[Q] [REQ] Themed TW Launcher?

Is anyone working on or have a themed TouchWiz Launcher? I like the TW launcher because it is lightweight and doesn't take up a lot of memory (even with the friends widget active). But it is not very customizable.
The only modified one I have seen is the Crush TW launcher which has a 5 icon dockbar, and I like it but it doesn't allow me to add the friends widget or set custom pictures for icons.
Can the normal TW launchers framework me modified through Ninja Morph, etc?

What are you looking for?

Just a Tw launcher with a 4 icon customizable dock that maybe allows folders and custom shortcuts. Maybe with dark themed touchwiz widgets. I thought something was out there...but am having trouble finding anything.

The TeamCarbon Steel Blue theme has a blue themed touch wiz launcher that has a customizable dockbar. (I also use BetterCut to create my own customer app icons.)

Good day, find it a tad odd that you're having trouble getting the friends widget to work with my launcher, BuddiesNow should work, and nobody has reported any problems so far. If you're looking for dark themed touchwiz widgets, then it's not the launcher that's responsible for that, but the widgets themselves. I'd suggest the Vibrant's TW widgets, they're the darkest themed out of all of em, I have a modded Vibrant BuddiesNow in my thread. And as mentioned above, BetterCut can be used to edit some images, though from the TouchWizLauncher itself, only folders, the App Drawer icon, Google Search widget I think, and I guess the page dots are what can be changed.

Thank you for the advice and your work. I finally did get the TW widgets to work with your launcher. I had to push them into system/apps with root explorer before I pushed your launcher. Its all good now. I have been pushing items with root explorer because amend zips will not work with my edify CWR.
I am currently running the Miuiwiz Rom now, but I am going to use your launcher when I go back to Com Rom or EF. Thanks for the response.

Launcher 2 No Animations?

A few days ago I installed the froyo aospmod from this thread: link, and I just love it as it does everything I need it to do and it's fast as hell, but the thing that is bothering me is that the launcher doesn't have any animations. For example when scrolling through homescreens or opening the appdrawer everything is instant and not as smooth as other third party launchers or the htc sense launcher. gingerbread launcher 2.3 works like I want it to with smooth transitions and effects but it has the new grey dock background and I really like the froyo (glass) background. So my question is there a fix for this or is there something missing? I really hope there is as I'd like to keep my phone as stock as possible and the gingerbread dock just doesn't seem right to me.
I have an HTC Sprint Hero in case that helps any. I've tried mixing the xml files from the anim folder from the 2.3 launcher to the launcher 2 but that didn't help any. I've been searching for a fix for the past two days so any help is appreciated.

Try more launchers. My favorite is adw ex. Launcher plus pro is nice. Go launcher is nice. Etc, etc, etc.

Thanks I'm using launcher pro at the moment, I just thought maybe there was a fix for this as I've seen other people with the same ROM and launcher but with the nice scrolling and transitions. Maybe its a hero issue? Hopefully someone does know a fix for this instead of replacing the launcher completely.

Miui Launcher on Droid 3

For those of you who are Miui fans out there, I ran into a Miui Launcher. And it's as close as it gets to the official ROM's launcher. From no app drawer, to the dock, to the widgets, to the themes. After editing my build.prop and changing my VMheap and Maxperseconds or whatever that one is, I went back to the Stock Launcher and there were no redraws or any problems. I love Miui icons so i installed custom shorcuts from the market to add my Miui icons to my frequently used apps on my stock launcher. I love the blur effect when switching from screen to screen. Then Unfortunately, i ran into a problem. I found this Miui Launcher and man it is pretty amazing! Now i don't know which launcher to use so ima sleep on it and hopefully I can make a decision based on your feedback but check it out. I left the link to share with ya'll!

Miui seems cool to me, and that theme looks good, but I personally have no problem with the stock one (yet, As I'm still new to android devices). Only thing I'm trying to change is the notification bar.

How do I remove this launcher and revert back to stock?

Just go to settings applications then manage, and uninstall the miui launcher

I tried this out the other day, a few apps are in chinese as well as the clock widget.

[Q] App drawer??

So basically my Xperia Z is running MIUI Andriod 4.4.2 kitkat, and its amazing , i like the stock launcher since its damn smooth and no lag, except that it has no App drawer and is more like iPhone, have been wondering whether there is any Modded stock launcher of MIUI or another Launcher with MIUI widget and theme support and yes APP DRAWER!! -_- its frustrating to know there isnt app drawer in the stock MIUI laucnher , Need help buddies :angel:

miui doesn't have the app drawer, that's part of how it works, it is essentially an ios clone, if you want an app drawer change the launcher to something else

Actually i am aware of the fact its an IOS clone just that most of the launchers consumes a lot of memory and i find the MIUI launcher smooth and less memory consuming thats why recommend me a launcher that consumes less memory and provides feautures too

all arrrisea
Unfortunately no app drawer, if you download it you can get nova launcher but will return the stock Android interface.

A quick Google finds this app - App Drawer.
It's recommended in the English MIUI forums here.

Which launcher do you use?

Hello All,
I've had my Note 8 for awhile now. I enjoy the stock launcher but I hate the ugly icons do you guys know of any good launchers or a custom version of the stock where I can change the icons?

stock is for me enought good not need other i use it 2 months ago Nova Launcher but i go back to stock

Nova is really fine, it has gesture controls, many screen transitions, scalable icons, resizable desktop grid, subgrid positions, widgets can be stacked, you can resize any widget, folder customizations, statusbar and nav bar customization, dock customization, plenty icon packs available in playstore, notification badges, and many useful features, I have used it since my S3

pixel launcher (3.5), you'll have to side load it, search xda for it.

Stock, which is surprising. Every device previously owned I used Nova (Prime).

I am still using Samsung's Experience UI and have had no issues whatsoever with it.

I hated the stock launcher so I started using Nova. Nova is really good, but LauncherPro is where its at!

Was on Nova then tried the stock launcher on Oreo and fell in love with how smooth and responsive it is. Besides, while using Nova, I always had a weird delay before Samsung Internet launched once I pressed the icon.
Microsoft launcher is great as well. Give it a try! Especially if you have a Windows laptop/PC.
