Can someone tell me what the best launcher is to use? And does anyone know if someone is working on making a Galaxy Tab launcher? Because that'd be amazing!

Honestly Launchers are like cars, what works for me may not work for you... Personally I use, and love, ADW EX. That being said people swear by Launcher Pro.
Zeam has been great for me.

I rather enjoy ADW myself. But I've got Zeam and LauncherPro that I use from time to time just for a change of pace.
I seem to be having trouble with shortccuts (adding) on launcherpro an dean,
I just get a quick black screen and then i'm dumped bcack to my main screen.
I do not have a crash. I uses autonooter to root my book.
Is it just a bad root and i should do it again from scratch?
Or is this a launcher/book issue?
Thanks

Still trying to find the Launcher that allows a scrollable bottom dock bar, and/or the option to change the visual effects when swiping through home screens.
Anyone know which one I'm looking for

LauncherPro does both of these excellently. I highly recommend trying it.

I'm using awd ex, and I'm very happy with it. Recommend it for everyone. Prefer it over LP (used both alot)

I personally prefer Zeam over ADW and launcher pro
ADW is the way to go. Always been happy with it...
I was using LauncherPro, then switched to ZEAM. However I recently revived an old OpenHome purchase for my old Behold 2. I dropped the Eris theme on to it and have not turned back. The bottom sliding drawer is a nice touch.
I hate the zeam app drawer. But it is the fastest one. I use adw ex
Nook Color via Xda App
I used to run Zeam, came pre-installed with one of the Auto-Nooter scripts or something, but recently switched to ADW. I use ADW EX on my Android phone and highly recommend like many otheres here (my girlfriend owns the Nook Color or would be running the EX version of it on the Nook too)
ADW EX ftw...
Is it possible to use the stock launcher on other tablets? Has anyone tried to pull/use it?

It has checks to make sure that you can't get it on other devices

I would imagine it's baked pretty deep into the customized version of Android Amazon uses too.

I did it with the old kindle fire launcher. I'll try it and let you know.

Did it actually function properly? Like... the different tabs/stores/etc? Even if its the old kindle fire launcher, its better than nothing. My mom got a Nexus 7 to replace her original Kindle Fire and she really misses the stock launcher
Could someone with a kindle fire hd pull the launcher apk
Stock KFHD Launcher
Here ya be, not sure why you'd want this train wreck tho! :laugh:
Anyone know if any third party launchers will work on the Fire HD 8.9? Like Nova, Apex, or Go...just wondering at this point. Haven't got mine yet!
many people use third party launchers.
the thing is that we got lost root after firmware update from amazon.

7.2.2 working with root 7"
7.2.2 now rooted using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1783
And so far, i have Go Launcher HD working great.
Chameleon, ADW and APEX not working yet, force closing, but may be something i've not configured correctly.
EVERY launcher I've tried so far worked, it's just important to make sure that there are no spaces in the filename when you put the file into the system folder I've noticed that by taking a close look at the launchers, which used to crash immediately, and got them working by removing the space in the filename.
I personally prefer using adw launcher 1.3.3.8.

Yes all launchers I downloaded from the play store so have worked. You just need to convert it to a system app. The short of it: move apk from /data/app/ folder to /system/app/ folder, then reboot

Has any one gotten beautiful widgets working right? I'm rooted and have the play store and nova launcher working. But every time I try to place a widget it just says Beautiful Widgets has closed. Widgets from other apps work just fine.

Working fine on kindle fire hd 7" 7.2.1 running beautiful widgets version 4.10.4 on nova launcher version 1.3.3

On my rooted KFHD 7 (7.2.3) using the widget picker found on this forum and Go Launcher Tablet edition, the standard beautiful widgets FC; the HD edition of BF do work but they don't scale nice, the 4*2 clock seems to need at least 3 rows and the whole width of the tablet.

I'm having the same exact problem. Let us know if you get it figured out - I'm working on it now as well. Thanks!
No progress on my part. I tried moving the APK to /system/apps and changing the permissions, but that didn't help at all.

I couldn't get it working so I tried out HD widgets which works quite nicely instead. Only catch is its not compatible with this device on the Play Store. I had to sideload it.

Hey guys,
i dont now if this is the right thread to post it.
i just got my kindle fire 10.2.4 version. I didn't root it and installe the adw ex launcher. It works perfect until i try to set up widgets. After i press "widgets" simply nothing happens. I tried the AppWidgetPicker apk. then i can see all my widgets. After i choose one it says "AppWidgetPicker" closed and nothing happens.
I read that is becaus you have to copy the widgetpicker apk to system->apps. If i try that, it says "copied" but if i look in the folder afterwards the apk. is not there. Is there any other solution? I just want the widgets on my adw screen.
Thank you!
You have to be rooted to put files in system/app/ folder.
