Neat scroll bar at the bottom with access to everything and more space on the screen. Check out the website.
Update: Download now available from the site.

So I installed it........now what?
use it as your home replacement its in beta stage so things can only get better
umm i like it. im still not willing to use any home besides the default just because i like the speed, but this one is very nice. seems a little better in some ways than GDE thats for sure. but GDE isnt free... this is! best part cant wait to see how this develops
this is easily the most responsive and intuitive home replacement app i've used. sweeter home preview 1 was a previous favourite, but the lack of widget support has seen it lag behind and as GDE costs money, i've never used it, even though it looks good.
the bar at the bottom is extremely useful and well thought out, as is the integrated task manager. the fact it can display widgets is great and the option to hide the notification bar is another brilliant idea. i would love to see klaxon support alongside alarm clock support, but that's just me being ridiculous.
all in all, i am looking forward to seeing this home replacement app taking off in a big way.
Looks awesome but could someone post the apk its not warez cause its free I just want to pull the clock out of it I'm on blur which is 1.5 this is complied for 1.6 and 2.0 so it does not show up in my market or if your worried about a mod just PM me with a link please and thanks
I like it, it'll be interesting to see how it develops from here and how the animated widgets turn out.
EDIT: I don't know if the dev's ever visit here but I think it would be nice if the items on the power strip were configurable. As an example I never use the google search or favorites icon, so if they could be disabled that would be awesome. Also the ability that the advanced launcher has to hide apps from the app drawer is awesome, if that could be incorporated as well?
I'm still on 1.5 so this isn't available in my market, but I switched for fun to 1.6 last night and caught this application, I like it. Someone finally hid the notification bar which I think is a nice change.
And apparently you can have semi animated widgets with this HR which is pretty cool
It's really very nice. We only need real replacement for root users.
There shoud be possibility to customize bottom icons - I don't use voice search and I'd replace the icon with something else.
searched for it in the market and realised im on android 1.5. gonna have to switch to 1.6. its worth reflashing just for getting rtid of the notification bar
I like it. I don't know if it will be my replacement home screen, but I might try it for a while.
Well i will try and get the apk or link to it for everyone but the app is in beta so we can make suggestions and make it into the must have home app becuase all the others are just missing that something but this looks promising.
this home screen replacement is the fastest, most responsive and has the best functionality out of all home screens, its almost as fast as stock home screen.
I cant wait to see what they will add or improve over the next weeks since its still beta. Its so fast I cannot think of anything that they could do to improve speed.
I just love the little scroll bar on the bottom, I love the way you can close all apps with function button on bottom.
Hi, it looks promising, i like it.
Very promising !
First of all, let me thank you a lot for this innovative home replacement app.
Thanks !
I really like the features of the bottom bar. Scroll it to see even more elements is great and I was really surprised to see that I could click on the battery, the sound indicator, the network icon, etc. Long press on some icons to access to the related settings menu is another good idea.
To hide the notifiation bar makes my home to seem bigger, really nice
Workspace in a loop is comfortable too.
I noticed two bugs (edit) :
- Sometimes (like 50% of the time), when the phone goes of its "standby" mode (menu to unlock...), the hidden notification bar left a black and empty area on top of the screen. All the home content is displaced down (of the height of the notification bar). If you press the physical home button, everything goes in the right place again. I couldn't find a regular cause to this...
- When you press the notification icon in the bar, the panel appears but there's an empty (and transparent) space on top of the screen. It's not that bad but it's graphically stange and it doesn't occur with other panels (tasks, applications,...).
.:EDIT:.
Ok, I don't know how but I managed to add the Pure Calendar widget. It didn't worked the first times... and now it's ok.
If I'm allowed, I'd like to make some suggestions :
- settings to manage the scrolling bar content (applications, statuts,...)
- BetterCut support (please)
- Add a % indicator for the battery status in the bar
- support for the font packs
I'm trying it right now and I like it, however, I have gotten 4 FC/Wait messages so far when closing out of an application (ie. GMail). Other than that, very nice home replacement. This is the first time I've ever used a home replacement too.

I didn't get a chance to play with it last night much, but I have had the same problem this morning. I added the power, audio, music and pandora widgets and it really slowed it down. I have those same widgets running Cy 4.2.5 with no issues.
I really hope they get this right, it looks really nice.
Download app from website
App can now be downloaded from the site if you cant access market. See first post. Ive got it working fine with pure calender ill upload picture when i get home from work.
App in action
Here you go my homescreen and pure calendar running great.
Its ok.
For BETA I guess thats good.
Needs to be faster and more customizability.
Placing the power strip at top or bottom would be nice , ability to change whats in the power strip.
Do love that you can keep scrolling and get back to main screen.

Has anyone downloaded the free preview for this app? It looks awesome and has a user edit built in.
Finally a different home setup that really changes the interaction.
Yep - MASSIVE editing abilities. Great start and should hopefully get better. The app scrolling is faster than the standard Android home in my experience, no lag at all! Few force closes while editting here and there but mostly remembers what you edited when it relaunches. Calendar seems broken for me, only shows a handful of what appointments I actually have coming up. Still in Beta though so with improvements could be exceptional.
Tried it out last night, not really my cup of tea. I like Open Home much better. Also, it force closed on me countless times, untill it just got too annoying and I uninstalled.
OK this thing has some pretty great potential. I'm going to build some screens and upload screen shots later. EG, no need for folders, you can create a realtime scrolling tray and drag apps into it.
Good stuff so far. Shows a lot of potential. I think you should be able to span background wallpapers like in normal home, and not just the same image stretched for every pane. I think there also needs to be more controls over the layout options. Good start. I wish the other home alternatives had this kind of customization.
Maybe I'm just lazy or maybe it's that I've gotten used to using dxTop, but the layout of it is horrendous! I mean, I even think all the screens of aHome is better than that. Up, home, right, home, left, home, etc. I found it annoying within the first 5 minutes.
its not about UI right now
this has more potential than all the other home screen changing applications which mostly all they do is change icons...and added extra screens, this goes beyond it and makes your G1 efficient and business savy, recent calls, texts, etc all in front of the screen.. like yes it has UI problems, but the potential of ACTUAL customization is beyond these other applications, and they charge..
with their lite versions etc.
it has made the home page a personal thing, and isn't that what we all love, personalization.

For introductions, that's all it's about. I'm not talking about themes or anything else, but the layout is crap. The idea may be good and maybe if those tabs stayed on each screen so you don't have to constantly go back to the center to get anywhere it would be more efficient. But, as it stands if I'm not impressed by how it looks, I'm not even going to waste my time in testing it out...same as how I won't give a website a chance if it's appearance is lacking. First impressions are everything.
so im guessing, judge a book by its cover.
i agree with the UI being hideous.
but compared to ahome, dxtop and open home, all they're done is the same thing, a couple widgets, extra pages (that just move differently from each other) and changing icons. that's it..
yehs, sweeter home is not good to look at, its the ugly duckling right now, but with all its features and the developer open for suggestions and implementing things, it's far better than the other home applications.
i gave it a chance and tested the product out before making any ASSUMPTIONS and i like the features but not the UI, but everything is a work in progress and the developer actually went beyond just chaning major icons, adding an extra page and widgets like what OTHER HOME applications have already done.
I make no assumptions, merely observations. I don't like the UI and attraction is the first step to any partnership. I never said I wasn't willing to give it a shot later, you assumed that. I said as it is now, it sucks.
From my experience with dxTop, the UI works with the theme I have on my phone. There are no extra downloads or specifics that I have to implement. I'm not saying it's the best, but that's a lot better than any of the others are doing.
Tried it, a little too much for me.
I like it simple. Open Home for me.
Here's screen 1, 2 and 3 I've set up so far. Few bugs I've found (app TRAY has started duplicating the actual apps in it for every new tray added, not sure why)... anyway, looks pretty good and once more stability and features are released this will be my default home I think...
Left is SMS's with quick links to contact apps below.
Middle is (top) most used apps, (middle) all apps, (bottom) communication apps, (here's where I want more app trays but won't really work atm, I want a utils tray, games try, notes tray, and comms tray with all apps on a different screen).
Right is contact list.
--- Photobucket died right when I updated the images, stand by --
I think I figured out the tray duplication thing, just gotta test it. RENAME the trays! LOL.
EDIT: updated screen above. Got extra trays working - all scroll horizontally. Added labels to app trays and added labels to SMS and contacts list.
Next: "all" apps tray on the lower screen, and skin the calendar (even though it's broken) on the top screen...
I tried getting this app last night and a few times today but I keep getting "download unsecessful".

