And ripple lock is a honeycomb imitation lock that goes well with it
Just for.those who want something new

Ah, I played around with that home launcher, really new and awesome idea. For some reason it was a bit laggy for me, not sure why. And I was getting annoyed by the 3d switching screens thing. But all in all, anyone who wants a change, that's a cool home launcher

Ok, I took a look and I liked it...I wanted to love it...but came away with the feeling that it wasn't quite fully baked. It definitely does things differently and I'm keeping my eye on it. A bit more development and polish and this could end up on my phone full time. If you are looking for something different you can't go wrong by taking a look.
Good find OP...thanks for the post.
I use it from time to time, I like that you can have a different wallpaper for each screen. I like the clock to.

I was reading around an found this.it's built by syndicate apps, look towards the bottom of the article an there's a link to download it.
http://www.slashgear.com/ice-cream-sandwich-launcher-app-hands-on-video-19180882/
Note: it's updated every night when they can
: there are bugs, it's an alpha release.
: not official, the more info they have bout ICS, we shall see it.
If you're experiencing lag when switching screens, let the app be on your phone, running for Atleast a day, then the lag should be gone.(that trick came from syndicates site)
For the record, i'm not affiliated nor do I direct contact with them, i'm just helping out.if you experience any issues, please send an email to them. I'll try my best to help.
From my fist to your face, enjoy.

cons
1) sluggish
2) big settings wheel behind "running apps" is annoying and ugly

It was really slow for me, but raising the clockspeed helped with the lag I had, but I rather not OC just for a home app. HC is really nice, but it leaves more to be desired, it needs more optimizing or something to make it smoother. Sometimes it seems like a cool slideshow on the phone. But then again I haven't used HC since ver 1.6 I think.

There's no lag for me with ICS, no overclock,cm7.1 some other smaller hacks, nothing involving a performance boost. I did read on their site, that you have to leave it sitting on your phone for a little, maybe a day, then the lag would be gone.

it's okay. To be honest i don't like it as much as i like AWD/EX.
It's a nice app to see how things will be, but it most likely will not be my daily driver.
called DXHOME and its super fast smooth.
throw an ics theme on and your good to go
EDIT: please dont say it looks like an iphone u can use it and with an ics theme (I use an htc sense theme) it does not look like an iphone. its worth it is smoother than spb shell, go launcher, and all the other popular launcher (i have tried almost all of them and all of the ones u guys have mentioned) and has cool 3d effects and is overall a better user experience

Dx home is the smoothest launcher yet. If you dont want the iphone look...just go to themes and choose border and then transparent and choose regular system icons. You dont need to download an ics theme. Go launcher sucks hard...never liked it. Qq launcher...adw ex...dx home and zeam are easily the best choices.

I'm sticking with Launcher Pro, I just tried Launcher Ex and it doesn't do it for me. I haven't had problems with Pro and I unlocked it to get the Facebook and Twitter widgets.

Also, the guy holding the phone in the video is obviously a robot because he barely moves his left hand. And ive seen terminator one too many times to know not to trust robots.

So.............. I can't even remember how many people have asked me to look into getting the ticker "call" screen to work when you are using different launchers... Well, I (edit: FINALLY) took a look an hour ago, and I figured it out Right now I have the modifications incorporated into this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883, which i personally LOVE! But yeah, i Didz it
I could probably get it to work with other launchers too, but for now, i'm done... hahaha... I highly suggest checking out that launcher though... It supports samsung widgets (because it is based off of Touchwiz 4.0 launcher ) and works pretty nicely I have a weird obsession with the weather clock we have, so this launcher satisfies that, and more
Alright guys, download time
Install this to the system/app folder (after renaming it to just TW4Launcher )
Download (APK): http://www.mediafire.com/?8jzcxc1p3og69zl
Ok, add this to my WTF list! Lol If I'm running this launcher still get the call options on the large screen. Then, if I switch back to Go launcher, the calls show up in the ticker(Awesome Btw!) . I've gone back and forth multiple times and rebooted... Always the same.
Sent from my GB'ed I400 Continuum
Lol, that's normal! Even with the stock touchwiz launcher the call doesn't show up in the ticker when within the launcher itself... it's when you go to another app that it pops up the reasoning, I assume, is because you are doing important things while in different apps, but when you are home, it's okay to get a more intrusive call method because you aren't doing anything the problem was that the ticker call screen wasn't coming up ever when you didn't load the stock launcher
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
Lolol!! Yes everyone, I am a DA! And I thought my work around was pretty slick: set up a tasker task to run tw4 for 30sec at boot, then I have the ticker call all the time.
Anyway, love this... However it works! Lol

