I'm losing interest in my phone... anyone got ideas for cool new launcher or something to spark love back with my g2x
I can honestly say although this phone is amazing and fast
I miss htc yeah yeah crappy quality bad screens and sense but for some reason every day I debate on taking the mt4g back from my wife LOL
But this screen is too nice and much faster....

There are at least 6 launchers to choose from. Probably more. Take your pic.
1. ADW Launcher
2. Launcher Pro
3. Stock Launcher, lol.
4. Launcher 7
5. Go Launcher
6. Zeam Launcher
also the Regina Launcher..
out of the list, I've gone with Go Launcher as it's the most stable for me. ADW I tried several times but it keeps screwing up, notification bar goes missing, etc.. so I just dumped it altogether
SPB Mobile Shell, not my favorite but lots of eye candy.

I concur. Although SPB Shell is not my choice but surely a beautiful "creation". Lol
P.S. You can also try using the Sense clock widget on your main screen. I've have it setup where if I double tap on the "hour area" it launches the "Go weather app/widget" which is really cool. Also try different launchers thar give u an option to also customize your icons. For example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I'm not sure if this is the name of the launcher, but which ROM's have the launcher in which the button to bring up the app drawer is in the bottom middle of the screen, and the button looks like a bunch of squares...sorry, not sure of its name. I think it may be the Nexus One launcher? Anyway, please ask questions if you don't understand what I'm talking about..

You're either talking about the Nexus Launcher or the Helix Launcher.

Is the Helix launcher the one that comes stock with non-Sense Android phones?
You should probably post this in the General section. Thats what its for...This has nothing to do with Development.

That thing your talking about is called a launcher. Htc launcher is rosie. Non sense launcher is called home or launcher, and there are few sweet ones to choose from(some have more screens and/or different features). Helix is 3rd party and does not come with the phone. N1/nexus launcher/ launcher2 is the launcher that comes with n1. The launcher youre talking about is prolly the nexus launcher (helix is 3rd party, but helix doesnt come with any rom unless its a mod). If you need that apk. look for launcher2.apk, and youll probably like helix too.
Search for ADWLauncher. It's a modified Helix launcher. I love it. I don't use the stock rosie anymore.

Hi. Pretty sweet. However, how do you activate the "cube effect" for the apps? or any of the 3D. For some reason, I can't find it. Thanks!
Please option to hide icons and uninstall from clicking the icons.
MyLauncher released and NO Where to be found!
Nice job mate, works pretty good on my galaxy s. However I think more options to customize would be nice cause at least I like launcher with more customizing options better ( ADW, Launcher Pro).
will give it a go see how i likes
What are you guys using? I tired Fancy Widgets but IMO they look bad. Anything close to stock? ( Im talking sense )
Closest to Sense is gonna be Beautiful Widgets. I agree, fancy widget sucks. You'll never get the large weather widget and have it look decent, for some reason the resolution on those large ones look like ****. But I found the small weather widget from Beautiful Widgets looked nice, like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Beautiful Widgets is what is what as well . Goweather is nice but its a cpu hog
from my phone duh
Guessing that BW is a paid app?
Free version of Fancy Widget skinned to look like sense. Not sure if I'm even allowed to distribute the .apk.. but here it is anyways.
for some reason my fancy widgets isnt loading the weather anyone kno how to fix this ?
Fancy widget pro is awesome. There are so many skins for it. You can have one skin for clock and one skin for weather. Its sweet.

Lol, why do you need it in the first place on a sense ROM?
Hey guys, just wanted to share an ICS search widget mod that works perfectly on our Notes. (Gingerbread) I found this app on the market awhile back, but was pulled down for an unknown reason. I did not write this app & unfortunately I do not even know who to give credit to.
Either way, this is the best method I've found for getting a high res ICS themed search widget - the voice icon also works perfectly. Just install the APK as you would any other application (file manager, root explorer, etc) and the widget will show up in your widget menu.
Here is a screenshot and download link :

You'll need a launcher that allows you to resize widgets, otherwise it will be 4x1 like the stock widget. I use ADW EX w/ 6x1. I know Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, SPB shell 3d, and many others will allow you to resize it.

How did you get your dock to look like that? I have the background image and the ICS icons, however when I set the background that white line touches the top of the icons rather than there being a "gap" like there should be!
I use Kovdev's ICS theme which i believe works with ADW and Go launcher.
Just reporting it worked for me in my Ace...

Could you try to add an option for an app drawer that is like aosp? I hate list lol
Great work man!
Its launcher specific. You can choose any sort of app drawer you want. I have changed mine back to the aosp drawer also. I should probably say I'm just using existing apps to do this. I'm not smart enough to write any such coding to create a launcher myself.

So this will be a theme for go launcher, apex or nova, or something like that?
It looks nice so far! :thumbup:

Creating a launcher is pretty easy all you need to do is create an android application with an intent for a launcher and now it's a launcher. The hard part is in creating all the live tiles and making them customizable.
Is there a link?

If you want a WP8 launcher there is already one in the market that is pretty cool. Another big update is suppose to come shortly for it as well...
