Simply as the title suggests, why does it seem every rom of vanilla 2.0 & 2.1 now fail to have such smooth transitioning between home screens as versions 1.5 & 1.6 did?
This question spans across other android devices too. For instance, when I first saw the motorola droid I was a little shocked to see it switch home screens with so much more lag compared to my old G1 running 1.6. Honestly, I'd figure something as simple as that would be somewhat of a selling point to some simple minded consumers and it really confuses me as to why Google kind of dropped it--at least in terms of combating Apple products it seems like Google kind of gave up.
I have just been assuming it was for battery conservation reasons, if so, is there a way to disable this or somehow simply make it smoother in 2.0 & 2.1 like before?
Thanks for any reply. Sorry for any complete unbearable ignorance I'm nothing more than a noob at some of these things still.
The background in android 2.x is now handled by a different applet, before it was part of the Launcher it self (it still is, just a different part of the Launcher rather than both being under the same window manager).
It sucks, specially on the G1. I've never seen a 2.x rom (other than my own) where the flicking from screen to screen is smooth, so maybe retrofitting the old launcher to 2.x would be idea for those not sold into the live wallpapers thing (or maybe we could make our own version of live wallpapers with animated gifs or even some fancy java)

Okay, thanks. Well if one wanted to push the 1.6 launcher into 2.0 or 2.1 what libs or framework would need to be copied?
Well I just answered my own question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645550&page=80
Except with this one you loose the eclair zoom in effect when you go into an app--I'm guessing that's part of the eclair launcher. I wonder if there's a way to implement that effect into this doughnut launcher.
Hi all. Continuing my year of good luck, my house was mostly destroyed during flood following Hurricane Irene at the end of August. The good news is that I have always wanted to own waterfront property, but the bad news is that I have been a vagabond for the last month with 2 little kids and a very pregnant wife, so I have been WAY to crazy to think about smartphones, hence the lack of updates, communication, progress on the ROM.
Now, there is a silver lining - I am a music producer, and my main recording and post-production facility was completely destroyed by the same flood, so I will have a lot of time on my hands to make ROMs over the next few months while I rebuild my business. I am also settled into a temporary place with internet, so should be good to go. I have two Inc 1 ROMs 85-90% done: "Pure" Magnolia which is completely based on the most recent OTA GB update and incorporates some useful features without going to far out, and "Dirty" Magnolia, which is my port of the Inc 2 ROM I am also working on over in that forum. THis ROM has sense 2.1 plus a smattering of 3.0 features and, so far, is quite nice IMHO. I cannot tell for sure when I will be able to release these, but I will start new threads for each, so be on the lookout.
Finally, I want to say thanks for all of the support and understanding I have received throughout my rocky 2011, and it is my sincere hope that I can be the progressive, dependable developer that I hope I was before I got glaucoma back in April.
Anyway, the ROMs will be out when they're ready, and I look forward to sharing the with you.
I attach some photos of my home and studio for your viewing pleasure, and, yes, that's yours truly looking at the debris....

