How can i change what apps the dock icons open? E.g, i want to change the messaging dock icon to open GO SMS (but keep the icon before)?
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Long-press, change shortcut. Then long-press, change icon.
[Android Apps and Games] thoiroi:
Please allow shortcut link at dock swype. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Andro!de:
wow. its very fast on my sgs
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
You can already do this in the latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:

[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hi ,Through long press the widget —choose “resize”in the menu，then the widget already can be resized.:)

Custom docks like launcher pro pleaseeeeeeeee i want to use fancy dock images :D:D like launcherpro lets me <3
[Android Apps and Games] leland_jr:
Hey really love the launcher, but I've found increasing instability and battery drain in 1.30. Constant "re-initializing" and slow reads from SD. Have had to stop using.

On Original Motorola Droid and using with Beautiful Widgets.

Feature requests:

-integration with notification numbers in Handcent (need LED notification customization before can use Go SMS)

-custom icons

-export/import settings
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hi ,thanks for your feedback .We will look at this problems in Epic 4G.
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hi ,thanks for your feedback .We will add this feature in next several versions .:D
[Android Apps and Games] Tinalv:
Wow, sounds cool launcher
[Android Apps and Games] botolo78:
Custom icons in the dockbar often looks bad (due to wrong scaling?)
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Thought I'd update... I factory reset my device to make some changes and when I reinstalled my apps and restored data this problem went away.

Not sure what caused it... but maybe not a Go Launcher issue.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hi ,thanks for your feedback .We will sdjust the size of icons in the dockbar in next several versions .;)
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hi ,We are welcome your feedback if you have any new information about this problem.Hope you enjoy GO Launcher~:)
[Android Apps and Games] pprakash:
Have updated to version 1.3 One issue I faced with this version is that occassionally the Dock doesn't adjust to the screen orientation. For Ex. after rotating the phone from landscape to Portait the dock remains in landscape mode while the rest of the screen is in Portait mode. After a reboot I am yet to face this issue again. Will update if it re-occurs.
[Android Apps and Games] Fishawy:
Hello & thanks for such a good launcher. Hopefully the next release has its own widgets like LauncherPro, I already attached some snapshots here in the old thread.
[Android Apps and Games] niteowl360:
Looking Good

Could not seem to find the following in my brief usage:-

a) 'non-scrollable' screen

b) Swipe Pop up items for missed call and sms

c) and of course 'Custom Docks' which developer has stated to come

Looking good otherwise.

I'm sure resizable widgets included free will be appreciated by many!

A useful addition might be something similar to 'Button Saviour', which allows for touch controls instead of hardware controls. That would offer a unique add-on to this promising Launcher.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] creator2456:
To sum up some things brought up in one of your other threads:

Widget Overlapping. It isn't extremely useful for many widgets, but is nice to have...especially for SiMi Clock Widget.

Also some way to Export/Import settings. It would be helpful for those of us that like to try different setups without having to redo everything.

Ability to remove the "home" button from the app drawer.

The "blank" spots in the dock, arent really blank, its a plus sign. I wish i could actually have a blank spot.
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hi ,thanks for your feedback .We will look at this bug in Motorola XT 502.
[Android Apps and Games] zof9i6:
im loving this launcher

love the app drawer create folder, i put all crap i dont use in folder n also cuz i already set in dock n dont need to see them in app drawer no more

i want to have the disable scrollable wallpaper option and remove home button in app drawer
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Would love:

More configurable columns/rows on screen (for example, I like 5 colums, 6 rows. It looks good with text hidden and icons have good spacing in portrait and landscape).

Hide icons in app drawer, although as the last poster said, creating a folder is a great alternative.
[Android Apps and Games] verrox:
Repost here since you no longer look at the old threads :)

A great launcher indeed, but I'm having one small problem, in the app drawer, when i try to put something in a folder, it just bounces back, and the same if i try to drag something onto another icon, it shows up as a folder, but when i release they just change places.

Also, maybe not a bug, but a small problem, i have a resistive screen and the actions are really really precise and forces me to use my nail when i am to do something as resize etc.

The dock is really great, bigger icons then the rest thou, is it possible to decide what size they ought to be myself, and use of a custom dock background? :)

Great job! :D
[Android Apps and Games] bjcolema:
I was having no issues until this latest update. Now, every time I go to the home page, it has to reload from scratch. I tried it with the "stay in memory" option on and off. Any other launcher I use comes up instantly, and this one did too until the last update.
[Android Apps and Games] bigmac44:
Buggy for me

I like the launcher for it's speed and simplicity, but I've noticed that when I reboot my phone, all my widgets disappear and I have to replace them. For now, I'm bouncing between Zeam and Launcherpro Plus as they seem to be more refined. Rooted Droid 1

Edit: I found my problem. When I recently reinstalled it, it installed directly to my SD card. Android apparently doesn't like that so once I moved it back to the phone and rebooted, my widgets were once again back on my phone.

