Thx for this nice launcher - i use it - that says all ^^

BUT... for best use i wish you can add

- under function(5.point) please add the option double tab (on screen)

- and please add for all "functions" the option "show homescreen + Infos"(infobar comes down) ... because i dont need "show homescreen + preview"

- please add the function to move dock "LINK/app(app incl function and icon)" from a dock slot to another slot ... now i have to change "function" and "Icon" thats complicatet -> 2 seconds klick on "LINK/app" and the menu will pop up and show left and right an arrow to move it

sry i dont know the right english words, because i have an other language - sry

[Android Apps and Games] rufiely:
yeah i know - its so that you have now the option to set different backgrounds - if you ant the same you have to add it twice, transparency is almost there - see above
[Android Apps and Games] rufiely:
... #2

i use it on a rootest LG P50 Optimus One and works fine

- i love this app so i wanna make a icon/theme for it ... how can i do?

- i see you add the function for that when its clear "how to" ... then i think you will have more downloads
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
transparency is almost there?
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
That's exactly what I was saying. why was it removed? Any way to get it to work that way again?
[Android Apps and Games] rufiely:
your right - i test it again and its NOT there

i have Version 2.14
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Yeah exactly. I would like this feature back please.
[Android Apps and Games] rufiely:

Is this possible? 7 down?
[Android Apps and Games] sunnesching:
Thank you for the quick update.

All seem perfect now. German vocals and transparency of the appdrawer background are back.:D

I love this launcher:)
[Android Apps and Games] joey3002:
I really like Go Launcher, however, every time I reboot, I have to reset all my widgets. Anyone know what that is or how to fix?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Benjoy Ericsson:
Really love this launcher but I think the section "Running App" (in App Drawer) is superfluous because with Advance Task Killer, I can do many things more than just killing apps in this section :)

(sry for my bad Eng)
[Android Apps and Games] Jazi:
So I notice the dock icons being resized is still an issue.

Also, maybe I'm missing something, but anytime I put a widget (such as Beautiful Widgets Smaller Home) it doesn't seem to touch the top like it did before in Launcher Pro and elsewhere. Instead there is a few pixel gap, very frustrating.

That being said, very nice product you have here, good work, its much appriciated.

[Android Apps and Games] iromek:
nice launcher, only a few small items to address

So I've been bouncing between Launcher Pro, Zeam, ADW and Go Launcher... (just to point out I've got some experience with all the ones above). Now with Go Launcher update I've switched to using it. Here is my quick review:

Great Launcher, quite fast, very good options. I'm running it on the HTC Desire GSM with Oxygen 2.01 (Android 2.3.3) So there are a few of the items I would like to have changed:

App Drawer- would be great to have an option to allow plain colours as the background (like stock black).

App Drawer- ability to hide, minimize top bar (some of us simply don't use them and don't need them there).

Ability to LOCK the desktop (ADW has this and I love it, keeps me from accidentally moving icons around as I grab my phone)

Ability to more easily add apps to folders on the main screen. Right now the only way to do it (as far as I know) is to go to the App Drawer, hold app icon in place, move it to the bottom "move to screen", select the screen and then it appears on that screen. Now you have to pull it into a folder on that screen. Otherwise you can add application icon by holding down on empty space on a screen but again that makes the app appear on the screen which you must then move to your newly created folder. Just seems like too many steps. There should be an ability to open the folder and "add application" while the folder is open (Launcher Pro does this for example, as the others to do now that I think of it).

Ability to resize widgets. Zeam does this out of the box and I find it very useful.

That's it, keep up the great work guys! :D
[Android Apps and Games] rufiely:
you can resize an widget hold it 2 second - option will come up - "resize it" ... now you have arrow to resive it ^^ with "back" button it will accept
[Android Apps and Games] rufiely:
Collect all wishes ...

- Ability to more easily add apps to folders

- in folder the option add apps dont function - err: no space

- Need autofit für apps/widget/folders - when i resize widget it overlap other apps

- i love this app so i wanna make a icon/theme for it ... how can i do?

