HTC EVO

I have an HTC Evo (Rooted)

I installed from the APK listed on ur original post (which I'm assuming that you update the file with the newest file versions for easy access to people looking to download)...

It installed just fine... Then when I opened it I got a black screen -- then it force closed. I uninstalled for the time being, as it doesn't work. Any help is appreciated.

Android rules -- I love showing people how they can have any feature of an iPhone or Windows phone, along with having the openness of Android -- this would be a great app to show off to everyone :)
[Android Software Development] twistedelegance:
I really like this one but:

- it's very very slow on galaxy s, almost unusable..

- it'd be cool to be able to use custom icons and have 1x2 tiles.

I have the pro version
[Android Software Development] jase33:
Very nice. Works well on my HD2 running gingerbread. Although I'm not a huge fan of the metro UI, I think you have done a great job with this theme OP.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Took a break for a few days. It runs fairly quick on my vibrant now. :) Next version will not have features but will have major speed update to samsungs devices. Tests were done exclusively on vibrant. Should make some of you people happy. Release soon (hopefully before the new year).
[Android Software Development] irule9000:
i love this app, unfortunately cant use it because i have a bricked epic. Phone is screwed up + there are driver issues on the phone itself. If anyone has any expierience please pm me.( sorry to spam this thread)
[Android Software Development] JQwerty91:
What happened that caused the FC's on Galaxy S's?
[Android Software Development] pyromatic18:
Force closes often with the Xperia X10 and is really slow.
[Android Software Development] devlp1213:
anychance we will get an option to still atleast be able to pull down the notification bar? sucks I have to navigate like 3 windows to turn wifi on and off when all I have to do is pull down the noti. bar

edit: also more background color choices?
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
turn on/of wifi? Check it out when the next version comes out....

as for background color -- apart from black and white? uh... when WP7comes out with more options, I will.
[Android Software Development] TheMaverick:
I want to buy the full version, but still eagerly waiting for it to appear on my Android Marketplace.
[Android Software Development] TooSlo:
I've seen some improvements in the app so far, but I still can't get past not having custom icons and being unable to move tiles.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
It will come. Remember, we have to make things similar and yet different from the original.

For now, a sneak peak of 1.3

http://www.youtube.com/androidtechnical#p/a/u/0/bF4mpSFIjTw

I can tell this for a fact. It's fast on both N1 and Samsung Gal. S. Vibrant (stock POS ROM)
[Android Software Development] devlp1213:
u took a a 4 click process to turn on wifi to a 6 click process.... *sigh* time to buy another javascript book and buy app book....
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
You don't need a book. But here is a good place to start:http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html

If you are in Chicago area, we also provide android programing training from beginner level and up.

For the record, we can make it into a 2 click process. The aim is to simulate the feel of the WP7 process, both the good and the bad. Anyone here is of course more than welcome to start making your own app. It's not that hard. We do that for a living. This is our weekend project.... And finally we encourage everyone to get an actual wp7 device. No we are not kidding. www.windowsphone.com Our androids are used for tethering only.
[Android Software Development] losty-1H:
High five

Great work, simple and clean.. Ofcourse i could wish more features on the windonsandorid lanucher.

keep it up!
[Android Software Development] Gynjanynja:
Doesn't work on rooted froyo G2 touch (htc hero) even overclocked to 691 mhz.
[Android Software Development] JQwerty91:
Awesome update. Any chance we will see 2x1 tiles anytime soon?
[Android Software Development] Intercepter:
my first update since getting this to run on my Samsung Intercept and it force closes the market when trying to install. Shame because it seems to run well on my phone and have been looking forward to updates.
[Android Software Development] mufflerexoz:
I have question, why u selling this apps? its it illegal..? you just make a copy of WP7 series ui, but not originaly made the ui, just copy it... it should be free or u will be sued by m'soft if you sell it...u make diffrent but still have m'soft WP7 pattern ui... its so dangerous to sell other people work..... just curious...
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
Lol nice try.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
+1 haha
[Android Software Development] purian23:
Anyone realize 1.3.1 is out :)
[Android Software Development] pyromatic18:
I am still having problems with my Xperia X10, The app use to work for me in but since these updates all I get is a black screen and force closes!

Could you let me know that you have noted the problem with the X10 so I know that at least you know of my problems?
[Android Software Development] hedehode1:
I guess it is not really launcher application. When i clicked the back button this will be closing. i think hard back key must be same effect with on screen back soft button but not.

However it has very smooth usage and clear.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
in order for us to make it dual purpose, we coded it that way, if you want it as a true launcher, press home, set as launcher, reboot.

We know about droid, X10, still some samsungs, We don't have deep pockets for this project. Error logs would be useful.
[Android Software Development] pyromatic18:
How would I post an error log?

