CircleLauncher (v. 2.1.2) Разработано db-ware |
This widget will help you to start your prefered apps or call your best friends - but with style!
You can add some frequently used apps, contacts or bookmarks to this launcher and start those apps, contacts or bookmarks with one click from a circle, a horizontal or a vertical line. Use the included launcher icons, load your own image or use a icon from any icon pack (CircleLauncher icon packs and ADW launcher icon packs supported). If you slide over the icons, they are animated a little bit mac-like ... just try it!
There are some issues with Android 3.x (and ICS): There is a default shortcut at the home screen that will be created after the installation - this shortcut works only for apps, but the CircleLauncher is a widget and has to be added to the home screen using the widget selection ... the shortcut will not work and can be deleted. Also some devices need a restart (or wait a few hours) until the new installed widget appears in the widget list. But at the moment, I don't know the reason ...
Additional features in the full version:
- custom icons for the icon on the homescreen
- support for ADW icon packs for the icon on the homescreen
- vertical and horizontal launcher versions
Some icons in the screenshots are from 'CircleLauncher IconPack One' and the wallpaper is 'wp clock'.
Facebook-User, please read: Restricted contacts are created by the Facebook sync adapter. These contacts are accessible to a whitelist of applications, which is specified and enforced by Facebook. The restricted contact API is private, which means that nobody (with the exception of Facebook) should be using it at this point. So the only way to get the pictures from your Facebook contacts is to use another tool to synchronize. I would suggest to use 'SyncMyPix', please try it!
Please don't move the app to the sd card - it won't work!
If you noticed a bug or have any questions, please send me an eMail - I cannot answer to comments, there is no way.

[2012-08-24] Whitt: Excellent But please add the ability to disable the opening animation... Even on the fastest setting it is slow (the only slow thing about my Asus Transformer Pad) |
|
[2012-08-23] Arthur: awesome Awesome app for using less space on our phone! I didn't think this would be much of a time saver but this app rocks, very handy and I love it alot. Great Job! |
|
[2012-08-15] Kristoffer: Awesome Use it every day all the time. I love it |
|
[2012-08-14] Charles: Pretty nice This system works great, but I would make it so that there is either an option for no animation when opening, or make it be able to open faster or make the animation faster. Very cool looking! Makes my nex7 look futuristic! |
|
[2012-08-14] Ralph: Perfect! Best App! Love it. Update brought this up to 6 star status!! If you're having issue with contact assigning randomly, you have an issue with google backup vs backup assistant. |
|
[2012-08-14] Fielding: Mr cloud Its the best app I have ever gotten |
|
[2012-08-14] Hans: Better quality Better quality of the icons and faster animations, the ability to scroll through icons would make it 5* |

[2012-07-28] devlogic: Trouble with Jellybean I wish the developer had contact information on their website, because I'm having trouble with Circle Launcher on Jellybean (CM10 preview) on the crespo4g (Nexus S 4g) platform, and don't want to simply leave a negative review and stop using the app, because I love its functionality 99% of the time. My problem: it seems like I have to re-place and reconfigure my launchers every time the Android Launcher (i.e., main android launcher) process launches/loads when USB storage is unavailable. This includes both when turning on/of USB Mass Storage and on boot. I'm willing to assist with troubleshooting if the dev wants to contact me (twitter:@devlogic). |

[2012-07-26] Lady Joker: 2 yr user, recent problem opening droid icon Ive been using circle launcher along time, and loved it, but recently i cant open droidicon thru the icon display in circle launcher, instead of being able to chose my icon directly i have to open droid icon, and preset an icon. Why the set back? -atrix |
|
[2012-07-24] Keith: One of my favorites Simple, clean and very functional. Frequent updates makes it top drawer. |
