I noticed on the Prime they have a battery icon for the dock as well as the tab in the status bar and in the notification menu, and since the Transformer has ICS and the new notification menu, should we have the dock battery? or do we need a dock firmware upgrade? or are the new Prime docks have something ours don't?
Does anyone have a dock battery level?
The ics for the transformer prime shows it. But not ours. Was just doing a side by side comparison with a friend's prime.

I'd rather have it in the status bar where it should be.. I think our docks may get a firmware update
The beta version of dual battery widget puts a second icon for the dock battery in the status bar. And it seems to be working OK after today's ICS update.

And you don't even have to have the widget on your desktop. I've gotten rid to it there, since it is redundant.
As you know, CM7 has no battery level meter, just the icon, so just curious what some of you use. Someone told me one they use all the time, but for the life of me, I can't remember the name of it. Thanks!

MiniInfo has a great battery widget that shows charging! Tested in Gingy, ICS and Jellybean. I think its pretty choice.

Anyone else enjoying the new update? So far, flows so much better than apex and nova. Transitions are smoother more numerous and prettier than ever. So many more options to choose from, I had to share.

I was playing with the new ADW Launcher EX last night. It is very nice. However, I uninstalled and went back to stock. Because I don't like a pop-up menu appearing when I hold on a widget. I like the JB resize handles appearing. The extra step just turned me off.
I liked 3rd party launchers in the Pre-ICS days. But since ICS forward, not so much.
Absolutely love the new version of ADW EX - they did an excellent job with it. I really like the custom fonts for desktop icons too - looks so much better than the stock font for desktop icons.
Also love the dock reflections - adds a nice touch.
Really don't have anything bad to say about ADW EX - lots of options, great performance and doesn't seem to be a RAM hog either...
Highly recommended.

One issue that I am running into is that I am a not able to reassign the function of the home icon. I usually use the home button to open and close the dock bar. So far I have not been able to do this?

How did you re-assign that key with other launchers?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
I had a hubs layout with instant transitions (that is, no transition), and was a big fan. Setting the transition speed to 0 accomplishes that in the old adw ex, but not in the new one. I rolled back to the old thanks to titanium. Not sure if it's a bug, an oversight or intentional.
Not saying it's bad, just doesn't suit my preferences.
Maybe I should try this too. I used stock for a long time until tried Nova. Omg what a difference with speed! Nova is so much faster than stock.
But if ADW faster than Nova I think I could be 95% satisfied with the speed of this tablet. (browser still has many problems)
I had bought ADW maybe 2 years ago and then it had problem not having updates so I changed to others. Might give it a try now. Thanks for headsup!
Try ADWLquncher ex the november update gave it a new life : before it was far slower than apex (my previous launcher) and now it's far faster and smoother

I have searched the thread some but have not found a post itself directly relating to launchers on the TF700. I have been using Action Launcher and have tried Go, Nova, Apex, and ADW. Anyone else use any different ones and have lots of success? I am beginning to get annoyed with Action Launcher and would like to see what everyone else is using.
So, What launcher do you use? And why would you recommend it?
Hope no one minds I starting this thread. And hopefully I posted it in the correct section.

I use Nova Prime -- I like the gestures, and the ability to set the animation speed (I have it set to "faster than light" at the moment, but if I could pick "none" I'd prefer that. It feels a bit snappier than the other launchers I've tried (and used on my SGS2), although it comes down to preference, I guess...

I agree it is snappier, however I notice a little lag when switching from and through the widget and applications tab but dont feel smooth because of the snappiness. I'll use Nova for a bit and see if I can get used to it.

Stock for a long time.
Apex was a favorite for about 2 months Apex was easy to setup and get used to.
GO for a while then it got a little bugged.
My winner is NOVA didn't really like it at first...once set up it became the goto for me.

I like Action Launcher but it is not really tablet friendly. It could be a lot better but at the moment it is not. I am gonna continue trying out Nova and see what becomes of it. Does anyone else experience lag when browsing the app drawer and going between apps and widgets?

Apex
I'm using ParanoidAndroid rom with dpi set to 160 and Apex is the only launcher that manages screens and drawers boundaries correctly. Nova is very similar with tons of customizations and I think a little snappier.
I've tried them all, but I keep going back to Apex. So, that is what I use on both my tablet and phone.
Nova Prime ftw..

I'm using Apex and like it a lot. Also you might try an app called "Sidebar". Well worth the 1.99 if you end up liking it.
I use Apex on my phone, but Nova on my tab. Can't think of the specific reason, but I know it adds something Apex doesn't have. Works well for me (also running croml).
I recently started using Chameleon launcher, its pretty cool!! the only downside is that you have to buy ( no free or demo version). However, is completely different from other launchers ive used. I was using Nova prime before that, which i also love.:good:
I've found none better than Apex
Apex for me, but Nova comes in a very close second
Apex is the best. Absolute love it.

I use ADW ex, the old version. The older version allows instantaneous transitions without effects, which I love in combination with hubs. I couldn't get rid of transitions the last time I tried the newest version.
I'm thinking about updating to Lightning Launcher if it does what I want. It has the right transitions, but it doesn't come with full screen linking for hubs by default. There's an addon that might make it work, and if it does, I'm all over it. LL is even lighter than Zeam but overflowing with customization options. It's fantastic with my TP2.

Why would I do that? Not trying to be rude, but it seems like you think it would suit some of my needs, but at a glance, I'm not seeing the connection.
With all these launchers, how do I create a scroll-able wallpaper between 2 screens? I've looked all over but cannot find any help...
I've installed and tried lightning launcher for about 10mn and it seems very interesting. I've used apex, nova and adw ex (my choice since december) and they all are variants of the same launcher type. I've chosen adw ex only because it's smoother on my tab than others but it's nore very fun. At the contrary lightning launcher is allowing to do unusal things for my desktop like widgets in folders or position app icons and widgets anywhere (no lines/no columns) and it's smoother. I'll give it a deeper test to see if it meets my stability, smoothness and functionalities needs.

So I talked with the dev of Team Battery Bar app and he's going to release a dual battery bar! So it will show the tablet battery level in one battery bar and then under that it'll show the docking keyboard batter level in another battery bar. I'm not sure how much screen space he's gonna use(guessing 1 or 2 dp per bar), but that should be pretty sweet! I'd actually much more prefer having a battery bar than the dual battery widget. I dont like using widgets and I don't like my notification center all cluttered up.
Just thought I'd let y'all know, it's coming!

Nice :good:
When it's released, please write a reply in this tread. I've just subcribed to this tread, that way I wil know when it's time to download the Team Battery Bar app.