-> i see you add the function "theme" ans "icons" but "how to"? ... that will explode the download/usability - more custamize more love ;-D
[Android Apps and Games] punpanonicus:
i really like this Launcher
[Android Apps and Games] marvalar:
Hi,

Congratulations, I really like this launcher. After trying several ones I've landed on this one.

I subscribe some of the above requested features, but i would like to add a new one:

The ability to sort icons in the app drawer, but leaving folders on top.

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] Toisan:
Using and Loving this luncher to, like the most i think :)

But some suggestions i have :) :

A way to disable in Drawer the parts "Recently Used" and "App Killer"

And u know the Miui Rom? They added a way to theme Icons with a .zip/.mtz file, maybe we can get a same way to add icons with the com.what.ever - name and the Drawer will show the new Icons :) cause i have a hudge list with SuaveHD Icons which themed all my Apps so it will be great to have this!

and this can be a new way to add themes? Maybe :)

We need a way that we can Overlap some widgets, like launcherPro!

Maybe Own Widgeds ;) with nice styles :P
[Android Apps and Games] mailow:
nice similar as HTC
[Android Apps and Games] paranoid2007:
Found a bug:

In pure grid calendar the widgets' day pop up doesn't work. It does however in Launcher Pro.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
A new 2.14 update fix the background transparency in App Drawer. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jknarf:
I can confirm this Bug. +1
[Android Apps and Games] fjelsten:
Confirmed also for Pure Calendar and Pure Messenger.
[Android Apps and Games] raistlin74:
Confirmed.

Also with Contacts widget, the popup doesn't work
[Android Apps and Games] The_Steph:
I'm currently using Pure Calendar, Pure Messenger and Contacts widget and I faced the same issue than fjelsten and raistlin74. Going back to version just before the latest (the last one with app drawer blue background) solved the issue. Definitely a bug introduced during add drawer transparent background addition.

Anyway, keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] raven369:
You've mentioned that having a transparent app drawer background increases the amount of memory used. Rather than using a transparent app drawer background why don't you just add in an all black background instead? It's something that I think everyone is generally used to since stock Android comes with an all black app drawer background.
[Android Apps and Games] artisticsoul79:
I love Go Launcher EX and I'm currently waiting for many more themes that are better than ADW Launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] tehloxely:
Where is the default app drawer (blue) background located?
[Android Apps and Games] karst40:
wow.

all is great, except iphome style. isn't like that much
[Android Apps and Games] anoraknophobia:
Using this Launcher since a few days.

Only problem i got so far is that every new installed app is at the end of the applist. Doesn't GO Launcher sorts it automaticly in alphabetic order ?
[Android Apps and Games] pkd600:
Would really like to see some better dock customization support. I'm really surprised that there is no available glass i-phone like dock for GO launcher. If this was included or support was better for using custom dock images, I would switch to this launcher for good. Nice work though.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
I love the custom dock support, personally.
[Android Apps and Games] rufiely:
How dou you make a custom dock or theme, how i have to do?

- is a custom dock only a "*.gif"?

- how can make i own theme?
[Android Apps and Games] yken:
anyone konw how to add a icon to a previously created folder. Lets say i have a folder. İts in the first home screen. The app icon i want to add is in the second screen.

How to add this to my folder?

Making folders is easy but adding items later not so easy.
[Android Apps and Games] kronosboy:
I like the opacity of app drawer background before 2.14 update. Now I see the background with no opacity and I can see very well icons on it.

Is there a way to set opacity like before?
[Android Apps and Games] marvalar:
To sort icons in the app drawer:

While in the app drawer tap your menu button.
[Android Apps and Games] pkd600:
I agree that does look nice. My issue is that there doesn't seem to be any guidelines on how to use custom images. When I try to use them, they don't seem to scale properly. LauncherPro has a couple of background presets that work well such as the Glass background. It'd be great if this could be included in GO Launcher as well.
[Android Apps and Games] pkd600:
Okay here is some glass dock that work with GO Launcher EX, for anybody who's interested. I didn't create these so all the credit goes to the creator of the images. I just figured out that they work.

