Hi guys,
Been using ADW for a while now and really like it, but recently getting more and more force closes. Can anyone else recommend a good one? I tried panda but that seemed to slow my phone down a lot. Thanks to anyone who can help
HelixLauncher or Zeam Launcher is good.
got them both installed now. Zeam seems really fast. Can our x10 only take up to 1.5.1? Thats all I could find to download
What version of ADW did you have? I'm using 1.0.1 I haven't had a single force close with it, and I can't say any other home replacement is even close to being as good as ADW!
adw has been my favourite and it was 1.0.1 that I had, but it has just started forcing close and i dont know why
Adw look really nice but it does not work well on the x10, horizontsl slide is very sensitive. That means that you pick up icons while sliding the program menu. Fix that and ill replace Zeam.

Portrait works much better

Glenn, you do know you can change the app drawer back to the vertical scrolling type, right? Reason I ask is because I had the same problem when I first installed adw, and had almost given up on it solely because of that, until someone told me I could do that. It is in the adw settings, under drawer settings I believe. The horizontal slide is the galaxy s style, vertical works much more smoothly on x10

I was going to say the same thing. Vertical slide works MUCH better than horizontal slide.
I'm wondering if the force-close issues in ADW are anything to do with the themes. I love the concept of themes but I'm tempted to disable them in case the size of the graphical components are causing some kind of bottleneck. Or something. I'm just guessing really, it's only really started playing up since I changed the themes.
I used to use HelixLauncher a lot, and liked it... certainly over the stock... but ADW won me over after I changed the drawer to horizontal, and disabled the "new dock" thing at the bottom, which I never used.
I might go back to Helix because ADW is being a bit odd recently. I wonder if that is what is hassling my poor old Beautiful Widgets...
My adw was getting a bit laggy so i uninstalled and reinstalled it. It's back to being super fast again. i use beautiful widgets and everything is fine.

i love launcher pro but i cant use it

I've been using ADW for ages, and it's definitely my favourite too...
I'd like to say I've had no issues at all, but recently I've been finding that icons occasionally shift a few pixels to the right - like it's stuck a little way into swiping between screens...
It seems this only happens if I go in and out of a landscape based application (such as the camera) - my fix for this is to enable landscape mode in ADW as well, and I haven't had a problem... So while I don't like or used landscape on the home screen, at least my screens don't get stuck a little skewed...
Note, I only found this to be an issue after I upgraded to the 024 firmware... that, of course, doesn't mean there wasn't an upgrade to ADW too, I just don't remember (given I also wiped my device and re-installed everything)...
Hi all,
I don't know if anybody has tried this home launcher. I just installed it and it's really nice. The launcher was made by SE Japan. It seems that it's only available in Japan for some reason through the market.
Check the link below for more details and screenshots. I find it a lot more stable and less resource intensive than any other home launcher that I have tried and it's a lot faster and smoother.
It's by no means perfect, there's a definite lack of options and some widgets get chopped off (beautiful weather for example and the widgets that are supposed to be 4x1, but for some reason take 4x2, you know, the ones that you can't stick anything below them, well, now you can, but they get chopped a little), the lockscreen is sweet, you get 5 desktops and a live wallpaper. It would be nice to be able to change the color palette of the live wallpaper since the colors are a little effeminate imo,but that's ok. Oh yeah, and you will loose the ability to change your wallpaper when using the launcher.
There's one really sweet feature. You can unistall apps straight from the drawer. No need to go in the market or the application settings for non-market apps. Yay!
Like I mentionned, it's not perfect, but it will help me wait for the 2.1 update. Check it out for yourselves.

Hopefully, the new 2.1 update will look and feel like that.

And YES its FREE because we all love free stuff dont we.. Lol enjoy..
Tried it. Its nice but needs work. It will be good once they fix the lag and give transparent effect. Cuz some of my transparent widgits dont go transparent on that launcher.
Its pretty neat tho. Similar to go launcher but more stylish.

