Develop Bugs

Best New Launcher to Check out!

So I have found a new launcher that has great potential. Kind of reminds me of Wisbar Desktop from my WM days as you can put items anywhere on the screen and they are not locked into a grid like every other launcher. Besides swiping your pages side to side, you can also scroll down on each page like WP7.
Has lots customizations and the developer is extremely responses. Received a email back from him within 15 minutes after contacting him. Still has some bugs and he is aware of them and is constantly working on it.
I am running my screen at 720p and I totally recommend that as you can get lots on your screen!
It is free as well!

Here is a screen shot for ya...

I have been using this for a few days now and have to agree...coolest launcher I have used so far. This is as cool and "revolutionary" as when ADW and Launcher Pro came out for the first time.

I would need an explanation of why it needs permissions to make phone calls without my intervention before I can install it. I might be paranoid here, but that whole "without my intervention" bugs me.

I'll try this out but how do you get the magazine look for the page turn

Its smooth but I don't like how icons are not applied on a grid. Everything is free-standing and I can't get anything to align. Its really bothering me.

because its a launcher/app. If you were to set a contacts icon on the screen for direct dial or something like that, you would not be able to make a call because you didn't want that permission.
I'm pretty sure every launcher needs that permission.

I can't believe I didn't think of that. I don't add contact shortcuts, but it does make sense. I think I'll go download it now.

Thankx for the help

I think it's really nice but it crashes WAY too much.

Running CM7.
Haven't had a single crash yet.
I'm a complete ADWEX honk, always have been, but I must say that I really, really, like this launcher. The page-turning anims are simple but sick, IMHO, and it's such a lightweight launcher in general, I think I'm gonna keep this one for a while....
Very nice.

The developer is aware of the issues and is currently working on fixing them. I run into problems editing pages after I add a lot of items on the homepage.
Totally agree this can be the best launcher to date with as little more work.
If you haven't tried yet, drag items to the bottom of the screen as fat as can go and you will see you can then scroll the page down. There are probably so many cool things to do in the launcher. If anyone figures some tricks out, post it up!

has anyone figured out how to get a calendar widget to work?
Android agenda widget or any other full screen calendar widget doesn't want to work
so far, that's the only issue I have..really cool stuff!
thanks!

Simple Calendar widget works fine. Just do not choose the scroll option in the widget. Any widget that scrolls will not work.

thanks man, it was the "scrolling" option that was messing me up...
EDIT:
I have to say, once a couple small things work out, like sculling widgets, this launcher is going to be super hot...
Never saw anything so customizable as this launcher is..

Another cool trick I just noticed for lining up apps and widgets on the screen...
Hold down whatever you want to move. Then let your finger off of it to bring up the little menu that says edit, etc. Then either click the back button or touch somewhere else on the screen and it will leave your item highlighted. In cse you didn't know, at this point you can re-size your widget but if you move the whole widget around you will see red lines show up when it is lined up with other items near it making it simple to know where you are placing it.
It is kind of hard to explain but try and and you will understand what I am talking about....

Its pretty cool and has A LOT of potential.

pretty cool but could've been better

Missing Applications - Muppet operator?

Hey guys,
just unboxed and powered up my new 10.1 2014 edition but something very odd is happening. When starting up for the first time I stupidly asked it to restore from google all my apps (which were from my galaxy s4). Anyway, it did so. It also did two system updates.
Anyway, I now look in the Apps (you know that grid button, bottom right) and I can't see items like Evernote or Twitter yet, they are installed! I can however see them in the Application Manager. I have the grid set to "Show Alphabetical". I must be being a muppet so please tell me what stupid mistake have I done?
Thanks in advance!

Also noticed the Twitter widget isn't appearing .... very odd!

Look for Google, Samsung, and Galaxy Plus in the app drawer. They are folders and have other apps inside.

OK so you are correct for the APPS but not the widgets! Still don't have a twitter widget, for example. Also, what's really confusing me is that I can usually just use the search and type "evernote" (for example) and it would appear yet, it seems that as it's in a folder, it doesn't show up as a search result where as apps that aren't do show up.
Very unimpressive.
Never the less, I'm now up and running with 3rd party Facebook and Twitter widgets and have now managed to locate the missing apps.
Thanks Maris!
(I look forward to custom ROMs removing this limitation)

In widgets, check for "Discover" Twitter. Rather confusing.

Why on Earth would they mess with the normal names!? Anyway, I've discovered a 3rd party widget which is great and displays more than the standard (phone) widget. Thanks anyway!

Looking for a desktop dashboard

Looking for an app that I can leave open on my N7 when its on my desk that does a good job of showing me lots of info and refreshing at regular intervals.
Anyone have any experience with Chamelon Launcher? I see mixed review but looking to see if anyone has anything else to recommend.
Thanks!

I don't know if it will be what you want, but what I do is go to Settings | Display and set Daydream to Currents. When you set it there are some tabs up top and one of them says "When to daydream". I pick "either" but you can pick when docked or when charging.
If you have Currents set up to do news you care about, it works well.

I want weather, social stuff, news, maybe even something else customizable...starting t think I might just be better off with a good assortment of widgets...

Well Currents can read any RSS feed. So I would think you could set it up to weather, social media, etc. as long as you could pull an RSS for it. Now, granted, things that are formatted for Currents look better....

Dashclock widget. It comes with plugins which support a lot of apps you probably already have, supports daydream mode and looks good.

[Q] Do you know any chat widgets that can be embedded in my live show?

Do you know a chat widget that can be added to my live show? Has anybody tried RumbleTalk or ChatCat? I want to add a chat widget to my new website but need some help with recommendation on what is best to use

Chatwing is good many features , customize every aspect, embed into any web page, social login options, moderator controls, ban users. I integrate Chatwing chat room service to provide interactive element for my website - I highly recommend this.

Chat widgets for live shows and online events

It's important to be sure that the choosen chat solution can be embedded as a chat box (shoutbox).
Anyway, try Chatwee. Here is an article which should put some light on the must-have features:
blog.chatwee.com/2015/05/chat-room-for-live-streaming-sites when organizing live events.
I hope this helps!

Hi guys! Well I found something good on my own. Tried over 20 of them on the way.
After I tested like 20 of them I realized that none is as good as Rumbletalk is.
Why I like Rumbletalk? I can upload youtube videos, charts, works nice on phones, it is not a resourse hog and it is a safe application unlike many others chat application out there. You can also manage the design just as much as you want.
It really is the best html chat room application as I heard many times on the internet.

Well thanks for sharing but I wasn't satisfied with them at all. On the other hand Rumbletalk works really well. If any of you need help with instaling it or any other question about it you are free to send me a PM.

[HELP!] Conditions and temp showing as "Unknown" and "??"

I have been using Zooper pro forever now and I made the widget shown in this photo a few months ago and it worked fine, all of the data was shown including the current condition and temp, but for some reason or another it just shows "unknown" for the condition and "??" for the temp.
I have done everything I can think of to fix this issue, including changing the weather provider, checking my location settings and making sure they were set to GPS, wifi and cellular data and I've even gone so far as uninstalling and reinstalling Zooper to try to fix this.
Anyone know what would cause this and how to fix it?

Up...i've got same problem

got the same problem, but fixed for me.
I thought its broken, because i really often change and test different Roms.
i changed weather provider in Zooper Settings from yahoo to Yr.no including update weather information and that works on me.
Tried to change back, but yahoo and openweather dont work on me... So now i use Yr.no and it works

Having problems here too for adding a new location. Each time I use the search, it just shows up 'not found' , even the larger cities. Can't seem to get it to work anymore on all of the services, yahoo, open weather nor yr.no. The location I had set up though, seems to work fine.
Does anyone know if this is going to be updated? From my understanding yahoo is not available anymore, but i had been using open weather, which worked just fine for me.
btw - I'm getting a timeout error on openweathermap.org, maybe that has something to do with it?

The only provider that even kind of works for me is yr.no, but when I selected that provider it showed the current condition as "Tornado", so I don't think it's accurate at all.

I found this on the zooper website. It just says to try other weather providers and if that doesn't work to wait for upcoming updates. How long should we wait? The app hasn't been updated in over a year (March 12, 2015)

Strange thing here though. It seems that on my tablet, i can still add new locations. I have no idea why and why not on my phone.

Well, I just upgraded my phone to Android 6.0 and now it's working for the default weather provider. Weird.

Does Zooper need all location methods to be tuned on to work, like GPS, WiFi and Mobile Networks?
I alaways use location: GPS only, because of battery saving, but this can not be done and have Zooper widget working?
For me it looks like I need to use all, but why is this?

The Developers have stopped updates for the app and it is a problem at their end, if you paid for the app, you can request a refund as it is faulty and not what you paid for.

I have recently noticed that when I set location in Zooper widget, only Yr.no works now for weather information. It's not often I choose a widget with weather info and location but today I did. Before I used to use Open Weather map and the weather used to show up fine for the given location. Now it only shows "Unknown" and "??". The same applies for Yahoo!
I'm guessing it's because I'm using a newer phone than previously and it's not supported. Plus the fact that Zooper isn't get updated by the developers.

Problem fixed
Hey,friendss I just solve the problem if u r also facing the issue of weather unknown and temp. ? Then change youe weather provider,i had change it to yr.no and within a second problem had solved .

Thank you for the OP on this thread - found a solution to my issue by changing provider to yr.no.

I can also get the weather to show with yr.no BUT it dosent display the correct info. I can also add a location but it dosent save it... it also has some location already in there like India or some **** says it's 89° & sunny right now... I live in Cali & it's about 45° and 45min to 12am... LoL

You are a savior mate! Thanks.

Problem with "Tornado" fixed
Good news guys, I found a solution in German Forum how to replace the Word "Tornado" with actual weather conditions.
All Credits go to this: Guy!
If you want to get rid the word "Tornado" simply edit the Text and adjust the german words in your language (with google translate) and it will show the actual weather conditions!
