As the title says, please show us your homescreens. If you can tell which Launcher, Theme, Icon Pack or Widgets that are there in the screenshots, please do so.
Here's mine:
Launcher, Theme, Icons, Widgets: all stock. I'm the type of user who after setting my personal information on the phone the first thing I download is Nova Launcher, but boy TouchWiz has evolved into something I wouldn't mind rocking as my main launcher. Pretty indeed.
Minimalistic, I know, but that how's I roll.
here is mine..... Theme Store PixelizeD theme with a Google wallpaper
pretty simple
just switched to the Pixel Live wallpaper...otherwise, same theme/look
I also usually install Nova, LINE or Apex Launcher on a device as soon as I get it. I decided to take the stock launcher for a test run this time and I have to say I am pretty happy with it. I also have a case coming that will activate a specific theme when it is on the device (EXO case, only being released in South Korea). This case is an official Samsung case, and is a collaboration between Samsung and SM Entertainment (the company EXO is signed to).
Theme is 'Keep Calm and Love Flowers'. It's really pretty and quite minimal, which I love.

I agree, the Experience launcher is quite nice but I flipped back to ActionLauncher 3 because no dock and more grid options. Using minimal clock and weather lines, wallpaper is a photo I took last summer.
Here's my setup
Square Home Launcher 2

Do you mind is I ask how you changed individual icons (the ones in your dock) while using touchwiz?
Trying to have fun with basic themes till root.
Those glass folders look great tbh just waiting on a better icon pack while being cheap.
Really wish the theme choser had a bit more customization but it's the best phone I've had in that department that isn't rooted, doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, rom or some kind of half assed icon changing app so I can't complain.

The option to theme Touchwiz comes with Android 7.0 I think. I upgraded my s7 edge a month or so ago and all of a sudden I could theme Touchwiz. The s8 came with 7.0 out of the box. The themes are purchased using Samsung Pay from the inbuilt theme store. The theme selection currently is not brilliant, but there are some *really* beautiful themes available and new ones being released all the time.
There are free and paid themes, as well as backgrounds, icons and Always On Display (AODs).
I have to admit that I am really impressed at the moment. I am eagerly awaiting my Exo NFC case that will automatically load the EXO theme when the case is snapped on.
I've added some screen caps to this post so you can see how easy it is to get to the themes.
we already have a thread for this. Please use the link below

Hi Customization freeks! Howdidoo?
It’s quite long we are waiting for MIUI to be ported to our fav SGT. But seem’s like things are pretty slow. So, there is something I come across the market to fill in the GAP.
Yes, It’s again a Chinese Theme based application works pretty well on upto 4.3” screens but do not disappoints the 7 incher either.
I wonder how XDA Developer.com did not focus on this application. Here’s the market link.
https://market.android.com/search?q=sskin+butterfly&so=1&c=apps
The previews of the themes are in Chinese but when you apply the themes, they adopt the system language. Well, I really don’t know for the other languages but yes for the English. At least 15 themes are free and there is no sign anywhere on the net that, someone must have uploaded the paid themes. I guess this application is new and will do wonders gradually.
Apart from this, I would like to suggest few more fancy applications which you guys must be well aware of for those who are not, try them.
Go Keyboard,
Go Contact’s,
Go Weather,
Battery widget viewer,
Circle Launcher.
I hope this will keep you busy until MIUI pops up
So what exactly does it theme? Is it a replacement launcher?

seems like there are people like minds. only difference is i play with it and stay awake, you play with it when you don't get sleep.
i wish someone could've updated the paid theme's they are sexy specially the rain theme.
It's slow, and the customization options that you have is even less than Zeam. You can't even set it to have more rows x columns in the homescreen, nor can you resize widgets.
And it looks Korean since most of its themes are based on Korean artists.

I'm too scared to root and I wouldn't know the first place to start to mod my SGS2 Skyrocket, so I looked into some themes via google play.
Go Launcher EX is pretty sweet IMO... I won't pay for themes obviously, but they have a few really cool themes for lock screen and the home screen.
Im using the sms theme, the home theme, and lock theme.
I'm pretty happy with the way it works on ICS (stock) on my skyrocket.
So, do you like/use go launcher ex?

