Good thinking. I have standard smart launcher 3 theme. GravityBox battery bar across the top of the screen. Other than that it's stock.

It is the new Nexus Launcher that was leaked today. Similar to the Google Now Launcher.

How is that launcher working outon the R1, does the google now swipe work? How about the Wallpaper switcher? Any force close issues? Thinking about flashing the zip and trying it, but if it's not worth it, I don't think I'll bother with it.

I've been using it since I saw it was available(going on 48 hours I think) and not a single FC, freeze up or slow down. I've picked widgets, and wallpapers. Swipe right and Google Now page opens. Hit search and the search bar pops out. Swipe up from the arrow and the app draw slides up as expected. The only thing I haven't tried is the new daily wallpaper option.
I got the R1 just for fun, not because I needed a phone but I have to say I am impressed with it.
Ok so here's the setup so far, converted prime to Oem using Colton's guides, bootloader unlocked, TWRP and root. Manual removal of remaining Amazon bloat and Google bloat I don't use. Mediatek File Manager gone, replaced with Solid Explorer ($1.99US) and supports systemless root. Flashed the Leaked Nexus Launcher and love it!! Removed Launcher 3(stock launcher). But have half a dozen nandroids before each new choice i decide to try,so not to worried if I need launcher3 back. One thing I have noticed after debloating and replacing launcher my memory use hovers around 800-950MB, prior to that it was avg 980-1100MB. It definitely feels pretty nice to me. I have never messed with xposed or anything but who knows maybe I'll read up on it this week. Anyhow a huge thanks to All the devs who been helping out with this phone!!

Thoughts? Not a lot of icons but nova up swipe gestures make stuff work, e.g. up swipe on keep opens collateral, up swipe on sleep launches darker. Icon pack is min with nova prime of course
This is my home screen, Nova launcher, all the icons have swipe up folders in them, widget is zooper, still getting the hang of it.. I've also added a few xposed modules (like the battery circle home button).

Is that Zooper widget from a pack or inbuilt? Personally I use kwgt because I read somewhere thst it uses much less battery. Also what other modules do you use, just curious

I haven't had it use a substantial amount of battery honestly. I'll look into kwgt, thanks!
When the phone screen is off a module called amplify kicks in and really extends the battery life by preventing certain wakelocks/alarms/services, I'm a huge fan.
I've been trying to get a popup window module to work but so far they've all been kinda buggy and gross. I had it on my note 4 (touchwiz) and it came in handy every now and then. I use gravitybox for.. everything... and I use maxlock so I feel better about using the horrible security of 'smart lock' in marshmallow. Only lock the appropriate apps. This is easy to get around if you know what to look for, but it keeps average joe from picking up my phone and using super user xD.

I've found default settings to be a little light. Which is a good thing, I'd rather not miss important things. I've been turning on amplify for some unknown settings relating to some apps i consider 'dumb'. Apps that over-do sync, location poll etc. For example Facebook and Snapchat are about 45% of my service/ram use daily. So after you allow amplify to limit them (by feeding them false information) the battery use is minimal once I let the phone doze. in my pocket it barely uses 1-2% per hour. During heavy use (especially gps time etc) the phone gets quite hot and battery life is appropriately bad.
Amplify has a free mode and if you pay (2$?) minimum it unlocks his paid features, allowing the app to also limit wakelocks and alarms (if I'm not mistaken..)
Stumbled on this thread and it caused me to waste half my afternoon dicking around customizing! Just got my blu R1 yesterday and it's replacing my old HTC One M8 and after unlocking bootloader, disabling Amazon ads etc, I am super-happy and don't miss the m8 at all!

That fancy Launcher TSF shell which we all got a preview of earlier in December has finally come out:
http://tinyurl.com/7owwsfo
Any body take the plunge and drop 17 bucks on it yet?
I am considering doing it cause it looks amazing and I'm sure it'd run awesome on our GSIIs.
Belongs in the apps section.
Also I rather not spend $17 for something that might just kill my battery.

it does not work. I wasted my money on it and it force closes. Running stock.
Same RESULT on my tmo gsm tab
UPDATE
WELL ... JUST WANTED TO SAY AFTER 2 UPDATES IT NOW WORKS ON BOTH GSM TAB AND SGS2 BOTH TMO
VERY RESPONSIVE, FAST BUT LACKS SOME OF THE BELLS AND WHISTLES FROM THE VIDEO
Giving it a try. Pretty damn smooth; there are a few features that aren't up and working yet, but it's very impressive. The lack of instructions is causing a few headaches, however.
It can only get better with time. While it doesn't quite have the HD look that SPB Shell has, it seems smoother, and just more useful. SPB looks good, but it's like it never got past demo stage. High hopes for TSF.
EDIT: If you are trying to make it do the "snake" thing from a folder and are having problems, someone on another thread figured out that you have to have more than 7 apps in it to make it work. It's seriously cool once you figure that out. Makes for a nice favorite contacts app.

How much memory does it use?
sent from my SHOstocked sgs2 via tapatalk.....
This is pretty amazing!!! I'm going to wait a little bit longer then buy it! I have to say, if it isn't to much of a batter drain, then I could see this being a pretty nice launcher.
I actually set my "SetCPU" to 800 max, and everything ran SMOOTHLY!! no problems at all! I don't think this uses much more then 200 Mhz, because after fussing around for almost 15 minutes on it, I have CPU Spy saying 200 Mhz was being used for 9 minutes. So . . .
(It might be using the GPU tho, in which case I don't know how to check that.)
Looks interesting. Anyone run into any type of ROM specific issues yet?

Looking at 5.48MB.
Still liking it; it's got lots of potential. I'm really digging the snake function of the folders. Load the folder up with apps, when you want one, just drag it out and tap it. I'm getting a list of tweaks it needs for the developer, like the snake needs to collapse after you use an app in it, stuff like that. Let's see how things go. I still find myself trying to swipe to move to the next screen, but you can't enable that and keep the core function of grabbing and manipulating multiple apps on a screen. I'm going to use this for a few weeks and see if I have the urge to return to a standard launcher.

No ROM specific issues just yet. The video that shows off the launcher seems to be on a phone with MIUI, I think that they would be well suited for each other.
The favorite contacts folder I made works pretty cool; drag the contacts out, tap on one, and it gives you the quick info popup for it. The demo in the video looks different because it's MIUI.
The snake thing only works if you have at least seven items in your folder, and the folder won't hold more than twelve items, so some people might end up with multiple contact folders, like friends, family, work.

I look forward to your review. I'm tempted to pull the trigger, but I've paid for way too many apps that I thought would be cool and useful that I used once and never again.
I got it, but I'm not pleased with it. It's kind of a pain to get to your apps.
Watched the video, read the reviews - even when it's done, it seems like they missed out on an essential factor - it's supposed to be a launcher. And it looks like they layered too much candy on that basic function for it to be usable as a daily driver.

Not sure why you think it's not a launcher. Instead of launching the app drawer like stock/LP/ADW/ect, the app drawer is the first homepage. The MIUI launcher doesn't have a standard app drawer either. And as far as launching the phone/contacts/messaging/ect, they are located on the left side pop-up bar. Granted, it feels different when you start using it, but I'm driving with it just fine. There are some bugs in it that would keep me from keeping it if they don't get addressed, but they seem to be doing updates pretty often and I'm hopeful it will continue to improve.

I didn't say it isn't a launcher, I said that it doesn't seem to function well as a launcher. If it's working for you, I'm glad - and I'll continue to watch and see if they live up to the promises made in the demo. It may well be as you say that I'd just have to get used to it - which I've done before, and will again, when I think the learning is worth it. Although I do like a clean home screen (yes, I know I could do it that way, but that defeats their design).
I've been playing with it and I think it's cool. There is a learning curve and it's not perfect but there are some nice features in it. I stopped using it though as soon as I discovered one feature it lacked that was a must have for me. scrollable widgets. They dont seem to work

Ok, good chance to ask - which scrollable widgets are a must have? I like to keep my home screens clean, and watch battery drain (too) obsessively, so the only widgets I use are Simi Clock (covers clock, weather, and launching apps), 3G Watchdog, and music (PlayerPro and Subsonic). What am I missing?

