How do we do that on 4.0? long press homescreen no longer allows you to do that like it did on 2.3.4 at least not on my SGS2?

Hit the button at the top right to access the app drawer and drag shortcuts/widgets :) Launcher settings can be accessed by clicking the Tile Launcher icon in the app drawer.

hi nice launcher, but i dont like the shadows on top of the navbar and below the statusbar. maybe you can integrate an option to disable it in the settings?

thanks

edit: running aokp jb-mr1 (4.2.1), galaxy nexus gsm ,maguro

my transparent navbar is also gone with that launcher :(

Great work keep on moving it forward, I have one question ……Can this be used in conjunction or coexist with another launcher for example Nova or Apex?

Thanks, really nice launcher! Only problem I have so far is, that it refreshes (reloads tiles) every time I go to the home screen, which is a big awful (you have for a sec or sth. like that only the wallpaper until the tiles appear) - device is TF300T ;)

I have just found Launcher 8 the other week and have been playing with that. I am excited to see yet another launcher that is leaving behind the number of desktops for one continuous desktop. As others have said, this launcher has great potential!

I have a few suggestions from playing with launcher 8.

Tiles on the phone, I would like to see them able to size down to a quarter of what we can now.
Have the launcher auto re-size the desktop. Can the launcher auto detect when a user moves a tile to the current edge of the desktop and just add in a new row or column? Same for removing rows and columns.
Have the launcher settings come up when you press the menu button and/or when you press and hold the background. Seems silly to have them hidden in the app drawer. Some methods remain tried and true.
Give us a dock next to the app drawer icon as there is space we cannot yet use next to this icon. Or give us the ability to hide that and maybe let us double tap to bring up the app drawer?
Give us the ability to hide the notification bar. I think the launcher would look pretty slick without it.
Allow the use of an animated .gif as a tile icon.
Launcher enter / exit animation. Launcher 8 has an exit animation that lifts all teh tiles off the screen to the left just before starting whatever app you tapped.

Sorry for the laundry list! Looking forward to the development of this launcher.
Good luck! :good:

Just great - I have only two suggestions - support for icon packages will by fine (best to give us support for ADW icons), and second - some options for the app menu will by fine - like transparency background.

Hi thanks for the hard work so far. This is a laucher so far. Could you add option to drag apps into the same folder and also be able to resize smaller. Looks like this on one x plus with OrDroid 3.2.1 Rom. uploadfromtaptalk1357331262921.jpg

    Hey guys, here's a much improved alpha 2: Play Store Link

    I am currently on a trip so will reply to comments and update main post when I get a chance :)

    Small easter egg in this version: long click drawer to change to a 2nd home screen for your enjoyment. More coming soon!

    EDIT: updated first post and switched to Play store link
