom why it's so damn slow and freezes on the SGS (2.2.1 stock, no lagfix) when scrolling through the apps list.

I am hoping there will be an update and it's as fast as the YouTube video.
[Android Apps and Games] devlp1213:
it doesn't freeze it just don't have the continuous scroll, your finger has to be down the whole time, this it's to be fixed
[Android Apps and Games] Tachikoma_kun:
Ah yes, it's incapable of scrolling if you try scrolling when your finger is actually touching any text.

I hope it is fixed, I want to use this as my main launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
Any updates yet? Ah, I thought not :)
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
now i look like the bad guy for promoting this app. hopefully this all gets worked out and we get an update. he hasnt mentioned anything on twitter lately though. :/
[Android Apps and Games] Tachikoma_kun:
It's not your fault fella, people are just using this thread to keep informed rather than tramping around different websites and Twitter.
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
Such a lost cause
[Android Apps and Games] trillonometry:
I mean why would a dev post vids and all that if he weren't trying to make progress ...

Although I guess he could've taken all the money he already made and just started doing a bunch of Meth!
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
That guy is a fraud. Period. Don't buy his work.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
Thats what i thought too. Would you really put months of work into an app just to screw us? I tweeted him and we will see.
[Android Apps and Games] D4N14L:
I don't usually like anything other than default... but this has me interested. I'll keep tabs on this.
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Well, it looks like you didn't read the last five pages...:D
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
No, i have. I just wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

@crackedvenom no, look I know development is slow but you guys have to remember I have a full time job and im in college fulltime :(
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
I know dev's have other things to do most of the time. But still, the way he communicated (and still is communicating on the market) is completely misleading. That's the REAL problem...
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
Yeah, thats true, especially when people ended up buying two of the same app because he didnt explain it properly.

[Android Apps and Games] McFluffnStuff:
So, just to be clear....Zune Home is the one I should buy if I want to get updates first, right? Not the .99 cent Faded Home?
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
Correct

[Android Apps and Games] keefles:
I want to like this, but looking at the dev's website and it all seemed shady.

I'll have to try it out because the SweeterHome Zune theme is horrible, and I love the Zune HD player theme.
[Android Apps and Games] cashyftw:
Scolling is pretty bad, but better then what It was at first.
[Android Apps and Games] flopez76:
Well he did put out a update, but I didn't notice anything different really.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
Faded home has come a long way from zune home which was released about 8 months ago. I highly value all the support and patience from my fan base. I do however understand why some of you are upset at realease times and even some of you that like to claim im trying to get over on you, i respect all of your opinions and even if i dont respond i read every forum post, tweet, email, and comment that you guys send. First off if you have issues with myself personally and feel i am trying to get over on you please feel free to email me and i will be glad to get it straightened out Now for some updates and info

A lot of users have noticed faded home is slower than zune home and wonder why, i mean it is just text why is it slow?

well to answer that i wanted to make the app as visually appealing as possible and to accomplish this i needed to approach the "list" idea differetly so i there fore (and this is a bit technical for anyone not familiar with android dev) abandoned the LISTVIEW object and just placed a bunch of TEXTVIEWs in a layout and move them based on touch events, now that is how i accomplished the "elastic scrolling" affect; however, that came with a trade off where the user could not start touching any text/tiles and slide because the objects used an onclick method which directly interfere with the ontouch (to put it simply the screen did not detect touching when you placed your finger on any texts or tiles) i have already come up with a workaround and am busy implimenting it so that you can scroll smoothly nomatter where you first put your finger down.

Another issue causing the slow down is the way each "page" is loaded, i realize now that it will be beneficial to load the apps page and pins page at run time and cache them for each return so you will not see that lagg every time you hit apps, and finally i also realize that using these TEXTVIEW objects can be strenuous on the phone/device when there are a lot (ie the apps list) since i dont use LISTVIEW wich takes care of all the loading of things that are visible, so im also changing the way the text is drawn on the screen from an actual object and making it something thats just draw as a string to the screen wich should SIGNIFIGANTLY improve speed and smoothness

So i am working tirelessly on getting you guys a great product thanks again for all the support and remember i WILL NOT abandon this project for any reason, You guys are my fan base and i will do whatever i can to show my appreciation!

TL : DR - Knows of issues, has a work around, and is implementing them soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Tachikoma_kun:
Well good to hear the news he is working on it. Would still like to use this as one of my main UI's, but Metro UI is going to take some beating once the extra functionality is added.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
Yeah me too. I just hope we can get these little kinks worked out soon.

[Android Apps and Games] suua:
i the zune *(faded) launcher, very clean and nice. only thing that should fix is smoother scroling thru apps, and the uses of CPU.
[Android Apps and Games] PlutoISaPlanet:
Eric (developer),

I tried tweeting you but you didn't get back to me. I'm still on Zune Home, I bought it forever ago. How do I get Faded Home without having to repurchase?
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Lol. He won't answer here. And he never refunded anybody. The guy is a kid...
[Android Apps and Games] voddles:
God damn it, i want this, but i can't afford it.

Can someone get me an apk of this?
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
Yeah the guy made me look bad. What a douche. He took the money and ran. I'd gladly give you both apks but they suck so no reason to install them

Will any devs pick up this project and do some tweaks. I think it has alot of potential. its a shame that such a great theme/app was dropped.......

