pretty good work so far. it is also surprisingly fast on my htc desire.

at the moment it's still unusable for me as a daily launcher since there are some important features missing (tile moving, notifications...) ... and the side swiping lag just totally kills it... i hope you'll fix that soon into a fluid transition like on other android launchers...

can't wait for wp7 styled features like the hubs, maybe even sms...

as much as i like the power that android has under the hood, i hate its looks...

i've noticed that the standard wp7 tile icons only get applied to default apps named in english (Phone, Messaging, Browser...) in my case i'd need the german versions (Telefon, Nachricht, Internet...) it'd be nice to manually choose the defaullt app or have other languages supported... i wouldn't even care if on the tiles themselves it would still say the english names as long as they had the standard wp7 icons...

definitely a worthwhile project! keep it up!
[Android Software Development] ly19870111:
thank you .
[Android Software Development] foreguiver:
Same for me (I'm French) :rolleyes:
[Android Software Development] Tsuneku:
Same here. Htc Desire GSM with OwnhereDesireHD, same issue with file linked or downloaded from market.
[Android Software Development] Tsuneku:
Wll, now work: fix permissions with rom manager and restart, first launch is a little beat slow but after work fine.
[Android Software Development] djemm1996:
why it wont work on htc tattoo? I've use 2.2.1 framework. But it just give me black screen and then application not responding. :(

EDIT: I just had to reboot my phone. now it works. But how can i add icons on start screen?

EDIT2: Found how to add icons.

Have to make QVGA resolution support. :)

Waiting for updates.
[Android Software Development] JahmanSoldat:
Waiting for the Zune Player! ^^' is this in your plan?

notifications

so this is exactly what i have been looking for. just trying to figure out how to pull notification bar down. currently have to open an app then pull the bar down?
[Android Software Development] Neffstarr:
yep still not working on Samsung Vibrant
[Android Software Development] || Acer ||:
could you please send me the most recent .apk?

thejet22@gmail.com

thanks
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
The notification bar is a push and pop. Meaning when you touch it, it'll show up for 8 seconds, just like the actual device. If you are looking for the one with notification (ie new message, color change settings etc), that'll come in the next version soon.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Read the first post. There is a APK (lite) on there.
[Android Software Development] || Acer ||:
Oh. Wasn't sure if that was recent
[Android Software Development] JQwerty91:
I hope the OP doesn't leave us in the dust and instead find a way to fix the FC's on the Samsung Galaxy S. It's a potential gold mine that has yet to be exploited. For now i'll keep on using Zune Home

Running Fascinate (Rooted + Super Clean ROM DJ05 ReVOlution)
[Android Software Development] bloodyhippo:
Three things.

One, this launcher is pretty. I like it, I'd buy it when it's got things that I want it to have.

Two, adding anything else to the homescreen really kills it. It would be really nice to have an option to change the icon inside the tile to whatever I want (It would be unfair to ask YOU to make all those icons, right?)

Three, even if the original WP7 UI shows user apps in a list, please, PLEASE add an option to display apps in a grid. It's really annoying to have to scroll down and read app names.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
The answer to your problem is 'HelloStatusBar' Its an app icon you tap on and it pulls your bar down. So pin it as a tile and away you go!

You can find it in the market.
[Android Software Development] 570091D:
works on my vibrant with axura 2.1, a few force closes but i managed to trip up my friends with wp7 phones :D

this is a great app but i'd like to see faster transitions before i'd use it as my normal launcher; and i'd be willing to pay then too ;)

thx for the app!
[Android Software Development] narddog:
Looking forward to the update!
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Thanks.

1. Keep a eye out for changes coming this weekend.

2. We will not be supplying icons. We will soon add ability to change your own icon. Not this weekend though.

3. :D We have no intention of changing things from original UI feel. We will add more features to mimic more features and such as much as we can. Put it this way, this is not like a regular application. We are re-do a launcher. It's like adding a ton of apps in one.
[Android Software Development] rafalko:
Does this will be a galaxy s - working update?
[Android Software Development] cashyftw:
So ready for the Update!

