Looking for a new launcher.. - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so I'm running PACROM and I want a new launcher.. kinda like an iPad one, the reasoning for this is because i never use widgets so I go straight to the app menu every time i wanna load something so i wouldnt mind cutting that out so just having all my apps on the home screen like thanks

This isn't quite what you're saying but similar I use GMD and I created one gesture that brings up about fifty of my most used apps. its real handy
. One two finger Pinch for that one then another two finger Expand for all the settings shortcuts. I rarley go to the drawer now and my 2 (only) Homescreens are only a clock and my wallpaper. Super fast setup.

Thanks for the reply!
Is there anything else like this (preferably free) that doesn't look like iOS? (I know, why would I want iOS features without the iOS look?)

I use the MIUI rom, even though I'm not a fan of the iProducts. Aside from a few features and the lack of an app drawer, mine doesn't look like an iPhone since I've themed it. It has the feature you're looking for, but I'm not sure if they make the rom for your phone - or if you're rooted, for that matter.
I know Go Launcher Ex does this in the app drawer. I didn't use it long enough to notice if it does it on the homescreens as well.
thanks for the info - I'm an ex-iphone user and I'll check these out.

Meh.
App Drawer is so laggy(cool transition effects though,love the sphere)
Cannot remove icon label backgrounds
Icons are small(well compared to iOS)
Set the wallpaper as a solid black color, lower the crap out of your dpi and delete all your widgets?
Or is that not what you meant?
There is a QQLauncher in the General Android Development Forum that's trying to imitate MIUI's Launchers behavior.
MIUI is as Close as you can get to iPhone (imo).
Then there's a 'few' icon packs that try imitating iPhone's ICONs aswell.

QQlauncher has an app drawer though.
There is a ported MIUI launcher but it's pretty laggy.

Try Launcher 7 theme.
Dont need root, and basically turns your phone into a Windows Phone.
I use it as my standard screen now, its awesome

badtip.I bought the ADW launcher and it makes it look like an iphone.I also found an IPhone launcher port to Android...yeah it sucks..i wanted a modified one with widgets and drawers,but i found my answer in ADW.
Also,why dig this thread out of its grave ? @[email protected]
Espier Launcher will give you an iphone feel. Grab it before they get sued off the planet.
wow, that launcher is a pretty damn good attempt. Needs a little bit of work but would work well for someone looking for a springboard launcher

TSF shell (many screenshots)

I am using it now, although it may have a lot of UI effects, but amazingly all the effects are buttery smooth, no lags at all on my Note. It is easily the smoothest launcher I ever used (I have Go, ADW and the stock Touchwhiz).
However the price is high, and a few functions still not available now, but I'm sure they will be added in future updated (they need cash urgently to keep the project alive, I think)
When this is fully done, it will be the best launcher on the market ^^
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tsf.shell#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDIxMiwiY29tLnRzZi5zaGVsbCJd
I was looking forward to it but the price tag put me off and if u take a screen shot and zoom in on the icons u will notice that the icons are lower resolution then for example stock launcher.
And if you for example take and place the Box widget on both TSF shell and on the TW home screen u will se that even the widget have some kind of lesser image quality on the TSF home screen. I have no idea why, But the white backgroud isnt as sharp and detailed on the TSF launcher compare to TW. And on the top blue color on the widget u can see stripes in the color and in TW there are no stripes. I dont know if it has something to do with color depth or something.
This occur on version 1.2
There is a thread about it already with plenty of feedback from all the peeps that have trying it

Strange, it says that my device is incompatible.
I installed it on mine yesterday. I must say this is the best launcher I have ever seen and just amazingly "smooth". I mean no lag at all. I tried tons of launchers on my note but nothing come close to these. So powerful! Rotate icons anywhere, the sticky note is also bad ass. Flexible! I captured a short clip last night while I was playing with it. Still trying to figure some other features.

I download for free from google
Guys this launcher using 20 mb ram, its same like stock. After 20 min play I dont want to comeback to touch wiz Launcher at all.
Fast, smooth and so "smart"

Not sure about the smoothness of the app tray graphics. Looks a bit blurry like its being scaled up.

the biggest problem for me is..after using all the launchers swiping left and right on homescreen to go to next screen, its so irritating in this launcher we cant swype like that instead its giving some multi selection option which annoys me the most!!!

It totally sucks. Even though I got it free it was uninstalled in minutes. It is nothing more than a tech demo in current state. After some updates it might be worth to use

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

iPhone looking icons???
Would not touch this....
Mine is SPB Shell 3D
Yes it is a shell replacement so asks for more permissions than I am usually comfortable giving but.....
You pay for it... to me it means Quality and Support
Have great Widgets bundled with the shell .... get what you pay for
Trusted vendor has been around for years
If I wanted an iPhone, I would have went out and wasted my money on an iPhone. No thanks.

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. It's smooth, I mainly only use widgets on my screens, only one icon, and use the rotating dock (yes, I know Ex has it also), and it just flat out rocks for me.

Watched the video for it, pretty wild but is too much for me honestly. I like it simple.
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.
I tried it out. Actually a very cool launcher after changing the theme. Very smooth and fast.

ICS style on ANY ROM

This may be old news for a lot of a people, but since I can't find any mention of it in the G2x Forums, then I figured there were probably still enough people who don't know about it to warrant a new thread.
If you're like me and got tired of the instabilities of ICS roms and switched to a GB one, but missed the look and feel of ICS, then here is your answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636393
Holo Launcher works for 2.2 and above. I've been running it on top of HFP 2.2 for 3 days with no problems. It does a great job of giving you an ICS feel on your GB ROM and also features pinch previews and scrollable docks. I recommend using this with a rom that supports Theme Chooser to fully customize your device and really get that Sandwich feel (or whatever other feel you want )
thats pretty cool, gonna try this when i get home, thanks for posting this!
I've been using it for 2 days and it is nice and gives the same exact feel of stock launcher of 4.0.4 without the lag haha, I wish Widgets would work but it is only a beta ;-)

Widgets are working for me. Just not in the ICS style of pulling them from the app drawer, which is not a huge deal for me.

Only if it had lock screen gesture and delete/uninstall apps directly from the app drawer. The two things that won't let me go of the Golauncher.

My current rom supports lockscreen gestures (I use them frequently). And if you hold down on an app from the app drawer, drag it to the delete/trash icon, and hold it there, it turns into an uninstall icon. Note: this only works with downloaded apps and not system apps.***
Oh.. and I appreciate thanks, but if you try the launcher and like it, please show your support and thanks to dev in the original thread linked in the OP. Thanks!
Its Ok, doesn't compare to ADW with the ICS Sqrd paid theme is smooth silky Butter!
I tried this before, it's not bad but I'd rather use GO Launcher EX with an ICS theme. It's just way smoother for my phone.
The jelly bean update is nice.... People don't seem to like the search bar but I think it's cool
