Alternative to Desk Migrate - General Questions and Answers

Does anyone know of any alternatives to desk migrate? I looked through the market and couldn't find anything. Would be nice if someone could come up with something similar that actually worked with most/ more launchers.

I'd appreciate app like this too

I need too

without knowing what these widgets are exactly, i would imagine that they are part of that particular launcher. Launcher Pro has its own version of the messaging widget, and the official facebook app has its own widget also. i dont think it is possible, or at least very easy to migrate launcher specific widgets to other launchers. hope that helps.

They are Launcher Pro X widgets. I like the layout of them and wondered if there were any similar, apart from the official FB app or Handcent app (pop up) which I am currently using. I would use Pro launcher but I prefer the ADW launcher EX ui.

Try Pure Messenger Widget from the market (paid), but similar to the LPP widget
I was looking around for something like this too, I don't need to use lpp anymore because 2.2 stock launcher is pretty much the exact way I had it setup
let me know if ya see something

I've been using Colorize Widgets for a month now and I have to report that they look and work great!
You are right, an all in one widget would be cool, but as far as the widget size is concerned, most launchers nowadays let you resize,
so that would not be an issue.
Robbyf56 thanks for the link. This is exactly what I was looking for. Sorry it wasn't what you wanted.

I think you can't use these kind of widgets in combination with an alternative launcher. HTC Sense widgets only work, if you use the Sense launcher.
But maybe I'm wrong, that would be great I would also love to see the Social+ widget in combination with my LauncherPro.
I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts, liked it way better than any of the other social networking widgets. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
I use Zeam launcher and cant use it either. I dont mind the LG launcher but i prefer having my screen 5 icons wide

Can you restore apex_data to nova launcher

Hello,
I just wanted to ask if someone ever tried to restore apex_data (renamed so it fits to nova) into nova launcher. the data file stores the homescreen layout and since this is the same in both launchers i was wondering if it could work?
Reason why im asking is that im using apex launcher right now and i want to try nova but i do not want to put all the apps back on their screen position...
Cheers
Matt
not possible.. However you can use an app called desk migrate.. it is used to migrate home screen settings from one launcher too other.. it works on go launcher.. don't know if it works with other launcher too.. you can give it a try..
Sent from my fingers to your face using xda premium.!
At least on my GB phone desk migrate worked perfectly to get the Homescreens of the other launchers.
But havent tested it on ICS so far.
I have yet to get DeskMigrate to do anything in ICS. I've like to copy LauncherPro's desktops to Apex or Nova, but it does nothing. Offers which launcher to copy from, and that's it.
i guess nova settings can be restored in apex

Best Launcher

After witnessing the beauty of the stock Jelly Bean launcher on a relative's Nexus 7, I am desperate to get this on my Samsung Galaxy Note (as I personally do not see £200 GBP as a worthy investment for a mere 1.7" extra screen real-estate). Consequently, I am looking for a near-stock Jelly Bean launcher with capabilities to resize widgets to accommodate the extra space on this device's screen. I'd also prefer for the S-Memo widgets, such as the quick access bar, to actually work (Apex cuts off the edge of this widget). Nova is pretty good, but it doesn't seem all that smooth at time. So, anyone know of a launcher which fits this criteria but is also relatively smooth?
EDIT: Apex and Nova are okay, but I do not want to have to pay for unread notifications!
Any ideas?

Try Adw ex launcher. Runs really smooth as long as you use the default theme
Edit: sorry forgot you wanted a free launcher . But it's well worth buying

You can't go wrong with Holo Launcher, quick and highly customisable plus the Holo Lock Screen is the new Jellybean one.

Try atom launcher really very very nice and fresh.......

Nova Launcher, all Widgets are resizable, great dev. Holo is a good one as well but I still prefer Nova.. good luck.
Sent From My Paranoid Note Baby!!
1. Nova Launcher.
2. Apex Launcher or Atom Launcher
All mentioned launchers don´t support S-Memo widget, that OP wants to use.
Besides TW i don´t know any launcher that supports it.
sorry Brad, you cant have everything atm. if u want to use S-widgets, then its TW for you, if u want to resize, then its something else like Atom etc etc

Frustrated
Installed Holo Launcher as I really like this setup - but, I cannot add weather / clock widgets..
No more room on home screen?
What Grid settings are people using for this??
Weather works now but no clock!
+1 for nova launcher

I use Nova launcher now, as it allows me to adjust the widget sizes so that I can make all my widgets fit the extra width of the Note (I am OCD like that).

Same does Apex.
Apex gets my vote as the smoothest. Nova is good just not as good. Others are interesting like SS launcher and TSF but I am too lazy to learn those.

Splay Launcher Alternative?

Ever since the Splay Launcher update where it can't actually be used as a launcher anymore, there's no point in using it anymore. Are there any alternatives that are similar to Splay? Thanks!
