ADW.Launcher 0.8 released!
UPDATE:
A lot of people complained about the new way to layout items on desktop.
I know some widgets are being missaligned, but as actually our phones are not designed to display so much rows/columns, they overlap when putting alot of them.
What i didn’t notice is that even on 4×4 the display was so bad :P (my fault).
So I’ve released 0.8.1 with an OPTION inside screen preferences (disabled by default) so you can turn on/off the new “Auto Stretching” feature.
- If you leave it disabled, it will show icons/widgets like previous releases (but if you set up too many columns/rows, your icons will overlap)
- If you enable it, icons/wodgets will try to “autofit” inside the existing space (use it if you hace overlapping issues) :-)
EOF.
Previous post:
After a while, i’ve been able to put a few things on the “codewriter” and after some testing I think is ready for release.
News:
- Backup/Restore options inside settings, thank everyone to @Wysie_Soh!!!
- Support for scrollable widgets (not too many atm, but check PureMessenger widget, is awesome!)
- Support for setting just 1 desktop screen (some people asked for this)
- EXPERIMENTAL Support for upto 8×8 desktop columns/rows. I’ve mainly added this as petition from PaulObrien
- Now Folders/LiveFolders obey to the “Hide labels” option :-)
- Support for the “longawaited” extra shirtcuts. If you want to replace the desktop dots with a pair more LAB/RAB, just go settings.
Fixes:
- On “previews” mode you still could click widgets/icons
- The Applications button worked really bad on Froyo if dockbar was disabled.
- Some other minor things.
Enjoy!
Awesome… Man you´re a genius… !!! Thx a lot !! Best screen ever…
Thx for this!
Can we have an option to change text color/alpha on drawer icon text, please?
Hi Anderweb! Thanks for your great launcher! Will these be fixed in 0.82? Thx!
1) delayed dots;
2) removable extra shirtcuts (now addable but not removable);
3) delayed app name display in app drawer;
4) lagging preview transit (as mentioned above)
Can’t wait for the new up! Thx u r the man!
Great update except that my widgets are stretched out (Droid, Android 2.1, unrooted). Is there any way to restore them back to their original size?
The latest update is still laggy on the g1. I noticed when navigating to a certain screen all the widgets seem to open up in the backround, even after killing all tasks, they just re-open when going back to the launcher. This can be a problem if your someone that uses a lot of widgets. I’m not sure if this normal but I don’t believe the program was doing this in 0.78, any chance of a fix?..this is easily the best app for 1.6, as a g1 owner I truly appreciate it..keep up the good work
When can we get eclair or froyo icons for this 1.6 version?
I can’t get one of the icons to stick on the right side with secondary action buttons selected. The closest to the trashcan.
Hi, the configuration of number of rows and columns causes the folder size to change in the screen. Can you correct this so that the folder still fills the full screen? So when I configure 5 rows, the folder height shrinks. Or add a configuration option to control the size of the folder? Thanks.
it would be nice if the shortcuts wouldn’t be overwritten directly if you miss the trash-icon. so it’s annoying to replace that unintentional-placed shortcut if you use bettercut.
so is there a possibility to deactivate this functionality in settings if unneeded in future? would be nice :)
I absolutely love all the customization you incorporate into this app! Constant updates are a good thing. Have you tried to get together with the LauncherPro dev to create a monster home replacement? I think you should. If not keep up the awesome work.
