Just installed the lite version on my Captivate and it seems to run fine. The tiles are not lining up properly though. Can't get the notification bar to be the same color as the tiles like in the screenshot.

Nice work though. Definitely interested to see how the pro version turns out.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
As for the status bar, it is the way stock WP7 acts. We will not be changing it. It takes 8 seconds for stock to disappear, ours does the same thing. No it's not a bug. We put it in to do just that. Looks like a video is needed just to show everyone actual features of WP7.

As for the home, are you using it as a stand alone app or home? If you are using it as home, you'll always get back to it. Thus home (launcher) replacement. If you don't want to do it, when you press home, you can select to stay with the original home. If that is the case, when you press home, it'll get back to your original home.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
This is on the first tile or last tile setup? We'll look into the manner.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
I don't mean to reply and quote 3 times....

Looking into the tile issue like I said. Notification bar only show up on certain cases. That is normal. Again, a video of how WP7 functions might be needed. ;)
[Android Software Development] russian roulette:
Cannot find it either, Droid X. Please post manual install .apk file.
[Android Software Development] Sozage:
Looks great.

I look forward to some neat transitions and live tiles!

I do find it runs a bit slow at times on my SGS though.

Oh yeah - it doesn't work the first time I try to run it through Home Switcher. I have to set it to default and then reboot for it to work.
[Android Software Development] M..N:
Anyone have a link to an apk for the lite version as it is not showing in the market
[Android Software Development] asqwrd:
Yea the first and last tiles are not aligned
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
Notification bar is great how it is. Keeping everything as identical as you can to wp7 is the right way to go. Once that is completed then you can add extra little things in, should you choose to. Moving on... the alignment problem is with the bottom tile, the one on the right, in my case. Wonderful start to a wonderful app btw!
[Android Software Development] russian roulette:
Or is it just that the people are reluctant to post the apk. so they can have it to themselves. Hello? It has been posted at least 5 times and nobody has responded.
[Android Software Development] svante38:
You need to unlock market, I had the same problem yesterday. Will post the lite apk here once pulled and uploaded.

Alright here is the link: hxxp://www[dot]multiupload[dot]com/T0LO48QILW (New users can't post links :()

If anyone asks me to take the link down I will do so. (would be a weird request since the app is free though).
[Android Software Development] jjsoviet:
Oh, I see. Sorry for my ignorance, then. Yeah, a tech demo might be a good idea to show users how the app works. :D

I use WPA as my default home, no wonder I couldn't exit my apps with just the home key. It would be nice though if WPA can somehow work with another launcher, so when you press the home key you could exit to the home screen, then another press would bring up the WPA app drawer. I dunno if this is possible, but just my idea. :)
[Android Software Development] russian roulette:
won't work on droid x
[Android Software Development] B-bal:
Thankyoou for the great app!

But can you make a support for mdpi screens?
[Android Software Development] SN4K3B1T3:
Droid x isnt 480x800 thats the only res it supports atm.

[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
i think it would be cool if someone made a wp7 type boot animation .
[Android Software Development] jjsoviet:
My Cliq is at 320x480 MDPI resolution and this app works really well.
[Android Software Development] :
and the biggest Problem, the Lockscreen. Widgetlocker could do that but isn´t reliable...
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
I can do boot animation on the Nexus one. There is a flip boot on the load (if you are not using it as launcher).

There are many things we want to do but not enough time in the day.
[Android Software Development] DannyBiker:
Well, you surely hit the Windows Phone UI and Faded Home projects quite hard by already offering something to play around with !:D

Of course, it's far from perfect and it is not usable as a replacement for the moment but with upcoming updates, it could grow into something quite interesting, especially if we can tweak it a bit (choose the tiles look, colours, etc).

With my mdpi and dated Magic, I thought that it would never run but was surprised that after a 30 sec boot time, it ran quitte well. It's actually super fast, which is something I'm always looking for in a launcher.

