I use SPB Shell as my home replacement. My problem is I cant set the stock home app as default. When I hit the home button it always goes to SPB Shell even when I have the stock home app set to default and have cleared SPB Shell as the default. I use the Home switcher app from the market and set the stock app as the default. When I clear the default on SPB Shell and hit the home button the stock home app doesnt even show up as an option. Is anyone else having this issue and does any one know of a fix?
The same thing happened for me with launcherpro to go back to stock i had to uninstall LP. I actually like the stock launcher better for the first time ever than LP.
It may be just me, but my screen looks much more vibrant when using SPB Shell. The colors actually look sharper. I have shown it to others and they think the same also.

Did you just abandon Launcher Pro all together or did you figure out a way to fix it?
What about the home switcher app in the market.

What I don't get is why install a home replacement of you don't intend on replacing the home?

First off for what SPB Shell 3D costs of course I'm going to install it, for principal if nothing else. I do however really like it. Secondly I want the option and ability to switch between home replacements if I want to.
has anyone using other launchers like launcher pro go launcher or adw, tried to freeze the stock launcher. i know that most roms come with a market launcher already loaded and therefore there is no stock launcher.
So any ideas if running a market launcher, that freezing the stock launcher would be ok or not
any ideas
There is an app called Homesmack that fixes the issue with the launcher defaults.

I tried it but it still didnt work, but I do like the app better than the home switcher app I was using so I'm gonna keep it. Thanks for the heads up.

Noo, it's not just you. I took the plunge and bought it. It is MUCH smoother, faster in general (IMO), and the colors look GREAT
Glad im not the only one on here to think so.

does anyone know of a standalone 3d app drawer? I dont need any of the launcherpro or awd or helix launcher features at this point

Maybe this is what you want. (I think it had a 3d app drawer).

it's force closing on my evo...I think it's for eclair too, i'm running froyo. thanks though
Maybe you should check the Evo forums? I was assuming this was for a 2.1 Captivate.
now you're just overstating the obvious... i've searched through evo forums, all xda-dev. forums and google. I didnt just randomly land in the captivate thread...
I found the working version of the Launcher2.apk you recommended - it does exactly what I dont want - its just another launcher with home screen, 3d app drawer is just one of the things it does (not very well, too). I'm looking for a standalone 3d app drawer, not a launcher with its own home screen. You know, like any other app it would install an icon in programs list and with single click bring up the 3D app drawer, allowing to launch that same program list in fly-in effect 3D wheel
I do not believe there is a standalone application for just the app drawer, you'd have to replace the entire launcher.
So im new to the nook and zeam. Not new to rooting or android.......but seeing how i love and use sense ui on my Evo i do have a few questions.
I don't know if these are zeam launcher related or just a bi product of the rooted nook but i cannot get any picture frame widget to work.
When i go to add item>widget>select either the stock picture frame or any of the market downloaded ones>takes me to the gallary to select a photo...after i crop that's it...it doesn't add or anything...
And also
When i longpress home screen in zeam and select add item/shortcut it just reloads the homescreen....i have to open the app drawer and longpress the app shortcut i want to place in the homescreen.
Do i need to uninstalll/reinstall?
Thanks for any and all help!

i think you may be right....i really prefer zeam over ADW and Launcher Pro, so i guess if that is the issue, i wont even bother a switch and just deal with it.
Yeah...just to check I tried it on mine (running LaunPro) and it didn't work for me either.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
That's the way you add things to the home screens with Zeam. If I recall that's also the way you add things to the home screen in Launcher Pro on the NC too.
Thanks guys for the help....
Anyone have any idea on the picture frame Widgets?
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

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!
Im wondering what's the best launcher for the one, im using go launcher but honestly I'm getting bored of it can someone tell me which one is better

The stock sense launcher is great and thats what I use!
I recently found action launcher which I really like. It's very functional and more minimalistic than most other launchers. If that's what your in to. There is a free version. Give it a try.

I stick to Sense. I don't know what it is, but every time I try and switch off of it, I always end up coming back. Even though they change it with every new flagship, I still stick with it. I've used Aviate, and while it's nice, it's just not for me.
I'm on sense right now, using xposed framework and sense 5 toolbox to get a 4.5 home screen. However, I also frequent nova launcher. It just depends on my mood, and I have them both installed pretty much all the time.
I like Trebuchet from AOSP

I visit in Asia most the user use HTC Mobile phone because it has been too many feature that you can use. After Nokia Lumia and I phone big brand that are using.
I use Themer. Wish it had a better drawer, but, I change up my themes so often its still the best option for me.
I use Nova Launcher Prime on all of my Android devices. Just find it to be fast and customizable to my likings
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
I like Go Launcher for its customization but I really love Nova Launcher. Love it so much I purchased prime. Its really fast and has a fair amount of customization. It also never crashes or gives me any problems. It's nice that a lot of the icon packs work on it as well.
Try Aviate. Pm me with your email I have 1 left

SS Launcher Paid version
I stumbled on SS launcher a couple of years ago when I still had the "EVO 4G". I have not looked back since, it is more flexible than any other I've tried. And I always get comments on it.
Check out Lightning Launcher on the play store.
Google Experience Launcher

Big +1 for Action Launcher. It has a free trial(!) now, even, so there really isn't an excuse to at least give it a whack. It's not perfect for everyone, but if it you can handle its paradigm it works really well. Aviate's also good, but the inability to hide apps (among other things) really killed it for me.
Agreed

I personally use Nova Launcher Prime also, it's never let me down. An customization for the drawer and home screen is cool. Being able to pull app info and uninstall on the home screen is a huge helper at times.
I like Nova as well

If it works for you that's cool.
There used to be downsides to using 3rd party launchers. I ran stock launchers predominantly on my phones till about 4.2 (was on N4 at the time). Nowadays, I feel as though if you can have endless customizability with zero performance or battery hit, with flawless stability why not?
