I was browsing the General Android Apps and Games section and came across the unofficial Ice Cream Sandwich/2.4 Launcher:
http://syndicateapps.com/ICS/v0.1.0.0/ICS_2.4_Launcher.apk
It is in alpha so refer to the below thread for Q&A.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268003
Working well on the X10 and I gotta say I like it.
Something new to play with so have fun!
Information from Sydicateapps:
"We built this launcher based off the leaked screen shots of 2.4. But unfortunately there is not enough information or leaks about ICS, so you may find the launcher incomplete or empty! BUT don't worry, as more info and screenshots come out we will update the launcher to make it feel more like the real ICS. But in till then, this is maybe as close as you will get!
You may notice in the launcher that some of it feels like Honeycomb, but that is because we built the launcher from our Honeycomb Launcher. We used the Running Apps menu for the launcher since we don't know what the ICS running apps menu really looks like."

I think those ics screenshots were phony
Hmm when i choose settings of the launcher at one movement it says honeycomb launcher?

It only says that because it is based on sydicateapps' honeycomb launcher.
I haven't tried it out yet but it looks interesting.

Based on Eh17, but with some TW4 Files.
May not boot, so good luck.
I know the OP is boring for now, but I'll make it better later.
first...
i might give this a shot later
I'll try it out on my spare
It booted fine. Was a tad sluggish on startup but worked out. Didn't look too much different from eh17 normally

I've been running this since last night, and it seems to work much better for me than when I tried to run TW 4.5. The only issue I've had so far is with market updates crashing the market, but I'm sure that's from the way I restored all my apps, since I was so tired.
I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to do this true TW4 standalone from the ROM, or is the only way to use this ROM?
If it is anything like TW4.5, you have to turn on landscape mode followed by a reboot. It only has to be done once but once you do you get landscape.

Yeah, all you need is the framework.jar from the framework folder and it needs to go in an Eh17 rom and you also need twlauncher from system/app
Hey J. Everytime I run this I get only the app drawer on the dock. No phone browser or whatever else is usually there. Is it something I'm doing?

Just manually add the apps you want on the dock.
(App Drawer > Menu > View Type > Customizable Grid > Menu > Edit > *Make Changes* > Menu > Save > Menu > View Type > Go back to what you like.)
It's a lot more annoying than other launchers on the market, but you can still do it. TW4 seems to have a maximum of three apps, plus the app drawer. On the custom TW4.5, it allows for more, but the app drawer still will always be the right-most icon. Those two things are all I would as for Samsung.. well maybe an auto-hide home screen number too. Minor annoyances but a silky smooth launcher.
Also, thanks for the reply xboxfanj, about trying to add this without needing to flash the whole ROM.
Thanks.

If I can find the time, I might try learning how to do that, because I'm having a bit too much trouble combining my mods. I might tinker with it, along side working on getting ACS ICS where I want it on my phone. In the meantime, I've been using QQLauncher. It's nicer looking, and more of what I want, since it readily works with ACS ICS, but TW4 seemed to be a bit smoother for me. Now that the Galaxy Nexus has been announced, I might also be a little more patient as things develop. Not to mention, Cyanogen is getting pretty polished. Decisions, decisions.. I'll be glad when I'm finally settled on something. Until then, hopefully I can learn enough to help put some of these solid mods together.

St. Louis Buddies. Cardinals 2nite. I'll fix it and make it more TW4 like too, IE: not only the launcher, other interface elements too. I'll make it a theme.

I know it's a bit much to ask and probably won't be around for a while, i'm positive there are people interested in it just as much as me as i'm currently "ICS pimping" my phone out but due to my locked boot loader and fastboot not working due to 02 sim lock (and not having the persuasion or the trust to do it via online no offence due to the costs..) i can't get cm7 running and using that ICS theme i was wondering if anyone could make this ?
With widget locker you can mimic the lockscreen now.
Oh i have the wallpapers, the widget locker and using the ICS clone, the default UI sounds , the ringtones and notifications ripped from the Galaxy Nexus, launcher pro icons theme, the google widget and the clock widget, oh and the market update the google music app update and the google+ update from 4.0
i'm getting there lmao
Couldn't you just switch to ADW or Go Launcher and use one of their ICS themes?

no, because i already have that done read my previous comment, i'm talking about a theme the way the Galaxy S II theme got ported to this rom, re-themeing the stock status bar, apps framework, system UI etc.