Changelog
B]Final 1.3.2[/B]
Battery fix from last version is now built into the ROM by default;
All Extras other than App Extras and Status Bar Icon hide/show zips have been stripped from the ROM itself and will be in post #3 as downloads;
[*}Added JSChiSurf's PowerWidgetControl app that allows a great deal of customization of the power control widgets (e.g., what the sound/vibrate button does, brightness increments, etc.);
Updated AppFolders to latest (1.5) version and themed it;
Both AppFolders and NoAppFolders Versions of Rosie mods have a 5-column app drawer by default now (4 colums will be available in post #3 shortly);
Updated Flashplayer to 10.2, with hulu patch that (usually) flashes when you flash the ROM (If it doesn't work, flash "Hulu_Patch.apk" in the Magnolia FOlder under App_Extras");
Updated Gmail, Maps, RomManager, Busybox Installer, Voice Search, Google Search and more.
Have refined what init.d scripts the ROM runs and the task killer tweak built into the kernel to achieve the best balance (IMHO) between performance and battery life;
Fixed some graphical issues in Rosie and Rosie remaps that were bothering me;
A LOT more that I can't remember right now...
B]Final 1.3.1[/B]
Fixed issue where flashing ROM deletes apps that are installed to SD card (e.g., Aldiko, Angry Birds);
Updated Flashplayer to most recent version (10.1.106.16);
Removed Hulu from data/app/ and made it an optional install in the Magnolia/App_Extras/ folder. Flashing Hulu.zip will give you working hulu with the most recent flash, plus it works with Adfree Android and survives reboots (at least it did for me and several others). The only drawback is that flash will not show up as an installed app in Market (whether or not you install Hulu);
Fixed FC issue with Adobe Reader;
Updated Gmail, Maps, RomManager, etc.
Cleaned up my updater-script and found some duplicates and other issues, so install should be smoother and performance better overall.
Got frustrated and tired, but I think it was worth it...
Final 1.3
Added Lockscreen Mod;
Replaced busybox version from last release and fixed/improved its interactions with the init.d scripts to make the ROM smoother and faster;
Aded hosts file that blocks ads and still allows hulu to work (I hope...);
Fixed some graphical issues in Rosie that were bugging me;
SLOWED DOWN (yeah, that's right) some animations to make the ROM feel smoother;
Updated Maps, Gmail and other apps;
Minor graphical and performance tweaks;
A lot more that is incredibly boring, but really makes the ROM work better
Final 1.2
Updated all amend scripts to edify standard so the ROM and add-ons flash with new clockwork recovery 3.x versions (and to stop being a fossil!);
Put in place functionality that will allow future versions to know which apps have been uninstalled and not to reinstall them;
Added init.d script functionality and several scripts that will clean up permissions on first boot, zipalign on every reboot, speed up SDCard read and generally make things run smoother and faster;
Fixed naf_rom_default_icons" rosie mod;
Fixed issue where camera wouldn't save videos as mp4s;
Fixed issue where android clock used when Vanilla Lockscreen option is implemented shows gibberish instead of date and mapped music key in same to HTC music, not the stock Android one;
Added option for 5-columns in both AppFolders and stock app drawer;
Added Conservative Color Notification Icons option;
Compressed some additional elements of the framework to make things faster (tell me what you think);
more animation tweaks (still stock, though );
Updated all apps (fingers crossed);
Minor graphical tweaks (including some new wallpapers);
More I am sure I forgot...
Final 1.1.1
Reverted back to latest stock HTC kernel;
Added Gscript Lite and seveal scipts to remove sense or uninstall unwanted system apps;
Final 1.1
24 custom Rosie right button mappings in the default icon flavor, with color and gingerbread flavors coming soon;
Fixed issue with kernel that caused sluggish behavior at times;
Got rid of ad blocking, as it was just too disruptive to browsing and any other avtivity that used the web (if you need ad blocking, just download "AdFree Android" from the market, it's free!);
Added Hulu and patched flash;
Added DSP Sound Manager;
Removed VZW BackUpServices from /data/app/, as it did not function well there, and put a flashable zip for this program in the "Magnolia" folder so users can flash to /system/app/ if they want to;
Included Gingerbread Icon Rosie in Magnolia folder;
Minor graphical and performance tweaks;
More I am sure I forgot...
Final 1.0
Fixed Gingerbread Keyboard & symbol
Fixed Voice Search
Added more options in "Magnolia" folder, including Vanilla Lockscreen option;
Made appdrawer (both AppFolders and Stock) semi-transparent;
Fixed MMS sometimes FCs;
Fixed camera shutter sound;
many graphical fixes/improvements;
Updated all apps (including Flash);
Updated to Ziggy's latest BFS build;
A lot more I can't remember;
RC3
Reengineered (see above) most APKs for smaller RAM footprint;
Added uncapped data mod;
Added ad-blocking host file;
Fixed Flickr sharing issue;
Added custom rosie launcher icons;
