Chameleon

[ncvikingx97]

Hey guys, who has tried out the new chameleon launcher? It is pretty good. Very intuitive. Although, i feel like there is not nearly as much customization. Does anybody want me to post a video?

Aww man! I was saving my Google play store gift card credit for this and I just realised that I only have 7 dollars left over so I can't buy this. I hope there is a sale for this app in the future

$10 is way too much for just a launcher I think... looks cool though.

It looks good, but I thought even $4 was to much for Nova...

I might be a little guilty about it, buy it is pretty good. The main feature that someone would want with this is the changing, which means it will take you to a home page at a certain time, depending on location

So what's the big deal about this?
I don't see anything special about this launcher. Plus $10 is way too much for a mere launcher, especially considering they used Kickstarter to gather their fund in the beginning.

It is just new. The main reason to buy it is because of the gos integration thing. So say you are a t school or work, it will take you to a customized place for those things

Awesome concept, apart from price, the only use provided widgets, laggyness and lack of customization is a big downfall but they should get fixed seeing that it's only v1

I don't actually know how practical this thing is by putting on a whole bunch of auto-update widgets clunking on the home screen to suck the battery.
I'd rather keep my home screen as minimalist as possible.

It should have been fixed in beta. There's no reason to bring something out of beta if there are glaring bugs and lack of features. Especially with a $10 price tag. They should have just had an open beta instead of charging people to participate. I mean Kickstarter.

I use it, I love it, doesn't affect my battery doesnt slow the tablet down(only full storage seems to do that). Ten bucks for something that you have the potential to use for the entire time you use android is not much when looked that way.

To the other guy wondering why they went on kickstarter first then just to sell it later. Let me explain people need food, drink, and a place to stay and or work. So kickstarter to fund the app and be able to pay people to work on it. I didn't have to rebuy it or anything, so

I got it earlier this morning and it's pretty nice, I dunno if I'll use it as my daily for a while though. I really wish it could use other widgets though... And they better not charge for new ones.

+1

I keep my home screens bare or to a minimum for this very reason.

But the location thing is cool I guess for people who need something like that.

Personally, I'll pass... $10 is way too much foe an app like this, IMHO.

The developers probably got rich off he funding from kick starter and re now recouping their actual costs trough the ridiculously high play store price. I don't see the Point of such a radical launcher departure. The novelty will soon we're off.

it's a neat idea, but let's be honest, no one's gonna use that changing homescreen feature. And it doesn't auto change, a popup comes up and asks u if you want to change homescreen. Kinda defeats the purpose, especially when it's only a swipe away.

 

[ncvikingx97]

True. It isn't as great as stock, but could be useful

I wonder if any developers here on xda with HTML skills be interested in converting existing apps into Widgets for this. Like a chameleon dedication thread of popular apps with API converted to be compatible with this launcher.
