Hi guys,
I just move in to MIUI and I like its features, like Toggles and Dialer, and some Apps, like MIUI Music.
But I REALLY miss my gingerbread launcher, with that 3D effect and everything.
I have a Nexus S, and I tried the gingerbread launcher available on the market, but none of them worked (I cannot open the drawer, maybe some lib missing).
Does anyone know how can I get that effect or that launcher in MIUI Rom? I dont like Iphone like launcher everytime.
Thanks guys
Have you tried LauncherPro or ADW, both free in the market and have the 3d settings for the drawer.
Both adw and launcher pro work perfect with miui. I'm using adw ex and miui on my desire right now.

Which program do you prefer? And what is a feature that you like about the 1 you chose? I have personally used Launcher Pro which came with Fresh ROM on my Evo but while I was browsing the market I noticed ADW Launcher and seen numerous themes.

ADW for me
I keep coming back to ADW. The single feature I love over Launcher Pro is the swipe action. Nudge up and Notification Bar hides or shows. Nudge down and the notification bar opens. In Launcher Pro you have to set up swipe areas in the dock, too specific for me.
Just my personal preference...
Put me in the launcher Pro group.
I like to run a clean screen and its scrolling dock combined with folder organizer allows me to access everything I want quickly without the screen clutter...
YMMV

I prefer ADW because of the horizontal page by page apps scrolling. If LP did this I would probably use it.
ADW - Swipe actions ftw
One more vote for LPP. Paid version is well worth it.
LP

Like the swype action of ADW. But I love the lp icons. Both are good

ADW lacks scrollable launcher bar.

launcher pro for me. somehow ADW app drawer seems to lag..
I started with ADW but moved to LP.
The smooth animations alone makes it a better choice for me.
I used too use ads but launcher pro is way better

Launcher Pro Plus. Between the Plus widgets and the Beautiful Widgets clock, I don't really miss anything from the Sense launcher.
I haven't really tried ADW, though.
I'm an ADW guy, the swipe actions are very handy. Also, the custom icon ability makes my home screen much cleaner.
Yeah, those are Launcher Pro icons, so I guess it's a bastardized ADW, oh well.
LauncherPro for me...I too love the scrollable dock. I don't like clutter
Noob question Im learning to use ADW coming off Launcher pro, how do you change the dock icons around or add new ones.
I started with LP then went to ADW when it was included in my ROM. Tried LP again because I love the scrollable dock but LP just seems to lag a bit on my phone. I don't know why
So anyways, ADW for me...........for now.
ADW for me. I like launcher pro but I've just grown accustomed to AdW more. Either way I don't think they're that much different to make a bad choice.
Is there a way we can use our HTC widgets while using Launcher pro?
Nope, as far as I know the HTC widgets are embedded into the Rosie launcher. They won't run without the launcher running.
Yeah I believe you need the stock launcher to use the widgets. But if I'm not mistaking, most of the widgets in Launcher Pro Plus are modeled after HTC Sense Widgets. I haven't used that launcher in a while so it may have changed.

Myn has seemed to have combined LP and the Sense widgets, but I'm not sure how he did it. He develops for the Evo, so I don't even know if it'd work with our device.
Thanks guys.. I thinks there's no way to get HTC widgets onto while using launcher pro, though there are many other alternatives.. Still, I luv launcher Pro..
Also do anyone know how to install non market apps without rooting?

Hello everyone
I wanted to try launcherpro and ADWLauncher on my sensation but I noticed that LP appdrawer was laggy when opening.
About adw, that was the scrolling in the appdrawer that was stuttering.
I had the Desire S and it was the same. Is it because of Sense ? Is there any way to fix that ?
Thanks

Hmm mine is opening really smooth and scrolling is too. I'm using ADWLauncher Ex, and set the app drawer to Vertical New. It's really nice that way, even on my gf's SE X10..
It must be a problem with Launcher Pro. It's very laggy on Galaxy S2 too.
Maybe it's because of 2.3.3 ?
Anyway, Go Launcher Ex and ADW Launcher EX are smooth on my Sensation while ADW Launcher (standard) and LP are laggy.
So I'll use Go Launcher
If you like stock android. The gingerbread launcher runs smooth on every phone I've tried it on.

