Not sure if this has been shown or not, i just ran across it and its pretty cool. installs fine and only fc i noticed was if trying to make it default launcher, maybe someone can fig out a way to fix that. Anyways just fig id post it since i didnt c it on here yet. later, veritas
Wow, that was lagtastic for me. I also didnt appreciate how it arranged my apps in the drawer
really? that was my favorite part. when in the app drawer i hit menu>move i think, and it let me make a new group at the top and i put my 10-15 most used apps into to it so no more hunting. it wasnt launcher pro fast for me but i def didnt get any lag at all. I dont know maybe it will be a good starting point for something great. i just found the widgets for it and there kinda cool looking im mostly diggin on the notepad one, anyhows ill upload them just in case anyone wants em. later, veritas

edit: title should read poll, how did i mess that up? and now how do i fix it? mods?
edit: fixed, figured it out, im a newb to forums
i was poking around the evo forum for my friend and discovered miui. if you dont know it is a chinese rom that has been built for many snapdragon htc phones and translated into engrish.
it takes some of the better aspects of the iOS like the visually apealing menu skins and layouts and the thumbnail folder icons, has a dock much like iOS with drag and drop icons and no app drawer that can hold 5 apps.
apparently also has a secondary launcher that can come from the top of the screen presumably when you hit the home button that is like a standard android launcher.
has a unique app drawer that slides halfway down and tumbnails of the home screen pages pop up so you can move multiple apps to multiple screens without the drawer auto closing and a need to reopen for each app.
^this drawer is for widgets there is no app drawer, that can be fixed by putting apps in a folder and putting the folder on the launcher like an iphone.
it still has the android pull down notification bar and apparently has a scolling dock with toggles as well
i would love to see a port and some themes to go along with it. or a launcher/home app with some features borrowed.

some of the theming is a little odd and im alittle unsure if the screen space is enough for some of the features to be practical but it is interesting none the less.
also they have a browser that is apparently not with the rom that is said to be good.

I played with this rom on the Nexus, it's fantastic, extremely smooth, better battery then cyanogen, very nice overall feel.
I'd love to have this ported over to our galaxys
i love miui. i have i on my n1. my friend has a cappy, he would love to see it on the cappy. i was thinking about making a [idea] post in the dev forum. see if anyone has thought about it. i figure when froyo comes out for the cappy that there may be a port. i wish i knew how to dev for android.

i think the i-9000 guys are working it. i cant code, or dev. i dont like to make requests that i cant contribute to. i was just hoping if people see this then some of our devs might jump in. i think the great aosp work being done will help pave a road for this. but we dont even have a working true aosp rom yet. although designgears did get many aosp apps working in his dev rom.
if we could get some of the features even if we needed a samsung dialer and other apps a hybrid rom would be cool. the widget tray is a great idea. although i like the android app drawer, especially the galaxy s scrolling alphebetical list implementation (i can scan a column pretty good, i cant scan a page very good), this rom has features that i think would be great.
I want it ..
I want. Please.
First time I've been impressed by a launcher other than adw or launcher pro.
Very cool app drawer that you long hold to edit all the items in. You can then click the little x's to uninstall appear or move them around to your liking. There is a recent tab in the appear list. As well as a running tab with a kill all button and a kill each app manager.
It scrolls and transitions as smoothly as launcher pro. The desktop has a lot of neat features too. This is one you guys really need to try out. I dunno if it started as an adw knockoff because of the similar look or not. But it is really stable and really unique now.
Needs widget residing and scrollable widget support. But once it gets that it will definitely be the best on the market. And it has already taken over as the default on my phone.
Imma definitely be recommending it to friends and maybe do a writeup on evobenchers
Grab it on the market. Looks like they also male a pretty sweet sms apply that I'm trying out. All their file sizes are so small I love the low memory footprint of the launcher and the sms app. Keepers
defly a good look!! it's like a mashup of ADW, LauncherPro, and MIUIish, and add a little TouchWiz... I like! Very fast and ingenious
That launcher is slick! Thanks for the find!
Yea it does incorporate a lot of good ideas from them all. I hope launcher pro doesn't try to shut them down or anything since they are a payapp