More available here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=738199

To use these, just copy the image to a folder on your phone. Make sure you can view it in the Gallery. Then in dock settings click on custom background, then select dock background, Gallery, select the image and drag the corners of the box to include the full image. If it doesn't fit exactly, once you have dragged the corners as far as they can go, select in the middle of the box and pull it down to the bottom of the image. Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
They fixed it already with another v2.14 release in the Market. Update yours again.
[Android Apps and Games] kronosboy:
I updated to v2.14 but I still don't have opacity in the app drawer background.

(only if i don't use a custom background i can see opacity, but if i set a custom background i see it with no opacity)

As you can see in these pics.

First image is app drawer of old version, second the new version (2.41) as you can see in the third image (version)
[Android Apps and Games] rufiely:
I figured a geek :eek:feature out.

2 seconds push on A the dock symbol i wondered why only one "gesture"(up) can see.

You can ADD for every Symbol an extra Function.

This means on 5 UP gesture you can add different actions!!!

NICE WORK
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Oh. Yeah then I misread you. But there was never any transparency IF YOU HAVE a custom background. Not that I know of. =X
[Android Apps and Games] kronosboy:
But as you can see in the pics i posted, there was a opacity on the background (before 2.14) and it was great because there was a better look of the icons on the background...

now the background looks brighter.

I'm sure that it [the transparency] there was. I'm always using Go Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] omair2005:
i don't understand why they don't add an option to auto close folders after selecting an item in that folder? Also need more custom themes!
[Android Apps and Games] rcfx:
Does that go in the res/drawable-hdpi folder of the launcher? Guessing here....
[Android Apps and Games] sixk:
They need to add being able to overlap widgets...

hope they do it soon. ^^

Also like above... how do you add custom dock and menus in them?
[Android Apps and Games] omair2005:
is it possible to make a black glass dock?
[Android Apps and Games] pkd600:
just copy the image to a folder on your phone. Make sure you can view it in the Gallery. Then in dock settings click on custom background, then select dock background, Gallery, select the image and drag the corners of the box to include the full image.
[Android Apps and Games] pkd600:
Here's a black dock you can use.

I didn't create these, just discovered that they work in GO Launcher EX if you follow my instructions above. There's more available in this thread as well:

I love GO Launcher except for one problem...

The dock seems to go completely unresponsive at times

I can be there pressing the dock icons for 30 sec going :confused: nothing happening.

Sometimes if I scroll to another home screen then try the dock icon again it works. Rather frustrating though

Using Ideos X5 (huewai u8800)

Also, can you make the status bar transparent in this?

Can anybody help?

[Android Apps and Games] insane_subro:
This is the bast launceher for me man!!
[Android Apps and Games] bclark:
Let me preface this with, I know the mantra: Unused ram is wasted ram.

But when using this launcher my ram usage skyrockets to B/W 240 and 290 out of 340. This is with only the launcher being used. I tested with the gingerbread launcher and LPP and they sit around 190 to 220. I even replicated my home screens exactly and I use an extremely simple home screen.

I love this launcher but it seriously slows my phone down sometimes. Is there anything specific that might be happening to cause this
[Android Apps and Games] psych2l:
Decided to give this launcher a shot from launcher pro, it looks and works great but it would be nice to be able to edit the color codes for button highlights and presses.
[Android Apps and Games] artisticsoul79:

[Android Apps and Games] xphire:
Nice launcher but the wallpaper doesn't seem to reach the top of the screen. Seems to be a small gap. Also, would be awesome to have the option to have a transparent notification bar.

Edit : it does support transparent notification bar in the settings, nice. I'm sold on GO Launcher. Only issue that needs to be fixed is the static wallpapers not quite reaching the top with non transparent wallpapers.

