I just got my beta invite to download and have been playing around with it for a while to set it up. I am not all that impressed right now, but hopeful they can bring it. Has anyone else got the beta yet? What do you think so far?
The pros:
Very pleasing to the eye
Smooth
Widgets at the forefront
Dock shortcuts change a you change screens
The cons:
App drawer is not alphabetical (actually only Play Store is first then alphabetical)
No Android widgets!
Only their wallpapers
Can't rearrange home screens
Gmail widget only shows unread emails
Weather widget is not interactive
Can't use inverse logic in context for locations, time, or wifi
No folders
That is my first impressions based on the current release. With the ICS update, I have actually really liked Touchwiz launcher (believe it or not). I'm not sure chameleon would be my launcher when competing with Touchwiz and Nova.

Was about to pull the trigger on this one, but been reading and some people seem discontent so I might as well wait...but then again it's 10$ as a pre-order. How much do they think they can charge and get away with?? I'm no cheapskate but 10 seems a bit much for a launcher...makes me wonder how much it'll be when released?
Incompatible
I have a Glaxy tab 10.1, and have get the download link to get Chameleon Launcher, but I get the error messenge "This app is incopatible with your Samsung GT-P7500"
What can I do so i can get it?

Honestly, at this point I would wait. With no wallpapers or widgets except for theirs, I would wait to see how it turns out. I'm not even using it right now.

its okay. i didnt like it much. The widgets are very limited. It should be native for every app. Seems slow but then again its a beta. hopefully, will see more improvements in full version.

You need to update your software. I'm guessing you're still on 3.1 because I was mistaken. It is compatible with Android 3.2 and up.

None of the current apps will work because they made a bold decision to develop on a HTML5 environment. It was though that they could get more developers to work on new Widgets if they did this. Only time will tell. They may have rushed the beta though, it really needs a few more apps for users to really test it out and find software bugs in the interface. As opposed to hardware incompatabilities.
They may have gone with the beta now because the interest was peaking and if they left it much longer the interest would start to fade.
I like the concept and it has a lot of potential, they may be pricing themselves out of the market. Their are other good launchers for significantly less. I am one of the beta users though.

if that comes true. that sux . The widgets they offered in the beta. I was only interested in only 1.
Too bad it doesn't have facebook in the beta
I love the concept though.

PLEASE DONT ASK ME TO POST .APK....IT WILL BE CONSIDERED WAREZ
so ive been waiting for a while to get my hands on this and i finally did. just wanted to share with everyone that it does work on our device. first installation is really buggy, but upon reboot, it seems to be much smoother. does slow down other home replacements while its running though.
the interface is nice, as to be expected. ive only been using it for about ten minutes. it lacks a lot of features that the popular launchers do. my biggest complaint is that there is no way to delete a screen as is, the screen will only dlete once youve manually removed all shortcuts/widgets from it. this proves really annoying because when you first load the app it loads alllllll your apps onto screens. so mine loaded 13+ screens full of icons the first time. BUT THERES NO LAUNCHER DRAWER!!! so i have to figure how to have quick access to all my apps without having 20 damn screens
ill update this OP as i experiment more, and more screenshots when i find cool things. possibly a video (shootme videos come out really laggy)

this is a beta. it causes some serious lag (for me at least) while running in the background. im gonna have to search the net for tips and tricks. i must be missing something because it just seems way to basic for a premiere home replacement
yeah, I signed up for the beta when it was 1st announced. Not really digging the look of it. Seems REALLY hmmm whats the word.... bunched up and bloated maybe? Would look good on a tablet, but not sure about a phone

sorry big guy, but no other homereplacement ive used has ever lagged. period. my phone is always butter.
if you are referring to the number of screens that it creates. well obviously its because of how many apps i have. but it shouldnt be that way. it should be like any other launcher, with an app drawer. this isnt the iphone.

i sure hope its not released until it is optimized more, and they add some features.
i was reallllly looking forward to trying it out, and once i got my chance, it was a 15 minute affair until i uninstalled it completely.
obviously you wont be satisfied until you try it out for yourself
I have the beta as well, had to sign a contract not to share the .apk, screens, or even details of the app. These guy's are serious about this shell, I'm in another beta of theirs that I didn't even sign up for, and there wasn't nearly as much effort to keep that one as confidential. Just don't want your buddy gettin in trouble. I have yet to submit a review with suggestions, but I plan on doing that soon. This launcher has a lot of potential, but like you said it's very lacking in a lot of areas. It's especially a pain if you have a lot of apps. Just keep in mind, it is an early beta. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd be happy to include them in my review.