|
[2012-07-23] troy: GS4 I Love 0 |
|
[2012-07-23] MUGUR: Folders of the Future Once you try it you'll never go back. (Try Swipe Pad also) |
|
[2012-07-21] Mr.: Hide menu Need option to hide menu bar, not status bar |
|
[2012-07-18] Aleksandr: HTC REZOUND COOL LAUNCHER |
|
[2012-07-17] Teri: Ice cream sandwich fix! Doesn't work! |
|
[2012-07-16] Dr. Piranha: Won't Die!!!! Circle Launcher has always been a very well put together application, and I've always found it to be a great utility and addition to the phones I've owned. But I cannot give it five stars, I do not want to even give it 1 star, but with Android's rating system I have no other choice. My vehemence for it lies in the simple fact that I cannot kill it. I go into my "Running Processes" on my phone, and even though I'm currently not using the app, nor have I for quite a long time, well there it sits running, eating up precious resources. This would be understandable if I was using it, but as I've said, I'm not. I select it in the menu for running applications, click "Kill", and absolutely nothing happens! I repeat this futile step exhaustively, and it does absolutely no good, the app just will not die! I have no patience for an app and it's developer, if they can't code an app correctly, and keep it from stealing valuable system resources, while it slows down my phone. If this is fixed, I'll amend my review. |
|
[2012-07-15] David: Excellent app Works really well on my Motorola Zoom. Definitely recommend it |
|
[2012-07-13] 2kotic4words: htc amaze 4g At last! I can finally clear up space on my home screens with this app! I definitely recommend this! Truly a 5 star app. |
|
[2012-07-13] Scott: Extremely Useful Info For those of you that have issues with Horizontal or vertical configuration, when you open the Widget and the apps are displayed - press the menu button ON YOUR DEVICE. This will allow you to access the widget'a configuration options. :-) 100 STARS FOR THIS AWESOME APP/WIDGET! |
|
[2012-07-11] John: Thanks! Working awesome on 7" tab |
|
[2012-07-09] Jason: This is an excellent widget! Transparent icon: check. All that's left is the ability to reorder icons in the app list. Keep up the good work. |
|
[2012-07-09] dean: I love the ability customize |
|
[2012-07-09] Rob: Samsung galaxy gti9000 Simply superb. |
|
[2012-07-08] Michael: Great App This is perfect for what i wanted. Also installed the icons and they look great. Only downside i found compared with other similar apps was the lack if animation. I love eye candy and this app would be a perfect 10 with an expanding circle... Possible update? |
|
[2012-07-08] Rauf: Rauf Bad no opening |
|
[2012-07-04] F14: Crashes Bought the paid version and all it does is crash on my bionic. Only way I was able to access it was through play store. |
|
[2012-06-30] Paul: Was Great Now Not Used to be great until the last update, now app icons open ontop of widget icon in horizontal mods and cause app not to open. This also doesnt look nice. Please change back. |
|
[2012-06-29] Manny: Magic Know your ways and you can make some pretty amazing things with this thing. This has been essential part of my Android for a couple years. Thank you :) |
|
[2012-06-28] Dean: Won't work on my phone. I wasted a dollar on this app and it won't work on my bionic running ics. What a croc. |
|
[2012-06-24] Malcolm: Relay good Love it |
|
[2012-06-24] kenneth: #1 app on my list When asked to list my favorite 10 apps, Circle Launcher is my number 1. Easy to use, save and setup. Keeps my home pages clutter free. Love it! Only suggestion would be to add Widgets to the catagories. |
|
[2012-06-24] the 6/28/2012 Can't get to settings With the last change, an app icon opens on top of the launcher icon, so I can't tap on the latter to get to settings. |
|
[2012-06-22] Elizabeth Courtney: Awesome app It only took me about 3 seconds to buy the paid version after using the light. I absolutely adore this app, especially all the customization features. I have my apps grouped by category and a matching picture of one of my friends as the icon. The possibilities are endless! No more trying to find room on my 5 screens for all my apps, no more trying to organize them over and over again and just ending up frustrated and overwhelmed. I will never have an Android without this. |
