[Q] Gingerbread Launcher for 2.3.3 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i recently updated my SGS to JVK 2.3.3 and i want to use it with the gingerbread laucher, but, i cannot find a "decent" apk. I can install gb launchers from the market, but those are the ones compiled for 2.2, 2.1... and they feel a bit laggy... Does anyone have a 2.3 gb launcher that is compatible and compiled only for 2.3., taken directly from for example nexus s? I would really appriciate it. Thanks!

Why not install ADW with gingerbread theme it's better than stock gb launcher IMO. Search under android development or apps&themes of this forum, think I've seen it there.
You happy with 2.3.3 ???
Pozdrav zemo.

I've tried almost every launcher out there but, i really like the stock launcher, clean&fast, i really like the app drawer. Launcherpro & adw ex come close, but the stock launcher is my fav. 2.3.3 is great, great battery, but missing root & cwm, and themes I don't like samsung stock stuff, AOSP is my thing. I'll try to find decent gb launcher, all of the ones that i've tried are not good, 2 of them showed blurry icons in the app drawer.

The problem is not with the Launcher, it is because of 2.3.3 graphic library has some bugs. I already fixed it, see my post.

Wait for a stable CM 7 port with the required framework.
Else you can switch to the early MIUI rom like me.
Except for a glitchy camera and non working GPS and FM radio, its pretty stable for daily use and CM7 has got nothing on MIUI theming imo.

ok thanks... i will try the MIUI rom... and i really hope that the DEVS can make this MIUI rom with fully functional features on it. the GUI kinda nice.
You can install different launcher instead. But yeah, I'm also w8ing for MIUI. It's preety good, but some funktions still unstable.
Install a different launcher and you can choose the themes that come along with it.
I am currently using GO Launcher EX. There are quite a few themes to choose from there..

bt porting themes directly for stock launcher is more cool

COMPLETELY Stock Froyo ROM?

I can't to seem an official AOSP built Froyo ROM that works like it should. The AOSP build I tried has a completely messed up default launcher, it scrolls everything WAY too fast, and the home button doesn't work until I install a third party launcher like LauncherPro. All the others seem to have other, third party launchers. Please don't tell me that LP is better than the Froyo Launcher, as I want to try it myself before deciding this myself.
The only other ROM I found that has the stock Froyo Launcher is DarchStar's AOSP Froyo ROM (v2.8). Except the link is dead
So does anyone have a completely stock AOSP Froyo ROM? I would build it, but I'm not aware of the changes I need to make. Plus I don't know exactly how, and it would definitely take more than a few hours on my 5 year old computer.
This is the most common froyo rom I think. It's built from aosp instead of Cyanogenmod

That was the one with the messed up Launcher It scrolls WAY too fast, and it won't lock until I install a third party launcher.

[Q] Disabling Touchwiz GNote?

Now, I'm currently running Gingerbread, and touchwiz is fine. But I've been looking at the leaked ICS for Note and its wrapped in touchwiz and looks kinda bad.
I was wondering if there is a way to disable/uninstall touchwiz on gingerbread (this would give me hope for ICS).
I mean disable, not cover up with another launcher or something similar.
Cheers
Gingerbread 2.3.6
You cant uninstall twframework, but you could if rooted do what you want.. Like remove the twlauncher with rootexplorer and push a orig launcher in there

Do you have root on your Note ?
Install an AOSP ICS ROM or the new MIUI ROM...Touchwiz free...and better than any stock firmwares.
Edit: I've honestly never run any Android device that wasn't rooted or running custom firmware. Most people don't around these parts anyway. Your everyday Jo probably couldn't even tell you what phone they have, let alone the operating system.
if you just don't like Touchwiz you can install another launcher, regardless of root and whatever ROM you are on.
Similarly, when Touchwiz ICS comes out you can just install nova launcher and a minute or two after the update already get rid of the gaudy colors and icons.
Probably the best will be when we get a post-alpha build of CM9 with everything including s pen apps working, but that may take a while

No not rooted yet. I have previosly rooted HTC Desire without problems and the Odin method looks pretty easy.

[Q] Galaxy Note GT-N7000 ICS

Hello, I only recently upgraded my Note via the OTA to 4.0.3. I like the look and feel of it but the appearance is not so good in my point of view. I was wondering if anyone could suggest ways to delete TouchWiz or a good stock ics ROM like the one of the Galaxy Nexus. I have never rooted before but i'm open to the possibility if I can find a good tutorial.
Thanks in advance for coping with my n00b question.
hey
hi this is a new member
Well, if you want to get a stock ICS look (or something close to it) without the need to root or tamper with your device, check out Nova launcher. It looks almost identical to the stock ICS, minus the widgets being in the app menu which can be done to with root, and also it has the ability to have 7 wide dock bar like the Nexus 7.
precisely, as stated above, do you want to change the launcher or entire ROM? there's plenty of launchers in the market, as for room, you may find few with clean, un-samsung-ed Android, like CM9, paranoid etc.
What is better?

What would you as a senior member suggest to just get the clean stock ics look rooting or not doesn't make a difference?

If you're feeling adventurous, I'd recommend paranoid android, cm9 or aokp for pure ics feel.
If not feeling adventurous go with an alternative launcher.

Root Galaxy Note
Hello again, after extensive research I have come across a forum post here on xda that says I can root my Note and using root explorer remove the twlauncher which is basically the touchwiz interface.
I was wondering if this can really work and will it just be like a stock ics like on the Galaxy Nexus?

TW Launcher should be removable, however, I'd install another launcher first - otherwise you mught end up with no possibility to run anything. Besides that, removing tw launcher, will not give different system look, it's just an app launcher.

[Q] apex launcher on GB

Hi guys, my O2X is running GB 2.3.7 temasek build 127, with stock kernel.
1) I'm tired of the old launchers (ADW, Go, launcher pro). Is there a version of Apex or similar running smooth for GB?
I tried Holo Launcher, it's pretty much like Apex, but it's still alpha and quite laggy.
2) Has LG officially announced ICS for O2X? When it happens, devs will be able to fix all CM9 bugs, right?
(i'm still on GB because of those CM9/Miui v4 bugs, can't use a high-end phone without video encoding/decoding)
Hugs to everyone.
I think it's ICS only like Trebuchet, Nova Launcher and the new LG UI 3.0.
But you can take a look at this :

Choose the ''Multi-Resolution'' to fit perfectly to your O2x.

1) Actually, APEX has less options than ADW EX (Highly recommended by me. ). There are also a lot of other GB-compatible launchers that you can try for fun. Zeam, Windows 7, Regina, etc.
2) No official specific announcement yet. Most likely, yes.
