home/launcher with 4 icons dock?

hi everybody,
does it exist a good home/launcher with 4 customisable big icons like touchwiz?
the launchers with 4 icons dock i found were very ugly, slow, and uncostumisable... (rolle, touchwiz-30.apk,..)
the perfect thing would be like any good launcher lp, go, adw) but with only 4 big icons...

im currently working on exactly this. i just started the project a few days ago and probably wont be done til at least a month or two. just sit tight while i figure everything out. ill post a quick rough draft video of how it should work later on today.

its going to work something like this. sorry for the bad quality. i did this in my free time at work using adobe flash.

Home launcher options

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

Lol i guess that will be the case. No one has any advice...

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.

Yeah thy made a 3.2 compatible version today... Still not all the way there in my opinion and quirky as anderweb releases tend to be at first until they find all the bugs. Props to them for the effort but i am still not sold. Gonna have to just try the stargate theme coming out soon! Which looks badass!

[REQUEST] App Drawer as Desktop?

does anyone know a way of setting my 4x5 App drawer from ADW or LauncherPro as my desktop screen, doing away with the home-screens entirely, but not horizontally like in MIUI?

Not entirely sure but possibly you could look for an app drawer app in the market, rename it to Launcher2.apk, and replace it in /system/app/ directory.
Of course, nandroid first!

just get an iphone already...

LOL! So true. If you want something like that just get an iPhone. Or even an iPhone Launcher on the market.

The best thing on Android is, that you can customize almost everything. So why he should buy iPhone where he can customize nothing?
I guess it is not bad idea to have home launcher like this. Though I won't probably not used it, because I am satisfied with stock ICS launcher for now.

We're kind of teasing him lol. Having the app drawer as the launcher would look just like an iPhone (just rows of apps icons). So we were saying if he wanted that he should just get an iPhone. If you really desperately want your homescreen like that drag all of your apps out of the drawer and put them on a homescreen. Problem solved?

Because he obviously doesn't want to customize the phone different from an iPhone. And if he was to try and put an iOS theme on there. Then why not just get what your trying so hard to resemble.

He wants to have launcher to scroll verticaly while iPhone launcher scroll horizontaly so I don't see your point at all. And the difference in Android vs. iPhone is just launcher? Nothing else?

Nova Launcher on Xoom w/ ICS?

Now that ICS has come to the Xoom, has anyone tried installing Nova Launcher on it? Any issues to be aware of before trying it?
I really like it on my GNex and want to use it for both devices, if possible.

I think you're kinda wrong, at least for Nova. If you look in the settings for Nova, there are settings for a Dock. And when shown on other devices (Galaxy Nexus from what I've seen) there is a dock.

their is a dock just play round with it, will appear

I think what he meant was, that there was no dock on the xoom.

Can you be more descriptive? Have you gotten the dock to show on the Xoom?

Beta 13
Home screen transition animations => stack
Starts messing up the ability to use icons on the screen... clicking on icons makes the launcher think you are trying to turn pages...
"cube" works well...
Great launcher... looking forward to tablet specific and "pro" options...

Didn't work for me!!(nova)

I got it to work but it wants to push my wallpaper down about 1/4 of the screen

Try apex launcher....

I had a few minor problems with mine when I tried on cm9 it was like the apps became part of the background and would not move but I deleted and re installed without an issue. I prefer the stock cm9 just fine I only run it at 1.2 compared to the usual 1.5 its so smooth.

CM10 Launcher

Hey
first i wanted to mention: CM10 and HP Touchpad is AMAZING!!! Got a lot of cheap tablets and used CM9/10 on them but this was incredible. For about 130 Bucks such a device... love it!! Thanks a lot!!
the only little thing i dont like is the launcher. really sometimes its stuttering a LITTLE(!) bit... but i hate this in my opinion everything has to "flow" (no, i didnt take weed )
So - whats the best launcher for me combined with my brand new CM10? Or can i adjust the settings to get it more performant?
I dont need any special things... i have a normal picture as wallpaper and 3 Pages with some apps and 2 Widgets (Kalender and clock/weather)... appdrawer also might be good but thats enough!
SPEED MATTERS!
Thanks a lot!!

One you don't take weed, you ingest it, smoke, or vaporize.
