Hi
I've got the same phone as you do, running a JB ROM and I use the APEX-launcher. I tried several launcher but this one simply rocks :laugh:

If you want to install and run this launcher simply download it from Market and run it. When it starts you will see a menu with the option to choose which launcher you want to run.

You should try Nova Launcher (JB Beta) too.

if you are having any other launcher installed then you can go to Titanium backup and freeze it..

thanks for the reply
by doing that can i get the original UI of gingerbread??
cause i want the original UI of Gingerbread..
No you can't because in system/app there must be also another launcher (gingerbread) which isn't there (TOUCHWIZ) so you can remove it but you cant do anything if you have NO launcher only if you have installed another launcher.
I suggest you to try this launcher which has the same feeling like the GB launcher
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modaco.android.launchergb it is provided by MoDaCo, a popular android site where you can "bake" your own custom rom!

[Q] What's the difference between launchers and ROMs?

What's the difference between launchers and ROMs?
Will installing a launcher mess with an installed ROM?
Thanks in advance
Launcher is a UI that lays over the ROM to give a different user experience. Go ahead and try them... they are safe. I recommend nova launcher myself

A launcher is an app. A ROM is the whole system of the phone.
The ROM is all the apps and such on your phone. A launcher only has the interface of your home screens.
A launcher shouldn't mess with your ROM.

I found Apex launcher to be good as well, so you can try that one also.
Will try out Nova which Glacierguy recommended later tonight to see how it looks and works.
Thanks guys. I'll go and play around for a bit now :laugh:

Looking for an APEX ROM for SAMSUNG NOTE GT-7000

Hi.
i am looking for a apex rom for my samsung galaxy note GT-N7000. So if there is any apex rom for it please guide me to it.
Thank you
Apex is a launcher NOT a ROM! Apex launcher can be used with any ice cream sandwich or jelly bean ROM, I'm not sure if it works with gingerbread roms.

You could check my guide. The fastest and easiest way to tablet UI is with Xposed Framework and Xposed TabletUI mod by TB_TB that you can find at a link posted in the thread above to Other Xposed Mods. Or there is the dpi change method if you really want to customize things.

tablet ui in galaxy tab 2 7.0
I have a better and easy way to get the tablet ui in galaxy tab 2 7.0
1. Open any root explorer like root explorer or es file explorer
2. Open the build.prop file in the system folder.
3. Make the several changes in it
Change the "ro.sf.lcd_density=160" to "ro.sf.lcd_density=130" or lower than 130
4. Reboot your tab.
5. enjoy tablet ui in jelly bean
"warning : For getting this trick in work first install any other launcher like nova launcher,holo launcher hd etc because stock touchwiz home launcher keep force closing after you edited your build.prop file and reboot your tab.In this case you have to reflash your stock rom into your tab."
"I am not responsible for any harm done to your tab"

Are there any issues with any apps that you know of while running at that screen density?
I have Xposed, so if I need to change anything, it won't be a problem.
Thanks!
