Ok so I'm making a ROM for myself (I'll probably release it too), I'm starting with Sense 2.1 GB because I want the HTC Music app and a couple other things. I'm going to remove Sense and debloat the heck out of it. My question is in the title. I'm looking for the perfect launcher and am open to suggestions, I would really like to find a unique one. Please include what it is that you like about the launcher. I have tried the following and and looking for something else: Hi, Zeam, ADW, Holo, Lightning, Go, Smart, MX, QQ (this one I do like), EZ, Sense, Regina.
Here is a screenie of the project with the QQ Launcher
And here is the EZ Launcher, the runner up at this point... I don't like the fact you can't change the dock.
Just got the MIUI v4 Launcher working. Me likey. Facebook is borked tho.

I've always been partial to either ADW EX or Go launcher on GB. But since we're talking about something that might me released. How about that claystone launcher. Unsure if it's compatible with GB, but it is different and I think free
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk 2
Of the ones you have here I like the second one. In the past I have really liked the features in Go.
I'm just happy I've got the HTC music app working on a NonSense ROM that was my main goal lol

I don't understand what is up with Facebook tho, I have never had problems until this week. Now I get fc and refusing to open and all kinds of stupid crap, mind you it is when I am playing around with ROMs but still
facebook released a completely recoded app this week, that could be why.
They finally stepped away from the sluggish html5 rendering system it had been relying on and now is working with a native code base

Miui is awesome, great battery life fresh new interface and tons and tons of customizing options.they also update the rom every friday with a new version. It will be a huge hit on the g2x, I always used it on my nexus. If you dint like how it has a iphone feel you can just install a custom launcher and problem solved.

thank you cause some one in this thread asked what's so great about Miui. I swear some people will never be a Jedi master with dumb questions like that.
Did you guys tried the test version? Were you able yo change screen density with no affect on apps' function. I know this is a known issue with miui.
Sent from my Calculator with Android.
I hope they going to have the new lockscreens in it, the only downside I do not like about MIUI is every ROM I have seen has all white setting screens and I hate white! I however love the top bar battery, that thing is cool!
Miui is more white then black. It is inspired by the iOS in many ways.
There are many differences but the biggest is the homescreen which rids the app drawer for desktop icons... very similar to the iFones. A custom launcher makes it more into a standard andriod feel.
The big icons attract most people. Its a very pretty rom.

just FYI for anyone who didn't notice. Android Market is celebrating 10 billion downloads by offering 10 apps for 10 cents each for 10 days. It's actually been going on for a couple of days already, but there is still a bunch of days left to scoop up some deals.
Apps change every day as well.

Kinda late to respond to this, but you can buy VISA gift cards from a lot of pharmacies and stuff. That works as a debit card.
I used to do that when I wanted to pay for something online when I was younger.

This is easily the most fully featured and accurate ICS Lauchers released for non-ICS versions of Android to date. Very customizable too.
I've only found two issues with it so far
Desktop Vizualizer will not create custom icons
PhotoContact widget does not work
Yeah I found it while digging around xda. Very good and accurate. Only problem is that it seems kind of laggy, at least compared to go launcher.

I am partial to Go launcher myself. Holo is growing on me though. Only things I find wanting are gestures for doc apps (folders are an ok substitute) and ability to scroll vertically in app drawer. It is very snappy and customizable.

I tried really hard to replace Go Launcher with Holo but it's just not happening. Go is faster, more customizable, but the ICS experience is unbeatable with Holo. I know it's still in Beta at the moment so I'll def check back once it sheds the Beta tag.....if I don't already have my SGSIII by then

I hadn't used ADW in a very long time, and it was only on my tablet. I honestly can't remember what prompted me to even check on it, but about a week ago I noticed that it had been updated, tried it, saw it had a few nice themes... love it.

You should try SSLauncher. It allows you to create something it calls application groups that are in list form. You can have all your apps in that list or just categories, like games or office or photo apps.
It's also one of the most customizable launchers on the market. You can even have a different wallpaper on each screen!

I purchased it five minutes ago. I'm a little disappointed. I love the concept of it, but it's a little too minimalistic at the moment. There are only a few settings, and there's no real option to customize it. I guess the dev will update it a bit in the near future so it's all good, but i expected much more. Also, no lite version? Come on...
Looks good - will probably wait till it's a little bit more feature rich.
Hi mate looks awesome but do you have a test version for how it looks? Or only the payed one?
