Thank you for UD Launcher

Can anyone post any screenshots/description?

woah thanks - you know I'll give it a go as soon as my stolen phones gets replaced

I really like this, it's basically the stock launcher with extra options for customization. I just wish I could change the number of home screens, then it would be pretty much perfect.

x2 on the # of screens. Also would like to change icon from browser to messages with stock froyo pic

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!

Does Apex Launcher indeed have a DOCK?

Just what the title says...
I'm loving Apex Launcher for the Xoom (I'm on Team EOS nightly Wi fi)....
And I see that its new feature is its "customizable dock"....but I can't find the option anywhere??
Any help? thanks alot!

In tablet mode it automatically disables the dock.

I use Nova on my phone, never used Apex. I'll have to check it out.
One big thing for me would be adw theme support. Does Apex support those?

Yea I don't understand y there is nova or apex with scrobbable dock like adw.

I'm using Apex Launcher (pro) on my xoom as well and I do have an option to enable the dock. Just go to the settings menu and scroll down and uncheck hide dock. The dock should be there.

with a tablet I don't use the dock now, I just use it as it is,

Dock works fine on my eos nightly. Just enable it in settings!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium HD app

Nova dock works on the Xoom fine. I don't use, but I checked it out. I do use it on my phone though.
Apex and Nova are basically mirrors of each other from what I have used of both of them. I prefer Nova basically because I bought the license so even though I like Apex, I stay with the Nova.

Well if you want your lockscreen in landscape, I believe you have to change the LCD density in the build.prop to give it "tablet ui" which will also make the launcher landscape. hope this answers your question!

I threw Nova on immediately for the rotating homescreen. Works wonderful! And super fast of course!

ADW updated!!!!

Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

I use GO EX, on my SGS3 and Pad 7.7, perfect :good:

We had to wait a long long time for getting an update.....
But at least it was worth the waiting.

Had to fix screen size and some other settings after new update. It was a pain, don't really notice anything new while running on stock ICS

After playing with it a bit I stuck with Apex. I think this is a bigger draw to HC and GB devices.

Was quite happy using adw ex launcher. There is a bug though. When u add a folder on the home screen, initially you could edit the folder to change the icon or rename the folder. It doesn't work anymore. Any idea people.

Double tap on icons/folders to get the edit/remove options.

No longer able to use the launcher actions along with minimalist text, I used this set up to switch between screens. Have emailed the dev and still waiting on an answer.

THIS. Been using Go Ex Launcher for several years on many different Android devices & it's been amazing, very customizable & easy to use.
After trying EVERY other launcher including paid ones, none come close to Go EX...