Not asking you to do this, just asking if it's possible... Could this and your "ticker 4 button return to call screen" (ec09) be made into a stand alone app: ie, not tied to a launcher? I'm assuming it's gotta go with the launcher, but as I proved above, don't know much about this stuff
Sent from my GB'ed I400 Continuum
Hello Trailblazer!
It was me. I am the guilty party. I was the one clamoring for this feature all along.
I had an invisible shortcut set to launch TW Launcher any time I happened to reboot my phone, and that was my way of ensuring the call screen function would be there.
Alas, the lure of ICS and JB drew me away from my Continuum to a used Fascinate on eBay, but I still have the Continuum and have made it my kids' phone as a VOIP phone / entertainment device.
Haven't visited this forum in a while...crazy to see what has changed since my last stop. Gingerbread? Your call screening fix? I might have to do some flashing!
Spear...
Are u using google voice + voip?
How is your kids device set up to call etc?
Sent from my SPH-M580BST using Tapatalk 2
Yes. But that's not the whole story.
I use an app called Groove IP. It integrates into Android so that you can make it the default app for outgoing call requests. But it requires a Google Voice account.
So GV is the texting app and the conduit for phone calls in and out. Had to change a setting in my Google Voice account for incoming calls to come to the phone.
Pretty strange still to get texts from my 6 year old when I'm at work.
That's how I have it set up. Just was wondering ...
Yeah my son loves to text when he gets a chance with my phone since he lost his lol.
He beat modernwarfare 2 in under 20 hours, his eigth bday weekend last week.

roaddog665: Well, to answer your question, I incorporated the "ticker 4 button return to call screen" feature into gingerbread, so that's not a problem anymore and for making the "call screen" stand-alone... It could probably be done, yeah... However, if I was going to do that, then the even when you are on the launch itself the call screen in the ticker will show up... Basically all what the code in the launcher does is tells the ticker when to show the call screen, so when it is active, it won't show, and when it is closed, it will! I guess that's not a bid deal, but I don't really know performance wise how well that would work... That's not really on my list of things to do though, because instead I can just incorporate my patch, haha

Thanks for the info! The work around I've been using shows the ticker screen even on the home screen, but it doesn't work all the time. lol I asked about the standalone just because I'm trying to learn about this stuff...but it has a pretty big learning curve for someone with absolutely no programing experience. I was happy getting CRT to work by myself without breaking something!
Hey guys, is there any other launcher that you would want me to try and mod? I'm not saying I can do it/be able to, but if we can come to a consensus, I might take a look at one or two others, haha I have just been pressed for time lately with everything

Oh no Holo Launcher worked fine on me. the touchwiz 4.5 had a few bugs.. But not a problem. Ciscogee's theme works fine with me with any launcher with no problems.
Did you guys just regularly install it, or did you put the apk in /system/app ? Just curious... Because it works great for me, ahha
and I tried doing the mods for the Holo Launcher, and porting it worked just fine... It just the fact that I had to resign the apk that was the problem, and that was something I didn't want to deal with I'll do it eventually, ahha

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I started using it day 1 and I think it has potential. It allows me to do what I usually do on my phone, but right from the launcher. I didn't really use widget, but it doesn't prevent you from using the regular launcher. I love the Chat Heads, as it helps with texting and keeping track of who you are talking to. Once you are done, just drag their Head down to close the chat window. I like it cause it reminds me to check if I replied to anyone. Some things I don't like is that there is no way to manage your contacts, save contacts, or anything you can normally do on any SMS app. You have to go to the People or SMS app to do that. I think some stuff will be added/fixed over time. Overall, a pretty good experience once you learn how to use it. Took me 30 minutes to find out my apps were a swipe to the right away. Big learning curve.
Here is the app for those with non compatible devices. Good luck.

Not everyone is running high performance apps. As one coworker said, it is iOS for Android in a way. No widgets, just put the apps you will use on the main app window. Everything else is still there, just centered around updates. For most non-power users, it will be fine.
Hey, it is not for everyone. I'm running Mastamoon's CM10.1 unofficial S3, and it runs well for me. Don't like it, just uninstall it.
How to use facebook Home If it is not Supported in my country.

Got it on my htc g2/vision/desire z
I made that my facebook phone, and had before this thread only the fb app installed, got around 5-7days with stock battery and constant w-lan connection
Since fb home I am down to 3d without constant w-lan connection (off over night)
So, although it is very nice and I personally think that this is no lockscreen anymore in a sense of LOCKscreen, so you can go right ahead, it kinda drains very much :/
Will leave it this and maybe next week, but then I'll see how it works out
Also, needing quite much of the little RAM I got there :/