Switched to show clock & alarm as default;
Switched back to Ziggy's kernel, as I really really like them...
Updated various apps;
Probably lots more I forgot...
RC2
Customized FriendStream, Twitter and News Widgets to fit better with overall look of ROM;
Added Gingerbread keyboard;
Fixed problem with notification bar widgets where indicator lights didn't match state of toggle;
Fixed mismatched app drawer arrow animation when using standard app drawer;
Messed with the animations a bit more for smoother performance;
Updated NoAppFolders.zip in Magnolia folder to remap app drawer key and uninstall AppFolders;
Updated status bar icon show/hide .zips in magnolia folder to include the power widget fix noted above;
Moved some apps (VVM, Talk) back to /system/app/, as they weren't showing up properly for some users;
Updated all apps
Probably lots more, but it's late and my brain is fried...
Add-ons and Extras
First, I would like to note that user Devildog8791 has made some incredible themes and mods for this ROM, including colored menus, colored notification icons, dialer and full themes. They can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981760
Now for my stuff...
Using Gscript to Remove Apps or Desensitize
When you flash Magnolia and application called GScript Lite will be installed to your device while a folder called "gscript" will be pushed to your sdcard. This will allow you to uninstall apps that are cooked into /system/ (i.e., ordinarily not installable) and to remove sense altogether for use with ADW or another alternative launcher. To use, open GScript Lite, hit menu-->Add Script-->Load File, and choose your script. Please be careful, as this can really make you mad when you run the wrong script . The Desensitize script will remove all HTC widgets, but not HTC apps, and install ADW Launcher.
Built-In Extras
When you flash Magnolia, a file called "Magnolia" is pushed to your sdcard. Within this folder are two subfolders: App_Extras and Statusbar_Extras. The App_Extras folders contains the following optional apps: EVO camera (same as regular camera, but with shutter button on-screen), WirelessRouter (Verizon's wireless tether app), wireless_tether (the free version of wireless tether), VZW Backup Assistant, and a patch for users who are experiencing problems with Hulu. All of these may be flashed as normal (backup first) except wireless_tether.apk, which you need to open using Astro or similar program.
Vanilla Lockscreens with Gestures
The following zip files will remove the standard HTC lockscreen that comes with the ROM and install JsChiSurf's Vanilla Lockscreens with Gestures Mod. Flashing this mod will give you the Vanilla 2-tab android lockscreen plus an application called "LockScreenSettings" with which you can create a 4-tab lockscreen with phone and messaging tabs, a rotary lockscreen and add gestures which allow you to open apps/activities while your phone is locked via gestures on the locked screen. Please see here for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919121
Screenshots:
Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/App_Extras/Lockscreens.zip
Circle Batteries
Flashing these will give you a circle battery instead of the stock battery. There are two versions, a blue and a green:
Download Blue: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/Statusbar_Extras/Circle_Battery_Blue.zip
Download Green: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/Statusbar_Extras/Circle_Battery_Green.zip
Colored Notification/Statusbar Icons
This will change your default white statusbar and notifications icons into colored icons. THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DEVILDOG'S MAGNOLIA THEMES/MODS, but is a stand-alone mod.
Install: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/Statusbar_Extras/Color_Notifications_Only.zip
Uninstall: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/Statusbar_Extras/Remove_Color_Notifications_Only.zip
Stock Rosie Icons and Order
Flashing this will give you stock Rosie icons and ordering (apps, phone, browser):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/Rosie_Extras/reg_stock_rosie_icons.zip
Custom Rosie Right Button Remaps
As the title says, these will allow you to "map" the right button of you homescreen to an app other than browser (the ROM default). These also will allow users to (1) choose to use either Icons that go with the default ROM look and feel or color icons that add a bit more color to the ROM, (2) use the stock app drawer that comes with Sense, rather than the AppFolders program that comes with the ROM and (3) use a 4-column app drawer (AppFolders or Stock) rather than the ROM-default 5columns.
Here are screen shots of devices with the right button mapped to camera using the ROM default icons (L) and with the right button mapped to HTC Mail using the colored icons (M) and the stock app drawer open (R):
To use, choose and download one of the following large zip files, unzip the contents, then choose your preferred remap.zip in either AppFolders or No AppFolders flavors. Copy to your sdcard and flash as usual (backup first!!).