Well I did say for me they are a must have I use Android Pro widgets, I use about 3 of them(at least scrolling ones) all on their own home screens. I have one that loads twitter and FB updates, another that loads my agenda and one for my text messages. Then a full screen music widget(poweramp) on another screen and a full screen weather widget(fancy widget). I'm not too obsessive over my battery because I ALWAYS either have a spare charger or an extra oem battery (or both) with me

Thanks - I can see the use if I were a more connected person, but I'm not that big on Twitter or Facebook, full screen weather seems excessive (I look out the window , and tapping the weather icon on Simi Clock takes me to Weatherbug), don't text much (and get notifications for that), and my calendar is a tap away... I'm really never that far from a charger, but I like not having to plug in from the time I get up till I dock when I go to bed. If I were out more, I might need it, but I tend to do the home-work-home thing most of the time.
I picked this up. I like it, but some functionality is missing. I'm not talking about things they show in the video that you would have to figure out on your own, I'm talking about buttons that are available to use, but if you try to use it, it says the feature isn't enabled yet. That's kind of annoying. No need to have the button there if you don't have the functionality in.
Battery in my opinion definitely is affected. With my current build below, I was getting about 1% loss per hour. With this launcher it's approaching close to 3% per hour. I don't know why as it's not like my wakelocks are increasing.

Therefore, BEFORE REPORTING BUGS, check to see if the icon is replaced in the app drawer. Also check to see if you're using a shortcut and not the actual icon.
IF THE ICON IS NOT REPLACED, apply the default theme and then reapply 300PPI just to make sure your eyes aren't fooling you.
IF THE ICON IS REALLY NOT REPLACED, then report the bug.

I was immensely bugged by the low quality icons of a lot of apps, so I decided to fix them myself.
This would ideally work best with a Nova or Apex theme, but since I have absolutely no knowledge of coding, this will start off as an icon set that you have to manually apply. If anyone wants to volunteer to pack this up into a theme so that it can be applied quickly and more thoroughly, shoot me a PM.

Added two variations of App Drawer (Shadow and No Shadow) (this will count as 1 in the total icon count)

App Drawer Icon with Shadow will look somewhat low quality. I'm not sure why, but you'll have to live with it until I figure out why.

You need a third-party launcher that can replace icons such as Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher (I use Apex, but they're about the same imo).
The problem with an icon set by itself is that it only affects the quality of the icons on your homescreen, not those in the drawer app. In order to apply it to the apps in the drawer as well, you'd need to apply a theme containing these icons. Problem is, I don't know how to make a theme and I've miserably failed many times.
Ok, thanks.
The home screen is fine with me.

I was just reading an article the other day on some of the features in 4.4, that sounded pretty cool. Do you know if this launcher has adjustable grid for home screen/app drawer?
Thanks for sharing!!

If you don't add the missing library to this install, your searches will fail...
Just a hint.
The fix listed only works temporarily until you reboot.

There is a samsung voice app on your phone that you can turn on that will listen even if the screen is off. You just say "Hi Galaxy" and then you can do basically the same thing by asking it questions.

Maybe so for now. Maybe that affects other apps in the future? Maybe not.
Why not just grab the missing lib file and fix it correctly instead of working around the issue?
Here, grab it and add it to the OP.

Your cam link have the missing 3 lib files? If not, a lot of the functionality will FC.
The search FC issue, 2 work arounds provided. Replace the lib file or change language.

