This may have been mentioned (Google+ is hard to search, very ironically), but is anyone else experiencing problems with saving / loading  new custom desktop / folder styles with LLX 8.6.B1 (R1115)? I can’t get it to work at all, and it even crashes when attempting to save over a new custom style (I’ve emailed in the crash report).

Following a discussion with Chris sledge  and +Keith Rogers, here is a short tutorial on how to share your setup using an APK.

1) make sure to set the home desktop so that peoples loading your theme will start with the right home desktop.

2) export your setup using “Customize Lightning / Export for APK”. You are asked which desktop(s) you want to export. This is useful when you have several desktops, the one you use, and the other(s) you want to share. The operation will create a file named “Template” located in “/sdcard/LightningLauncher”.

3) copy this Template file on your PC, and point your browser (please use Firefox at the moment) on http://www.pierrox.net/android/applications/lightning_launcher/packager/packager.html

4) set a package name, upload the file and an icon for the APK, and once files are uploaded, click on “Download source package”. This will download a zip: unzip it somewhere on your PC.

5) launch Eclipse or Android Studio (easiest is to download adt-bundle here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)

6) import the project by browsing the package you previously downloaded and unzip at step 4

7) build it and export it (a tutorial using Eclipse here: http://www.programmingodyssey.com/2013/01/create-signed-android-application-using.html)

Then it is up to you to share your APK the way you want (Google Play, other app stores, by email, on your web site, etc.).

Hope this helps !

If a stop point has stop scrolling, it stop all scroll.

What I mean:

If you have a stop point with ‘stop scroll’ ‘left to right’ and ‘right to left’ only. If you scroll diagonally, when it act it stop all scroll. What I think it should do is to stop horizontal scroll only; not vertical scroll. Just like the edge of a screen.

Maybe it can also be possible with ‘stop dragging’.

I bought LLX a couple of days back, and am liking the dynamic text functionality.

I bought LLX a couple of days back, and am liking the dynamic text functionality. But I’ve got a little suggestion for power users. Would it be possible to have an option for dynamic text which is the output of a command or, failing that, which will be the content of (or first line of) a file?

For example, I could specify 

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

to get the current CPU frequency as a dynamic text.

Thank you for being a developer that actually cares about his application.

Thank you for being a developer that actually cares about his application. I like the fact that you’re constantly updating your application. I believe I put my money into the right launcher. Thank you again!

Hi, guys.

Hi, guys. I’m not pretty sure if this is a bug or not (anyway, it’s not a big deal). The only thing I miss in the new stop points configuration is a more friendly snapping options. I don’t know why, but every time I try to use them in more than one of my stop points, they stop to work correctly (sometimes, barriers don’t work anymore, or the scroll doesn’t stop at the point…). As you can see in the photo attached, I place two stop points per side bar, just to get scroll stops at each edge of the bars. Everything works fine, but the snapping option. Any idea?

The Last Changes (8.6b1)  regarding stop-points is working bad.

The Last Changes (8.6b1)  regarding stop-points is working bad. sorry to say that but before it works better and smoother.

1. i had to change my last layout “heartbeat” and need to add new stop points   ok, that not the big thing.  but

2. it overscrolls on the right side what it didn’t before 

3. scrolling/swiping was much smoother before ;-(((

often if have to swipe twice ;-((( because of point 2?

another thing is the option to show stop point.

why it is general an not per desktop?

addition:

i made a testdesktop and a video

Actually i did it before work.

Actually i did it before work.

Example of one row/column sidebars all around a single home screen using new stop points settings to avoid scrolling passed them.

i have not populated th right and left sidebar widgets yet as i was just playing around with it.
