Hey how is development?

Is there something happening? Are there enough developers/designers?

Its quite an odd thread, a lot of demand lots of responses but no reply from the original author requesting a designer.

Is everything allright? I understand something came in between or there are some hicups on the process. But is it working out or are there still some big hurdles to overcome?

A little enlightment or a status update will probably avoid having posts about people wanting to beta test it x 20000
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Jefis:
Well, I'm working on it, but only on free time.

Here, you can test it out.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Keefo:
I installed the XAP, but what do i do with the other 2 files??

when i start the app also, i get a skyper login page thingy?

with hostname??

confuuused haha
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] poy41:
seems to work fine here. (LG Q7) just have to play with the Client and numbers a little, also have to have skype running.

@ Jefis - nice job! keep up the good work =D
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Keefo:
what did you have to do to get it working mate???
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] TheOnly1:
Getting it to run is pretty simple:

1. Deploy XAP.

2. Start Skype on the PC.

3. Start Client.exe on PC. Enter your IP adress. Press Start button and allow access to Skype.

4. Start Skyper. Enter same IP. No pass needed.

5. Skyper will load your contacts with pics.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] alesscam:
Client.exe don't work in my PC.....

"Client.exe has stopped working"

any idea???
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Jefis:
You need:

1) .Net Framework v4.

2) Admin permissions to startup WCF server proxy.

3) It might need IIS (not sure).
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] alesscam:
thanks for reply mate

1)Yes

2)Yes

3) i don't no :D
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] cunc:
after pressing start button I get an error message:

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {830690FC-BF2F-47A6-AC2D-330BCB402664} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))

any idea?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Jefis:
Type in command promt:

regsvr32 <PATH>\skype4com.dll
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Marvin_S:
i have been stupid, i did not run it as administrator....

[edited]
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Marvin_S:
oh and since i cant use the program atm, what will it do? WIll you be able to voicecall with it (my guess is not, because it would be too slow to transfer the data to the pc and than from the pc to internet and back and than pc to the phone, and seeing how slow wifi mouse apps are on wp7...) or would it be for skype chat only?

SInce there is also an online service of skypechat this website can be parsed and used as well for the chatting, this would save the need to have a client and stuff installed and your computer running skype.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] compnews:
I appreciate your work and your every minutes which you have spent for this app, and I am thankful for this share, but as app it is very inferior and not working properly.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sayonical:
How is this helpful to the developer?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] drleospaceman:
Make your own version then
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] xxdelgado:
say me , unable to start proxy, Any idea ??? I try to change port 6789 to 1400 but not work.

Thank you
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Marvin_S:
click run as admin now it should be able to create proxy
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] xxdelgado:
ok, I've managed to read the contacts (only people connected) but I can not call or chat, nothing works, does nothing. Is that correct?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Marvin_S:
Yes unfortunately we will have to wait for this
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] leen15:
Hi! i see your screenshot where you show conversations with text in balloon like Messaging. is this real or only photoshop? :D

if it's real, could you share the code for create this? do it support landscape? :p

Thanks. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Goranchen:
Hello from Luxembourg...

It is not working, m8, at least not by my side...

I am having a HTC HD7 and I managed to deploy the skyper on my device via windows vista 32b but I am constantly getting the error message like being unable to start up the proxy... Can u pls tell me what I am doin' wrong here ? Very much for ur help...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] kainy:
Ok ... so I've done everything Ran client.exe, allowed access to skype, deployed the .xap, and on host name i'm typing "http://***.***.*.***:6789/" and after pressing login the app just loads and loads. Anyone have any idea where I'm wrong or am I missing something?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] warriorvibhu:
What help do you need ? PM me.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Marvin_S:
it only works when connected with a usb cable to the pc for me... Just on wifi it doesnt load and just keeps loading for minutes
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] kainy:
No luck :S
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] jan123456789012:
With me It loads and crashes. But I think it can access something because if I dont write the right IP its only loading !BG FTW!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] weeezel:
Soooo sweeeet, love it! Please keep us up to date in your first post :D really looking forward to use this every day on my wp7 :D thanks very much!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ProjektFuze:
O this would be so awesome if it was developed properly. I never quite understood why Skype decided to not keep Windows Phone 7 as part of their mobile apps

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] jan123456789012:
Cuz wp7 will win if we have skype. Everyone hates wp7. I learned how not to hate it, people should too!

