I am also puzzled by the two different ways based on pressing the homescreen or using menu>add.

Other than that, I really like the improvement: scrolling is smoother and I also like the new UI for adding apps/widgets etc to the homescreen. One thing I don't like (and I also don't like it in GoLauncher HD) is that when you choose to add a widget, you first only see the GoWidgets and you have to press the widget button again to see the other widgets...

I agree. The new UI when long pressing an empty space on the home screen seems unnecessary. Maybe I just have to get used to it. And using the transition effects when scrolling through the home screens on the top part of the UI doesn't make sense because the screens are not full screen. I think a simple slide would work better. It looks funny when the translucent background slides, but the representation of that home screen has a transition effect.

Still, a great launcher. Thanks to the Go Dev Team for all the hard work!

I think I found a bug. While my music is playing in the background, when I open the app drawer I can't change the media volume but when I go back to home screen, I can change media volume.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm using beta 2. Same problem happened on beta 1.

What people are talking about when they say 4 dock icons that are the same size as the rest of the icons on the screen, look at the stock touchwiz launcher, THAT is what hundreds of people are requesting.

Just installed the Beta 2.
Can you please bring back the little popup when klicking in the "Running App" tap of the App-Drawer on an app icon. It was very usefull. It showed Info, Kill, Go to, etc.
Opinions?

just a suggestion: can you add a auto-update feature for BETA users? Just so we don't have to go to website, download, transfer to phone etc.

Is it possible to have a widget flush to the bottom of the status bar now?

The last time i tried there was a gap between the top edge of the widget and the bottom edge of the status bar.
The home screen indicator is off.

Using ADW now and previously LauncherPro which allows me to do that.

I'm using beta 2 and it seems that the gestures aren't working perfectly anymore. Swiping up and down isn't registered well.

You know what irks me about GO? Theme selection. Go store, click on a theme, go to Play, decide you don't like it -- get kicked all the way back to the home screen. Any way the theme chooser can be more persistent? Otherwise I love it.

    =About GO Launcher=
    GO Launcher is the most popular home app in Android Market. It allows users to customize home screen, change themes, use smooth transition animation as well as various widgets and screen locks. It brings you a fresh and extraordinary mobile operation experience.

    =Features=
    - Thousands of personalized themes
    - Various widgets and screen locks (weather, switcher, calendar…)
    - Extremely smooth transition animation
    - Smooth flipping operation
    - User-defined folder to easily categorize apps
    Many options in preferences to help you customize you phone!

    =Tips=
    1. How to get themes, widgets and lockers?
    a) Search ‘go launcher theme’, ‘go widget’ or ‘go locker’ in Android Market.
    b) Use GO Store via menu button in GO Launcher.
    2. How to set transition animation?
    Use ‘Effects settings’ via button in GO Launcher.
    3. Icons are too small?
    Use ‘Icon Size’ option in ‘Preferences->Visual settings->Icons’ to make icons bigger.
    3. Long press the app icon to enter editing mode on home screen and app drawer.
    4. Glide up to open menu and glide down to pull down notification.
    5. The widgets in the screenshots belong to GO Widget, attainable from Android Market or GO Store.

    =Important=
    1. GO Launcher is a totally free app without any charge.
    2. If you cannot set ‘GO Launcher’ as the default home app, download ‘Home Manager’ to fix it.
    3. ‘DIRECTLY CALL PHONE NUMBERS’ permission?
    It's required by the feature to create shortcuts of ‘person’ and ‘direct dial’. GO Launcher won't make unattended phone call and cost your money.
    5. ‘READ CONTACT DATA’ permission?
    It's required by the feature to create 'person' shortcut as well as to add contact folder.

    Our commitments are respecting user privacy and delivering cool experience. Please help us by rating this app and recommending to the others.

    Question to Product Manager ugujun:

    Can you remove Application manager which checks for applications update and make it a plugin? It hogs in the background otherwise a very good launcher.

    This has always been bugging me, but how does GoTeam actually make a living out of giving the app for free? Personal data sale?
    Sorry, no personal data sale!
    We sell themes to get money and GO Launcher is totally free.

    it just redundant, we have physical home button man..

    Speak for yourself. Not redundant for me.

    I'm glad there is a home button on app drawer when using it on my Kindle Fire.

    I just believe we have the right to complain/ask for updates/ etc.. by virtue of the fact that we are exchanging something for a service. Its just deceitful to claim its "free" . That's all.

    Then by your terms, everything is "paid" and requires "exchanging something" ?
    The guys are working hard, and just because its a day or two late on a update, which according to me is a major update, doesn't mean their just lazy or anything. Just give them a bit more time and im sure they'll do as they said.
    I'm not trying to go out on war here or anything, just saying that complaining will not get you the update faster.