Been waiting patiently all day for this post to drop, Lovin SK rom cant wait to flash Magnolia.
Thanks for this Rom SK806 it definitely does look more refined/professional.
Looking forward to new right mapping buttons too!
Keep up the good work!

I loaded it about a half hour ago, and so far so good. I really like the look of the drop down widgets.
This is the fastest ROM I've used to date and it also fixed my constant 3G connection drop, which is awesome! Thank you very much for making such an awesome ROM.
Here is my feedback:
1) Google Talk is missing (had to find APK's to reinstall)
2) HTC built-in Visual Voicemail is missing (maybe provide an APK installer for people that use it?)
3) App Folders launcher is somewhat annoying and very slow. If possible for you to do, I would recommend removing App Folders and just utilize the stock All Apps option while keeping your transparency and modified Browser shortcut for the launcher.
4) A working Gingerbread keyboard is now available (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875202) so that would be cool if you can include that as the default keyboard.
That's all I've noticed so far. I'll update as I use it more.
I agree on all counts. I use ADW, so the app folder thing isnt that big of a deal though.

Thanks for the input! I was thinking of making a non-appsfolders version. I guess I will now
I thought I had put VVM & Talk into /data/apps, but I guess not. Will fix that ASAP.

great rom, is there any chance you can theme the htc widgets though to match the rom. Doesn't have to be fully transparent, maybe semi would loook good.

Do you mean the list/item backgrounds? The buttons/headers/footers are already skinned...
Please let me know, and, if that's what you mean, I can take a stab at it!

Hey Steve,
I think the non-appsfolders version would be awesome. When I press MENU button and select All Apps, it is instant. With the Apps Folders app, it always says Loading for 1-2 seconds. I know, I know it's kind of ridiculous to whine about those seconds but another issue is that the Apps Folders app actually hides a few of my applications which is very weird. I don't know if anyone else has experienced that.
In regards to the VVM and Talk, I looked at the data/app folder and they are there but I'm not sure why they are not installed. Or maybe the Apps Folders app is the culprit?
If you need me to test your RC-Beta ROMS, let me know and I will happily do so because I love this ROM; so fast! And the fact my 3G signal is displaying accurately, that just makes me
Thanks Steve and anything I can you help with, let me know. I've never wanted to be this involved with any other ROM than this one or I wouldn't make such an effort...

To answer your second question, yes...I didn't post a changelog because it was a new thread, but I probably should have. I will get one together sometime in the next day or so. I am in korea visiting family and it's the holidays, so I am a bit preoccupied. Plan for an update and changelog soon, though!
Hi everyone! Im the developer of Moogly, a simple but useful todo list widget that started as a project for Honeycomb. The pr is after the break.
There have been reports that it doesnt work properly on some devices! If someone could be so kind as to try the Lite version and if it doesnt stretch properly, send me some screenshots and log files!
You can also post issues at the main thread:

Works very well, excellent app!
Only issues I had was it didn't appear under widgets until I rebooted the device.
Only request would be to allow a smaller resize say only 2 or 3 lines
Strange about not appearing till reboot - what rom are you on?
Also, do you mean a 1xN widget?
I love it! Using the clear background and it looks great.
Be sure to leave a review on the market to encourage others

Yes 1xN would be great!
I'm just running standard 3.2 (not rooted, and no custom kernel)
Ive looked into the widget not appearing in the picker after install - its a problem with the picker itself. Its broken on the tiamat roms (which are pretty unstable despite all the huffing and puffing).
Re widget sizes. Im updating in a few hours with 1x1 (on HC things can only be stretched, not shrunk) and 2x4.

Thanks!
(I'm not using tiamat, never have. I've had the same issue with another Widget, can't recall now what)
Are you saying you are on a stock rom and still having issues with the widget picker? Or that youre only having issues with our app?

