[APP][2.2+][3 SEP 2012] FTL Launcher V3.1.3 - All resolutions - ICS compatible -

lowveld said:

Ok guys,

This is a small update, just concerning compatibility with Jellybean compatibility. Everyone should be able to install regardless of the android version.

I will continue working on improvements, and let you know how it goes.

Cheers!

Than you for the update. It works like a charm on my Huawei Boulder U8350.

It seems to be a little be faster but it may just be a feeling

thx for this launcher, very light and fast..

one request, can you add folder support? [2.3]??

i

Great luncher, simple and fast as light. Is any chance to add option "lock screen" for disable screen customization or hide aplications from appdrawer?

Thanks a lot and good luck in further work!

good launcher but needs option to keep in memeory sometimes it restarts wen i exit out of an app

I have a problem with a custom rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1790797

I can' see the home, it's all black, menus are working, but home and other desks don't work.

Could you please have a look on using FTL Launcher with this custom rom.

Thank you

Small feature request.

Can you add configuration for removing Home icon in all apps screen?

Thanks.

This great launcher has stopped it's evolution , nothing has been added to make it competitive as once it was !! @ Lowveld ... What are you doing my dear friend ?? You were once-upon-a-time a real creative genius , what has happened to you ??

I have been using this for a few weeks and I really like it but I found two problems with it. a major one and a minor one:

1. With every other launcher, if I select it's icon from Task Manager/Switcher, it will take me to the desktop. However, with this - nothing happens. This means it is virtually impossible to run a new app while staying inside some app.

2. The app drawer is nice and fast, but it could do with one more row visible. Too much scrolling with only four rows.

This app crashes (force close) immediately on a Samsung Galaxy Ace running Cyanogenmod 7.2. Works on everything else (HTC Desire, Desire HD, Xperia X10i, Samsung Galaxy Mini, Samsung Galaxy S) running the same ROM. Any ideas why? The only difference is that the Galaxy Ace is 320x480 resolution...

Has anyone got this app working on CM7 on a 320x480 display?

Logcat

Sorry for the double post, but I thought i'd post a logcat for the developer. Note that I haven't filtered it all, but all that was performed was a log was started, I hit the home key, picked FTL launcher, it force closed, then I hit home again, hit Zeam launcher, it worked fine, I went into aLogcat and stopped the log. Hopefully that'll be enough for you to make sense of it. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable on a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. See attachments for the log. Hopefully it's enough for a bug fix. I'd really like to use FTL launcher!

Thanks man, it will be very helpful! I'll get back to you here when I reach some conclusion...

--- update ---

It seems that it is a library issue with your ROM. I would say that you are either missing or have buggy rs script libraries.

That is causing the opengl HW acceleration to fail and crash the launcher. You should also probably have issues with a truckload of live wallpapers.

Please post here a link to the exact build of the ROM you are running, as you installed it. I'll try to figure it out.

I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.2 Stable on the Galaxy Ace S5830. You can find the link here -> http://get.cm/?device=cooper

You are indeed correct about live wallpapers. They are totally missing from my ROM. I tried installing another ROM, CM7 Apocolypse, and I can't even get that one to boot. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1700749)

I get the feeling that this issue is related to my device. There is either something messed up with my recovery (clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.6) or my SD card perhaps. I did a check on the ROMs I downloaded and the ZIPs were OK. I always do a full factory reset, including wiping the /system partition to make sure. At the moment, I'm feeling a little perplexed! Thanks for converting that logcat to English. Makes sense to me now

Will try a few things on my end and see if I can get to the bottom of this!

Cheers.

Edit: update. I tried installing an Android 2.3.6 stock ROM, FTL launcher works with no issues. Re-installed CWM 5.0.2.6 and the latest CM7 nightly and it's back to square one tried downloading a live wallpaper and that force closed too. I'm feeling pretty stumped right now...

I have a feeling it's just related to your app. I searched this thread and there is another person with a similar issue on CM7. It appears that CM took out live wallpapers to save space for the small internal memory, but I'm not sure if that's the cause. Other launchers seem to work fine. Maybe a special version is needed for the Ace and similar devices under CM7?

Edit edit: Another update. Live wallpapers were not included in the ROM, so I added Livewallpaperpicker.apk into the system/app directory, changed permissions, and live wallpapers work fine. However, FTL launcher does not

Edit Edit Edit: I will no longer have this device after tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to much more testing for you. However, my friend will have it, so I could ask him in the future if he could test something if you need me to.

Sorry for another double post, but I've also noticed that if I want to create a shortcut of a file in ES file explorer (eg. to a PDF file), it doesn't put it on any of my homescreens. Any idea why?

Hey lowveld, could you make a paged drawer? It could be horizontal or vertical, I don't actually care (hell, you could give us the option to choose too haha)

Thanks in advance, its my favorite launcher and I will stick with it till death, but I miss the tabbed drawer from all other launchers ):

Another issue

I can see a few pages back someone was saying they get a black screen when trying to run the Launcher on a HTC Wildfire (LDPI 320x240 display) running Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable (clean install). I can confirm I'm getting the same issue. I have attached a logcat. Not sure how useful this one will be, no major errors in the log. All I did was start the log, hit home, selected ftl launcher from my list of launchers, the homescreen was totally black. I hit home again, picked zeam launcher this time, it loaded OK, then I held home and selected alogcat and saved the log from there. Hope this helps in letting you patch up some bugs.

Cheers.

Looks lile lowvled doesn't really care about this thread anymore, I've been waiting for an answer for more than 10 days now...

Only thing this is missing is the ability to hide apps from the drawer. I think that option would go well with the simplistic desing of this otherwise great launcher.

- 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 have to wait at least 56 seconds for this to do anything. In the meantime it will just sit there doing nothing. Took me forever to figure out how to change these icons because the thing I tried first appeared to do nothing. Maybe it should draw some beachballs or something while you're waiting, to show that it's loading?

please be improved
I tried to press the widget on xperia xperia lot of widgets that do not exist
example : widgets "enable data"