P.S. COME ON GUYS I BELIEVE YOUR GOING TO DO IT!!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Bongo2k:
Microsoft only allow connections to be made over http/https, being that skype doesnt operate over the http/https protocol such apps like skype will not work.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] jan123456789012:
Wut... So will we have skype or not

Skype is comming to windows phone platform soon....

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Bongo2k:
If you remember they also said Angry Birds was going to be available until Rovio demanded they removed it. I would only believe any word from Skype themselves. If they desire they can block all non-skype clients from connecting to their service.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] krillik08:
Microsoft bought Skype for 8.5 billion dollars, just FYI guys
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Z's Windows Phone:
Good Work

I just want to say you were/are doing something really nice even though I couldn't get it working others got further than I did so it was something I am doing wrong. I love skype so when I saw what you were doing I got really happy.

Don't give up on the project look at possible things you may be able to make your better than the actual app. I love what you guys do and I think most of us perfer you guys work over the norm.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] JukEboXAuDiO:
This is awesome I am right behind this!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] vnolvak:
Also interested

Hi,

one of mine friend brought also WP7 phone, but found that there is no official skype support. So I found, that you guys here are developing one alternative for skype.

Is it somehow possible to use test version or something like that?

Waiting for answer.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] 64GUNSHIP:
Has there been any further advancements on this app? :D
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] badboy70:
Id like to give this project a shot on my phone :D
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] equisgroup:
By the way i think you can use telerik controls for the ui for free, i'll check that and confirm.

I am from ecuador, i am not into WP7 developing but i use visual studio .net c# maybe i can help somehow on your project
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] M-2The-O-Squared:
Since Microsoft bought Skype, they might have a version launched before you guys :P Just saying.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] equisgroup:
jejeje :D ...

And still they might not.

I am still wating for the hot-fix on facebook issue, maybe they are really but really slow... jejeje

It's a joke you have a good point
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] 64GUNSHIP:
See page 3, the dev release version 0.8. See page 4 for instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Sorry, I'm confused.

I thought Go Launcher was replaced by Go Launcher EX, which appears to be version 2.00.

So then what is Go Launcher 1.5 that's in your thread title?

Also, there's a bug in Go Launcher EX that was reported in the other thread and confirmed.

If I'm not on my main (center) homescreen and I hit the home button, I'm taken to a completely blank screen instead of my main screen. If I then hit home again, my main screen slides in. I can also swipe the screen in either directions and the icons come back.
[Android Apps and Games] bioan:
The icons look a bit weird on MDPI devices. Using Classic Theme.
[Android Apps and Games] umd:
Same here. I mentioned that in the other thread.
[Android Apps and Games] Walker Street:
5 stars

The devs have fixed the problem with the screen being too sensitive to touch (interpreting touches as swipes). Hence, I am a happier chappy. 5 stars. Well done.
[Android Apps and Games] JacksFull:
There's a bug with the nexus one (CM 6.1.1), In the apps drawer when you hit the home button on the phone (not on the screen) the desktop goes blank, as in the icons and widgets disappear. This only happens on the secondary screens and not the default screen.

screen to drawer > home button on the phone brings >

swiping screens gets it back.

can someone check this?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Syn Ack:
I use this and its AWESOME. Its a lot like Launcher Pro but better.
[Android Apps and Games] bamick823:
Tried it out and didn't like it. Adw ex is sopping much better
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Yes, I reported that bug above. You've confirmed.
[Android Apps and Games] punkmonkey1984:
They also have the same effect with custom icons in the dock bar (using black UPS icons), they lose image quality like that also
[Android Apps and Games] smaberg:
+1 iv'e even mailed him about it before releasing the EX, lets hope that he puts in this feature in 2.1 :D:D:D
[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
+1 An option to hide the tabs would be nice

...and +1 about the icons quality issue. The feature of possible changing shortcut's icon is kind of useless if the quality of the image is butchered in the process like this. Still other app like desktop visualizer needs to be used.

Aside from that, good work!
[Android Apps and Games] epakrat75:
A few things that are a blight on this otherwise awesome launcher are:

1) Widgets oftens don't persist through reboot. Which ones do / don't seems random.

2) Random widgets stack in front of / behind other widgets in random locations following reboot.

3) The app drawer draws very slowly the 1st time (usually after reboot). Scrollling is near impossible until all the apps icons finally show. Takes about 30 secs or more.

Running rooted stock official 2.2 on T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant with EXT4 file system.
[Android Apps and Games] raven369:
This launcher is a good start so far. Couple of bugs I've encountered and some suggestions:

1 - If I have only 1 home screen, the screen will still scroll when I swipe it to the left or right. This also happens to the dock bar if I have only 1 dock bar. I turned scrolling off as well so that doesn't help.