Can't find it man, I think I got it from http://g1wallz.com/ - or maybe in the wallpapers topic on here? I'll upload it later when I get time.
See, I cant find it in my market. Im assuming that Im having so much trouble with my market because I have an ADP Phone? I cannot purchase, Ahome or Open home (the paid versions dont show up)
i can't find it on market either- i did yesterday but it gave me download unsuccessful. since then i can't find it- maybe it has been taken off for fixing or something?
I tried backing it up with Astro but couldn't do it.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.sweeterhome.preview1 - Doesn't do it for you? There's a new version, I'm about to update.
EDIT: You can now long press in a tray to bring up shortcuts. Nice. Works with Anycut too, not BetterCut though
My working shortcut options:

Well I present to you my second theme but kinda like my big first that I have been working on for a while now. I started once the 2.0 Icons became available cause I like the look and it made the phone seem more professional so I based a theme off that idea something that would be professional looking and still retain a style to itself
Aluce
: Disclaimer :
I would suggest doing a backup as this is still very premature and I want to keep a big focus on the style aspect so I am forever working on one app at a time. I know I should say all that I am not responsible stuff but I am sure that the people downloading these themes and testing know the risk so now with heads clear

Did not think to make the drawer glassy good idea thanks going to fiddle with it now.

looking slick, nice work!

I am new to the cyanogen area, as I have been using Hero roms for the last 4 months or so. I really like the way you have put this together. Simple, yet attractive. I like the idea of advanced launcher, and a clear drawer button. I could go without the lockscreen. Thanks, keep up the good work

Thanks, I have been working on this for a long time and I am really pleased as to the turnout. I know that it may not look like much but I am slowly getting it ready for when the BIG 2.0 updates drop. So for now I sit here and still work on it
Could you add a picture of the drawer (where all the apps are)?
INsted of just the black but a pic as the background?
Dialer Alert...Something I am working on
Hey all for those that have been following me and my theme I though that I wouls share a small tweek that I have been messing around with for a while.
Dialer normal
Dialer pressed
Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas.
Hello all.
I come to present
my latest homescreen for Android: KustHome
KustHome is actually very inspired from the famous hs + + (formerly BatteryStatus) on Windows Mobile.
Basically you describe your desktop in an xml file that you put in
a folder with lots of PNG and you have the desktop of your dreams.
Catch below the bottom part (robot + hours+signal level, etc ...) is actually assembled from the XML.
(Images are declined in 3 colors to make 3 skins)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can place on the desktop:
- Images
- Gauges: images that change depending on :
- Battery
- The radio signal
- 3G
- The traffic data
- Wifi, bluetooth, etc. ...
- Text (which may change depending on time, to your own clock)
- A notification bar
I intend to add:
- Indicators of gmail, sms notification (for the nostalgic, because the widgets do that very well)
- Skinnable buttons to trigger actions chosen by the skinners
- A real clock to make the same as Sense (if a crazy skinner can make 60 images for the minutes)
In terms of functionality funs:
- coverflow desktop chooser
- coverflow running app chooser (without root)
Themes can be sent to me to be placed on the kusthome server.
For the beta everything is free. The software check on a server
if you have the right to change the theme, and download new.
Once finished the beta software will have a duration of 3 free days. Then only the default theme will be available.
(Practical for testing)
Then users must:
- Buy a paid version
or
- Have completed a theme
or
- Ask me to activate all options (a skinner who email a link with his work on other platforms will always have a free version)
PS : available only from Android 1.6 (and in beta so dont make it your default home screen to avoid brick your phone)
Hi,
I just downloaded this and think that its quite good. It has a lot of potential but there are a few a things that are wrong with it.
1- To get the the desktop thing (displaying all home screens) you have to go to menu, it would be much easier to be able to press one button (e.g. the select button)
2- People like to choose the number of home screens they have (I suggest 1-7)
3- I like the idea of having the notifications at the bottom, but this then makes it confusing with bringing down the bar at the top cause its not there and doesnt slide down properly
4- I cannot get used to the idea of not having a dock which is a major turn off for me
5- The Icons at the top... I'm not sure if they are meant to be switchers but if not then it would be a good idea to make them so, and maybe add some more things.
As I said it has alot of pottential but its not quite there yet, good work though =)
Thanx
Aaron
hi,
1 & 2 are planned.
you must click on the notification to open the bar (but yes they are too small)
a dock is planned
icons on top are not switchers because skinners can made small pictures and put them very closely. But skinnable switchers are planned.
You can use the search button to display the task switcher, but you are right : I will made an option to activate the desktop chooser if user wants.
love the way the screens are when the switcher is activated. maybe make it where the screen switcher is activated by a double tap or something simple like that. i will definitely keep an eye on this!!

