HeLauncher2:
Simplicity has a love/hate relationship.
HeLauncher2 is a home replacement for the mobile operating system known as Android. The home application is the center piece to the users entire Android experience. Device manufacturers like to modify the home application to give the user a different feel for their device, to make their specific device stand out against the crowd.
What makes this home replacement different is the dev has gone and ripped apart multiple proprietary home applications from the manufactures and blended them together into one home application that can replicate them all with one button.
Features:
- Based off of AOSP Launcher2 from 2.3.4
- Three custom themes (Gingerbread, Sense 3.0, Touchwiz 4.0, ALL THE REST FROM He1)
- Transition animations for the desktop
- Blocked applications manager
- More new settings picked for Android users by Android users
What's in this version:
- Lots of small bug fixes
- Added screen indicator location preference

a free lite version would be great....
Looks good. Nice to have different choices of looks.
Paid? Wow, that sucks!
I can't buy it, since I don't have a credit card
Wow!! looking good
Looks actually very good! Could compete with the other top launchers if you introduce a lite/free version to allow people to test it out! I know I will!
Not too shabby, liked the first one as well, this adds a few of the badly needed features that were requested, though I'm not sure if its pay worthy vs Helauncher1
Also, needs Xperia style with the folders, and the sense style would look alot smoother with the page notification working like it does in sense... with these I'd feel it was worth my money
It looks very good! I'm going to test it if you add a horizontal app drawer and a smoother scrolling in the Sense style. I'll look here for updates.
looks great and would be interested in trying it, but the 15 minute refund isnt nearly enough to see how a launcher works. A Lite version would definately help
aww , nice, thanks!
OP Updated, 1.0.4
Kinda laggy on HTC Wildfire. The app has potential, though. Great work on the sense 3.0 dock.

I got it last week after porting an unusable ADW launcher. I love it. I have an LG Rev. I use the Samsung style home.
Loving the launcher, I'm using it to add functionality to my Meizu M9 (yes I'm using the Samurai theme).
I just have one request: would it be possible to add an option to hide icon text on the desktop?
Many thanks!
Thanks for the kudos guys.
As for a free/lite verison, you can just use HeLauncher 1 to test it.
I had this prior to getting my DInc 2 for the sense dock. Absolutely beautiful. My only question is, is there any way for you to make the page indicator exactly like sense? Not the dots across the top.
Loving this launcher, just need the new Motoblur with a horizontal app drawer and itll be perfect

Espresso | Nexus | SuperD 1.10.3 Theme.
Hello everyone. I am a graphic artist (of sorts) and I thought it may be time to through my hat into the ring. I am consistently blown away by the work here, but I am always missing something...
This is work based upon others work! At its core is Community Espresso, Enoch, and my own personal stuff mixed in. I have done little things for years now and a friend suggested I start posting them for others to use.
First, install SuperD 1.10.3 (awesome music widget!)-I suggest Black Nexus
Boot and let ROM settle for 5 minutes
Install My update file
Enjoy
This will allow you to keep your Nexus launcher and give you the dark interface of the espresso themes. Also includes custom boot image. i am thinking of making some more... YOU WILL LOVE THIS THEME!!!
If you like it let me know...
If you have requests, post them...
If you have ideas put them here...
I will keep this updated if there is a response to do more.
I am reworking to fix and will re-posting.
Fix List for v2 (4/21/10)
- boot logo is wrong one(new one is MUCH NICER)
- Nexus launcher stays...or perhaps adds it.
- Color of text in notification to white
- Focus color to transparent
- Any other suggestions? let me know
v2 (As Promised)
- did not change notification text color yet
Download the UPDATE HERE
v1
Download the UPDATE HERE
Enjoy
As always, do a back up just in case, and I would love if some of you could test this on SuperCSDIv4 for me and verify your results.
You've posted a theme without screenshots? Even if it has similarities to another theme...you still need screen shots.......

Agree So installed it over SuperD 1.1.0.3 and here are some screenies:

Looks nice! Wish it would come as a metamorph though, as I really like some parts but some minor details I'm not fond of (grey provider name for example, unreadable).
Thank You
Thanx for the post. I am very sorry for forgetting these.
-Pre... did you put over 1.10.3? there should still be the nexus launcher?

That's what I expected as well But it turned out like this...
Resorted to a Nandroid as also a lot of framework was overwritten that I really liked. Which was a shame, as I really dig your powercontrol widget!

That's Beautiful Widgets, with a custom skin installed
Yea someone please post a mirror I only have a g1 for internet access
I really like the theme. Everything shows up great. Only thing is that a CUBE app showed up and keeps force closing. Is this something your theme added?
WOW can you port this for us eris users??
this theme is fantastic!
Update
THe cube that was added was for the gesture search by google. I will remove it if it is causing issues for everyone. As for Eris Users, I will see what I can do. I would tend to think that it will work with you as well.

Its called "battery monitor widget" I'm using it. I like it better than current widget.
Who it needs:
Transparent Battery Monitor Widget (also without vertical Battery Scale)
Thanks Chris X. & internauta2000 for two Applications Extra
It's really beautiful. Thank you for your work.
Looks nice. Does that funny looking little "Back/Undo" arrow come with it? Cus.. I don't really like that.
Also, going based entirely on your screenshot, it seems like it could use a bit of a touch up. The alignment is slightly off and the widget appears slightly higher than the others.
Nice work regardless for an initial release.

