Just to say top job guy's . . . a first rate launcher with lots of additional features other launchers do not have, been using it for a few years now, I often install the betas from your blog site prior to releases in the play store.

Couple of things I would like to mention (but not deal breakers):

1. your search panel in the app drawer, could you remove or add an option to remove the default 'search' text, I personally think the text styling looks gaudy / cheap, not in keeping with the rest of the polished interfaces within go launcher.

2. a feature which has been requested thousands of times, the ability to define the number of apps on the dock bar.

3. transition effect suggestion / improvement: cylinder effect that actually 'bends' the screen images, the current effect 'chops' the screen images which doesn't quite look right . . IMO

Great work guys . . . thanks for all your hard work

It's hard to do that.
Can you please install another launcher to check the transiton?

My programmer often gives me a hard time because I assume things are easy to do, so I understand if its difficult. I'm not demanding a new feature or anything, just want you guys to be aware. :)

I installed ADW Ex and 360 Launcher. 360 used my phone's default app transitions but didn't have their own built-in ones. ADW has an option to keep the phone's default app transitions or use one of ADW's built-in ones.

Thank you for hearing me out!

Great work. One thing I would like to see in an up coming version is the ability to run 4 icons only on the dock and have them space properly across the dock to allow for a touchwiz or lgHome style look to the dock.

Awesome work.

Is it somehow possible to make the dock icons bigger? In previous versions i could do that by just setting the icon size to large (or something similar, I'm not an elephant). No I can only resize all the icons at once. If i scale the icons up, all icons except dock icons are too large, if I leave it to default, the dock icons are way too small.

It's related to the app update function.

Yea, we will bring out a new design for that.

2. a feature which has been requested thousands of times, the ability to define the number of apps on the dock bar.

Coming soon. What I can say is that, in v2.86 or maybe v2.87, you can get this function to change the number of apps on the dock bar.

3. transition effect suggestion / improvement: cylinder effect that actually 'bends' the screen images, the current effect 'chops' the screen images which doesn't quite look right . . IMO

Cool...

We will make icons bigger in near future.

download link for beta 3 doesn't work properly: file of 0 bytes



BTW, tested 2.85 Beta 2 on LG Optimus 3D + Android 2.3.5 rooted ->

-good: much smoother transitions, very nice!
-bad: only 9 screens now!?! (Suggestion: increase it to 12 doing shorter the miniatures at global view, so grid would be 3x4, instead of 3x3, if pagination not possible)

but thanks a lot, love this launcher!

Really now its been quite a time when I stopped using the go launcher and started using adw launcher ex cause due to some features absent:

1) wanted the dockbar in the app drawer same as touchwiz

2) wanted 4 icon in the dock again same as touchwiz

3) wanted transperant statusbar while using transperant cm7 themes

4) Not to lag while using live wallpaper even while using Samsung galaxy s2 by me when ram cleared

5) expecting more vertical transition like vertical paginated and all of the effects present in horizontal transition like cube, sphere etc present in vertical transition in apps drawer section

6) just want an option to change the icon size in dock even for mdpi device and should work independently



seriously man want all this changes as soon as possible.


PROUD TO BE "ACE"TEEMED
, AND ALSO YES HIT "thanks" IF I WAS OF ANY USE TO YOU....... :-\

    =About this post=
    Hey xda guys, here is GO Launcher Dev Team and I'm the product manager who is in charge of GO Launcher EX.
    We will bring out GO Launcher v3.0 in near future which includes a lot of new features.
    I will release every beta version here and hope that you can tell me how you feel about our new features.[/FONT]

    =Newest Beta Version=
    Next version is v3.02 and there are some new features mentioned below:

    1. (New) Combined interface of launcher and locker theme preview

    Download: please click here

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    =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.
