Do you.guys think this.will stick through final release?
It doesn't feel very polished yet. The whole swipe form left or right to go back is not great.
I think he was referring to having old style soft keys instead of the new navigation.

I have had not problems with Go launcher until wednesday when my copilot icon disappeared then the next day 2 other icons disappeared which is weird. Luckily I had done a Go Launcher backup so it was easy to fix but I might email the dev for the app and let him know.
left feedback on their home page and downloading/installing the 2.31 beta to see if this works

Im having the same problem too on KE7..
Its not a big deal but its kinda annoying when suddenly some icons went missing.
i've found 2 temp solutions for it..
1) if in portrait, switch to landscape once or twice, it should return to normal.
2)if point 1) didnt work..backup the Go launcher config under preferences,n restore the config when when icons missing again..
N other this little bug, the launcher EX is a fantastic app!
I get the same. Shortcuts disappear. I just restart the phone and the icons come back

That's what I do... I just hope they fix the issue soon, it's a great launcher.
Wow, I had the same happen to me today, while at the super markeg my wife took the phone to take a photo, of our daughter and the 5 buttons at the bottom gone and 5 pluses were there instead. They came back earlier when the app updated though.

I had a little bit of flakey behavior with this one too, not just here but on the N1. To be truthful as time has gone by all the big players (LP, ADW, GO) have become more and more similar in their features and functions and to me it has come to a few simple things, with ADW I get a little hitchiness in the launcher, not big but its there, with GO I get a little bit of assorted things as described, with LP I get no issues and it works smoothly. With touchwiz I get no issues and it works smoothly.
I had been using LP but thought I would beat around the stock launcher and see what could be made of it and truthfully I like some of the things touchwiz as a launcher alone does. It used to be that when I switched back and forth between launchers I felt like I was doing something new and different, rather than the same old thing which had grown boring. Its one of the reasons I switched in the first place, to spice things up. Nowdays though the big three feel much the same, I know I have switched because of the little differences but it feels like using the same launcher. With TW I feel like I'm doing something a little different, its nothing major but its there. I like that. I like the home screen slider that allows me to slide from one far screen to the other or any screen instantly with one hand. No need to pinch and pull up the overview or swipe across. The only real fault I have with it is that you cannot define rows and columns and other basic setup items that would greatly improve my ability to set it up the way I want. I had been hoping that someone might step in and offer a utility that allowed that. So far changing default home and sorting the app drawer alphebetically is covered if you're rooted.
At any rate IMO unless you are a launcher fanboy start checking out the rest of them and see how your performance with your setup is, if its good and you have no issues you're done because the difference between them as far as function,form, and features has become very little. Also consider giving TW a go, it really isnt too bad once you remove all the wiz and use it strictly as a launcher.

I think you may have just swiped the 5 buttons at the bottom of the screen mate. There is a setting in Go Launcher to have around 3 bars at the bottom of the screen. If you make it so its only 1 then you can't swipe it and get those +'s.
lol Good point Matrix, the buttons are swipable so you can add more shortcuts there. I can see how someone could accidently swipe over and think he had something screwed up when the shortcuts were "gone" and only the pluses where you would move new shortcuts were showing.
Same issue here. Icons sometimes disappear when restarting the phone. Restarting again brings them back though

Okay what is different in ics vs gb for the sense roms? What new features?
Thanks

First I need to say that I am running Cleanrom, but I think a lot of it is what you'll see in stock.
The original, 3-button dock is no longer there. You have a center app drawer button and 4 custom slots. So a 5 button dock. You can actually group apps in a folder and place them onto the dock. Whatever is placed on the dock is your shortcuts for the lock screen. Change them, and they'll change to whatever you have on lockscreen.
I'm not sure if this is new, but the default Sense Clock widget has a shortened down version now. It takes up half the vertical space that the regular one does.
This could be the rom I'm running, but the status bar has some new icons and the fonts look like the roboto font. The drop down menu does have some ICS elements to it as well. It is now black (could be my rom?) and has the new icons in it. You can swipe the notifications closed or click them and load them (that part isn't new). The Quick settings tab has little switches in it instead of check boxes.
When you hold down the home key to go to recent apps, instead of the popup of 8 recent apps, you have the basic ICS recent apps now. It loads up a window with the list of apps and a preview window of the app in the background. You can scroll up and down and swipe to kill the apps.
I can't really see anything else at the moment that is new/different, but I'll let you know if I see something. Hope that helps.
If that is all thats new for ics... It seems stock Rezound with golauncher would be pretty close minus the Bugs...
I might be way off with this guess though, so correct me if I'm wrong guys

