[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] maxtcee:
i have smart keyboard but its not there is there a special way to turn them on?

Edit I figured it out
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Garret:
? My Greek Galaxy Tab has a hide keyboard button. Stock Vodafone Rom.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] le3ky:
daniel.weck can you take a screen in landscaper view pls?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] firesq38:
I hit the little setting button on the keyboard and turned on vibrate on keypress
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] paulshields:
I like the new editing options and it has nicer colours, though find the keys a bit small. Shame they can't be increased like in smart keyboard pro. Will run with it a bit longer to see if I can get used to it.

[edit] removed pic as daniel has added it to his first post.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] daniel.weck:
I added the landscape screenshot to the 1st post, thank you ! :)

Please note that I use LCD Density of 200 instead of the standard 240. I'm not sure how the keyboard looks with other settings.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] paulshields:
I use LCD density of 200 too so our captures match up :).

Can't get it to do haptic touch despite setting it, but it's not something I usually turn on so no biggy.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] je2345:
well i installed the keyboard like u directed in the Verizon Galaxy Tab and it works perfect. Only downfall is the font is pretty small for a 7in screen. I dled the LCD Density app from market that requires root and changed it to 200 from default 240 and all my font for the whole device went much smaller but the keyboard did look better. Is there anyway to just change the LCD density for the keyboard to make that font bigger and not shrink the Whole Tab's font. Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] plasmathrower:
Confirm +1. No haptic. 2/3 the size of Samsung keyboard. Easier to use if you're used to an iphone or something with baby keys. Personally I need the bigger keys so its keyboard pro for me.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] crater:
The Menu button on every android phone can be held to either show or hide the on screen keyboard.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] jay_jay_n:
i wish with every firmware i've tried it doesnt =\
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Uprightmusic:
I love this keyboard but why do the keys show up so small on the Galaxy Tab? Is there a way to make the keys larger?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
pros cons on this over the standard one?

At the moment im using better keyboard

Android Technical --

Android Technical just published "Windows Phone Android", a windows phone metro UI launcher for android. The lite version is now in the Android Market.

Lite version include:

Pin to front page tiles

remove from front page

uninstall apps

dark and lite themes

4 accent colors (Blue, Green, Red and Orange)

limited messages (on message area at the top of the screen)

status bar with mobile signal, wifi, bluetooth, battery status etc.

informational tiles, animated screens, status messages and other features will be included in the regular versions.

At the end of the day, if you really want a Windows Phone, you should go get one. You can get one here from Microsoft.

Side Note: You may choose not to install it as a launcher (choose default home as launcher) and the application will act in stand alone manner.

Android Technical (@droidtechnical) - @lmaung - @kluesman

Demo video : http://www.youtube.com/androidtechnical#p/a/u/0/3yvIVfRdM1w

I will send out the APK link to those with screwed up ROMs. People update the market on your ROM first. It'll fix WPA not showing up as well a there may be other apps missing from your list....

[Android Software Development] narddog:
Not too bad! Now i know it states for screen res of 480x800, and my eris's screen is smaller, but can you fix the tiles misalignment? It seems the first and last row shift to the left just the slightest. This is what i have been waiting for!
[Android Software Development] kevin2516:
I love you android.
[Android Software Development] dangerous93:
It look GREAT!! I hope that you won't leave your nice project!
[Android Software Development] castro65:
i dont see any tiles.

just a black or white background and the arrow.

htc desire with miui 0.12.3.
[Android Software Development] dangerous93:
you have to go on app list, then hold an app and add on screen
[Android Software Development] dnguyen1988:
So far looks and works pretty good cant wait to check out the pro version! I really hope u stick with it
[Android Software Development] Sk17z0:
Confirmed and working on the Tmobile HTC G2 2.2 stock. Now my phones screen looks like my wifes HD7. I cant wait to show her. LOL. I cant wait for the updates and pro version. Good work on this app.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
There is a bug on the first tile issue. We'll look into it. We also noticed that we have issues with ldip (240x320) devices too. :) Thanks for the feedbacks so far.
[Android Software Development] Rsloan:
Looking Gr8 thank you I have been try to achieve this look all month!! please keep us posted with updates looking forward to donate version! :cool:
[Android Software Development] jamez243:
on my vibrant 2.2 loading the full list of apps as well as pinning to start is just too slow. Is this only on mine?
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Works amazingly. Nice and fast on 2.1 fascinate. Thank you so so much. Can't wait for pro version
[Android Software Development] TheDoctor1177:
I'm loving this launcher, and I've been looking forward to someone doing this. I've tried the light version and anticipating the pro versions, but I was just wondering (if you haven't already thought about it yet) are you going to make it able for the user to chose it's own tiles to represent an app. For example, I don't use android messenger, I use handcent. So when I pinned Handcent to the quick start it has the blue icon and it's called Handcent, and I would want it to be a live tile and just call messaging.