I hope you will dig into a more exhaustive experience with time (submenus, etc).

The tiles' alignement in not right on my Magic but I think little work will be enough to get a perfect experience on mdpi.

Following the thread and considering the purchase later...;)
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Hell dude , you guys have released like 3 or 4 updates in a day haha . I dont think we can ask anything more from you in a days time . Youre doing more than enough and we are all thankful . Im going to ask around the fascinate community to either learn how to make a boot animation or get one made . Perhaps if we all do something like that , we can all have a few options .

Thanks again for the work .
[Android Software Development] jatk:
I love the launcher! You've done a wonderful job

Some Ideas (I assume a lot may already be in the works):

1)Long press and then be able to move the apps around vs unpin and repining them

2)Notification bar that shows text notifications
[Android Software Development] DocMAX:
try to copy original wp7, do not add or remove things! the guys at microsoft did a good job. when will you add wp7 animations?
[Android Software Development] DonPanda:
Some things i wish :)

320 x 480 support. I would use it, but without status bar: no go.
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
it works well on my 320 x 480 device. The only problem is that it sometimes freezes my phone when I try launching an app or even when trying to go to the apps list screen.
[Android Software Development] devlp1213:
doesn't open on fascinate, all I get is a fc loop when trying to open it.
[Android Software Development] Geniusdog254:
Love it! A couple things that I think would be awesome though:

More notification support. Messages, GMail, GVoice, etc.

Option for custom backgrounds on tiles, maybe even a slideshow you could pick from your SD

The option to have double-width tiles. I.E- Instead of just having the tiles 1 block wide, be able to extend it to 2 blocks.

In the signal area, don't just show H for all 3G networks. An EvDo or just plain 3G logo would be nice

Animation transition on the swipe gesture to the app list & back!

If that tile one wasn't clear, I'm talking about something like the HTC Hub logo, that's double width.

Thanks for the hard work!
[Android Software Development] N8ter:
Lots of apps do. Blame samsung.
[Android Software Development] h_zee13:
Damn and I'm there trying to create a WP7 theme for my Nexus One......i'm really liking what you have done so far, like mentioned before, please add the notifications for sms, gmail, missed call....
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
I messed that all up, was saying it works great on my fascinate. Are you still stock?
[Android Software Development] matt992:
hey like the app but do you have a rough time line of when you mite have more features in the app i would like to buy it but i wont be using it much untill the live tiles and such are put into place
[Android Software Development] lemonspeakers:
Some suggestions:

1) Colors are OFF! Fix them. These colors are on the verge of being tropical red, green, yellow and orange. It's, honestly, not visually pleasing.

2) A finger swipe gesture to go from tile page to application page would be nice. I hate to touch only that little arrow. My thumb cant reach that arrow.

3) Can you list which applications come with icons you've made. It would be nice since apparently the stock browser doesn't have an icon to go with it.

So far I've found Marketplace, calculator, clock and camera to have nice icons you've made for them.

4) Animations would be nice. Like a slight bounce animation when you've reached the end of the tile list.

5) 12 hour clock please. I never enjoyed military time.

6) Make tiles that take up 2 tile space (ie, the picture and calendar both take up 2 tile space)

7) Lastly, the touch scroll doesn't react instantly. It takes a very, quick less-than-half-a-second to react to a scroll. Annoying but it can be better.

