Is anyone else a huge launcher 7 fan?
I love it and I want to share my experience with it.
The best thing about it thus far is the minimalistic look and the ability to colorize tiles with transparency.
Screenshots to come

I like launcher 7 for it's simplicity as well. I recently took advantage of the free sgs4g for my dad as a fathers day gift. I put launcher 7 on it to make it easy for him to access stuff without having to switch screens. Makes it easier for those who can't see the small icons on other launchers. but I would never turn in this phone for a windows phone.

Laucher 7 is great for quicklaunching things. Especially usign a phone while intoxicated. I recommend it with homeswitcher and maybe using the lightweight zedge for big widgets.
Im stil having trouble finding a contact launcher that fits into the launcher 7 scheme.
I'm liking it as well..over Bionic's rom.. super silky smooth scrolling and I enjoy changing the tile colors every few days which freshens it up.. currently mango. I'm sure you guys have done it but if you use the wp7 style status bar.. and transparency.. it adds to the effect. also I'm also using Fede's wp7 music player which works excellent and it flows great with the the wp7 launcher.

i also use his music app, its ridiculous, but where did you get the wp7 style status bar?
The status bar is an option within the app settings.
Can anyone recommend a good todo/task widget that displays decently in this beautiful launcher?
Also ex4 and laucher 7 mix WELL.

I have found taskos has a good interface on L7. Mix button displays next task. Nice!

I like Android but i hate the widgets and the Homescreen, i don't need them. So i like the apple surface. Is there a launcher/hack to show always the app surface/drawer/app depot? I use.the go launcher and if it's possible i will use it further more.
Thx a lot!!!

Why not just resize your homescreen grid to hold more apps and put all your apps on scrollable homescreens? With adw you can even make the dock disappear all together to make more room for app icons.

For.example the go launcher has a perfect app depot with recently used apps and running apps in tab style thats what i love and want.

Use ADW or LauncherPro and change settings so it won't close App Drawer when you open a new app.
Check if MIUI is available for your device, its does not have a app draw.

Lol then why not just take the fraction of a second d to open the app drawer? Lol doesn't take long. Or just place ur apps on the home screen

Just get a ducking iPhone. Who doesn't like Widgets? This post almost seems kind of trolly Polly if you ask me.
as said above .. Miui is pretty similar to iphone .. no Apps Drawer .. everything is on the main screen ... and its very fast ..

I suggest the same. also set number of home screens to (1). plus since you don't like the home screen, change the settings so that when you press the home button it pulls up your app drawer.

@fifarunnerr: Can you tell me the exactly option?
@kylec: LOL
@Mylenthes: Didn´t you read my first post? I like android, but i like the iphone appearance and the GoLauncher has additionally a super Tab-styled surface --> I have the Galaxy Tab with Android 2.3.3, The GoLauncher installed and now i want reduce it to the Drawer/App Depot
@Nexus 4G: The same like fifarunnerr. There isn´t a option except "Open/Close the App drawer" but i want only "Open the app drawer".
Thx a lot
Miui, if available

Dude seriously you are retarded if you have a large screen tab and can't figure this out with the multitude of options at your disposal. This is either a troll thread from a bored individual or you really are clueless. Even after members here give you seven different options you just keep on asking?

@OP- I'm not sure you really have an option... Even if u switched to miUI, u would have several homescreens instead of one app drawer. Your going to have to sacrifice. and yes the open/close app drawer is the option I were referring too. I've never seen a rom/preference to completely remove your home screens... Sry bredrin )-:

I've been using this, it keeps losing apps. It's better than nothing, but it's not as good as the MIUI Launcher.

I have lost an app when moving it to the trash can by mistake and tapping Cancel. Goto Settings, Applications and force stop it. Then restart vLauncher and the app should be back. I would like to see the developer pick this app up and do some updating.

I'm currently trying to decide if I want to install a launcher. I have launcher pro and not too fond of it. I'm looking at adwex now and I want to get peoples input on the two. Pro's and cons of each.
Have you tried go! Launcher? I'm using it with miui currently and it looks / works great. Similar customization to adw but I prefer go!