EDIT: Rebooting the phone seems to have fixed the problem, I just purchased the regular version and am getting the "This may have been pirated message," I have wifi enabled but cannot go to the settings page it tells me to go to, to re-validate.

help?
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
press the menu button, settings show up. Look at the how-to videos for help. :)

If you purchased the regular version, the piracy control is on Google market controlled.
[Android Software Development] pyromatic18:
I set the launcher as default then rebooted, I have pressed the menu button the settings dont come up. I cannot do anything with the piracy pop up on.
[Android Software Development] montyx:
Car Home

Hello,

Thanks for the lite version.

I've tried this on my Samsung i5700 Galaxy Spica, and working well. I use like a car home, because the big buttons, and I like it! :)

What is the different between the free version and the pro? Cuz I'm missing a clock with big characterset. I would like to read the time anytime. And I'm missing also a possibility to keep the screen on when the WP7A running.

Are these in the pro version?

And finaly thanks for your effort!
[Android Software Development] chimnmay_chelios:
Very slow on my tattoo running custom ROM, hope some tweaks will make it run more smoother on tattoo , but this UI looks great , keep up the great work :)
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Lite - ads, 15 icons, no tile notifications and pretty much the line will end there

Pro/Regular - 256 icons on main, tile notifications and more (coming down the line).

Lite is the base that pro/regular version is based on. Pro has more features.

As for the clock, you are not missing it. The clock is the only one that stays on. the rest will come and go as you touch in the area (like the real WP UI)

Pretty much lite will do what most people ask to do. Pro is like a thank you to the devs (forced donation) and in return, we give you more features. :) Enjoy.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Read my signature.

We'll try our best to support most android platforms. Not every android platform will run this smoothly. Also, custom roms can be bad depending on what they have on it. We currently hate Samsung ROMs in general.

We love vanilla roms.
[Android Software Development] kevin2516:
it worked fine on my wildfire running cm6.1 btw. :D
[Android Software Development] cellington77:
I was going to buy the pro version but I wanted to know when will some of the new features(tile notifications) be added?
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Tile notifications already there :) now GO BUY IT haha
[Android Software Development] cellington77:
Are the tile notifications for text messages only? I get notifications for texts but not email.
[Android Software Development] digitalcoder:
Should be phone, gmail, text.
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
May not work on the phone tile for everyone. That gets changed on a lot of roms. If you're running anything aosp, you should be good.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
:) what he/she said. We'll get to the samsungs and HTC sense devices soon. We got a few things we have to do to pay the bills ... like real jobs...
[Android Software Development] Logiic:
Bought the Regular/Pro version today but notifications don't seem to work on the tiles.

Default SMS works but I don't use default as my primary (mostly GO SMS or Chomp).

Will other messaging apps have tile notification support in the future?

Also, is there any work being done to try and incorporate live tiles like those in the real WP7 or will production on tiles stop at notification counters?

Rooted Incredible - CM6
[Android Software Development] tmhung:
How can i buy it ???? i like this app from u :)
[Android Software Development] kyota:
hello .. I bought your app today and I'm very glad to using this great app.

Thank you! .

I'm using Desire HD and with buzz kernel to over clock 1.5Ghz and stock ROM.

oh. My suggestion is .. Maybe slide icon can be more smooth and add some large icon background let us select.

Anyway... Good Job!! :D
[Android Software Development] kyota:
Hey~

Just search Android market . "Windows Phone Android" then you can find it.
[Android Software Development] cellington77:
I only get the text notification. No biggie though. I still bought the app. I'm using the Epic 4g with rooted stock 2.1.
[Android Software Development] devlp1213:
I've noticed in the wp7 settings, like the themes and what not, that you can't back out of the menu if you decide you don't want to change your theme or go to wifi/bluetooth. you hit back while in settings it just loops to your other opened apps instead of going back to the main tiles menu.is that another crazy wp7 thing that doesn't let you go back to the main menu or just a simple bug?
[Android Software Development] oskidee:
Works awesome for me. Using the EVO on froyo 2.2
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Aha... bug. Will take care of it next release. :) Thanks. I knew I forgot something.
[Android Software Development] revenge50:
Nice app dude,it works on my Xperia X8 :)

Android for the win
[Android Software Development] flopez76:
Wow! This is great! Keep up the good work! Will definitely buy the pro version
[Android Software Development] asqwrd:
some transition animations would make it feel smoother
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
I agree, animations would class things up. The "3" music app has the wp7 type animation is you use the "boring" theme. Something like that would be a wonderful compliment to an already amazing home screen.
[Android Software Development] wmqiadm:
I don't find the app in the market anymore
[Android Software Development] jjsoviet:
I love it.