Just bringing this to your attention, looking forward to the pro version. Keep it up.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
I think you are the second person with vibrant that is telling us that it is slow. We tested on devices that we have. Nexus One, T-Mo Comet, and LG Optimus T. I will see what I can do. Even on the Comet (528mhz) it is working so... something might be wrong with your phone but I would love to see it in person to see the actual speed differences.

Our thoughts are to keep the light simple and plain (thus lite and free). More of a demo version if you want to think of it that way. We will have the regular version with some user enabled features and pro with our own live tiles and hubs and such (eg, new contacts screens, new music player etc). Nothing is fully set in stone yet. Just wanted to see how people will like the idea. Considering it took 2 people to code this in about 30 hours each, it's not bad. But we do android rapid prototyping and deployment for a living though. ;)
[Android Software Development] lucas.scott:
Is there supposed to be a battery indicator in the status bar? I don't have one. And signal doesn't really respond there. Also I have to swipe up or down to see anything other than the time. Which I think is kinda cool actually. Just wondering if that's normal. Thanks, and fantastic work.
[Android Software Development] camit34:
Very cool...I like it...! Running it on a HTC HD2 with a Desire ROM and it runs great!
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
That is normal. Just the way WP7 does that status bar. It is missing battery indicator. We will put it up with the next update. The status bar comes down for 8 sec on real WP7. Ours does the exact same thing (sans animation)
[Android Software Development] claudios91:
Really good. Works very good on my galaxy s! Waiting for the pro version! I'll offer you more than a coffe!
[Android Software Development] blackalice:
Pretty slick! Can't wait to see some new features. It'd be nice to use custom icons, say if we use another app for our dialer or messenger, or even for completely different apps! Custom colours would be nice, too.

Found a bug though, if you open the settings and exit it, and go back, there are some weird glitches, you'll see. (this is if you're not using it as a launcher)

EDIT: A page for widgets would be awesome if you could work that out, or at least a way to quickly change settings(wifi, gps, etc)

EDIT2: A way to move tiles around would be good.
[Android Software Development] dannyschmanny:
is there a way to hopefully get a chance to select what icon is being used? i noticed that certain tiles will give your set images when i use certain roms, but won't for the same tile option for others. example, (this is on an EVO) I had the MIUI rom and both messages, browser and mail had the tiles you guys have as stock, but when i switched back to fresh evo and avafroyo10 the messages tile had the normal android icons inset instead. Might be cool for certain generics be made as a selection when pinning to the homescreen (mail, instant message, browser/internet etc.) that way there is a generic to use for the function, but you aren't having to spend the time making all the icons for every app in the store or anything like that. Great work so far.
[Android Software Development] irule9000:
I dont see it on the market.could you post a downloadable link

Thanks
[Android Software Development] zman519:
I saw that this is FroYo right after i downloaded in from the market on my Epic running 2.1 stock rom. Only Black :(

But good job devs i like the idea maybe by the time samsung gets 2.2 out you will have it working even better :D and it will just work on the Galaxy s /Epic ?
[Android Software Development] bonanzabucks:
I was able to get the paid version. I have a Samsung Epic with 2.1. It works for me. I initially had the black screen, but you have to set it as the main launcher and then reboot and it will work. It's still a little buggy, sometimes the homescreen apps disappear and it occasionally force closes, but it works pretty good.

Just wondering how I get back to the TW launcher since when I try to close the application, it keeps going back to WP7. I will use this a lot more once it gets more stable. Hopefully, it'll have live tiles as well.
[Android Software Development] devilgod18:
Me too just got a plain black white screen with an arrow icon which opens apps list....i m using galaxy 3 i5801.

-Devilgod (United Devils)
[Android Software Development] bigwavesurfer4:
lite version worked well on the aria. a flew glitches, but willing to pay for the paid version once its matured a little bit. overall good though great work!
[Android Software Development] stockfeed:
I paid for it then flashed a new rom and now its not showing up anywhere in the market for me. No I didn't make a backup, I know, I know. How do I go about getting my paid version back, cause I would love to keep using it.

Tia
[Android Software Development] mufflerexoz:
the apps updated today, the battery meter or something like that. it will be valuable if we can customize it, like the Launcherpro even the free one.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Your market needs to be updated on the new ROM. Try to fix that first. That'll help with other items on the market too. If all else fails PM me your name and when you bought it and I'll check on my list of paid people and see if I can help.
[Android Software Development] siubak:
hi

can't find on market:(
[Android Software Development] narddog:
Just updated. Tiles are still misaligned, doesn't look as bad tho. The comment you made about having a certain sized and model device is kinda disheartening. Shouldn't narrow the choices as i am with verizon and they don't carry the nexus one. So are we SOL from now on?? Eris
[Android Software Development] DrAkO82:
For my part i want the regular version but i can't find on the market because i'm from Canada...

I want to test it on a Galaxy S gt-i9000 !
[Android Software Development] skribbler86:
Well I'm on a 320x480 device. And the tiles line up perfectly.
[Android Software Development] DannyBiker:
Still not aligning up on my Magic (mdpi). Also, first boot is taking forever, around 2 or 3 minutes. I know the Magic is not a powerful phone but it can take more than this launcher for sure (LauncherPro with effects and 15 widgets runs super smooth).

I think a lot of work should be done on speed and reactivity first.

Still, I bought the paid version yesterday as I believe in your work and like your communication policy...;)
[Android Software Development] HenryTheX:
Could u please send me the apk? thanks:)

xyhasiachina@gmail.com
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Do you want to do an experiment for us?

Turn off sense UI and try the WPA. Tell us if things align right. Eris has the same resolution as GT540 or mytouch or any other mdip devices. The trouble is all phones are not created equal and not all ROMs are created equal either. I have not played with making ROMs for a good 6 months now and i am thinking that screen dip settings are different.

Coding for a platform of devices should not be this difficult at all. We are following the layout instructions to the T from Google and this is not our first app created (either for us or for clients). Bottom line, unless Google starts controlling their devices more in terms of screen density, UI integration, more and more of this kind of issues will come out. Look at angry birds. They have to rewrite an entire new program for "lite" users. We were told all droids were created equal. Thank you Google and OHA!
[Android Software Development] cbwhat:
I have an epic on 2.2 can you send me the apk? Much appreciated
[Android Software Development] narddog:
How do i go about turning the sense ui off?
[Android Software Development] uwishurocked:
It doesn't work on my Vibrant.. it just shows a black screen
[Android Software Development] Futur Innovations:
One way to do it is to download a home-replacement app. Then replace it (when you press home after downloading it, click the check mark and choose the new launcher). Next, launch the windows phone android app and give it a second (or so) to load up. When you bound another home-replacement app to your home button, you booted the sense ui out of the "Running" applications list. I am running a different home-replacement, so I don't have this problem. The only reason I am not running the windows phone android as my default is because of the lack of the stock notification bar.
[Android Software Development] narddog:
Ok. I've done that. Still the same
[Android Software Development] bonanzabucks:
So, I got the pro version of the app last night. I was mostly getting the black screen, but then I set it as the default launcher and it seemed to work, although it was buggy and would crash on occasion, as well as some of the icons would go missing after it crashed.

This morning, there was an update and I updated. I sent TW as the default launcher again. Now, I just get the black screen. What gives? I'm guessing that it won't work if you have something else as the default launcher, but I have no idea.

