Hey,

Sorry for not answering sooner, I've been away. I'm all for people using and including ftl on custom roms, but I won't allow outside Modding.

To make it perfectly clear: I don't give you, or anyone else permission to change FTL. You either include it as is, or wait for me to do any mods you require and I agree to.

It may sound unreasonable, but I do have my reasons, so please respect my wishes on this.

Cheers

Not a problem lowveld. I completely understand and will respect your wishes. As such, would it be possible for you on your next build to change this colour? I know it's not high on your list of priorities (I see you are busy on your full screen caller id app), but would greatly appreciate it.

Again, many thanks for your great launcher.

Cheers

I've just purchased and installed the pro version overnight.

I am running ICS, but soon after install I realize the icon/lcd density sizes have changed and there is less real estate for icons ( ie, everything is larger )
Is this changeable? Is there a reason why it's so? I have a 800x480 screen and would like to utilize this to the max while using FTL. Going into system options no longer provide a 'smallest' option, only 'smaller' in font sizes.

Also, I've tried downloading some ICS trebuchet like themes and applying/restarting, but the only thing that appears to be changeable is the dock bar icons, not the actual theme itself. Could you direct me to one that is guaranteed to work?

There is some restrictions using theme manager. Cant select more than one default dock from adw theme, and i know there is a lot more docks in it. Please consider this for releases to come.

I got tired of getting 1 star reviews from Note users complaining it didn't work, that was the reason I blocked it in the first place.

I'll unblock it again, but if the situation repeats itself, I just re-block it...

    The Faster Than Light Launcher


    Make no mistake, this is the fastest launcher you'll ever run. Small, light, configurable. The Gingerbread launcher as it should have been. No useless stuff, no compromises. Performance and usability are the driving forces here.


    On version 3.0, most of the limitations on the Lite versions 2.x.x were removed. 3.0 Lite users have almost the full 2.x.x Pro specifications. 3.0 Pro users have a all new game to play now: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming. You can even mix Dock and Icon themes from different launchers. Google Play is yours for the take.

    The Lite version still has some of the configurable options pre-loaded that cannot be changed. A lot more stuff is configurable on the full version, check the Pro Version Extras feature list below. Performance or user experience are in no way impaired on the Lite version.

    Important: FTL supports all resolutions and ICS, but only 800x480, 854x480, 960x540 and 480x320 devices have 3D drawer enabled! Also ICS has no 3D drawer because it does not contain the "old" opengl interface. But as it is natively accelerated anyway, 2D drawer should be very fast.


    Lite Version Features:

    - Tweaked for extreme speed and smoothness
    - Fully accelerated 3D Waterfall app drawer
    - Option to use "normal" 2D app drawer
    - Choice between 3 and 5 icon Dock
    - Configurable Support for launcher auto-rotation
    - Configurable Infinite looping of homescreens
    - Configurable support for scrollable widgets
    - Configurable number of homescreens: from 1 to 9
    - Configurable bounce effect on homescreen transitions
    - Configurable wallpaper scrolling
    - Configurable transition speed of homescreens
    - Configurable default homescreen
    - Configurable "swipe up" to one of the following:
    *show homescreen previews
    *open app drawer
    *hide status bar
    *show and hide status bar
    *open and close dock bar
    - Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows
    ​


    Pro Version Extras:

    - Theming support: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming.
    - Configurable support for resizeable widgets: only when adding them to the homescreen, you cannot edit them later.
    - Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows, and 4 to 6 columns
    - Configurable Dock icons size
    - Configurable "swipe down" and "swipe down" independently to any of the following:
    *show homescreen previews
    *open app drawer
    *hide status bar
    *show and hide status bar
    *open and close dock bar
    - Includes anim speed: precise control over core Android windows/transition animation speed​


    Basic Instructions:

    - On first boot, homescreens will be empty. Long-press anywhere and start adding stuff!
    - You can add/change the shortcuts on the dock bar: Long-press the place you want, and wait for the a popup to show, allowing you to choose what activity you want there.
    - You can uninstall apps directly from the homescreen: long press the shortcut (even in the app drawer), drag it to the trash can that appears where the dock was. If you drop it immediately FTL will only remove the shortcut, but if you wait a bit before droping, FTL will offer to uninstall the app.


    Download link from Google Play:

    Try it, you won't regret it!

    more and more features included, im worried this will turn into a GO LAUNCHER alike

    so many features requested, from people from GO LAUNCHER? :D
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    No need to get offensive... :p

    Now seriously, up to now every feature added as no impact on performance, and that's my main concern. I don't mind adding stuff, as long as it is useful and does not bloat.

    Even the theming was done in a way that it has no impact whatsoever on runtime performance.

    But for full disclosure, here are my intended next steps for FTL, in no particular importance order, and definitely with no timeline or ETA associated:

    - Fix the drawer always starting at "A". There's a guy always *****ing about this :)
    - Improve the swipe up and down actions to be more configurable (like launching apps and whatnot)
    - On the theming side, find a way to change individual icons
    - completely re-do the dock code to allow more stuff
    - Add a configurable app filter, or some sort of means to build personalized app lists to use on the drawers

    Notice that stuff like "horizontal scrolling drawers" is not on the list. Not that it won't be on the future, but I honestly don't consider it a priority. Also over-the-top effects are not, and will probably never be on the list.

    Bottom line, apart from the items I mentioned, I'm very much pleased with FTL V3.

    Cheers

    New release V1.4.0 is out

    So, new version is out, but for now only full version. Sorry guys, I will of course update the Lite version also during the weekend, but I have to get some sleep...

    Also the drawer starting always at the top of the list is still there, won't be that easy to change that.

    Changelog:
    - Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows, and 4 to 6 columns (must restart FTL for changes to take effect!)
    - Configurable size of Dock icons
    - Confirmed Froyo support

    hi,

    Immediately bought it! What a nice app! Is it ok that i make a request?

    - folders in app drawer
    - resizing of widgets

    regards
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Sure it's ok to make requests, it's the all point of this thread: Listen to users and what they want.

    Unfortunately what you are asking will not be in next version. But resizable dock icons and configurable desktop grid will.

    Cheers
