Just wanted to post this , It is on the market too. Very nice launcher with sideways scrollable dock and pinch to select different homescreens.
and of course very speedy.
the xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664149
I´ve been using this for awhile now and i think it much smoother and faster than LP. I really recommend this homescreen!
I just downloaded Zeam and I'm test driving it now. That and skyfire browser. Both look quite promising so far.thanks for the recommendation.
Just downloaded this and it is now my default launcher, thanks very much
I really should change my signature as I dumped the Blackberry for Android
I just found this other day, Man I've been missing out on some speed!
I've been a fan of LauncherPro for a while and brought it even though I never use any of the widgets that come with it. Sure LauncherPro is AWSOME but Zeam blows it out of the water purely based on speed. I sometimes run out of memory and LauncherPro reloads itself or has a fit (hey the developer even knows this so he's doing a complete rewrite of LauncherPro NOW) but with Zeam I have yet seen it reload itself due to lack of memory, and even if it did reload itself its hell fast!
Zeam full screen mode with LCD Density Changer set to 180 and a decent Clock wdiget makes my sgs look all so pwetty and no fear of ram issues as Zeam only uses 10megs while the Best launcher which is LauncherPro uses about 22-30megs. Sure Zeam don't have ALL the features and widgets that LauncherPro has but damn, with the extra speed and ram you can find 3rd party widgets
I give this launcher two thumbs and toes up

make zeam the default - sort of
Hi,
I also love Zeam, but would like to make it my default launcher. When I reboot my Galaxy it still comes up with twlauncher as the default interface.
Can anyone tell me how to make zeam launch rather than twlauncher?
@ninereeds did you check the box that says "use by default for this action"? if so then it will go into Zeam each time.
i think you can only do this once otherwise it goes to tw launcher. if you missed out then the simplest way would be to uninstall zeam, then reinstall, press the home button and it will ask you again what do you want to open.
hope this helps
Does this launcher have a selection for Swype up-applications ?
Im using ADW and in swype up i have enter an application which is very usefull for me...(its a screen off application and with a swype up with my finger on the screen the phone closes)

You need to download Home Switcher from the market, you can then setup Zeam as your default launcher from there, when you reboot Zeam will be the launcher plus Home switcher is Free
Definitely my new launcher! Great post! Love the bar at the bottom!

home switcher doesn't work with froyo though, incase you are using froyo.
otherwise works really good on elcair
I'd like to switch over from LauncherPro to Zeam and try it out again, but I can't make do without either the Samsung widgets or those of LP. If anyone can guide me to third party widgets for friends streams, and other widgets like in LP, I'd love to give Zeam another go...
Gave it a try. I liked it until I tried to find a way to hide certain apps from the app drawer. Looks like that's not possible, so back to LauncherPro for me.
Maybe in future it will get more features, then I'll take another look at it.
WOW miles fast than Launcher Pro. Only setting I'm missing is the hide apps in app drawer which I can live without given the speed improvement and the awesomeness of that bottom bar.
Impressive and certainly has potential but needs more customisation options to be able to compete with ADW & Launcher Pro in my opinion.
Hi,
if you would like to make Zeam as your default Launcher you have to use ClearDefaultHome (Market app and it's free). It's the same as HomeSwitcher but supports all Froyo releases.

Hello,
is there a simple way to replace all the Samsung standard icons with the Vanilla (stock) Android icons?
I really don't like many of them (e.g the ugly messaging icon).
Thanks in advance
Hmm...maybe with launcherpro you can change icons for apps you put on your homescreen. You can't do that with app drawer.
The only way seems to install a aosp-clean rom (when we'll get cyanogen I think we'll be ok) OR to install the aosp version of the apps you're interested in...guess they won't all work, but some should. Music will definitely work (I used it in some rom, and the samsung icon is really horrible), also calendar and messages I think should work...of course that would change also the application itself, not just the icon...
Download ADW Launcher, and then search for "aosp adw theme" in market and install.
Folder organizer might be useful in this case.
Although haven't tried!

