Lightning Launcher V14

After several months of work and alpha/beta testing, I am proud to announce Lightning Launcher V14!

This is a big step forward, with many improvements, great new features and a huge overhaul of the internal architecture.

Under the hood, the new architecture will deliver more performance and more stability. But before all, it is designed to offer strong foundations for future evolutions, because the mobile world is itself constantly evolving.

This is an invisible change, but some other new features are much more prominent:

• Lightning offers a new object type: plugins. Think at plugins like “lightweight widgets”. These are ready to use, custom components that you can add to your home screen. When adding a new item, swipe to the plugins tab and select a plugin to create one. Since plugins are based on scripts, they can do pretty great things, and plus, they can be customized. As the list of existing plugins grows, you can expect great stuff from them.

• Thanks to the new architecture, Lightning can now be used as a custom Live Wallpaper. You can put a desktop as your Android background, with all Lightning capabilities, including scrolling panels, scripts and full support for widgets. This feature is a paid one in order to support the app’s development.

• For users of Android 7.1, Lightning brings the App Shortcuts functionnality as a standard action, so that you can easily link it to your prefered gesture (long press, swipe, or anything else). To pin a shortcut, long press, then drag and drop it on the desktop.

• V14 also comes with various improvements, such as a faster app drawer startup. On the script side, the engine received a myriad of new features, allowing to write easier and better code, as well as allowing a deeper integration with the launcher, thanks to customizable popup menus for instance.

I hope you’ll like this new version. As always don’t hesitate to report bugs or suggest a feature.

Enjoy!

  1. Bonjour.

    Merci beaucoup de votre travail dont je profite tous les jours.

    Cordialement

  2. Thank you for your efforts. It is a very well designed launcher with great stuff integrated. One question: I try to make an car radio interface on one of the desktops. It is possible to put radio stations shortcuts directly on desktop? How do I do that? Thanks

  3. Thank you for your feedback. Direct radio stations shortcuts depends on whether your radio app supports it. Try to add an item, select “Shortcut” and see whether your radio app is listed there. Sometimes the shortcut can be added from the radio app itself. Or maybe it can provide a widget too.

  4. Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll try this way and let you know if it works. Maybe other users wanted to tryout this one!