For the record, I have a rooted Samsung Epic (Baked Snack 1.6) and Android 2.1. Not sure if these specs will affect the launcher in any way.
[Android Software Development] username3d3:
WPA works fine for me even if I don't have it as my default launcher. I'm on HD2 with stock froyo.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Seems like that blank screen is a issue with Samsungs. We need a few Samsungs to see whats happening. I know the stock (vanilla) android OS works. We seem to have issues with sense as well.
[Android Software Development] acejoker25000:
I'm on 2.2.1 sense and it works fine just takes a little while to load the first time
[Android Software Development] devlp1213:
seems to be work on fascinate after I've applied the dj05 update. only thing I've noticed is red looks orange and orange looks like a pale yellow
[Android Software Development] ciiara:
can someone pm the newest update. the dev doesnt check pms like he said he would
[Android Software Development] Intercepter:
I tried the lite version (not the latest update) on my Samsung intercept running 2.1, resolution 240X400 (I know) and lcd density 120. It does nothing but a force close loop. are there any plans to support this arrangement?
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
I am aware of the PMs. I will get back to you people. I have to setup a secure server first. You're more than welcome to download the apk but you'll not get the latest updates that way. good luck or just wait till tomorrow. We need to rest too you know...
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Are you kidding me? AHHHHH!!!... Not at you Intercepter. Just a little sick of different resolutions
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Link for 1.1.1 lite

1.1.1 lite is on the first page now. Enjoy (for those that can't get it online).

The status update and status overlay (phone, mail, message) will be here sometime this week. We hope.
[Android Software Development] purian23:
Nice work and thank you all :P
[Android Software Development] Intercepter:
I know my phone is kinda lame ;) no worries. Maybe when you get time in the future you can support us low enders lol
[Android Software Development] karun11:
wish standard resolution of 320x480 is supported
[Android Software Development] Rotundjere:
Foolish app, I don't like it :-P

Better to use LauncherPro/Zeam/ADW even Default HomeScreen than this wannabe MetroUI app

Sorry, no offense.. but that's how I feel :-D
[Android Software Development] _nobody17_:
Nice Lauchner! :)

When do you want to add the Windows Phone 7 animations? I mean the animation when you open a app for example. And do you also want to make Hubs?

I know this would be very difficult but also very nice! ;)

PS: I would buy this launcher but I can´t find the app in the market.
[Android Software Development] Zombies8MDingo:
Bought it after I saw it mentioned on ElectricPig and a few other places, works great on HTC Desire, looking forward to the updates.
[Android Software Development] Romichou:
Does'nt work on a HTC Tattoo :(
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
Can you be more descriptive? Doesn't work really does not help us trouble shoot. :D
[Android Software Development] Shadomastr:
On Epic 4G the app constantly force closes. I'm on the version you just posted in the OP. The app goes to a black screen A LOT and I can't do anything with the phone except hold the power button down and turn it off. Sometimes if I leave the phone alone for about 5 minutes it figures itself out.

Hope this helps! I've been trying to use this as my primary launcher but with all the force closes I'm going to have to wait through a few updates.
[Android Software Development] narddog:
Same thing on my Eris.

And i downloaded the market version.
[Android Software Development] Romichou:
I didn't find the app in the market so i tried to install it from my sd card.

I'm using Astro to find the app, and when i want to install it, the device says : "Impossible to install windows phone android on this phone".

I'm from France (sorry for my basic english by the way), but i don't think that it's the problem. The phone is not rooted....
[Android Software Development] jatk:
I like it, but I still see miss aligned tiles on my HTC Hero and I also wish you could edited the icons yourself to some of the ones you have made because the messaging app and mail app on the Sense UI don't change with the launcher like the stock google ones
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
That feature will come soon. We just fixed the battery and signal strength earlier today. Signal should fix a lot of CDMA phones from crashing. Just a wrong logic applied. I was thinking GSM. We will deliver system messages (missed calls/#emails, etc on status as well as on tiles) sometime this week. Perhaps by weekend. Then we'll move on to things like user supplied tiles, and moving tiles around the screen.

Thanks for the wait.
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
You should try adb to install

adb install wp7.apk should do the job. ;)
[Android Software Development] seraph1024:
We noticed that on Samsungs, sometimes, when you see the black screen, relaunching home cures the issue. We have not seen the actual error logs yet from actual devices. Hard to trouble shoot these things. Black screen = FC without warning message on Samsung. On iphones, you get back to Main springboard. WP7, you get back to tiles. Samsung decides to show you a black screen.
[Android Software Development] semmtexx:
Looking good. Great progress. Keep up the good work!
[Android Software Development] ganjaweed:
Really nice launcher. So where can i find the full verison since its not showin up the market?
[Android Software Development] cashyftw:
Awesome can't wait, My friends are amazed by this!
