[Q] gingerbread dock - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i like stock android, BUT is there any way i can change JUST the dock (nothing else) to something similar to cm7 or go launcher?

Yes. By installing either of those launchers lol

Cm7 is ADW launcher. Install a launcher from the market. Press home. A pop-up will appear check the little box are the bitten then choose your new launcher.

[Q] Change default launcher?

Hi,
Would like to get you people's opinion if I should replace the stock launcher with either ADW Ex or LP+?
Thanks advice is much appreciated

I use go launcher...its a matter of taste. Go just happens to have an appdrawer design I like and atheme I enjoy. Just download a few and see what works.

I downloaded 4 different launcher apps, and used the Home Screen Switcher to test them out.
Its quick and convenient, and you'll never be bored of the look on the device.
Launcher pro for me, the Widgets are nice and the swipe feature to see miss calleds or SMS is the best, I had it over a year now, I use adw but didn't like it as much

Does both of them consume alot of battery compared to stock launcher ... ?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
There should be no diffwerence in battery consumption. I really like LP but ADW is also very good and like stated above it is really a personal preference I have the paid versions of both
ADW does do quite a bit of theming if that is your thing start there first

Battery life is the same for me as long as you no start using extra widgets because launcher pro plus had more then you ash should be fine

I bought the LP+, and definitely didn't look back. One gripe is that there aren't much font back on the market ...

There is a thread similar to this in the themes section with some valuable input.

You sure you're on the latest update?
I use go launcher also, and have no problems.
I even uninstalled tw, and go launcher is my only launcher.
If you have titanium backup pro, try freezing tw, and see if that stops the issues you're having.

I'd be especially careful when freezing TW. Make sure that you NEVER delete your launcher, because if you do even accidentally, you're screwed.
I did that once. Whole damn screen stayed black. I was trying out several launchers and was using sbp shell and did not like it. I messed around not paying attention and deleted it before switching default launchers. For like a half hour I just kept hitting buttons and through the grace of god got the little use this by default pop up for my launchers. I must say the whole experience sucked.

That sucks. I usually delete tw and what ever launcher comes with my custom roms because I love zeam launcher. I never encountered a tw related problem though

Same here, tw gets uninstalled as soon as I make sure go launcher is working properly.
I just freeze it for a couple days, and if nothing happens, I just smack that uninstall button!

MIUI style launcher?

Does anyone know of a launcher that gets rid if the app drawer? I love the feature of miui but with the lack of updates I'd like to try a more current ROM.

You can also use nova launcher (or similar) and long press the app drawer and drag it off the screen. I guess you would have to set apps to 'auto add' after install from the market and drag each app out as well.... I usually get rid of the app drawer icon and set it to open with a swipe up...

Launcher

What's your favorite launcher? I'm trying to figure out witch one I like most. Some are to much some are not enough. I'm liking apex at the moment. I've tried go, nova, adw. What's your input?

I used to use Go all the time, but switched to Nova fairly recently, and am very happy with it. The only thing I miss from Go is the "recent apps" window in the app drawer, but the built-in recent apps menu is pretty close in functionality.
I've tried about all of them and keep coming back to Apex. The free version allows you to use some gestures that Nova charges for. I didn't like the recent update because it was giving me problems dropping apps in folders so I am using an older version.
I used to use Go but switched to Nova after I tried all of them, became a favorite of mine.

I've been playing with the HAX launcher. It's definitely different.

I use Nova Launcher, so fast its really good ( and using CleanROM 4.5) so its really good with performance and stability.
Using nova here as it was on sale for only 25 cents a month or so ago... Hard to pass that up. Before that was just using touchwiz and on my DROID eris back in the day I used adw and maybe go launcher.
