I really hope the GO DEVs Team, will fix the App Drawer, to laggy right now!
[Android Apps and Games] Isira:
Try setting a drawer background so that it's not transparent.
[Android Apps and Games] kronosboy:
i'm still waiting for opaque background (when choosing "custom background" in app drawer) is back.

I imaged it was so before.. or maybe you had the same too?
[Android Apps and Games] melmotion:
This works so much better on CM 7 RC2 compared to Launcher Pro. Very fluid screen movement and like the folders in app drawer. Fantastic piece of work guys.:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] jiggad369:
Anyone else experiencing this?
[Android Apps and Games] beelbeel:
I think I experienced this once, but I don't know if I have since then.

One other minor complains is that you can no longer scroll circularly if you have one homescreen. I have one screen, and I kind of enjoyed being able to scroll it back to itself anyway. That no longer works.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidSteff:
Is there a way to change the icon of a folder? For me it always show she little black window with some icons of its content. I would like to use a custom icon so it fits with the rest of my homescreen…
[Android Apps and Games] Netsurfer24:
Yes, you can change the icon. Tap on the folder icon and hold it until the menu pop-up. Click on the left menu entry (sorry, don't know how it is called in your version as I am using the German version).

Now another menu should appear where you can choose from where to select a new icon. Beside the standard symbol you are able to choose one from your installed themes for GO Launcher or from your own (icon) images on the phone.

I'm using the MIUI rom and there you can change the layout with one click (with a theme). My used theme is from Toisan his GingerSuave theme
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidSteff:
You are absolutely right. Today it worked. Thats the way I also changed the rest of my icons. But for the folders there was no option for "replace" yesterday. Strange... maybe I ran into some bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Mayyhu:
Performance is about the same, I the transitions with go launcher. Anyways, it takes literally 5 mins to try out a launcher. Try gol with the wood theme off the market.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidSteff:
Hmm...still some questions:

- is it possible to hide the mini-icons that appear on the folder icon?

- is there any way to change the style of all used icons at once? This used to be possible with a tasker skript, and using the icon sets provided by tasker (which i still use). But in GoLauncher this seems to be more difficult (impossible?)
[Android Apps and Games] Icebergslim3000:
Does this launcher allow for overlapping widgets. I can't use my current set up on launcher pro with this if it doesn't.
[Android Apps and Games] Rican Bx Bomba:
No. Charmander.
[Android Apps and Games] dkelley:
on the archos 101 this is the only aftermarket launcher that works correctly with the archos gen8 soft buttons (which take up some of the screen real estate and make other launchers crop the opposite side @ first rendering of the home screen).

However, the font size in the app drawer is HUGE - it shows 5 or 6 characters on the first line and a couple of chars on the 2nd line making app names almost pointless.

I haven't found a way to change the font size in the drawer in either this launcher or the rom itself (or even in spare parts).

Can this option be added please, or let me know how I can edit this? It's the only thing stopping me from using this as my daily launcher right now.

Thanks so much for this great product :-)

Cheers,

Don
[Android Apps and Games] tjengo:
notification on home screen icons should be optional.

if somebody calls i get a notification on phone in dock and on my short cut for direct call on home screen. but if direct call short cut and missed call are not the same it's quite confusing. it let's me guess that the missed call was from my short cut contact.
[Android Apps and Games] driftmc:
thanks for sharing,but i don't think the app is good
[Android Apps and Games] denteno:
The only reason why I'm not using this as my default launcher

Notice the annoying overlap of widgets

ADW and LP has a feature to solve this called auto stretch widget

I dunno how you got so far without fixing

But after all this is a really promising launcher
[Android Apps and Games] pavanmaverick:
Why won't this launcher give me the option of automatically closing folder after launching an application?

Anyone know a work around?
[Android Apps and Games] lavero.burgos:
i agree i came to post this too please fix also the grid size of screen display should have more options in each way like in LP and the autofit widgets option is definitely a must too. icons without labels wont look good near widgets
[Android Apps and Games] rufiely:
+1, i hate overlap too

+1, it gives no workaround - much people wonder why

Nobody still read this? Why we become no feedback from "GO" Team?
[Android Apps and Games] rufiely:
Is there anybody who knoe to make an Theme for EX?

Flip Speed Setting??

Hey guys I have been looking around but I just couldn't find where is this flip speed setting from the display setting of Go Launcher. The only thing close to that is the flinging speed. Where is the flip speed setting??

Thanks in advance for any help given on this. I am just very, very confused..:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
An update on the same day that LauncherPro has an update. :P
[Android Apps and Games] pkd600:
Is there any plan for GO Launcher widgets? It's the one thing I miss from LauncherPro. Especially a nice calendar widget.

Edit: Just saw on the GO Launcher blog that widgets are in fact coming, but the first one wasn't ready this week. Looking forward to it. Great launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] iamnik:
Loving this launcher. App drawer transition is now smooth, and runs butter smooth on my device (Motorola DEFY @ 1200MHz)
[Android Apps and Games] pavanmaverick:
Hey look! They made app folders close on app launch! Hurrah.

I'm going to try this version now.
[Android Apps and Games] marvalar:
Thanks for having folders on top on app drawer...
[Android Apps and Games] cedric123:
+1

The launcher is great but the app drawer is awfull can you plz amke an update to normal style? you can make an options to chose wich app drawer we want..:)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rye&ginger:
Im sure it was mentioned but I cant read the whole thread.

1. please allow us to select which gmail accounts to monitor for notifcations. I have 3 accoutns, but only want bubble notification for one of them. LauncherPro just monitors the main account it seems.

2. App drawer scrolling is choppy, usually when trying to scroll up.

3. Any way to allow widget over laps?

Great work.

Go Launcher Ex Pref

Not sure if anyone has covered this, but I cant open up preferences..at all..it immediately goes back to the home screen. Ive tried uninstalling, reinstalling, etc..
[Android Apps and Games] Morkai Almandragon:
Would kill for auto size option of widgets and more custom grid sizes!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Sylar/hero:
I love this app but the 2.16 update astronomically increased my power usage from 1-2% to over 30% and I have barely even used the phone. Also as of this update it force closes on me randomly and it had never done this to me before.

Samsung Captivate 2.2
[Android Apps and Games] Dxtra:
Scrolling on scrollable Widgets its to sensitive. I end up scrolling to next screen every time. Frustrating. also please default appdrawer.
[Android Apps and Games] Mrbalders:
This was one of my favorite Launchers but after the last update, it has begin to fc apps and made my screen unresponsive, only solution was to uninstall this Launcher...Shame :(
[Android Apps and Games] Netsurfer24:
For me it still is ...

you mean version 2.16?

I cannot confirm this on my SGS.

Report your problem to the GO Launcher DEV Team and try again the next version 2.17 which will be released soon.
[Android Apps and Games] xstayxposix:
One of my favorites!

I'm stuck between this and LPP of course.

I would love to see a) auto size widgets, along with everyone else. I hate the overlapping, doesn't make the screen look clean and polished at all, looks tacky. b) GoEX widgets like LPP, probably the biggest reason why I still use LPP as my default. c) no scrolling on dock or homescreen when only one enabled, the point of having one is so we don't scroll.

Overall though, it's a great launcher! fix the above and it'll be my favorite and my daily driver! I love the Go Dev apps, use the dialer, contacts, sms, waiting on keyboard and browser to be in English.

[Android Apps and Games] jkolner:
HTC Sense

Does HTC Sense widgets (e.g. Favorits and Weather) still work after installing GO Launcher EX, so it's only the HTC launcher that is replaced?

With ADW Launcher they don't work.
[Android Apps and Games] d0nald01:
when are we going to be able to hide those tabs in the app drawer!!
[Android Apps and Games] Goodold:
I agree. Using a vertical scrolling widget is a pain. Please turn down the sensitivity or perhaps set a threshold of side to side movement

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] RichyH:
Great launcher.

Use it on my X10 mini Pro because ADW EX kept crashing.

But I really miss the 4 rows 5 collumns option for the screens.