Why not try porting the theme yourself you can edit framework and systemui without needing to decompile so shouldnt be too hard
trust me it attempted it before and i ended up bricking my phone, don't ask probz didn't give it correct permissions , being a uni student leaves me little time to focus on things like that 9:00 A.M. and i'm up to my neck in coursework lol.

Is there any way someone can port touchwiz 4.0 from the T-Mobile galaxy s 2 to work with our kj6 roms? (Valahalla, octane v3, etc). I know about touchwiz 4.5 but its very unstable on my phone for some reason and its app sorting in the app drawer does not work. I love how smooth tw4 is compared to others like launcher pro and adw and I just think it looks soo much better. I appreciate it if anyone can help. I'm sure other memebers would like this as well. Thanks!

That's tw4.5 though..... it has made my phone reboot ever since froyo days. Whenever I do something ram intensive on that launcher, my phone reboots. I never experience that with others like launcher pro. And how the app drawer doesn't sort properly is a pain. Thanks for the help though..

I've never used 4 or 4.5 and I got the wrong one, lol sorry for the confusion. It was mislabeled and I have no experience with the either of them.

The 4.5 comes from the fact that it was a modified version of 4. This launcher automatically comes configured with the stay in ram feature selected- it's been awhile but I am sure that Launcherpro has that feature as well, but it is by default off. Try disabling that and see if it just fc's the launcher (thus resulting in a restart of the launcher) as opposed to your phone crashing. Thats really the only thing that would separate it from other launchers. You can turn the 3d effects off as well to help with the ram. I always make sure to kill passive processes- then again I do not use octane so I am not sure how it runs.
I never had problems with the app drawer. You can change the sorting preferences in the preferences menu of the launcher. It is by default on unrestricted, but you can change it to alphabetical.

I tried turning that off, launcher won't even open anymore so I had to reinstall it. Tried running it for a day but it just doesn't work on my phone which is currently running valahlla final. I have the app drawer set to alphabetical but it still doesn't sort properly. If I install a lot of new apps or delete a lot of apps, there are lots of blank spaces and the only way to get rid of the spaces is to manually move each app one by one which is really a big pain. I just want stock touchwiz 4. I hope someone can get it to work on this phone. After playing with my brother's galaxy s 2, none of the launchers on the market feel anywhere close to that smooth.

Yeah go launcher is pretty good. Still isn't as fast as launcher pro though. I really wish we had a stock touchwiz 4 launcher for this phone. Tw4.5 freezes too much and no other launcher out there really comes close to how fluid tw4 is. I've tried like every launcher in the market too.

Why are you resurrecting old threads and posting the same thing in each one?
This may be old news for a lot of a people, but since I can't find any mention of it in the G2x Forums, then I figured there were probably still enough people who don't know about it to warrant a new thread.
If you're like me and got tired of the instabilities of ICS roms and switched to a GB one, but missed the look and feel of ICS, then here is your answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636393
Holo Launcher works for 2.2 and above. I've been running it on top of HFP 2.2 for 3 days with no problems. It does a great job of giving you an ICS feel on your GB ROM and also features pinch previews and scrollable docks. I recommend using this with a rom that supports Theme Chooser to fully customize your device and really get that Sandwich feel (or whatever other feel you want )
thats pretty cool, gonna try this when i get home, thanks for posting this!
I've been using it for 2 days and it is nice and gives the same exact feel of stock launcher of 4.0.4 without the lag haha, I wish Widgets would work but it is only a beta ;-)

My current rom supports lockscreen gestures (I use them frequently). And if you hold down on an app from the app drawer, drag it to the delete/trash icon, and hold it there, it turns into an uninstall icon. Note: this only works with downloaded apps and not system apps.***
Oh.. and I appreciate thanks, but if you try the launcher and like it, please show your support and thanks to dev in the original thread linked in the OP. Thanks!
Its Ok, doesn't compare to ADW with the ICS Sqrd paid theme is smooth silky Butter!
I tried this before, it's not bad but I'd rather use GO Launcher EX with an ICS theme. It's just way smoother for my phone.
