I`m looking for pop-up launcher to store my favorite apps, which can be activated just by pressing on launcher icon on today screen. I saw something like that, i att. picture.
That looks like it's a today screen plugin made to look like a popup window combined with some kind of Windows XP style alternate shell. You might want to look into HTC Home or SPB Pocket Plus as they are both good launchers, though Pocket Plus costs around $30, while HTC Home is free. Or TouchFlo 2D has a launcher page which is pretty, and finger friendly too.
I got HTC Home on my Kaiser but I want launcher with pop-up menu, not for all apps, just like picture, I can`t figured out what launcher is that. I`m gonna try SPB, thnx.
Any idea, anyone? Pop up window from the today screen, with shortcuts of fav. apps? With more space than WK Task?
Didn't see anything about this on here, so I thought I would let everyone know that flyscreen hit the market today. If you don't know what it is, the app is a locksreen replacement which boasts a number of useful widgets. It's free, so check it out.
well done app!
tweaks i'd personally like to see
1. accuweather edit to enable "current location" along with search city or zip
2. changeable wallpaper?
3. custom color for the bottom status bar.
4. it seems pressing menu OR home unlocks the app. maybe just keep it as only MENU unlocks?
5. would LOVE a fully-functional local music widget. even a streaming one. preferably last.fm
6. it's hard to double-tap to unlock the screen when on the calendar widget.
that's all for now. again great job!
Can't find it on the market. Can anyone upload a .apk for me please?
just downloaded and installed.....love it!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
are you serious? just search the market for flyscreen
Anyone have any luck getting the Facebook widget? It says to go to www.myflyscreen.com when I try to add it, but there's not really any mention of it on the website.
EDIT: Nevermind, it turns out you have to login.
this seems legit!
I've tried it but I'm not a fan of flyscreen,
the feed summary stories are so short its not worth reading them and
it is hard to unlock.
I much prefer "buzz deck", kind of similar concept with the flicking between cards but it
works much better for the feeds.
but I guess if you use just the weather and messages widget then this is pretty good
i think it would be a lot better if the added a lock, something other then just pushing the menu button
I love it, but the stericson lock screen is still popping up occasionally... How do I completely remove stericson?
(Using CM 4.0.4)
its not on the market!!! I searched like 4 times and it cant find it.... wtf?

You can dl it from here
I like it ok...
But, I was under the impression I would be able to use widgets installed on my phone.
I can't - I have to use widgets that flyscreen has... And, their calendar widget is not interactive (can't open my calendar with it or see my appt's), there is no Gmail/Email widget, and I can't use my own weather widget instead of theirs.
Since I don't really want to use any widgets they have... It sorta makes the app pointless. If I wanted to use a widget they have I would have downloaded/installed it already!
I had this during the beta invite and liked it a lot then and the final revision is not dissapointing. I agree, custom backgrounds and missed call, sms etc. notifications are needed though.
bump
any ideas on removing stericson lock?
Installed it. One of the best app on the market easily. Running weather, facebook and 2 custom RSS feeds. Its kinda laggy and slow. And it also it takes sometime to kick in when you wake the phone up. It shows the home screen for a sec before flyscreen lockscreen appears. This is the major issue. Can be fixed with further optisations. Minor annoyances are the wallpaper. Missed call register and music widget wont hurt either. But still, great app!
This app makes any rom awesomeness. If they can get all the social networks on this app, who needs blur? Has a lot of potential.
Been using the beta for quite some time, uninstalled because of slow performance...
the release version is much more stable, really happy with it all I want is to be able to install and create skins and wallpapers
Really nice concept. Good first release. However, like others have said:
1. Needs configurable wallpaper (my gf called me gay...she would know)
2. Causes great lag returning to homescreen, whereas before flyscreen, return was instant.
I'm a little thrown off by having to give my phone# on registration but I guess that just creates a unique username. Very cool idea, I wish I could customize the background and the alignment looks a little off on the bottom (not quite centered)
Very cool. I'm looking forward to more updates from this app!
I downloaded a gmail app and found out that it had not name tag on the home screen and i kinda like the idea so now i am wondering if i can do this will all my home screen widgets and apps.
I am new so i cant post a screen shot or link. so i will post a partial link so u can see a screenie of the app i am referring to.

to view the link u need to remove the space between "http: //" and at the end " .img"
Thanks for any responses to help with the matter.
BTW i am using the sprint htc hero rooted 2.1.
Use ADW launcher or launcherpro, they both have the option to remove icon text
Select something along the lines of "Hide icon lables" under preferences
I think BetterCut in the market lets you as well, then you won't loose sense if you are attached to it.
Can anyone tell me how to add apps to the little bar on the bottom of Launcher Pro? Right now I have the default phone, chat, apps, browser, music but I've seen pictures of people who actually have real apps pinned down there. I tried click/holding on the icon and it give me the option to...
"Change Shortcut"
"Change Icon"
"Swipe Gesture Action"
When I click Change Shortcut, my screen goes black for a second and then comes right back to the main desktop and thats it. Am I missing something? I'd like to remove all the generic, ghosted, white icons and pin the real ones down there instead.
Thanks
This question gets asked a lot and I mean a LOT. Use the search function next time.
But to answere, the NookColor version of Android doesn't have a shortcut picker so doing this with any launcher will crash it. There is currently no fix but there is a work around.
If you have launcher pro on your phone you can set it up how you want it for the Nook and then make a backup. Copy the backup to the Nook and restore it there. You will need an SD card for this.
The work around to getting apps on the dock bar for Launcher Pro is too much work for me, haha. I tried Zeam and ADW.Launcher and discovered both will allow you to just drag/drop to the dock bar instead.
Ya I should have searched better, my bad. Just found the answer 10 times over after a bit more reading. I ended up just using ADW instead since this is my only android device so no backup to take from a phone.
What happens is that all but the application icon disappears in the icon dock on the home screen.
I have made some folders In the application screen to categorize the applications. Most of these applications are put back on the main applications screen, so I suddenly have 13 pages of applications instead of 2.
This happened for the 3rd time this month, so before I'm going to sort every application again, I want to know if somebody had the same issue.
Is there an application to manage this screen with more ease than dragging each icon one by one to another folder? I'm also using Go Launcher and there all the icons stay where they are.
Happened again today. I'm going to use GO Launcher.
But nobody had this same issue?
