With latest update app drawer no longer lags. Although folders still do. But overall it seems faster.

Can we change the app launching animation to set to default android management..? The Go launcher Ex animation is nice, but the CM 7's new animation downported from ICS looks more pleasant..

Would be really nice to have more then 9 screens, as it was before.....I chosen GO LAUNCHER because it was possible to add as much screens as I wanted. Any chances to revert it in new update or any chances to go back to previous version?

Folder grid size

Hi, great launcher it's almost perfect!!!
I have noticed some problems however:
1) On ICS it's much more lagging than on Gingerbread. I'm on a Galaxy S with ICS AOKP 4.0.3. Note that other launchers (stock, nova and QQ launcher) performs perfectly smooth.
2) On ICS the background service (AppService) eats way too much ram. Now I'm at 48 MB, whether on Gingerbread with the EXACTLY same configuration, it was around 22 MB. As a workaround I tried to disable the service (enabled=false) in the AndroidManifest.xml and all works as before, so: why is needed a background service in go launcher?
2) Could be possible to add an option to customize the grid size of an open folder? currently it is fixed to 4x3 (cols x rows), I'd like to expand it to 4x4.

Thank you again for your work!

I agree

I agree, please allow for this option again. I experienced no crashes when I had the option for more then nine screens and I have choosen to revert back to version 2.83 unless there is a change back to more then nine screens. Unless 3.0 has something I cannot live without...

Thanks for the great Launcher

Love this launcher but note that you still need the stupid switch download to use lockscreen gesture which is really cool. This switch thing runs in the background consuming valuable memory. Sigh! Back to 2.82

oh, thats a shame, sometimes I use it more when I want to try a lot of new widgets :(

In other side if you can, please please please change the folders. Even if your launcher it is hands down the best and the folders inside drawer it is the most killer feature of your launcher against others, they are very slow oppening and should be more like touchwiz, dont animate it from up to down, simply open it with 16 items.

With some improvements in the folders, I can't think in any other improvement, it will be perfect.

Hey, our new folder is coming!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    =About GO Launcher=
    GO Launcher is the most popular home app in Android Market. It allows users to customize home screen, change themes, use smooth transition animation as well as various widgets and screen locks. It brings you a fresh and extraordinary mobile operation experience.

    =Features=
    - Thousands of personalized themes
    - Various widgets and screen locks (weather, switcher, calendar…)
    - Extremely smooth transition animation
    - Smooth flipping operation
    - User-defined folder to easily categorize apps
    Many options in preferences to help you customize you phone!

    =Tips=
    1. How to get themes, widgets and lockers?
    a) Search ‘go launcher theme’, ‘go widget’ or ‘go locker’ in Android Market.
    b) Use GO Store via menu button in GO Launcher.
    2. How to set transition animation?
    Use ‘Effects settings’ via button in GO Launcher.
    3. Icons are too small?
    Use ‘Icon Size’ option in ‘Preferences->Visual settings->Icons’ to make icons bigger.
    3. Long press the app icon to enter editing mode on home screen and app drawer.
    4. Glide up to open menu and glide down to pull down notification.
    5. The widgets in the screenshots belong to GO Widget, attainable from Android Market or GO Store.

    =Important=
    1. GO Launcher is a totally free app without any charge.
    2. If you cannot set ‘GO Launcher’ as the default home app, download ‘Home Manager’ to fix it.
    3. ‘DIRECTLY CALL PHONE NUMBERS’ permission?
    It's required by the feature to create shortcuts of ‘person’ and ‘direct dial’. GO Launcher won't make unattended phone call and cost your money.
    5. ‘READ CONTACT DATA’ permission?
    It's required by the feature to create 'person' shortcut as well as to add contact folder.

    Our commitments are respecting user privacy and delivering cool experience. Please help us by rating this app and recommending to the others.

    Question to Product Manager ugujun:

    Can you remove Application manager which checks for applications update and make it a plugin? It hogs in the background otherwise a very good launcher.

    This has always been bugging me, but how does GoTeam actually make a living out of giving the app for free? Personal data sale?
    Sorry, no personal data sale!
    We sell themes to get money and GO Launcher is totally free.

    it just redundant, we have physical home button man..

    Speak for yourself. Not redundant for me.

    I'm glad there is a home button on app drawer when using it on my Kindle Fire.

    I just believe we have the right to complain/ask for updates/ etc.. by virtue of the fact that we are exchanging something for a service. Its just deceitful to claim its "free" . That's all.

    Then by your terms, everything is "paid" and requires "exchanging something" ?
    The guys are working hard, and just because its a day or two late on a update, which according to me is a major update, doesn't mean their just lazy or anything. Just give them a bit more time and im sure they'll do as they said.
    I'm not trying to go out on war here or anything, just saying that complaining will not get you the update faster.