Alright, time to flex those theming muscles.
I'm a gamer, you're most likely a gamer, and with both those conditions being met, it's safe to assume you are acquainted with Valve's masterpiece, the Portal Series. I appreciate and love the comedic and puzzling aspects of both Portal and Portal 2, and am excited to try to get a theme going.
The theme would probably get the biggest support for adw, free or ex. I personally am partial to AOSP ROMs, as are many of the themers/graphics guys.
Here's the running list of things to have:
• Bootanimation/Splash - DONE thanks to JamesC_
• Icons
• Icon dock
• Wallpapers (I think a cool idea would be to have alternative walls for widgetlocker and the homescreen, one with each color portal)
• Themed major widgets (start getting more specific with that later)
• CM Theme Manager or otherwise AOSP theme, including, but not limited to menus, notification bar icons, and a cute something on the notification panel
Possible icon sets:
http://qu1dam.deviantart.com/art/Portal-Theme-Icons-194420132
http://gorganzola1.deviantart.com/art/Portal-Icon-174389446?q=sort:time+gallery:gorganzola1&qo=2
Any more suggestions/pledges/themers willing to aid their time please comment below, and let's try to keep it constructive guys!
Let's start with some Wallpapers:
http://biofall.imgur.com/portal_theme#5eUEr
Wallpapers fail to fit my phone, setting from browser only shows small portion. Setting from gallery lowers queality like crazy.
I was bored today and was looking for portal themes for my nook running cm7.
I will keep an eye on this thread and see If I can find anything to help.
Love the game so far.
I think with the wall papers you have to click the "download full resolution" link in imgur.
Not sure I like these, I would really like to see one with the look of "panels" from the game. I am horrible with graphics. lol. I usually have to rely on the kindness of strangers for icons and whatnot.
Here is a good set of icons:
http://lady-tima.deviantart.com/art/Portal-v1-0-1-75896888?q=boost:popular portal icon&qo=8
I know its for the iphone, but it works.
I cant help but be inspired by this post also from Deviant Art
http://wistfulwriter.deviantart.com...e-192617498?q=boost:popular portal icon&qo=14
would love it to look like the Level Boards....
HEre is what ive been working on latley, decent but could be better.
Looking for a battery widget that looks like little bars like on the level boards on each level in portal.

I made an unlock, lock, and shutdown sound i like it! hope you do too.
I too would love to see a portal theme for my Thunderbolt! I am brand new to Android, and am not willing to root my phone, so any help on installing a theme for unrooted devices would be great (I do have Go Launcher as well as Launcher Pro and ADW). OR, any help on creating my own would do just as well. Will keep an eye on this.
I already downloaded the wallpapers and icons, will play with that for a bit. Will also try Simple Text and Minimilistic Text see what I can do.
+1 on this idea. I love the idea of a portal-esque theme for my samsung captivate.. might try to toy around with it myself a bit too.. Will report back once I actually get some progress..
I have been using this setup with a little modification as my lock screen for a while. I think you'll like it as a portal fan.

The background:
End of 2009, my personal smartphone era took off with one of the greatest devices I ever owned: I bought an HTC HD2,
which is known as the device which can be used with more OS platforms than any other (so far).
Sense 2.5 got even better when CHT (Cookiemonster´s Home Tab) came as an extension, and I started to theme the clock option.
After my HD2 fell to a stone floor and the screen broke into gazillions of tiny little pieces,
I had to move on, and after having been able to make extensive tests, I went for Android.
I actually don´t miss anything to set up my device to my taste - except for the clocks.
There are quite a few available in the web/market, but many of them come without a hand for the seconds,
not to mention missing display of the date and more.
The first step is made, I looked for a solution which is not eating too much battery,
and can be themed easily by an amateur like me. I again went for my favourite clocks from Lüm-Tec,
and with their official permission, their great clock design is now available for Android,
through using a special launcher called "Crazy Home" and its clock widget function!
Crazy Home actually reminds me strongly on CHT from its functionality (multiple home screens, easy to set up),
the free version includes some advertising. No big issue for me, and you can get the paid version without the advertising if that bothers you.
No advertising for that product from my side though, it´s just the (maybe temporary?) solution to get my clocks running on my phone.
The clocks have been tested on HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy S II, both of them running Android 2.3.4, and no issues discovered so far.

Some other members asked me to open a new thread for the new port,
so we can collect more opinions and maybe find a programmer who helps to make a widget -
not only for me, but for many other users and clock themers!
The M24 pack is released, stay tuned for my more "Crazy Home" clock packs!

welcome! you're stuff was great in WM; excited to have ya over in android. nicely done!

Well, my HD2 unfortunately was completely destroyed... (my bad), otherwise, I´d still use it. It was running WP7 Mango in the "final days..."
Anyway, I got 2 different phones now, both are nice. And I can test my simple stuff with both, too.
I hope Crazy Home (which seriously reminds me on CHT due to multiple home screens, easily switchable) and thus my clocks run nicely on HD2...
Soon to be released...

Nice idea and concept. I just love adw customization and larger widget availability too much.
Great work though.

Not compatible with ICS.
Really liking this.
Is there any way of hiding the status bar though?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Well, since I can change the number of screens, the only thing I think that would make this a perfect launcher for me is the ability to resize widgets and use custom dock icons.
i love this! im using the cloud theme
Very impressive!
I think I found a bug:
- go to Group Management
- long-tap last group (Times)
- select "move down"
- phone not responding anymore, have to reboot.
I'd prefer reordering here would be drag and drop, if possible.
Also, HiLocker keeps the phone awake, wasting battery.
I really love the hi lock screen, BUT:
It has massive battery drain, my phone can't get to sleep and when I look at the battery consumption, the lockscreen takes up like 20%. So I had no choice but to use another lockscreen.
