[Q] Is ADW Launcher EX working properly on the Note?

Hi, anyone here able to confirm if it's working properly on the Note? I am kinda concerned if the resolution will affect ADW EX...

Works fine except coming from sgs2 the adw on note is a tad laggier when swiping screen i think cuz it aint optmised yet. Especially whem u start putting a hell of a lot of widgets on it. It was irritating enuf for me i reverted back to the stock t wiz. That said apparently other home screen replscements GO included seem to be having the same problem
. Gotta wait for some custom roms cuz it coukd be stock rom issue

I try to use adw in my note
Oops...
Very lag
Not smooth

Aww shucks, I depend on ADW EX for my heavy usage of scrolling widgets, I guess I gotta wait for jb to fix it.

Oh god ADW EX is totally broken on the Note.

I seem to be following a path similar to many on this forum: Dell Streak, SGS2, Galaxy Note.
I've also noticed that ADW EX is laggy compared to SGS2.
Its interesting that SPB Shell 3D runs virtually the same on the Note and the SGS2. I think its probably because Shell 3D has a better graphics engine than ADW EX and can handle the higher resolution better. Now that I'm used to it I actually like SPB Shell 3D a little better. The folders are much better and allow you to see what's in them. The widgets are also much slicker and nice. Plus, I don't have to go to 3rd party widgets for contacts, bookmarks and calendar and I can use all the Samsung widgets too.

SPB shell can't use scrolling widgets. I love my scrolling widgets too much to give up that functionality. Anyone else got a better option with support for scrolling widgets?

You using ADW EX too? Everything looks wrong on mine, it's running in tablet mode and despite uninstalling it and wiping it, I still can't get it to look right. Trying out Go Launcher EX now. It's a little laggy, but I guess I can live with it for now.

using a launcher pro solve my prob.

ADW Ex has an issue with cutoff bottom with mine

Go Launcher is probably the best you can get with nearly 10+ widgets or so.
A must free have!

On line the last version (16 november), (good for Note) of GoLauncher ex, on market!

That the update for Go Launcher EX on the 16th, fixed the scaling issues for the Note. Looks very good, but still the lag remains.

I just install the latest version and it seems that some strange bugs remain, like option menu wrongly resized... but my main problem is that i'm not able to resize menu icons... it is possible for desktop but not for menu icons... and they are very very small... can we do anything about that? did I miss some trick?

I'd really love to switch to Go Launcher, but even under the new version the lagging is still too noticeable. Plus I'm actually getting quite attached to Samsung's calendar widget, which only seems to work under TouchWiz.
Apparently there's another update to Go Launcher coming out next week - hopefully they'll get the lag sorted out as I can't see any reason why the performance on the Note shouldn't be absolutely stunning......

there is something quite odd about go launcher
When i installed it on my S2 the first time, it lagged like hell during transition. After switching over to the LP and finding out that it didn't support gmail unread email count, i switched back to go launcher. Same setup as previous installation but 0 lag

I'm working on a new version that bring new clock styles, new bubbles style and a strong code optimization in the drawer. There is a bug that cause the launcher to crash on drawer on some devices and I'm trying to understand why this happens. If you'd like to try the new version you can download and install this package. Let me know if any error occurs.

What device are you using?

I really do like this launcher. I purchased the pro edition. My two complaints-
1. Can't resize widgets
2. I'd like to be able to add sections/pages/categories. For example, I'd really like to have a favorites category.

1. I hope to manage to add this feature asap;
2. It's not so easy. If the original set of categories change, the auto-catalogation will stop working. I'm searching for a solution...

my words are. just keep the launcher simple and lagg free.. dont bloat it too much. just keep the basic functions... testing it right now.. =)

I'm using an LG optimus one, it seems the only way to fix the problem to uninstall and install the launcher again.

Are you still developing this app? I just found it last night and love it. I have one problem... Running sense based ROM and when I try to use this launcher it removes my gallery from my camera app. Any idea how to fix it?

This is a cool launcher. A couple of things I would suggest is to remember where you were in the drawer when you open it instead of always starting with the phone. Another thing is when you you launch an app from the home screen it doesnt go to where you left the app it goes to the start page.

Just a message to thank you for this really nice launcher. Il love it !!!

Just started using this launcher from Trebuchet, fast and simple.....loving it!!! Keep up the excellent work and keep it simple!