The 5x5 gives an ugly overlap of some icons.

Maybe this is something that can be added to a future version.

Best thing would be the option to set the desire number of collumns and rows, just like ADW launcher does.
[Android Apps and Games] Korumera:
Am using this launcher for a while now and i really love it. Used to have Launcher Pro before this but since the last update it kept Force Closing on me so I thought let's try this one and i'm not gonna switch ben to LP! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mrbalders:
I'm just installed version 2.17 on my Nexus S, hopefully this version sorts out some of my problems.

Just a question for anyone...

Has anyone used Simply Lock-screen with Go Launcher together, and have they accounted any problems using both at the same time, the reason I ask is Simply Lock-screen also appears as an alternative Launcher on my phone, so I presume both are running as launchers together and in some way may be conflicting with one another.

BUG on Galaxy Spica (2.2):

When long pressing the wallpaper or a widget it just says Loading Screen, Please Wait... and nothing happens. It's pretty annoying since I can't move my widgets now
[Android Apps and Games] tony_to:
2.17 bug report:

phone: DHD

issue: after long press home button to bring up the "Recent apps", go launcher becomes no longer the default home screen. A "Complete action using ..." will bring up on the afterwards home press.
[Android Apps and Games] nisamtetreb:
I got that too after installing. I think a reboot helped, it works now anyway.

I like it a lot. A built-in wallpaper switcher to change wallpapers in a folder after a time period would be nice, but I'm using a live wallpaper for that now.
[Android Apps and Games] yken:
sometimes launch icons very slowly. I installed more than 10 different launcher.

only Go launcher has this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] lavero.burgos:
Lol are you kidding , that is the best of this launcher . I hope they fix all the most notable requirements users have ask ,cause i am getting bored of adw
[Android Apps and Games] d0nald01:
Remove tabs on app drawer please, and make the scroll less laggy
[Android Apps and Games] minus30:
That helped, thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Yeah, we will make an option to hide them.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin2516:
Can you also fix the custom dock support? Whenever I go to pick a custom dock, it makes me resize them... this is pointless, and when i do, it comes up all pixelated and blurry. In launcherpro and adw, it selects the custom dock as it is shown, no resizing or anything.
[Android Apps and Games] juliobahar:
I do agree totally. Much better than launch pro and the included app killer frees more memory than adv. task killer
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Thanks!

1.Will make the scroll unavailable when there is only 1 dock bar.

2.Yep, will make two options for you guys to choose.

3.Well, will support this ASAP.
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Will add the "auto fit" function.
[Android Apps and Games] Heart1010:

Version 2.01 is out in the Market.
[Android Apps and Games] umd:
Icon sizing problem has gone with 2.0.1. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
In the themes - yes, but not with the custom icons for shortcuts in the default theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Narfx:
Yep. If at least the default theme had icons for most common apps (maps? navigation? file explorer? rss reader?) I'd be happy, because I do like the default icon theme. But they only provide ~10 icons, and if you try to use a custom icon pack you get those ugly pixelated things =/.

(edit) Great launcher, BTW. Love the Recent and Running tabs. I'd like it even more if folders appeared as tabs too (I hate that dropdown thing).
[Android Apps and Games] Pard0ned:
Thanks so much!! Looking forward to it! :D
[Android Apps and Games] DerEineDa:
Thank you so much for fixing the slide issue when opening apps from the app drawer. Works well now! Best launcher for me now, will recommend it to everyone!
[Android Apps and Games] spork27:
I just switched over from Zeam to this. There's only one thing I miss from Zeam. If you're on the Home screen and hit the Home button again it resets the Dock back to the beginning. The first apps in the Dock are the ones I want showing after I come back to the Home screen from an app. Is there any way that you could add this option?
[Android Apps and Games] UMID1993:
Still no overlapping widgets?.
[Android Apps and Games] ch213q:
Hey, I have noticed the custom icon issue. Will fix it soon.

