nexus launcher other than helix?

is there a nexus one type launcher that will work on a 2.1 rom? something other than helix or launcher2? im looking for just a 3-5 screen plain launcher.

Helix can do 3-5 screens and is pretty plain.

yeah i don't like helix, the launcher tab is too small and you cant minimize the drawer without hitting the back button.

Why dont you just take one of the many Android launchers and skin it to look like a Nexus launcher? Then it looks exactly how you want it, and its completely stable...

what app fc the launcher. lol i havent had a single anything go wrong with it. the fact that its an modd com.android.launcher... makes it far more stable then a home replacement..i think.idk might be talking out my a**.

Is it possible to have more than 3 screens with home?

No but you could run a different launcher and theme that, but you lose all of sense when using a different launcher

Thanks for the reply though.
I asked cause I like the feel of sense but the look of AOSP. Don't really like the playitcool ROM though.

Do you miss the 3d app drawer?

I kind of miss it. One of the things I wish made its way from 2.3 to 4.0. Must of gotten lost some where in-between

Yeah I do miss it but think about this. Unlike apple iOS, ICS works on both phone and tablet .they took out the 3d because it will look stupid on a tablet. That's why they adopted the honeycomb launcher

I used to run that on GB.
But I really don't want to go back to the old UI. Which is why stock (or at least stock looking) is why I'm not going to aftermarket home launchers.

ADW Ex doesn't change the appearance or operation (except for the app drawer, which is what you want anyway) unless you configure it to do so.
It has been updated to provide added functionality on top of ICS and it is working brilliantly.

How many people couldn't stand the ics touchwiz?

After using it for a day I just could not accept the tw launcher and had to install ics launcher.
Just wondering if anyone has found the touchwiz launcher useful and if so why?
If you ditched it which launcher did you go to?

TW ruined the ICS that's all I can say.

It's not a terrible launcher.... Just boring. Not very customize-able. I have and will always use an aftermarket launcher. AdW eX to be exact.

I am using Nova Launcher. I have had no issues with it so far.

Even though I dont have ICS yet (****ty Rogers), I definitely agree with hawk
I was looking for a nexus experience but didnt want to get a galaxy nexus.
Thats why i would recommend Nova Launcher, Ive watched enough videos

I'm neutral, just looks like plain old touchwiz to me. Like the one we've always had, And I think we expected that. But with the added multitasking features And other added features its beem a pleasurable experience so far And I'm thourghly enjoying it.

I just grabbed some AOSP .apks and shoved them into an early alpha #-8 preview of NexusMod ICS...i'm working hard on making this look vanilla

I would definitely love you if you get it vanilla. I hate touchwiz, most useless software ever.
BTW you got any ETA as to when its coming out?

I ditched it for Apex. Much nicer.

I've always used launcher pro, so i'm super used to it. I just have it set up to have an ICS feel to it using this guide. I've had this for a while now, but now I actually have true ics

This is what it turns out to look like. Not too shabby, b/c I don't really like Nova or Apex that much.

Yea, the touch whiz completely ruined ICS for me. I had ICS running on my Inspire 4G before I upgraded to the Skyrocket, which was aosp ICS. I could definitely see all the differences straight away, and was quite underwhelmed by the ICS leak. I think some of the best parts of aosp ICS are missing. I used apex launcher for a while to try to make it a bit better, but in the end, went back to my NexusMod 4 backup.
Looking forward to some vanilla ice cream goodness.

Besides the launcher (which I ditched and bought Nova instead), I don't know what else is TW. I have no experience with ICS till today's flash-fest, so it all seems good to me (minus the TW launcher).

I think its a race right now between a few of you guys to get an aosp style rom puahed out! I really appreciate your guys' hard work!
I've just recently started looking into rom development myself and if I thought I could help yet id offer but I'm not there yet. Keep us posted on how you're doing! I know I'm watching the dev section like a hawk!

The launcher, app drawer, and settings menu are the biggest changes. Some other little things like icons are changed too though.

+1 fpr apex. I use apex on my galacy nexus and now my skyrocket as well

The thing that annoys me most about TW on ICS is that they got rid of the settings button in the notification pull down. Like... WHAT THE **** SAMSUNG?

They also hobbled the lock screen. AOSP ICS allows for many music players to have controls on the lock screen. Samsung only supports it's own music player to have controls on it's TW lock screen. I just don't get it, why take away features?
On top of that to still not add a widget (since you are forced to use the stock TW music player to have lock screen controls) for the TW music player is just stupid. Makes you wonder how thought out TW is.

If you want app drawer back, download LG Home 4.0 theme from the SmartWorld app.

Yeah so after getting Nova setup and going, I feel like an idiot that I just did not go install the UX 4.0 Theme. Now it looks like it should with the UX 4.0 theme, having my app drawer back .

I did the exact same thing with nova and then seeing this thread and downloading 4.0

I can't find any updates on this. I got 4.0 but LG released that video and everything about 5.0 and no one has it. Assuming an ota will come out sooner or later.

We got like 4.9, which rounds up to 5, unless you have something different. There are features missing when compared to LGs official 5.0 video.
What do you see in your home screen selector? Can you add the app tray back.

yea you have to download 4.0 or you only have 5.0 or google now by default I think. Who likes 5.0 anyways *eeek* I got 4.0 right away and life is again good.

OK I saw the video, I don't have the option to choose a launcher with app drawer like they show
