he's looking for a launcher SWITCHER.. not a launcher.. tho I agree.. SPB is great.. I wish they'd port MORE of they're software over... like SPB wallet. I emailed them on it and the rep told me that wallet is being worked on but company policy prevents them from quoting dates. Good enough for me
/thread_hijack
for launcher switching I like to use homesmack ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.homesmack&feature=search_result ). It's free. I should disclaim that it's the only one i've ever used so I dont' know if there may be a better one.. but this one does what it says with a nice UI.
Home Switcher works quite well actually.
Thanks I try them both.

Yes, as they are running in the background.
If you have any widgets on either homescreen, those will be running as well.

Looks like you don't have to wait too long for SPB Wallet
son of a.... i JUST EMAILED THEM YESTERDAY?!?!?! .. she couldn't disclose 24 hours... i bought splash ID instead of waiting (cuz i thought i had a few months)..
for that... i'm pirating.
I jest. LOL. Great product... but really.. she couldn't say "wait a day"?!? ...
I like Home Manager personally. has some cool functions and lets you auto-kill the other launchers if they keep popping. has quick switch function from status bar too for switching launchers fast.

The lagginess of the app drawer scrolling. Maybe it's because I'm so used to LauncherPro but it just doesn't feel smooth. I really do like all the other aspects of Sense though.

I really don't like horizontal app drawers. I'd actually love a WP7 style list.
The one thing I don't like about Sense is the inability to remap the right button. I don't need the bloody personalize button there all the time.

At least that's possible with root. I can remap the right button to whatever I want. I don't think it's possible to have sense + horizontal app drawer, though, even with root.
I like the horizontal app drawer because unlike vertical app drawer, I don't over-scroll.
Agreed I really wished we could use launcherpros 3d app drawer. I like beautiful widgets but at the end its just not quite as elegant as HTC's sense widget.

Actually, there is a way to replace the app drawer, sorta by using another app.

There are a few threads about it. But I'm pretty sure its not possible.

I recommend go launcher ex over either of those. I never actually see anyone else recommend it though, but it's a drastic change from sense. It has a horizontal sliding app drawer and I never notice lag. You can do a vertical one as well if you like with it, though I dont see why. The only complaint I might have is the lack of built in widgets (it only has 2 right now), but they're adding more. However, I dont care about those anyways.

All he did was ask if it could be done and if others would be interested. He likes the stock look of Sense and probably being able to use Sense widgets, which cannot be done with ADW or LP. Calm down there big boy, take some deep breaths, everything will be ok.

I tried out all of the suggestions and decided to stick with Plume. Even though it doesn't show you the tweet entry box until you click on the widget's icon, it works out to be the same number of clicks (or I guess I should say "taps") as when you want to type in the text area of widgets that do show you the entry box. So, I like Plume's the best and, of the ones that I tried, I liked Android Pro Widget the least.

The lock screen is called MiLocker. And while I-launcher is paid, it is only 2 dollars. And thank you thcnme956, I like it when people share my videos. I also don't like apple, but I do have to say I love the beautiful UI they have. I was getting kinda board changing LP and ADW and I like to see a change on my phone so yeah. And while DX-home is free, it doesn't have the whole IOS look. Try Espiar Launcher, it is free, but you won't be able to do some of the things on iLuancher.
The latest version force closes every time I try the new change icon/app name feature. iLauncher now is far behind Espier Launcher in terms of stability and usability. I did pay for iLauncher to support the developer but the app is actually getting worse with every update.
Just install a miui rom ;-)
MIUI doesn't look like iOS to me and is available for selected phones only.

I'm not a big fan of iOS, just testing exotic launchers
iLauncher got updated and the icon/text edit fc bug is fixed. Now I see another "small" bug - from time to time the phone freezes and none of the keys can bring the home screen. Reboot is the only cure. This dev is hopeless. Seems like he is trying to do something but he doesn't know exactly how. Every update has a MAJOR issue that makes the entire app unusable.
And in the menu there is "Restore hidden apps" option, but no "Hide apps" option. Interesting.
Testing continues... just for fun. :laugh:
