CM7 Launcher

Does anybody know which launcher is cooked into cm7? I thought it was ADWlauncher but it must be highly customized cause the version on the market sucks compared.

Yup. its a tweeked up version of ADW.

Thanks, it makes the market version (even ex) look/feel like crap.

Yup. One of the many benefits of having CyanogenMod.

I dared to go to another ROM, that lasted 5 hours.

It uses AWD Launcher, but I don't know if it makes the EX version feel like crap because when I first flashed CM7 which was in nightly 124, the menu was real laggy, which made me try out AWD Launcher EX and after that it was running perfectly smooth.

I've had both and imo the paid version should have features the included version has like hiding the background on the main dock or removing the ALL catagory or even swiping side to side to change catagories while in the app drawer. CM7 version has these, ADWlauncher Ex does not (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm on Nightly 154 and everything runs so smooth and fast.
CM7 is only steps from becoming Stable. Nightly 160 will be up tonight which will have A2DP enabled.

I prefer to get launcher pro because its smoother for me and try to make it look exactly like the froyo launcher that comes with the phone. Does anyone know how to get that launcher on cm7?

What launcher are you using

I recently updated to 2.3.5 and of course its not the best launcher or even close .now i'm using zeam launcher and its snappy and clean, what are you guys using
Sent from my SCH-I510

I use Launcher Pro, works nicely for what I need it for.
Only issue is I get FC's every time I reboot my phone. Anyone else see this issue?

I use launcher pro plus, it works the best for me, and it is very customizable.
No force close for me.

Go Launcher here.. it doesn't have the biggest category of themes but is simple and stable which works for me

Its always redrawing and I hate that. And it hasn't been updated in a long time

I use ADW EX. I used to use Zeam because it uses the least resources but I like some of the added features in ADW EX.

Mine does the same thing on a reboot (has done it with three different ROMs) but other than that it works perfectly. INsTANT response & absolutely no redraw issues whatever.
I won't use anything else.

I use Golauncher with their Transparency themed widgets.

Go Launcher EX

I liked Zeam, but then I tried QQ Launcher and I've stayed with it.

Another vote for Go Launcher EX, been great on EP3HA.
No redraws at all.

Go launcher. I've used LPP, ADW and Go, and I like Go the best. All three are good in different ways.

TW4 launcher from an old Eclipse rom. I love the way it looks.

launcher pro.

Launcher [request]

Is there any way someone can port touchwiz 4.0 from the T-Mobile galaxy s 2 to work with our kj6 roms? (Valahalla, octane v3, etc). I know about touchwiz 4.5 but its very unstable on my phone for some reason and its app sorting in the app drawer does not work. I love how smooth tw4 is compared to others like launcher pro and adw and I just think it looks soo much better. I appreciate it if anyone can help. I'm sure other memebers would like this as well. Thanks!

Follow the instructions and it will work.
Furthermore, I'm running Valhalla- it comes with this launcher, the modified touchwiz 4, on there. You do not need this for valhalla.

That's tw4.5 though..... it has made my phone reboot ever since froyo days. Whenever I do something ram intensive on that launcher, my phone reboots. I never experience that with others like launcher pro. And how the app drawer doesn't sort properly is a pain. Thanks for the help though..

Actually I made the cwm zip from an apk I found while googling for touch wiz 4.0 apk lol it worked so I thought it was worth posting. I've never used 4 or 4.5 and I got the wrong one, lol sorry for the confusion. It was mislabeled and I have no experience with the either of them. Sorry for getting confused guys ill try to find 4.0 tonight again lol

The 4.5 comes from the fact that it was a modified version of 4. This launcher automatically comes configured with the stay in ram feature selected- it's been awhile but I am sure that Launcherpro has that feature as well, but it is by default off. Try disabling that and see if it just fc's the launcher (thus resulting in a restart of the launcher) as opposed to your phone crashing. Thats really the only thing that would separate it from other launchers. You can turn the 3d effects off as well to help with the ram. I always make sure to kill passive processes- then again I do not use octane so I am not sure how it runs.
I never had problems with the app drawer. You can change the sorting preferences in the preferences menu of the launcher. It is by default on unrestricted, but you can change it to alphabetical.

I tried turning that off, launcher won't even open anymore so I had to reinstall it. Tried running it for a day but it just doesn't work on my phone which is currently running valahlla final. I have the app drawer set to alphabetical but it still doesn't sort properly. If I install a lot of new apps or delete a lot of apps, there are lots of blank spaces and the only way to get rid of the spaces is to manually move each app one by one which is really a big pain. I just want stock touchwiz 4. I hope someone can get it to work on this phone. After playing with my brother's galaxy s 2, none of the launchers on the market feel anywhere close to that smooth.

Yeah go launcher is pretty good. Still isn't as fast as launcher pro though. I really wish we had a stock touchwiz 4 launcher for this phone. Tw4.5 freezes too much and no other launcher out there really comes close to how fluid tw4 is. I've tried like every launcher in the market too.

Why are you resurrecting old threads and posting the same thing in each one?

Apex, Trebuchet, Nova or Holo?

What ICS launcher are you all using/which do you prefer? I tried out Nova and Apex for a little bit, and I have to say that I prefer Apex.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Isn't apex just for ics? Or is it usable with cm9 and aokp?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

They both are very good I usually use apex but I'm on nova cuz of the folder icon called platform and its more stable for me anyway but apex has themes out now also
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

I used Nova for a long time on my Nexus S. It's nice and customizable. It did lag on me but very rarely. It also looks higher quality than any other in my opinion.
Now i use the stock ICS Launcher.

trebuchet.

I'm using APEX, and it's been working fine for me.

Probably trebuchet since it's got the least features of them all. It comes by default on aokp.

Whoops I meant default for cm9.

I like Holo a lot. Seems to be a good mixture of features and mem size. Haven't tried out Apex though.

Nova FTW!

Trebuchet is so smooth.

I tried nova but so many things require you to purchase the full version. I prefer apex its damn near the same as adw ex.

I'm using Apex right now - I decided to simplify the phone a bit and use something other than GO Launcher for a while. I'm liking Apex quite a bit so far - smooth and light, and with just enough customization options in the free version.

And you can use your go themes on apex.

Trebucket and then Apex

use Holo, simple, easy backup and restore across GB, CM7 and CM9 roms

I feel Apex is easiest to use with most free features, while Nova just provides a better feel.

Touchwiz apex/nova theme

I found this in Play Store, and it works great on my nova launcher. This theme will make changes to your icons to look like the S3. It also has a lot of good looking wallpapers too. I am using on aokp rom. Just wanted to share this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photox.touchwhiz

Does anybody have the apkfile of that cuz my Gio bugs around with downloading it from playstore. It always stops downloading at a random percent, Im using Android 4.2.2 CM 10.1
I hope someone can give it to me Thanks

I had the same problem on CM10, I just disabled the download manager, started it back up, and it started acting right again. I'm not sure if that's what helped or not. Lol