I guess I'll keep it as my launcher for a little while longer this time.
[Android Apps and Games] chapapa:
First of all, you developers are great! Listening to feedbacks and implementing them almost immediately is...wow :D

I've tried to use go launcher, but one thing that puts me off is the app drawer scrolling. I'm a fan of portrait layout, but I find the scrolling in portrait mode a tad too sensitive. Normally I would scroll half way through the screen to find my app, stopping and lifting my finger abruptly to get a clearer view. The problem is that sometimes when I lift my finger, the scrolling which has already stopped will suddenly continue (or "bounce off" or "fly" or "jump" for the lack of a better word).

I think when my finger is lifted from the screen, the slight movement is registered as a fast scroll, translating to the "bounce off" - so perhaps the scroll settings is a little too sensitive?
[Android Apps and Games] bzbetty:
Liking it so far, although it does have some lag issues on my desire, even after a reboot

I only use 1 screen meaning there is an extra unnecessary step to add an icon, if a user only has 1 screen maybe you could just skip the screen selection stage.

My 1 screen is full of icons, I am yet to figure out how to add programs to folders when the screen is full, if anyone has a tip I'd love to hear it. I currently remove an app from my screen so i can add items 1 at a time, fairly slow and frustrating.

Potentially only useful while doing the initial setup, but there is the potential to drag multiple apps from the drawer to a screen at the same time. Maybe you could just drop them on the "move to screen button" or something.

Edit: Just discovered i can make folders in the AppDrawer, although if they're then put on the desktop they don't update when the one in the app drawer does.
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:

[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hi ,thanks for your feedback .Next release will add configuration backup~Also will improve the setting option of the dock so that you can choose “blank”or “plus sign”.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyHibberd:
I am very impressed with what the GO team are putting out.

I love some of the features of this launcher, it is very intuitive and responsive.

My request:

Please make a decent facebook scrolling widget like on LauncherPro Plus.

I would definitely pay for it if you asked.

The feature set this launcher is offering for free is very impressive and your responsive communication/updates with the community are what make you guys number 1 in my book!

Andy
[Android Apps and Games] MikeyMike01:
If you could add a Hidden Apps feature, that'd be awesome. I have a lot of junk icons (like Latitude and such) that I don't want to see.

I made a Folder called "Other" in the app drawer and stuck them all in there (I have about 10 of them).

problems woth scrollable widgets (pure messenger , pure calendar)

hi, i love this launcher but i have problem with scrollable widgets (launcher sometime restart)...

next version will solve this problems?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hi ,thanks for your feedback .We don't support change fonts now,but we will add this feature in the future.Thxs~:)
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hi ,thanks for your feedback .

We will improve the experience of folder and support customized dock background in the V1.31:)
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hi ,thanks for your feedback.

We are still working for solve such problem.Thanks for your information.:)
[Android Apps and Games] creator2456:
I've been experiencing some strange behavior when rotating from portrait to landscape on the home screen.

- half of my second dock will show when rotating to landscape

- widgets don't position correctly all the time during landscape

- dock will stay on the side occasionally when going back to portrait
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hi ,thanks for your feedback .We will look at this bug with scrollable widgets.Would you mind to tell us what's your type model?
[Android Apps and Games] BlackICE:
sorry... I did not see that you can choose a rating when posting. Why cant I edit my post to make this but must make a new post?
[Android Apps and Games] niteowl360:
Thank you for your reply.

I see a) has been implemented. Thank you.

Still struggling to get c) to work.

Is there a specific size eg 480x84?

Thank you for your attention and immediate response to all Users.

You set a very high standard in this regard.

We all know that GO Launcher is well on it's way in becoming the preferred Launcher.

Wish you every success in 2011.

Edit:

Resizing widgets and alignment probably needs some attention, primarily due to limited grid options as opposed to being able to set rows and columns independently.
[Android Apps and Games] creator2456:
I noticed that when updating from 1.3 to 1.31 the new Backup/Restore function is included. After updating I was unable to get a long-press pop-up of any app/widget on the homescreen (resize/delete/replace/etc.). I created a backup then reset defaults and was able to regain long-press functionality. I did a restore (noticed that widgets are not restored - may want to make a note of that in description) and long-press was not working again.

So, that all said, it seems to only be an issue when updating from 1.3 to 1.31. Should still look into it to see if it may become an issue when updating to any newer version.

Appdrawer

It wouldt be realy great if you couldt make your Appdrawer as standalone version.