Hello Vibrant Community,
I am thinking about making a ROM for ICS, but I want it to be a community effort, so here, I want everyone to reply with features they want in an ICS ROM. I will list all the features on a list, and will add to it as people give suggestions, then once I have completed the feature, I will put a beautiful check mark next to it.
Here is the list:

...wait you managed to fix the mute/unmute bug?
Maybe you should just tell neo and you could be on his team or something.
We don't need geniuses working alone.
Also i think this is a horrible question to ask a community.
Who in the right mind is going to say something that isnt already there? and even more confused, How are you just going to solve all these problems??
if your like some magical santa in disguise... I want my phone to start churning out 100 dollar bills through the audio hole.
I agree with xriderx66... Except one thing... if he's a magical Santa in disguise why 100$ bills? I'd prefer magical Santa to make my phone churn out magical Santa 1,000,000 dollar bills

I'd love for a non feature-creep ROM. One where people aren't going OMG ADD VODOO*(sound/cpu/blender/coffee maker/display) CUZ ITS BETTAR or OMG ADD THIS MOD.
Just. Stock. ICS. (of course with mods necessary to make it run right.)
Oh which I uninstalled voodoo sound, and my call problems went away in Passion v7... Just the lag started to get to me to much. I'm not diggin v8, to many quirks. Hoping v9 will be better.

Why would you want TW launcher?
because i like to change things up every now and again. mind you i don't want it in lieu of a better launcher i just want it in zip form so if the urge should arrize i can pop it on and play around. lol
I know Im asking for miracles here but for me to go back to ICS it has to have a proper 911 function. I have went back to Team Whiskey 1.3.1 because of this issue. I know I'm asking for a miracle there but you asked what we wanted
I would like to have more options like in Cyanogenmode

current launcher is just fine, the only "hick ups" were Build.prop related. and I already posted a revised and fixed build.prop for the Passion users.
I also stated i wanted the ICS TW launcher in Zip form not as part of A rom itself.
Yeah, I'd very much like a perfectly working 911 call and have E911 just working. The mic will not work when calling(receiving works) 911 so we'll have to wait for them to call us back.
And that's if we are lucky enough to have our phones not freeze on us when we call 911 as that is an issue as well.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Thanks, boystuff.
I'm not speaking for myself, but I'm speaking on behalf of majority of the users that those extra works should not be there for future release.
And here are other things that should be addressed for future release:
1. Web browsing experience. It looks as if the browser is collecting all of the web contents to store or sending somewhere before reloading the page. And when zoom in, the text is blur between 5 to 30 seconds. I have a feeling that it's fetching the page content data from the storage on the device instead of just re-mapping the data on the page.
2. There are non-stoppable apps or processes in the background. Go to setting, developer options, and check the Show CPU Usage.
There are more issues, but I'm going to stop because I really wanted to put this one out now. lolz
This is not a demanding, but hoping that the developer and his team will come up with a solution.
You shouldn't get me started. lolz

Do you have any themes available? I only see online, but when I click on online there is nothing available.
Since it IS 17 bucks, and i don't want my money going to waste like it did with SPB shell which was a bunch of bs... I'm going to pirate it, test it, if its buggy uninstalled, if its as how the video shows it to be, then hell yeah buying it however i can. now... time to find a pirating website haha
Alright, just pirated the app ( i will not share where I got it) I'll test it out for a day or two and let you guys know how its doing.
and for people who are having trouble with the compatibility,
try setting your LCD density to 220 im at that and its compatible on the market for me.
OR
PM the dev saying its not working, and possibly you can directly pay him and he can give you the apk? or even fix the problem if so many people are havin git.
First impressions: It's smooth, i won't lie there, it does what its been saying so far.
I've also noticed that all the app icons are LOW RES.
Changing the LCD density to 220 didn't work for me, still not compatible on the Market.

I'm calling bull**** lol because the first thing I did was buy the app, back it up with titanium back up, then refund it only to find out it has a license check. So I said **** it and bought it.
Use lucky patched. Its fast but feels like there's 90 steps to make a phone call. Its really fast and visually appealing but I can use launcher pro with my eyes closed so ill stick with that...and its free hehe

Thanks for the post, But right now we don't even have a fully working AOSP rom, and this only works on an AOSP rom!! Wish it worked on sense, does it work? have you tried it on 3.6?
the voice search does not work in the app
typed searches are just fine however

