Looking for an app/theme? I think....

I saw it on a youtube video and the apps would scroll up/down and it looked as if it was 3D like they were coming up a wall from the bottom of the screen then laid flat when they got to the screen....I know it's a rough description but does anyone know what I'm talking about?

You're probably looking for something like LauncherPro. The has an option to use that 3D view when scrolling apps.

I think it might just be the stock Android App Drawer animation
Here it is on 2.2 but he says it was also there in 2.1

Yea but it's no there on the Samsung UI.
Launcher Pro is based heavily on stock Android, so downloading that and turning on the 3D effect will net you what you desire (I use it myself).

[Q] ADW launcher wallpaper problem

Hello folks, today I decided to try ADW launcher on my GTAB. I must say there are some really great looking themes, and its quite smooth and nice to use. The only problem I have went through so far is that wallpaper doesn't fit the all screen when in landscape mode. I have tried to resize them with the Gallery App, and I have also tried to download new ones from interfacelift with resolution of 960x854 or 960x800 but nothing has changed, and even wallpapers downloaded from the Grallery app doest fit the all screen in landscape mode. So I thought it must be a bug in ADW. Is there a way to make them fit the all screen ??
Thanks

not sure if this will help as I dont have a tab, but go into the ADM launcher setting and check or uncheck the wallpaper hack option....maybe that will help

It's old thread but is there anything happened with that problem since December? lol
Im still strugling witht that problem and half an hour surfing on the net didnt help. I sent mail to developer but so far no reply.
So the problem is old does anyone solved it yet?

What exactly is happening? Are some parts of the screen not covered by the wallpaper or are you only seeing a part of the wallpaper. I use ADW and in landscape mode. I get the top third of a wallpaper fully covering the screen. A live wallpaper I use works perfectly. Perhaps reset ADW to its default settings?

I AM using adw ex version...

Have you tried these wallpapers with any other launcher?
You'll find that its the gallery's fault more than anything. Try multi picture livewallpaper

I am experiencing this as well. Portrait mode there is no issue, it is just landscape mode.
The stock standard Samsung home screen doesn't have an issue, it is just when I am viewing the ADW Launcher EX home screen. It is zoomed in on a particular section of the wallpaper and is only displaying a portion of the picture.
I have a Samsung GT-P7510 running Honeycomb 3.1 and ADW version 1.3.3.1

I too have the issue with my galaxy note, and i started this thread and had no luck so far

ADW Launcher EX wallpaper rotation bug
Well, on my Nexus 5 using ADW Launcher EX :
I'm in portrait mode, I set a custom wallpaper (image fits full screen, sides as expected are scrolling left/right when I switch through the desktops).
Now, I just rotate the phone to go in landscape mode, the wallpaper rotates but is cropped top/bottom and left/right too. "Ok, whatever..."
Then I rotate the phone back to portrait mode : the wallpaper doesn't come back to its original state but is kinda "zoomed in" so cropped on the four sides... I have to re-set it to get my original picture back...
The only fix I found was to force ADW to be in portrait mode and not use the sensor (the default launcher sticks to portrait mode anyway).
So, there actually IS a bug in ADW Launcher EX...
I wish the developer would fix this...

+1 VTL Launcher, settings galore!

I just started using slidescreen (beta 9 version). Very different and so far I love it.

+1 as well for VTL.

I have used about a quarter of the launchers on the list for this tab. I think that the best ones are VTL( for column and row size ), Go Launcher EX, and Open Home 6 ( has best transition animations as well as opening and closing animations) Most of the rest have sizing issues that I dislike. I am currently using VTL for the potential it has.

Its more of a reference to what else is out there. I was curious of what was available. Im sure others are too. Most of these are constantly being worked on. Its good to check in on them from time to time. Right now VTL.Launcher is my favorite. Mostly because Gojimi listens to what people like and he implements it.

Another +1 for VTL.

Same here. Though I do wish that the GUI was changed to accommodate the tablet while in landscape mode (i.e. allow icons to be docked above or below instead of the right hand side).
But as far as simplicity & the use of minimal system resources goes, I love Zeam.

Yes, VTL will run on BoS.
Starts to look a lot like CM7 with Honeycomb Icons at that point though

Thanks, very comprehensive list.

Didn't see SPB Shell 3D listed on the list even though there's a YouTube vid of it on the g tab...

Has anyone heard of any new launchers out there? My list is pretty old now.

SSLauncher?

I've just started using the SSLauncher on my HTC One X and I love it. I decided to install it on my 7.7 today but apparently it's not fully compatible (or I'm doing something wrong). The wallpaper only covers half of the screen....but if I switch back to Go Launcher or the regular Samsung launcher everything works properly.
Is anyone using the SSLauncher with the 7.7 having this problem?

I have not used SS Launcher but I face similar issue when I use ADW EX Launcher, although it's compatible with 7.7 but sometimes when i rotate the tab to portrait mode half of the screen is black...still can't figure how to solve this issue..hope someone knows.

Hi!
Trying with Apex launcher, I think not bad, we can edit logo, replace logo if we want. Also If you like Ipad design, you can use Ilauncher, quite simple and userfull.

Home screen not rotating since Marshmallow update

So I updated my Xperia Z3+ today and noticed that the home screen does not rotate any more.
I looked in the home screen settings, but there is no such option, like it used to be on 5.0.1.
Am I just not seeing this option, or has Sony removed this feature?

No answer I see. I unfortunately found the same thing, and it really annoys me. I had to move to use Nova launcher so I could get it back, but unfortunately I don't find nova as good as the inbuilt one. The widget handling of nova on the xperia is terrible, and the standard app tray is not as good as the xperia one. I keep hoping there will be an update that fixes it.
I guess it is that sony sadly stopped implementing mag charging and docks for the z5 and later so just don't care. And honestly I can not understand why they stopped that. It is fantastic using your phone as a bedside clock / photo frame on a dock. If I lost my current XPeria, I'd probably just buy the same model again, not get one of the later ones. Or find a different brand that did support horizontal dock/charge.
EDIT: It looks like they have released a beta of it with it fixed, but apparently buggy:

Mobe @ haha very funny... Why you said Nova is not better than Stock launcher? I think you doesn't know the true features of nova or you don't know how to customize it.
