Hi guys.
I really like the GO Launcher app, but one thing that made me delete it is the fact that in ICS it opens their own search app when you press the search button. When I had Gingerbread, it was all great, it always opened Google Search when pressing the Search button.
Is there a way to change this without rooting the phone?
I've got ICS 4.0.3
And if there isn't a way to change this, are there any good Go Launcher alternatives? The LauncherPro seems cool but I can't stand it that it can't swipe the drawer menu horizontally.
Thanks

I'm running Ginger Clone R2 Rom.
On a Samsung Vibrant
the Stock launcher is a Gingerbread launcher, but the 3D app drawer is annoying, is there anyway i can remove that, because i jsut don't like it and when im in the middle of the list, and go back to home screen, and go back to app drawer, its back at the top, how can i stop it from happening or is there another replacement which looks like that but without 3D or that problem?
It is not a problem,
The launcher is suppose to do that.
But if you go on the Android Market
and search "Gingerbread Launcher" or "MoDaCo"
and that one has no 3D app drawer.

Yes, the stock launchers (which the one from the market is stock, just a tad bit modified) do that, the only way to fix that is to change some code or use LauncherPro and use a Gingerbread theme.

Hi guys,
Yesterday I was trying some launchers because I'm bored with Sense's one.
I tryied launcher pro and it was a very good launcher but it had something I don't like.
Let's say I'm in the home screen. I go to the menu and I tap to open for example Gallery app. If I hit back, with the launcher pro it sends me to the home screen (just like if I hit home button) BUT the Sense's launcher goes really back -> to the previous screen which is the menu.
Can I make something for the LauncherPro to work like Sense on this situation?
Thanks a lot guys.

I just checked my settings, there's lots of options and I didn't check them all but it looks like you could at least set the home button to open/close the app drawer in preferences>behavior. That might be a solution.

As I said ... I just want when running LauncherPro the 'back' button to have the same behavior as when running Sense.

Just tested on my phone and it takes me back to the screen I was on. I couldn't find anything in the settings though, so I'm not sure why your's is doing this.
Sorry!

You launched an app from the menu? Then you hitted the back button and taked you to the previous screen (not homescreen) at menu?
Strange thing. My brother's Zte Blade does the same with my phone...

I think OP is talking about opening an app from the app drawer right?
Unfortunately launcherpro doesn't allow the app drawer to be opened in the background, so pressing back will just put you back to home screen.
I think most other launchers do the same thing. You can try other launchers like ADW launcher, Zeam Launcher and Go Launcher. See if any of them has more App Drawer options for you..

Yes... that's I'm talking about. Back to the app drawer.
Tested ADW, does the same.... that's awful.
I just want to know how to get example1 instead of examplecurrent (attached).
I am ultra new to this modding stuff and have no idea what to even call this bar. But I am wanting to the the transparent 5 icon thing w/ phone messages ect at the bottom instead of the little standout-ish 3 icon one... help plz =P
All you'll have to do is install LauncherPro from the market. It is a launcher replacement app and is extremely popular. You'll be able to choose what apps/icons to put in the dock(that's what the bar is called ) along with all sorts of other customizations. There are other launcher replacement apps like ADW, GO launcher, Zeam, etc. Each have their own advantages and you'll just have to see what works best for you and your phone.
Then what?!
Ok I have downloaded LauncherPro , I believe cm7 already came with ADW or w/e so how do I change over and try the new one out and mess with settings and all that?
When you go to the homescreen you should get a popup asking you which launcher to use. If not, there's an app called home switcher or something like that. The settings can be found by pressing the menu button then selecting preferences. To change which apps and icons are in the dock, just long press on the one you want to change and you'll get a popup menu.
Phone, Email, Web and Apps are the 4 buttons at the bottom of the phone of course. I would really like to change email to gmail and web to a different browser maybe although haven't found anything i dont like with teh stock one. I have it rooted and skyrocketeer 1.5 installed.
Sorry if i missed this, i have tried to find it.
Thanks Matt
stock touchwiz
are you talking about on the stock touchwiz launcher? I haven't used it for a long time but i believe you can tap and hold the icon to move it. Also tap and hold from the app drawer to get other applications to your homescreens. I use ADW so I really can't remember.
It's a little different on the touchwiz launcher. You have to go to the application list, then press menu -> edit and from there you can move the shortcuts off and drop in the application you want.
Hi guys,
I've searched and the only solutions I've found don't seem to apply.
I have a pretty out-of-the-box CM10 4.1.2 on Amaze 4G, and I've lost my applications icon (the circle with squares inside that lets you see all your applications) in the launcher at the bottom of the screen.
Now almost every post says "just long press on the desktop and select New" or to go to the menu, or to delete an icon and you will see a + where you can add a new one. Long-pressing for me just asks me if I want to change the wallpaper, menu options give me nothing, and deleting another icon does not give me a +. Long pressing in the system tray does nothing.
Launcher is Trebuchet.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Install a new launcher like Nova or Apex