[Android Apps and Games] teltel:
Hey guys, hows this launcher compared to adw? Smooth? hogging cpu more than adw?
[Android Apps and Games] JustAnotherNewbie:
I agree completely, I was hoping to give Go Launcher EX a whirl when I upgraded to the new version of my preferred ROM, but the inability to set custom grid sizes put me off.

The ability to alter pixel density, effectively changing the on-screen resolution on a desktop, made it very easy to squeeze in an extra column/row or two. That is how I got into the habit of using a 5x6 grid size, and all things considered I would rather not fall back to 4x4, 4x5, or 5x5. (Admittedly I could, but surely others are irked over the lack of options.)

However, if you do include the ability to change the number of rows/columns per screen, I would suggest making a separate option for each rather than lumping them together.

Currently you have it like this:

Preferences-> Display Settings -> Grid Size

(Another option would be to keep it as you have it but allow people to enter the numbers they desire instead of using preset options. I get the feeling this isn’t as good of an idea, but I know nothing of programming so I could be wrong.)

I suggest something more akin to other launchers, such as:

Preferences-> Display Settings-> Rows

Preferences-> Display Settings-> Columns

Anyway, just a suggestion.

Beautiful launcher, I use it all the time on my other Hero.
[Android Apps and Games] pkd600:
I'd like to see the tabs a little bit smaller, but its nice being able to switch to them.

Also, is there anyway to change the selection color when you pick an app on the homescreen? I'd like to set it to something different from the default orange on my htc incredible.

[Android Apps and Games] yken:
they say they will fix at next version. Every saturday they release new version.
[Android Apps and Games] roboots21:
I found a slight issue with the Dock in this launcher. When you rotate to Landscape mode and you are using a custom dock background, the alignment is off on the dock. I am using a custom dock with dividers and it fits perfect in portrait mode, but when you rotate to landscape the alignment of the dividers is way off. I know when I was using LaucherPro it did an auto resize to keep the alignment correct. Only issue I have found so far with this launcher. It is great! :)
[Android Apps and Games] rorycs:
There is an issue with Go Notifications on a T-959 Vibrant. Gmail notification works right, but notifications for the standard email apply and messages do not work. It is probably because Samsung uses their Touchwiz versions for those apps. Please add the ability to choose which app is read from and which icon to display the count on.
[Android Apps and Games] mr_torture:
I already wrote about this once, but there was no response.

Please consider adding option for 3x3 grid in app drawer, for all of us with smaller resolution QVGA phones (Xperia Mini, HTC Wildfire and so...). Because now icon labels in app drawer are overlapping other icons, looking totally messy, and it doesn't look that nice. One solution is to disable icon labels in app drawer, but that is not that great solution.

So, once again, please consider this. There is a lot of people with QVGA phones.
[Android Apps and Games] marvalar:
Much better control in scrolabble widgets!

[Android Apps and Games] sharkonland:
Loving how this launcher is turning out.

A few ideas i had for themes, if the developers would want to, how about a mac osx style theme, and maybe a linux/ubuntu style theme. After using the windows 7 style launcher, im kinda amazed with whats possible.
[Android Apps and Games] SwimDrewid:
Really enjoy what you are doing. Go really is smoother and snapper than adw & lpp, plus the eyecandy (infinity scroll, transitions, choices) exceed the competition.

Ghost Widgets

Hi,

I love this launcher. Just want to draw your attention to a bug that I encounter from time to time. This happened to me with Zoom widget maker recently. It has happened to me before with few other widgets as well.

1. Create a widget with dimensions that the screen does not have room for. (e.g. 4x4 widget with no 4x4 space left on the home screen).

2. Widget creation will fail and it will never appear.

3. Look in the widget app. If the widget app is one of those that list the active widgets, it will report the widget that failed to create as active.

reply from zoom developers on the issue:
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:

3 row app drawer possible?

Hi,

First thank you for the great launcher. Can you add some options like -

1- 3 row in app drawer, in mini screen's like xperia mini, 3 row is needed. Otherwise it looks odd.

2. in screen is it possible to make a option so that widget does not take more than the row / col specified by user?

3. Please make a option to hide the bar at the below in both screens and drawer.
