Hi!

Hi! I just started using this amazing launcher, and I have a lot of questions. I hope you can help me. My phone is a Galaxy S3, with rooted Android 4.3, from Rogers (Canada).

1. Is there any way to add an “Unlocker” with any kind of security (password, pattern, etc)?

2. Is there any way to add counters to gmail, phone, etc. icons that show unread emails, missed calls, messages, etc.?

3. I am having trouble with some widgets that do not auto-update, like the transit one. Can you guys give me any hint into what could be the problem? Other widgets update just fine (like yahoo weather, or calendar widgets).

4. I have a noticiable lag when opening “All apps”, both when doing it from the icon or by a gesture. It takes close to 2 seconds to open, and sometimes I even wonder if I did the gesture right. Pierre Hébert told me to turn on the “Minimize memory usage” option, and it seems a bit faster. But I am afraid that this may slow down the launcher (at least that is what it says in the settings). So, have you encountered this issue as well? Is there any other way to deal with it?

5. Is there any way to select multiple items/widgets to move them around?

6. Is there any way to limit sorting and compacting to a single screen and not the whole desktop¿

7. I am using a second desktop as lock screen. In that desktop I am using only one screen, and I have turn off all gestures and scrolling, except swype down to show notifications. It works very well, but if I press “Home” button instead of unlocking the screen or touching any icon, the launcher starts behaving very strangely. Widgets disappear from the lock screen, it is impossible to open “All apps”, etc. Has anybody else had this problem?

Thanks a lot!