Np dude. I figured if I just found it today then a lot of people didn't know about it. After all it must have been only a week ago I searched for "launcher" on the market to try out all the knew ones and didn't see this one for some reason. Maybe it is that new, I dunno.
Definitelyhad to spread the word though.
I realize that there is already an app like this on the market called "Smart Taskbar", and its a good app. I just dont like the UI, and it seems really cluttered. So i was wondering if a developer could rip the side app-docks from pandahome and turn them into an app. The pandahome side docks, are smooth, simple and elegant. i attached some screenshots of what they look like closed and opened. you can have up to 3 seperate docks on each side of the screen, and they are scrollable so you can put unlimited apps in each one. they are accessible from any homescreen (not a widget or shortcut, nor do they impede widget or shortcut place as they are not part of the homescreen layout).
i know the coding would be tough, but damn they are sexy.
PS - hate pandahome, but i love this feature....just in case anyone wants to say "just use pandahome, then".....its buggy as hell
Anyone, just me i guess?
bump againnnnn...ive wanted this for so long
Have you heard of the new SwipePad app? It only has one screen for shortcuts, but the upside is it can be activated from ANY app you have open. It's still in beta, and was put on the Market less than a month ago so it's still in the very early stages. Later they may implement more screens.

i just downloaded it and i actually really like it. thanks for the suggestion
as far as my request goes though, it still stands. ever since i stumbled across pandahome ive been in love with those appdocks. just the way they look and function.

To all you amazing dev's: Anyone interested in porting this to us? i think this launcher looks fantastic. Take a look at that vid, and here are the posts with files for it.

edit: looks lke i was wrong its not VEGA, its PoV Mobii . I still think its really neat.
I think gojimi* already ported this in the themes n apps section.
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/downloads/
look on that page for 3d launcher v 1.0
hmmm, i'll have to look deeper.
As a side note, I pulled the zip from http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com/329946/3d-desktop-plugin/#entry1567646 (backed up) and ran the bat after ADB found the device. it works like a champ. not customizable, but neat looking. It's worth a few moments as a diversion, but VTL.Launcher is still my fave
I guess i'm still looking for new and creative ways to brick my device. It didn't work this time, I'll have to try harder.
I assume this probably won't work on TNT then?
i dont see why not, it seems like another launcher.
Cool launcher but I would like to be able to change the apps on the dock. Until then. Back to VTL.
Its a very cool interface. Just seams like a demo though. Really like how it feels like a tablet interface should. Just wish you could change out links on the bottom bar. This is good progress for the future of tablets though. I really love vtl lately it will be my daily as soon as gingerbread gets hardware exceleration. Till then I'm sticking with beta 5.1.1 and launcher pro.
Is there a thread for this launcher in the themes and apps section? Did a search but I couldn't find it.

Yeah, I had to search to find it. I installed it last night using CM7, and it works fine.

hey people. I just made this thread to let you all know about buzz launcher which I accidentally found on market and I think is brilliant. Basically it lets you upload your homescreen so that other people can directly download it and transform their phone like yours and of course you can also download other people's homescreens as well. Everything is included even the widgets they use and icon packs and all, as direct links to the market apps either from the download homescreen section or directly from the downloaded homescreen by pressing on the faint (non downloaded) widgets and being directed to the market for dl. Anyway give it a try and let me know. Will upload some homescreens when I am home. It is amazing what you can do with a couple of clicks...
i've seen this launcher and it's pretty interesting, some say it lags but im guessing it depends on the type of phone you have....
I may try it out myself later
nice find. more of a homescreen sharing app than a launcher, it really rocks. And the buzz widget is really flexible. You can almost make anything you want out of it be it clock,weather widget or many other thing and any combo...