I was running stock Rezound with Go Launcher up until last night when I flashed Senseless ICS. Go Launcher may let you mimic some of the ICS functionality, but at the cost of eating additional RAM. Sure, it's not much, but most of us here like a lean device. All the 'little' things ICS does stock (swiping apps to end them, better Google apps, better dialer, better contacts) really add up. It's well worth flashing over to a stock ICS ROM, especially given just how stable they're becoming. The improvement in battery life made it worth it for me; my Rezound no longer chews through 10%+ battery on 4G inside of 10 minutes.
Have the ability to display the on screen buttons like on the GNexus?
Just came from a SGS3, was very happy with my PA CM rom.
On the Note II, the CM roms Ive tried with this ability are just too full of annoying bugs, and it feels laggy often. TW seemed very smooth and didnt encounter any problems, besides the lack of options. I absolutely loathe using the physical home button on the Note2 and SGS3 though.

Absolutely you can do it on any TW ROM. All you have to do is add one line into your build.prop and reboot. Search for "on screen nav bar mod". Edit: here is a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808882
However, I really suggest checking out LMT launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18993800. I always liked the on screen nav buttons, because I had instant access to the home/back/recents from any screen, even if I had my S Pen out, and loved it even more on AOKP because I could add custom shortcuts for my "dock" apps and Kill App options. LMT implements all of this but allows you to access it off-screen, so it doesn't take up any screen real estate. And it's a damn sexy interface, people are always impressed when they see me pop it up!

Awesome, thanks!
Will check it out when I get home from work.
Hi all
I hope you're all having a good day!
I've had my Mate 20 Pro for a few days now and have been swapping between stock and Nova due to indecision, and after a lot of hard research into Fluid N.G for gestures to work and then SystemUI Tuner for annoying irrelevant status icons I'm left at a cross roads...
Nova now feels clunky from what was a more fluid EMUI gesture control. I love Nova and its customization but the gesture 'fix' for it to work is very distracting - my question is, are there any plans for Huawei or Nova to look into this?
If not, would a stock experience be more worthwhile over constantly being reminded of those 3rd party gestures?
By all means they work well 70% of the time, but it feels a lot slower & more clunky - would a different launcher be available that works better perhaps? or an alternate gesture app?
Look forward to your opinions and help,
Thanks,
I'm using Nova + Fluid and would not go back to the EMUI launcher. Its just too basic and get that stupid search. Fluid works well most of the time (love the animation), but sometimes the gestures defaults to the built-in one and you get that jerky going home animation that flashes the multitasking screen. Doesn't bother me too much though.
Even if Huawei fixes navigation with Nova, I love the swipe and hold gesture in Fluid to go to the previous app.
Hello everyone,
after having upgraded my Note10+ to Android 10 under OneUI 2.0, with its new gestures implementation, a remark came to me.
Have you installed on your smartphone the DROPBOX app? If yes, open it, enter into a subfolder and then go back to the previous main folder using the in-built back gesture (which works simply by swiping right from any point of the screen).
Have you noticed? How smooth the gesture itself and the transition (and simple I would say) are?
Then, I looked back at the new back gesture implementation coming with Android 10, and I ended up thinking that back-gesture on the Dropbox app is way smoother, nicer, and easier to get and to reach (which is a key point from a perspective of an OS which maximises the User Experience).
Hence my question is, would be a nice move from Google to implement a gesture like the one in the Dropbox app in the next version of Android, namely Android R (maybe)?
Thanks to all
Michele