The colors look a bit off though. The red comes out as orange, while orange becomes yellow for some reason. Still, a great app!
[Android Software Development] atoz350:
Add another Vibrant with slowness and plenty of FCs. I like the app, just can't use it.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Seem like we have an issue with Vibrant and Droid 1s. We need to have a device in hand to see what's up. We'll look into it. Going to find some friends with Vibs and Droid1s in the next couple of days. We have other items to code too (in terms of paying the bills).
[Android Software Development] N8ter:
Cute but not useful without something similar to live tiles to make up for the loss of widgets.
[Android Software Development] flopez76:
He's planning on adding it soon, I think? I could be wrong
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
We'll add it soon. Well, in the next couple of version... We have a few other things (back end wise) we need to add and fix first.
[Android Software Development] TheDoctor1177:
Another I noticed on my Eris, is the tiles don't line up perfectly. There are just a little off center, but I have no idea what could cause that.
[Android Software Development] jatk:
Works well on my hero, I was thinking adding the slide gesture to open the app menu like on windows phone would be a good idea?
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Already done. Another update coming soon. ;)
[Android Software Development] re960088:
can't find in the market

I can't find the app in the market either. using dell streak? can anybody post an apk link, thx
[Android Software Development] M..N:
Can't seem to find it on the market either
[Android Software Development] nailik0110:
It is also working fine on my x10 mini pro! just sometime it is lagging... =(.

I could help you testing, desgning and (a bit)coding!!
[Android Software Development] narddog:
Tiles still not aligning after update. Eris.
[Android Software Development] HenryTheX:
why i CANNOT find it in the market?

displayed: the requested item could not be founded.

droid, united kingdom, Three Mobile

could u send me the apk 4 me 2 use it?

Thank u :0
[Android Software Development] HenryTheX:
could anyone have the apk file for us?

Thanx!!!!~
[Android Software Development] jjsoviet:
I have some comments on this great app:

- Sometimes the info bar sporting the Wifi and 3G icons disappears unless pressed on. Will there be an option to display it permanently?

- The app always starts up when the home button is pressed, which could be quite annoying. Also, it doesn't exit when the home key is pressed again and instead stays there.

Hope these issues will be fixed. I love this home replacement app. :)
[Android Software Development] p1ayrTh3_Ru13:
i think the only difference between free and pro is that the free has only eight tiles while pro has unlimited tiles
[Android Software Development] shohid1234:
Hi just bought the app and I am really enjoying using it.

Couple of issues im sure you probably know already.

Any FC leads to WPA resetting, losing all tile configs, and while the lag has reduced, its can rear its ugly head once in a while.

As for the future I would really like to be able to move tiles, hide apps so I dont have a huge list to scroll and have easy access to notifications bar.

Overall this app is fantastic, keep up the good work!
[Android Software Development] EZY-E:
Animatins and informations

Can you create animations on homescreen and give some informations like number of missed calls and mails and weather?
[Android Software Development] revenge50:
hmm possible but maybe theyre other differences :S
[Android Software Development] IceDree:
Great app , waaaaaay better than my 2 attempts to make a Window Phone 7 like theme\look

I've found the lite version in the Android Market (Saudi Arabia) & i also updated it through the market

Works great , but :

1- when i reboot my phone I've to set\pin almost all the apps\tiles all over again

2- it kinda lags\stop responding when I exit\quit the camera & the Market

Can you add more custom white Icons in the next update , you know for the popular apps (i.e. Handsent SMS , APN android , Dolphin browser HD , you know ...)

Can you create a custom lock screen replacement like the Window Phone 7 have ?

Thank you so much for NOT adding the Stock status bar , like they wanted , Its ugly !!! I can't stand it (the main reason that I don't use Zune launcher)

Thank you for making such a great app & taking the time to improve & update it , much appreciated it

Motorola OG MileStone stock (with root access only , NO custom ROMS installed) 2.1-update 1
[Android Software Development] AlexRamallo:
why would anyone want anything that ugly on their beautiful android phone
[Android Software Development] skaterA223:
No need to post crude comments, its a user preference or just wanting something different
[Android Software Development] insaneturbo13:
great post! what a way to benefit the community to try new things!

[/sarcasm]

anyway, this is pretty neat, its actually really stable, but the whole thing behind wp7 is the pretty interface, and even though this is an extremely good start, all it lacks is the cute stuff, like animations, there are some minimal differences, but pretty darn close.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
We took a break this week. We needed it. We'll start with some updates and bug fixes next week. :) Thanks for the inputs.

As for the differences, yes there are some between pro and lite.