Galaxy S ;]
[Android Software Development] JQwerty91:
Me too! Theres like what? +3 million Galaxy S sold around the world. If the Dev can fix the FC im definitly buying 2 WP-Android. One for me and one for my lady.
[Android Software Development] Conversed:
i agree that you should focus on bringing as much of the wp7 experience as possible to the launcher first, keeping it the way it was intended... but i also think, that in the future you should add more options (eg applications grid, custom backgrounds, 3 rows on homescreen...)

although i like how wp7 looks very much, it's not perfect and sometimes just not practical

keep up the work!
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Without actual hardware to test, it's hard to figure out the FC issue. We patched a few more "bugs" and adding in some features for the weekend update. Going to flash one of the Nexus Ones with custom sense UI to see if we can duplicate some issues.
[Android Software Development] JQwerty91:
If you'd like I could beta test for you
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
I'll pm you in the morning.
[Android Software Development] cashyftw:
Update, Update, Update ;] It's Sunday! Lol I'm just eager.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
We're trying to shoot out an update today. We'll see what we can do. So far, we added multiple and correct color (went to the MS store to confirm with Dell Venture Pro). Took care of more battery and some FC issues. Tested physically so far on 4 different androids.

Working on notifications.
[Android Software Development] cashyftw:
Can't wait, I'm going to a party tonight, and want to show off to my friends!
[Android Software Development] cbux5000:
Is there a list of which applications have a custom white icon? I was happily surprised Google Voice had an icon but disappointed that Google Talk didn't.
[Android Software Development] onelegchair:
Problems

Just a Black Screen then FC on my Droid.
[Android Software Development] shobon:
Works great on my Aria, keep it up :D
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Before I get into this let me say that some Droids and majority of Samsungs are still having issues. We will get to them. This is a quick update before the week starts. No updates this weekend. Update will come this week. Most likely Monday or Tuesday. We are testing out some issues and still finishing up on some much asked for features.

What will be included:

Lite:

# of tiles to be set at 15.

slide swipe (left/right) from pro - currently it jumps between screen when swiped

notifications (sms/mms/missed calls etc)

full actual colors on tiles and notice area

Regular:

# of tiles to be set at 265 (yeah fill them up) :D.

notifications (sms/mms/missed calls etc) we want to include market and email notices (thus the delay).

full actual colors on tiles and notice area

On tile notices (number overlay on phone, sms,mms etc).

Whats not going to work: Due to the fact that every Tom, **** and Harry decide to build an ROM (I am talking about HTC/LG/Samsung/Motorola etc) and decided not to keep things the same (some OEMs call phone app "Phone", some call it "Telephone"), some are stock google, com.google.phone (not really) etc., some will get that tile notices, some will not. We are sticking to AOSP roms for now.

We took care of some issue with battery and timer threading and major FC screwup on my side -- there are 2 developers. :) My fault on that.

Future plans -- movable tiles, custom tiles (no we will not make more tiles. Make your own). tiles that fills up the whole tile area (custom tiles will look good in there). Some other things are also being discussed but we'll see about those later.
[Android Software Development] orsel:
hey, i don't have any white icons on my (german) samsung galaxy s. only the blue tile with the original icon from the app-list - so pretty ugly. any idea how to change this?
[Android Software Development] augie7107:
Works fine on SE X10.

I am enjoying the look of this launcher and it's transistions are smooth.

Communication from developers is excellent also.

It is extremely refreshing to be kept informed, contrary to SE which keeps people guessing all the time.

Nice work!
[Android Software Development] devlp1213:
I don't remember reading this in here but are we going to see 2x1 and 1x2 tiles by chance?
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Yes. not anytime soon but they'll come.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
It's one of those things that I mentioned earlier. We are looking for a few things to currently replace the icon. One of them is name of the app. Most likely your app is not named the same way the English version of AOSP files are named. Tile replacement is the next major feature you guys will see. It's not in this upcoming update but the next one.
[Android Software Development] purian23:
Eagerly awaiting the release too.. and I want to say thanks for the hard work agian. With the new notifications.. I'll definately be using it most of the time .. :) It's awesome you're so responsive to the project, keeps it going well.. I'm already supporting the paid version for you guys. Thanks again
[Android Software Development] devlp1213:
kewl thanks
[Android Software Development] matt992:
how could you give me an update on the next release im eagerly waiting for it :)
[Android Software Development] cashyftw:
I'll beta test :D
[Android Software Development] sstenhjem:
I have this same problem. I chose to make default and now just loops in FC.
[Android Software Development] dannyschmanny:
@sstenhjem

Reboot into recovery and restore a backup.
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
Or boot into safe mode and uninstall
[Android Software Development] purian23:
It's Here !!