No CM9 on the Amaze??? Thought someone said they did it over here... huh
Sent from my HTC One S running CM9
seriously I just bought my phone in november!!! I feel like my phone is like 3 years old already. I though google said they weren't going to go crazy coming out with major updates so fast. After my amaze I'm going back to a google flagship phone and staying with it!! As much as I have come to grow and love sense, I think I'll be able to get many of sense features with third party apps and many roms that will be developed for google flagship phones! I love my amaze, but I hate HTC and all other cell phone manufacturers, It took them 6 months to give us ICS, samsung wasn't that great about the update either. I think there's also a clause that forces cell phone manufacturers to provide updates to phones up to 18 months. I read that recently somewhere! so hopefully we'll see some version of jellybean on our amaze, it's not that big of a leap from ICS, but does have some very good features that I really would like to have.
We're close to getting Pure ICS AOSP or AOKP on our phones, I don't think jellybean update will be much harder. I think going from GB to ICS was a major overhaul thus taking companies, Cyanogenmod, and many devlopers months to perfect ICS. Jelly bean is not the case. It more like going from Froyo to GB.
Let's cross our fingers. I already want to throw my phone out away, and It's only been like 8 months since I got it!! This is just ridiculous.
Nope, running nightmare sense. Having the same issues as just about everybody else. I think Sportsstar has a aokp(wip). Can't be sure.

it should... its technically universal as long as your running ics. which you are. so try it out
On Energy ROM, and just installed this following the instructions in the original thread. Works great.
So I'm on stock ICS and I can't even find this in the market? What's the point of having a google phone if we can't use google software? I don't get it.
Because it is a feature of Android JellyBean modified to be used on our Ice Cream Sandwich phones...

BTW Google Now is working great for me. It gives me a heads up when I need to leave for work with traffic information. It also knows when I usually go to the gym and gives me information when it is time. Kind of freaky but I like it

I still don't really get how Google Now really works, esp since it's hacked onto our ICS devices. So do you have the google search bar as a widget on your home screen and the cards show up automatically?

Yeah you can have the widget or press the capacitive search key, those are taken over by Now. All searches go through Now but it is seamless and not a big deal.
They had problems working in the voice search as the JB and ICS voice APIs are different. The work around was a modification to input voice to text using ICS voice engine and inputting it into JB.

So I've been using this for about a week and the only cards it shows me is the weather. Do I have to ask for it to show me the traffic consistantly for it to work? I don't get this...lol kinda feel noobish.
do you have gps on? i find that it starts remembering similar locations and then the cards start showing up.
If not you can go into latitude and update address
I just saw this today. Anybody else surprised. Google tricked us with the key lime pie lol. So it should be here in october along with the nexus 5. Anybody expecting or wanting to see some major changes? Well discusd it here

I wouldn't say they tricked us, they said in an interview they were going to go with Key Lime Pie but the deal with Kit Kat kind of happened at the last minute and they thought it would be a good idea. Just don't want anyone thinking they intentionally pushed us one way or another. Either way as someone else said I have now been craving kitkats on a daily basis.

Well the ui is probably very similair.. The look drastically changes with a new Android version (e.g. 2.x 3.x 4.x) but 4.0-4.3 look similair.. So I don't expect drastic changes.. Since they gave it a new name and not just jelly bean it will have some drastic changes I think..

If I'm not wrong Google said that the new Android version would be light enough to run on devices with 512MB RAM, which people guessed would be the case of 4.3, but in the end it wasn't, so I believe 4.4 is going to be a lighter android version, which means way faster user experience on high end devices .

They actually fixed the Mali leak already. Any other reboots are unrelated to this issue.

Yes, the reboots have drastically reduced! I have had only 2 reboots after the 4.3 upgrade (more than 30 days ago). That's completely acceptable to me.
Just wondering if the non N5 Nexus devices would be the first ones to get 4.4 (if at all they plan to roll it out that is)?
Well like always they should have a list of all model android devices that will get the update pretty soon

Oh gimme a break...

I normally don't upgrade (you can thank windows vista for the trauma lol) but I'm actually looking forward to this.
This and the ubuntu phone
Hope it takes care of some issues that 4.3 has

I used to have a terrible memory leak (5MB of RAM free after only a couple of hours! no exaggeration!) on 4.3 until I tracked down the programme responsible; Chrome!
I hated Chrome for Android already (screws up formatting on a lot of sites, reloads sites on tab switching EVERY TIME, no way to force desktop mode by default, no way to stop overview zoom), but discovering it was responsible for chewing up 80 to 90% of RAM with a memory leak multiple times a day really sealed it!
Switched to AOSP Browser and not had to reboot my N10 since! Currently at 92 hours uptime and 460MB free/cached RAM

Chrome is indeed the default browser (which is shocking on Google's part given how rubbish it is!)
You can find the AOSP browser in the Themes and Apps section of the Nexus 10 forum. here are two versions available, this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330738 which is the easiest to install but you cannot force-enable desktop mode permanently (show stopper for me).
or this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154938 but the "Find in page" option in the overflow menu doesn't exist in 4.3 so there will be a weird text string (just ignore it)
In both cases you must have Root in order to install
