Hey guys ,is there any launcher like nova ,go ,tsf shell which i can install on my phone ? Because i can not install nova launcher .
I prefer Apex launcher but you need least Android 4.0.
and without root there's no other way to get 4.0 , i guess
Try KitKat launcher 4.4, it's better than the Google one.

If you're looking for a fast launcher, Zeam launcher's always nice

For sure, the new kitkat launcher is smooth , light and more efficient than previous 4.3 or less versions.

Yeah, you are right. Go to settings-->> about phone-->>
There you find info about your phone. Also some five letters name of firmware, for example: "XXJVT", "DDJUT" etc.
Find the CF-Root for the specified firmware and flash using Odin. Now, you have rooted your device and install the ROM you want.
It's amazing how android is powerful, even dead we always can resurrect the system

I think that it is difficult to find a launcher for android versions below 4.0. For the best like nova or apex you have to upgrade to CM9+.

I search everywhere but i don't find this launcher for my Nexus S, someone can link me (if exist)?

I think that's what your looking for. Works on gingerbread and up. Pretty sweet launcher...doesn't play well with many widgets though unless your on GB ROM I've noticed. Hope I could help.

Thanks for the link it's the lighter/faster/smoother launcher I ever tried(after launcher pro, apex, nova, holo, trebuchet, stock...)! It lacks number of options but I'll still keep it.
Thanks again

I use Solid explorer. You have this there: Devices: Internal/External/System. It is with JB that no more that way to enter in external sd I think.

I got back to ADW. I think it is the best launcher out there. No lag at all! I will try Holo HD later, but I love ADW!!!
Try the default launcher of Android 4.2, just install as any other .apk

Stock weather widget
I have a problem about a widget. I love the stock weather widget, but it works only with the stock launcher. I'd use NOVA or Apex, but I can't add this widget.
Anybody solution?
same situation when I use holo hd
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Hello everybody,
first of all i want to apologize for asking for it. But i definately can not do it myself.
I´m just looking for an .apk theme for stock Optimus UI which replaces the app drawer icon with the stock nexus style one,
cause i don´t like the default ones. That´s eveything i need, all the other desktop icons can be changed via Optimus UI launcher.
So if anyone has the same interest and likes to do something like this i would be more than happy.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers
Daniel
Nova launcher or apex launcher
There is an app in lg smart world by it you can download themes for the stock launcher , made by lg .
I don't remember the name maybe "theme box" or something like that

Are you rooted? If yes, just copy and replace original file via es file explorer or total commander to /system/app
If you're not rooted then you can't install it.

Yeah i know, but unless i am not rooted i can not use widget drawer to place widgets on homescreen. It will be possible when we get jelly update till end of march (i hope/want to believe). But i really favour stock launcher so i think about root and have a try with this custon biz theme.

Well, not entirely true, you can still use the Widget drawer, cept it's going to be the Gingerbread style one. But yes, in order to have a true stock ICS or JB experience I guess we have to wait till LG updates roll out.
If you don't wanna root. I sure don't. Not yet atleast.
I am on latest stock indian jellybean rom, unrooted. My Note has become extreeemely sluggish and it takes ages to open apps. For example, if I am listening to a song, and I try to tag it with shazam or sound hound, they take ages to open and by the time the song has already finished. Secondly, when my friends ask me to click a pic of theirs at any moment, it feels very bad that the camera takes ages to open.
I want to know, if I root the device, and use the greenify app to freeze unwanted system apps, can my phone become reasonably alright. Also if I want to root without flashing any kernal or roms, is it possible. PLease help !!!
I think you should smash you Galaxy Note.
I don't know what a "Kernal" is but if you want to stay stock why dont you just reset factory settings from the phone setting, it will be as good as it was when you bought it.

Install clean master from play store, clean excessive junk and try.

Sorry , but I think you should just flash it to AOSP roms . I experienced what you are currently having right now the sluggishness , it's all Samsung's part to blame , they ruined the Jelly Bean for the Note 1 , I can confirm that ICS was running way smoother than JB too!
Even tried Custom TW rom with JB , still the same laggyness , opening the Gallery app would take a long time compared to other roms. So my advice is to just ditch TouchWiz Jelly Bean for the note 1.
The answer to your problem is simple. Install sweet ROM version 10 with c.o.h kernel and greenify. Then install nova launcher if you want a butter smooth ui. My phone runs like lightning...has great battery life as well. Stock Samsung roms run like crap as they want you to buy a new phone.
Slim Bean 2.0 is your friend. Android 4.3.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
ICS is the only way to go for smoothness. I use 4.0.4 LRK
Sent from my GT-N7000
Use ics if you want stock experience as well as smoothness. Stock Jelly bean for note is total crap. And yes, use a different launcher if you want to preserve 100 mb RAM.

I went for P.A.C. running 4.3.1, and it's a world of a difference! Battery is great, performance is great, and has so many features that it's so much fun to customize.
I do prefer stock, but ICS has that scary bug that can brick your phone and JB for the Note is like a sewer. Thankfully my company is giving me a S4 Mini in the next few days...
The phone is easy enough to root - two files in the main int. memory directory if I remember correctly, and boot into the normal recovery mode to install them.
CM10.2 ran very well for me. Stable, better battery life, more responsive (for a two year old phone anyhow).
I'm currently on PAC as well because I like the extra options, but the cost of these new toys does seem to be minor stability issues, although that could be in part due to the number of memory intensive apps I tend to have running.

No. On the newer jb kernels the exploit has been plugged.

Custom roms based on tw will be able to run it, not CM or AOSP.

And can my note get better on stock rom with root and unwanted apps frozen with greenify, also now what is the best way to root without installing any custom kernel or rom?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk
Instead of freezing them, just uninstall using tb so will free some space in the system partition. Use the supersu.zip file to root. File can be found in many rooting tutorials in the forum.
So my S3 Mini gets quite sluggish sometimes and everything lags and I wanna ask if deleting the "dalvik-cache" (can't clear it through CWM) folder located in "data" speed up my device.

Install another ROM. Samsung's bloatware could be slowing down stuff pretty much. You can also try to uninstall the bloatware.

well.i've frozen all the bloatware with Freezer so I don't think that this is the problem. I'm sure that if we get KitKat, it will solve most issues

but i saw a carbon user complaining that touchwiz crashed on him, so i'll settle with CM for now Thanks for the sugestion though
I just thought about this issue and got scared a little - is there any way so that i can keep my home screen and app drawer layout (including hidden apps in app drawer) and all my installed apps on the same places as they are now, after I flash CM and TW Launcher ?
I know that google play will automatically download and install all my apps which i had before, but what about the TouchWiz icons layout?
