[Q] Launchers

Can someone tell me what the best launcher is to use? And does anyone know if someone is working on making a Galaxy Tab launcher? Because that'd be amazing!

Honestly Launchers are like cars, what works for me may not work for you... Personally I use, and love, ADW EX. That being said people swear by Launcher Pro.

Zeam has been great for me.

I rather enjoy ADW myself. But I've got Zeam and LauncherPro that I use from time to time just for a change of pace.

I seem to be having trouble with shortccuts (adding) on launcherpro an dean,
I just get a quick black screen and then i'm dumped bcack to my main screen.
I do not have a crash. I uses autonooter to root my book.
Is it just a bad root and i should do it again from scratch?
Or is this a launcher/book issue?
Thanks

Still trying to find the Launcher that allows a scrollable bottom dock bar, and/or the option to change the visual effects when swiping through home screens.
Anyone know which one I'm looking for

LauncherPro does both of these excellently. I highly recommend trying it.

I'm using awd ex, and I'm very happy with it. Recommend it for everyone. Prefer it over LP (used both alot)

I personally prefer Zeam over ADW and launcher pro

ADW is the way to go. Always been happy with it...

I was using LauncherPro, then switched to ZEAM. However I recently revived an old OpenHome purchase for my old Behold 2. I dropped the Eris theme on to it and have not turned back. The bottom sliding drawer is a nice touch.

I hate the zeam app drawer. But it is the fastest one. I use adw ex
Nook Color via Xda App

I used to run Zeam, came pre-installed with one of the Auto-Nooter scripts or something, but recently switched to ADW. I use ADW EX on my Android phone and highly recommend like many otheres here (my girlfriend owns the Nook Color or would be running the EX version of it on the Nook too)
ADW EX ftw...

[Q] So... What launcher is "best"?

This is, I know, much a personal taste of choise... But I find LPP a bit laggy, adwEX lags etc. Can't understand why it would, but that's just how I feel.
However I like the app drawer speed with the LG-home - no lag whatsoever!
So...
What launcher do you use, and why?

Im using Launcher Pro right now but im trying Go Launcher (EX) and it's feels faster, but i'm missing the facebook widget the LPP offers

Launcher Pro Plus has always been one of my favorites. Clean, fast and functional.
Right now I was trying out the spb launcher and it looks crazily stunning

I'm fan of ADW EX, it has everything I want from a launcher app

I've used the lpp for some hours and the lag is somehow gone
going to check out go and spb too

Im using the LG Home, I really like the drawer. I used LauncherPro on my X10 mini pro, but I don't see a reason to switch atm.

I personally li LPP..... one because of the brilliant widgets it offers, the option to resize widgets, adding more rows to the screens and i love the 3d drawer

Looks impressive! However, there is no Android support yet. How did you get it to work? Thanks!

He's probably in the beta, which i signed up for as well, hope that i get in.
And on topic: I'm using the stock launcher because it works just fine for me, i don't see a need to change it yet

I'm using the launcher from se arc. speedy beautiful and a bit animated when moving or deleting stuff.

Using the Launcher Pro and I really like it, it's fast and clean and I havent noticed any lag whatsoever.

LPP, the LG home lags switching between homescreens.

Hi, everyone. I'm just trying to find out what minimal launcher there is out there. So far, the best example of this is probably slide screen but I would like even more minimal. I'm just wondering if anybody here knows of a very simple one page launcher with no dock or widget support but does have an organizable drawer?
Thanks.

ROFL! Yes I guess that meets the requirements.

I would suggest zeam launcher to you. Fast (well so far I've found it to be faster than launcher pro), minimal, and functional.

Or u can try launcher 7. It replicates windows mobile 7 interface

What launchers have you already tried?
EDIT: It looks like Dxtop might suit your needs. If not you could try using a launcher you like in combination with apps organizer to organize your apps.
I was going to post links but it looks like a need 8 posts to do that.

---

You could give the MIUI rom a shot if you can't find a launcher you like.
P.S. Did you see the edit in my last post?

---

Not being able to flash a new rom is a somewhat sad situation.
You could try using desktop visualizer to do some tweaking to your homescreen.

---

Yeah, that's what it is. If you find a launcher you like you could maybe use desktop visualizer and apps organizer to customize your screens to something you find sufficiently minimal... Just a thought.

Sweeter Home?
Still in beta and if I'm honest can be annoying to change to but you can have as much or as little as you like?

Try MyLauncer.
It's in the market.

I've seen V Launcher on the market. No widgets, just organize icons on your homescreen, kind of like iOs, I guess. I've never tried it since I love widgets & customization, but it looks like what you're looking for.

[Q] Launcher Question

Is there a launcher app that would allow a live wallpaper on your main screen, but a plain black screen on the rest? I'm generally happy with the Apex, but will experiment for this ability.

(Crickets chirping)
That's what I thought.

I think all launchers use 1 wallpaper native across all homescreens. Im not aware of any that allow otherwise as of yet. Sorry if this isn't much help to you.

It was just a wild thought, thanks.

Go Launcher has a plugin which will allow for multiple wallpapers. I'm not sure if any other launchers have this option.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Wallpaper Scrolling ?

Hello XDA - Developers.
I bought the HTC One M7 a week ago; Im satisfied so far. But I got one Problem.
When I got the mobile, the Stock Wallpaper was scrolling too when I scrolled to the next page (Sense, NOT the Appdrawer... just saying..)
and now the Wallpaper I set doesn't scrolls.
Any possibility to enable the wallpaper scrolling ? Or is it due to Sense 5 ?

Thank you for the quick response
I did.
But Im wondering why it was scrolling at the beginning... (when I got my phone with a stock wallpaper)
Have you had the same experiance ?

ok, maybe is trivial, but.. is the wallpaper large enough xD ?

of course...

Sense 5 doesn't have the ability to set a scrolling wallpaper. Only third party apps can help you here. In no circumstance can the sense launcher use a panoramic wallpaper. Might be possible to implement in a ROM though.

landscape wallpaper
I could not get landscape wallpaper app to work, nor could I get Wallpaper Wizardrii to work either, am I missing a setting within these apps?

Did you do both steps ?
Select image(s)
Start live wallpaper
Make sure to click on "Start live wallpaper"
It worked for me.
Or are you using a Launcher ? Asking because Im not sure whether this app works with an extern Launcher, such as Nova or Ex etc...
