Installation
 Atom Launcher is installed by no changes can be seen
To change your system to use Atom Launcher, please click the home key (usually the large middle button) and
then choose to use Atom Launcher – this should change your home to use Atom.
(If the home button method doesn’t work for you : Menu > Settings > Application(App) > Home (Samsung
home, Etc..) settings > clear basic defaults > home button)
 How do I check the version of Atom Launcher?
You can check the version by going to the top of the home screen dock bar and looking to the right of the
Home icon. Updating often is a good idea as we are constantly rolling out new functionality.
Home Screen
 How do I adjust the background of the main screen?
By pinching the main screen with your fingers you can get to the wallpaper page and select from a variety of
backgrounds. The plus button will add a page, while pressing the “x” button at the end of the page will remove it.
Up to 9 backgrounds can be set in this way.
*Page Favorites Feature: If you press the home icon of desired page from the page collection it will be added as a
Favorite.
 I suddenly cannot see icons or widgets (or, can barely see them)
Confirm that you have the transparency set to 100.
Atom Launcher themes provide various images and styles; the transparency function is for those who do not want
their Apps and Widgets to be obstructed by various Apps and widgets that may get in the way.
* To adjust transparency
Using your finger, drag up from the bottom dock bar and you will notice a selection between filters, transition
effects and transparency. Press down on transparency and adjust it closer to 100 for more visible icons.
 While using Atom Launcher my App and Folder names were lost
Atom Launcher is not the cause of this problem. A device using Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS/4.0) may encounter
these errors. Currently, this problem is difficult to solve via the Atom Launcher.
This problem should be fixed in Jelly Bean. Please upgrade your OS if your device supports Jelly Bean.
 Widgets are not installed in the default home location
Samsung and some other device makers only allow default widgets to reside in the home location; unfortunately,
Atom launcher cannot control this.
**Widgets: Calendar (Monthly, Daily), memos, digital/analog clock, contacts, Quick settings (wi-fi, brightness, mute,
settings, GPS, etc..), Google search bar, clock and date
 Status bar is gone
The status bar does not disappear.
Atom is set up to have the status bar visible only when you need it, such as when you look through the settings.
* To hide the status bar on the Home screen, press and hold on a blank home screen space > launcher settings >
home screen > uncheck
 I cannot see the number of missed calls
Badges for missed calls, unread messages (number) and newly received messages only support standard
applications. On some devices, these badges may not work, depending on the manufacturer.
Menu Screen (All Apps)
 It’s hard to move icons one by one!
If you update to the latest version of Atom, you will see some changes to the App Drawer that may help you.

**Multi Wallpaper Themes : Touch and hold on the home screen > Theme settings > Multi Wallpaper > click the
images you want > Select background-change type > Back Button
 On Atom, my SSKIN Butterfly + theme is not available?
Atom can support most SSKIN themes, but because many of the themes are not optimized for Atom, there may
be some functionality that is not 100% supported.
SSKIN themes created for Froyo and Gingerbread (Android OS 2.2/2.3) are not optimized for new versions of
Android and thus may not be able to be used smoothly.