I tried it, but it drained my battery more quickly that other launchers. I'm using ADW EX, and I like it.
Don't be afraid to root, and install a rom. I would spend a good while reading the stickies, and tutorials before doing anything. If you have questions, just ask.
I use Go Launcher Ex as my primary launcher on both my Nook Tablet and my Skyrocket (As well as Go SMS for SMS) and I love it. There are a lot of themes that are available for free, though I usually modify the themes (using the preferences) to use parts of different themes.
I used to use Go Launcher, and it was pretty good, but now I've moved on to bigger and better things (I'm a Nova Prime user right now.) If you're looking for a good lockscreen, I can't recommend anything other than Widgetlocker. By far the best lockscreen I've found yet. I think it's like, 99 cents in the Play Store, but it's well worth it!
RAM hog

I seriously dislike Go Launcher. It's a resource hog, it's laggy, and it's not nearly as robust as Apex or the S3 launcher.
Seriously, just root.. follow all the instructions carefully and everything should be fine.
Do these things, in this order:
1) root
2) flash CWM Touch 6.0.1.0 (available here)
3) make a nanbackup
4) flash CM9 Chimera v2.2 (available here)
5) install Apex launcher
6) profit greatly
I use to use Go Launcher the first weeks I was using my phone then after testing out other launchers I stuck with Apex, another good one is Nova. Since I use CM9/AOKP I just use their themes and make it fancy looking :silly:
Using go launcher and I think it's fine, I found the organization of it was better than other launchers I tried.
I would never use go launcher on ics. Apex is far better. Or nova

Yeah I un installed the applications related to the go launcher and needless to say I saved about 3-400 MB of ram. Needless to say I won't bother using that again.
I'm not quite comfortable rooting just yet. Maybe when I get bored of the phone as I typically get with any phone.

Either way, I would still suggest either Nova or Apex. If you're not willing to pay money, I'd go with Apex, as it'll have a couple more free features that you're used to from Go Launcher, but if you're okay dropping a few bucks on a launcher for your phone, both Apex and Nova are pretty much equal. I just like the look of the icon and the name of Nove Launcher, so that's why I went with it over Apex.

Nope. Root helps them integrate a little bit better, but they're just ICS launchers.

Without root, you can't install widgets straight from the app drawer in Apex.
Or lots of other neat tricks.
I tried GO for about a week after getting my phone. As others have said, it's a RAM hog and a battery-drainer. I've also tried 360 Launcher, and am not a big fan of it for similar reasons. Apex Pro is my launcher of choice, as it's versatile, not very memory-intensive, and not much of a battery drain at all. I had intended to try Nova, but Apex has just been so good for me that I never saw a need to.

lol, then I guess he should go with Nova, as I haven't had any problems with it without root
I went with apex. I haven't checked how much memory it's using but I do enjoy their free themes. I'm not one for widgets yet, I'm still an android noob, but I am definitely loving my s2. Makes me wonder if I should've gotten the s3. But for the headache and money and effort to get the s3, its not worth it to me.
The s2 is quite the phone. Android customization ability over apple proprietary operating systems any day, IMO.
Sorry that was OT. However, I like apex. Currently using the Plate Theme 4 with a stolen blue background from another theme. It's lovely!
Based on this thread, I've looked at both Nova and Apex (in the market, not on my phone). Both look great, though I'm not sure that I like the idea of paying for unread notifications...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against it; just seems a bit odd to me. That's one of the features that I would use most. I can't see any of the other paid features that would be a ton of use to me (provided I could replace icons on either free version, Go has some good themes, but the theme builder being partially in Chinese with no way to change it is a huge turn off).
Go does have one feature I really like that Apex and Nova lack and that is the ability to resize homescreen icons, not just in the dock. Not as important on my Skyrocket, but would be nice to have on my wife's Note since the icons look too small to me on that large screen. But, like others mentioned, it is a resource hog plus runs in the background even when it is not the default launcher (I mean, WTF?!), but the kicker is it cannot use icon packs that I have purchased in the past which work on ADW, Apex, and Nova.

I don't know about Apex, but I know Nova can use Go Launcher themes. That opens up a lot more customization for you.

