Best Launcher ever! Xperia 206b & a workatound fix. No root needed. - Moto X Themes and Apps

Update
You can use any wallpaper you want but it shows as black, some skewed icons in app drawer bottom row. No other issues on Moto Z.
Good news: The folder bug does not exists for the Z!
I cannot find a more satisfying launcher in spite of its "no folder" bug.
The TSF was too much of a Hog.
I have moved on to TSF Shell. It has all the features of Xperia & more. Worth the price too.
If you create a folder it will not last. While the workaround fixes the loss of icons. Lossed folders are also a consequence of the initial bug.
In fact may be the cause of the bug.
Therefore folder creation is not allowed on any homescreen! !
Those on launcher pro plus OR nova launcher can put the xperia app drawer in place of the stock app drawer. Xperia drawer button in center, Nova button on right.

Xperia drawer
On the msm8960's, which includes the x, the launcher is marred by the Bootup condition where (sometimes) homepage icons/shortcuts are missing. A launcher/settings > restart launcher is a fix.
Dev is no longer supporting this launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103403

Can you sort apps by install time?
If you use launcher pro plus or Nova prime, you get tremendous shortcut creation features, to the level that you may add the xperia app drawer to the LPP bar instead of the stock drawer.

There are at least 6 launchers to choose from. Probably more. Take your pic.
1. ADW Launcher
2. Launcher Pro
3. Stock Launcher, lol.
4. Launcher 7
5. Go Launcher
6. Zeam Launcher
also the Regina Launcher..
out of the list, I've gone with Go Launcher as it's the most stable for me. ADW I tried several times but it keeps screwing up, notification bar goes missing, etc.. so I just dumped it altogether
SPB Mobile Shell, not my favorite but lots of eye candy.

I concur. Although SPB Shell is not my choice but surely a beautiful "creation". Lol
P.S. You can also try using the Sense clock widget on your main screen. I've have it setup where if I double tap on the "hour area" it launches the "Go weather app/widget" which is really cool. Also try different launchers thar give u an option to also customize your icons. For example:

[APP] Huawei Launcher 2.2.1

This is a very beautiful launcher. Maybe someone can mod this for new possibilities.
I concur, it does look nice. seems to run fine... but I am sticking with adw. not that there is anything wrong with this launcher. but once I find an app that works the way I like its hard to make me change... although, I would at least consider it for this launcher.

I dont use this launcher daily but it has very usefull things.
You can hide icons and uninstall files directly from appdrawer. Its light and speed.
Built in conversation widget is very usefull. You can enable/disable icon backgrounds...
What i want if anyone can do is removing home icon and disabling 3d effect.
Very nice launcher! I've try on my nexus ( JB ) It i stall and It start but contiusly reboot... It would be great If someone try to port it
I just tried this launcher on a x10 mini no way to use it ....it don't reboot but it seems not stable on my device

such a shame that it didn't have scroll widget support :\
I downloaded and installed it on my Huawei Y300-0100 installation success but when i launch the app it keeps on crashing and I cannot use the phone anymore. Any fix for this? or the app itself is not compatible with my device?

You realize the apk was posted in 2011 right? I doubt that you are going to receive any support on such an old post.

ICS Google Search Widget Theme - High Res/Universal

Hey guys, just wanted to share an ICS search widget mod that works perfectly on our Notes. (Gingerbread) I found this app on the market awhile back, but was pulled down for an unknown reason. I did not write this app & unfortunately I do not even know who to give credit to.
Either way, this is the best method I've found for getting a high res ICS themed search widget - the voice icon also works perfectly. Just install the APK as you would any other application (file manager, root explorer, etc) and the widget will show up in your widget menu.
Here is a screenshot and download link :

You'll need a launcher that allows you to resize widgets, otherwise it will be 4x1 like the stock widget. I use ADW EX w/ 6x1. I know Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, SPB shell 3d, and many others will allow you to resize it.

How did you get your dock to look like that? I have the background image and the ICS icons, however when I set the background that white line touches the top of the icons rather than there being a "gap" like there should be!
I use Kovdev's ICS theme which i believe works with ADW and Go launcher.
Just reporting it worked for me in my Ace...

Will be great when authors let users delete Baidu's search widget and optimize RAM usage. Until then I'll be using QQ launcher which is similiar but has less features.

The 360 launcher lags on your x10 device but does not lags on my x10 mini pro
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
And 360 doesn't have scrollable widgets.
if u could you might want to try and fix the brightness, if u change it using the built on widget or one built into your slide down status bar that only changes the launcher thing.
its nbd but only real flaw i see
this launcher is a keeper
Possibly one of the best launchers but i dont like the icons.
Using themes icons are small. and why it says APPS in appdrawer
Came across this a while ago. I like most of the features, but the app launch transition irritates me - despite having the ability to customise page transitions and app drawer transitions, there's no launch transition option, so it's not quite my cup of tea yet.
It's the launcher from a very nice rom. DX OS. Available for quite a few phones. Also have other apps on market from the rom. Search for Tapas Mobile.

Used DxHome for a few hours , 2 things i don't like about it , can't remove search widget from 1st screen & the home-screen transitions not very smooth (a bit laggy) on my SGS II i9100G !!
I appreciate the overall appearance of the home-screen & i also loved it's default icons !!
I used to have 3.0.4 and 3.0.9 versions on my samsung galaxy s i9000.
However 3.0.9 was the last version that ever worked well for me. Since this version all I get is very slow app drawer

[APP] [Launcher] [Any 4.4.x, 5.x 6.x +] Launcher3 from Nexus 5 Custom ROM for Moto X

Hello everyone.
I searched a lot for this Launcher since I got registered in XDA and I found it on a Custom ROM at another specific forum related only to Motorola devices.
This Launcher is named as launcher3.apk, deodexed and is expected to run on any device running 4.4.x (or newer).
The way this is different from the others is the possibility of customize number of Rows and Collums on the Workspace, enable or disable Google Search Bar, resize widgets like on the Samsung phones (due some google widgets can't be resized if 4 or less colums as default on any version), clear, smooth and low battery consumption.
It also has the transparent app drawer and transparent app drawer button different from the google now launcher and older launchers that appears the ICS google launcher or the Jelly Bean one. If someone wants to edit it and recompile so that it could work in 4.3 or older versions, feel free to do it.
I hope all you enjoy it. [emoji23] [emoji23] :good:
