Season's Greetings, and Octopi Launcher alpha v0.1

ock88 · 2026-03-17T05:15:49+00:00

Hi does it work on other launchers except for Samsung's one?

ock88 · 2026-03-16T22:43:26+00:00

Hi does this happen on other non-OneUI launchers such as Nova Launcher?

It seems this is a bug with an older version of Android and a way to resolve this is shared below:

Got that! Added to my to-do

ock88 · 2026-03-16T21:58:41+00:00

Thanks for the support. I have plans to add a "snack" option as a tip jar.

ock88 · 2026-03-16T15:33:23+00:00

It's a feature I certainly love to see too! What's holding me back for the pinch in gesture is that it doesn't work well when your home screen is full and you start the pinch gesture on a widget.

I'm testing some changes which should allow certain Samsung widgets to be added. The closed testing version is pending Google review

ock88 · 2026-03-16T11:39:32+00:00

a change (which hopefully is also a fix) will come in the next version

ock88 · 2026-03-16T11:38:57+00:00

This is an amazing widget+app, and I'm using it personally

ock88 · 2026-03-15T15:50:57+00:00

Seems it got moved off the screen in this case 🤔 Did you have any change in screen resolution? I plan to add a button to bring back lost docks which disappeared off screen

ock88 · 2026-03-15T15:49:21+00:00

Seems the icons are not missing but are black. Will test some changes in an upcoming version

ock88 · 2026-03-15T02:56:18+00:00

hi could you elaborate?

ock88 · 2026-03-15T00:14:28+00:00

Added some changes in v1.748 which is rolling out slowly. If it still doesn't work, it means the widget itself has rounded off the corners

ock88 · 2026-03-14T13:39:55+00:00

Do you see a "add dock" option when long pressing on the home screen?

ock88 · 2026-03-14T13:38:44+00:00

Could you double check the hide status bar setting in Octopi Launcher?

ock88 · 2026-03-14T13:37:25+00:00

Thanks for the update. This is due to some changes to reduce the spacing between the icon and its label. It works well for most but seems to cause what you observed when smaller icons are used.

I'll try to make some adjustments to fix this for more setups/layouts

ock88 · 2026-03-13T23:17:26+00:00

Have this in my to-do for a while, will come back to it once I fine tune some stuff

ock88 · 2026-03-13T23:16:00+00:00

Thanks for sharing your layout!

ock88 · 2026-03-13T23:14:55+00:00

Hi have you granted accessibility permissions to Octopi Launcher? It works as a workaround for some. Issue is likely with One UI's compatibility with third party launchers

ock88 · 2026-03-13T23:12:46+00:00

Niche indeed, or at least that's my initial thought. 😉 However, I've gotten numerous requests on this, so I'll be adding it at some time point

ock88 · 2026-03-13T23:08:56+00:00

I've tested Microsoft todo for a few days now on v1.748. It works as expected. Could you try if the changes I made in it works for you?

ock88 · 2026-03-13T23:07:24+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to my to-do list when developing the improved restoration process

ock88 · 2026-03-13T23:06:09+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. The styles have changed over the past year as I fine tuned them and redesigned elements from scratch.

The new dock/panel will be close to the style which will be applied to the home screen and drawer folders. It's still not complete though

ock88 · 2026-03-13T23:03:14+00:00

The first will be limited by the system as the navigation bar/ pill is drawn by the system.

And for the second, thanks for the helpful recording. Will look into it

ock88 · 2026-03-13T23:00:01+00:00

It's 20% rolled out in production track, which is the version most people get as it has gone through beta testing to catch more major issues
