hi im not a noob to android had loads of phone but i am to sense. i dont like htc's sense for some reason such as the pagnated app drawer i want a continous ''fling'' if you get me, but anytime i change launcher i cant us the PERSONILIZE settings in the setting or htc widgets.. so my question is , is there anyway to get just a app drawer without a complete launcher or have a launcher that will allow the personilize setting to work thanks
not that i'm aware of, until rooted and roms can be pieced together. but some of the launchers are very impressive (like launcher pro myself) instead of a dedicated customize button you'l rarely use you can choose your buttons and hit menu to customize. btw, not a good idea to give out your email address to everyone in the world
Anyone figured out how to create folders within the apps drawer or at least reorganize the apps yet?
I was looking at another home launcher like GO Launcher EX, but want to really test out Sense 3.0 since I've never used it before...
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..
Hey guys, since its not possible to edit my last poll thread, im creating a new one to include more options and ICS based launchers.
I think for now im going to leave the other thread since the comments contain lots of useful information.
So like the last thread, post any pro's and con's you found on any of the launchers and the overall feel of it on your tablet.
Let the polling begin!
I think Nova runs better/smoother than apex. I know there are a couple graphical errors at the moment, but im hoping there will be a update soon seeing as i bought prime and dont want it to be a waste. I have it installed as a system app and it smooth as butter. Im usually docked, so the portrait mode layout isnt of concern for me right now.
Once they take a look at it for tablets, IT WILL DOMINATE!
Gibve a try to
Go Launcher HD Beta.....

Still liking ADW EX
I love ADW EX but with ICS there is a blue line in the horizontal on top of the screen.
Does anybody knows how to take it out???
Nova the best at the moment 4 me..

Go Launcher hd
Right now I think the most complete tablet launcher is the stock ICS launcher. Google intended to step up their game as far as interface goes and with this addition they have really made significant improvements to ease of use, beauty and the goal of eliminating the need for skins. I have played with SPB Shell, Nova, ADW and most recently the Go Launcher Beta. Of them all, I think the Go Launcher is going to eventually evolve into something pretty special due to the commitment of the developers to improve. However for now at least, I'm enjoying the stock ICS launcher (or the slightly themed Asus Launcher) as the "one" that just works and is customizable enough to meet my fickle and ever changing needs.

+1 (reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally hate the blue line, so I'm using Nova for now)
Go launcher Beta !
Nova and Apex for sure. Clean, stable, and ICS exclusive.
Go Launcher HD seems ok but it's way too early in beta to tell anything. It's not ICS exclusive. Doesn't show widgets in app drawer even though the stock ICS app drawer shows widgets. It has a special edit mode but I don't really care about it because how often would I use it anyway? It also seems bloated and take a lot of system resources. Putting icons and widgets on my screen is already easy enough.
ASUS Launcher shortcut
Hi!
I have an ASUS Transformer tablet with ICS that is setup for my work needs, which require each screen to be setup a specific way with shortcuts, etc exactly the way my job requires them to be. This isn't a great arrangement for my personal tablet use needs, so I am using Go Launcher for my custom setup.
It has been annoying to have to choose which launcher I want to use, every time I use the "Home" function, so I set Go Launcher as my default. However, I still need to use the ASUS Launcher sometimes. I know I can clear defaults for the launchers in settings, but I hope for a quicker way to load the ASUS Launcher when I need it.
I have been trying to find a shortcut for switching the launcher back and forth from the built-in ASUS Launcher, to Go Launcher EX.
I've read about a couple of apps to do that, Home Manager and Home Switcher, but the review comments for them make me very leery of trying them.
Is there a way I can have a shortcut for the ASUS Launcher on my Go Launcher Screen, so that I can just load ASUS Launcher? It seems like there should be a simpler way to switch between them without having to install yet another app.
Thanks so much for any advice you can give!

I am not sure about Go Launcher but on ADW EX you can long press then hit custom shortcuts/pick your activity /activitys scroll down to launcher and tap it then tap launcher(2.launcher) and that will create a shortcut that opens the stock launcher
Thanks so much for the response, but Go Launcher didn't include such an option...at least, not that I could find.

@Bongzilla: OK...I had been leery of using it, based on many of the reviews I read, but since you are using the same tablet as I am, I'll give it a whirl. Thanks so much!
I've been using GO Launcher EX, but I'm not entirely enamoured with it I love the transitions and the themes, but it freezes fairly often and its been reverting my wallpaper to the default every once in a while...
Been using ADW the whole time and loved it for the most part. It's not buttery smooth but that's more on my end of having way too much on hubs, changing wallpapers, widgets and such.
Seems like it's been abandoned though so I'm waiting until I get my Prime before moving Apex. Between the ones I've seen so far, I've liked Apex the best, especially over other guys like Nova and Go Launcher.
I like ADW above APEX for a few reasons.
Compatibility with Simple Text is better with ADW. Somehow APEX is cropping the icon. ALso screen size is better on ADW. With ADW you can align left, where APEX will leave a huge gap in between widget/icon and left/right side.
All in all, I like APEX more for its smoothness and simplicity. Will make a switch when screen size and icon size is changed.
Hey all,
I have noticed ever since the new update that when I have go launcher ex running as my active launcher, at times the widgets on my home screen do not update.
Funny thing is, when I auto rotate the screen and then rotate it back to normal the widgets update. I actually have to do this to update them.
Anyone else have this issue with go launcher ex? I have contacted them but they do not reply so I figured to see if anyone in here has the same issue.
I am using the stock launcher right now. The problem does not appear to happen with the stock. Any good recommendation on a launcher to use momentarily that has no issues with the new 4.0?
I have also noticed that Go SMS has issues as well, it will at times not respond. Again with the stock launcher no issues with Go SMS.
It sounds like a bug in GoLauncherEx.
Try Nova Launcher (my favorite)

Bummer.... I like go launcher ex cause they don't make me pay for the premium app to categorize my app drawer apps in folders....
I've tried Go Launcher and the Nova and I like better the Nova to ICS