I have just accepted having to pay for quality apps that are basically system parts. I've payed for PowerAmp, Nova Prime, and Widget Locker and I find it extremely worth it. They're all quality apps that run smooth and integrate perfectly. Now, for random other apps, I'm a total cheap-skate and I hate paying for anything.
Got my infinity a few days ago and have just started customizing. I used ADWex on my prime and planned on doing so with the Infinity (maybe until chameleon). Is anyone using it? Any issues so far?
One thing i noticed is that i do not have the status bar on top with the normal blue line? I was able to work around this using a shortcut to the adw settings, but i usually keep the status bar on until i am completely done with the build.
I also seem to lose all apps/widgets/icons on my main screen every 10 or so times that i hit the app drawer. hit the drawer again and they all come back.
Look forward to everyone's feedback. I had an entire hubs setup on my prime that i was going to work back to.
Thanks!

Hubs won't work because multipicture lwp lags like hell. Also, ADW is pretty outdated, hasn't been updated for a few months.
i agree it needs an update, i just havent had guts to swap launchers. I love the dock and functionality of adw.
BTW-multipicture is working on mine right now? 5 screens, 5 separate pics, no noticable lag. Are you having issues?
i have it working ok, also until chameleon (should get my beta key soon XD )
obviously increased colomns and rows for the tablet compared to my xperia s, but works well. not as smooth as i'd like, and yes its out of date by quite a long way, but ok until chameleon/jelly bean combo!
does anyone know if its ever going to be updated again, or is it dead in the water now?
I am going to assume that 90% are using stock ICS and the few that arent are APEX/NOVA right?
I just switched to ADWex because Apex and Nova were crashing all the time. The stock launcher wastes too much screen space so I was trying to find a launcher that would allow me to go edge to edge. ADWex does that and I've only had a few crashes with it.
It's an old launcher and doesn't like some widgets. I'm like everyone else, I'm waiting for Chameleon. Should get my email notice today!
Give Nova Launcher a try. Its really nice.
Do not assume any such thing...

I believe that isn't even a good working assumption. First, I suspect that first adopters are typically more experienced Android owners. In my experience, experienced users are rarely happy with many stock applications; hence not likely to be happy with the launcher and are willing to try other launchers.
For my self, I have yet to find a stock launcher whose functionality isn't limited. On my TF700t I switched it out a couple of hours after getting the tablet. Until recently I had been using, successfully, ADWlauncher EX. The other day I installed Nova Launcher to test it and it is the current 'default' launcher.
that is a good point for sure. I didnt think about the early adopter status.
Thoughts on Nova vs Adw EX?

You make us sound like angry old men unhappy with anything stock
Currently the best launcher for TF700T is..... GO LAUNCHER HD. Give it some times nothing can catch up with it. Currently it only has about 60% of the features of Go Launcher Ex. Go Launcher Ex has proved to be the top launcher for all smart phones.
Adwex is the only launcher i'll use on tablet. Soo much faster sand flexible than other launchers. Status bar is the only odd thing i've noticed, but can get to setting from menu.
I have a GN 10.1 and came from a TF201. In order to keep the "Hubs" format on my TF201, I used ADW Ex, which worked great. That being said, the TF201 was a pretty vanilla experience. Since the GN 10.1 has TW, not sure how much functionality is lost by going to another launcher.
Any recommendations?
Well, on ICS I prefer Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Funny thing though. When either are used on my Note 10.1, the seem to mess up he wallpaper resolution, blowing it up too large. Switch back to the stock launcher and the wallpaper goes back to normal. Switch again back to Nova and it will be normal for a while and then go bad from turning off the screen and back on. No idea why...anyone else?
I use Nova on my tablets since I opted to buy the prime version...

