i like GoLauncher but for 10 cents i am buying it.
Thanks for the find Mortem
EDIT--Have played with it, and i have to say its MUCH smoother than go launcher. though i like some of Go's transitions. it makes what little lag there was in the app drawer non existant. scrolling is much smoother in gerneral as well. again thanks for the find man.

yea i just changed my mind i like ADW now.....
like how when you hide the dock the icons actually drop down to FILL in the dead space makes the screen look much bigger. that with the smoothness im sticking ADW for now.
and i have actually downloaded 3 or 4 of your icon packs.....i like the gears one, but the actuall Gear Look of the icons kind of throws me off.
EDIT EDIT <<<< FOR THOSE WHO ARE USING GO LAUNCHER.......ADW DRAINS "ALOT" LESS BATTERY AS WELL.

I have always used ADW ex, tried others before, but not enough to compare now, its been too long. I really enjoy using ADW, but there is a learning curve with all the options and setting available. You can get lost in the settings UI, but it's definitely expansive.

Can I use custom icons with it? (never even used ADW)
Can I enable 7 screens like LPP?
Does it have scrollable widgets like LPP's facebook?
Can I change what the icons open?
I'm definitely considering buying this, I just need to know a few basic things before I do y'know? Sorry if these questions sound stupid.
Yes you can use custom icons. Long press and icon you want to change and off you go. Was never really keen on using ADW till now, easily trumps LP IMO and worth the $$$.

What about the more screens and scrollable widgets?
Edit: I got it. removed a lot of my icons and widgets from my homescreen so i just removed it. didn't feel like putting them back. the transitions were cool though. i may re-download another time when i am really bored.
even the free ADW is on a higher level of customization than launcher pro plus
I'm loving the Ex version thanks OP!
There's almost too much to customize! Lol

I couldn't get it to layer widgets (unless it's an undocumented feature of the paid version), so I'm sticking with LPP.

You have to enter ADW Settings to get to your system settings. Very unintuitive.
I've bought both EX and LPP. The eye candy of EX is nice, but LPP is a touch more refined as of right now in terms of practicality.
Just thought I would throw this up..

youll need to switch launchers. The phone comes loaded with Touchwiz, which is where all the colorful icons come from. the launcher is the "mechanism" they controls which icons and widget sets the phone uses, and also how the app drawer looks and works. the most popular downloadabe launcher is called LauncherPro, and its available from the market for free. Aftermarket launchers can be much faster and highly customizable. Once you installed your launcher of choice, then youll have to start finding replacement clocks and things like that.
The clock im using is called Bob3d, if you google it, it will take you to the thread on Xda of the guy who created the clock, and the weather stream at the bottom of mine is called minimalist text, which is also free from the market.
try out battstatt and tajim also, they are nice clean looking battery percentage and time widgets. hope this gives you some direction!
That looks really slick. I just downloaded SPB Shell 3D last night. Very fluid and no lag on my SGS4G. So far I really like it even though it's a bit high on price. But it has so much customization options.

the launcher im using is adw launcher ex ,the program i used to change my battery icons and wifi along with signal was ninjamorph. i took a themed frame work from my g2,took the icons i used for the battery,signal and wifi and took them out and used ninjamorph to push them into my framework, if this sounds too confusing,its new to me too..im a newb at this..it was just something i was toying around with. The battery stats are not accurate, i used the theme blue rover that can be flashed using the tmobile theme app that does not come with our phone.
I also used root explorer to change the lcd density of my screen from 240 to 200. Gives a cleaner look..

Ive tried many launchers and my favorite is LauncherPro due to its lite weight and very clean.

Launcherpro is my favourite, although I've never tried go. Been thinking about trying go to compare.

Speaking of launchers, does anyone know where to get the Stock Gingerbread launcher?
My phone (stock root of 4.24) only has Sense available. Was bored and work and wanted to see what true stock Android looks like. I found the Gingerbread keyboard already, but all the ones in the market say they are mods of the stock launcher.
BTW, searching the EVO sub-forum for "gingerbread keyboard" gives me links to nearly ever recent ROM thread.

Ditto. The ex version is do much better than the stock version that cubes with cm7. I also used go launcher ex got a while too. But their app drawer is kinda ugly, and they didn't have a 3d app drawer option when I last used it.
Swyped from my Beast Mode Evo!
Go launcher. Hands down. I like it's customization. Even though they are all highly customizable, I prefer go launcher and it's app drawer.

Are tired of waiting for samsung to update us all to honeycomb haha! If so check out the spb 3d launcher it is great, very smooth screen transitions like honeycomb or touchwiz, it has an option that lets you turn all your panels into a spining circular tray with a true 3d look and feel. I would suggest you take a look at the many youtube videos that are out there. Also there is a experimental option included that creates true 3d on your device, require those 3d glasses to experience it. And yes it cost $15 but worth it!

It is certainly good for eye candy and feels very smooth. But after using it for a day or so, you get bored with all the glitter and it slows down the tab within a few hours of use. It does also reduce the battery life a bit.

Agreed -- the birthday widget was quite cool, but not enough to part with my beloved Go Launcher
It's very cool and very fast. But there are a few things I would like to see changed:
- I can't change the size of the widgets. For instance, I can't put the Sense Analogue Clock in the middle of the screen
- I can't put a widget or quick link on more pages, just on one
- I can't put bookmarks directly on a screen, just through the bookmark widget.
- you can add only 3 different locations to the globe/world time widget
Or maybe I haven't found out yet how to do that?
I bought SPB for my Photon and recently installed it on my Sprint Tab and really like it on there!! I like it much better than ADW Launcher.

Well now that we are all comfy with our new ICS phones, let's talk launchers.
While I kinda liked blur home from 2.3.6, I am not super pleased with ICS' home.
But fear not, Check out apex launcher! IMO it's a lot like LauncherPro but for ICS, You get the scrolling dock (I've always loved that), sweet window transitions, and scrollable widget support (a must for me). Also for root users (and which of us aren't rooted? lol), you can drag and drop widgets on and off of your homescreen. Not to mention have them overlap if necessary.
I'm loving it! Find it in the play store:HERE.

Unfortunately certain widgets just won't come up on non-stock launchers. Such as quick contacts. They will only work on the stock home. I personally know no way of making them work.
thats what im using! also tried nova launcher as well but i like this one better. love the scrolling dock...keeps my screen uncluttered.

I actually have been using Apex myself and my quick contacts widget works. I thought it didnt at first either but what I was pressing was the green dialer on the widget and getting no results. But then I deleted and placed the widgets back and pressed the number itself above mobile and you press the message icon to direct message. Hope this worked for you man. Check it out I got some shots of it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

Do any of you guys have problems with launchers affecting your battery? I have installed many launchers (GoLauncher, Launcher Pro), and while they look nice and are customizable, my battery always seems to suffer...went from like 16 hours medium usage to like 13, with no other changes besides adding the launchers.

Nope. Check your battery monitoring to find where the culprit is. Also, you can DL Badass battery monitor from the play store and try that.

Don't get me wrong, I like Nova as well. It just feels like Apex has more customize options. Both are very alike and great on ICS.

Crud, i know there was a reason i liked apex better but can't remember...
Dx I'm actually running the paid version of apex which is even better.
More transitions, and so forth. Its only a couple of bucks, you sold give it a whirl!

I've been running apex since sunday now and found that it was causing a significant battery drain, today in fact i was watching it closely and i was 6hrs on the battery with 1:45 of the display on using 78% of the power and I was down to 50% life left, I've already noticed a significant difference having removed apex.