Tried it shortly but didn't like it too much. I wish it offered dock customizations and ability to hide apps in the app drawer.
Does anybody know why I get this message every app. 10 clicks on Home Button?
I have already clicked on "ALWAYS" Button many times to open Home via new Google Launcher, but it did not work.
I am using Alcatel Idol Mini - Android 4.2.2.
The missing lib file is what I needed to make this thing work right on my s3. Thanks for the help
Love the infinite screens. Loved left swupe was google now. Dislike 4x4 icons and crappy dock. In fact disliked so many parts of this crude attempt of a launcher that I just uninstalled. Apex, nova, next are just so much more polished. Google shame on you. I really expected far better than this.

Hi folks;
I stumbled upon this launcher last week. Used it all weekend and really like it. Extremely light and fast and unbelievably customizable.
Released by ChYK, the author of sslauncher. It's still in beta, so there are some bugs. I think you will like it.

The best thing is to just play with it. To make a dock bar, add the "app group", edit it to 1 row and 7 columns. Add the apps you want, adjust icon size, move it wherever you want, and then pin it to all your pages.

Please let me tell why it is not possible.
The vertically scrolling view like app group or app drawer is reuse the child view (for item) while scrolling to increase the scrolling performance (smoothness). That is, the child view scrolled off will be reused for appearing item because it is exactly same for all items. Now let's think the situation that a different widget are in there. The widget is absolutely different view from the others so it must be recreated whenever it appears as scrolling. This will cause lags.

Lightning Launcher Extrem has an Option for sliding Folders with horizontal or vertikal scrolling and it works great. It´s also for Apps, Shortcuts and Widgets.

And the other big problem, notifications don´t work. Gmail, Outlook, Telegram and so on. Only the Messenger works.

Maybe, it is not a list view, which reuses child views, but a vertical scroll view, which creates all child views in memory.

You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the LG G6 performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the LG G6 keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I've run over 30 apps at once and it swaps between them instantly without lag. No issues whatsoever doing what I want how I want on this phone.
I'm not sure if anyone is getting this same error, but it keeps saying that I don't have enough memory to play videos. Never seen this error on any other LG phone that I have owned in the past. http://imgur.com/waldOvw
my RAM went down to only 1gb free... how is this possible

Click to expand...

More ram used is better on Android. Most 4GB phones run with around 1 to 1.5GB free. Android caches your app data to improve loading times. Having more free ram actually hurts you. Androids memory management isn't like Windows for example.
This phone is an absolute dream for multitasking lol.
Is this phone overly aggressive on memory management? I keep seeing times when either overnight or even just not using the phone for like an hour, I suddenly only have 3 apps in my recent apps list and not the 6 or 8 I had been using. Which is just baffling to me as I never saw this on my old Galaxy S6. With 4GB of ram, this phone should not be needing to dump apps out on its own like this so much.
That's odd. Everything I have running stays running with no issues other than the stuff I have set to auto-close, via Greenify.
I thought with Android 7 the need for Greenify disappeared?
The multitasking is great but there's one glaring design flaw. When you have an app open and you open the notification drawer you get this round button at the bottom to change app scaling. This is great until you want to type a reply in the notification drawer.
The scaling button stands on top of your keyboard making it impossible to type anything without constantly having to move the button out of the way. The button is locked to the bottom so you can only move it left and right. Thankfully it only appears on certain apps like games.

just go into the 'secret menu'... *#546368#*870# (for the H870 model) open SMC menu and go to the bottom and select force long display, and change it to true, then the app scaling reminder/option will (should) stop. While there disable LDB (LG's 24/7 tracking software) frees up a lot of memory and helps battery to.

Also never forever about developer options and animation scale. I always run mine at .5 sadly zero never works for me but I use nova launcher and its "faster than light" seething. Forget animation make it faster..also hopefully everyone knows about double tapping the recent apps button and you can quickly swap between the last app you were in and the one you're currently in. Much faster than selecting it from the list

Ya i have been doing the same . force gpu 2d rendering actually causes more battery drain.
I have disabled LDB/MLT services under secret menu that helped a bit.
0.5x doesn't cause black or white screen transition. I was saying about animation off scenario
When i lock the screen apps using internet (like chrome, amazon...) are killed immediatly from ram and I have to launch them again. Is there any option to change or something I can do?