Update is out folks :) Many thanks to the developers !!!
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
I'm loving this update! The tiles seem so much richer in colour, and the launcher seems to run so much smoother. Love the tile colour choices. I wish the status bar could disappear after 6 seconds like in the previous versions. O well, we all can't get everything we want. Great job so far dev's, thank you, and keep up the good work.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
The status bar (signal, battery) will disappear after 10 seconds. A little compromise between us (stock 8 sec) and people who wants it on ALL the time. As for the notification bar (colored) it's sticking on (unlike the true WP7). If the demand is there on the full version, we can hide it after 10 seconds too.

Thanks for the support everyone. :)
[Android Software Development] trax26:
hi seraph1024

congratulation for this app

realy nice job dude

but i don't see the app on the market...

how to get the pro version?

I am really interested

thanks
[Android Software Development] cashyftw:
Wohoo update! :D But it's not showing in the market.
[Android Software Development] TheMaverick:
I still can't see it in the UK market.
[Android Software Development] shadowpyro:

[Android Software Development] rafalko:
Does it works on galaxy s?
[Android Software Development] narddog:
New update is working good. I'm not getting missed call and sms notices in the tiles tho, just on the top notice bar. Using the paid version too.
[Android Software Development] shadowpyro:
Sorry, we only tested it out on stock Google Nexus One. We are getting some reports from people that are using the HTC devices. We will be pushing out a patch soon.
[Android Software Development] shadowpyro:
It should. We have not tested it yet. I do hear that Samsung devices take like 1 min. to start up.
[Android Software Development] augie7107:
Paid version here also on X10.

No tile notifications but is in notification bar.
[Android Software Development] JQwerty91:
The non-galaxy s' yeah. For the galaxy s phones, WAP forcecloses everytime. :(
[Android Software Development] devlp1213:
bout the status bar y not just add an option in settings to either to disappear after a certain time our stay on
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
We are not going to make the status bar (time, signal meter etc) stay on all the time. It's not on WP7. We are going to keep it this way.
[Android Software Development] bonanzabucks:
Update from last time (about a week ago). Working MUCH better since the last update. For it to be stable on my Samsung Epic, it has to be set it up as the default launcher. It has forced closed maybe once. Other than that, it's working good. A little laggy at times, but with a few more updates, it will be great.
[Android Software Development] matt992:
hey tiles are working on the nexus one :) just wondering if there was a way to get all notification that are suppose to be in the notification bar on this like 3rd party apps n such

thanks

[Android Software Development] fizfaka:
working at x10 mini but resolution need to fix for LDPI screen.
[Android Software Development] _Pink:

Just not used to it in general.

Sticking with LauncherPro sorry ):
[Android Software Development] cokata:
Doesn't install on gingerbread hd2
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Hahaha. Love this. Ultimate hack I guess. What flavor of build is your 2.3.1 is that for your HD2. I am still using the Froyo rom that runs in the RAM. :D

Can you define what's wrong with it? It's working well on our LDPI test screen (T-Mo Comet)... considering the screen and the speed. :)

This is not like a traditional Launcher at all. It's ok. LP is a great launcher. There are many other launchers that are great. We build this to simulate the feel of WP7. It took us a while to get used to the real WP7 launcher. Now we just love the way how information can just be consumed rather than searched within the phone. Don't get us wrong. WP7 has a pretty unique way of organizing and displaying your information. We are nowhere close to that level. We do however believe that as it stands WPA does have a decent interface for us to quickly switch between a few apps quickly (much quicker than stock ones). WPA currently as it stands, should be a tool to make your transition smoother to WP7 devices or at least give you a general idea of what WP7 somewhat behaves so if your buddy hands you a WP7 phone, you'll not be lost. It's like a kid's go cart to a real car type of feel. In the mean time, enjoy LP.
[Android Software Development] cokata:
@seraph1024 mdj 0.8(2.3.1).i will try with DS super ram
[Android Software Development] fizfaka:
The icon at the tiles is to big until it look ugly, the apps list also the same. The icon dont align very well. The speed is good. I would not use until the icon resolution fix.
[Android Software Development] gagaohlala:
Hello, i test this launcher and i think it's very good ! If this launcher will be more reactif and more stable, with the animated icone and actualisation real time and more transition effect, it will be perfect !