|
[2012-06-22] andy: !?Lost the ability to resize in vertical or horizontal mode so icon now appears to far away from circle? New ui is confusing. Have reverted back! |
|
[2012-06-22] Rich: New update sucks I reverted to previous version. Unable to change transparency of widget icon in latest version. Thank God for Titanium Pro! |
|
[2012-06-21] Anonymous: Just Cool Love having this option for organizing apps |
|
[2012-06-21] Steve: Good app Nice app, bookmarks look terrible tho when using this app |
|
[2012-06-21] Taochok: Excelente Se podría mejorar agregando efectos a la hora de mostrar los iconos porque ya funciona excelente |
|
[2012-06-20] munk3y: Love it Made life ez |
|
[2012-06-20] Marc: Awesome Very nice widget |
|
[2012-06-20] Gordon: Really nice widget. My only comment is to remove the cool widget icons from the GooglePlay artwork, as it is misleading. Circle Laucher's native icons do not look 'as advertised'. Either show the ugly, or provide the cool. |
|
[2012-06-18] Livio: Got a live wallpaper, this is the launcher to use I'm using a UK SNote running ICS, and I've got a great live background, any homescreen icons would just ruin the effect, CircleLauncher just fits the bill nicely, a nice simple widget to use only, with no invasive OS launcher changes needed. |
|
[2012-06-12] Arild: Works perfectly on Galaxy Siii Great way to steady organised and create a personal look wIth the custom icons |
|
[2012-06-11] Doug: Lacks Customization Options Users are forced to use the standard icons for apps when using this widget. Got an app with a hideous standard icon? Unfortunately, your Circle Launcher will now be marred by that hideous icon.You won't be able to customize it with a user specified image. Poor. Moreover, folders / app groups cannot be included on the "circle". Each individual app must have its own slot on the widget. This effectively means the user desiring to launch a large number of apps must either have overpopulated Circles or multiple smaller Circles. A ideal design would allow the user to simply pick apps and/or folders directly from their home screen, complete with their current custom icons. |
|
[2012-06-11] Kristi: Neat Concept I like it. Not too complex. |
|
[2012-06-10] BenRogersWPG: The Best Launcher I've Ever Used The best quick-launch app. So easy to use. I would like the developer to add functionality so you can sort the apps in the circle your own way, but besides that, perfect app. Should be a default app! |
|
[2012-06-08] William: Not hard to use. Just create the same icon that you backed up, after you save that icon you should be back on the same screen with the new icon, tap icon, it will be empty no apps, tap and hold icon, this will take you to settings, tap backup restore, then tap restore and choose the icon name and it should then be restored, tap save and go back to screen with the icon, tap on the icon and all the apps you backed up with lite version should be there. |
|
[2012-06-08] iweardiesel: Nice... I love the application I can't use any of my Androids phones without it.. |
|
[2012-06-06] Jason: Fun alternative to folders Folders can show more items, but this is a great alternative if you want something with a little dun factor. |
|
[2012-06-05] cory: Awesome |
|
[2012-06-04] Amy: Ok The symbols available for this are so limited. Please make more! |
|
[2012-05-28] Doug: Awesome! I read about this launcher on XDA forums, purchased it and have been extremely happy with it. Keeps my screen clean and organized so all my apps are organized and at my finger tip. Great job Dev! I'm running on Samsung Note with ICS leak and APEX Pro. |
|
[2012-05-28] Snoo: I get compliments on How clean and stylish my phone looks. I just wish there were system toggle capabilities, it would get 5 *'s. |
|
[2012-05-24] abe: Great This is an excellent 10 star app functionally and asthetically. Could not live without it! |
|
[2012-05-12] Piper: Awesome APP Great on any phone |
|
[2012-05-05] Chase: Amazing Love this widget! |
|
[2012-04-30] John: Good Good |
|
[2012-04-29] john: Beyond Awesome - 5 Star ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is not apparent how good this is till you use it, I skipped the free version after posts about some loosing their setup moving over to the paid ver. THE PAID VERSION is awesome, pages of ICONS can be placed into several widget circles and NO MORE page after page of homescreen icons. YOU can set the size / transparency of the widget icon, the text size and position, the shading of the background when widget active, the size of the apps in the circle, much more too... Did I mention you can have vert. or horz. lines if you don't want circles. 5 Star ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ app. HOW TO IMPROVE? allow user to arrange APP ICONS in circles,lines, I just can not thing of anything else... Galaxy note 100% |
|
[2012-04-27] Jim: Needs work The horizontal and vertical views suck. Need a scroll feature or something. They're just all scrunched up together and as such, practically useless. I only bought the full version cos the circle just wasn't big enough (customisable as it is), so i too "wasted a buck". |
|
[2012-04-26] John: Okay, but not good enough. Circle takes a few seconds to open each time. Very annoying after a while. |
|
[2012-04-24] the 4/25/2012 a must great app! |
|
[2012-04-21] Jared: Don't listen to crawford Maybe if he had a relevant device his review would matter. This a a must have on all my devices. It allows me to maximize my screen without sacrificing ease of access and use. Wish I didnt have to pay for extra icons but so be it. |
|
[2012-04-21] Song: Neat! This app works great! This helped me streamline my desktop screen big time! Saved the configurations from the free version and restored them in the paid version easily |
|
[2012-04-20] Natsuki: Best app luncher out their I am love this on my Samsung galaxy S2 saves a ton of screen space and it's fast |
|
[2012-04-17] Richard: LOST STARS.... this is a fantastic app. Works like a champ. Would be 5 star if it launched short cuts. The CONTACT LIST is really messed up too. |
|
[2012-04-17] Amber: PERFECT FOR ME!! Thank you :) SGS II |
|
[2012-04-16] Mordechai: Awesome Excellent widget and not a hog, either. This thing rocks. I use wave launcher and dock4droid, this is the simplest and most elegant. Make more stuff!!!! |
|
[2012-04-14] m: Excellent Love this app launcher saves space and helps with organization well worth $1 |
|
[2012-04-12] Crawford: Very disappointed Took more than 15 minutes to figure out upgrade from light version was no good. Only icon without functionality. Please circle launcher doesn't even recognize it has been downloaded. I upgraded to circle launcher from light. What was the benefit....no them recognized etc...wow. Should have stayed with the light version. Wasted a buck. |
|
[2012-04-12] prasen: Gr8 Very nice n useful for saving onscreen space. |
|
[2012-04-09] Cherrisa: Nice Addition to my home screen. Would be nice to see FREE icon packs |
|
[2012-04-08] Anthony: Must have Every home screen should have this on! |
|
[2012-04-03] jace: HUGE That is all... |
|
[2012-04-01] Daniel: Bess Bessssssss |
|
[2012-03-25] Recardo: Like it Better than I expected . |
|
[2012-03-23] carlos: Gooooood Gteat app |
|
[2012-03-21] John: I agree about the recent apps folder This would be a great widget for recent apps. Please work on that ? :) |
|
[2012-03-21] gary: Still looking! Where do I find the full version? |
|
[2012-03-21] Anton: Great folder substitute. But preformance is bad. On my device (G2) the 'folders' might take up to 2-3 seconds to open up. This ruins the feel and flow of the whole thing. |
|
[2012-03-13] daniel: Amazing absolutely love this app Iv made all my Widgets transparent so now I just touch my blank screen in the right places and hey ho up pop all my selected apps |
|
[2012-03-13] Alvin: Awesome Highly recommend |
|
[2012-03-12] the 3/13/2012 Free icons Please!!!! |
|
[2012-03-11] Steve: Like it. Would be a 5 but doesn't do a good job applying ADW icons to widgets. Grainy and pixelated. Good dev support. Thanks, Dirk |
|
[2012-03-08] Andrew: Circles Brilliant! |
|
[2011-04-02] alexander: force closes & app customizing is limited. don't set launcher as an home screen or it will force close your homescreen still fun though. (intercept) |
|
[2011-04-02] james: I like it. Rooted samsung indulge. |
|
[2011-04-01] Karol: Nice look,great app...evo |