double tap on home screen is allowed by android 2. It will try to keep it running on android 1.6.

yes 3 bugs:
- one if data are working when home launch (when i test I am on wifi and data download is too quick, on 3G I have the problem)
- one when moving some shortcuts (concurrent acces to database)
- one if home launch too slowly (not reproducted on my nexus under froyo...too quick) and events are throwed when screen not ready
an update will be published in few hours...
Tried with 1.6 rom and I didn't find kasthome in market, I also looked to the official website and I'm a little confused.
Can you clear this for me please:
For which version of android is and
Which resolutions supported?
I would like to test it and try to make a theme.
I could also make translation of the program if you're interested.

Sorry : kusthome was unpublished 1 july due to an enormous bug with the previous update. The widgets are inserted each time you run kusthome, so after 10 reboots you have ten widgets on the same place. I have unpublished it and
fix the bug. Kusthome is now on the market.
supported resolutions are;
- hvga
- wvga
but kusthome disappear from the market for 1.6... and I dont understand why.
was this continued??????

I would love that to be true.
I think I've tested it. Shows some promise, but doesn't seem to read the dBM signal meter on a CDMA phone, and the existing themes are a bit limited.
awsome
I like kust home alot, would love to make my own themes for it as im great at Photoshop , but not to good at ADB (wish i could change that) as of now im swutching between kust and adw ex i like the abilaity to hide status bar and the cool app draw anamations in ADW but i like how in kust it looks nice and clean

also this one too... ya never know...
nice~~looks really minimal and i like the blue =D
almost thought you had forgotten about lacuna from your other thread ..
so let me repost some feedback from the other thread and add feedback based on v2.0
clock:
next alarm info beneath clock maybe?
apps:
option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
also qould be quite cool, if we go with the sliding theme, if the apps page (faves and all programs) could be brought up by sliding the main screen up
friends:
favorites would be very good
text:
i selected sms chat as the sms program, but when i click on a text message it still brings up the usual messaging app from samsung
when i get a new text message, i click on 'new texts' but it doesnt open anything, when i go swipe to the text page, my new text does not appear there either
mail:
im guessing this hasn't been implemented yet, but can't wait until it does ...
other:
the sliding can it combined with the ability to click on the sub-menus to see that page? i.e. so you do not need to swipe twice to get from 'friends' to 'mail'
just on this, when i was the friends page, and i click on the 'text' it takes me to the 'mail' page, but then the theme doesnt respond anymore??
alternate home screen: YES PLS
the impementation of clicking the text or mail word... doesnt work... as you found out... that is going to be disabled... the screens already scroll super easy... not hard to go from one end to the other...
im working on making the apps page so you can drag it up... not there yet...
i havent configured the sms program chooser yet....
mail page works... im not sure to what extent... i didnt code it... lol...
i am glad u like the alt. home screen... i think its pretty smexy too
as always... thanks for your great feedback wil_dee