I have just tested this on my Samsung Galaxy Sii and it looks really good!
One feature I would love to see that is in many other launchers is the ability to "resize" widges on the pages.
This would make it very complete.

you can resize widgets on launcher pro...it just a paid feature, not free on this launcher
@ Jager
I know what he means! With other launchers like the paid LauncherPro
you can overlap widgets, fit them, arrange the grid etc, with QQLauncher
that aint possible or very limited. Besides QQLauncher is laggy as hell on
a very fast phone .
yea, but once we give it time, it willd definitely be a great launcher contender. good find. i'll keep my eye on this one.
I sure love it, especially with Vipitus his modifications, but I'm back
on LP. Will give it a try soon.
Gives a real miui type feel, takes to long to respond after app close, I'm on audiophile bump in your trunk or boom in your room, sticking to launcher pro

Not bad.. I like the look, but got a FC after about 2 minutes of messing with it though. I'll try it again after the next update.
The best feature of this launcher IMHO is the freaking awesome sorted scrolling vertical app drawer. Oh my God... Sexy.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
This launcher is awesome on my D3, super quick to redraw the home page after closing an app or camera and love the alphabetically sorted app drawer. Give this guys some time and it will be a hit. It does need a few featured like widget resizing and editing of icons, also a custom grid size. Will keep for a while to see how it develops
when I click the contact or phone app on the dock it opens the default samsung phone or contact instead of giving the option of the all the phone apps (go dialer,touchpal dialer etc). any plans to add this?
Does anyone know how to replace the dock and app drawer icon? I don't want an entire theme to change it :S
wow this has the best lockscreen I've ever seen
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I've been using Launcher Pro for quite a long time now on my Epic 4G but I've never liked that it seems slow to initialize and at times is just laggy for unknown reasons. So, I switched to QQLauncher Pro 1.4.3 (Build 234). I miss some of the LP icons but overall love how QQLauncher Pro's design is for the setup of each screen, the ability to organize apps into folders, and at least in my case with Android 2.3.4 EH06 installed on my phone, there doesn't seem to be any lagginess to concern me.
However, I have found some quirky bug in that not all icons are rebuilt after a reboot of my phone. Similarly, with all my apps organized into multiple folders, the same 7 apps are found outside their intended folders after a reboot. The only solution is to apply a restore of the launcher settings, although it only corrects the home screens and not the app drawer. For each instance of this corruption, it is always the same apps affected, which is also puzzling since there's nothing they share in common to my knowledge. Most, and perhaps all of them are saved to the memory card to conserve system memory, but there are other apps similarly saved to the memory card that aren't affected, so that does not seem to be the source of the bug.
At this point, I'm not sure if I'll return to Launcher Pro...I have to decide which I think to be the lesser of two evils. QQLauncher really wins a lot of points though for just allowing multiple item selection when building a screen up.
Best launcher so far ...all it needs is an option to switch home screen landscape and more themes
I'd like to push/hold an app from the list-drawer and put it on the desktop, doesn't seem to work atm.
And the lock screen seems to redirect me to the GO SMS Pro app both when using the SMS-unlock and Home-unlock. Anyway to fix this? I'd really like to use the lock screen!
I'm using the latest 2.3 version. Is there any way to disable the task manager/app cleaner(which seems to run automatically)?
Hey guys just letting everyone know that the GO Dev Team has just released the beta for GO Launcher HD v1.0 -- a TABLET SPECIFIC version of their famous GO Launcher EX.
Check it out:
http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/2012/03/go-launcher-hd-v1-0-beta/
Fantastic. Exactly what I wanted the tablet version to be.
Issues:
6th folder created does not stay. The folder deletes and the icons are dumped to the all apps page.
Spelling mistake for the word "systme" When adding a widget. Should be "system".
Screen transition from portrait to landscape takes noticeably long time.
To much space between top of screen where google search is and first row of widgets only in portrait mode. Landscape is good.
Need ability to add more rows than 5. Even the custom option doesn't allow it.
I love it on my Epic and I am really liking this so far. Have not tried Apex but I have tried Nova on my phone and still found myself going back to Go.

Installed many different launchers to find that the default still the winner. About this one in my opinion need lots of work. (lag, wallpaper resizing issue, widget will not added unless you restart the launcher). Am not new to go launcher its installed and working perfectly on my Samsung galaxy Tab since a while with no issue....
Again its just my opinion with Go launcher HD.

