Hello Michael,

Great work you did both on Zeam as well as on SickSky!

Just wanted to ask you if you are planning to incorporate user-sorting of applications (something I really missed much on Zeam).

Sure on your mind you have features that you would like to incorporate into SickSky. Are these public so we could comment or at least we would know what to expect and what to be looking forward to?

Anyway, thanks again for your work.

Looks good. Is there a way to swipe the page off instead of hitting the x or back button. Is there going to be widget support. If there is how do you access it. Keep up the good work it looks great.

A launcher shouldn't be dependent on the DPI. That's probably also the reason why Play Store says it would be incompatible with various devices cause they're running with a DPI != 240.

Thanks. I will probably implement user-sorting in custom shortcut panels in the near future. Not sure yet about the all apps panel. I don't have a public features list just yet :silly:

Thanks. The problem with swiping panels away is for example in the all apps panel it already needs swiping left/right and those panels that need to scroll up/down and not sure what touch events future panels will need. Hence the X or back for now. There might be a widget type panel in the future, not sure how it would work yet though.

I like the design of the launcher, but i got a few questions.
1. How can i delete apps in this launcher?
2. How i can set up weather location?

i really love zeam i just hope this new launcher will be as a small on memory as your earlier one. please please make it as a tiny as humanly possible. I never use anything more then the first screen and i have only like 4 icons on it. I figure the less memory the battery life.

peter-k · Aug 21, 2013

Same here. I have passed my phase of having 5 screens full of widget stuff. It only takes resources, and does not save time or work. Most of the time I anyway kept on trying to squeeze everything relevant on one screen. So why not leave the lesser relevant out to start with?

Now I only need calendar, weather, and a Wifi connector widget which gives me the names of the connection. The rest are a handful shortcuts. Fits on 1 1/2 vertical scroll screens. I have SickSky as my secondary launcher, it looks slicker and comes pretty close to what I need. As soon as there is a shortcut screen, or something like a shortcut floater it will be my primary launcher.

Thanks for the feedback. Currently working on some sort of shortcuts solution for the next release.

Of course

This is just awesome. Are you thinking of making possible to create custom panels in the future? Love the minimalistic but have too many apps to make it efficient.

Amazing work anyway!

PS: Another thought. Make the opposite gesture to get back to home panel

ectoplasma22 · Aug 21, 2013

Just a suggestion: you could add a widget page that would be great.
Btw nice launcher :thumbup:

Really neat launcher!

Besides some of requested features i would love to see a vertical app drawer with continuous slide like nova have!
When you add this feature i'll use it has my main launcher for sure!

Keep up the good work!

That's good to hear. I trust it will be a smart solution again.

A button that makes the notification area sliding down and then 5 or 6 extra buttons would be all I need. Or a side bar. I also like the Smart Launchers system with its app drawer's sorting in app-types, and it's few simple buttons on the opening screen.

A vision: One screen - the main screen that is empty now - working as a kind of universal information display screen, such as showing the last message(s) / call(s), or wifi connections and strength / speed, or battery usage and some selected system data, or the last picture taken, the last song(s) listened to, all such things. Something in the line which Sony intended with Timescape, but did not implement it consequently. But only if it does not take 50 megs as a foreground service. I'd pay for it as an add-on.

good laucher

Good launcher, someone will like it, thanks for your share:laugh:

Will it be possible to set up the weather panel in the coming versions?

At the moment this panel doesn't show any information.

I can see that every user has his own idea of what an ideal launcher should look like. Some ideas - in my eyes are against the original idea of Zeam launcher which in terms of simplicity and minimalism seems as a predecessor to the SickSky (correct me if I am wrong). I would love to see SickSky heading in a similar minimalist direction.

Myself (with Zeam launcher), I do not use widgets, my screens are completely blank and only thing I use is the drawer with the 5 most used applications. For anything else I go to the application list. The only thing that annoys me it gets re-sorted everytime I install/uninstall an application. Using the launcher in this manner, some ideas written in previous posts do not make much sense. But I accept everyones idea.

Anyway the thing I wanted to say is: if you - Michael - have an idea what SickSky should be like, please share it with us. It would probably be good to know in which direction to point our pleas and wishes.

Thanks
