So if your tired of the same old boring launchers, which don't really change much except a few options, here is a launcher that is completely different from all the others: SS Launcher.
Flip through your screens like a magazine, accessing your apps, contacts, bookmarks, and whatever else you would like, since you can customize it to your hearts content.
I had a fun time playing with it.
To be honest, I'm back on the 360 launcher. but I'm keeping this launcher for when I get tired of the same old, same old.
You should really give it a try.
It definitely something different and refreshing:

Tried it. Really original and fine.
I just found a bug, maybe.
On the contacts page, if I go to settings/page settings and I uncheck "show no number", of course a phone number appears above the contact name. BUT, if I want to cancel this option and check now "show no number", the phone number still appears, even after a reset of the launcher, even after uninstall/reinstall! (and no folder on sdcard...)
Strange, no?

You misunderstood it. That option is to show/hide contacts which has no phone number (for example : contact has only address, email... but doesn't have phone number)

Is there any dialer app which resembles the SE 2.1 dialer app (with dialer, call log, contacts and favourites, and allows to add new contacts directly, etc)?
I have just found Youlu. Looks nice. Any other ideas?
I am using "Dialer One" and it is good.
youlu address book......it's the besttttttttttttt
I installed youlu yesterday and today have deleted all other phonebook/dialer/calllog applications. Youlu no doubt is excellent and has a cool widget too.
I also like the youlu dialer, but there is one problem.
Because I wanted to fix my lowres contact pictures, I have linked all pictures to my facebook account and until now I have not found any app that can show these pics.
I don't want to change the pictures for +200 contacts again to use this app.
Is there anyone who has found a different dialer app that can show the facebook pictures ?

I'm enjoying Youlu too. However, I have a problem. When I dial a number ou select a contact in it, it opens SE blue background dialer. Should it be like that?

You can set the facebook pictures directly to your contacts with syncmypix. Then every phonebook will show them. The app also has a high res setting.

No, it shouldn't be like that.
Delete the defaults for Youlu (in Settings->Applications->Management) and repeat the action, when prompted select Youlu as default.

2.1 dialer is the best, I really don't understand why they abandoned it.
Early apologies if this is in the wrong section but i couldnt find anything when i tried searching this topic.
Anyway, my old htc phones (windows mobile), the screen would turn on and i would get a preview of a text i just received.
on the inspire, the screen remains off even though the notification noises and vibrations play.
is there any way to make the screen turn on as well ?
it drives me nutts that i cant just glance at my phone!! i have to turn it on then do the unlocking, etc.
any help is much appreciated!
I don't know about the stock HTC SMS app but there's an option for this in GoSMS. I highly recommended it.
Or you can try sms popup.

Handcent has screen wake option. And it by far is better than stock messaging app anyway, a billion options to use.

Can't get into handset, it just looks too ugly - even with the skins.
They need to update handcrnt for higher resolution/larger displays.

Handcent, second to none for SMS!
thanks a lot guys!
i will definitely try out the apps you've mentioned.
umm?
im loving go sms pro. very clean interface.
however, i accidentally deleted some text messages.
and i dont see a deleted items folder.
is there any way to recover deleted texts??
another vote for handcent here..
Go SMS Pro seems pretty promising thus far. I hated Handcent because of the overall 'old' feel and sluggish performance. Go SMS was a little laggy but I bumped the performance down to the "middle" level and it seems to work quite well now.

If you didn't use the backup that Go SMS offers I don't think you can get them back. Maybe they're hidden somewhere but I wouldn't know how to go about finding them.
If you don't want to change messaging apps, you might want to look at SMSawake or SMS Screen WakeUp.
I'm using Chomp SMS. Let's you preview text and lot's of other options.
I like Android but i hate the widgets and the Homescreen, i don't need them. So i like the apple surface. Is there a launcher/hack to show always the app surface/drawer/app depot? I use.the go launcher and if it's possible i will use it further more.
Thx a lot!!!

Why not just resize your homescreen grid to hold more apps and put all your apps on scrollable homescreens? With adw you can even make the dock disappear all together to make more room for app icons.

For.example the go launcher has a perfect app depot with recently used apps and running apps in tab style thats what i love and want.

Use ADW or LauncherPro and change settings so it won't close App Drawer when you open a new app.
Check if MIUI is available for your device, its does not have a app draw.

I suggest the same. also set number of home screens to (1). plus since you don't like the home screen, change the settings so that when you press the home button it pulls up your app drawer.

@fifarunnerr: Can you tell me the exactly option?
@kylec: LOL
@Mylenthes: Didn´t you read my first post? I like android, but i like the iphone appearance and the GoLauncher has additionally a super Tab-styled surface --> I have the Galaxy Tab with Android 2.3.3, The GoLauncher installed and now i want reduce it to the Drawer/App Depot
@Nexus 4G: The same like fifarunnerr. There isn´t a option except "Open/Close the App drawer" but i want only "Open the app drawer".
Thx a lot

Dude seriously you are retarded if you have a large screen tab and can't figure this out with the multitude of options at your disposal. This is either a troll thread from a bored individual or you really are clueless. Even after members here give you seven different options you just keep on asking?

@OP- I'm not sure you really have an option... Even if u switched to miUI, u would have several homescreens instead of one app drawer. Your going to have to sacrifice. and yes the open/close app drawer is the option I were referring too. I've never seen a rom/preference to completely remove your home screens... Sry bredrin )-:

I have lost an app when moving it to the trash can by mistake and tapping Cancel. Goto Settings, Applications and force stop it. Then restart vLauncher and the app should be back. I would like to see the developer pick this app up and do some updating.

I have the Verizon S7 and noticed when selecting default apps for browser, pics, video there seems to be no option for "Always" and "Just once". It's a small thing, but always like the popup with options. Any other carrier have this issue?

Hey, after some digging I found some other Note users had this problem and use the app called "Better Open With" from the play store. Set that app as the default and it'll be a popup with choices again. Samsung tried to make this phone like Apple, we had freedom of choice dammit!
Great find! That app is the answer.

Unfortunately "Better Open With" only partially solves the problem. It has a limited set of intents it listens too an misses many others. For instance if you attempt to send an email from a non-email application "Better Open With" does not show up in the list and you get the default behavior. I reached out to the author of "Better Open With" to see if he wants to open source the application so I can help to extend it. If he does not I'll have to come up with my own solution.
is Better open w/? the only solution for defaults? i've downloaded/installed it, but it never pops up.
How do we " Set that app as the default and it'll be a popup with choices again. "
Thanks

Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications -> Set as default - Locate the application currently set as the default for whatever you are trying to open and choose the "Clear Defaults" button. Now when you attempt to open the file you'll see the chooser again and can select Better Open With.
Just got an ota software update for my international g930f. Browsed around phone settings and found that the app default options r now there. I cleared all app defaults and now when I click for an external link, I get the just once or always option now.

Looks like they changed it to PIN TO TOP. Select your person from text app, tap on menu on top right, now look at the bottom for the feature. Think of Twitter pins.
Your pinned texting contacts won't be listed horizontally, just at the top of you list.
I'm on Tmobile note 7, it it makes a difference
Hate that they removed this feature. Pin to top doesn't work for me cause if I get 4 messages I don't even the last message unless I scroll down. I'm now missing that I got a text if I get to many at once. I get allot due to work and PS was a blessing for me. I hate the new app now
