Hello guys,
So, I've been searching long enough to ask this: is there any extremely customizable launcher, besides WAD? Doesn't matter the difficulty.
I'm kinda tired of the row/column thing... want something more "honeycomb"
Any tips?
Thanks!
Try lightning launcher and total launcher.

Hi guys,
I've been playing around with the adw.launcher. its pretty cool and gives more customization than the default launcher. I also noticed the dockbar that comes with the adw.launcher. I was wondering whether there were any dockbar apps like that for the default launcher?
thanks.

It is not an app, the whole launcher had to be redesigned to have it.
If you want to try another launcher with a dock like this and highly configurable try Launcher Pro.
hey guys, i'm guessing this would be really simple, and as far i know it doesn't exist - I'm looking for something that basically just launches the default search widget (something that i could drop into the dock of adw launcher, launcher pro etc.). I'd do it myself but as I have the programming skill of a retarded rhinoceros, one of y'all is probably better suited. thanks
I was looking for something new and tried out a few Sense ROMs. I really like the Sense widgets and their little touches like the calendar and menus. However I had a lot of problems with these ROMs so I decided to go another route. I've been using Launcher Pro plus for a while, but development has slowed.
I tried Go launcher yesterday and am really liking it. If you haven't tried it in a while, it's come a long way. It has nicer widgets than Launcher pro and most of the features that launcher pro has like to eliminating the text on icons, transition effects, etc.
Themes are a little slim, but switching them is easy. The only thing that seems to lag on my phone is the homescreen preview, other than that as smooth as launcher pro.
I'd highly suggest adw ex. It doesn't have widgets but its the most stable launcher I have ever used.
Have checked it out for a while, thanks

Oddly enough the only launcher I've had problems with is ADW. I purchased LP a year ago and have to say its been very solid.
I love Go Launcher. I've used ADW and Launcher Pro during my Eris days, but once I tried Go, I never went back.
Go Launcher is running real nice for me. Turn up the fling speed in preferences to make it feel a little more snappy. It has some cool icon effects for the app drawer like cylinder and sphere.
n00b question.......does Go Launcher EX play nice with all Sense ROMs? I'd hate to jack-up my current setup to make it look prettier. Looking for a little info because Go Launcher Ex looks pretty sweet.

The layout you have to Sense will stay intact when another launcher is installed. So if you uninstalled a launcher because you want to go back, everything will be there. You just won't be able to get Sense widgets.
I keep trying Go from time to time, but I always end up uninstalling it. I find it highly annoying that I have to install every widget separately, but I understand this might be to make the base launcher lightweight.
I find it a bit laggy - and dont get me wrong, the screen transitions are like butter. However, there seems to be a delay from when I swipe to when the screen actually animates. I'm used to LP's instant reaction. Plus, I sometimes notice jerkiness with Go that I don't get with LP, but I'm just being picky. Finally I dislike the acceleration curve when swiping between screens. I feel it doesn't respond to how fast I'm swiping, at least when using a custom speed without elasticity (causes lag!).
Man I am picky about my launcher. Maybe I'm just spoiled! I did like Go's Widgets with the transparent theme though. Very well done.

Go Launcher is great!
i have a tf101 on ICS. I bought it from my friend. When he had it he had set up.screen transitions. he assigned the menu containing the transitions to a specific gesture so.he.wouldnt forget how to do it. Once I bought it.I formatted it and now I cant for the life of me figure out how to add page transitions. I tried googling it but still could not figure it out. Id appriciate it if somebody could.tell me how.to.do it.
sorry bout the english, my fingers are too big for my phone keyboard.
To set up custom screen transitions, try a non-stock launcher like Go Launcher, Apex or Nova.

All of them allow you to change the number of home screens, most have screen transitions.
My launcher if choice is Apex.
Greetings,
I've had a Samsung Infuse for 9 years now, and I've been using the "Android Phone 7" look. For those who don't know/remember, this was a highly customized "theme" hand-made by using Desktop Visualizer and Launcher Pro. The screens were divided by "panels" (1x4, 1x3, 2x4, 2x2, 4x1, etc.) and we made our own buttons using Photoshop.
Here are some threads discussing the old method of doing this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455
https://androidforums.com/threads/android-phone-7-theme.199936
I'm being forced to finally upgrade phones, so I went with a Galaxy s9+. I've been browsing custom themes, and no one seems to be using this style anymore. The Desktop Visualizer app hasn't been updated in years, and I'm not even sure if this would work with a modern Launcher like Nova. I know all of my images/buttons would have to be re-made with a much higher resolution, but that's no problem.
Does anyone have their phone set up like this? If so, how did you achieve it?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
You can achieve this by using Lightning Launcher. You can make the launcher scroll vertically, add your own tiles in, and you can make the side app drawer too. I've done it before but I use a more simple concept these days. I'm really surprised this launcher isn't more popular in the Android community since it's the most customizable one I've found. Everyone recommends Nova, which is basic and boring. You could probably also do it using KLWP and a vertically scrolling launcher. Once you learn to use Lightning or KLWP you can make pretty much anything you can dream up.

Thanks for the response. The original "Android Phone 7" theme is horizontal scrolling. Why do you suggest vertical?
Ah, my mistake. I thought you wanted to replicate the Windows Phone 7 launcher exactly.
