I'd like to have the possibility to disable the "apps preview" over the folder icon on the home screen, elsewhere i feel a bit useless the possibility to change the folder icon.

[Android Apps and Games] Aightu:
Damn good work on this launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] imann:
Thanks, I love the launcher. I have tried almost all of the launchers and GO is by far my favorite. I love the new widgets too. Just one request though, I would love to be able to exclude apps that are shut down by the GO Task Manager widget. I use Simply Lockscreen and hitting the button on the widget to close open apps closes it. Not the biggest deal, I can just keep using Android Booster. I love everything else about the launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
This is really good, but:

- The order of the apps doesn't get synced.

- Changing the icon of a folder on the home screen seems to be buggy.

- Changing the icon of a folder on the home screen doesn't change the icon in the app drawer.

- A home screen folder always opens with full size, even if it contains just a few apps. It would be nice if the size would be reduced to the content.

So it seems that I have to stick with Folder Organizer...

I have Go Contacts and Go Dialer installed, i actually use the dialer than came with Sergio Coredroid 1.6 build as it looks good but i use Go Contacts instead of people for my address book.

When i go to make a call a box pops up asking me to confirm call, i went into settings and unticked this box and that was ok but the following day when i turned the phone on and when i went to make a call the same box popped up, i went into settings again but this time the box was still unticked so i cant understand why this box still pops up anytime i go to make a call, i also cant see anything to uninstall go dialer just go contacts which id like to keep but if this box keeps popping up asking me to confirm call ill have to uninstall it, is there a resolution to this?
[Android Apps and Games] Matt Bernius:
Really blown away by the Go Launcher -- switching to it has greatly speed things up on my streak.

My only issue is that the dock background (at least for the sketch and ink themes) is not stretching or otherwise scaling to reach from one end of the dock to the other. Instead, it looks like it's rendering at it's native res and just cutting out a little over halfway through.

Did I miss a command to scale or tile?

Major issues

Sorry but this launcher is the worst I have seen for reliability.

Installed it yesterday and within an hour some of my widgets had disappeared. Set them back up only for them to vanish again. So I tried out Launcherpro instead, but I liked how the apps can be moved about in the app drawer in Go Launcher Pro EX so today I've gone back to it.

I spent some time reorganising the app drawer how I liked it, and reapplied my widgets for the third time in less than 24 hours and everything was looking good for a bit. I found the backup setting in the preferences and saved my settings. All was good. I then went to the Market and updated some apps as updates had become available (Go Launcher EX Pro was NOT one of them). On returning to the home screen all the widgets had gone again and the app drawer had been reset.

So I thought I would restore the settings. Oops, big mistake. This then wiped the dock settings and I had duplicate icons which it warned me about and said there was rubbish data that needed cleaning. When I did that the entire thing reset itself to how it was installed with the standard dock, 5 home screens (I only had 3) and 4 shortcut widgets to some apps.

It's a shame as some of the functionality is great and without these issues it would be the perfect launcher for me

I'm on a Desire HD with the stock rom with 2.21 version of Go Launcher EX Pro

[Android Apps and Games] DDoZ:
Hi man, I love this Launcher it's really fast on rooted xperia x8.

There is just one thing that I don't like much: Number of rows & colums in home-screen.

In ADW I've setted it up to have 7 rows & 5 columns, and widgets are thick & comfortable on it ( I'll post a screen soon ).

I'ld like to do it with this Launcher, and after that I'll keep only this launcher ^^.

Thats the only thing that keeps me away from using the launcher. I already wrote about it over a month ago but it didn't seem on their priority list to fix :(

Other launchers stretch it right...

You can use more desktops if you want to see more of the wallpaper but that's a really bad fix...

App names in folders on homepage

Hi,

i mainly use folders on homepage, because most of my apps are then only two clicks away ;)

Since last version (2.22) you can either show names of apps (& folders) on homepage, which enables also the app names inside folders, or you turn names off in settings and then also no names are shown inside folders (this is a change since 2.21).

I consider this a bug (or at least bad design), as apps inside folders are a different "design object" than apps on homescreens. Therefore there should be two options, one to either show or hide names on homescreens and one for names inside folders.

Beside this design issue i really like the launcher, tested a few and this one i like most (by far)!

Cheers

[Android Apps and Games] GreenRomeo:
Forgive me if this question has been asked before. I'd just like to know is there any option/theme to make the dock BIGGER than default? Dock is where I access my main apss all the time, and I prefer the dock icons to be at least as big as the home screen icons. I'm willing to have a dock of only 4 icons (like MIUI or iPhone) or even 3 (like Samsung Launcher) but not 5 small ones.

Any help is appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Don't think you can make it any bigger. :)
[Android Apps and Games] GreenRomeo:
Thanks for confirmation. A bit disappointed, but probably have to live with it. Go Launcher is a great launcher anyway.

