Oh I know I was just looking at the screen transitions though and thinking about ADW that's all
Other than the new transitions, can any of you who are using comment if it's smooth and fast on the nexus s? I had it previously and it actually slowed down the phone rather than making it faster/smoother like it did on my nexus one.
Just waiting to reinstall it. Thanks guys!

Quit waiting and install. It really is smooth as can be now. Haven't seen a single stutter.
Before the update it was so herky jerky for me that I switched to adw. Its great to be back. And the 3d launcher seems to be fixed as well.

Worked smoothly before the update and just as smooth after.
the 3d app drawer option still doesn't work for me. very glitchy/lots of stutter when scrolling with it. otherwise very smooth in all other areas. now staying with LP from adw ex.
I've just downloaded it for my nexus s.
On the one hand the home transitions are perfectly smooth and I really like the visual effects.
On the other hand the app drawer scrolling got worse, it's laggy, that nice visual effect where I could see the previous and the next app icons is lost and the orange effect that showed me when I reached the end of the list is half-ruined (only the lower effect doesn't work like before, the upper one is fine)
Not really satisfied, I'm hoping in a new update.
Edit: first issue solved: the glow effect when you reach the end of the list is now perfectly working after i disabled the "home icon in app drawer" option.

I've never seen a spec of lag with LP on any phone except my MT3G which was a piece of feces.
I get lag when using pinch-zoom to view my 7 home screens. I disabled the 3D app drawer bc it's still buggy. Other than that I love LP and its new transition effects!
LP still stutters when scrolling through the appdrawer ... I use livewallpapers and adwex is glass smooth when scrolling through the appdrawer ... I'm keeping adwex.

That's your prerogative but I've honestly never seen that once.

Heck, I never even saw it before I donated and upgraded to LPPlus. Hope you enjoy ADW Ex!

I can go on with a list if phones I've had LP installed on and never had a problem. I gladly donated and don't regret it (don't get me wrong I love LP) ... The very very very first app I installed when I got my NS out the box was LP ... I noticed right away that scrolling through the appdrawer with a livewallpaper was kinda choppy. Countless roms later and this update ... its still the same ... I'm just thinking it's a 2.3 thing.

I hope you didn't take my tone to be rude, I was merely stating that I've never (again the MT3G but it was a slow phone period) had any issues so the arising of issues for people seems to baffle me. Also, I was implying that in a lot of cases issues can be related to user-related problems (IE if you have a lot of apps, your app drawer has to populate a huge list and might show some lag, or having a lot of badly written widgets might cause some stuttering on homescreens, etc).

There have not been too many comments on this launcher. Of the few FC has been known since middle of Oct. I don't think I am going to give it a shot as I prefer TW or AOSP launcher myself. Thanks for posting another option, put screenshots up since there are none for the app.
so, I dled and i'm not so sure about it. it does feel very quick, but it fc's even trying to get back to the home screen. I'm not sure if I like how the app drawer re organizes everything. tho, I'm sure its just something you would get used to.
Screen Shots! (forgot to set invert red and blues, sorry)
It's really cool. The desktop it pretty simple but the app drawer is customizable.

Scrolling seems a little buggy to me except it feels a lot smoother when scrolling through the top list of apps (where it shows the full picture in front bog the green background). It is a bit faster building the apps and there's a share option.
Seems pretty good. My only complaint is that the scrolling could be a bit smoother.

hey all,
I am running the tiamat hammerhead rom... I like it but right now there are not too many great themes for the xoom. A few color changing ones and the touchwiz port which i did like, but im down for something more. The best way to go about this short of doing my own theme is to get a good home launcher and use some custom animations and icon packs...
Here is the rub.. A lot of the home launchers are too phone-ish.. If that makes sense. Any suggestions? I was partial to ADW ex launcher but i looove the stock launching set-up. I mostly would like to maybe change animations, speeds, etc, but most importantly use icon packs. Any ideas for me or suggestions on good launchers with a stock home screen feel? I dont want my xoom to have a home screen like a giant phone lol
I just stick to stock until someone makes a launcher for honeycomb

I would recommend ADW EX, but since it hasn't been updated in 3 months and isn't fully compatible with 3.2...
Yeah adw ex doesn't work well with 3.2 at the moment. I believe the older adw (non ex) works but u gotta find an .apk for that

Not true, imo, ADW EX works great, so smooth with my config and I like having 6 screens. ADW settings is mostly disabled, meaning I can't change the size of icons, basically. But everything else works really well.

