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

Now that ICS has come to the Xoom, has anyone tried installing Nova Launcher on it? Any issues to be aware of before trying it?
I really like it on my GNex and want to use it for both devices, if possible.

I think you're kinda wrong, at least for Nova. If you look in the settings for Nova, there are settings for a Dock. And when shown on other devices (Galaxy Nexus from what I've seen) there is a dock.
their is a dock just play round with it, will appear

I think what he meant was, that there was no dock on the xoom.

Can you be more descriptive? Have you gotten the dock to show on the Xoom?
Beta 13
Home screen transition animations => stack
Starts messing up the ability to use icons on the screen... clicking on icons makes the launcher think you are trying to turn pages...
"cube" works well...
Great launcher... looking forward to tablet specific and "pro" options...
Didn't work for me!!(nova)
I got it to work but it wants to push my wallpaper down about 1/4 of the screen
Try apex launcher....
Works awesome

I had a few minor problems with mine when I tried on cm9 it was like the apps became part of the background and would not move but I deleted and re installed without an issue. I prefer the stock cm9 just fine I only run it at 1.2 compared to the usual 1.5 its so smooth.

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

Like I said, Or something i've not configured correctly! Haha. Thanks for this I will try it out later
hello,
i am looking for a new launcher in replacement for the nook home. I have rooted stock and currently im using Zeam Launcher. I want a "somewhat ics resembling" type launcher. I used to have Apex Launcher but it lagged my nook down. I tried using trebutcher but I cannot place widgets for some reason.
Thank you

I've had good success with Nova Prime. Using paid version but free should work well. Works well on stock root and CM10.
+1. Only thing you might want is function assigned to long-press home, that isn't available with Nova...

I was wondering why my launcher was lagging at default settings. Well, I never could solve that, but I did check out Nova Prime. The lag is now gone. Thanks! :good:
Anyone know if you can make the middle (2nd) homepage with the apps on etc. a bit smaller than the default big ones on a 4x4 display.. My previous phone;s Galaxy S2 and Nexus all had a 5x4 display for the app icons and i really don't like the massive gaps between all the app icons.
Can't see anything in the options to do this...
Is it possible?
Thanks
no replies????
You will need to use a 3rd party launcher like Apex or Nova for that. Not possible on the stock launcher.
4x5 is option in Stock...
Not enough for Stock?.....

Yes 5 x 4 in the app pages but i am talking about the 2nd homepage where it is 4 x 4... why cant the home page be 5 x 4 also... seems to be the only bad bit of design i have found with the phone...

Cant use anything that involves rooting the phone as I use banking apps and they do not work when a phone is rooted.
OK, I see nova is an app.. I will look into it. Thanks

I use Nova and my phone is rooted and I use banking apps with no problem. What banking apps are giving you issues? See attached. for a screenshot on Nova.

I use UK Banks. LloydsTSB and Barclays banking apps and Barclays PingIT. I have only had my HTC for 4 days... dont know anything about rooting it yet.. Had a Gnex before and when i rooted that, none of the banking apps would work as they could see it had been rooted and considered it a security problem
Have Nova now and it is good, just a shame i lose the direct screen rotate widget/icon that the HTC One comes with but Nova does not recognise.. found that pretty useful and i find screen rotation very annoying when i dont want it to rotate but it does and it is at a slight angle!!
I guess UK Banks are more secure good thing. I use multiple banking apps to pay bills transfer funds, etc. never had any security issues. As for rooting, its a whole new world for your phone. Most important thing is to read,read. And read the developers instructions before attempting to root. You could brick your phone if your not careful. Glad you found Nova useful. Good luck if you decide to root your ONE. Remember read!!!!

Im not trying to place them on the home screen btw.

If it works for you that's cool.
There used to be downsides to using 3rd party launchers. I ran stock launchers predominantly on my phones till about 4.2 (was on N4 at the time). Nowadays, I feel as though if you can have endless customizability with zero performance or battery hit, with flawless stability why not?