I like go! as well but it has one major flaw for me (well, not the app but rather the integration with Android when installing go! add ons like go! dialer). When you get a missed call, you can see the notification in the notifications bar. If you jump to it, it shows rom dialer / log and when you jump out, notification is gone. Normal behavior. But if you tap the phone shortcut in dock and it launches go! dialer by default, you see the dialer / log, but after jumping back notification is still there. Either go! dialer should display notifications in the notification bar so we could disable the android notifications, or the dialer app should remove the stock android notification once event was viewed. Same for go! message app. And go! notifications for dock shortcuts.
But anyhow, I would prefer if MIUI allowed app sorting on homescreen as part of it's launcher. And I do believe this is one of the most sought after features. I don't really like the way MIUI "reserves" blocks for each app and that you must move them to folders in order to sort and that the free spaces left on screen are not used up before adding the next app to the last active screen.
/end rant
I'm not using go dialer or sms. But I don't recall these issues when I did use them. Specifically sms, just turn off default sms notifications.

Widget Picker is an app that Romanbb exposed me to.
It is extremely small in size, but does wonder for Type A's like me.
Below is a video to demonstrate what I mean.
If you want it included in a ROM, let the developer know.
If you want to just download it and move to system/app like I did in the video (you see how easy it is)... you can go to THIS THREAD
Pretty cool little app eh?
Had this before, it is a very neat little app.
Don't really have any widgets that require this right now, but for those that do, this is a must.
Doesn't work with tw 4.5 though.
I love this app,I put it in every Rom I use. If you use apps like mClock, minimalistic text or any app that has various widget sizes this is a must have.
Awesome! So simple and easy install and really does it's job. Thanks!

I am willing to pay someone to make the digital rings clock from this to be able to work on the stock Touchwiz launcher. If so, I would want it to be fully functional as well.
I should mention that I've already tried the options in the Play Store but they don't have the same functionality, graphics, animations or notification integration Iike the official version.
Here is the link to the launcher and clock widget. Credit for the link goes to incubus26jc.

I installed this launcher and clock widget on Beans 14 and it worked like a charm. But the clock widget only works with the Motorola launcher.
That is my favorite clock widget ever but I hate the Razr launcher. Is this even possible? Let me know!

Will you pay me if I tell you to do a search on Google play store for "one more clock" and then select the chaos rings theme?
Never mind it is late and I just saw that you tried the alternatives in the Google store

Haha yeah dude I tried it. It looks decent but it doesn't have the same functionality or integration of notifications and stuff. Thanks though!

I doubt all the integration will work without the matching launcher. Its possible but its probably the same issue trying to get sense widgets to work on AOSP or Samsung phones. You need the Rosie launcher. I'm not a developer though so I could be wrong. I'm just going by my experience of what I've seen with custom UIs and accompanying widgets.
i dont think so it seems that it has a check built into it to check and make sure it is running on motorola's launcher i installed that pack of 4 apk on my gs3 and then tried putting it in nova launcher and a grey box with rings widget must be used in motorola launcher only.
And there are two alternatives that were close but neither one is quite right.
I'm sure its possible with the right work, taking code from the moto launcher and tweaking it to make it work inside of a touchwiz rom, though I'd think it'd have to built into the rom, and not into just a flashable file that'd work on every rom

Does zeam launcher wait for all apps to load like toichwiz does or does it open apps as and when they get loaded
@Arjav23 ADW lags(at least for me) and i don't find it attractive...As for the Zeam launcher i never used it so i'll let someone else answer you to that question If you want a fast launcher i suggest Launcher Pro,but if you want speed and a possibility to customize the interface i strongly recommend Go launcher EX (with Desktop visualizer is just mind-blowing)

On froyo go launcher lags quite a bit. On CM7 it doesn't as much. I remember back when Go launcher was just a launcher instead of a music player, gallery and all that other useless garbage. It seems the developers don't understand that phones come stock with a gallery, music player and video player.
Anyway, i am currently using Holo launcher HD on AOKP JB and it's quite good. I'm waiting for MiHome to get updated and for the lag issue to fix though because i really want to try MiHome since it has all the MIUI themes without having to use the MIUI ROM.

Go launcher also uses up quite a lot of memory and ram
Apex Launcher is the best
The new ADW launcher is amazingly fast and the animations look awesome!
fastest launchers nemus, launcherpro,adw in my opinion
The new adw is really too good