I'm on stock ROM and the widget only appeared after a reboot of the device. Other than that it works great. Thought you'd want to know.
No idea if it not showing is an Honeycomb issue or something in your app.
(Left you 5 stars on marketplace)
Seems to te a honeycomb issue. Im looking into it!
And any issues with it not appearing in the widget picker until reboot?
None at all, it rocks!
Good to know, thanks! Dont forget suggestions!
Will you include the themes i sent?
I havent had a chance. Next release will have them and gsync as well.
Working perfectly for me! Thanks, this is absolutely top class.
Are hidden tasks working ok?
Any issues to report?
UPDATE: Because of my full time schedule, support of this is stopped. There are currently other devs involved in Tablet UI and i am glad that they have time and do it better then me. Its time to stop for now. Thank to all of you that downloaded the ROM and if you liked it, i am glad. I am happy that i was the first one that shoved you the possibilities of TW roms with Tablet features, and i am also happy that there are people that see the Note1 as a device that deserves such UI and keep TW functionality - now we, that loved before Paranoid minitablet have now also the option of TW tablet.
Download links removed.
Follow XPERIACLE in his threads and probably he will reelase also a ROM based on Tablet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This used to be a TouchWiz ROM with ported features from Samsung Tablets - they claim their tablets as real multitaskers, so we have here rom ported in Tablet style that perform almost the same multitasking features.
Tablets apps are more often better than phone apps, but some of the tablets can not make calls. Note is unique device, which can make calls and other smart things – it is still a Phone (a BIG one) but with all tablet apps, only than it can be a Phablet!!!
Now all ported apps from NOTE 10,1 - N8000 are from official JB
What you will get in this ROM:
XXLS7 Jelly Bean leak – thanks to Rupiah, Eybee1970, Philz, Bangsti and others
Full TW tablet interface what some of you might know if you own Samsung tablet.
MultiWindow feature with 5 options of Multiwindowed layout
MiniApps – as of v0,1/0,2 - they are not in present in v0,3 - but easily you can go back to miniapps when yoi like.
S planner ported from NOTE 10,1 official JB - offers some more functionality!!! Has its own miniapp
WebBrowser ported from NOTE 10,1
Contacts and better dialer from NOTE 10,1
Some more tablet apps....
Gallery with AirView from N10,1
Properly scaled Splanner here - thanks raj_ch2002 for helping out!!! - press him a thanks button, for good job and interest!
Little ROM preview here - thanks to hamdogg (hopefully he can manage one more preview with multiwindowing from the miniapp tray - and the main thing what i miss in the review - WINDOWS!!!)
CHANGE LOG: (more info in post2)
V 0,1 – initial release (preview purpose)
V 0,2 - full rom base on leak XXLS2. Expect the same performance.
V 0,3 - XXLS7 base, preview of windowed style of apps.
Flash metod – same way as any other JB leak. Kernel is Philz so no need to worry. Thanks to him!
Wipe Cache, Dalvik and data. (i usually also format SYSTEM on the top of wipe)
Please do not post in this thread which kernel is safe and what should you wipe. Please post bugs only if you FULL WIPED!!!
When the rom boots up, please open SuperSu app and let it update Su binary!!!
Caution!!!
Please head over to post3. I am not responsible if you brick you phone, you know that you do everything on your own risk.
So we learned what are miniapps in v0,1/v0,2 - in v0,3 they are not to used anymore, but they are still present!!! Miniapps is separate app with its own layout and "reduced" functionality in opposite to the main app!!!
For the future, samm will use probably some kind of "downscalling" for all of their apps in order to use the Main app in Ministyle! So we use stock app, just scaled down to "miniapp" dimensions. You can then revert to fullscreen or go back to mini! Some of you will like it, some of you might preffer old miniapps.
V0,3 uses in the miniapp tray option to choose 5 options, how the app will be handled in screen.
3rd party apps does not have official support for this thing - probably not yet It is easy to implement this function for the app developpers so i believe in the future they will include it in their apps. You might look here what is doing the trick!
1. Widnowed - option to resize, fulscreen and go back to mini.
2. Half to Half - you can also resize size of the apps when you use stock FlashBar feature. (you can not resize when the FlashBar is deleted)
3 + 4 are 2/1 layout - uselles i thing
5 - 4square layout - also too small for our screen
This feature comes from the Tab2-7 systemUi where samsung planned also for the leaked N10,1 JB this layout - but what i saw, they dropped this and left only windowed and half/half layout on official JB for N10,1.
So most usefull option might be Windowed style and half by half - which you can use the same way as on stock.
For the every app we can set the default size (displayed when you open it) and minimum size (smallest size you can downscale) So it is matter of choice how who like it so i ve done for the start and preview (have limited time for this) only:
Calculator, Gallery - modded default size as minumum - so it will open all the time at its minimum size stated!
Messaging - opens at stated default size and you can swype then to lover size!
Sory for more i had no time...
All other ported apps from N10,1 appear a bit bigger and can not be downscaled - yet. But some stock XXLS7 stock apps have this ability and are styled a bit smaller. So matter of time to style the default/minimum size of the app.
Here it is done: Dimension.xml
<dimen name="app_defaultsize_w">332.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="app_defaultsize_h">460.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="app_minimumsize_w">332.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="app_minimumsize_h">460.0dip</dimen>
These dimension are used for Calculator and Gallery - you see the both are same default+minimum - that means default size ist the smallest one and you can resize. When you state default a bit bigger - app open bigger and you can downscale.
V0,3 changelog:
Apps from Official JB Note 10,1
Splanner - AirView fixed, NEW functionality - hover the dot of the stylus on the number of the day - Small Smemo note will pop up.
Calculator
Contacts and dialer Layout
Gallery - with AirView
Browser
Messaging
Myfiles
Snote - works as well but breaks some other functions so i kept the stock N1 Snote - i rechecked it and they both offers the same functionality.
Launcher ADW - this one is really great on JB.
All other apps kept - but remember, there are really uselles widgets and bloat that keep running, so clean up the rom as you like.
Email - kept the stock one for now cause works now with Contacts, and does not have the Copy/paste bug.
Fixes of XXLS7 - i did not followed threads, so this is the first base from Bangsti with no fixes at all.
This ROM come stock at 213dpi. You can not go 214 and more - you probably will loose some functionalities.
Base is Bangstis XXLS7 - stable base and better when you completely debload and keep only things you really need.
Found bugs v0,3:
Toggle for multiwindow missing.
MassStorage doesnt work.
Gallery - ported from N10,1 - works AirView, but take a write the photo with Spen FCs - (works only when you tweak B.prop to be as N8000 device.
Launcher is also from N10,1 - full tablet, but ADW is there - this is the best now to date, so keep that one.
In v0,3 is still the stock FlashBar and + the miniapptray...
Way how u use Multiwindow in v0,3.
You choose the way you are going to multiwindow in the miniapptray - open the tray, click the small 4squares icon and 5 options will roll out - choose side/side icon and you can all the time use the stock flashbar as u used on stock - swype an app to the part of the screen.
When you choose windowed style, stock multiwindow dont work then and all the apps will open in windows.

