I am an AOSP stock experience fan boy so I immediately installed the stock 2.1 launcher on my Epic. Turns out it's ridiculously fast and buttery smooth.
3D effect and 5 home screens are included in this .apk. Root is not required for this to work.
Enjoy!
I think I love you..
Where'd you get that apk?
I don't find it as smooth.. I prefer Launcher Pro.

Some craft Googling! Actually it was "launcher2.apk mediafire". http://www.mediafire.com/?2o55dtwzain
Just installed it so far so good, thanks for posting

Sexy. I like it. I think I'm done with adwlauncher (already)

It works in landscape.
How does it compare to ADW?
This is nice but whatever happened to advanced launcher? It was a good aosp launcher from the 1.5 days and if I remember right you could hide apps from the drawer. Just a wonderin...

How to Turn Off/Disable TouchWiz:
I assumed not everyone knew this but you can disable the TouchWiz on the Epic:http://phandroid.com/2010/09/01/how-to-disable-touchwiz-on-the-epic-4g/
How to turn TouchWiz off. No Launcher App needed unless you want those personal features. No Root required. This is native:
You can just go to manage applications and hit menu and choose filter. scroll to TWLauncher and clear the default and when you press home button it will ask which home setting. choose the regular home and it will go to stock vanilla 2.1. And of course set the home you personally like as your default so it won't keep asking you which home setting do you want every time you hit the home button.
I just hope they keep this feature when it Froyo hits the device because some devices lose this feature when updated. Like the Hero did when 2.1 came to it. Doesn't make updates come quicker with this feature but it is nice to have. I do remember Samsung saying they would expect Froyo sometime this month for the Galaxy S. Let's hope that has some meaning to all versions.
Eh it doesn't work right in landscape on my phone. I switched back to Adwlauncher

It is only for 1.5 unfortunately, I liked it as well, and included it in most of my themes back then.
On the topic of this thread.....I am using ADW installed to /system/app/ and it is blazing fast as well. Suffice to say just about everything is fast on these phones.
Just curious here but you think it will work on the Vibrant and Captivate as well?
EDIT: Works on my Vibrant but fails to load widgets.
After using miui I can't go back to any other. The features and functionality of this ROM is just beyond what I ever thought would be possible in an android device.
Their slogan is "Redefining Android" and they surely are.
I was on the fence if I should try this ROM or not since Weapon was pretty awesome too , but after trying this one I'm not looking back.
Thanks goes to Whitehawkx, Segnaro, Jface for making this happen.
****Note****: if themes are not working for you is because you need to go to /data/system and create a folder called theme.

Let's post the functionality that this ROM has for those that aren't sure what "we" are talking about.
I will post what I remember and then If you guys remember any other feature post it, then I'll update this post with the feature you posted.
Themes - can be downloaded directly from ROM and apply within the ROM. You can theme things separately like the dialer, status bar, toggles, icons, lock screens, messaging app, etc. You can dip all this with the theme manager engine they use. Ability to change fonts within ROM without restarting phone.
Features -
Dialer - record calls and take notes within the dialer during a call. Two big features I always wanted.
Dialer also works as a T9 keyboard
Browser - scroll up and down with volume rockers (pretty cool), hitting the back button actually goes back, not like other browsers.
Screenshots - by pressing menu+ vol down
Settings - Redesigned setting menu with added features and tabs to categorize each setting menu.
Ability to track data usage
Integrated app killer and app manger by long pressing the home key also by long pressing the back key, closes the app completely.
Lock screen - hold down home button will turn on torch
Toggles - when long pressing a toggle, it will open that toggle setting screen.
Camera - added features like Sutter control, zoom in screen, adjustable brightness on screen, touch to focus and redesigned camera skin.
A whole bunch more that I'm sure I'm forgetting or don't know about.
Keep posting features below!

Dude I totally agree, this rom is just amazing it pretty much uses the same kernel As cm so u know the speed is there, it actually feels a little more fluid. And on any other rom when u go to change the lockscreen or even launcher, u have to do a little , "work" and u have to be a little tech savvy for that part, but with miui they make it so damn easy someone coming from the razor could do it LOL , and there is so much options to choose from, **** sitting on latest kernel source, voodoo, and some badass 3d animations, very cool rom oh and moshe22 when u hit back with the browser it actually goes back a page u don't have to hit it a zillion times, the volume scroll is badass

I used MIUI on my G2 or vibrant, can't quite remember. I liked it a lot, but the battery life was so poor I couldn't stick with it. How is it on our phones? I don't need 15 or 20 hours or anything, but wouldn't mind something decent.
Also, are there different ports of MIUI for our phone? If so, are they all pretty much the same? Thinking I'm gonna give MIUI another shot, but want to use the version available that will leave the best taste in my mouth.