Its in the market. Its called zune home
[Android Apps and Games] dianeofarcadia:
Thanks for the update, saw your post and son wanted this look. Has been using it daily with no problems. I am unable to locate a forum for updates and troubleshooting, can you provide the developers website? The link in the market is not working (at least not for me).

thanks. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
Since the website doesnt work, this is the thread you want to be subscribed to. Any new info or updates will be posted on the 1st page as soon as i know about them.

Edit,, what problems are you having?
[Android Apps and Games] ednote:
Really love this home replacement. just found it today, and it is running on my EVO (rooted / Vaelpak rom) perfectly. The only thing i dont know is how to change the weather options. it's clearly showing weather for a different city.

I also have a ZUNE HD, and i love it to pieces. so probably a reason why the UI is so exciting to me.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
hmm not sure. i will try and find out for you. his settings are basic right now.

Thanks for replay :)

U know i live in norway, when i search in the market i cent finde it or when i search using AppBrain, i can finde it but i cen downlad it !

Is it any other way to get it ? any ideas ?
[Android Apps and Games] dianeofarcadia:
Thanks and subscribed. He mentioned he is unable to pin contacts to the quick list?

and recalls seeing something that showed the ability to do so, I am wondering if maybe it is still to early for it.

Look forward to seeing the updates. He has been really pleased with this. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
oh yeah, might be too early. but that sounds like a great idea. if you want to you can talk(email) the dev about ideas. when hes not busy he will get back to you. he said he has a ton of ideas, but he has been busy with moving he hasnt gotten a chance to work on them. id email him but ive already sent a couple about some other things people have been having problems with. I dont want to flood his inbox with emails from me, lol.
[Android Apps and Games] mer6:
It's cool but lacks much of the great animation and zooming from the Zune (as well as the crucial feature of actually working properly).
[Android Apps and Games] UniqueNate:
It's not what I thought. It just changes the home but everything else is android once you click on it. kind of boring.

if they can get a rom of it or something then it would be cool, but this launcher is something different but it's not fun. just a scrollable list of your icons in word form.
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
well its only a home launcher, not a rom.

and like i said if youre having problems, my guess is its your phone or rom. working close to perfect on og droid w/ ultimate droid.
[Android Apps and Games] pinpin890:
can u make free...i cant buy where i live

He needs to make a Zune Home (lite) or make it free until all the bugs are worked out. I am not paying a buck for something I can't try out first.. Sorry, I think it looks great and I am sure it would be something I would buy. I prefer to "try before I buy"!!!! Great work nonetheless!

You can try. Try it for 24 hours and if its not to your liking thats what the refund is for. Its a buck though..

totally agree, this home launcher offers a nice variety and has potential.

don't usually email devs, prefers to follow their work. Gonna wait til his next release, if you email him again (lol) encourage him to visit here.

also, he says hes working on a bunch of new ideas at the moment which should make this a ton better. not sure how long until we see them just yet.

I agree the cut away animation is what makes zune so amazing otherwise its just a bunch of lists. I would say though I do still love this ui.

one point i am not sure if this has already been asked but will there be added the ability to see the quick launch by sliding your finger across the screen like the zune?
[Android Apps and Games] takethewall:
The reason it isn't working is you need to first click on apps, find the app you want for whatever button it is you want (i.e. CompSMS for messaging) and press and hold on that app, then click "Launch from Messaging". This will link that app to that button. Then just keep doing that for all of the buttons on the home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] vineet.rox:
where can i find the download link??
[Android Apps and Games] lumpaywk:
its in the marketplace search zune home
[Android Apps and Games] SmorkinDroid:
Is there suppose to be an animation when pressing on the apps link on the home screen? I could have sworn on one of the videos I seen showing off the zune ui for android there was some sort of animation when the apps link was pressed. Also there are times when the apps link doesn't do anything. Just highlights and that's it. To get it to show all my apps i would have to open another link like messaging, return back to the home screen and that normally gets the app link working again.. Also newly downloaded apps aren't showing up in my app drawer. Any one else getting these problems? I'm using a samsung vibrant
[Android Apps and Games] ajm2387:
this is cool
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
i dont remember if there was any animation. i know he redid the whole thing so theres probably different coding.
[Android Apps and Games] golfnz34me:
i went ahead an bought this app to try out, and I am seriously disappointed. Useless on a QVGA device, the fonts are way too big. No way to adjust the font size. The interface is SLOW. They really should've kept this free until they had a chance to make it more polished and snappy.

There's no excuse for this to be slow. It should be lightning fast given how lightweight it is.

Market Place

I, like several others, wasn't able to find this on the market place but I really wanted this Launcher. As soon as it shows up in my market I'm going to buy it but until then I'm running v1.3 that I found online. It works great.

If you look in the right place you'll be able to find it and use it until it shows up in your market. (I'm not going to say where though because I don't want people stealing from the Dev just right out. Dev's work hard on their apps and it's just a buck.)
[Android Apps and Games] yipcanjo:
Found this home replacement late last week... and I *really* dig it! I'm also a proud Zune HD user, and I'm very much looking forward to the release of WP7. Bring it on!

Anyhow, my initial take on Zune Home was utter confusion, but the trick is to click on APPS and then long-press on anything you want to "pin" or assign to one of the primary functions (email, phone, internet, etc.). It's actually quite cool, and I *LOVE* the pin-to-quicklist stuff.

Some things I'd love to see...

- Weather configurable (seems to be *locked* to one particular location right now)

- Ability to move pinned apps around

- Support for folders

- Ability to pin contacts to the home screen and/or a contacts "favorites" option

- Allow Home button to function when in the APPS or SETTINGS areas

All in all, a pretty great home screen replacement. I'm definitely liking it.