2 - When I change an icon in my dock bar can you have an option to turn resizing off? For example, Launcher Pro leaves the icons in its original size and doesn't make you go to the gallery to resize them. My icons always looks pixellated and never turn out right because of the gallery.

3 - It's missing custom home screen display sizes for up to 10 rows and 10 columns. I especially miss my 5x10 home screen which is the grid I often use in Launcher Pro.
[Android Apps and Games] Tachikoma_kun:
I get the blank home screen bug as well if I hit home, fed up of re-loading the config every 10 minutes so swapped back to the regular Go Launcher until there is an update.

SGS International Stock 2.2.1 unrooted and no lagfix.
[Android Apps and Games] Pard0ned:
I really love this launcher - it's better all the other ones. IMO.

However, is there any way there could be an option to "auto fit widgets" like in Zeam or LP??

It drives me crazy that widgets overlap on the homescreens if placed close together.

Could there also be an option that the rows and columns in the screens could go up to 10?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] Pard0ned:
The devs have said, on their webpage, that there will an update that fixes this issue released today at some point.

;)
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Sorry about the title. The home button is fixed now. We will release a new version today.
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Can't get your image. The pixelated icons issue is fixed too.
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Yep. Fixed it. Please update to the newest version, we will release it today.
[Android Apps and Games] HackitZ:
Hi dev, love your launcher.

I have a feature and future request if possible, can you make the grid size more?

like 5 across by 7 down?

This way i can get rid of the gap between my widgets on the home screen.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] JackSparrow17:
How to arrage folder like this??(Like IPhone)
[Android Apps and Games] walda:
Press menu in app drawer, new folder. Long press to move them around.
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
i mentioned this a few pages ago, they seem to be polishing the app & fixing issues as they go. its the only remaining issue i can see, im hopeful they will get this sorted in the next few updates.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
All issues with custom dock and icon clarity have been resolved for me... Yay!

Do wish for more flexibility in grid size. 7 down and 5 across.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] dianeofarcadia:
Same issue with the scrollable widget but over all this is the best launcher for me.

1+ on 7/5 grid.

Keep up the good work and like the new cartoon theme. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] daytripper192:
resizing widget

when i try resizing a widget by long pressing it, the only thing that happens is a bunch of haptic feedback and it allows me to move it around.

anyone else encounter this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
That looks awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Hrm... noticing there is some weird issue with Go Launcher Ex when you dock or undock.

I am using an Epic 4G (2.2). When I dock my phone, the dock app comes up... no problem. When I remove the device from the dock GLE reloads. I disabled the dock app completely, re-docked the Epic and it reloads on BOTH dock and undock. So it is doing something funny when it senses the dock connection.

If I take the charger out of the dock and plug directly in, this does not happen.

Only with the dock.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] doomsdaybg:
The best launcher and awesome themes :) DHD
[Android Apps and Games] tetshi:
It would be better if we could create our own themes. Also, being able to disable the tabbed app drawer would be nice in favor of the standard app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
No way to package it up as a full theme, but it looks like all of the images can be customized without the quality failing now.
[Android Apps and Games] denteno:
Please enlarge the dock icons

Its really small , take a look at adw dock and see the difference
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
If this happens, I hope it is as an option. The icons are plenty large in my opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] player911:
Pretty slick launcher. I've used LP as my main for quite some time. Also use AWD EX. Used a bunch actually.

I loved ADW. This GO launcher seems awesome too.

1 Problem... I'm addicted to the built in LP Facebook and Twitter Widget. Hard to find replacements because I can simply restore my LP settings and automatically sign into Facebook and Twitter without much hassle.

I wish either someone would copy LP's widgets or LP start some theme support.
[Android Apps and Games] stepchild:
Have you tried Colorize Widget. It gives you this and it's free.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Is it possible to make the scrolling within a folder scroll vertically too instead of horizontally, page by page?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Where can I find your dock images or app? :o

Just made the switch from adwex - very nice, indeed. Quick, lightweight, yet robust and fun to switch screens. Awesome show! (Great job!)

[Android Apps and Games] sykomaniac:
Can you implement some way to disable the annoying toasts I know what I'm doing so I don't need the pop up! Also nicer icon highlighting like Launcher pro would be good!

