Hi everybody, i'm the developer of Smart Launcher. There were other threads on xda about my launcher but I thought it was a good idea to start another one, update by me, to talk about its development. I hope this is not against the forum rules and if it is, i'm sorry.

Smart Launcher is an innovative launcher characterized by a minimalist design, low memory usage and an user-friendly UI that let you start any application with a few taps.
It is currently the only launcher on the store to features automatic cataloging of installed apps!

The developing team is composed by just me, so please be patient if sometimes i'm late with the updates.

Version 1.2.8 (current)
You can download it from the Google Play Store.

I'm working on a new version that bring new clock styles, new bubbles style and a strong code optimization in the drawer. There is a bug that cause the launcher to crash on drawer on some devices and I'm trying to understand why this happens. If you'd like to try the new version you can download and install this package. Let me know if any error occurs.

d) Different clock styles

a) It's a features i'd like to add in future.
b) Drawer icons are already themable, categories icons no at the moment.
c) Sorry, I don't think to add this feature in future.
d) I'm working on it.

I really do like this launcher. I purchased the pro edition. My two complaints-
1. Can't resize widgets
2. I'd like to be able to add sections/pages/categories. For example, I'd really like to have a favorites category.

1. I hope to manage to add this feature asap;
2. It's not so easy. If the original set of categories change, the auto-catalogation will stop working. I'm searching for a solution...

I'm using an LG optimus one, it seems the only way to fix the problem to uninstall and install the launcher again.

Are you still developing this app? I just found it last night and love it. I have one problem... Running sense based ROM and when I try to use this launcher it removes my gallery from my camera app. Any idea how to fix it?

This is a cool launcher. A couple of things I would suggest is to remember where you were in the drawer when you open it instead of always starting with the phone. Another thing is when you you launch an app from the home screen it doesnt go to where you left the app it goes to the start page.

This launcher is really awesome, I don't know if it is caching or just optimization, but opening it after almost every app ( 512 mb RAM aren't so much if you use CM and lastest GApps... ) and finding it already ready is fantastic!

The only thing I'd like is a category-free old-fashion drawer. I really like the JB default one, with horizontal paginating and effects, and having it would be the best for me. I find really difficult to use categories, I like to swype between pages of apps and find them all. With even this choosable, my Home would be perfect and fast!

I am really liking the appearance and function of this launcher as well. I can not figure out how to add an XDA APP shortcut on the screen though. It just allows me to select the XDA APP from within the launcher but that one does not have my preferred forum start page saved, if you know what I mean. I have a galaxy S3 from verizon so that is the forum I would like to go to when I select the XDA APP. However, becuase it links from the App drawer and not a shortcut, I have to manually search for the verizon galaxy S3 everytime.
Am I missing something?

Hi GinLemon

I am currently developing themes with multi launcher support. I was wondering if smart launcher supports or could support the feature of iconback, iconupon and iconmask. This would mean that icons we don't or haven't themed would still have a resemblance to the rest of the icons making the launcher/theme much more uniform.
I am testing this launcher on my no name $60 tablet this was bought as a worst case scenario device and it is working very well, I think I might keep it on here. Below are the specs of the device if it helps.

SOC
Name: Allwinner A13 @ 1.2Ghz
CPU Architecture: Cortex-A8
Cores: 1
GPU: Mali-400MP
RAM: 353Mb

System
Android Version: 4.0.4
Kernel: 3.0.8


Cheers

Christian
