Seriously, I'm in love with it. I had originally planned to go to a tablet ui but it just doesn't feel right. At least on a 7in it doesn't.
- there's already enough room on home screens
- rather pull down notifications than tap from bottom
- don't like combined bar.
Anyone else feel this way or am I just wierd?

I don't mind it. This is the first android device I don't feel the need to mess with much.

Doesn't bother me at all. Its nice not having to look at a sense ui all the time

I love it. I did install Force Rotation from the Play store and it works perfectly, it just allows landscape mode and it looks like it was built in.
Really needs stock landscape mode.
I kept the stock ui after switching to tablet reason being I disabled the on screen buttons and hide the notification bar on my homescreen. Makes full use of the screen real estate.

can you link to this 'force rotation' app
thanks!
I like stock UI on this very much.. which is why i'm holding off on installing trusty ol' Nova launcher. i just dont have the need yet. (no landscape home screen doesnt bother me too much at this point)
tried the 160 dpi switch, but didn't care for the empty space at the bottom of the screen . seemed a little wasteful.. so switched back to stock 231dpi
I like it, especially now that the team eos ROM has support for toggles in the pull down notification bar. I also like that the home, back, and recent apps buttons are centered.

I love the stock UI and tablet UI would look stupid in such a small tablet. Also why not try something new instead of living in past. The portrait home screen do not bother me and I try to keep using it in portrait mode as much as I can because the tablet is so manageable in one hand in portrait mode. The notification drop down and everything is good with the UI however I don't like the look of app drawer just like other android tablets. They should come up with something nice. I don't use app drawer on my device and I keep apps that I use everyday in folders on one of my home screen.

The stock UI is great, and mostly bloat free. I don't feel the need to customize at all.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I have no complaints with it, and see no reason to look for an alternate launcher. This is my first Android tablet though, so haven't really seen what other launchers/roms have to offer.
So far I like it. I'm running CM9 on my phone and I like the AOSP look a lot.
I've only had mine for a day but so far I can't see any reason to change from stock.

You can be pissed all you wanna be. You don't like your status bar flash a theme and your done.
Fyi: that app dosnt actually change the status bar. It doers what alot of other launchers from the market can do and just hides the status bar. The only difference with this launcher it has its own status bar.

The only thing I liked about this launcher was the fade out/fade in animation when switching between the home screen and app list. I am not a fan of the layout and inability to have widgets.
After the last update, it actually does change the status bar to look like wp7. It gets updates every single day. That dev is really trying hard. And its just about fully customizeable, you can even add widgets! Pretty cool imho.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I dont man.. as much as I don't like wp7 I'm kind of digging this launcher.. its my daily driver now. I've always used laincher pro or golauncher and something about this keeps me using it. Don't knock it till you try it

How has this app gone completely unnoticed?
Kinda. I bought the 16gig with the case. I'm left handed and the case, as in most cases, is right handed. So I prefer to use it upside down. Only real difference is the camera is on the bottom. I rarely ever used it and when I do I can easily switch it around. Unfortunately I didn't see this FREE app and bought Ultimate Rotation.
It is also possible using some launchers. I believe Apex and or Nova allow it to auto rotate.

I can confirm Apex lets you.
If you long press on auto, it should allow you to rotate it freely.
From my understanding the stock launcher doesn't have rotation at all. I believe a modded stock launcher was created just for this.
Does this rotation all rotate the stock launcher?
I simply use Apex. The stock launcher is what was stuck in portrait mode.

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...
So I flashed the 4.2 factory image, haven't rooted yet.
I like,
The smaller icons in the dock bar
Slicker graphics / icons
The clock is cool
The notification system, left-side = notifications: right-side = quick settings.
Gmail is much improved.
Multiple user accounts is a good idea.
I dislike,
Chrome is slightly newer than the current version in the Play Store, 18.0.1025465 vs 18.0.1025464, but they made it perform worse Sunspider before 1500ms ~ now 1641 ms. It is also no smoother than before, and still is laggy on sites like The Verge.
I only got to play with mine for a few minutes during lunch but I love it minus the bounce back on the notification/quick settings pull downs. It's just odd and kind of irritating. I kept thinking it was going to close itself.
I really like the new lockscreen. The hour being bold with the minutes regular text is really nice IMO. The placement of the owner info and charging % is also nice. I think widgets are kind of meh but not complaining about anything new lol.
My battery is very bad since the update. Anyone else thinks like me?

Pretty sure you're missing the Sound Search widget, it was previously only available for users in America, more people may be able to access it now but some won't be able to based on where they live.
I'm not liking the new clock, the huge bold hour makes it look lopsided, guess I have some kind of symmetrical ocd!

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.

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