This launcher is really awesome, I don't know if it is caching or just optimization, but opening it after almost every app ( 512 mb RAM aren't so much if you use CM and lastest GApps... ) and finding it already ready is fantastic!
The only thing I'd like is a category-free old-fashion drawer. I really like the JB default one, with horizontal paginating and effects, and having it would be the best for me. I find really difficult to use categories, I like to swype between pages of apps and find them all. With even this choosable, my Home would be perfect and fast!

I am really liking the appearance and function of this launcher as well. I can not figure out how to add an XDA APP shortcut on the screen though. It just allows me to select the XDA APP from within the launcher but that one does not have my preferred forum start page saved, if you know what I mean. I have a galaxy S3 from verizon so that is the forum I would like to go to when I select the XDA APP. However, becuase it links from the App drawer and not a shortcut, I have to manually search for the verizon galaxy S3 everytime.
Am I missing something?

This is my favorite launcher. Im using pro and I love it.
*Gingerbread clock style is not enough in turkish language. Some of day names is not looking correct.

Great Launch
Just want to congratulate you for this app. It's really AWESOME. KISS rule at state of art.

iconback, iconupon support ?

Hi GinLemon
I am currently developing themes with multi launcher support. I was wondering if smart launcher supports or could support the feature of iconback, iconupon and iconmask. This would mean that icons we don't or haven't themed would still have a resemblance to the rest of the icons making the launcher/theme much more uniform.
I am testing this launcher on my no name $60 tablet this was bought as a worst case scenario device and it is working very well, I think I might keep it on here. Below are the specs of the device if it helps.

MiLauncher for Tablets​
I'm proud to announce the overhaul of the MIUI Launcher for Tablets.
It's been a very long time since I've updated the project, as when I left it, (due to not owning a tablet any more) I believed that it was working as I had intended on Tablets, sadly, as of Android 4.3 that was no longer the case.
With the release of Android 4.4 I obtained another tablet and decided to update the project. This is the result of my work, my research and the help of a few others, who will be mentioned below.
Please, provide feedback, hit thanks, and most importantly, enjoy it. Please understand that this is currently in beta, the bugs that it currently contains are all small graphical quality of life ones, and I'll be getting right on those.
As someone who is studying full time, please understand that I don't have a lot of free time, but I'll do my best to update this regularly and respond to any concerns or issues you may have.
I do not give permission for my work to be redistributed, direct linked or posted anywhere else other then XDA-developers.com or en.miui.com forums. Anyone who shares this must post a link to this thread and give credit.
Landscape Mode Only - Persistent for the moment.
Grid Sizing Options;
-6x6
-7x5
-8x5
-8x6
Pretty MIUI Icons
Various Transition Effects
Hide apps from your home screen and make their access pin protected!
MIUI Widgets
MIUI Theme Market
Android 2.3-4.4 support
Code:
Beta 1:
31st March 2014
Initial re-release
Based off MiHome 2.22.0
Resolved an issue where the launcher would not open on Android 4.3 and 4.4 devices
Not really a ton to say as of yet
They're probably a little giant, brace yourself.
​

