Hello Guys not sure if this has been spoken of before or not but since coming from the Galaxy S2 to the Note , I notice the the MIUI.ADW launcher (link from market below) which i was using full time on the SGS2 now seems to act very ugly on the note. All the icons are very very small on the note and i have tried pretty much all the settings to fix this on the launcher but nothing seems to work .
I also saw that on the market page for this launcher that a certain user was commenting that he has written to the developer but no response yet...
DO we have anyone on this blog who can perhaps help fixing this for ppl like me using this launcher on the note?
I have attached the image of how it is looking on the note right now
Market Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adw.launcher.miui&feature=search_result
..
Any help anybody??
Try changin the DPI or LCD resolution to 240
it shoud be all fine
u need to be rooted and u can use LSD changer app from market
however remeber that stock dailer and other apps may not look good , u might need to use an alternet from market for them
umm not rooting yet
Ummm,, not planning to root just as yet so i guess i have no other alternative to use this launcher then ,,,,,
If you haven't already done it, you could try another iPhone style launcher: Espier launcher.
qq layncher may b an alternative

umm yea did try it for a while ,, it think it has potential now that it supports theming as well me thinks....ok will give it a go once agan i guess,,.
it's just that i had gotten so used to using the ADW.MIUI launcher on my SGS2 that wud have loved to have it working on Note as well .....infact a note user has even written a comment on Google Play on the launcher's page to state that it is not fully working on the note ,,but so far no response from the developer....

Definitely you can change the size of icon... Go to setings/UIsettings/icon/ select new icons/ new icon setting/ adjust whatever size.

Good find been looking for this as well
I've been a LauncherPro user for many years now, and as such I've stuck with it on my Note. However, due to the "laggy" app-drawer opening animation, I've had to disable that completely (so that the drawer opens immediately).
I believe that pretty much ALL third-party launchers suffer from stuttering in some way or another. Does anyone actually know WHY this is the case on the Note? Its not ROM specific.
The alternative is to just use TouchWiz, which I am 100% keen on doing, except for ONE little problem. 90% of Android widgets are 4 columns wide, and there is no way to resize widgets with TouchWiz.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions? I get the feeling that most people stick with TouchWiz, so I'd love to know what you do about the 4 column limitation.
Moved To Q&A
Please Post all questions in the Q&A section
Sorry.

No problem
I have tried most of the available launchers. The one i am most happy with at the moment is spb shell 3d, its not cheap. But when in tablet mode, looks great on the note. The widgets really make use of the screen resolution.
The only issue is there is no ability to alter the row/column count. Which in tablet mode has a count of 8. Which is a little high for the screen size of the note.
I have emailed the Developers of spb shell 3d and they have told me a update will be available soon.
Just my opinion
Thanks. I wish there was a way to test SPB before buying.
Are you able to resize widgets with SPB?

Yeah, you can resize all the widgets. It is a shame there is no trial

I use go launcher as well and I experienced some lag in transition effect and opening app drawer..
what ROM/kernel are you using? or maybe it's because I use too many widgets?

There is, but not one that I could ever recommend
I admit I tried it and found it very wanting. I only did it for the trial, because the cost was so high. I am glad I did, as I found it very wanting on my device. Others seem faster to me.
I use ssLancher. It has a very different approach, and everything is customisable. I also use a separate app launcher and Folder Organiser, leaving me 'free' from the app organisation that most launchers pin on you. That allows me to play with more with less effort.
go launcher is good because you can use ICS theme.
But this stupid launcher removes ICS animation ! (returns Gingerbread stock)
I hope new update (4.0) will bring for us more then just a nice shell.

No matter what Kernel/ROM I use, every single launcher lags noticeably. I never had this problem with my previous phones (Atrix, Defy+, SGS2). And yes, I'm and advanced user so I know how to optimize the OS.
I just stuck to ADW EX, selecting the Fast interface and setting drawing cache to low quality. It lags but it's way less than Launcher Pro, GO and SS Launcher.
Hope this gets fixed on ICS.

ADW Launcher EX rly nice low on memory and alot of customizations possibilities.
Mmhhnnnnnn
I agree, I tried lots of launchers and IMO ADW EX is the best one!
It should be amazing one day to get anything equal to the Sense interface as Launcher (NO SPB Shell is not as good as Sense), don't you think so? I love it on HTC
Sent from my Galaxy Note with DarkyROM 3.3
I used to use Launcher Pro back in the day, but TBH, I consider it to be dead now; the developer hasn't made any changes to ver 0.8.6 for almost a year now... I think it's abandoned.
I use ADW EX, and it's pretty decent!
I found this beautyful and light weight ICS launcher called Phoenix Launcher,
here is the link to original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523216
Its still in early stages but on my s2 i updated to ICS and this launcher gives me same feeling on my OB So guys just try it once...
EDIT----
yup the developer has deleted the thread and its available officially on play store

If you want to test you can search on net to get it free, but if you like i suggest you should buy it to help developer for future development..

No bro scrolling is good if you put it in system/app folder, but yes if we use live wallpaper scrolling gets bit slow.. I'm switching between go launcher and this and find this one more smooth while scrolling, keep eye on updates they will be new update in some days with lots of improvements
Thanks for this Launcher =)

I'm sorry but on my s2 this has been the best launcher I've tried yet and i'm only using the free version. With the ability to make folders by draging one icon into another i'm an instant fan and I am going to buy the full version.
offcourse everybody has a different taste..
i agree that phoenix is not so good, i didn't like it at all.. it's pretty basic, nothing special and i didn't like the app drawer.
my favorites: launcher pro plus and nemus launcher.
go launcher is quite nice with many options but lacks in performance..
right now i'm trying ss launcher.

uploading takes me forever on my net connection. please bear, am uploading it one by one.
is it possible to give a little bit of information so i know the differences between the launchers?
btw.. great work!
last time.. i've been looking for a good launcher that lets me change icons.. not thru a specific pack but individualy. so i just can choose the icon thry quickpic or something like that.
wish i could see prada launcher 3 screenshots
Very interested in these launchers since I'm desperately searching for one right now... However, I wish there were screenshots of each launcher since I don't know some of them like Huawei and Launcher 2.0,etc
---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------
mmm Also I wanna see MotoBlur Launcher (ICS or Gingerbread)
(There is a thread with a Motoblur Launcher compatible w/ all phones.)
And Sense Launcher, which I think is impossible to get lool.

You should push launcher 2 into system/app and set access rights. You cannot install that apk. I'm currently using this launcher and I like it a lot - very fast, nice categories in drawer (you can create and manage by yourself). I'm really interested in some launchers (Huawei, Dell)...

Not sure about the rom, but I know you can use Nova Launcher to get a grid of that size.
