nexus launcher other than helix?

is there a nexus one type launcher that will work on a 2.1 rom? something other than helix or launcher2? im looking for just a 3-5 screen plain launcher.

Helix can do 3-5 screens and is pretty plain.

yeah i don't like helix, the launcher tab is too small and you cant minimize the drawer without hitting the back button.

Why dont you just take one of the many Android launchers and skin it to look like a Nexus launcher? Then it looks exactly how you want it, and its completely stable...

what app fc the launcher. lol i havent had a single anything go wrong with it. the fact that its an modd com.android.launcher... makes it far more stable then a home replacement..i think.idk might be talking out my a**.

Is it possible to have more than 3 screens with home?

It's CM10.1 + paranoidandroid + aokp so the extra system overhead causes the lag.

I was just bout to say the same....... I'm sure with some tweaking, I can reduce this lag. Just have to wait and see. My OG is asleep on the Welcome Screen for the night, because that is how I usually do to let it ALL settle in. Although, I flashed the NoA2SD version straight up, so I don't know if that will make a difference. Either way, it is still PAC-man 4.2.2 on the OG. Can't say it hasn't been done.

Sweetness presented to us again from the great Wambo,nice stuff brother.

Like the NBA Jam game, Wambo is on fire! We are getting ROMs on the OG Evo I'd thought I'd never see.

To help a little with the lag, I go to settings/developer options, scroll down towards the middle & turn off the animations. Change all 3 from 1x to off. I think it makes a difference, you might not.
And by the way, I'll say it here too, thanks a sh!t ton for this Eric, love this on my og. Running great still, thanks bro!
Sent from my SPH-l900 using JellyBombed Tapatalk 2

No problem man. I appreciate it. As I said, as long as I have to use this phone, its gonna get 4.2.2. I saw the light with the Note2 for a little bit and there was nothing quite like it. I'm hooked on jellybean. :beer:
P.S. my default action is always turning animations to off, then sideloading Nova and disabling there too. Yes. Works like a champ here.

Yea I always either turn off animation or set it to.5x

Side load=have a backup copy from play store in an app folder on my sdcard. Go into file explorer and tap to install.
I meant to add it into the ROM, but I got lazy. Its a lot smoother than Trebuchet imho.

Not necessarily sideloading it makes it smoother, I mean nova in general. In Nova Settings - Look and Feel - Scroll Speed and Animation Speed set to faster than light.

I've found this launcher, kitkat and ART compiler to be sweet bliss. Swipe to left is buttery smooth with ART and 4.4.

If I install this GEL apk and end up not liking it, it is just a simple matter of uninstalling it or do I have to install the original launcher back?

Just clear defaults. Just like any other launcher. So you'll be good. If you have kitkat, you can do it from here (within settings>home):
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

I just installed it and did not realize how large all the icons are now. is there a way around this? otherwise I may have to go back to the original kitkat launcher?
what other differences are there?
I do like the google now swipe right though.

The icons come with the launcher. Solution for smaller ones is to use a different launcher.

Grab an icon and drag it to the right, off the edge of the screen. The GE launcher will create a new home screen for you to drop it on. Drag back to the left and it will remove the unused home screen.

After weeks use of this launcher, there is only one annoyance. The launcher keeps adding a page for reasons I'm not sure of and the page indicator is a plus sign instead of a dot. Can't figure out why it keeps doing that. I have to fix it by adding an icon on the screen and taking it out to have it disappear. See Screenshot.

Happens to me on occasion. I actually think it's by design. It's not always there on mine, it's almost like a hint or tip. It's not always there.
That's the best I got...

have you installed new app? it seems to happen from what I've noticed on new app install on the stock launcher also.
if you select the stock launcher and get rid of the app off the home screen it seems to go away

Re up
Can somebody re up? It appears the link in the op goes to an empty folder. Thanks in advance.
