I was wondering if anybody knows if there is a way to enable vertical scrolling in the app drawer on the stock blurhome launcher? I love the speed/stability of the stock launcher but the horizontal scrolling drives me nuts!!:banghead:

I agree. I hate the horizontal scrolling. I would try another launcher. Most are much better anyways, many people like go launcher, I prefer launcherpro.

I think he was referring only to the STOCK launcher. Not Go, not ADW, not LauncherPro...
but to answer your question, you might post this in development and someone might be able to make a custom ROM for you. I dunno...I have my phone themed towards ICS...that's how I don't deal with it. But i do really like MotoBlur.

I know. I was just saying maybe he should try out the other launchers, since this may not be possible

Thanks for the replys guys. I have tried those other launchers and the best by far imo is launcher pro. But its still not quite as smooth as stock blurhome.

i see you have not tried ADW EX !
OP the Font is fracking UGLY
swapped fonts and launcher you fargon bastages!
UPLOADING NOW! Give it a FEW!
Most people who don't like adw don't really know how to use it.
i hear ya!
Thanks, I hope recognized, the main function can be used normally
It would be nice to have a listing of what works and what doesn't work so folks don't have to refer back to another thread.
ADW EX FTW, everyone should try that
ADW Ex is a paid app on the market. Do you have permission from AnderWeb to include it in the ROM?
I would remove that paid app. thats pretty messed up bro.

yes. ADW is the closest as you can get to stock. modify the settings, i have it on 4D vertical and never noticed lag
Well, using the 4d setting grants me a choppy version of the stock drawer...
May I ask why all launchers modify the drawer, why not let it be?

Sorry for my blunt response. I was thinking of launcher pro's 3d app drawer which is as smooth and graphically close to stock 2.3 as possible. But I forgot that it does not run smooth on the nexus s. I had it on my nexus one.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I've practically tried all ROM's and kernels possible, not for this purpose though. And no matted what I used, the ADW drawer is choppy. And then I go back to stock launcher or replace ADW when on CM, and it's always incredivbly smooth...
So I guess there isn't a way to use stock drawer with ADW? And if that's the case, why?

From what the Op described, there's nothing wrong with his phone. Mine is the same way with adw, and what he's experiencing is a well known issue with adw itself.

I have yet to have any difficulties with ADW. It has been smooth as butter since day one.
But the world isn't revolved around me.
So there is no way to modify ADW to make it use stock drawer instead of the one in ADW?

Maybe you can contact the developer of ADW? That might help
Hi quick question is it possible for these phones to use vanilla or sense roms? and if so would someone be willing to make one Froyo or GB?
because personally I hate T-wiz and I use ADW with every rom so far but I would love to have a vanilla ROM I know Sense is HTC just dont know if these things are even possible
hey! this topic has been addressed a lot of times and other threads discuss this.
basically, its very difficult to port over sense because it is completely different than tw. its not really worth the dev's time in some cases, but there are other options, like themes for launchers that are nice. beautiful widgets is nice for the clock and since you like adw, you can get a theme, or look into go launcher. that is a very flexible launcher.

ok but what about Vanilla? and if this is posted somewhere else i havent seen it sorry about that. I have Fancy Pro with ADW ex (Also have Launcher Pro just dont like it as much so I dont install it) and I am able to make it look stock but would just prefer stock rather than having 2+ launchers
If you don't like the launchers, flash to icbinb. And get the theme. It had a cool launcher that I think you will like. try out zeam launcher as well if you get a chance. It's very minimalistic and works great. You can delete tw completely once you get another launcher.

nope, can use adw launcher ex? upgraded one to get few more things. Best thing to do is delete the bloatware you dont want/need to make it as stock as possible.
what do you mean by "nope"?
and you can use any launcher. install one and then delete twlauncher via titanium. look into sweet acid theme, it has a nice launcher

I can't fully answer this question, but if you want a Vanilla FEEL, then yes, it's definitely possible. Just download the Gingerbread launcher from the market. It'll give you a Vanilla feel.
Hey guys, now that ICS has escaped for us, don't forget to pickup your nexus-esque styled launcher. This only works for ICS roms, no GB allowed. The forum reference link is below. Please note that its better to install from /system/app folder (push it or drop it with root explorer). All you need is in the thread. My appologies if this is better suited to general - but it came from Android Dev thread.

Enjoy, it works really great and gives that "AOSP" experience.
Nova launcher works just as well

True true. But we're all way too excited about this unexpected ICS release (well, not really unexpected in general just unexpected today), so I say we let this one slide.
With the standard Touchwiz launcher it just doesn't feel like ICS--this launcher helps!
Thanks for the tip on Apex Launcher!
has any body tried to use the Galaxy Nexus stock launcher, or are things too different to work correctly?
Tried both Apex and Nova, not sure which I like more yet, or if I really care for a launcher at all.
But what I really want is something to modify the notification bar, I really want the blue wireless/batter/time indicators.
Any way to accomplish this?

Nova screwed up all my widget sizes.
And wouldn't let me long-press my desktop to add folders, so no Pandora folder allowed. I really liked the drawer animation though.
I can't remember why I didn't like Apex.
I'm back to ADW EX launcher.
Apex is awesome. Looks just like stock with all kinds of extra options. The Tablet-style page transition animation looks slick. Being able to save and restore my desktop helps when flashing new ROMs, too.
I don't like those skinnable launchers like ADW. No offense to the people that work hard on them, but themes almost always look cheesy, and AOSP ICS looks sleek and tasteful.
What do you guys think the best theme from adw ex is, I like the minimalists

This may be what you're looking for. Just flash the zip in cmw recovery and your set, it also includes a 14 toggle mod. Let me know if you like it, looks great on my SR. Hope this helps....

Same here.
Turning off all animations in Developer Settings should help.
It looks like much of the lag is from animations being choppy.
Wasted 10 precious seconds of my life by reading this
replacing the launcher doesn't take the lag away from switching between apps and unlocking the screen. I still notice the slight lag