So far so good. Aside from the fact that the launcher feels dead and not very interactive, I like it. work on it and I'm sure to use it. And a lot of us here as well. =)
[Android Software Development] Shawheim:
android is so nice. i love this stuff. nice work.
[Android Software Development] devlp1213:
lol should of mentioned that I am deoxed. I didn't pick up any rom just grabbed a deodexed dump and delete bloatware via root explore and I'm themed
[Android Software Development] username3d3:
People have a lot of demands for not having to put hard work into the app. This is the same thing that happens with any app, no wonder people stop development early. Show him some thank you money early and maybe he'll put in the updates asked for. He said he would add improvements with more updates, and he just released the app 2 days ago. He already gave us 3 updates since it was released, I think he has done enough so far. Thanks to the developer, and take your time dude!
[Android Software Development] SN4K3B1T3:
I like his attitude people need to chill right out!! Hes a human and probably has a life...which doesnt include every minute of his day is dedicated to doing absolutley everything you ask on here..if you dont like it and its too slow..just stop and think for a second...its in v1.0.1...then ask yourself...could i build this app? Could i make it perfect in the first release? If you answered no to either of them then stop pestering him with picky insults and demands that in reality you could never do yourself...so there

[Android Software Development] dannyschmanny:
@lemonspeakers

2 and 5 are already in there. 2 doesn't have an animation for it right now, but you CAN swipe over. 5 is able to be 12 hour, at least on my EVO it is. last agree with some of the others. This has only been out for 48 hours with promises from the get go of what they are working on, so hang in and enjoy the updates as they come. (there have been like 3 or 4 in the first day and a half.)
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
You should consider a rom. I use jts super clean dj05 rom. Not only does it improve .....everything, it allows this fantastic app. :-D
[Android Software Development] N8ter:
Any type of live tiles will probably kill ir battery since im sure he wont be using c2dm for them...
[Android Software Development] timmy16744:
maybe it would be neat if you could allow users to create their own tiles? either through making us code it ourselves (for those who know how) or maybe have a page where you pick what application you want the tile for then point the tile to the feed to listen too for notifications. just a suggestion though. loving everything you've done so far keep it up
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
A little update...

We took a break from this and will rework on this on Friday. We see a lot of request on normally the same things. Live tiles, animations, long tiles and hubs.

There are still issues with the app as we speak. We are seeing some scroll issues (smoothness). We are also aware of the tile that does not line up on 320x480 res screens. Overall not working on Fascinate at all. Right now, we will not be supporting it. We don't have the phone to test it. A ton of people are crying about seeing the black screen (on the reviews). We are guessing they don't know how to read or never seen how a WP7 function in real life. So a detailed video on how to use this thing will be needed.

First feature we will add will be status updates (both on status bar as well as notice bar area). Before we do that, we will be revamping the icons so that they do not 100% look like WP7. Last thing we need is MSFT calling us. We will then look at live tiles. As for the live tiles, we will do some form of it. Meaning regular stuff like Phone, Emails, messages, people (point to contacts) will be made. Nothing is set in stone and things may change.

For double tiles, they will come later. We have some ideas on some "hub" like apps but that's way further down. Baby steps. We have other ideas as well but all will come slowly. Put it this way, MSFT has a whole staff working on WP7 for a whole year. We have 2 people working at nights -- so far for a week or so ;) And their OS is made to do what it does. We are "re-making" it and although things are there coding in C#/WPF/Silverlight on Visual Studio is way different(better) than doing it in Eclipse. But we'll get them done. At the same time, we don't want to make it 100% or better than WP7. We already have our WP7s. we just want something to make Android do things quicker for us on essential things (like checking mail, calling people, looking at photos, twitter etc). Really commercial comes to mind.... :D

But keep up the good work with requests. Request and bug reports are good. Just understand that things will come but not going to happen overnight.

That's it.

Thanks All.
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
You are most certainly welcome :)
[Android Software Development] bbbbqq:
the tiles don't show the proper icons right now. the people, messages, etc are showing the default android icons.

Can't wait until you have this one done.
[Android Software Development] TooSlo:
I'm not sure why, but I am having really terrible lag when using the app on my HTC EVO.

After adding 5 or more tiles, I start to see lash that makes the phone unusable. I've restarted the phone after setting it as the default launcher (so sense wouldn't load) and still found that I'm getting the same behavior.

I'm more than happy to check if there are certain actions that spawn the lag, but that will have to wait until tomorrow, I'm exhausted right now.

Cheers!
[Android Software Development] jjsoviet:
I love the sincerity and dedication this team has going on. Keep up the good work! It's better if you release the app in slow, incremental stages rather than rushing through everything to get everyone appeased. Quality work is what's the most important here. Glad you guys are here at XDA, we'll be rooting for this app to skyrocket in popularity. :D
[Android Software Development] jabooni:
Thanks svante38 for posting the link! I'm really happy with the app, although it lags sometimes. The misalignment thing happens for the bottom row of tiles in my phone. I'm using the international version of the Galaxy S. I'm looking forward for more features to come:)
[Android Software Development] pappalove:
on market, there appears to be two versions. one for free,and one costing £1.90. Is this the pro version? Blank screen on my desire....please help
[Android Software Development] kevin2516:
Tap the arrow on black screen. Tap and hold an app to pin to first screen.
[Android Software Development] pappalove:
Thanx kevin
[Android Software Development] pappalove:
love this.....more tiles please guys. Can't wait for pro version
[Android Software Development] brendanmurphy:
Running like **** on my milestone/droid running on cyanogen 6.1. Soo laggy and unusable at this point but I am really excitded to see where you go with this. Maybe even a messaging app similar to wp7 incorperated?
[Android Software Development] devlp1213:
that's kewl about the fascinate I understand I'll try and see if I can find what seems to be missing from bone stock causing fc's and I'll get back. but tested on a friend moment and really liked this and I'm def. going figure this or for fascinate lol
[Android Software Development] cortk:
I think this is excellent. Long program names don't display properly though at the moment when pinned.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
We don't really know why some things are happening. It seems like the app crashes completely on stock ROM Samsungs. Most of the feedbacks says that way. Droid1 are slow regardless of ROMs. Welcome to Android fragmentation. We will support what we can. We will work with people to help with things like Droid1. For samsung owners, we recommend changing ROMs at this moment. No support for Samsungs till we get a device to test and we are looking at too many phones on our table.

As for long program names, there is currently a glitch. The real WP7 shows up as one line on the pinned tile and if it is too long, it'll cut it off. We will do the same thing.
[Android Software Development] xda2_haseeb:
Nice Work! Has potential but for now isn't of much use :)
[Android Software Development] HenryTheX:
I'm using milestone, and if there was any need, just tell me to test or something:-
[Android Software Development] bazinga:
Works great of the TMOUS HD2! Very clean and responsive :D Great!

Look forward to future updates!
[Android Software Development] /rant/:
Well, this is just hilarious! I will definately buy it once the smooth transitions are available. I'm not ditching HTC Sense at all, but seriously... :D

A friend of mine bought the HTC Mozart and I am looking forward to seeing her face once she sees my HTC Desire running this. Those two phones are virtually brother and sister anyway :eek:

A lot of work has to be done, but mainly implement those transitions and you're gonna win big time. Good luck and keep us posted with updates in the market.

$Edit: Yeah, it runs perfectly smooth on HTC Desire 2.2 ;)
[Android Software Development] lele5800:
Good apk..can we change icons? any possibilities for dinamic icons live wp7 ?

android is better !!

sorry for my bad english
[Android Software Development] davidstre:
Thanks alot for this. it is working on my fascinate, though i received some force closes initially. it intermittently hangs, but great job.

im running 2.2 with DJ05
[Android Software Development] loliman:
I found it in the market yesterday using miui (german) - but now (using oxyigen (english)) its gone... :( any suggestions why? :-/
[Android Software Development] svante38:
Most likely, it does not have market unlocked. Take a look a few pages back, I posted a link to the APK there.
[Android Software Development] ganjaweed:
would like to try it too but cant find it on the market.Can someone kindly post it here.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Look above. I don't really have an issue with the lite version floating around. :) Thanks for the support.
[Android Software Development] Intercepter:
Samsung Intercept nothing but force closes :(
[Android Software Development] scrminsqrl:
i wanna try the pro version but both the reg and lite say "the requested item could not be found." the lite version is garbage sorry, the icons are horrendous, and i understand its still beta but where's the customization at? i tried adding them hoping they'd turn out to be windows icons like in the video but they are just android icons in a lil colored box...
[Android Software Development] maveric3475:
i was praying for someoneto do this. bought this without even trying it.

