Very impressive, and very fast launcher. The one request I would make would be the ability to add shortcuts to the launcher bar on the bottom (the same short cuts you can access from the long-press and/or "add" menu). I use Simi Folder shortcuts to have more quick access to apps from the bottom launcher bar.
Too many reports of it not working with ICS, sorry...

Pm me with an email address and ill send you a test version. As I said, I only have my own device for testing, makes things difficult.
Also I'm kind of pissed about bad reviews just because people don't read the description ...

Wait a few hours, currently I blocked the device, but that is no longer needed as I managed to block only ICS. I'll update the restrictions soon.
I'm having more work with this stuff than with actual coding...

Having a problem with the left side of the launcher. Nothing's there. Or I can't figure out how to add something there.
Running Samsung Fascinate Stock 2.3.5 + Root and a Voodoo kernel, no CWM.
Other than that it is really fast. One thing about the app drawer, is it supposed to accellerate so fast? It seems it scrolls quite a bit faster than my finger.

Long press on the empty spaces and add whatever you want there. Probably the default apps have a different name on your phone.
You can also change the other apps by the way.

Hmm it took 3 to 4 long press attempts to register. I could feel the haptic feed back when long-pressing but it took 3 or 4 attempts before the message came up.

Installed it on my SGS and deactivated it, since my buttons are now always shining ... and I don't like it, because that issue was not resolved when I changed my standard launcher back to Go Launcher Ex. But I have to admit, it is blazingly fast and I will most likely change back to it, if you resolve that issue!

49The Faster Than Light Launcher
Make no mistake, this is the fastest launcher you'll ever run. Small, light, configurable. The Gingerbread launcher as it should have been. No useless stuff, no compromises. Performance and usability are the driving forces here.
On version 3.0, most of the limitations on the Lite versions 2.x.x were removed. 3.0 Lite users have almost the full 2.x.x Pro specifications. 3.0 Pro users have a all new game to play now: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming. You can even mix Dock and Icon themes from different launchers. Google Play is yours for the take.
The Lite version still has some of the configurable options pre-loaded that cannot be changed. A lot more stuff is configurable on the full version, check the Pro Version Extras feature list below. Performance or user experience are in no way impaired on the Lite version.
Important: FTL supports all resolutions and ICS, but only 800x480, 854x480, 960x540 and 480x320 devices have 3D drawer enabled! Also ICS has no 3D drawer because it does not contain the "old" opengl interface. But as it is natively accelerated anyway, 2D drawer should be very fast.
Lite Version Features:
- Tweaked for extreme speed and smoothness
- Fully accelerated 3D Waterfall app drawer
- Option to use "normal" 2D app drawer
- Choice between 3 and 5 icon Dock
- Configurable Support for launcher auto-rotation
- Configurable Infinite looping of homescreens
- Configurable support for scrollable widgets
- Configurable number of homescreens: from 1 to 9
- Configurable bounce effect on homescreen transitions
- Configurable wallpaper scrolling
- Configurable transition speed of homescreens
- Configurable default homescreen
- Configurable "swipe up" to one of the following:
*show homescreen previews
*open app drawer
*hide status bar
*show and hide status bar
*open and close dock bar
- Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows
Pro Version Extras:
- Theming support: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming.
- Configurable support for resizeable widgets: only when adding them to the homescreen, you cannot edit them later.
- Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows, and 4 to 6 columns
- Configurable Dock icons size
- Configurable "swipe down" and "swipe down" independently to any of the following:
*show homescreen previews
*open app drawer
*hide status bar
*show and hide status bar
*open and close dock bar
- Includes anim speed: precise control over core Android windows/transition animation speed
Basic Instructions:
- On first boot, homescreens will be empty. Long-press anywhere and start adding stuff!
- 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 can uninstall apps directly from the homescreen: long press the shortcut (even in the app drawer), drag it to the trash can that appears where the dock was. If you drop it immediately FTL will only remove the shortcut, but if you wait a bit before droping, FTL will offer to uninstall the app.

Try it, you won't regret it!4more and more features included, im worried this will turn into a GO LAUNCHER alike
so many features requested, from people from GO LAUNCHER?
No need to get offensive...
Now seriously, up to now every feature added as no impact on performance, and that's my main concern. I don't mind adding stuff, as long as it is useful and does not bloat.
Even the theming was done in a way that it has no impact whatsoever on runtime performance.
But for full disclosure, here are my intended next steps for FTL, in no particular importance order, and definitely with no timeline or ETA associated:
- Fix the drawer always starting at "A". There's a guy always *****ing about this
- Improve the swipe up and down actions to be more configurable (like launching apps and whatnot)
- On the theming side, find a way to change individual icons
- completely re-do the dock code to allow more stuff
- Add a configurable app filter, or some sort of means to build personalized app lists to use on the drawers
Notice that stuff like "horizontal scrolling drawers" is not on the list. Not that it won't be on the future, but I honestly don't consider it a priority. Also over-the-top effects are not, and will probably never be on the list.
Bottom line, apart from the items I mentioned, I'm very much pleased with FTL V3.
Cheers4New release V1.4.0 is out
So, new version is out, but for now only full version. Sorry guys, I will of course update the Lite version also during the weekend, but I have to get some sleep...
Also the drawer starting always at the top of the list is still there, won't be that easy to change that.
Changelog:
- Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows, and 4 to 6 columns (must restart FTL for changes to take effect!)
- Configurable size of Dock icons
- Confirmed Froyo support
Cheers4
Thanks!
Sure it's ok to make requests, it's the all point of this thread: Listen to users and what they want.
Unfortunately what you are asking will not be in next version. But resizable dock icons and configurable desktop grid will.
Cheers4Version 3.0.0 is out
Ok guys,
This has been a long time in the oven. On version 3.0, most of the limitations on the Lite versions 2.x.x were removed. 3.0 Lite users have almost the full 2.x.x Pro specifications.