Maybe it is then possible to use the normal htcsense an lunch your appdrawer with this?
[Android Apps and Games] ove.kr:
Great！:) GO
[Android Apps and Games] d0nald01:
option to hide the tabs in drawer plz :D
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Is it normal that when I add a new app that it goes to end of my app drawer? Can't it automatically get sorted into it's place? I find that I need to manually resort each time I add an app to get it to it's correct alpha short place.

Been using out for a day and very happy. Will be watching battery usage closely though.
[Android Apps and Games] OneMoreBrick:
Thank, love the launcher functionality, but it looks too bad to use right now if i cant use the custom icons
[Android Apps and Games] pprakash:
I miss the unread SMS count if I change the default messanger to Go SMS in the Dock. Not sure if this request should go in the launcher section or GoSMS section ?
[Android Apps and Games] kateschlus:
how do you change the apps in the dock? i can onnly use the standard shortcuts. not applications though.
[Android Apps and Games] SoFLO.:
+1 Agreed

[Android Apps and Games] pprakash:
Long Press the required Icon on Dock -- Choose Shortcut on the popup Menu -- Choose Shortcut again -- Choose Group Application -- You can choose your desired app here.
[Android Apps and Games] fjelsten:
Like I wrote in the other thread, when I add a widget and restart GoLauncher / the phone, the freshly added widgets disappear.

Latest market version on Galaxy S.

Btw, a backup function without the ability to backup widgets makes little sense imo.
[Android Apps and Games] kateschlus:
thank you so much! i tried that but for some reason it takes 30 seconds for the list to appear once i choose group application so i didnt end up waiting for it to appear!
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Yeah, depending on what you have installed, that list can take a long time to load. That is true for all software I've tried (not just launchers but anything that loads a full app list).
[Android Apps and Games] Kshawn:
I love this launcher and it compliments the MIUI rom well, I feel kinda guilty for cheating on my ex (LPP) with this launcher.

Q: Can we get the option to use 480by800 wall papers natively? I as well as a few others use "IPhone" styled wallpapers that are perfect with the non-scrollable screens.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
Only thing stopping me from using this is the horrendous resizing system for the dock icons. When selecting a custom icon, it gives you a window to resize/select what part of the icon you want to display and even if you stretch it out to show all of the icon, it is resized very awkwardly and shows jagged edges. I use custom icons in LP+ right now so that's holding me back from switching. Would love to see this fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Tinalv:
I love this launcher :p
[Android Apps and Games] MAMBO04:
is there any way to change dock icons? i tried to change them but the whole launcher stops working, can't press any apps in the dock, just crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Just long press and choose off list. Works fine for me. If you have a lot of apps installed and/or a slow device, the list generation may be slow.
[Android Apps and Games] MAMBO04:
Yeah sorry i wasn't specific enough, i meant how can you add new icons for the dock instead of the pre-defined ones? E.g, i replaced the transparent icons by decompiling the apk in the res/hdpi folder, with 'Glasklart' icons (from the iPhone). But the dock doesn't work properly if i do that and the apps crash, and the app drawer doesn't open. Maybe it's got something to do with size? Cause the Glasklart ones are 118x120, maybe i need to resize them?

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Ohh, I gotcha... yeah, I misunderstood. Hrm, if you long press and choose change icon it doesn't let you do a custom icon?

All of mine are custom and I thought that was how I did it... I admit that I don't have my phone handy right this moment.
[Android Apps and Games] MAMBO04:
Maybe i'm missing something then :| haha

ah WAIT, i think there's an option to choose icons from root explorer or Gallery?

fail on my part. :D
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Well, at least it is all cleared up now. :)
[Android Apps and Games] MAMBO04:
Yeah :) cheers for the help bud!

One thing i'd like to see in the next update, bigger dock icons, way too small!
[Android Apps and Games] Phoenix Zero:
Are those iPhone icons resizing okay for you? Because my 60 x 60px iPhone icons are all jagged and misshaped when resized. Not so with LP+.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
No matter how good other launchers are, it still does not have widgets like LauncherPro Plus has. The "friends" and "calendar" widgets are so important to me! :o
[Android Apps and Games] Dadi68:
LP's widgets r full of bugs... :p
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
But it seems to be working well for me.
[Android Apps and Games] mpierce:
This app probably has more potential than all the other launchers.

I currently use Launcher Pro and am setting this app up to use. What I find is that compared to Launcher Pro, this is the slowest app to load the app drawer, redraw and respond on my Samsung Galaxy S using Darkys Rom (v8 with quad of 1550+).

Perhaps, this is a setting issue. Spare Parts is running animations slowly for LP so, I'll play with it more to determine if this will replace Launcher Pro.