Mainly functionality. 15 tiles vs 256, ads, and ability to actually see the notifications on tiles are current differences. New features will only go on to the pro version. Full size tiles, ability to move tiles, so and etc. The whole thing started as a weekend project and proof of concept and well... it took us pretty far. Thanks for all your feedbacks and encouragements.
[Android Software Development] TooSlo:
Any idea when we might see notifications on sense based roms?
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Next update. We totally forgot about the differences in ROMS. We should be able to handle AOSP, SenseUI and TouchWiz. That's what happens when we go buy phones. :)
[Android Software Development] asqwrd:
will full size tiles and ability to move tiles be on the next update and also do u still plan on including live tiles?
[Android Software Development] TooSlo:
Rad, can't wait for the update!

Oh, one last question. Are custom tiles (read: icons) making it into a build soon?
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
"Live Tiles" are trade marked and patented by MSFT. We'll figure out something... have no intention of pissing off MSFT.
[Android Software Development] NXUSER:
Just wanted to add my thanks for your deveolopment of this launcher. Its very good and cant wait to see what you guys have in store.

Anyway thanks and keep up the good work!
[Android Software Development] pyromatic18:
You could call them smart tiles and not piss off MSFT
[Android Software Development] mikeeam:
Any chances of animation? And moving tiles are far now?

It would be nice to add lot of icons, and/or let the people decide the icon when pinning app.

Ah, guess it need to fix the back key in home that should do nothing and actually goes back somewhere, and the tiles sometimes show past events and doesnt refresh accurated.

But the whole app is the favorite idea i've seen . Congratz! (;

Edit:

You could try some 'Windows Phone Lockscreen'. Guess it would need root, but.. (:
[Android Software Development] augie7107:
Enjoyed this app so much I went out and purchased a WP7 device.

You should be on MS's payroll.
[Android Software Development] shohid1234:
lol, im on the verge of buying a wp7 phone as well.

been looking for a cheap hd2 so i can flash wp7 on.

back on topic, hows coding going? im really looking forward to the next update!
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
We have a few things coming up for WPA in the next coming week. I may do a quick update this evening for some speed improvement patches.

We have been busy. We also have our regular daytime paying jobs to do as well so thanks for everyone's support.
[Android Software Development] cellington77:
Thanks for the update. Do you have twitter to keep us updated a little faster?
[Android Software Development] shohid1234:
dude you should check out his signature (the thing at the bottom of his posts, sorry if that sounds condescending) its got his twitter handle.
[Android Software Development] cellington77:
I'm using the XDA app on my phone and I don't see his signature at the bottom of his posts.
[Android Software Development] cashyftw:
This needs to be updated :] Not the app, but whats going on.
[Android Software Development] mikeeam:
The app too (;
[Android Software Development] cellington77:
To bad I can't get a refund. I thought there would be faster updates. It feels like they may eventually give up on the app.

[Android Software Development] TooSlo:
Hopefully we will receive an update soon.
[Android Software Development] DannyBiker:
I'm sorry I bought this. This a lesson to learn to be patient...

Check Metro Ui...
[Android Software Development] pyromatic18:
Yeah, Metro UI is an actual dedicated project and it already is at quite a functional stage and its FREE! Wish I could refund now...
[Android Software Development] cellington77:
Metro UI just shows a black screen on my Evo.

[Android Software Development] Shadomastr:
You have to long press them in the app selection menu and enable them to be on the homescreen.

Wow, metro ui is really outstanding, very impressed. Thanks for the tip.

[Android Software Development] raptor92:
Fantastic, super...i like it!
[Android Software Development] mikeeam:
Agreed!

I have both! Metro UI have update all the time, and is a lot 'smoothier' than WPA. Besides, the developer of Metro UI really deservers a donate for his effort.

WPA is nice, yeah, but is abandoned.
[Android Software Development] TooSlo:
I've become frustrated with the dev. Lowered my rating to one star and encourage everyone else who paid to do the same until the dev shows he hasn't just made a buck and ditched his customers.

[Android Software Development] cellington77:
That's not the point. I paid for an app that was supposed to receive updates. We don't have wp7 on Sprint yet but I will get one when it releases.

Sent from my HTC Evo.
[Android Software Development] augie7107:
Don't knock it until you try it.

I had a X10, bought this app, liked it so much I bought a WP7 and I am very satisfied with it.

I'm not sure what happened to the devs of this app. They were very accessible and now it seems they have abandoned the app altogether.

Probably bought a WP7 also.
[Android Software Development] f0li0:
I bought this app today and i really like it. Im running Cyanogemod 7 nightly on my HTC Wildfire without a hitch its smooth and quick. I feel like the app is quite restrictive though. I understand its supposed to mimic WP7's UI but there are a lack of icons and you cant rearrange the tiles. After reading this thread from front to back im getting a sense of dread from everyone that the Devs have dropped this like a hot spud. Ive tried Metro UI but dont really like it that much. Hence why i went with this, although as i say im feeling a bit of regret now because of the lack of updates and any recent response or updates from the Devs on here. Ill keep checking anyway and hope they haven't dropped it to make a quick quid.