What do you wipe?
The way I do it is: Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, /system and then flash ROM, fix permission and the enjoy
Sent From My G2x Running MIUI
yeah I wipe dalvic cache, cache, system.. multiple times just for safety, but i havnt fixed permisions.. i will search out 1.8.12 and give it a shot
Been running Miui since last August/September, whenever it was ported to Evo. Sans CM its by far the fastest, smoothest, most stable rom out there. I haven't seen any reason to switch since it was released for G2x. I'm still on 1.7.26, and dont feel the need to upgrade. Thats how good Miui is.
On my G1 I was flashing roms every day. Moved to Evo/NS and flashed once or twice a week.
On my G2x? I think I've flashed mayyybe 4 roms since 4/20. Why? Cause anything LG touches turns to poop. No offense to all the bomb devs, but CM/Miui are the only things worth running on this phone. I dont get why anyone even wants to run a stockish build when CM/Miui are so much better in every single aspect.

Whitehawkx actually specifically requested that it not be linked anywhere other than the forum it's listed in. just google whitehawkx miui and you should find it easily. I'd post the forum name but I don't want any mods here getting pissed off.

Any way to get the page in the browser to open in overview instead of zoomed in.
Also the keyboard closes just randomly... very weird. I love this rom too so far but this issue sucks..
Go to settings> programs> browser settings> Advanced> web page> page zoom setting> far

Another cool feature: press and hold down the home key, app killer and app manager will open for you, press app killer and kills anything running.
Press and hold the back key in an app and closes the app completely instead of running in the background.

Finally i make it. Try to overclock on sense 3.5 and my lovely sensation was going
in a endless shut down and reboot, shut down and reboot.
Lucky, i have made a back up of it...
but... for me was the right time to check out the "cyanogenmod" rom.
I have to say: this endless boot thing was the best wath happens to my sensation. i love it.
the only thing i dont like is the gallery from launcher pro.
here is my questen:
Is it possible to have the HTC Sense Gallery on a cyanogenmod rom?
Bricked-Kernel-AOSP|2.6.35.14|v1.4
Radio: 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01
Rom: Super Sensation - v.1.0.5
Thanks for answering.
From what I know the "Gallery" isn't from launcher and it's from AOSP itself.
and I don't think so, cause most sense stuff need the sense framework itself. Might be wrong though.
u cant cuz cm7 is asop and the gallery u want work with sense only.... i asked this question before in the mytouch 4g thread, thats the answer i got and its pretty much makes sense! yea i hate the asop gallery also i feel your pain!

noob question, but im new to the Humble rom. How do I get to the screen to delete/add home screens?
if its the stock launcher I don't think you can unless you hit the menu button and there's an option that says 'edit' or something.. I usually use 3rd party launchers with custom roms, Go Launcher and ADW being my favorites as they are very customizable and have lots of cool themes
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
Will that help my issue? All Im trying to do is make it so I can get rid of a couple home screens so I dont have 5 screens since I dont have enough icons or use for the extra two. But have the ability to add more later if I want.
nevermind, that does exactly what I need
Now I just need to find my favorite theme You have been most helpful today!

Hi all,
My question is, is it possible to change the stock look of the icons in the app drawer, I want them to look like the original icons as that show up in ADW, CM7, Sense launchers. Don't like the background square coloured box effect put by default by samsung on all icons.
I know I can use a different launcher to over come this issue but is it possible to have this mod with the stock samsung touch wiz launcher?
Using XXKMP, ext4, deodexed, CF Root & 3 other mods.
Thanks
You can do it if you mod the touchWIZ launcher apk
Is there a customised version of the touch wiz apk available for the SL? If not can someone please guide me to the guide to modify the same.

SOLVED
Have managed to remove the tiles using TW 4.5 launcher.
My post below from the following thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19296478&postcount=208
For all that are curious about touchwiz 4.5 working on our phones, it does. Just download the TW4 manager app from the thread and install, in the menu select latest check for updates & uninstall -> latest stable version, it will check and download the latest stable version and give you an option to install it to system or data, I selected system. Once done if you press the home button, you will get a option to select the launcher you want to use just as when you install custom launchers. Did not need to make any backups of the current launcher, it still works. Use a home switcher app to toggle or set to default between the TW launchers and use whichever one you want.
Have personally not used the 4 version, hence can't comment on differences, my choice was totally based on comments I read in different threads.
It works perfectly well with good customization and for me i got what I was looking for - to remove the tiles behind the icons in the app drawer. Thank God!!!
It's very smooth as well.

Unused ram is wasted ram. What do you plan to so with the unused ram? It's not there to sit and look pretty, it's meant to be used.
People also stop using task killers, they are not meant for GB, it manages itself. If you kill a program it just restarts till it's background work is done and shuts itself off. You end up using more battery just in. this process.

i know that buddy. I am trying to tell u that if u want a good launcher which will not have icon backdrop then use go launcher. Its super smooth than tw4.5. Also I am telling u to avoid tw4.5 because it will slow down ur phone. U will experience lag while doing multi tasking. I have used many launchers that why I told u. Anyway its ur choice.

Tried Go launcher, fount it to be laggy especially on home home screens changeover.
As an update, I have removed 4.5 and am currently testing the version 4, it seems alright too, definitely smoother than 4.5 but you lose out on a lot of customization and infinite loop scrolling on home screens.
