Can anyone recommend a good Android Kit Kat Launcher for the HTC Desire S. Have tried a few but I don't think they are very good. I am looking for one that will allow me to have more than three home screens.

you can with the default launcher. just long press on home screen then press widgets (or apps) then press and hold a widget and u see the 3 dots there should be a + on the right of the 3 dots, just drag the widget over to the right and it will add new screen.

Thanks for your reply. I currently have Android 4.0 so was thinking about putting a launcher on to my phone. Please can you tlel me which launcher is the best to download. I assume that when you mean the default launcher, you mean a phone that has Kit Kat already on it by default?

I want to get some themes on my phone but it appears you need a home replacement app, so whats the best one for the x10?
try Helix Launcher. donut version
For me the best one is PandaHome
Hi kingsize93 - Have you tried Helix and OpenHome+ ??
I'd like to hear your thoughts of them all if possible?
Thanks.
Zeam can be a good option as well
Personally I like Home ++ Landscape looks awesome
GDE is the best!

for me GDE is also the best with the Hero theme. Smooth and cool animation. The cube transition is awesome.

Agrééd! I tried them all, Home++ is simply amazing, especially the powerstrip, wow!
Any way to get launcherpro on the X10?
Home++ is wonderful!! But when I tap on the menu icon, there is a too big time latency before the menù is completely loaded!

That only happens the first time. They did this to accelerate startup. Go to Preferences>Performance>"Lazy load'' and uncheck

When you are in the (Home++) homescreen, hit the menu button (left button on the Xperia with four small squares on it) then you'll see a menu popping up with 'preferences' in the lower left corner.
Home++ is the best and nicest looking i came across.
Helix for Donut
I use the donut version of helix and i am very impressed by it.

by double tapping the home button, you can bring up a custom 5x4 screen that lets you place shortcuts/widgets on it that opens over top whatever app you're running
seems like a really great idea
Re: QuickDesk Beta
Great idea, very useful. Must have app
This is...sexy. I am enjoying it. It took me a few seconds to figure out how it worked, but once I got it, It's sexy. hehehe.
Oh man. Genius. Thanks dude.
EDIT: landscape mode would be nice.
Hrm, just tried on 2.2 and it doesn't seem to work unless I set it up wrong. When I tap the home button twice it just takes me home lol.

you need to set it as your default launcher, then in quickdesk, you can set up your launcher as whatever you want

So, basically, clear defaults, and when you press home, and it says what launcher do you want to use, instead of launcher2, adw, or launcherpro (whatever you're using) you press "QuickDesk" then you double tap the home button, bring up quickdesk (you have to tap pretty quickly) and then press options - preferences. Then click 'default home' and set it back to your launcher. There, you can also change the delay for the double tap. Default is 300 miliseconds.
It's a cool app! Now I m thinking of moving the apps from my ADW apps dock to the QuickDesk, so I hv access to those apps anytime, anywhere!
Thanks for the great app!

I did exactly that, the dock is useless with this app and much faster to access

Me2, and Home key assign back to ADW Launcher itself, with dock disabled.
Is it like Power Strip?
Edit // market didnt work some minutes ago.. now it does. Its not like power strip
I'm loving this app. Thanks for the notification!
I can't make a decision between this and power strip.
I love this app! Very useful!
Sexy as hell
Very nice, two suggestions, add the option for a notification bar, and have it close on widget selection.
Hellow all,
yesterday I decided to change my launcher on my X10
and I found launcher pro on the market
I also installed home switcher (it asked me to install if I can't open launcherpro)
well... what I want to ask is
1. Is it ok to have two launcher in my X10?
because when I installed launcherpro and reboot for the first time, it just went into a forced close loop for about 3 times..
I have set the launcherpro as my default launcher
2. Does the battery decline very fast under laucherpro?
I installed launcherpro, home switcher and adfree yesterday and the battery just declined from 20% to 8% in about two hours
I had never seen this before...
can somebody please help me
I have launcher pro on my x10 and it works great. I dont use home switcher. And no, no battery drain.
how can you open up launcherpro when there is the original one without home switcher?

You should get a option to choose between Launchers.. go to apps-manage apps-find the launcher(default), clear the default action- go back to homescreen-enable chosse launcher as default-pick launcherpro.

Is it done in root explorer?
I cant find the launcher(default)
Is it in the system/app?
I found only SemcHomeL.apk
Go to Settings->Applications->Manage applications->Find Launcher(not LauncherPro), tap on it-> Clear defaults..
Then tap the home button, and choose LauncherPro

This!
All you do is go to Settings \ Applications then find your default home launcher and clear everything, then when you hit the home button, it will ask you which home app you want to use.
I did it step by step, don't judge me!
Anyone know how to delete the home page with the widgets on it? I can delete all but one widget.....
You probably could have combined posts since you're asking two things that are somewhat related.
I'm not sure if you are on stock launcher or not, you weren't specific, but assuming that you are what you can do is pinch to zoom out on a home screen and then tap and hold onto a screen and drag that to the top bar where it says remove. Keep in mind that at a minimum you must have one , magazine ux page and one standard page when using the stock launcher.
Didnt think they were the same issue.
What I wanted to do (stock launcher) is get rid of the screen (now I know its the magazine ux) and only leave the home screens with the apps......
Guess thats not going to work......

You could always replace the stock launcher with something else. Nova and Apex are popular choices.
If the Magazine UX isn't your cup of tea I'm guessing you'll find the customization of Nova to be great once you start diving into resizeable widgets, smaller margins and additional row/column options.

Hi, can you please expand on how Titanium backup would be able to get rid of the magazine widget page please? Or were you just kidding around?
Am I the very 1st human to figure out a way to stay on stock touchwiz launcher & remove the magazine widget page?!?!? BUT there is a HUGE sacrifice,.,. BUT maybe a fix can be made to it so ALL Touchwiz tablet users can be magazine widget page FREE on stock launcher!
On mine I simple went to settings > Applications > All > Magazine UX, and disabled it...
Before I replaced Touchwiz with Apex, that is.
We aren't talking about the app/apps, we're talking about the entire screen where those Widgets are..

1) Perform the "pinch to zoom out" command on the home screen
2) Select "Home screen settings"
3) Uncheck the "Content Home screen" option
Don't know if you still need this, but I came here wondering the same thing and just now figured it out

Can I program the home key for my smart key single press?
Yes, just select your launcher for the shortcut.

You always have a launcher, the one that comes with the phone is called Huawei Home, but had a look now and couldn't find it among the apps you can choose from.
So you'll need a custom launcher for that. I'd recommend Action Launcher. Nova and Sapphire is quite nice as well.
Thanks, not quite my home screen, but a very good solution that will probably turn out better than using my home screen.

wait official OTA , Will be Fixed .
It's so annoying that there is a system process which is the H home app yet we can't find it in the list. I really like the stock launcher and I don't want to have to change to another one.
