MIUI launcher for any ICS rom

http://bigota.d.miui.com/miuiapp/MiHome_095beta_100_1.apk
Includes the full theme manager and MIUI lock screen
Works great for me, though I think that I'll stick with nova.

This is awesome. The only thing I liked about miui was the launcher and themes. It does seem to lag but ill let it build up the cache and see how it goes, but its great for a beta.

very good. thanks.

Am I the only one who likes the stock UI?

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 don't really see any problems so far. Haven't had mine for more than 24 hours. But I'm looking for defects before I do anything major like rooting and installing custom Roms

This worked for me for lanscape mode in the stock unrooted launcher: Ultimate Rotation Control (can't post outside links yet)

I'm loving the stock ui! I'm also loving the fact you can install tablet AND phone apps. I've bought SwiftKey for the phone but not the tablet and I'm using the phone version on my Nexus right now and it's working great!

Your not alone, I love the stock JB interface.
I have custom launchers on my other devices, but am really liking the way JB looks and feels on the Nexus.

I'm with ya man. I'm loving this thing. If my prime was this smooth and stable I would be keeping it lol.

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.

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.

GEL vs Stock! (Also stock with transparency download)

Title sums it up, it's a poll between the KitKat launcher you find on most devices or the new fancy Google Now launcher on the N5.
You may think it's pointless but when you don't use the GEL for a while and keep with stock, you grow more fond of the stock launcher and really appreciate how nice it still looks (although it sucks that they didn't even enable the transparency with it).
So I did some searching, here you go. Put this in system/priv-app/ and you get the transparent stock launcher. Pulled from Moto G so you even get the nice wallpapers. (but you keep stock ones)
Also, please note that for the time being this will replace the current stock launcher. So please please please back up your launcher! (In case you want to go back to the ugly black bars, but to each their own )
Notice: you only need the .odex file if you're using stock ROM or another odexed ROM. If you don't know if yours is or isn't, download it anyway.

NOTICE: After doing some testingtons, I have to be the bearer of bad news. This does not work on ART. I don't know why, it's just stock launcher2 with Motorola's own modifications and then my 10 extra lines of code in arrays.xml. If you want ART performance on Dalvik, go check out the Motorola pulled (does this class as irony?) Dalvik modifications.

I love stock launcher. Period Totally agree with OP. It looks to me more "stable". Closer to perfection. I don't know you guys but i can't see 60fps while swiping in app drawer ong GEL . It's like around 40 or something

+1 for stock

4x4 makes all the app icons low quality, but I do like the transparent bars, and I linked the Moto X's launcher that has them (Will overwrite existing launcher, back it up)

I loved GEL launcher.
Love the transparency, loved the way to add widgets and wall. loved the "folder" background.
4.4.2 Stock on ART.

My biggest complaint with GEL is that the home screen is located on the far left side, with a swipe left for Google now. Feels like an iphone. I like my home screen in the center thank you.

I prefer GEL on my stock 4.4.2 ART version, I love transparents and Google Now integration

Stock with gel features would be cool. Transparency and the widgets being able to be accessed again from holding the home screen.

Since GEL I don't need alternative launchers anymore, same on other devices.

GEL is too buggy for me really

If you want transparency, try the Motp X launcher I linked. Back up current launcher in /system/priv-app/ and replace it with Moto launcher

Launcher3 from AOSP!

Does launcher3 have transparency enabled? I don't get why Google keeps using the old launcher for the N4.

No it doesn't, which is why I attached the Moto X's launcher replace the one in system/priv-app with it, reboot and you get transparent Launcher3.

It's just launcher3 compiled from Google sources. Stock its basically GEL without Google now.

OP updated, In regards to the Moto launcher I linked, I've now used the white Moto G one, but I added Nexus 4 wallpapers.

Your favorite Nova themes/icons

What are your favorite themes to pair with Lollipop? I'm having a hard time finding anything I'm really happy with. Currently using Velur.

I'm back and forth between Naxos Taz, varv, and Moonshine - but currently running Naxos Taz. One of my favorites ever.

Launchers?

Just got TabS2 today and wondering if most use the Touch whiz launcher or prefer others? I have Nova Launcher Pro on my LG 4 phone and love it but wondering if it better to stay with the Touch Whiz on the S2 or is it just personal preference?
Thanks
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

I use nova prime across all my devices. It's personal prefer but nova can be tweaked better in my opinion
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I'm also a Nova Prime devotee. Came from my old Nexus 7, took one look at Touchwiz and thought "no thanks" and NP was one of the first apps to go onto it. Absolutely no regrets or question at all, running beautifully.

using Google launcher cause I used to have nexus tablets...

Thanks for the input guys. Decide to use the Nova launcher I feel it best around.