There are times whereby I am losing my Widgets in homescreens after I reboot. Is this cause by GO Launcher itself or that fact that my apps are in ext2? :(
[Android Apps and Games] fjelsten:
Apps with widgets need to be installed to the phone memory.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
ext2 is considered phone memory.
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
But is that partition on the removable memory card? If so you shouldn't install apps with widgets on it. It always takes some time to mount the card if you reboot your device.

[Android Apps and Games] Irwell:
I've tried all the launchers out there I think and this is the one that stuck for me. The only thing I'd like to see is some way of choosing stock icons for shortcuts or installing new icon sets without changing the full theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Habarug:
I know there are some themes out there, but is there a way to apply icon packages which aren't installable/ flashable?
[Android Apps and Games] cruzargel:
I hope in the next version, you can reorder icons inside a folder.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
You can do that now isn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
In the app drawer: yes

On the home screens: no

And sadly the order of the icons doesn't get synced between both of them.

When im in a app draw i have a option to Lock App in Task manager.

How exactly this work? The app locked don't start until i ask?

Tks.

Locked apps don't get closed if you use the "close all" function at the top of the task manager. And in the settings you can set up the task manager to not show locked apps.

It has been a while since I have been so impressed by an app for android. Clean, lots of features and loads fast.

I do have one issue, I removed one of the icons on my dockbar and am unsure how to get it back now. Everything else has been pretty straight forward.

I'll post a screen shot.

The one next to the download shortcut, is there a way to get it back without resetting all my settings?

EDIT: Nvm I held it down and now it allowed me to change it back to what I wanted. It wasn't allowing me to do that earlier, tried it a few times. Well its all good now.

[Android Apps and Games] regP:
Why is it that this launcher shows apps in the running tab that arent running and never were on the current boot?
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Because they're running. Not all apps require a manual start to have some process/service running in the background.
[Android Apps and Games] regP:
I'm talking about apps that dont have any background services though.

Perhaps you should provide examples of apps you see running in GLE that aren't running and don't show up as running in the Android settings running lists.

[Android Apps and Games] maxjk:
Scrolling orientation should be set to horizontal
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
But what if I don't want to scroll horizontally? I don't see why that would make a difference for a circular scroll.
[Android Apps and Games] maxjk:
Perhaps in a next update?

I really learned to appreciate horizontal scroll with GO launcher though. The icon effects are really nice as well. Loving this launcher
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Wow, I never realized that horizontal worked so differently than vertical.

Why though? Really, shouldn't both ways have both options for continuous and page by page? It's really no different.

When you turn on the airplane mode, and after turn off the phone. Turning on again and turn off the airplane mode, some icons doenst load. Normally is all the icons from the apps that were moved to the SD card...

Can we guys have a look on that?

[Android Apps and Games] mr_torture:
I'm testing it for the last 5-6 months, and I can say that it's an great launcher, improving from version to version, BUT I still prefer LauncherPro, for one, but one crucial thing.

And it is the App Drawer.

So to be more specific, I have SE Xpera Mini Pro (remember, it's that small phone, with display resolution of 240x320 pixels), and I never liked the appearance and design of default home launcher of Xperia. And I decided to test LaucherPro, and I was amased by the way it looks and the way it works. Smooth, fast, customisable, and so...

So then I found out about GO Launcher and decided to test it. And, at the first look I was amased even more than with LauncherPro, but then I found out that app drawer is rendering icons in very bad way, because of its tight space. Upper tabs (all / recent / running) are taking too much space, so icons are placed very tightly, and if you don't turn icons labels off, they are overlaying icons below them, and it looks very very ugly.

Developers could solve this by including option to remove upper tabs or by including 3x3 grid option in app drawer. But neither of that is ever included.

And I never had this kind of problems in LauncherPro, so I have to stick with LauncherPro for now, untill they solve this, or untill I change my phone.

Cheers.

I love this launcher as well but got fed up with it because of a wallpaper problem;

whenever I apply a new wallpaper to my homescreen it sometimes does not show up, its still on the wallpaper I was trying to change. I would sometimes have to do it twice for the correct wallpaper to show up.

Has anyone else had this problem ?

Outside of that it is great.

Interesting. Could I just change the minfrees with autokiller instead and then make the launcher harder to kill separately?

I'm not quite clear on how to make the launcher harder to kill. Where was that exactly? Was that the change in the local.prop file? I do not have an "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" entry in my local.prop file.

I'm using a Droid X, running stock/rooted Gingerbread, not CM7 or a different custom rom.

Hi read the posts of the second link i gave (the whole thread) there is explained a more easier and clear way to set it up. The script might work on non CM7 ROM's too.
