I love CM7 to the point where I wouldn't want to run any other ROM, but since I have the paid versions of both ADW and Launcher Pro I don't have any need for the free version of ADW that comes packed with CM7. I found a mod that replaces ADW with the default Gingerbread launcher, and I've found that I prefer the stock launcher over any of the replacements I've tried. It's fast, minimal, and it just works. My only problem is that launcher2 only has five homescreens, and I want seven. A Google search brought me to a version of the stock launcher with seven homescreens, and I was able to install it on the latest CM7 nightly, but whenever I pressed the phone icon I got an error message telling me that "this application is not installed on your phone". I tried the launcher on both OMGB and OMFGB with the same results. Is there a version of the stock Gingerbread launcher out there that I can use on CM7 that has seven homescreens and a working phone shortcut?

I've just become the proud owner of a Nexus S. Stock it has 5 home pages, but I know that Android in general will support 7. I can't find an option for updating this on the Nexus S with 2.3.1
Anyone?
It depends on the launcher you're using. If you're using the stock launcher, you'll be limited to 5 home screens. You can download ADW, or Launcher Pro. ADW seems to have more customizations.
Real stock Android 2.3 is 5 homescreens only, you can not change it. HTC Sense UI can do 7.
If you want more, your option is to use a 3rd party launcher like ADW.Launcher
-Nexus S
And if you really like ADW Launcher, try out ADW Launcher EX.. it's even better
On my stock 2.3.3 the applications in the app draw kind off drifted off, or under when scrolling. now i have CM7 rom on my nexus it seems to have other transitions but the applications flow off the screen.
Can i change it back to work like standard?
I think what you are referring to is that cm7 replaces the stock launcher/dock with adw launcher which does not have the 3d affect.
If you want the stock launcher back you can go to the market and search for Gingerbread Launcher by Eugene
Yeh found it last night. I much prefer it
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Or you can go to the cyanomodegen forum (Nexus s themes subsection), grab the zip with the stock launcher and flash it. It replaces ADW launcher with the stock one (my current setup is CM7 + stock launcher + mattedblues theme - I love XDA ).
Sorry, but as a new user, I can't post direct links to other pages...
Hi Guys.
I just rooted my Nexus S and installed CyanogenMod 7 (Stable). Everything is working fine but I have one possibly stupid question to ask.
Before when I had stock Android the app drawer had a 3D effect which is now gone. I have looked through both the Cyanogenmod settings and the ADW Launcher settings and I cant seem to find a way to enable it.
If someone could point me in the right direction I would be thankful.
Menu -> Settings -> ADW Launcher -> (I use ADW EX so it might appear different) UI Settings -> Drawer Settings -> App Drawer style
The ADW Launcher in CM7 is different from ADW EX and ADW Free on the market.
also launcher pro has the 3d app drawer effect, and its now working perfect on cyan 7. but to answer your question, cyan 7 comes wtih ADW lanucher, not the stock launcher. so ADW prob has to turn on that setting and it will work...or use launcher pro. or push the stock launcher back to your phone.
Thanks. I downloaded ADW Launcher EX from the Marketplace since that feature wasn't available in the Cyanogenmod version.
@ RogerPodacter
How would you go about pushing the stock launcher? As I also am running cm7 but want the stock launcher.
Thanks in advance.

get launcher2.apk and put it in /data/app or /system/app/ via adb / file manager
or find frank707's mod that removes adw and puts stock launcher, but you lose a lot of customization

All I want is the basic Android launcher, but with seven screens. I have a launcher apk, but it was for 2.2 and I'm very unsure if I can use it now.
Basically, as my signature shows, I have an INC1 and a NC.
Both running CM7.
I hate ADW, I've never liked custom launchers.
Is there a way to actually add a stock GB launcher onto at least one of the two devices and cover up ADW or get rid of it.
Like such?

I've seen themes for ADW that supposedly add a stock launcher, but it never happens. So here I am.
Launcher Pro or read...
