Hello all!
I just installed the Hello Bean Rom and its smooth and fun - sadly my Launcher Home Screen won't rotate. The other apps and such have no issues with rotations. Just the Launcher itself refuses to.
I assume this is th enormal behaviour.
Is there a way I can get it to rotate? Like a new Launcher?
Thanks in advance.

This is normah behavior, you must download another launcher if you need that to rotate.

Hey guys. Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've searched and google'd and couldnt find the answer. Could someone explain how to use this app?
I've seen docks with four icons with different apps linked to them, but im stuck with the three buttoms (apps, phone, personalize).
I want to change the dock and some icons but after watching some tutorials for this app the phone doesn't have some of the options in the tutorials.
Im on 2.2.1, S-OFF, and rooted.
Can someone teach me how to do this with this app? And if this app can't do that can someone direct me to one that can?
Thanks!! Sorry for being a noob
To have custom items in your dock use an other launcher then Sense. Something like ADW or launcher pro. Hope this helps

good launchers:
GO Launcher (EX) - my favorite so far
ADW Launcher (EX)
Launcher Pro
OpenHome
Panda Home
Launcher 7 - Windows Phone 7-styled, usable but not really similar to the real WP7 experience
if only go launcher had the ability to disable the dock and use adw icon themes, it would have been perfect.

Well, you could just leave all of the icons in the blank, the go launcher has an option for that.

Yeah, that would've been neat, but I'm sticking to Desktop VisualizeR right now where this wouldn't help either way.

Excellent. Gives the phone a new look at any time.

launcher pro+ and adw launcher ex both have the option to change the icons in the app drawer. Just download a .apk icon/theme file, try out ADWi2 theme.
I'm using Aokp beta 2.1 and if it is posible to make the notification bar pullable in full screen and how
Edit: If i use a diferent launcher than nova will that be posible?
What launcher are you using ? Nova Launcher ?

Yes, nova launcher updated from the market.
I think that it is only possible on miui, move to drZMIUI for that feature. Its ics as well and that feature is quite handy as I watch movies and videos a lot and it helps a lot.

Hi ! I am running nova launcher on ICS 4.03 Rocket ROM 1.5 . I have an issue with this launcher's wallpaper rendering. The wallpaper suddenly becomes zoomed in and pixallated on this launcher and the only remedy is to switch back to TW launcher and then comeback to nova launcher. Is there a permanent solution to this bug ? Thanks.

I haven't seen that on my Note. Could be the ROM. I'm using the leaked Chinese Rom repackaged for N7000 with Nova Launcher and it's rock solid.
I haven't got that problem either, and also using nova launcher with deodexed stock 4.0.3.. It really may be rom problem..

Hello guys,
I would like to find a lancher with the ICS style on my X8 that has the miniCM7 (so with Gingerbread).
I tried to download such launchers as Apex or Nova from the Play Store but it says that they are not compatible with the Xperia X8.
Can you suggest me any ICS launcher which is compatible with the X8 (and Gingerbread)?
Thank you in advance.
P.S. I already saw this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453440, but there a lot of launchers and I'd want any your suggest from what launcher I have to choose.

you cannot download any such thing from play store because it considers our device to be at 2.1. try downloading from third party source.
and they are called ICS launcher because they require ICS to run so you wont find any for GB roms
Use adw launcher
Latest one..

From what I can remember X8 custom ROMs use the xperia arcs fingerprint so its not about the play store thinking were at 2.1.
And OP if you bothered to read the description you would see you need android 4.0+ to run them.
Use Holo Launcher if you want an ICS themed launcher on GB.

use holo launcher..
search it 0n g00gle..
and if u want m0re.use h0l0 l0cker f0r jelly bean l0ck screen
Thank you, Holo Launcher works fine!
Now, if I want a ICS theme, how should I do?
I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18573172# but it seems to not work properly.. it gets me an error when I choose it from the Theme Chooser.

