Splay Launcher - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone used this launcher? I read about it on Engadget. Seems cool. Better IMO than the PIE style launcher except that there really aren't homescreens and widgets/icons.

It does need some polishing and fine tuning. But its a very interesting concept for a launcher !

I read that on Engadget too and am using it now. Looks like a nice design. Should be a lot better once all the links in the menus work. Many of them seem to not do anything, like the email link.

This launcher has great potentially. Theme and widget support can make it complete android launcher . Hope in next update .

Splay, right, is that despite looking nice and futuristic, it’s really, incredibly, unbelievably intuitive. Sure, I love big.

I also like Go Launcher, it give you a lot of animated effects in the app drawer

Nice launcher thanks for the tip

Nice start but laggy in key elements of the UI
Thanks for the tip but the launcher lacks a lot of customization at this point.
Go Launcher EX FTW!
I just installed this tonight, it looks great, but I can't get widgets to show up. Anyone else have this problem?

Best widgets for the Note?

Anybody have any recommendations for which widgets look good on the note? like 5x widgets with good resolution?

How'd you get it to work? I can only get 1x1, 2x1 etc and my largest is 4x4. I see no options for a 5x widget.

I have HD Widgets running on my note too with the 5Xwhatever options. They included the larger widgets in their latest update I believe. You may be running an outdated version or it may be that the free version doesn't have the larger widgets. Are you using the free version or the paid?
They just show up in my widgets as an option. You must be outdated or using free version.

Ya only thing I have so far with a 5x2 is beautiful Widgets. Can't remember the names of the launchers tho that let you resize widgets. Tho from what I remember they really don't look right resized bigger usually

Android Pro Widgets with the Modern ICS Dark theme is really nice. I use the Timeline and Calender widgets at 5x5.
I believe zeam and ashell let you resize

[Q] How's Nova/Apex launcher running on the DNA?

Anyone installed Nova launcher yet? Coming from a GNex I think that would be my first order of business. Any performance issues, resolution problems, etc?

ive been running nova for over a week now, and it runs like a champ
I tried to deal with sense for about 4 hours yesterday... App spacing is atrocious and that dock is fugly and you can't change it to anything remotely attractive... Installed nova and doubt I will look back until maybe a desense Rom is developed
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
I got mine today and set everything up before loading nova back on. Nice and smooth as always.
Best thing is, the locksreen shortcuts are what is on the sense dock. You can set those to anything, then go to nova.
Anyone able to get wallpapers to scroll??
I'm trying Nova, but many of the Sense widgets are missing. I wish there was an app that would allow 4x5 layout on the stock setup. Does anyone know of anything like this? 4x4 just looks silly on such a large display.

Doesn't Apex do that? Set the grid to 5 x 4 in the home screen settings

Looks good. Def. In early beta. Needs more options. Will be on the lookout for this one though.

What a really bad copy of tsf shell..
Folder, free icon, rotate icon, icon menu, etc...
This looks really awesome would love to see what it is gonna be like once it is out of beta stage.
Thanks for the share

LOL really? Tsf shell??! How on earth you got that idea?!? It looks so much like go launcher!
Tsf shell is a good launcher but no way worth the price.
this launcher is so smooth i just hate the icons it comes with and need more options for the grids but its coming along great for a beta
they try to copy tsf shell. are you blind? all the new feature is in tsf. That's all.
that's not a problem for me. It's just funny.
On note 2 we need option for more than 5 dock icons.

There are a few launchers in my sig, for anyone who wants to compare them all. I'll be sure to add yours once it's released.:good:
Wow, total weak copy of TSF. The tap and hold options are virtually identicle. Also severely lacking in the options department. The only good thing is free cost at the moment.

Home launchers

Hey guys I was just wondering what home launchers you guys are using I'm using nova launcher right now but I'm looking for a launcher that won't take up too much RAM the most I've seen on nova is around 30mb also what lockscreen apps are good?
Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using xda app-developers app
I'm on Gingerbread, so I idk how much ram would be used for you, but I use Holo Launcher with 3 pages of 4x4 widgets, and another page with a clock widget, and Facebook widget. I also have regular app icons too. I keep the app in memory and it only uses 24MB of RAM. I use Holo Locker and the keyguard service that runs on the background is about 8MB.

Based on their .apk sizes Holo (non HD) is the smallest followed by ADW, but that may not reflect what they actually use at run time.
There are already threads in the general and themes & apps forums for home launchers so you might want to browse through those.

Using Next launcher, like it a lot.
Im using NextLaucher3D, stunning work havent used very many but this one is my fav so far VERY customizable
Have tried just about every launcher except the $16 3D launchers which I'm guessing may not be for the OP if you're concerned Nova is using too much RAM. I love tinkering with themes and widgets so I love using SSlauncher but it also requires a fair amount of RAM. Nova Launcher is a great combo with Tesla Unread and Widget Locker, my favorite overall combo of launcher-lockscreen but I've seen other's rave about Holo. Apples and Oranges I guess but I got Prime when it was on sale for 25 cents so I'll stick with that.
I actually prefer just using Sense over a 3rd party launcher if given the choice but obviously its not supported by all ROMs.

I'm not worried about nova seems to use just about a reasonable amount of RAM compared to others the next 3D launcher uses about 30 mb less than go launcher surprisingly