Tried the airview fix on RR v1. It worked but Gallery was not starting anymore claiming it did not have enough space as well as could not save new Note anymore. My free sys space is 33 mb. Deleted the file from the etc/permission/ folder everything got back to normal. Any suggestion?

after that wait for some time. and then open Gallery.

Same here. Other than that, this looks too sweet. I cant imagine this on a newer JB build. Should be buttery smooth, especially considering the larger tabs come with the same cpu.
Disabling on screen buttons will loose miniapps feature.
Uploading too slow....sh...

There should be a line related with that in build.prop file.
It should be set as 0. If you make it 1 then they will disappear.
But i cannot remember the line, sorry

Hello i've been working on a ui design since 2014 and i finally have a launcher thats been begun recently you can see attached pictures of the launcher apk in it's current state and pictures of the final design unfortunatly i lack the funding to get it as complete as i want but an apk is being worked on, this is a different thing that may not appeal to everyone it may be too much for some, it's a complete overhaul of everything from lockscreen etc and it moves away from android quite abit, it begun as a linux distro design but then moved on to an android rom and then to a launcher, SymetiumOS itself is still there but thats when i find help to make it.
features of my ui
1. Custom modes such as pc mode,tv mode,tablet mode and the ability to create new modes, everytime a new mode is made a new settings screen is created, each settings screen has the same options so you can enable the pc appdrawer under mobile mode for example this applies for potrait and landscape under each mode meaning you can move pc mode to mobile mode landscape and have it trigger pc mode in landscape
2.size options for each menu that includes pc appdrawer or desktop appdrawer,notificationpanel and statusbar,recent apps menu, the notificationpanel comes in various sizes if it's set to tablet size then you can pull it down or click it down anywhere similar to an android tablet, this applies to all sizes including the micro size which replicates the feel of a 4k screen.
3.background layer options to appeal to more peoples tastes this includes glass,solid color (material),tranlucency,transparent solid color this layer can be enabled for the desktop appdrawer,notification panel (3 sets of layers for the notificationpanel,category appdrawer,category dock,appdock
4.automatic and manual sorting for the appdrawer if automatic is chosen then the icons of the dock will change using the playstore sorting method, if manual is chosen then the user can customize these categories, removing,renaming,adding new ones, each category consists of an appfield and a widget field above allowing the user to create custom categories such as a news category with news apps and a newswidget
5.the dock can be swiped into from the homescreen but this can also be disabled meaning you have to swipe to reveal the dock and then press an icon, the dock can be at the top or bottom or left or right side of the screen the size of the icons can be adjusted so can the distance between the icons and distance between the edge of the screen
heres an animation for the ui here is an animation showing the ui https://www.facebook.com/symetium/videos/1182698115129367/
Here is the final design of the ui including background layer options,lockscreen,desktop appdrawer and more.

portait and landscape settings menu for each mode each orientation would have it's own settings menu meaning it applies a different menu depending on orientation

blur for colored layers
automatic app sorting (just like any other launcher that sorts apps automatically)
standard homescreen support widgets,app shortcuts etc (just like any other launcher)
pinch menu (just like any other launcher)
full appdrawer (simply use any full appdrawer)
general settings menu section (a standard general settings section where the reset button is etc)
paginated scrolling for dockmenu
size settings for all menus (no automatic sizes based on dpi)(launcher should not change ANY size based on dpi)

Last time , you said launcher is not ready for playstore .
and what i meant from making it open source was that you drop your apk in xda and ask for developers help and in meantime you will get enough beta testers for your launcher too.
Playstore should work too , its just people go there before they make their app stable and complete
Just giving free #advice
