v8.5 is coming

v8.5 is coming

(please allow a few hours before the update appears)

Not as huge as KitKat, but this is nevertheless the greatest version of LL to date 😉

It essentially brings support for pinning items outside of the screen (uncheck the honor pinned items option in the general section for this) and it also comes with a fair number of bugfixes. All in one this is an intermediate release that solves urgent issues, not a big step forward.

Stop points are essentially working now and a beta will appear somewhere at the beginning of the next week. Stay tuned !

    Can someone give a simple example for when you’d want to pin something offscreen?

    Josh Gray would it be possible for you to make a short video ? I am not sure to catch exactly what the problem is. Also if you think this has something to do with your particular setup you can send me a copy of a backup and I will try it on my device.

    Thanks for your quick response, Pierre HĂ©bert .I’ve erased data app, but I’m still facing the FC issue. How can in make a log? I remember that ADB google tools are necessary, am I right? Sorry, I’m not an expert.


    Anyway, I would be glad to help you. Now, I’ve wiped data and cache and fixed permissions, let’s see what happens

    Javier RodrĂ­guez GarcĂ­a if the crash occurs in the app, then you will get a dialog that will let you choose how to send the log. If you don’t see this dialog but only the default Android FC message, then this means that it crashes before to enter the app. In that case it means that something is broken in the application installation (maybe try to uninstall/reboot/reinstall ?). Should this last case happen you can capture the log either with a log collector on the phone (need root access) or use adb (command line) or DDMS (graphical tool which includes a logcat view)

    Hi, Pierre HĂ©bert.


    I’ve tried to follow your steps but, after desinstallation and reboot, LL Extreme appears between my apps on Play Store as if I’ve never had bought it (with the prize indication). I don’t know what is the problem, Play Store must indicate that LL had been bought.


    Anyway, I’ve restored my Titanium Backup copy and now I`m on LL Extreme again. So, I’m gonna test a little more, to see if FCs appear again.


    One fact that maybe is intersting is that whe LL has crashed I’ve got no message dialogue at all, neither in LL nor Android OS. I’ve just found my phone working on my other launcher (nova, althought LL is my default launcher, of course), when I’ve closed Gmail or Google PLus, or when I turn on the screen.


    On the other hand, I must say that my configuration worked without problem on previous releases.


    If FC appears again, I’ll try to get a log.


    Cheers, and thanks for your support.

    Hi, guys.


    It seems that I’ve found the culprit of my FC issue. I don’t know the reason, but everytime I opened Gmail widget, LL closed, with no message, and when I left Gmail, only my alternative launcher was opened. Well, I’ve reflashed Gapps, and reinstall Gmail, and everything seems to work perfect again.


    Just to let you know, in case someone have the same issue.


    Good night.

    Javier RodrĂ­guez GarcĂ­a if you don’t get any message, could it be that ll does not stop but simply your other launcher is called again because it was in the history ?

    I don’t know, it could be. But it never happened before, and the issue seems to be gone after reinstall Gmail. So, I thing I had something wrong there. Anyway, I’ll report if I face FC again. Pierre HĂ©bert ,thanks again for your support, I’ll continue recommending my new launcher to all my friends.Cheers

    Emre Erdogan what about starting a new post where everyone can add icon packs related problem here ? This will be easier for me to sort issues. I think that Gustavo Luis Soto has a few items to add as well 😉

    Pierre HĂ©bert icon packs are still a issue in ll extreme. I could not use some of my favorites icon packs that are not adw compatible like click ui. But the advantage that i have with ll with other features surpass the cons that i have with icon packs. I know pierre would fix that problem when he ciuld find spare time ..thank you pierre for giving us this fantastic laumcher but do not forget of icon packs…