Make sure you downloaded MDPI version of the theme. And if any error appear just click 'apply anyway'.

The Holo apps are nice and work well, but are unfortunately battery hogs.
I still use Holo Launcher but I disabled Holo Locker because it was reducing battery life by 50%.
Just go to play store (need to be a rom with 2.3+) and download Holo Launcher or even Apex... I'd recommend you ADW uses less ram. It might work for you! Good luck!

The best way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306594 Maybe it not exacly ics launcher but it's fully bugfree, very fast and smooth.

That's a lot of steps and a lot of work.
The REAL best way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289009
Two steps:
1) Apply theme
2) Install Holo Launcher
That's it. In less than three minutes you have ICS on your GB ROM.
Wicked fast, smooth, bug-free, identical to ICS in almost every way. The only thing you don't get is the status bar and the ICS status bar wastes space anyway.
But holo is very laggy. It's really not much work, just change dock background and icons (if you've got ICS theme you don't have to).

Not for me. Try increasing the scrolling cache.
Also clear the data for Google Services Framework.
Holo with x8 is laggy, it's just non smooth. I've got clean rom with high oc and lp is much more smoother.
Are you listening?

Yeah, you already wrote that. Did you increase the size of your scrolling cache like I told you?
Go to Launcher Settings > Desktop Settings > Scrolling Cache. The higher the quality, the more memory it uses.
Do the same for Settings > Drawer Settings > Scrolling Cache.
If you have the cache set to "none" or "low quality" it will be laggy. Try "Normal Quality" or "High quality" until your lag goes away.
Any lag in an Android phone is always caused by either user misconfiguration or file corruption. A very common reason for a laggy phone is a corrupted mp3 on your SD Card. A bug in Android's Media scanner will keep scanning the file, slowing your phone. The lag will get worse the longer your phone is on since boot.
Yes, I can read, I can listen. I've changed those settings but it didn't help. I've done a little test:
I flashed litecm7 by fabe yesterday then I instaled only 4 or 5 apps so it almost clean. I'm using oxydo zcf 4 with 787mhz max oc on smartass h3.
So I installed 3 launchers:
- pre instaled (in this rom) launcher pro
- holo launcher (from market)
- adw launcher (from market)
All of those I've set exacly the same: 3 home screens, without translations anims, on center screen stock android clock and 4 shortcuts and on right screen power toggle widget. And I've tested smoothness.
My feelings:
- launcher pro - absolutly lag free, even with 3d app drawer
- adw - no lags in homescreens, almost no lags in appdrawer - even with fancy ics animation and transparent background
- holo - laggy!!! Yes I've changed settings but it didn't help! Appdrawer works smooth but homescreens are horrible, even with disabled shadow.
Hello all- I recently watched a review of this phone and the reviewer showed that it was not possible to add widgets to the home screen of this phone while using an alternate launcher such as Nova, Apex, etc...
Is this true ? I am just looking for verification before I consider getting one of these.
Cheers, LL13- :good: :good:
Not true. I used Nova Launcher Prime and i can add widgets as i please.
You may not be able to add lenovo widgets unless u are using VibeUI's launcher. But all other widgets are working fine.

OK, Thank You alexkit....
The guy in the video must have had an issue with his phone. He was using Nova launcher and every time he tried to add a widget to his home screen he got a force close.
One more question if you dont mind !! (actually 2 questions LOL)
How are the selection of themes ? Can you customize themes like using icons from in another theme, etc... ?
Cheers, LL13- :good: :good: :good:
As per FeyoMX @ http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/...n-esto-te-interesa.99919/page-28#post-1058348
You need to copy the launcher directory into /system/priv-app/
And reboot.
Try this

I've found that on some ROMs if you don't add a widget with the stock launcher at least once it won't allow you to add a widget with Nova, if nova doesn't allow you to add widget switch back to the stock launcher for a second and add one, then switch back, see if that sorts it!
