Sorry if it's a stupid question, I'm new here. I'm running Mimicry on my Desire Z and it uses Aroma to install Nova Launcher (as chosen) onto my phone. However, the version is 1.2.2 and 1.3.1 is out. Should I update my launcher myself? Does it matter?:laugh:
Backup the copy you have with titanium backup and then upgrade. Every now and them upgrade will break stuff, hence the backup, but in general there is no reason not to upgrade your launcher. Feel free to try other launchers as well, many great options in Android

a backup can be useful if the most recent update is having some bugs on your device.

Not only backup the current launcher using TB, but be sure to backup the settings of Nova in (of course) Nova settings. It saves the layout of your widgets and icons.
as the nova 1.3 is build on the sources of the current JellyBean Launcher which includes the Project Butter for more smothness i would recommend the update!

either restore a previous nandroid or reflash the mod and go here for a working helix launcher 2 for CM 5.0.6:

The current market helix launcher 2 does not work with CM 5.0.6 as far as I know.

Ahh ok. My mistake then.. I guess it was the previous version that was acting silly with 5.0.6... At least with me.
compatible
I'm not having any problems running the most current HelixLauncher2 0.7 on CM 5.0.6. It works wonderfully.
My phone is working very fast and stable. Everything is ok. Menu transitions, game loading screens, homescreen transitions... But only my appdrawer laggy when opening and closing animations.
I am using go launcher with cm7.2+. I tried other roms and launcher but appdrawer every time laggy.
I am waiting your suggestions

Are your clocks okay?
Are you running some special governor?
It might be something you made.
Or this phone has endless problems.
It has cm7.2+ kernel and rom users like this kernel. And if flashed original v21e it was ok but after 3-4 days problem has occured

I used LauncherPro in the rom since I found Go Launcher laggy (and a huge resource hog). Glad you found that out too
@pandaball i installed your rom. Rom is very fast. But ONLY appdrawer opening closing animations very laggy on go launcher, launcher pro (standart rom launcher) and adw launcher

Mine is smooth, even with a ton of apps installed. Methinks you have more apps than me try wiping cache and dalvik cache, that helps sometimes by clearing up redundant entries
I did wipes. Everything is ok now. But i'm sure restart this problem after few days. Thanks for support pandaball

As the title states I was wondering if I installed a S3 Touchwiz Launcher would I be able to install the Samsung MusicPlayer apk.? I'm running Scotts CM10 11/04 build and I was able to install Samsung Job Manager apk. through Recovery but no matter what I do I can't figure out how to install the Music Player. I've seen and heard of people who have been able to install it but I got nothing! Would the S3 Touchwiz Launcher work for installing Samsung stock apps such as MusicPlayer? Thanks in advance!
No...most Samsung apps have touchwiz dependencies that are located in the frameworks...not the launcher. The apps you can install are apps that don't require the touchwiz dependencies to run/install

Thanks man! So no way I'll ever be able to use some of those Samsung apps while on CM10?

OK. Here's my problem and I really need help. I am using Freehand CM10 theme on my G2x with JB. Only problem is, since I am using the theme, I can't use the ICS Fixer, which means 35% of my apps are still gingerbread themed. Why? I checked on other phones and those apps are themed towards the phones os and colors. So why isn't mine JB themed? Help please?
PS: I tried combining the themes, but it always has a flaw in it like ICS doesn't show in twitter or the other apps etc..

I don't think you can use CM10
What do you mean? I have CM10 jellybean for G2x on my phone though? The rom is called something different though Idk? I just dont get why Twitter looks like a gingerbread app

Re Flash ?
Did u try to reflash your mobile with the Custom ROM ?
May be it can help, I think the ROM itself is based on GingerBread ?
Well I flashed it through CWM and my system and the other 65% of my apps are JB themed. But yet twitter, Snapchat are GB themed so maybe they developed it that way? Idk. I mean if I flash it again I lose all my data so I don't really feel like doing that ATM.

Yes may be you are right, i will have a look at the ROM, pass me its name and I will see what I can do.

Thanks so much for trying to help guys but I figured out that certain apps are developed for the certain OS of that phone and what its stock version is. My phones stock is 2.3.4, not 4.0.4 or 4.1.1. Which I use. Therefore when using CM10 which usually you use for a higher version, you need a theme called JB Fixer/ICS Fixer. I have to use this in order for it to work. The system is obviously themed as are some apps like Facebook, Google apps, etc. because they are ICS themed apps. So, if using an ICS+ OS you get ICS themed. That's what I observed. Thanks for trying and I did get tired of the freehand theme anyway, so its all good ?

Hey guys, i'm bored with my tab and want to put a new launcher and a new custom rom. please recommend some mainly i want roms you can skip the launchers if you want. But i will be grateful if you provide both my tab is currently running 4.0.3
As far as roms, you'll have to search the forums for one for your tab. For launchers I like ADW or apex

Try launcher 8
Gives Windows 8 style
Personaly I prefer miui launcher and miui roms
They're easier and have a lot of goodies especially inbuilt task cleaner
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
Try 360launcher, its much like miui , but its amazing. It has awesome animations and effects without decreasing the performance
Hit thanks if I helped
