On my Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.1.2, whenever I reboot Android seems to forget that LL is my default…
My friend used to have the same kind of problem but weirdly it seems to work now.
I’ve had this problem for a while wondering if any of the updates would cure it but it hasn’t so that’s why I’m writing this.
Otherwise this launcher is amazing and I got the full version!
Thanks in advance!
]]>So it’s time for members to vote for their preferred setup !
Anyone interested in this contest can use the following link to vote.
I have seen great ideas in submitted posts, and some of the themes presented here certainly qualify for a standalone template 😉
Thank you very much for your participation !
Edit: if using the Google+ App, the link is not available, in which case use the member name instead of the link.
]]>Oookay… here’s a single screen version of my last theme.
Sadly short after the contest deadline (any chance, though?). But “lady first”, young girl needed her bottle of milk and diapers changed.
Sleep is overrated, so I threw together the bits. While it works okay, I’m not write satisfied. I’d like more empty space. Will tune it, but not now. 2:50, time to get some sleep.
My second entry for the contest, shore before deadline. Descriptive screenshots will be added shortly.
Summary:
– Expandable main apps folder (“panel” from LLX Alpha)
– Vertically scrolling panel for widgets
– Multiple folders for categorizing apps
– Elegant Clock created solely with LLX Dynamic Text(!!)
– 3 different clocks in horizontally scrolling panel (NOTE: Josh Gray mentioned this also, just borrowed the great idea!!)
– Different Styles though loadable settings: Holo Light and Dark backgrounds; borders light, dark, Holo blue/magenta/red/orange/green
– Portrait only for now, did not have time to arrange in landscape (but will, have ideas)
– Works with any wallpaper
– Icons are all Android developer icons, thus free
All widgets used in the “Widgets” panel are purely for demonstration purpose, not included in theme!
Enjoy…
Whatever the contest brings, I think this one I’ll try to publish as APK soon.
Panel scrolling bug
Pierre Hébert
Here are the steps to recreate the scrolling bug.
1. Start with a new or reset Desktop
2. Add a panel that will scroll; like the one in Pierre Hébert’s demo. Make sure the items can be scrolled to the left.
3. From the Launcher menu choose Customize Lightning > Current Desktop > Items > +
4. In the Gestures section set Swipe Right to Customize Lightning (Do not set any other gestures)
5. Return to the desktop and try scrolling the panel contents.
]]>Not a bug report, but need to change:
If ‘swap items’ is checked, you can’t drop items into panels…because they swap. Could it be possible to disallow the swap feature with panels only?
]]>I thought that panels were not necessary in the contest, anyway this is my entry with them. (Small change)
It’s a simple one, easy to add new apps, pinned panel with settings (a bit different dock), help folder in free mode…
Sorry for the poor quality of the video, there is a screenshot to help you imagine how it is.
You can also check my older entry without panels. [ https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z12kiplhpsjcjxzp404cf3nbvqrpu5qgmbc ] (not sure if the link work)


Urgent question (not sure wether it really is a bug) to Pierre Hébert regarding inheritance in panels.
What I found: If I define folders’ background and borders at desktop level, changes apply immediately to every folder. But if I move a folder to a (new) panel, settings are kept at first. But changes at desktop level (“Folder windows”) to borders do not apply to these folders; however changes to background color do.
How is it supposed to work? Will settings inherit or is it currently a coinsidence?
It would be great if all “box” settings would inherit from desktop to folders in panels. Also in panel’s settings there are no “folder windows” options.
