Hi guys,
I just move in to MIUI and I like its features, like Toggles and Dialer, and some Apps, like MIUI Music.
But I REALLY miss my gingerbread launcher, with that 3D effect and everything.
I have a Nexus S, and I tried the gingerbread launcher available on the market, but none of them worked (I cannot open the drawer, maybe some lib missing).
Does anyone know how can I get that effect or that launcher in MIUI Rom? I dont like Iphone like launcher everytime.
Thanks guys
Have you tried LauncherPro or ADW, both free in the market and have the 3d settings for the drawer.
Both adw and launcher pro work perfect with miui. I'm using adw ex and miui on my desire right now.

Anyone else have a rooted phone but not a new rom and use a custom launcher?
I have tried most of them, but have narrowed it down to Zeam(which i use on my nook color) or Go launcher - what are your favorites? I like the theme options on Go.

What does a new ROM have to do with a custom launcher?
I use LauncherPro. I've heard positive things about GO and ADW.
Nothing specific just that I wanted to make it obvious I do not have a custom rom as sometimes that will change the basic home screen anyway.

Yeah the ROM will also have a custom launcher, but if you put another custom launcher, it will look the same as without the ROM. Doesn't matter if you're rooted, either.
Im using stock deodexed rooted with launcher pro

LauncherPro has been the most stable and snappy for me.

i started using MXHome, it is a regular launcher for the most part with some really nice features. A full 3d home cover along with what MX is calling a "smart" appdrawer. It allows you to put your apps in alphabetical, sort by category and other options. I am currently using the glass theme and it is really nice. Check out this vid on YouTube to see some of it's features in action:

I like this look.
I prefer Go Launcher with the themes and app drawer transition effects and that it has running apps and recent apps tabs in the app drawer.
Using zeam launcher, very nice app and low memory use

Using Zeam Launcher for low memory foot print, and has most of the functions Launcher Pro has.
Go Launcher is no doubt my favorite, nice simple features...everything seems to make sense....and that's after trying Zeam, Launcher Pro, SPB (another favorite but I get tired of the flashiness after a while), and adw is nice also.
Hello,
I did the update yesterday as a LPY stock, but I would change the density in 240.
Unfortunately the original application does not change in size and are very small.
How can i do?
Thank you.
It seems that people who tried this had a bootloop. . .
Oh i just posted the same questions

I've got mine set to 240 dpi with launcher7 launcher. Touchwiz will not rescale unfortunately. I've set the one handed operation in settings to on which displays dialer correctly again. Unfortunately you'll need alternatives for most touchwiz based apps.
PS.... Initially tried 160 spin but causes most apps and ui to fc.

hello,
you can test "exDialer & contacts" (with theme ics as new dialer and Apex (or Nova) to replace Touchwiz.
I was one of those who got major problems replacing the apps. I don't recommend it. Just use exdialer for now

i would like to ask if there is possibility to remove icon background of apps icon.
for easy understanding, please refer to the image below.
i would like to remove the white background on that facebook icon.
is there any possible way?
Im running 2.3.4 GB
Iphone 4s Clone (fruitphone?) Mtk6573
thanks!
this depends on where the background comes from. sometimes it's just an icon theme in the launcher. so you could just try to use a different theme or launcher.
but sometimes it's also in the rom. when there's no setting for themes/icons you have to search for a custom rom / mod with different icons or a setting to change them.
That's a launcher issue, to help make the iphone clone appear more like an iphone.
Just download a new launcher

You mean... if you install go launcher or adw or holo launcher, it doesn't give you an option to use that as the default?
The homescreen is a launcher, just the system launcher

Hi I just picked up a new CX-803 II and found that anytime I install a new launcher or video player act. I do not get the option to change the default app even if I try to force the change in apex launcher ect. The option won't pop up and it drops back to the home screen to further annoy the launcher resets the wallpaper to the one included in its themes anytime the stick is restarted. Can this be changed/fixed?.

For changing the launcher try "home switcher" app.

Unortunately I already have done, it seems that this stick has disabled the ability to switch "intent" apps, like video/music players, launchers ect. i'm not sure if there is a way to re-enable it. I picked this device because it has 2GB of onboard ram on it and and external antenna, but not being able to switch launchers or even have it use my own wallpapers is a real drag. almost wondering that if there's no way to fix it if swapping out the launchers apk with a different one would work or if it would just brick it.
it's funny that this thing comes rooted out of the box but doesn't allow changing of default apps.
Well with some experimenting I was able to change the launcher by placing a copy of trebuchet in system/apps rebooting using launcher changer to set trebuchet as default and then renaming the default launchers extension to .bak. This doesn't address the bigger problem of not being able to change the default intent apps though.
But it is nice to have my aquarium live wallpaper as the background on my TV now
