I bought my htc inspire 4g on saturday and rooted, s-off'd, flashed clockworkmodrecovery and flashed CM7 last night. Big change! I love it though, but im a bit ocd and cm7 seems heavier than i thought it would, most likely because of ADW, Is there a flavor, build, etc of CM7 7.0 or 7.2 with gingerbread launcher like the nexus s?
Thanks!

Isn't the launcher of CM7 the same as the nexus s? To me it looks the same.

Nope it's ADW, themed, not as smooth or fast as the gingerbread stock launcher.
Maybe ill just stick with it for now, but does anyone know if theres a zip i can flash ontop of CM7.2 that will give me it maybe?

Whats it called? i've never seen it, and does it matter im on the inspire?
Edit: and if it's that one from stevin lin i've heard it's not very good, and buggy compared to roms preinstalled with gingerbread.

Why not go into Market and search for gingerbread launcher?
It doesn't matter that you are on the inspire.
Try MoDaCo's version
the gingerbread launcher on the nexus s is hardware accelerated for the app drawer portion, using the graphics chip. so it wont be as smooth on the inspire or other android phones...the homescreen and side swiping will be the same though, just not the 3d app drawer.
I recently rooted my inspire, first android device, and installed CM7 because it seemed amazing, not saying it isn't. I like CM7, but i like pure Gingerbreads gingerygoodness even better. I am currently running CM7-Phunky Cow "flavored"
and i like it because of the actual launcher and runs higher quadrant scores.
I like pure gingerbread, but i think i may miss the cm7 settings, some i use, also i miss HTC widgets and camera, etc, but i cant stand sense anymore.
Anyone have recomendations on ROMS, or CM7 Flavours/Mods?
Use Ultimate Droid

I have tried that and it seems alot heavier then CM7, and that's not really what im aiming for, plus the theme is wierd on it, im not sure how i'd go with changing that.
What's the reason you use it?
Its very smooth and fast and my speed increased and its just perfect for me

Right now Cm7 is starting to make me not like my phone for some reason so let's put it this way, is there a Stable, User-Friendly, non sense rom out there thats gingerbread?
The nature of all custom roms are beta's nothing more, every rom including the stock non rooted rom is subject to hiccups.

Pure GB. Fully customizable. Great Quadrant scores (for what they're worth). No problems whatsoever...
And I jumped to the "Dark Side" straight from the latest CM7 build...and haven't looked back....

Well i guess im going to try miui, but how do i get it looking more like gingerbread, that seems heavily modded visualy... And is it using gingerbread launcher or an app launcher
If you're looking for a Gingerbread build with Sense, try RCMix 5.9.x, available for download directly via CWM.

It's using a home launcher.
If you want a pure GB home launcher, or have it look like CM7, just download ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro.
I'm currenrly running ADWEx on mine...
MIUI is fully customizable, and even has its own dedicated dev forum...

What about EE4 Eclipse? Nitro themed it really well and it had a bunch of SGS2 widgets fully working. There's also this launcher you can download that almost perfectly emulates TW4, I know it's on XDA but i don't feel like searching for it i do remember using it a while back tho and it had every feature I heard TW4 had, but since i've never actually used TW4 i cant comment on its legitimacy.

well thats an extremely old build, so i didnt mention it
and he had far less sgs2 integration in it than it looks like, as its mostly themed
his touchwiz4 was just grabbing the tw4.5 apk which works on any rom, infinity uses the real version from the sgs2

Newest Version of Infinity ROM 12-11 has a TW 4 launcher and it gives the phone a whole new feel..way better than the last
Is there any advantage to those people who have decided to use another launcher? For example... GoLauncherEX.

Preferences really...although stock droid charge 2.2 launcher was a bit laggy and was using ADW for a while
Is go causing redraws to be a slow as adw?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Go has a setting to make it persistent in memory. So does launcher pro. I don't know for sure but I'd be very surprised if ADW didn't have a similar feature. This should minimize any screen draw issues.

Just an FYI, a lot of people are having problems with random reboots when using the TW4 launcher on Infinity 12/11.
I'm sure the issue will get resolved in a future update, but for now it might be best to use a different launcher with Infinity. Certainly try out TW4 launcher - everyone's phone is different - but don't be surprised if you experience freezing/reboots.
After using it for a day I just could not accept the tw launcher and had to install ics launcher.
Just wondering if anyone has found the touchwiz launcher useful and if so why?
If you ditched it which launcher did you go to?

TW ruined the ICS that's all I can say.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It's not a terrible launcher.... Just boring. Not very customize-able. I have and will always use an aftermarket launcher. AdW eX to be exact.
I am using Nova Launcher. I have had no issues with it so far.

Even though I dont have ICS yet (****ty Rogers), I definitely agree with hawk
I was looking for a nexus experience but didnt want to get a galaxy nexus.
Thats why i would recommend Nova Launcher, Ive watched enough videos
I'm neutral, just looks like plain old touchwiz to me. Like the one we've always had, And I think we expected that. But with the added multitasking features And other added features its beem a pleasurable experience so far And I'm thourghly enjoying it.

I would definitely love you if you get it vanilla. I hate touchwiz, most useless software ever.
BTW you got any ETA as to when its coming out?
I ditched it for Apex. Much nicer.
I've always used launcher pro, so i'm super used to it. I just have it set up to have an ICS feel to it using this guide. I've had this for a while now, but now I actually have true ics

This is what it turns out to look like. Not too shabby, b/c I don't really like Nova or Apex that much.

Yea, the touch whiz completely ruined ICS for me. I had ICS running on my Inspire 4G before I upgraded to the Skyrocket, which was aosp ICS. I could definitely see all the differences straight away, and was quite underwhelmed by the ICS leak. I think some of the best parts of aosp ICS are missing. I used apex launcher for a while to try to make it a bit better, but in the end, went back to my NexusMod 4 backup.
Looking forward to some vanilla ice cream goodness.

Besides the launcher (which I ditched and bought Nova instead), I don't know what else is TW. I have no experience with ICS till today's flash-fest, so it all seems good to me (minus the TW launcher).

They also hobbled the lock screen. AOSP ICS allows for many music players to have controls on the lock screen. Samsung only supports it's own music player to have controls on it's TW lock screen. I just don't get it, why take away features?
On top of that to still not add a widget (since you are forced to use the stock TW music player to have lock screen controls) for the TW music player is just stupid. Makes you wonder how thought out TW is.
WELCOME, to Cookies And Cream ICS RETURNING!
This is an attempt to have not only another ICS ROM for user choice, But also to give as much choice in the ROM as possible with a selection of 4 different launchers- While keeping the Stock AOSP Enjoyment of ICS.
FEATURES:
- Stock AOSP
- Extremely Snappy (may differ with a different launcher)
- Choice of Nova, Apex, Stock Launcher, And Trebuchet-
- More to be added if user requested But realize im keeping it stock, Thanks.
If you want screenshots, Ill upload some, but theres shouldnt be much explaining since it is Stock.. >.>