Running launcher pro and it runs very smooth for me
running adw launcher ex, having few lags at times when sliding between screens. Otherwise app drawer smooth as butter.
edit: actually lag is only when using expose or pressing home to return to main screen.

Hello,
Same here with ADW, very laggy on my Sensation, was really smooth on my Nexus One...
So those with alternative launchers like LP pro, or ADW, can you end task the sense launcher? does that free up a lot more ram?
Same situation for me as well, ADW was super laggy when sliding between pages in drawer. Launcherpro was fine for me, golauncher is buttery smooth and I've been using it now as my daily launcher. Launcher 7 is also buttery smooth if anyone wonders.

could you please tell me if it is possible to have transparent text background for icons with golauncher? Thanks
I plan on installing an alternative launcher.
- Can you still use the cool Sense 3.0 widgets like Friendsstream, etc.?
- Is the dialing app still the htc-sense one with smart dialing?
Try GOlauncher. Quick, responsive and very customizable

No, you won't be able to use the Sense widgets. You might find launchers with Sense-like widgets, but the official ones are on the Sense UI only

I've tried digging through the settings for icons, the only available ones are options to hide the icon label. You may have just to try it out yourself, just to make sure.
Anyone else have a rooted phone but not a new rom and use a custom launcher?
I have tried most of them, but have narrowed it down to Zeam(which i use on my nook color) or Go launcher - what are your favorites? I like the theme options on Go.

What does a new ROM have to do with a custom launcher?
I use LauncherPro. I've heard positive things about GO and ADW.
Nothing specific just that I wanted to make it obvious I do not have a custom rom as sometimes that will change the basic home screen anyway.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Yeah the ROM will also have a custom launcher, but if you put another custom launcher, it will look the same as without the ROM. Doesn't matter if you're rooted, either.

LauncherPro has been the most stable and snappy for me.

i started using MXHome, it is a regular launcher for the most part with some really nice features. A full 3d home cover along with what MX is calling a "smart" appdrawer. It allows you to put your apps in alphabetical, sort by category and other options. I am currently using the glass theme and it is really nice. Check out this vid on YouTube to see some of it's features in action:

I like this look.
I prefer Go Launcher with the themes and app drawer transition effects and that it has running apps and recent apps tabs in the app drawer.
Using zeam launcher, very nice app and low memory use
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Using Zeam Launcher for low memory foot print, and has most of the functions Launcher Pro has.
Go Launcher is no doubt my favorite, nice simple features...everything seems to make sense....and that's after trying Zeam, Launcher Pro, SPB (another favorite but I get tired of the flashiness after a while), and adw is nice also.
Is it possible to flash a launcher to be the default launcher? (Looking at AOSP Laucher - (I'm looking to get a launcher of that style not necessarily that launcher)). I currently have that launcher but it is not "default" to me in a sense that it shows up as a task. If it is possible to flash a launcher, how may I do it?
I am more concerned about getting the style of bar on the bottom home screen so that I can also use it in landscape mode (Andromeda 3)
Thank-you for your patience and understanding, I'm a noob!
App adw launcher on market place should be able to do all that, it'll give you the option to make default.

You can flash a launcher, but you don't have to.
Launcher can be installed like any other app and set as default.
A launcher is installed just like any other APK not flashed. ADW EX is a great launcher. I personally prefer LauncherPro, there is a paid version and free version. For an easy way to switch between the launchers, you can download an app called Home Switcher which will allow you switch launchers from the app drawer. You can find it in the Market. Another great launcher would be GOLauncherEX which has a ton of skins and modifications.
Ahh thanks guys. I found a rom serendipity seven. It has my favorite launcher so I'm good to go!
Sincerely,
Your Noob.