Edit : The transparent notification bar is only for live wallpapers, damn. :(
[Android Apps and Games] darkolorin:
nice one

can't choose now between this and launcher pro
[Android Apps and Games] fatino:

[Android Apps and Games] x潮騒x:
hey, coming from launcher pro i have a problem with the sensitiveness of desktop switching via swyping. While i can switch the desktop with the slightest swype in launcherpro, it feels like hard work in GO Launcher and im still not really used to it so my gestures are often to short to really switch the screen. is it possible to change this behavior somewhere?

EDIT: Another (unfortunate) difference seems to be the wallpaper scrolling behavior. I just use 3 screens and GO Launcher utilizes only a part of the wallpaper as it apparently uses absolute scrolling values, while Launcher Pro seems to calculate relative values depending on the number of the screens (so it always use the whole wallpaper) . Is there any way to change this behavior too?

For some reason my gmail notifications stopped working, I cleared data for go launcher notification and go launcher ex but it still won't show my gmail notifications in the dock or home screen. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] jwade80:
Ya know...I've had the same problem with my notifications. I've tried clearing data, caches, reinstalling both the Launcher and Notification apps with no luck fixing this problem.

And yes I've got it check marked to use notifications :P
[Android Apps and Games] xphire:
I have noticed the same thing, too. What would also be sweet is if GO Launcher had a built in Facebook widget like Launcher Pro. I have yet to find one as clean looking and functional as Launcher Pro's.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Good last update! :)

Can make the icons in A FOLDER to scroll vertically continuously?

[Android Apps and Games] tebower:
To the developers, is there a way you can make folders in the app drawer always go first? For example, when I sort alphabetically, it sorts the folders among the rest, but I would like to see the folders always stay at the beginning, and then everything else sorted after. Is there any way to maintain automatic alphabetical sorting? Like when I install a new app, it always adds to the end of the list, forcing me to re-sort.

Thanks for such a great launcher experience!
[Android Apps and Games] bclark:
If you number them they will come first

Edit: rename them as numbers eg. 1,2,3 etc

[Android Apps and Games] Mayyhu:
Hi, I think this might be my favourite launcher. I'm about a week in with my optimus one, my first smart phone. Managed to get it rooted and got megatron installed. These forums are wonderful. Anyhow...

My quick 2 cents on the launcher: It needs a way to remove the "home" button at the app drawer screen. I'm pretty anal about my screen space and since I have a hardware "home" button, it's a major waste of about 10% of the screen.

Thanks for listening, love your work.

Can anybody tell me how to delete a folder (in the app drawer)?

I can do everything with the folders but no way to get ride of them ... :confused:

Many thanks in advance,

Gunther
[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
Long-press on the folder until everything starts "floating" then press on it again (on this little circle with a pen icon) and you're entering edit mode where you can delete it =)
[Android Apps and Games] Netsurfer24:
Up to being in the edit mode all is clear (and works). But how to delete it (even in the edit mode I cannot find an option to delete the folder)?

Gunther
[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
In edit mode there is folder name, the list of apps and three buttons at the bottom, right? 'delete', 'complete' and 'cancel'. I have Polish version, so I'm not sure if that's exactly how it looks like in English one. When you press delete you remove the folder.

/edit: I clicked 'thanks' instead of 'quote', oh well... ; )
[Android Apps and Games] Netsurfer24:
Edit/ Update:

Upps ... :o

Sorry, my bad.

I did not enter the edit mode. When doing it (correctly) then the three buttons are there and I can delete the folder.

Thanks for your help.

Gunther
[Android Apps and Games] iamnik:
It keeps getting better with each release. Fantastic work.

2 small things that could be improved:

- In the app drawer, make the tabs for 'All', 'Recent', and 'Running' slightly smaller, they really don't need to take up that much space on the screen

- The new app draw transitions are awesome! They could be a little smoother/more fluid though

- New notifications are cool, but it'd be great if you could clear them individually. For example, i have like 500 unread in my gmail, so it'd be great if i could clear the gmail notifications only, so then it shows up again when i have new mail

Thank's so much for this great launcher :D