Ok Thanx! Great
Very nice simple and elegant, but have following questions:
Mail page does not show anything, i looked through all xml and found nowhere any mail settings.
Wouls also love the option to select to show only favorites contacts or to add some favorite peoples.
Same for favorite programs, maybe an additional page to add a few programs and settings shortcuts.
For me the best solution would be if i could replace the contact page by a shortcuts page, where i would place 5 shortcuts to subfolders for weather, internet, fav people, applications and settings (i already have them).
This theme is without HW acceleration? Or need acc. too
Good luck
no acceleration required
Hi,
can you help me with some questions:
If installing this .cab, does it
- Add a new Element to select from the Home screen setting
- Does it interffere with Sense / CHT
- Can it be uninstalled without damaging the installation?
Thanks
Gescha
I am assuming that you are referring to throttle launcher itself
it is not linked to or related to Sense or CHT it is a UI in its won right so you would have to choose and deslect whichever you wanted at any given time.
It can be install/uninstalled without effecting anything else
Well .. what can I say? This is the best theme so far. I'll stay tuned for updates. Thanks.
Really nice. Love the minimalistic look.
Awesome. Love it.
Super Easy
Trek, youve done it again! This is crazy smooth! It is very minimilistic, something I think an option to increase would be great.
what I mean is that instead of opening Apps, and the start menu, maybe a second 'fav apps' screen that opens another screen for just your favorite apps. This is where you program your icons, etc.
Yea, would love the mail to work, but love how responsive text app is.
Another option, I use text alot! Maybe be able to choose which is first slid to (text, mail, friends)
The ability to show weather would really be great, like shown on the first post. Not sure if there is something that I missed.
I do have the same issue with tapping 'text', it goes to 'mail', and then program freeze. Doesn't require a reset, just a reload theme, and its all back.
Lock screen is really touchy. I checked and saw that I had accelleration at 10, with friction at 1. Reversed accell to 1, friction to 3, that helped alot. just a hint to folks out there.
And finally, maybe a calender screen or setting as well?
Love it, super smooth, super simple, great job as always!

most of these things have either been addressed or been implemented ... i like the configurable text, friends, mail order idea... but unfortunately the system im using for making it so easlily scrollable .... this may not be possiblee... no wait.. yeah i can do that..!!! sorry!!!
the picture on th front post with the weather you are refering to is not yet.... but how it will look when i am done..
so you didnt miss anything
i am removing the lockscreen... will prolly make skins or themes for the windows default lockscreen and one for the oboe style...
calendar implementation is planned but still unsure how to incorporate...
tapping text goes to mail bug will be removed... was an attempt that did not work with the concept..
otherwise... glad you enjoy it... my main purpose is to keep it simple and smooth for all devices...
and be Daily driver Worthy... my only currently daily driver worthy one is my own modded version of the BBSTORM theme...
i thought about releasing since it is modded and junk... not technically original design... so i think i might but there is a few things i have to address first.... ill email ya if ya want to try it lol....
thanks for your feedback Jerry

Just finished publishing zMooth gesture app in android market, it will allow you to use gestures to mimic back, home, menu and power (Pro version) hardware keys.
I wrote this app to be unobtrusive by using minimum amount of screen space but at the same time be very easy and intuitive to use. If you use for couple of days you will understand how easy it is to use.
after you install the app you will see a blue area at the bottom of the screen, swipe left on this area to go back, swipe right for menu and gesture a up-arrow(^) for home.
I highly suggest that you try using different gesture length and speed, it is very sensitive at default settings.
I picked the gestures which will have least conflict/collision so that when you gesture you don't have to worry that it might fire the wrong action. The aim was to make them error resistant and build user confidence in gesturing.
you don't have to do complete swipe or draw arrow symbol correctly, just a small quick gesture will work.
The swipes don't have to be perfectly horizontal, you can do them at an angle.
Small swipe/gesture will also work, they don't have to do be as long as they were shown in screenshots.
I didn't pick any complicated gestures because back, home and menu should be achievable with out giving a second thought, after couple of days the fingers should move with least effort and finger flexion and MUST be easier than pressing buttons.