I have this and it works fine on my NS4G. I dont use it as a daily however.
I tried making a post last night from the phone lost it and said "screw it".
I use(d), as of today, it on my Nexus S 4G with MiUi and Bugless Pete kernel.
It works for awhile, I don't know what the trigger is, then it locks the phone up.
"restart and save" from the menu doesn't work as well as the hot reboot and a few other things.
Today I switched to ADW Ex, I liked TouchWiz but I'm starting to thing there's something "missing" or it's incompatible with MiUi.
I tried this for a few hours on brainmaster's MIUI. Got a bunch of FCs during that time so I went back to the default MIUI launcher.
Tried it on CM7 and Oxygen. Works at first then starts to freeze. Would be nice if someone could get this to work 100%.
I had this running on Oxygen and while the launcher itself seemed to be running fine, I was unable to get any of the widgets working. Have any of you had success with the TW4/GSII widgets? Clock & weather specifically.

I'm running it on a stock setup, once in awhile it will lag, when I hit menu>edit it will FC, other then that it runs and looms pretty good.

I just saw this newly developed app, Themer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer&hl=en
Is anyone using it? How does it work? I guess the easiest solution is just to install it. But the waiting list is so long. I want to know if this app can install a homescreen theme without purchasing the apps that the original designers used. Thanks.
Looks like you can do the same stuff with exposed framework
Sent on my Moto X
yeah. I am using it. waiting for more themes. I check it every couple of days to see if I like any of them.
I'm not 100% sure what will happen if you get a theme that used widgets you don't have. The themes that come preinstalled use Themer widgets that come with the launcher so they work out of the box on any phone. One of the widgets is very powerful like uccw.
Sent from my Moto X.
Well, the waiting period was shortened. With this code "MSTRCD" I was able to use Themer...after five minutes, I decided to uninstall it for such reasons as: 1, not really customizable after I applied a theme. For instance, I cannot resize a widget. 2, There is no simple way to switch a default app if I change my mind later.
Themer indeed can do multiple homescreens. But again, it is hard to Create anything new.
So far, the major downside of Buzz is it consumes more rams than Themer.
If you are interested in using it now, I got the code from here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/10/grab-this-themer-beta-invite-code-good-for-40000-uses-and-help-mycolorscreen-test-its-beefed-up-servers/
freeintruth said:
I guess I am just trying to see the main difference between Themer and Buzz launcher. With Buzz, for the widgets to work, which I do not already have, I need to download them. Some recent screens on mycolorscreen require Zooper Widget that costs $2...and Buzz cannot yet do the overlapping widgets. I wonder Themer can actually solve all of them together and remain to be free.
Oh, forgot to ask one more question: the biggest thing with Buzz, for me at least, is to be able to have multiple wallpapers. Can Themer do various homescreens in case I like three or four screens?
Thanks guys for the input.

I bet most people that build themes will use the included widgets and other built-in features. You can have as many pages you want and can have different wallpapers for each of them. Have a look at this video about how to theme with Themer...

Got a free code for Themer: TJMUH7. Enjoy
I tried it, but concluded that Themer is basically for the less experienced and the lazy users. The biggest problem with it is that it requires you to set it as your default launcher, which means that you lose all the useful features of nova launcher or whatever custom launcher you had before. No matter how simple it is to switch themes, the launcher is too important to the overall android experience to replace it.
With that said, if you take the time, you can port whatever full theme you like from mycolorscreen.com using the appropriate apps and get proper theming without replacing your launcher. Personally, themes are not a big deal because I feel like I will get bored of it very quickly. So I just stick with changing the wallpaper once a week and call it day.
Its a pretty cool app that makes theming your phone really easy by just selecting the theme, downloading it, then apply. It's kind of like the MIUI theme app but I think that was for just lock screens. There was a couple really neat themes I liked, I just couldnt sacrifice all of my nova launcher settings for this launcher. Plus having quick access to my most frequently used apps on the desktop was a must.

I agree. Why not make your own? There are some really nice features. The themer everything widget just like uccw but imo better implemented. You can easily, without another app, set different wallpapers for each page. I'm pretty optimistic that it will turn into a great launcher, possibly better than the competition.

They just removed this from the voting yesterday, maybe they are adding this in soon?
I ultimately stopped using themer for the time being due to lack of functionality with G+ and Hangouts. I really like the unread SMS and Email counter that you can add (like I did with my modified "Now" theme), but something similar should/could be added for G+, Hangouts and surely other things that people use (voice, skype, IRC...)
BTW, I have nothing to do with this app. I'm fighting my hardest to stay stock/unrooted with my Moto X and themer is pretty nice helper when I start to get bored.