Having said that its certainly one of the best launchers I've used on my desire so far!
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Very nice. :)
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Hehe thank you =D
[Android Apps and Games] DawidD:
I've been playing around with this launcher (and the other Go apps) and its freaking AMAZING. Just one thing is keeping me from switching - is there a way to make the dock completely disappear, like in ADW? If this feature were implemented, I'd be on Go for life (like everyone else i've made switch that use the dock).

ALSO, if I can make another suggestion: shrink the app drawer tabs at the top to something about half or 1/3 the size - they take up too much space, imo.

Anyway, keep up the great work! I'll be donating sometime soon, once I get finances in order :D
[Android Apps and Games] HackitZ:
Ok I have a transparent dock, just choice transparent in preferences.

is that what you mean?
[Android Apps and Games] DawidD:
No, I mean removing it entirely and adding more space for widgets and that kind of stuff. My current theme needs the entire screen, but I dont want to have any dock at all.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Which means you would like "Dock row" option to be 0 instead of 1 2 or 3. Well apparently can't it seems.
[Android Apps and Games] HackitZ:
Hi dev, I love this launcher and this is all i use now and mentioned earlier that i would like to have the desktop 5 (across) x 7 (down).

Is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] DawidD:
Seems like a few of us want this option. :D

I hope it comes around soon, I love everything else about this launcher. Otherwise, I'll have to wait to swap themes before I can change launchers >_>;
[Android Apps and Games] Pzyduck:
Amazing app :D
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
I want the icons within folders to be able to scroll vertically not horizontally page by page. :)
[Android Apps and Games] walda:

Good idea.
[Android Apps and Games] darni:
Yes you can. App drawer settings: horizontal page by page or vertical continuous. (press menu in App drawer/settings)

[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Release the version 2.14. Check it out please.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Oooo those sounds like good updates to me! Going to try now.

PS: Can we have vertical scrolling in folders too?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
I am referring to icons IN A FOLDER, not the icons in the main app drawer. :)
[Android Apps and Games] tjengo:
Where have all the German umlaute gone? These letters don't show up. Makes it really ugly. ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
@ch213q

another great update, now very responsive & smooth, thank you.

if poss' could you & your team take a look at the swipe sensitivity, as prev' mentioned:

for me this would be the final issue resolved

many thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sawari:
Totaly agree especially for small screen like xperia 10mini. I would rather suggest the abaility to hide top bar of app drawer, and option to switch with menu button, or someting like notification bar.

My other suggestion; option to:

- Lock desktop as in the latest ADW.

- Hide home button in app drawer.

- Sort also folders copied to desktop.

- Auto close opened folder after a click.
[Android Apps and Games] sunnesching:
Two tips

First of all. Thank you for this great launcher. It's imo the best so far, i've used till now.

But why did you reverse the possibility to choose a transparent background in the appdrawer?:confused: Would be kind to get it back again.

As mentioned before, the are missing the german vocals "ä, ö, ü, ß" (for example 'fr' instead of 'für', 'Bltter...' instead of Blätter...' etc.) Please fix it with the next update.

Keep on your great job! :)
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Ermmm there was another quick update in the Market on the same 2.14.
[Android Apps and Games] S_Dot:
Nice update, ditched it for ADW Launcher EX for a second. Back though. I love the cartoon theme
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Nice signature picture there! :D
[Android Apps and Games] azubinski:
Thanks and only one suggestion

Go Launcher EX is great, thanks.

Only one thing is really needy - icons and widgets locking (ADW like).
[Android Apps and Games] HideYoKids:
easily my favorite launcher! Love it!
[Android Apps and Games] fjelsten:
Nice update on Samsung Galaxy S. Feels faster. Good job.

As others have mentioned, the horizontal swipe sensitivity on the home screens is off: using scrollable widgets often gets you to a different screen instead of up/down.

Also, please give us back the black app drawer background.

Finally, if possible have the app drawer start from the beginning again when you reach the last screen (when using horizontal scrolling).
[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
And the custom icon issue is still there...
[Android Apps and Games] pkd600:
I'm trying to get a Glass dock background similar to the one LauncherPro includes and similar to the one on the iPhone. Does anybody know where I can find something like this for Go Launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
I just noticed that my live wallpaper is no longer displayed as the backgrounds when I'm in the app drawer.

Was that functionality removed? If not, how do I get that back? I can't figure it out.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Yeah yeah mine too. Why is that so? :(
[Android Apps and Games] rufiely:
i dont unterstand why they change it but you can fix it ...

-> go under "App depot" -> background image and put on your own
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Nono previously it was not like that. Whatever my background was on the home screen, my app drawer one will be the same with some degree of transparency to it. Now is totally not there.