Need help or something is not working?
Support is built-in to the app, "Preferences->Help" will resolve most issues. If not resolved just contact me through "Preferences->Help->Contact Support" and I will be happy to resolve any issues. You can also use browser for FAQ / Common Issues for more info.

Sorry for the quality, I never posted videos of phone screen's before, didn't know how difficult it is to capture these screen's on video.
Omg! I was dreaming about app like this
This is my second HD2, and I'm a little paranoic about using screen-off and back key
Big thx.
Hmmm, I can't set Display Height below 20. If I set less than 20, turn off the app, this always back to 20 value.
Secondly, would be great to able to set position of the bar (not only the bottom).
klusek1985: I personally never turn off the app so never noticed it. I set min as 20 so people don't accidentally make it too small. is 20 being too obtrusive? what lcd_density are you using?.
going to sleep will be back tomorrow sometime.
I use HD2, so it is WVGA. Density is 240 (NexusOne rom)
Imo 20 value is too large for me. Maybe you can unlock full spectrum of values able to set ?
I understand an option like change color of bar etc. will be avaible on future versions ?
Again, good work
Great job man!!! I always think pressing the back button is a very extra movement... and you just save the world!!! ha ha.... thanks man for your effort! Appreciate it. I think this app is cool...
First impression is really good, I would like to see some features as:
- Ability to move the zone to anywhere on the display
- change the colour of the zone / change colour of gesture draw
- make the zone / gesture draw transparent (top priority reqeust from me )
- set the size of the "popup" box / disable bigger box?
- disable draw area if application X is running (like widgetlocker - dont need this nice app when the screen is locked) (high priority for me again )
- maybe later, add custom draws? draw a square and launch application X
If these feature will come in the future... well what should I say, that would be awesome
Really nice!
Edit: Cant find it on market yet
Edit2: Bug found:
When chaning the height I have to reenable the app otherwise I get an error "error executing gesture, please restart app"
Sometimes also happens when device gets into standby and wakes up.. (need to confirm)
Was planning some of the features you mentioned already. Thanks for feedback. App is in market now, updated the OP.
I installed from Market, and I can set 10 (size) now
Thanks for this work, it's usefull, but i've a problem with the height, i want 10, in setting it says 10, but when i do the first gesture on my home, it come back with 50 of height, and in setting, it show me 10 ???
P.S: in green, my home would be happy

I will try fixing the height issue today. (hopefully I will get some free time at work).
It's like a dream come true! Thank you! Please keep updating this!
This is really handy!
But I would like to have home on gesture up, instead of having to draw an arrow.
Left:back
right:menu
up:home
Heck, if there's time. Why not let us create ur own gestures for app-launching ect?
And transparancy would be nice, but I see that's already been suggested.
Even if you decide not to do this, I think I'll keep this app on my phone.

you don't have to really draw the complete arrow (or left/right swipe), just do quick gesture up and down. up arrow is like home symbol(like roof of your house).
try to decrease length/time of gesture and see how sensitive and easy it is. I put long lines in screen shots just to show for beginners.
version 1.0.4 pushed to market, hopefully fixes height issues that you guys are having.
Thanks for the update, now, i can have height on 10 ...
Sorry, but in green, it's possible ?
Great application, fast and smooth. Only I can't lock on sense rom...
Very nice app. Just one suggestion. Isn't it more intuitive to swipe up to access menu? Usually the menu will slide up from bottom of screen so I think it's more natural to swipe up?
Awesome App, i was tired of pressing the home button on my hd2.
On an hd2 running typhoons 3.0.1
^ goes to home screen
Left does nothing
Right brings up the menu
Zmooth 1.04
ya since menu slides up gesture should be slide up, you can actually slide up inclined as shown in below screenshot to pull up the menu.
I picked the gestures which will have least conflict/collision so that when you gesture you don't have to worry that it might fire the wrong action. The aim was to make them error resistant and dependable.