Hence...... the `beta` tag. Still pushes beyond the other ICS specific launchers, IMO.

I'll have to try this out, but I've never liked Go Launcher over ADW or Launcher Pro for my phone, its always been slower and takes up more resources compared to those 2, but we'll see how it runs on the tablet
Edit - runs really nice on the tablet, thinking its going to be a keeper
It's very polished and good features so far. Once/if it has internal icon theming controls similar to ADW I will probably use it exclusively.
I noticed that sometimes when moving or resizing widgets the launcher gets stuck in edit mode.
Aside from that and a few other bugs, this will be my new default launcher once it is out of beta stage. The amount of features and the ease of adding icons, widgets, and folders is really great. I'm glad the decided to make a tablet version of their launcher.
brilliant launcher, haven't had a problem with it at all, landscape to portrait does take a while, haven't tried folders yet... the dock bar is something I've been looking forward to, looks good too.
For a first Beta this is running very smoothly. I assume in the near future they will add many more features and themes similar to Go Launcher EX. The Go Dev Team always have put out timely updates. One of my favorite features that I have only seen in Go Launcher is app drawer folders.

A damn good start. I love the old Go Launcher but this new one is kind of nice. They need to fine tune the wallpaper application, also the window transitions are adequate but nowhere near what Nova launcher has done. I will say this, this is one of the nicest Betas I have used.
Just wanted to post that people should check back with the OP link. Version 1 Beta 2 is available.

People use custom launchers for the added features and customizability.

Thanks for this heads up. I happen to love Go Launcher on my phone so I'll give it a whirl. However all the auxiliary launchers are losing to stock ICS which is smooth as silk on my tablet. We shall see; it's playtime!

They may be but go launcher is perfect with the folders like iPhone. Its also very quick to load.

Yeah nothing beats ICS-Stock-Launcher in Terms of Speed and smoothness. I currently just use the normal Go Launcher Ex with a minimalistic Theme and I like it ( I use very fancy screen transitions so you cant really notice the lag )
Does this Beta already support themes? Guess I will just give it a try, my TF101 is charging atm >_>
Greetings
So I would love to find an app that allows for a slide out "locker" for apps of my choice in it. I'm thinking something like the Ubuntu favorites bar on the new Ubuntu UI... This shouldn't be too tough to make as Action Launcher Pro does it with the app drawer...I'd just like to be able to put the apps I want in there instead of all of them.. Kind of like taking the Dock, turning it on it's side, and allowing for a gesture from the edge of the screen to open it and a swipe back to edge to close or to close when I choose an app in it. I would also love for it to be customizable with custom Icons and allow for shortcuts to widgets as well like using the audio manager profile list widget and last but not least be scrollable so that I can have as many apps as I want in there. .. .Of course this should be an app/widget that can have multiple instances (Think one on each screen edge) and not a launcher as I'd like to use it with Nova Launcher if possible.
Is this too much to ask for?
Fliplauncher does a lot of what you ask for.
Works with other launchers, too.

Flip Launcher will work for now. It's similar.. I was thinking 1 long inch wide slide out vertical bar that scrolls but this will hold me over for now
I'll have to look at the MIUI ones but I just love my Minco ROM and have never gotten a MIUI Rom to work for me for some reason...
AW: Slide out "Locker" for Apps
miui is important to have the right kernel. before i started flashing, i customized my phone with such launchers and replacements and it was just a waste of ram, it worked, but it wasnt good at all. In miui i can customize my theme in an more awsome and more easy way.

Unfortunately there is no MIUI so far for the nexus 4
I use GMD Gesture Control, one of the default gestures is swipe in from the right edge to get a "locker". Sounds like what you're looking for. Try the free version to see if you like it.

That is more like it! Once they tweak it a little to allow hiding apps I don't want there and improve the gesture sensitivity to open it up it should be great thanks!

Can't argue with that. GYF *was* too slow
Note that I am the author of GYF but I actually use both GYF and LMT as my daily drivers because, well, LMT is great and really completes GYF (or the other way around, lol)