most pleasantly surprised that i didnt have to give up my beloved htc weather animation. it runs beautifully over it via widgetlocker. :p
[Android Software Development] ganjaweed:
Cant even find the full version on the Market.Thanx anyway

It's works fine on my Vibrant. I'm running eugene's macnut R14 final.

AWESOMENESS :)

Simply great. i was thinking of buying Windows Phone 7... now no need :D

I LOVE YOU ANDROID :)

Please add widgets support too. Then it will be the BEST

good luck and will certainly support paid version when more features come... hurray :)
[Android Software Development] deepakoffline:
on htc desire.... the back button takes you to the original/default launcher :(
[Android Software Development] ssimmmo:
Works great on the desire HD will be buying the pro version once you

Developed it more be really. Android just great and there me thinking

Shall I go buy HD7 naaaa not now

[Android Software Development] dns2k:
i like the launcher clean and simple.. some FCs on Cyno Droid @800mhz but only a few... but i would like swipe on lite version to the app drawer so i can show my friends. i think the more tiles is great for the reg and live widgets and more for pro.

edit: forgot to say when pro is avail you'll have my $upport

-dns
[Android Software Development] ok11:
I love the concept. I tried it on my Desire Z as a standalone and it was working fine. I wish it could be a widget type of app that can run within another UI like Launcher Pro and not have to close it after playing around with it :)

Great work though. I think its worth the effort and I hope to see many more improvement and cool features added in the future.
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
Rebooting the phone fixes that. But pressing back after phone reboot now takes me to my last used app, usually browser lol
[Android Software Development] heisven:
Not a bug. A feature.

This is exactly what windows phone 7 does. back button on the homescreen: last app used / last setting changed. God damn i got to sell my wp7 phone again.
[Android Software Development] nickislauw:
could be verry much better.. its a nice start:)
[Android Software Development] exadeci:
Couldn't find it on the market I got it from the link and when it start there are no default tiles on screen and when I add phone or market it gets ugly with default icon and not the tile one.

It needs a shortcut on the menu button press to settings of the phone and well tiles for most used market apps

[edit] I found out why, it's because my phone was in french so the app don't have the same title
[Android Software Development] darkstar516:
Omg wow thanks for wiki cap
[Android Software Development] mufflerexoz:
Dear developer, please make us can customize the tile icon with our icon... please....

love your apps... that so great.. wait so long for this came out, works on my froyo 2.2 Samsung Galaxy 5 / i5500.

i changed my screen density on my phone, is there anyway for the launcher to work while my density is smaller, all my icons do not fit and are chopped off
[Android Software Development] MadFlava:
I read through 10 pages and stopped. I applaud you guys for doing this but arent you concerned with whats going to happen to the people that pay for this software when you get your C&D notice from Microsoft? I give it 2 weeks tops and that might even be optimistic.
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
Hmm, thanks for informing me. Now that i know its a feature, let me see if I can view this in a positive way lol
[Android Software Development] pixiebob:
i'm not lucky not working on spica.

please i need this on my spica and they are lot person how have this cheap phone.

thanks i would pay for this

which link did you get it from? thanx
[Android Software Development] BarnOwl:
It's working on my Desire with newSense DHD baadnwz RC2 rom but I like to get more features:

It's not taking the right icons in another language

Customisable icon sizes

Changing background of icons into pictures

Bottom menu as by real O.S.

A great start anyway, now the rest!