I do it but that way i still don't have the AOSP drawer like the second picture that you can see here
there's a setting somewhere in ADW to activate that kind of drawer?

No, that's the 3D App Drawer from Launcher Pro in that picture.

ok thanks, I misunderstand what somebody says in other forums.
thanks again.
check out this new enhanced version of ADW launcher from the same developer as Christmas present.

Coming from Go Launcher, none of this is new.
cool, faster than Go Launcher
Pretty fast, I like it! The app drawer is sooooo smooth (compared to launcherpro). but launcherpro widgets are too useful lol. I run like 4 launchers on my sgs lol.

I agree but go launcher still falls short when compared to ADW and launcherpro in terms of customization options available.
I think it's the best one

Gingerbread launcher has blown everything else out the water for me at the moment. Basic but solid and fast. I have not used my LauncherPro for ages now.
Installed this yesterday and while launcher pro is good this EX version is by far the most advanced launcher out there. For starters there is icon and label scaling, easy icon swapping for not just schortcuts but also folders. Groups in the app tray (although I haven't figured out how they work exactly.) And custom animations. Definitely worth the couple bucks and the small hassle of switching.
IMO this just raised the bar and it should force some new features in the competing launchers which is always a good thing.
only 2 swype gesture, not good for me
Isn't this launcher open source? What's stopping anyone from making a free fork?

The EX version is not open source.
another FREE fast Launcher is: Zeam Launcher
Anyone else unable to backup ADW settings? I could the first time but it now give me a "Error backing up ADW settings" message. I can backup the desktop config just fine.
Best launcher I've tried and I've tried them all.

Yeah that's the best one, soo much customizable and smooth. I'll miss the Launcher Pro glass dock BTW
Is it me or can't you change the dock in adw launcher?

Same issue here as well...
"Backup desktop configuration" is working without any problem. But ADW settings has got an error message only.
Hi there,
I've been looking around on how to install buttons, but I can't find anything. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks in advance
Edit: New extra question XD. I downloaded a theme with 4 lockscreens. How do I switch between them? (Using Darky's ROM)

Depends on the launcher. I'm not sure how other launchers handle it but in ADW (EX) you just can longpress a shortcut icon to assign a new icon to it
I would also recommend ADW Launcher - has lots of free themes in the App Market, too & great settings customisation

Hmm. Is there any possibility to do this via launcherpro or do i need to get ADW laucher?

Same process as ADW for launcher pro, long press change icon> custom icon (presuming you have some custom icons) .....
Ummm I want to change the icons of my home menu not the icons from my launcher. I can't figure it out tbh... just doesn't work the way you say it. Am I doing something wrong?
Anyone?
/10chars
Anyone? Is it Launch Pro dependant? The installation of custom home icons that is?
The threads of the originators I've come across don't have any guides as to how to do it.
He guys, I have a question: is it possible to hide the adw dock when opening the app-drawer?
I've been searching the adw menu for hours but I can't find any solution for my problem.
I use CM 7.1.0 and in the beginning, I think I had such a configuration (not pretty sure).
Thx in advance
Menu > ADW Settings > UI Settings > Drawer Settings > Full Screen.
That's using ADW Launcher EX, I assume the setting is in the same place for ADW Launcher.
Unfortunately there isn't such a menu point to find. I made some screenshots of what I can see in UI-settings. Is it possible that the 5 icon dock inhibits what i want?

Don't think it's anything to do with the number of icons on the dock, I can use 5 here with full screen app drawer without a problem. I guess ADW EX has its settings menu laid out differently to the normal ADW launcher (screenshot attached of the relevant option in ADW EX); maybe it isn't possible in the free version then?
Edit: This post by the ADW dev seems to indicate that it was a feature added to ADW EX, so you might have to stump up the £2.00 for that version if you want it that badly.
That would definitively explain why I can't find a way to do that. What confuses me, is that I think I already had the dock disappearing, I must be tripping
So I guess I have to purchase ADW EX. It could be worse^^
And a big thx for helping me!
