as tittle. any launcher that can divide out category same as lg home? i wan put and sepereta all d applciation.... any idea?
Hi gliew,
Adw launcher can be used. Here you can put your apps in catalogues. You just have to scroll left or right. It's not the same as the stock, but it helps, I think.
I hope I understood your question right.

Try GO Launcher Ex. It can make some sort of folders for you.
thanks for the reply. adw, gonna try it later. fo launcher, erm folder, not my choise, i wanna make a category actually. seperating all d application instead foldering.
any other launcher?
Catagories in the app draw?
That i use - Go Launcher has this plus seperate category for downloaded apps, arc launcher u can sort apps via last run, most used, alphabetical etc.
I think the SGS2 launcher has this functionality also.
-smc
You can try "All Apps Organizer Free" (see here).
No need to change the launcher : I use it to replace the drawer.
You can add categories as you want.
I like it.

Hi everyone, I've been playing with new Nexus S (my first android phone) for a few days now, and I can't decide on which homescreen launcher to use because each has features I like and lacks some that the others have. Maybe someone can find a remedy for me. I've made some notes about what I like or dislike about the following three launchers I've used.
ADWLauncher EX:
Separate catalogs on drawer
Lacks scrolling dock (hidden dock is less intuitive to me)
Best homescreen transitions
Go Launcher:
Gesture response for icons on dock
Tab to see running apps from app drawer that lets you kill or switch between tasks easily. However, the tab takes away space from the icons. Maybe there's another way to access something like this, a gesture for example? (image here)
Best edit function for screens: provides convenient way to move icons from one screen to another, lets reposition screens, delete
2 touch access to phone settings from menu button
Share access from menu button
Launcher Pro:
Missed calls/sms/email notification in the doc
I personally like Zeam..

The main reason I use LPP is because of he cal widget and being able to use custom dock images. Over ADW EX that is.
Launcher Pro Plus, by far.

I like Zeam. Light and fast!
Actually I'll further confuse you.

There's a way to get the "counts" in ADW with paid app "ADWNotifier".

I am guessing you mean LauncherPro? Compared to drag-and-drop of HelixLauncher dock config, LauncherPro dock IS hard to config.
Why is LauncherPro so popular here? I feel like its the most limited. No long-hold uninstall or edit from the homescreen like the others. I liked it the least out ADW, Go Launcher, and LauncherPro.

I think LPP was the first Launcher to have a drop-to-uninstall function.
Zeam. Minimalistic, light, fast, awesome.

I have tried them all and I always end up back with LauncherPro plus.

hmm i should try go launcher a lot people saying its great i havnt tried it yet but tried others like lp adw and zeam and so far ive been stuck in the middle of lp and adw
zeam doesn't let you customize the icons in the dock. For that, you have to use launcherpro, and I think GO launcher could also work (someone mentioned adw could work, but i haven't tried)
BUT if you want to change the icons on your homescreen and don't want to switch to launcherpro, then get Desktop Visualizer. Pretty easy to use, and you can choose the icon you want for any action! You can also try Any Cut, but I highly recommend desktop visualizer
Couldn't you use a program to change an app's icon (like BetterCut or Folder Organizer), then drop the new icon onto the dock bar?
I haven't tried this yet, but I'll give it a go and post the results...of course, is anyone out there has already tried/done this, please feel free to share.
Is it possible to change the dock shortcuts?
If so, how?
(i dont want ADW eller launcher pro (paid for both)
Have you tried Go Launcher EX? Completely free, stable and quick. Have it on mine and works a treat. Can then change what apps launch. So I have Opera as my browser, Go Dialer as my phone.
Thx bro, but maby I was not clear enough..
*i DO NOT want any other launcher than the stock one*
(at least until someone can tell me its not possible to change the dock shortcuts )
But thanks anyway, i know and have tried a lot of the homelaunchers, but it just like the stock one, i like the appdrawer where things are sortet in 2 groups, included apps, and downloaded apps.. also arranged alphabeticaly.. makes it much easier to find stuff
its not possible, maybe with some hard coding?
Oh well... ADW it is then

I know what you mean the appdrawer was one of the things I liked about the stock launcher as well.
Go Launcher has the ability to group programs into folders, which makes it easier for me. Doesn't look as nice as stock but works just as well.
Not sure if the other launchers also do this
I'm sure it's possible to change by editing LGLauncher.apk.
I don't have the knowledge or time to look into it though..
I couldn't stop myself having a quick look into the apk.
DockingMenu.smali has a lot of references to some dragging and dropping, did anyone even try draggin new applications onto the dock?
In stock launcher just go into the app list, select edit and drag into the dock whatever app you need.

I was using Launcher Pro almost a year and I really like it's dock bar but GO Launcher Ex is a way more powerful than LP.
I'd like to copy LP dock bar into GO Launcher Ex. Yes, I know, you can change dock and icons manually in the settings but it doesn't look the same as original. I even found all necessary images:

But as I said, that's not it. :/ Is there any theme or app for GO imitating LP dock bar? Or can you tell me how to extract original dock bar and icons from LauncherPro?
PS: I've noticed that you can assign one app only to one folder in app drawer in GO Launcher Ex, why? I was using FolderOrganizer on LP where you can assign labels (folders) to the app, so one app can be assigned to many folders. Is there any solution for that in GO drawer?

You don't have to quote my message if you're replaying just under my post.
I'm not using ADW Luncher... Well, I think you didn't read my post at all? By the way I already said in previous post that I downloaded all icons and set them manually in dock but I'm not happy with results.
Thanks, but you didn't help me.
I was just suggesting adw as it is more powerful than lp, and I always quote as someone may reply while I am writing! My apologies for trying to help name noted, I won't try in future due to your terse answer, all the best

Oh, don't be angry on me! I prefer GO Launcher Ex, I used to have ADW for some time but I went back to LP. Now is time for GO. The GO team makes pretty good apps and have great support.
Hymm, I think that I just must get used to new dock design.
Ok ok, peace dude

Hi to all...I have cyanogenmod 10.1 installed,and i noticed that my battery is draining incredibly fast,especially since i installed Go launcher.
I was wondering what launcher is the best in terms of battery usage?
I see everyone is talking about Apex launcher,but i want a launcher that allows me to put apps into folders,but not on the home screen,but in the menu (where i flip through all the apps).

Don't know with nova launcher but with apex launcher (if you want only save space on app drawer) you can delete app from app drawer.

You can via Nova. You must do that within the Nova Launcher Settings menu, not directly from drawers.
Pros: You can organise your apps into tabs (like common Apps | Widget tabs in many stock launchers). You can also organise folders the same way.
Cons: It can be annoying whenever you install new apps as you need to organise them into the tab you desire. (I went around this problem by assigning the last tab as 'general apps tab' where all apps not categorised are put into, and where new app icons will appear)
