Can you post screenshots of the launcher? I think we'd all like to have an idea of how it looks before we download it.
screen shots
attach the screenshots.
So what, exactly, is special about this launcher?
I like the concept. Great for users migrating from the iPhone, or those that want a simple interface. I downloaded it from the market last week, and have been playing around with it.
It places all your applications on a series of home (application) screens when first installed. You are then able to add up to 3 widget screens, which are placed to the left of the application screens. You can re-arrange your applications by grouping them into folders. These folders as well as your applications can be placed anywhere other than the widget screens, in any order. It doesn't have an apps drawer and so your wallpaper is visible at all times.
heyy dude!! I think itz too simple... i think an app drawer wid 3D wd b gud... N sum custom icons wid gud transition effects wd b gr8!!
Very nice.
Having an iPhone, this looks and feel just like it. Keep up the good work.

THank you.
Thanks for the clues.
Can someone change the layout to fit the Wildfire's screen?
Meh. The ui is boring and ugly lol.

I tried vlauncher the other day, from the Market. What it does, it does well. I would like to see it do more. Here are my two suggestions:
1. Allow shortcuts and bookmarks on the Widget pages. In the standard Android launcher, is very convenient to get to battery use or a weather bookmark with one press of an icon on the screen.
2. In your settings, have an entry for the column and row sizes. On the 7 inch screen of my Nook Color I would like more than 4 columns and 4 rows of icons on each screen.
If you add these two features I think I could use vlauncher every day.
I have an idea for an app, but no means to make it myself.
I would like an app that you can apply to widgets on your home screen. It would make them disappear. Then when you want to use the widget, tap the space where it was on the screen, and it reappears. This way you could have a very clean home screen with a nice wallpaper and no icons, until you need to use them.
Anyone up for the challenge?
I agree. This could be really cool if someone can develop this.
Anyone... I think this would be really awesome. The ability to have a minimalist home screen, but in one touch have widgets, or shortcuts appear would be awesome.
Here's an idea I've had rattling around in my head.
Currently, most of the launchers I've seen are a certain number of screens, with a given grid. The default launcher is 5 screens, each is a 4x4 grid. Is it possible to make all of these into one continuous stream? I mean, could we make the homescreen instead one continuous 4x20 space. You would only see a 4x4 space, but could move left or right one column at a time. You could also customize the width of the space, for example, make it 4x21 or 4x18. Widgets wouldn't be limited in which blocks they occupy either, so you could have them offset from one another. You might not want to have it go up or down, as this could cause some issues if you have scrolling widgets.
I have no programming experience, so I can't make this happen. But anybody else give it a shot.
Funny, was thinking about this last week as well.
One addition though; why work with columns and rows at all? Regina launcher (IIRC) works with lines instead of rows and columns, pretty cool.

Grids (to me) are a lazy man's method of a tidy desktop. I tried Regina, quite liked it and the freedom, but I'm a lazy person and prefer grids.
I actually like the horizontal scrolling idea, that coupled with the popular blocks-based organisation using Desktop VisualizeR, I can actually imagine an elegant and beautiful sideways-scrolling home screen.
Would give my full support for testing if anybody can come up with such a launcher!
I've created and collected game icons with a "black plate" theme ever since my first Android phone. I've also tinkered with dock icons and come up with a look I like. I decided there might be someone else out there who is as particular as I am about the way my icons look if they're on a homescreen.
I use Folder Organizer from the Play Store to create single homescreen icons that pop up a window for multiple apps. This is very helpful for games. I have 30 or so...but don't want to scroll through all of them. So I group them by something in common (finger swiping, emulator, etc). Here is what it looks like for me. Screenshot
Here are my game icons. Screenshot

Also, I use LauncherPro. I've tried them all, and always come back. One thing I love, is the swipe options on your dock icons. Especially for web-browsing. Here you can see my dock icons and the reason why I'd take up one of my 5 spots with a Browser shortcut given LauncherPro's swipe feature. Screenshot

Download Spearoid Dock Icons Personally, I think the clear ones are the best-looking.
If you end up using my game icons and wish I had a game icon for a game you play that I don't, feel free to mention the game title in this thread and I'll see if I can add it to the mix!
UPDATE: So my gaming icons are the neatest, tidiest collection I have, but here are the icons I've used for my apps that are not game-related. Some I just re-sized from the internet, some I made on my own. Screenshot
Download Spearoid Misc Icons
Those are some nice icons, don't have a lot of games so not much use to me though. Are these usable on home screen also or just in folders? I'm currently using Lightning launcher, not as modifiable as Launcher Pro, Go launcher, etc but it is lite and fast. For me the others just seem to bog down after awhile.

Not really a gamer, so doesn't do a whole lot for me. But thee workmanship is excellent. Good job.

thanks for the kind words TXWolf1980.
As for the question from KJW979, these are just .png files. Any program that allows you to change the icon of a shortcut should allow you to use these....launchers and organizers like the folder organizer app I mentioned.
I've updated the OP to include icons for my apps that aren't for games. They are more random so I didn't think to upload them.
Greetings,
I've had a Samsung Infuse for 9 years now, and I've been using the "Android Phone 7" look. For those who don't know/remember, this was a highly customized "theme" hand-made by using Desktop Visualizer and Launcher Pro. The screens were divided by "panels" (1x4, 1x3, 2x4, 2x2, 4x1, etc.) and we made our own buttons using Photoshop.
Here are some threads discussing the old method of doing this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455
https://androidforums.com/threads/android-phone-7-theme.199936
I'm being forced to finally upgrade phones, so I went with a Galaxy s9+. I've been browsing custom themes, and no one seems to be using this style anymore. The Desktop Visualizer app hasn't been updated in years, and I'm not even sure if this would work with a modern Launcher like Nova. I know all of my images/buttons would have to be re-made with a much higher resolution, but that's no problem.
Does anyone have their phone set up like this? If so, how did you achieve it?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
You can achieve this by using Lightning Launcher. You can make the launcher scroll vertically, add your own tiles in, and you can make the side app drawer too. I've done it before but I use a more simple concept these days. I'm really surprised this launcher isn't more popular in the Android community since it's the most customizable one I've found. Everyone recommends Nova, which is basic and boring. You could probably also do it using KLWP and a vertically scrolling launcher. Once you learn to use Lightning or KLWP you can make pretty much anything you can dream up.

Thanks for the response. The original "Android Phone 7" theme is horizontal scrolling. Why do you suggest vertical?
Ah, my mistake. I thought you wanted to replicate the Windows Phone 7 launcher exactly.