Bug or Graphical Issue / Work around
Beta 1:
The MIUI weather clock 4x2, Clock 2x1 and Clock 2x2 do not appear graphically correct on the HP Touchpad.
> Pending further feedback from other devices. Stock and non MIUI widgets work.
In the Launcher Settings -> Launcher: There is text that does not appear in english.
>This is the Hide Apps With a Pin Function.
Static Wallpapers seem blurred when using this launcher on the HP Touchpad.
> Pending further feedback from other devices, not sure if this is device specific or not, Live Wallpapers Seem to Work Fine.
There is text that does not appear in english in the themes market
Obviously as the market stuff is server side, I can't change that, however there may be a few local images > Pending further investigation.
MIUI Express Locker is terribly scaled, low res and buggy
> Disable Express Locker, which is stated in the install instructions anyway.
This is something I'm still looking into and I'm not sure if I can fix it, generally it's about as buggy and slow as most lock screen replacements anyway,
not sure if they've improved that from the last time I used MiHome on a phone > Pending further investigation.
If you have an issue be it graphical or performance based, the first step is to make sure it isn't a bug from your rom,
if you've excluded that possibility post in this thread, for me to be able to do anything with it, you must include;
Code:
Your Device Name
Your Android Version
Your Current Rom
Your Device DPI
Version of this Launcher
The problem.
If you haven't followed the install instructions below, don't expect me to do anything to resolve your issue until you do.
Part 1:
Download and Install MiHome-Step1.apk
Once the launcher loads, slide up from above the nav bar and hit "Launcher Settings."
Scroll down the options until you find "Cell Layout Type"
Hit it and select the option that suits your device best
Please choose wisely because you'll need to re-install the app to change this.
Part 2
Download and Install ZSC.mihome.BX.apk, (X being the latest version number)
You will be prompted to update MiHome, obviously confirm it.
Once MiHome loads, you may or may not notice a rather mangled looking clock widget.
I am aware of this and for the moment, delete it.
Head into launcher settings, if you don't have a physical menu button look in the next section.
Hit the "Lockscreen" option, uncheck "Use MiHome Locker",
this is the lockscreen replacement Xiaomi includes with the launcher.
It doesn't play well with larger screens or landscape as of the moment
Optional But Very Recommended
If you do not have a physical menu key,
long press an empty part of the screen and hit the "Toolbox" icon.
Select the "Launcher Settings" icon on the far right.
You'll see the icon is on your home screen, open the settings.
Hit the "Launcher" option, look down at the last option "Choose Swipe Up Gesture Function"
Hit it and select the last option "Swipe up to open Menu."
Now you can view all your options by sliding up from above the nav bar again!
If your transitions seem slow, or strange when changing home pages,
Head into "Launcher Settings", Hit Launcher
Hit "Screen Transition Effects" and select something other than "Classic",
This is optional, but Classic looks silly and makes the launcher seem less fluid.
It may also appear strangely on some devices.
Beta 1:
YOU MUST INSTALL STEP 1 THEN INSTALL STEP 2
Step 1 - Refer to the Instructions
Step 2 - Refer to the Instructions
Code:
I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device, but I highly doubt anything will.

Why I should disable MIUI Lockscreen ? Can I apply theme ?

The lock screen causes graphical issues on larger screens, so feel free to enable it if you'd like, it also looks kind of weird when it's upscaled. Themes can be applied but so far it only affects icons, wallpapers and home screen related stuff. Hopefully, ill be able to fix the lock screen but for now, I recommend you disable it.
Lock screen:

Looks nice. Will try it soon, thanks!

Only work in landscape mode?
The launcher is very beautifull

what do you mean ? the standart grid size from mihome? or like me (note 2) from stock touchwiz launcher?
edit: it would be so nice if you can make a version for note 2...because the 4x5 grid from stock mihome is bad for the big screen

6x5 will do just fine. 5x4 will be exactly like iPad, plus the dock on both sizes. Anything more than 6x5 will be too cluttered for a small screen, like mine 7".
Thanks!

Nice to see this on my tab.
On very little bug: frame off photo widget is not showing complete.

do you release note 2 version today?

Later this afternoon Also, the way MiHome was developed to be only portrait, I'm not sure if i can add auto rotation at this point. If needed download "rotation locker in the play store
Unfortunatly due to storms in my area I'm unable to upload as I only have internet tethered from my phone, not two version up tomorrow.

Whats going on here ?! Something new about note 2 version??!!!

we are waiting

it works perfectly on my tablet... thanks....

sorry, but note 2 version is still waiting i pinned your thread so say if you dont have it

Nova vs stock

On the s8, wanted to get opinions of people whom tried the stock launcher for some time, then moved to NOVA launcher,
Do YOU see a difference in lag experience between the two launchers on the s8 ?
(Not worried about customization differences)

I started with nova prime but slowly over time have gone to TW, it's not near as bad as it used to be. Didn't notice much lag on either launcher but I've disabled quite a few services.

Nova launcher is much smoother everywhere but I back to TouchWiz. Love the new TouchWiz.
Sorry Nova you not my preferable for this moment.

I have been using the Nova Prime since its release.
I always install it on any smartphone first of all. However, this time I gave a small chance to the new Samsung UI and was a few days with it.
No way, the Nova is way better/smoother.
Futhermore, the Nova launcher equalizes
the performance of any smartphone. For instance, my previous Note 3 and 4 got the same smoothness with the Nova as compared to the S8+.

Nova for me; much more flexibility and control of my home screen. widget placement is very limited with TW, not so with Nova. and now Nova allows you to swipe left and show Google Now. my (simple/clean) work layout is below . the only drawback using Nova vs TW is limited (if any) use of TW widgets.