I also bought Nova and switched my phone over to it from Apex. Do yoyu experience this wallpaper thing? It happens to me on the stock wallpapers as well as pictures from gallery
I didn't have this issue on my first Note 10.1 last week, and will let you know about my new one that arrived today.
(I switched from 16gb to 32gb...)
On my GNote I prefer Apex, ATM. One thing making me crazy tho, is that the dock isn't transparent. Can't find a way to do it. I know I can hide it, but if it's hidden you can't specify how many folders/icons you can put on it. TYIA

I am using... SPB Shell 3D
I forgot I bought this launcher a long time ago because my Galaxy phone got detroyed as i was coming off contract so i grabbed an iphone4s- :silly:
I loaded it up about 4 days ago and i can confirm it works great. No lag, no issues. The price is a little steep but i feel it was worth it. Comes with plenty of widgets and you can use any other widgets. The only issue found so far is you can not use a live wallpaper with it. But no big deal as i dont use them much.
Might not be for everyone because of cost$$ but it sure looks nice on the 10.1 note and is a head turner out in public.
Touchwiz still works with it as well ( a plus for some and neg for others) I have no issue with TW..

Hmm. Maybe there is something wrong in my saved config for nova. Think I will try again without a restore from titanium...otherwise I suppose I will try a wipe to defaults. BTW, for me this happened with the 4.0.4 the Note came with as well as the update from the other day. Odd
So, this wallpaper screen res problem is with any launcher than the stock and is annoying the crap out of me
To confirm, nobody else with the Note 10.1 has their wallpaper resolution reduced by Nova, Apex, whatever launcher...The wallpaper blows up to large, but can be messed with to get it to go to the right size, but doesn't last?
If not this unit is going back for an exchange. Too expensive a toy to be irritated by it

No, everything remains intact. The S-pen is independent of the launcher. I've ever seen reports that you can use Samsungs widgets with other launchers, I have not confirmed this though.

I had bought Chameleon through Kickstarter and couldn't wait to install it, but was extremely disappointed with the result. I use ADWEX on my S3 but wanted something more optimized for ICS and tablets. Decided to try Apex and absolutely love it. From being able to have quick buttons for Google Search and Voice Search/Commands in the top right corner of every screen to the customization of the bottom launch bar and the cool look of folders, it's just about perfect. I use one of the basic live wallpapers (northern lights) and it works fine for me with no issues.

Or just use 2.5 samsung one UI?
I like the smoothness and the animations but will miss the gestures of Nova?
Been using Nova (prime) since ice cream days.
See no reason to stop.
Kind of like using classic shell or open shell now on Windows...
RE: Animations.
HATE them!
I disable animations on everything as soon as I get it.
With animations off (in Nova set to light speed), everything is fast.
Click on something, BOOM! It either appears or goes away...in an INSTANT.
I'll try One UI for a few days, but have no doubts I'll be back to using Nova.
Can someone confirm third party launchers now support android gestures navigation?
I have the Nova Launcher Premium. But I've been using the Microsoft Launcher (β) for some years now. Having come from pure Android One, I like how Microsoft Launcher is more fluid and efficient to my daily driver. I have yet to try Samsung's One UI
Using NOVA for years and see no reason to use Samsung UI. NOVA is much more customizable and just as fast.
I've been using nova for the longest gonna take alot for one ui to change that

im a fan of nova but not a die hard fan like the messages before me. if the samsung ui is nice and does what i want it to, ill stick with it. i dO like novas gestures but i probably only use 40% of what nova can really do. so for me, we will see....
I find myself loving One UI.

It's silly, but I decided to order a Note 20 Ultra after hearing that.

Yep, just tested myself in the store.
It works, but looks like most of the launchers are not optimized and are kinda glitchy...
If I could get the Google Now feed on the left for One UI, I'd give it a shot. I love my Google Now page and its integration with Nova Prime.

that is not confirmed at all .... he didnt test the quick switch between windows ... when you swipe across the bottom of the screen
if this gestural navigation features works, then I will most likely buy a N20U.
my P40 Pro works with some gestural navigation but not the quick switch between windows.

I tried to reach out to the reviewer over twitter to see if he can verify the quick switch ... Sadly it's the first time I've used twitter so someone else might want to ask as well, in case I didn't message correctly.... It would be great to have quick switch working
I put Nova on all my phones & will with the 20 Ultra.
I hate huge Icons & Samsung UI doesn't let make them small enough.

most of us will have our phones by wednesday so just hold out a couple more days..
Why do you need third party gestures compatibility when you already have One Hand Operation+?
The reasons I'm using a third party launcher is for icons theme and for having more than 5 columns.
