LP Sense UI

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.allomods.lpsense
This is launcherpro plus, but made by someone else. Don't really get how that is since lpp is paid app and this is free. anyway, the widgets are completely revamped to look just like sense. I actually think this is runs smoother then lpp. The Dock is just like sense as well and can be customized. Unlike using a custom dock, this dock gives highlighted buttons when pushed

yeah i linked it in my sense theme thread....u only get the widgets if you have the unlock code by having the paid version...otherwise just the launcher

The widgets actually work for me and I haven't purchased LPP yet. Weird.

That I'm pretty sure is a feature of the pro version so regardless of theme or modification its still warez. This version didn't require my activation code. That's a no go.

That's not the same thing, those are SKINS for Launcher Pro/Plus Widgets, I have BOTH of these Launchers, Launcher pro plus & LPP Sense UI <--- Thats the actual name of the app. see attached.

What do yall think about spb mobile shell 5 for android?

For those that don't know, its a 3d based home replacement app. I'm having mixed thoughts about it. First of all, its $15 on the market but is rather cheap compared to its windows mobile predecessor. I like its features but hate the scrolling. Swipe sensitivity is sub par imo. Its got some good elements to it and adds to the android experience with the widgets, carousel screen previews and editing features but also takes as way from the android experience by not allowing the user to place the items anywhere on the screen. And it doesn't scroll through the home screens like android. More like an imitation android os if there is one. What do yall think?

It's ok, it's defensibility a different home replacement but with 5.0 it doesn't have an app drawer which is a huge set back in my opinion, I don't like to have to set up folders.
If you don't like AOSP/Sense it might be for you, but I don't think it's worth it and I have had ever since beta was leaked, and the official copy before android market... And when it takes off it will be priced way to high just as it was on WinMo.

I'm still using the last beta before the release (i tested all of the beta releases), and it has an app drawer. I personally love the home replacement, and was considering purchasing, but if they took out the app drawer then i wouldn't fork over $15, no way no how.
Sent from my Thunderbolt using Tapatalk

Yeah there is no app drawer in the release I have its just your screens (weather calender, clock on the left side, then your screens on the right, no way to access an app drawer. When you set up the screen only option it gives you is recycle bin and the bottom row to do a temp store but no true app drawer

Craziness. Ill just wait for someone to kang a clone for 5 bucks and better features.

You sure? The one I tried a few weeks ago didn't have an app drawer... or if it did I didn't keep it long enough to find out.

Definitely has an app drawer. Definitely has an app drawer. I think its sweet. Lacks a few things but I'm sure it will get updated and improved on.

Lol. Well the current one from the market has an app drawer. And yes. The pirated version won't stay installed unless you are rooted and using adb and firewall app. I admit to using it for trial purposes but I haven't rooted yet so it got disabled. But yea I think it's current state just doesn't appeal to me so much yet. They also lack a configurations menu. I just hope fede can come with features that can measure up with this. If he does I think it will give some satisfaction to all of us whom will not be getting sense3.0 on our devices. Lol. I'm rooting for fede tho.

It looks glitzy but I wouldn't pay $15 for it. I wouldn't pay $5 for it.

I had to sign up for beta testing using a dozen emails before the devs sent one of them an invitation. The earlier releases did not have an app drawer, and when i sent a feature request for it, the dev who emailed me back asked me if it were necessary since the home screens can be customized.

Best Launcher?

Hey guys,
Be honest, which of these three launcher do you prefer and WHY?
1.) ADW.Launcher (not EX)
2.) LauncherPro (not plus)
3.) Go Launcher EX
Which one do you guys use and why?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Personally I like the stock Launcher2. You may find this thread helpful even though it's a bit dated: [Poll] New Launcher...

I have LPP, I think without the plus you just don't get the widgets??? (I don't use them anyway).
I tried ADW a while ago and I like LP, but I didn't find TOO much difference. I find LP to basically be stock but has more features (transitions, landscape). It's fast, and for me, like I said, I just keep it looking mostly like stock.

In adw you could resize Widgets while in launcher pro (free) you can't. That is sort of a big thing. In the other hand you don't get screen transitions in adw. Go launcher takes paid thing from both and makes it free. I try all of them but I find myself changing them constantly.
Which do you guys prefer?

But it really is personal preference. I personally love ADW (and love ADW EX even more which I bought to support the dev... the extra features are just a bonus). I find it much better and more intuitive than both the stock launcher in Android and Launcher Pro. I have never tried Go EX because I am perfectly happy with what I have. Certain options may be a must-have for some, while others will never use it (like I never use widget resizing).
I know many people who can't stand ADW and love Launcher Pro. There is no quantifiable proof saying one is better than the other that applies to everyone. It is like saying Sense is better than stock. For some it is, for some it isn't (I can't stand Sense, but my buddy misses it even though he loves CM7 more than his stock experience). The same goes for MIUI vs CM.
This is the beauty of Android. There isn't just one cookie cutter design that everyone has to learn to live with. You can try different things and make the decision for yourself (or constantly change if you can't make a decision).

None of the above...I prefer the lightness of Zeam!

Of course it's personal preference. A good example is that I don't care about resizing widgets. No widgets I use need to be resized. I, personally, don't prefer those kinds of widgets. But I can see how someone else might.

I would reword your reply (or original post) saying that you don't want people to JUST say it is personal preference. And that you are wondering the reasons why people prefer the launcher that they do.
The way you asked made it seem like you were looking for a definitive "best" launcher, which there isn't one launcher that will fill that for everyone.

Number 2 becuz its so customizable and it fits what i want
Sent from my Arc using XDA premium App

Now that i've finally tried it i can't believe i waited so long to install Launcher Pro. It really is so much better than the other Launchers i've used. Launcher Pro is to Launchers what Cyanogenmod is to ROMs.

In term of 'free' features, which has more. ..(not including go ex)
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

What I like in a launcher is speed going to all apps, back home, going to menu... I hate when it lags and redraws the icons or something.
I've been using go ex for a while and now I've changed to launcher pro and now I think I'll try Zeam (looks like the lighter).
In term of features I think ADW is the one with more options

GO launcher EX
Reasons:
1) allows you to create folders in you app drawer.
2) allows you to hide apps from the app drawer ( i think launcher pro does too)
3) you can do gestures on the home screen
4) scrollable dock with as many as 3 rows
5) you can have notifications on the dock

Change icon

Hi,
how do I change the icons in the menu? I want to put your icons there
thanks

I think it's at a folder called framework or something and then res/hdpi... You should use Root Explorer to do that because you need to access the internal memory of your device.
But I'm not sure, I'm not a themer. There are some tutorials here at XDA where you can find more information about that, with a lot of details. Some people have already made a few good jobs to teach us. I haven't tried those out yet due to my short free time but I'm sure that with a little search around the forums you can get all the infos you need to theme.
Good luck!

Have you tried a different launcher like ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro? They are customizable, there are themed supported. Take a look into that.

[Q] Anyone using Themer?

I just saw this newly developed app, Themer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer&hl=en
Is anyone using it? How does it work? I guess the easiest solution is just to install it. But the waiting list is so long. I want to know if this app can install a homescreen theme without purchasing the apps that the original designers used. Thanks.

Looks like you can do the same stuff with exposed framework
Sent on my Moto X

yeah. I am using it. waiting for more themes. I check it every couple of days to see if I like any of them.

I'm not 100% sure what will happen if you get a theme that used widgets you don't have. The themes that come preinstalled use Themer widgets that come with the launcher so they work out of the box on any phone. One of the widgets is very powerful like uccw.
Sent from my Moto X.

Well, the waiting period was shortened. With this code "MSTRCD" I was able to use Themer...after five minutes, I decided to uninstall it for such reasons as: 1, not really customizable after I applied a theme. For instance, I cannot resize a widget. 2, There is no simple way to switch a default app if I change my mind later.
Themer indeed can do multiple homescreens. But again, it is hard to Create anything new.
So far, the major downside of Buzz is it consumes more rams than Themer.
If you are interested in using it now, I got the code from here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/10/grab-this-themer-beta-invite-code-good-for-40000-uses-and-help-mycolorscreen-test-its-beefed-up-servers/

freeintruth said:
I guess I am just trying to see the main difference between Themer and Buzz launcher. With Buzz, for the widgets to work, which I do not already have, I need to download them. Some recent screens on mycolorscreen require Zooper Widget that costs $2...and Buzz cannot yet do the overlapping widgets. I wonder Themer can actually solve all of them together and remain to be free.
Oh, forgot to ask one more question: the biggest thing with Buzz, for me at least, is to be able to have multiple wallpapers. Can Themer do various homescreens in case I like three or four screens?
Thanks guys for the input.

I bet most people that build themes will use the included widgets and other built-in features. You can have as many pages you want and can have different wallpapers for each of them. Have a look at this video about how to theme with Themer...

I've had it for about a week and I like it. Like said above , it needs more themes but that will most likely not be a problem when it is out of beta. And to the post above it is actually still very customizable. More that the stock launcher but not as much as something like nova. I am impressed by it and can't wait to see what they bring in the future.

Got a free code for Themer: TJMUH7. Enjoy

I tried it, but concluded that Themer is basically for the less experienced and the lazy users. The biggest problem with it is that it requires you to set it as your default launcher, which means that you lose all the useful features of nova launcher or whatever custom launcher you had before. No matter how simple it is to switch themes, the launcher is too important to the overall android experience to replace it.
With that said, if you take the time, you can port whatever full theme you like from mycolorscreen.com using the appropriate apps and get proper theming without replacing your launcher. Personally, themes are not a big deal because I feel like I will get bored of it very quickly. So I just stick with changing the wallpaper once a week and call it day.

Its a pretty cool app that makes theming your phone really easy by just selecting the theme, downloading it, then apply. It's kind of like the MIUI theme app but I think that was for just lock screens. There was a couple really neat themes I liked, I just couldnt sacrifice all of my nova launcher settings for this launcher. Plus having quick access to my most frequently used apps on the desktop was a must.

Was but the themes sometimes are more restrictive than I would like

I agree. Why not make your own? There are some really nice features. The themer everything widget just like uccw but imo better implemented. You can easily, without another app, set different wallpapers for each page. I'm pretty optimistic that it will turn into a great launcher, possibly better than the competition.

They just removed this from the voting yesterday, maybe they are adding this in soon?
I ultimately stopped using themer for the time being due to lack of functionality with G+ and Hangouts. I really like the unread SMS and Email counter that you can add (like I did with my modified "Now" theme), but something similar should/could be added for G+, Hangouts and surely other things that people use (voice, skype, IRC...)
BTW, I have nothing to do with this app. I'm fighting my hardest to stay stock/unrooted with my Moto X and themer is pretty nice helper when I start to get bored.