Speed -1, power, flexibility and potential +9!
[Android Apps and Games] epakrat75:
Neither did I. :o Anyway, I think that showing a "Loading" message / animation while loading the "Select Application" screen might be helpful to new android users / users new to "Go Launcher". Seems like like a fair number of posters here have already asked this question so the extra clarification

would probably be quite welcome. Not to mention it would probably avoid the repeated questions here and on the market review section.

Why is it called "Group Application" instead of just "Application"? That was confusing to me as well. I'd suggest changing it to just "Application" if possible so it's more clear what it is for / will do.

I'm using a Galaxy S Vibrant with Voodoo lagfix installed (EXT4 filesystem) on Axura 2.2.5.7 from XDA. So the phone, the file system, etc aren't slow (to me). The app drawer in this launcher is slow to redraw / display the "Select Application" screen. I've been using Launcher Pro Plus since Summer of 2010 and I can live without the widgets. GO is just that good (so far) even though Launcher Pro's app drawer implementation was faster.

With these changes made, the app would become even more intuitive. Thank you so much for this otherwise wonderful app. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] SynisterWolf:
i see that you can have diffrent fonts. where would i need to put my font pack to i can change it?
[Android Apps and Games] fjelsten:

[Android Apps and Games] iridium21:
Gotta admit, I've just tried GO Launcher and it's really good but I miss those widgets too. If you could add those to GOL, I'd be using it all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] XSilentCobraX:
Awesome home replacement app :P i whould really love to see a notification feature in this, like the one in adw launcher, cheers :D
[Android Apps and Games] Try4Ce:
This launcher is reeeealy good, fast, stable and smooth.

Only thing I am missing are a free setup of homescreen rows and columns. Other that that, great!
[Android Apps and Games] XSilentCobraX:
Is anyone else having abit of trouble when in app drawer and trying to move an app to either sides? It seems i really have to move my finger really far in either side for it to swith pages:-)
[Android Apps and Games] aaronlittle77:
I'm also having a problem with my widgets disappearing on restart. Also I was wondering how I can make it launch at start up instead of having to start it from the app drawer.

I've uninstalled adw that came with kaos froyo. I set go launcher as the default. I don't want to uninstall anything else cuz I don't want to F anything up.

EDIT: I seem to have gotten it working. It installed to SD by default. I moved it to the phone and now it's working as far as I can tell.

Thanks team GO I really like this launcher so far.
[Android Apps and Games] nem4uk:
Launcher is AWESOME!!!

What is needed:

-Opportunity to remove Tabs in App Drawler

-Wider Dock (LP Dock is wider> thath's why LP icons and Docks are not fully compatible(Some kind of smoothing on the icons))

P.S. Go Dev Team, i love your folders! =)
[Android Apps and Games] crackedvenom2:
i noticed that if i put the icons to be in alphabetical order, they seem to change to a random order when i go into them later. this launcher is great though.
[Android Apps and Games] Tomdroid:
I think regarding features this launcher is among the best. But not regarding performance. I'm comparing it to the LauncherPro setup I'm using and even with less widgets and less shortcuts, GO is simply not even nearly as smooth. I often click icons twice because the reaction time is so slow it makes me mistake it for unregistered touches. Also swiping the screens or the docks often lags and the app drawer is ... abysmal.

Why does it constantly revert from alphabetical to random listing (and honestly, random app listing? Who on earth wants that?!), why does it have to reload all app icons every 2nd time I open it and why can't I just drag and drop apps from the drawer to the desktop? I even managed to "lose" an app shortcut in the drawer by clicking "move to screen". Now I can't find it neither on any desktop nor in the app drawer.

Finally, I'd welcome if you'd add more silver style icons to the dock (e.g. one for games, office, android aso.) and also make those same icons usable as desktop shortcuts.

I still think this launcher has a lot of potential. It just needs a lot of polishing. :)
[Android Apps and Games] paranoid2007:
Is there any way to get the notification feature to work with handcent sms? At least Go SMS shouldn't be too much to ask for. :-)

I was just gonna ask the same thing :) I like GO SMS alot
[Android Apps and Games] a1exander:
Love all your apps, but as iv'e said before, when will you release a version where you can hide the "All, Recent and Running" tabs, because my Wildfire has a very small screen and I would like the icons to fill the screen. :)

It will be better if you add feature the enable the user to select any app from the app drawer and to but it directly as a shortcut in the dock bar.

Am facing difficulties to add my favorite apps to the dock bar!!

Is it possible with this version ?

Thanks in advance

[Android Apps and Games] ronnbon:
I like this launcher very much, the only thing that really, really bothers me are the horrible look of my own dock icons.. I made so much customized icons for launcher pro and cannot use them here.

Either they are cutted or you can see pixel at the borders...:( I am really not eager to redo all the hundreds of texticons I made for me...
