Launcher 2 apk that works with touchwiz

I've been searching for a stock launcher 2 apk that works with touchwiz but each one I find the dialer dosent work I guess the dialer is modified enough that it dosent recognize it as aosp. Does anyone have a working launcher 2 for us or could modify one. Im currently unrooted. Thanks

Correct. There are actually several GB launchers on the market. I use the one by Eugene because it is almost pure stock GB launcher. The other ones have modified app drawers and other things. The only mod I've seen in the Eugene version is the notifications icon in the options menu. It's a smiley face instead of a slightly square balloon.
There is also a Honeycomb launcher available.

Launchers?

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.

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.

Im using stock deodexed rooted with launcher pro

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

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.

[Q] Flashing a launcher?

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.

[Q] ADWLauncher with stock ICS drawer

Using a Xoom and I'm redoing my hubs layout and the only one that it works fully with and that I want to use is ADW. Now that being said I also like the stock app drawer. Now I guess my question is, is there anyway to use the stock app drawer with ADW even if it's only a shortcut.

You can make it look like it, but you wont have the tabs.

Haven't used ADW in absolutely ages (GO Launcher is by far the best IMO) but set the background to black and set the transition to 'stack' if it's available. GO Launcher has all of this and it has tabs which you can customise the look of. Just sayin'

Try Holo Luncher based on ADW sources

beautiful icon styler app - any icon pack on stock launcher

beautiful icon styler (find it on play store)
this app can use custom icon packs on a stock launcher...
i tried the free version with dcikonz icon pack and it worked (sort of) - it changed the icons on the desktop although i think you'll need the full version of the app for icons to change in the app drawer as well...
nevertheless - this is a good step up

that's why i stated that i don't know how things are considering full version and app drawer...
personally - i don't care about app drawer if the desktop looks fine (that's why i use nova launcher, not the stock one)

REMEMBER. This is for those that want to keep stock launcher. This doesn't replace your launcher like nova. So I want to keep my blinkfeed but have different icons this is what I need. And who cares about drawer icons lol. U spend the time on your home screen. Wow.
