[Q] Transparent app drawer?

Hi there,
I want my app draw to be transparent, like in the LiamStears mod - however I don't want any of the other extras (alternate icons, 5 columns, etc) that comes with it.
Is there any mod available that could just do this?
Thanks,
Alex

I did search... before I posted the thread. Searched again and have no idea what you're talking about :S do you mean metamorph or something?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious lol!

i'm in the same case
really hard to find something, still searching

In adw launcher there is an option to customize the background colour, you can change the opacity all the way down to make it transparent. I didn't see it in launcherpro but I might have missed it or it might be a launcherpro plus only feature.

Drat, I'm using a sense rom, and I'm not really keen on AWD Launcher/LauncherPro (and similar non-sense launchers).
Thanks anyway though mate !

MIUI.ADW Iphone Launcher for Galaxy note

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.

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 =)

This launcher is not worthed buying and needs a lot and I mean a lot of work.Nowdays there are at least five excellent launchers on the market, light weight and the loaded ones but all working smooth and bugless.It's not the Phoenix case.

Could you...

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.

One of the smoothest launchers - Lightning Launcher

I tried almost all available launchers, but none was smooth with demanding Live Wallpaper, until I tried this Lightning Launcher:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher&hl=en
Just for some delusional users this is SGS2 stock launcher with LWP:

Stock LG is rubbish, so this is an alternative (more than alternative for smooth UX):

well, the nicest and fastest launcher is Apex, imho.

Indeed, this launcher seems to be the smoothest I've ever tryed. What I don't like about it is that the dock icons are so ugly, and the icons seems a bit low quality.

There is much room to improve, but smoothness is top-notch. I hope it will break through beta stage soon :silly:

It is just fast like lightning for sure. Of course it is still beta and for me not my daily launcher still using nova but I am sure that next will improve and it needs work but yeah it is fast. If it becomes a full fledged launcher and is still that fast I will certainly use it all the time. And an idea app drawer also vertical scrolling please, thanks. Keep up the work. It is promising.

After been using this launcher for a while I have to admit, it sucks.
Don't know if the latest update fu**** it up, but the phone was useless. Extremely slow, couldn't answer phonecalls because it didn't respond. Keyboard was laggy etc..
Was great at the beginning...
(Next Launcher)

MIUI Launcher is surprisingly fast and smooth. Smoother than Apex/Nova but not as smooth as stock laucher.
It's a little iphone-ish with its lack of app drawer. But you can create an app drawer by creating a folder, place it on the dock and put all your apps in the folder.
The selection of available themes/icons is pretty nice.

p.s. sorry for sarcasm but stock is so bad...not even close to MIUI...and Lightning is fastest-smoothest.

I'm not joking. Nope. Nope.
Stock LG launcher is smoother than most 3rd party launchers I've tried (Apex, Nova, Go Launcher, ADW, Holo, Nemus etc.) They're all fine launchers and most have more customization options. But the animation in stock launcher is smoother and seems to have higher fps (if that is the right term). The other launchers seem more jittery, like it's skipping a few frames. MIUI Launcher is the only one I've tested that seems closest in terms of smoothness. If I've got time and can be arsed, I'll make a video.

You guys should give iLauncher a try. Perfect way copy of the iOS 6.

Do make video with live wallpaper and you´ll see what I saw, and sorry I was referring to MIUI not others. Stock is only nice without LWP, so your statement is only half true :angel:

I noted the Android System battery percentage rise from under 5% to nearly 14% with the use of this launcher for about an hour and playing around with it.
I am back to stock launcher now, and the Android system percentage has reduced to 11% in the past one hour or so.
Possibly ones it is out of beta, its battery requirement may also be optimized.

How can we take this seriously..? If ppl are telling you that.. for them.. the launcher is nice.. but if its not nice for u.. it can't be nice for them?
everything u say is "the word" ? noone should say what they feel? Noone should tell you that they are happy with a launcher, because u don't like it?
Stock launcher is great, im on Nova kauncher prime, apex launcher (bought), miui launcher, adw launcher ex and stock.. for me, with LWP.. its Nova and Apex thats the best choice.. this is "FOR ME",,

My post were sarcastic since I tried all of those launchers, and man some were ridiculous
And that what some user feel for launcher?!?! Man R U ok, I mean really?!?!
I don´t care if some people are attached to "launcher" LOL , I care about smooth user experience (lag when swipe pages on home-app screen should be considered as a serious flaw regarding UX).
BTW I tried final version of Next launcher and it is a lost case...and I will change this thread to Lightning Launcher.
Sorry if I hurt you feelings for the launcher LOL

I won't take you seriouse. Next time i want you to be more mature, and actually make a good statement before beeing a total douche.
I'm more than ok, you are the one who are on something, not me. I wonder how much crap u got on you'r phone if it lags when swiping. Mine dosn't, and i use an LWP .. So guess you just don't know how to use the power of O4X..
Anyway: Devs plz wake up, and remove the thread or atleast lock it up. Clearly the OP isn't beeing seriouse.

Errr...you mean MODS not DEVS LOL...BTW my claim is true, and you are not to be trusted, claiming stock launcher doesn´t lag with LWP while scrolling pages is what every owner of this great phone knows as a fact.
Power of O4X...well it´s placed in light heavy weight category at this time. On pair with Galaxy S2. Being delusional wont change reality so you are welcome not to visit this thread or opposite.
BTW I like LG 4X HD without being delusional :silly:

Thats 2 bad. Because mine dosn't lag. Wierd isn't it? I can't be trusted because im telling the truth? And there are few more telling the exact same as me.. wierd huh? srsly. get your stupid imature stuff out of here. There is no launcher that is "the best". The launcher that is best for us is the one we like ourself. Not something u are claming, wich is indeed false. Im on stock launcher, it works like charm! no lag, im on V10h. The launcher i will end up using might be Nova, it seems to be the best atm. Kids should stay home where they belong, go back to it, because every single sentence you have is childish.. infact, i'll stop. You are not worth my time.
Anyone using the phone: Nova, Stock or Apex is great. Been using it since release of the launchers. And they are still good, and does a great job on this phone 2.
