MIUI doesn't have the app drawer does it?
Presumably, once you get Play installed on the device...can you install Google Now and Launcher? Does that then provide app drawer??

DAMN I want this phone now!!!! (and the hunt is on!)
Excuse my ignorance on what Google Launcher provides, but if you do use it, does it provide a largely stock experience instead of MIUI?

i was using emui (which is quite similar to miui) with apex launcher. it delivers a bit stock feeling for homescreen and app drawer, but not for settings or notification bar. but for me, it was a quite good compromise and i would do this on miui too, if i get one.
I installed Google Launcher and I'm using it. You have to do a small workaround to activate it, but it's pretty easy.
Here you have it: http://en.miui.com/thread-87810-1-1.html
However, I'm not satisfied with only the Launcher, coming from 6 years of Nexus. I am eager of someone porting the stock Android to Mi5 ASAP. I thought that MIUI improved things, but hell, everything I find is drawbacks. :S
In your experience is there any better launcher than Google Now Launcher (performance wise) ?

I tried google now launcher and it was very smooth. As I said I have settled on buzz launcher as i think it's better.

I keep getting a news feeds on top of each other when I use it with ADW EX launcher.
I got a response from the developer. This app does not support alternative launchers like ADW (yet?)
Its working great for me with the stock launcher.

If I had to guess, if you are using it on a 2.x device like a phone you need ADW or launcher pro. On a 3.0 device you need to use the stock launcher.

Yes it solved my problem. Works great now. Still a small bug when adjusting the settings of an existing widget but not a show stopper. I must say, I emailed the developer about the problem and was amazed at how fast he got back to me and fixed the issue.
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!!!!

Hello, what launcher I offered to go very well on mini s3? So far we have used Next launcher consumes a lot of resources and I gave it up!
So what I offer?
There are so many Launchers, I think you'll simply have to try one or another.
I'm using Apex since my X10i-days. Meanwhile I bought it, my Impression is that Apex doesn't consume too many resources.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm still learning...

Oh, I forgot: I also tried GO!-Launcher but it was not to my satisfaction, that was 'too much' for me, simply overloaded.
Nova launcher is great if u want to get "stock" android experience, launcher8 if u like windows phone look, GO launcher if u want to get lots of functions.. But I like touchwiz or nova launcher the best

I'm in the same situation as you were, looking for the same solution as you did. I know it has been a long time since your last post but have you managed to find the launcher you were looking for? What is your launcher recommendation instead of touchwiz?

I've been using NOVA launcher prime for a very long time now and I would definitely recommend it, its very fast and you can customise a lot of things to make it perfect for your needs
Nova Launcher before its material desing update. You can fine it in apk mirror. its the last apk in the last page

Meanwhile, I've tried Nova Launcher but there is one problem with it: as an email app, I'm using the stock email application, SecEmail.apk. The problem is that the badge count isn't working in Nova Launcher for SecEmail.apk and I don't want to change the email app. If someone could find a fix for it, I'll gladly change the launcher.

I don't follow: what material design update? Do you refer to the 3.3 version?
Yes, that version of Nova Launcher. Works more fluid on my old Xperia L than the actual version.
Hey people!
It's possible to have CM12 newest launcher on Lollipop Stock ROM? And if yes, how can i have it? Google Now Launcher is very laggy on XT1068 and i think this maybe consolidate the RAM usage imo. Well, thanks!

Trebuchet is pretty bad in my opinion, at least on my device it keeps lagging like GNL, and doesn't have so much customization, better stay with Nova.

What you are looking for is to download this from the playstore: CM Apps, then select Trebuchet.

I was using the cm rom for our device some weeks ago and besides all the bugs and stuff, that launcher is great. No stuttering and stuff we see on GNL.
