Just access the contacts via opening phone

According to a few reviews and personal experience of my friends, adw is cool but not that fast and lags a bit too
Am I correct ?

Does zeam launcher wait for all apps to load like toichwiz does or does it open apps as and when they get loaded

@Arjav23 ADW lags(at least for me) and i don't find it attractive...As for the Zeam launcher i never used it so i'll let someone else answer you to that question If you want a fast launcher i suggest Launcher Pro,but if you want speed and a possibility to customize the interface i strongly recommend Go launcher EX (with Desktop visualizer is just mind-blowing)

On froyo go launcher lags quite a bit. On CM7 it doesn't as much. I remember back when Go launcher was just a launcher instead of a music player, gallery and all that other useless garbage. It seems the developers don't understand that phones come stock with a gallery, music player and video player.
Anyway, i am currently using Holo launcher HD on AOKP JB and it's quite good. I'm waiting for MiHome to get updated and for the lag issue to fix though because i really want to try MiHome since it has all the MIUI themes without having to use the MIUI ROM.

Go launcher also uses up quite a lot of memory and ram

Apex Launcher is the best

The new ADW launcher is amazingly fast and the animations look awesome!

fastest launchers nemus, launcherpro,adw in my opinion

The new adw is really too good

Is there an app(Launcher) or a hack to show always the drawer/app depot?

I like Android but i hate the widgets and the Homescreen, i don't need them. So i like the apple surface. Is there a launcher/hack to show always the app surface/drawer/app depot? I use.the go launcher and if it's possible i will use it further more.
Thx a lot!!!

Why not just resize your homescreen grid to hold more apps and put all your apps on scrollable homescreens? With adw you can even make the dock disappear all together to make more room for app icons.

For.example the go launcher has a perfect app depot with recently used apps and running apps in tab style thats what i love and want.

Use ADW or LauncherPro and change settings so it won't close App Drawer when you open a new app.
Check if MIUI is available for your device, its does not have a app draw.

Lol then why not just take the fraction of a second d to open the app drawer? Lol doesn't take long. Or just place ur apps on the home screen

Just get a ducking iPhone. Who doesn't like Widgets? This post almost seems kind of trolly Polly if you ask me.
as said above .. Miui is pretty similar to iphone .. no Apps Drawer .. everything is on the main screen ... and its very fast ..

I suggest the same. also set number of home screens to (1). plus since you don't like the home screen, change the settings so that when you press the home button it pulls up your app drawer.

@fifarunnerr: Can you tell me the exactly option?
@kylec: LOL
@Mylenthes: Didn´t you read my first post? I like android, but i like the iphone appearance and the GoLauncher has additionally a super Tab-styled surface --> I have the Galaxy Tab with Android 2.3.3, The GoLauncher installed and now i want reduce it to the Drawer/App Depot
@Nexus 4G: The same like fifarunnerr. There isn´t a option except "Open/Close the App drawer" but i want only "Open the app drawer".
Thx a lot
Miui, if available

Dude seriously you are retarded if you have a large screen tab and can't figure this out with the multitude of options at your disposal. This is either a troll thread from a bored individual or you really are clueless. Even after members here give you seven different options you just keep on asking?

"Dude", that's not very nice...
@OP- I'm not sure you really have an option... Even if u switched to miUI, u would have several homescreens instead of one app drawer. Your going to have to sacrifice. and yes the open/close app drawer is the option I were referring too. I've never seen a rom/preference to completely remove your home screens... Sry bredrin )-:

I've been using this, it keeps losing apps. It's better than nothing, but it's not as good as the MIUI Launcher.

I have lost an app when moving it to the trash can by mistake and tapping Cancel. Goto Settings, Applications and force stop it. Then restart vLauncher and the app should be back. I would like to see the developer pick this app up and do some updating.

Install APW, then login in to your FB accout or Twitter. Try to scroll your tweets up or down - its dont work. It works only after you click the arrow in APW. In ADW launcher or Launcher Pro it works by default.
scollable widgets are not supported in tw. Better use other third party launcher. About modding it I think its very tough thing and maybe devs won't be interested in it as there are alternatives available.

Wait for sometime buddy.
ICS is on the way & if I remember correctly then TW 5 / Nature UX of S3 has been ported for Droids on ICS.
Then you can enjoy the scrolling the widgets & much more.
Cheers !
Found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883 and scroll works!!!

Looking for a launcher

I am looking for a launcher which merges the home screens and app drawer. I want something where I have my home screens, but rather than press the app drawer button simply swipe to the side to find all my apps. Does this kind of launcher exist?
MIUI works like that.
And post this **** to Q & A
Yes search for TSF Shell Pro 3D v1.5.0.03 it's an awesome launcher.:good:
Maybe try the above rom. It's like I phone. It is annoying that Android have an app drawer. In fact it's stupid. But I guess it's a patent by Apple

But, it is not really a question - more relevant here I feel as it is to do with apps. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I've tried MiHome. It does what I want, other than the fact you can't organise applications alphabetically.

Use Nove Launcher.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App
That's the same launcher I'm looking for.... and I found it!
Apex Launcher.
What you need to do, is make folders and organize them into categories.
Then you put all the Apps in there.
You create the amount of Homescreens you want, and fill in with any Widgets you want.
You make the dock with your most used Apps... hold and click on "Gestures".
You make "Swipe Up" to "Show App Drawer".
Make any other UI changes, and voila!
PM back if you want more info/instructions.

I don't think it can be done with the stock launchers.
For nova launcher - Menu-->desktop-->wallpaper scrolling-->off
For apex launcher - Menu-->apex settings-->homescreen settings-->Wallpaper mode-->multiple screen, non scrolling
If you don't have either of these there are free versions available. They both come highly recommended and are based on the stock launcher. You can't actually tell the difference.
usually the method suggested by previous post can get the job done. however, if you still having issue, you can use Wallpaper Wizardrii app. the app is useful if you're using manufacturer launcher (touchwiz, sense, blur, etc) and prefer not to switch to other launcher. but since those launchers suggested are similar to stock launcher, then it shouldn't be an issue to use either of them.

Yes it was derivated from AOSP Launcher with all this addition and a lot of tweaks
You added all those features by yourself or what? It looks too much like Apex, just with names, and some icons changed...
Primo, Apex and Nova r all derivated and share the same initial code from AOSP launcher... Lots of the features are inspirited by Nova, Apex and Go Lanchers.Also Primo Launcher got all their paid features for free.

Agreed.
I didn't see any major performances issues when I compared the three of them side by side. Granted, I'm using them on my S3. Still, I really like the fact that the features which should be paid for in Nova and Apex are free here. :good:
