Chameleon Launcher Now Available For Android Phones As Well

Back in 2012 we reported on a new Android launcher called Chameleon. Originally designed for tablets, Chameleon is an Android launcher that will be able to change and adapt itself depending on where you are, the time, and so on. Now the good news is that if you don’t own an Android tablet but want Chameleon for your phone, you’re in luck because the folks behind the launch, Cwe, have launched the phone version of their launcher. While we have yet to use it for ourselves, assuming that the phone version is similar to the tablet version, then expect to have the same experience but on a smaller screen.

It is definitely not your typical Android launcher and is packed with features. Chameleon is currently available on Google Play and it is priced at $2.91 for the phone version. However if you plan to get an Android tablet in future and want to use Chameleon, there is a tablet and smartphone version of the launcher that is priced at $4. In the meantime if you want to see what all the fuss is about, you can check out the video above in which the good folks at Phandroid go through the launcher extensively.

Chameleon Android launcher hits version 11, adds support for native widgets

It’s not every day that we cover launchers of any kind, but when we heard the Kickstarter-funded Chameleon had been updated to version 1.1, we thought those of you who have supported the project since its early days would be happy to hear the news. And while the refresh itself doesn’t bring many changes, it does include the long-awaited support for stock Android widgets — not to mention a few welcomed improvements to the current Twitter, Google Calendar and YouTube homescreen-living apparatuses. Naturally, these will go hand to hand with those tweaks announced less than a month ago in version 1.0 of the tablet launcher. There’s a video courtesy of Chameleon situated down below — in case you’re interested in seeing what all the fuss is about before you download the Android commodities.

Chameleon Launcher v10 available on Google Play for $10 video

After a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign (twice) and a month or so beta period, the highly anticipated Chameleon launcher is finally available for Android tablets. In case you were at your summer home and out of reach, check out our Insert Coin post concerning this home screen replacement that promises a dynamic environment, capable of responding to its user’s location, connection or time of day. Its claim to fame are some slick HTML5-powered widgets, and the developer API site has also been updated to help third party sources become a part of the action. Even at 1.0 there are still some rough edges and the team’s blog post mentions problems with the Gmail, Google+ and calendar widgets as known issues. Pre-orderers and Kickstarter backers can keep the beta app they’ve been using as it will continue to be updated and tied to their Google Play profiles, while those who were or are still on the fence should check out a video preview embedded after the break. If you opt to buy, it’s in the store ready to roll on tablets running 3.2 and above for $10.26.

Chameleon launch for Android tablets now in beta

A while back we reported on the Chameleon Kickstarter project and in case you haven’t been following the news, Chameleon is a Kickstarter project that aims to change the way the home screen on Android tablets look – essentially a launcher. What makes this different from other launchers is that it attempts to change the info on the home screen based on your location, WiFi networks and even the time. For example during the mornings it might load the news and stock quotes for you, while at night it might load a list of recommended restaurants and movies to watch. We guess that’s the reasoning behind its name as well. Now the good news is that if you were one of the backers of the Chameleon Kickstarter project, you will be pleased to learn that the beta version of the launcher is currently available for download from the Google Play store so pop on over for the download! In the meantime if you’re wondering what Chameleon is about, check out the video above or head over to its Kickstarter page for the details.

After a false start to its Kickstarter funding, the Chameleon launcher project for Android is finally arriving — at least in beta form. It’s currently ready for install from Google Play by anyone with an Android tablet running 3.2 or higher, however to actually unlock the software you’ll need to have your account authorized on its servers . For the moment that’s restricted to a VIP list of early testers to bash on its core systems as well as the included HTML5 widgets. The beta for Kickstarter backers and pre-orderers will be staggered to let the company test its activation system, so if you haven’t been switched on yet it shouldn’t be too long of a wait. If you’ve hopped over the velvet rope, let us know how the new experience is running on your slate, those stuck on the outside looking in can catch a quick demo video embedded after the break, as well as hit the company’s website to register for access and progress updates.
