So i'm in an ICS phase right now, and I really enjoy the stock gingerbread launcher in terms of how smooth it is. I found this original GB launcher on one of the forums that's been modified previously before.
I took the liberty of theming the bottom bar to match more closely to ICS. I'm not sure how many will actually use this launcher as it doesn't have much functionality, but it does give you that feeling of AOSP with a hint of ICS.
Therefor i thought i'd post it as my first contribution to XDA.

Using CM7; is it possible to use the touchwiz calendar and clock apps and load them into CM7?
The alarm clock on the CM7 ROM is not as good as the Touchwiz one. The calendar is also a little better on the touchwiz vs. AOSP/CM7 one...
Does CM7 have touchwiz?
Nope, Cm7 is based on aosp, touch wiz is a samsung exclusive thing.
also there is an entire sticky devoted to cm7 questions. didn't really need a new thread...
tw widgets need tw launcher running even on stock roms. as far as the apps i think they need tw framework to run in the first place. not sure though. basically get over the aosp thing and hop on the jvb bandwagon. ideal and beliefs aside there are reasons that the whole comunity didnt flash cm7 and start building aosp spin offs. some the the touch wiz software is very user friendly and not quite as ugly as the aosp versions.
As stated in the title I found a interesting Launcher today browsing through the market, heres a link
https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNuLnl1bm1haS5jY2xhdW5jaGVyIl0.
It operates very similar to like ICS 4.0, issues I found with this launcher though is that it has very little to no customization. If someone here with the skills, talent and know how would like to take on the task on editing this Launcher like for example adding or deleting pages, adding or removing the 3D option, adding scrollable widget support and change icon support that would be great.
I don't know one thing about editing stuff like this or working on apps but I'm sure someone here does and would like to see a great working ICS launcher on devices working on Gingerbread and lower.
This launcher has a lot of potential because it is the first launcher to work very similar to ICS 4.0 down to the app drawer screen transition to the Holo effect on the main screen and it works on Gingerbread and lower devices while Nova launcher, Apex launcher and Trebuchet only work on ICS.
Anyways just my 2 cents here, have a good day everyone..
So whats the best MIUI rom for the nexus s samoled??
I really like the stock look on orginal ics 4.0.4, but the battery life doesnt satisfy me enought.. So if i choose a miui rom based on 2.3.6 instead of 4.0 versions of miui, is the battery going to be better??
And i would really like to have example 1, 2. 3, top miui roms
Would really appriciate it
I've been sticking to MIUIEXPERIENCE since it has the Xperia launcher included in the ROM. Most MIUI roms don't have a launcher so there is no app drawer.
Since MIUI sticks to the Apple interface, you won't have a launcher in the rom. If you choose Catalyst or Oodie Prime, which are just as well put together, you can download ZEAM launcher form the market or any other launcher if you prefer the app drawer.
Also, all MIUI roms have an app called Themes that comes with it. You use this app to download hundreds of different layouts and icons, including ICS themes.
Hi,
I've never been into changing launchers as I've heard that it has a negative effect on battery life. What I really want is to get is the something thats as light as vanilla ICS on the galaxy Nexus. What launcher/theme can do this, without having an effect on battery?
Hi mate, are you using a Samsung ROM? Because obviously they have TouchWiz and all of Samsung's style all over them (not for me AT ALL). The closest you can get to vanilla ICS is an AOSP ROM (CM9 or similar) and using the stock theme and launcher (varies from ROM to ROM, its usually Trebuchet though).
I'm personally using Staxx's latest PARANOIDANDROID build, with the ICS Fixer theme (free on the market) and Apex launcher with the stock launcher frozen via Titanium Backup. No battery drain whatsoever from Apex and the ICS Fixer theme just uses the stock Ice Cream Sandwich theme with everything (pop-ups, menus, progress bars etc.) themed to suit Android 4.0. Looks great + has fantastic battery life in my opinion
Hope that helps you out.

Nova Launcher and Apex are good, but only if you are willing/able to pay for them as without the upgrade they can't even show you unread notifications (something that for me is a must within any launcher).
Iwas not a fan of HTC Sense before, but I love the new version. What really bothers me though, is all the wasted blank space on my 4x4 homescreen, plus it looks really weird.
I have searched the forum, and have not found any Rosie.apk 4x5 mod for HTC Sense 4.1 on the One S. I have tried a few made for other phones, but no luck.
I then followed the guide to decompile rosie.apk, made the right edits, recompiled it, but my modded apk does not work.
Would a kind soul be able to this for me?
Would like this, too
I'd like to see this as well. *fingers crossed*

I've found a mod in the sensation thread and works on viper, but the 4x4 widgets don't look good

This.. so much this. Preferably as a universal Mod for any Sense ROM. The weird wasted space almost makes me want to use a different launcher on top of Sense instead.
ilboapie: how did you get that zip to install, both versions failed in TWRP.
Also, an AOSP style Dialer / Contacts for Sense would be great as well.
