The perfect launcher for the TJ25?

[skaf]

Hello,

I have tried out every launcher that is available at the moment. Unfortunately, all of them lack features that I really want.
Is there a launcher that allows categorizing card apps, correctly supports my CLIE's jog dial (up, down, left and right), loads as fast as possible, allows for background images and skins and has a built-in file manager view (like Zlauncher)?

I have tried PowerRun for categorizing card apps using the default launcher, but it didn't convince me at all. Zlauncher has got everything I want, except that it does not support the jog dial the way I want and takes a short moment to load (even without backgrounds). AppShelf is has got everything I want, except for categorizing card apps and skins support.
So is there maybe a launcher that combines everything????

Under ZLauncher Preferences/General

Make sure it reads "Memory" and not "Memory & Card". That should give a speed difference.

Hi,

the option you are talking about is by default set to "Memory". I once tried "Memory + card" but as a result Zlauncher needed ages to load, so I never even thought of changing this again. But even when it's set to "Memory" it does take a little moment for the bars and icons to rebuild. I've really tried everything.

Put in a request at ZLaucher. They have been the most responsive to requests for quite some time now.

For speed, maybe it is your processor that needs a charging.;)

Hi,

I sure did appreciate your help!
OK, I'll try to make a request to ZZtechs, and see what happens. By the way, the TJ25 has got a 200 MHz ARM processor, so maybe Zlauncher is slow because it is not ARM native (or at least not entirely)?

Hi,

I just got an email from ZZtechs with an attached file that will, according to them, make the buttons work correctly. They also say that
"Since the internal implemenation of ZL is very complicated,
it can't run very fast. Anyway, we'll try to optimize it in the
future if possible. BTW, you are correct, ZL is a 68K native
app, not optimized for ARM processors."

So, hopefully, the optimized version will run faster!

P.S.: Thanks for your suggestion, Tixx. They are very responsive indeed.

AppShelf is optimized for ARM processors, supports skins (frames) and will categorize MS apps with the help of Shortcutz.
