Further, it has to carrying MiLocker.MiHomw the operation can be considered smooth, but significantly less than the setting on the Launcher comprehensive, whether it is the Home screen, the Dock, as well as Widget relatively simple.

I've just become the proud owner of a Nexus S. Stock it has 5 home pages, but I know that Android in general will support 7. I can't find an option for updating this on the Nexus S with 2.3.1
Anyone?
It depends on the launcher you're using. If you're using the stock launcher, you'll be limited to 5 home screens. You can download ADW, or Launcher Pro. ADW seems to have more customizations.
Real stock Android 2.3 is 5 homescreens only, you can not change it. HTC Sense UI can do 7.
If you want more, your option is to use a 3rd party launcher like ADW.Launcher
-Nexus S
And if you really like ADW Launcher, try out ADW Launcher EX.. it's even better
All I want is the basic Android launcher, but with seven screens. I have a launcher apk, but it was for 2.2 and I'm very unsure if I can use it now.
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.
I'm using CM10 at my device, nightly 24/09, with Nemus Launcher.
Nightly 12/09 were working fine at wallpapers, but when I updated for 24/09 I no more could to use live wallpapers, there isn't option for such. I was using HD Ocean wallpaper, between others live wallpapers.
Nemus Launcher doesnt manage wallpapers, it leaves such a task charged to the OS. GO Launcher was heavy when I upgraded from Gingerbread for CM10 at my Motorola Defy+ (before 1GHz, now 1.2GHz). I dont tested whether GO Launcher is until heavy with last nightly, but I'm wanting a light launcher, however with folders organization at the drawer of apps and wallpaper management.
Any suggestion?
Nova launcher
hi
I've been using Nova Launcher (see market)
Haven't tried Apex yet.
There is premium version of Nova launcher which allows you to use gestures as well.
best of luck!
I read the description of Nova Launcher Prime, it says:
"Nova Launcher Prime unlocks the following features in Nova Launcher:
Drawer Groups:
Folders in App Drawer
Unlimited custom tabs
Organize apps into tabs and folders in the app drawer.
Gestures
....
Hide Apps
...
Dock Swipes
...
Therefore, only Nova Launcher Prime can satisfy the features I want, but I have pay for it. I will consider the changing for Nova Launcher.
Nightly ROM of 24/09 is drainning the battery. For the first time since bought my Defy+ the battery discharged fully, Im considering to regress for 12/09 ROM.
Thanks nserver!:good:

Nova > Apex..
Nova Launcher isn't able install live wallpapers over current ROM.
Neither Go Launcher is able. Live wallpaper option is unavailable on all launchers already tested with current ROM. So I tried set a live Go Wallpaper, then Go Launcher displayed a message saying my device doesn't support live wallpapers and what I should upgrade firmware.:crying:
Waiting for a new ROM by Quarks...

i took a look at that unity launcher and i think it looks pretty great. im going to buy it soon to check it out. on that note, there are 2 other similar apps that i HAVE tried
Swipepad- you can set up a gird of up to 3x4 apps and choose a part of the screen youd like to swipe from. although it sounds limited, you can actually have different content in each grid, with up to 9 grids. which gives enough room for 108 apps. it also has 3 addons, but those are all paid. one lets you access contacts and recent tasks when you swipe the action area. one addon lets you launch/activate widgets. the last addon lets you get up to 6x4 grids, doubling your total app size.
Swipepad (Free for app, addons cost)
Relauncher- i didnt like this one as much size it was TOO all inclusive. also allows you to swipe from a desired spot. once you do, you have several categories, but the category icons are all lined up on the side like unity. You can rearrange what category you want what apps in. The apps show up in a "grid" format. but relauncher learns your behavior. the more you use an app FROM relauncher, the closer it will get to the edge of the screen so that your swipes arent so large. unfotunately, i have 250+ apps at any given time, and this just looks messy and feels clunky. but i can assure it works well. relauncher is free, but does have a nag-pop-up. in order to get rid of the nag, you have to buy the key. dev is promising more "pro" only updates in the future, but there is currently no extra features
Relauncher (free, pro key available)
Miui is best launcher no lag hit thanks :thumbup:
