Helix Launcher now available on Android Market

Looks like 1.2a was just released to the market... awesome.

Edit: Just verified custom icons (made with better cut for example) can be docked for all of those waiting for this feature.

Noticed that Helix Launcher 2 is now available as well. Anybody tried it out and know what the differences are between the two?

I have a droid, I downloaded the app from the market but nothing happened. I then I read the thread carefully and it says is only for devices with 2.1 sad day :-(

And for those who don't realize it, 1.2a is 2.0.1 compatible. :icon_ banana: Trying it out right now.

OK....so i have it installed and works very well. Live wallpapers are indeed interactive and have had zero problems except a couple mindless ones. How do you put the small icons on the bottom? Also, i have only 3 screens not the 5 or 7 as it states it has. How do you access those?

just got 1.2a, AWESOME!! the only thing that would make it better to me is if you could put 1x1 widgets in the tray bar, I use SMS Unread Count and GMail Unread Count (switching fully to SMS unread count fully when it can do multiple GMail accounts) and would love to have my counters down there

All in configure......all had to do is "think". It's hard to do on Mondays:icon_eek:

Yea that's how you change the screens, if you haven't figured it out yet, the app dock bar thing is a simple drag and drop.

I have seen a couple posts about this but dont see it in the market...?

Is HL2 only for 2.1?

Are they showing up on the "Home" launcher and not the HexLauncher -- launcher? If that's the case, you likely have 1.1a which doesn't support Better Cut.

Been using for a couple days and works flawlessly, haven't had one FC or any kind of issue whatsoever. It's crazy how such a new app has pretty much made Home++ obsolete haha...