On Your homescreen screenshot,
- Which weather widget is that on the top right corner?
- Is the Google Icon on Top left a part of the Wallpaper, or is it a Widget?
- Which Clock, and Agenda widget is it on the bottom left?
I Really like the way you have organized your homescreen. Neat and Clean, and quite informative as well.

weather graphic and temp is widget from Today Weather app. location and current condition is a custom Zooper Widget.

this is also a custom, but simple Zooper widget; it's comprised of a bitmap that when pressed, launches Google Now

clock is a single Zooper widget using the Samsung Clock font. the agenda is also a Zooper widget that includes the next alarm, and my next appointment. it uses predefined xml code included in the app.

thanks for the compliment. this is basically all i need to see when i'm working. as an FYI, the navbar buttons are from a substratum theme and @Tigerhoods 35pt high navbar overlay. also, my Nova desktop grid is 16x11; this allows for precise placement of widgets so i can get the widget layout exactly like i want it.

Going into developer options and cutting the animation speed helps a ton without sieging up the interface

nova is way better than stock!

Nova FTW

Nova for me! Every time I get a new phone I right away root and remove/uninstall stock launcher and have Nova as my main. I LOVE the fact that I can double tap the home screen to lock the screen (less pressing the button - less wear on button). On top of that it's just an over all smooth and fast experience with Nova

Thanks for the comments, and im aware of all the advantages nova has, But intrested in overall lag experience between the two launchers on the s8

Stock is gorgeous. Who says otherwise is just plain idiot who haven't tried all the options.

seriously shortsided view, lol. what are you drinking/smoking tonite?

I want to use nova, but it's still have to much battery drain compared to touch wiz. ever since nova 5.0 it has had problem with battery drain, had that issue on my HTC 10 also. such shame, cus there are much better customazion on nova

I tried stock, nova and pixel launchers. It's very clear that stock is the winner.
I also asked my iPhone friend what he thinks is the best one not knowing which is which and not knowing anything about them, and he chose stock as well.
Edit: spelling

I tried TouchWiz but it doesn't allow me to resize my widget. And I don't believe I can achieve this setup with TouchWiz.

You need Nova beta and you need to download the Google Now add-on for Nova from the web.

I have Nova beta. I'll look for Google now add on

Question Is there anyway to fit more app icons on the home screen the default

Hello, I have a Galaxy S10+ and I am setting up my new Pixel 7 Pro, but I have a problem, I have set the font size and display size to the smallest and set the screen resolution to the highest but I am still not able to have 5 icons side by side as used to on my Galaxy S10+, can you fix that on the Pixel 7 Pro or is that not a possibility.

Hold an empty spot on the desktop, then go to wallpaper & style, set the grid size to what you want on the bottom of the menu.

Ahh ok, had totally forgot that was the cause, lol such an easy task.

Or alternatively avoid Google's launcher and go for something infinitely more customizable and superior. I'd advise Nova Launcher.

Or group them and with one extra touch you can quadruple the number available.

Plus one for Nova Launcher.

+2012-ish, because that (or longer?) is how long I've sworn by Nova Launcher Prime.

I seem compelling as the stock launcher with the search bar in the buttom and the at glance in the top sucks ass.
Do you miss anything by installing the nova launcher or do you just get extra stuff and another launcher, like is there any reason to stick with the default launcher other then keeping it stock.

I like to use the default apps, including the launcher, when they allow me to do what I want/need. But when it comes to the Google/Pixel launcher I feel that Google is acting like Apple in NOT ALLOWING me to remove the STUPID search bar! I have never needed or used a search on a cell phone! So I do not want it taking up my screen real estate! So then, it's back to Nova Prime!

Ues I am thinking the same also for the "At a Glance" stupid thing, google, please allow me to remove these things.

~86 apps, 12 folders, 8 widgets - made to look like 15 app icons and 4 obvious folders (and 8 widgets). I might've lost count of the apps and skipped a few. In Nova Launcher Prime, with some "folders" set to behave like apps unless I swipe up or down on their icons. Some icons I have different swipe up and swipe down actions to launch other frequently used apps that I don't really need an icon for.

Yep, Nova Launcher. Prime version worth the payment.

how do you do it in the nova launcher.

Have you tried it? It's in the Novsla settings, home screen, desktop grid. Basic operation.