When this launcher will be complet, after a test, i will buy it if I can buy with Paypal ;D

Thank you and SORRY for my english :( I'm french
[Android Software Development] Mitiko78:
but as it installs on a galaxy s ???
[Android Software Development] Prof-KOS:
Thanks for this. It's quite a neat little project. I hope you guys keep going with this.

I bought the Pro version, but I'm not seeing any notifications (tile or otherwise).

I can think of three things that would make this a real contender as a launcher.

- The ability to rearrange tiles

- Option for Double size tiles

- Option for custom icons/tile art

These are pretty basic, so I'm sure you are already thinking about them or have thought about them. Thanks again for the great work.
[Android Software Development] purian23:
Hey guys, were you still gonna put a patch out for some of the HTC devices, I have an Evo..the tile notifications aren't showing up. Just wondering if it'll be the patch or the next version.

Thanks
[Android Software Development] Deyronusa:
Is your captivate rooted? I want to install on a nonrooted device. any insight?
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
We'll make a patch for Sense UI phones for notifications.
[Android Software Development] TooSlo:
I'm definitely seeing improvement on this launcher and will likely be using it full time once notifications for sense roms are I'm place and we can use custom icons to match the wp7 style icons.

Cheers mate!
[Android Software Development] mrsaalalaa:
لا يمكن العثور في السوق
[Android Software Development] JQwerty91:
Hmmm im starting to think why WAP isn't working on USA based Galaxy S phones is because we aren't running Froyo. On my rooted phone im running custom 2.1 roms and WAP still isn't working. Same went for stock 2.1.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
WPA still have "issues" with 'some' samsungs, droids (motorola) and some god only knows what brands. Why? Who knows? All I can say for now is "All androids are created equal. Some are created more equal than others." Most likely samsungs are going thru the blank screen issues. Some reported that once blank screen appeared and FC, you can go back and it runs fine. Some says it crashes.

Without an actual hardware, we can not test it and see whats happening. A logcat of the issues may help us figure out some errors. We are not ignoring the issues. It's just that we can not support everything. We WILL support samsungs and droids. There are a few million users. :) on those phones.
[Android Software Development] JQwerty91:
Thanks for the reassurance lad. I'm planning on testing WAP thru many available ROMs and see which would work best for at least the fascinate users. As soon birdmn releases a custom gingerbread rom i'll try it on that too. But yeah if you need any tests on my fascinate ill do it. Need testers anyways
[Android Software Development] jeffdude123:
Does anyone have a video of this launcher in action?
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Thank you. We always welcome testers. We can't own every Android phones out there. :)

First post yes. There has been much improvements since. We'll make one this coming weekend if there is a demand for it... perhaps with instructions on how to use it and compare it to real WP7 :)
[Android Software Development] eagle06:

I can help too ;)

I'm very impatient, when this launcher will be stable and reactif I will install it on my Galaxy s

[Android Software Development] matt992:
hey i purchased the app from the market earlier this week and today i got a message that said it wasnt valid as the pro app and reverted back to the free version? reinstalled and it still doesn't have the pro features can you fix this please
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
This is the deal. The Pro=Regular (paid version). You need data connection to check in with google to make sure it is a vaild version. We are making some patches to that. Bottom line is that it'll get more userfriendly (works better) but anti-piracy features will not go away. Just went to 2 pirate sites, one has over 3k views, another has another 2500. That's not good :( if you are a developer.
[Android Software Development] jmiller99:
This is a great app that holds lots of promise for the future. My only suggestions would be making the tiles into live tiles. For instance have the number of unread emails and sms messages appear on the tiles. Great job so far and good luck.
[Android Software Development] matt992:
that id perfectly understandable and i its just an inconvenience to have to repin tiles and such ... i had my 3g enabled when i got the error
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
We are aware of the issue and we are going to do a patch so that issue will be resolved hopefully this weekend. We are fixing some major system issues (regarding speed).

For those that have Samsung devices, we just bought a Samsung vibrant for testing. We now have N1, Vibrant, Optimus One and Comet to test. Not sure if we want to keep the Vibrant but we'll at least make sure it runs ok on Vibrant before we get rid of it. :) We have also noticed that Samsung have extra "features" in terms of UI enhancements that other 2.1/2.2 androids lack. Although features looks amazing on screen, they may cause some issues in terms of code unity between Androids. Like I said before, some androids are more equal than others... so...

Our hope is that if things runs ok on Vibrant, we can only assume that captivate will be running ok. If at that point it does not, blame it on Samsung and Google.
