How do I change the bottom?

I've noticed screen shots where the bottom portion no longer contains the ( /\ Phone + ) at the bottom. Just wondering how I can do that. Yes I am a noob. Just recently rooted my phone and added the Azrael Rom.

Get a new launcher, like Launcher Pro or ADW.Launcher. It will replace the Sense launcher. I think that's what you're looking for.

Awesome

Will I need to do anything special with it like the Rom?

I recommend launcher pro. you can find it in the market I believe, and you would just install it from the market. To activate the launcher if it doesn't start on it's own after install, is go to menu>settings>applications>manage applications>click on the 'all'tab. Find htc sense. Clear defaults (not data). Press the Home button, it will ask you to use launcher pro or sense. check the box and select launcher pro.

If you're rooted, there are also ways to change this with the stock launcher as well. Look for "Rosie" mods in the themes/mods forum. Rosie is what HTC calls the sense launcher.
Nothing at all wrong with Launcher Pro or ADW either though. I used LPP for awhile and really liked it, but went back to Sense because myn has it themed so nicely (transparent app drawer looks great, and LP can't do that yet) and it runs so smooth.

I swtich back and forth between Myn's regular sense theme and his themed launcher pro at least 3 times a day, haha. I can't make up my mind. They both have things I like, too bad they can't be combined. Have the scrolling dock on sense, and rotation of the home screen, I'd be thrilled.

[Q] Best Launcher for CM7???

hey people,
i was just wondering... i like my cm7 rom, but i do get bored quickly of the desktop and the same old routes to things.. i always like to change around when i like.
any ideas? screenshots or links will help
thanks a bunch for any help!!!

I use launcherpro, which I paid for a long time ago. I wish touchwiz wasn't exclusive to samsung, because I really starting liking it on my vibrant before I got my G2.
I do NOT like zeam or adwlauncher that comes with CM7. I end up installing lancherpro and use titanium backup to uninstall adwlauncher.
One good thing with LauncherPro does that any other launcher doesn't is the unread gmail count on the home screen.
So, if I had my pick, I would pick TouchWiz, but since I can't use it for my G2, then I'm stuck with my second choice 'LauncherPro'

Using LauncherPro now but looking into that Launcher 7, looks interesting, highly customizable.

LauncherPro

cheers for all your replies i will thank you all !!
okay well im gonna do a nandroid backup, install launcher pro and use titanium to uninstall adw... you gotta love titanium backup!!!
then if i dont like it i can always revert back using clock work mod!
i may also try that launcher 7, but ill hang fire and read some reviews
cheers everyone!!

Touchwiz launcher has been ripped from galaxy s phones and works very good on my g2. I really didn't like it much though, so I use adw ex or gingerbread launcher2.apk from nexus s roms. Those 2 are super smooth.
Adw that comes with CM is slower than the others, but if you download adw notifier (free on market), you can get the unread popup on the icon. LP is cool, but I find ex and gingerbread launchers more.

How about the Stock Gingerbread Launcher from the Nexus Phones?

cheers guys ive thanked you all, i have gone with the launcher pro, but im gonna do a nandroid backup and try all of them
thanks!!

defiantly try the stock luncher if you are any type of purist. yea it removers theme chooser but just open the cm7 zip file and you can extract the apk files out if you want them. i really dont care. the only thing i miss from adw is the swipe anywhere on the screen options. and the hide status bar. but i think that launcher is the best so its a small price to pay. i also miss custom icons. but once again. speed and stability is more important to me.

I paid for LauncherPro a while ago, but GO Launcher is slowly starting to win me over.

For me, ADW EX is the way to go, hands down. It's worth the $3.

I personally do not like all of the things that come with EX, I have a themed version of the Gingerbread Launcher. It's themed for the guy's theme who is above me =p

When im on cm7 I use ADW with the DroidX theme. Looks great!

Id say ADWex.. but if your lookin for somethin completely different.. then launcher7.. its smooth, nice, and customer tiles are easy to make. its been what I've been stuck on lately..
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I personally love GO Launcher. It is sort of a cross between ADW EX and Launcher Pro, with some new and different things as well. It's also extremely stable, which is something I can't say about Launcher Pro (at least that was the case last year when I used it heavily).

Try android seven pro if u are into windows... some may not like the thought of windows on a linux device but its good for something different. I bounce between adw ex launcher7 and android seven because I get bored easily

Best launcher for SGS2

Hi
What is the best launcher for SGS2?
1- GO Launcher EX
2- ADWLauncher EX
3- LauncherPro
4- Zeam Launcher
5- MXHome Launcher

My vote goes to Launcher Pro because I've been using it for a long time and I've grown accustomed to it. For a while I used Go and I liked it a lot but eventually I got back to LP.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

I'm using GO launcher at the moment and really like it so far.
I've used LauncherPro with Litening 1.5, but ik kept freezing and force-closing on boot...

What's wrong with touchwiz?
I'm using touchwiz 4.5 and I'm very happy with it.

GoLauncher rulez._
On my previous phone (SGS) I used for almost 6 months straight LauncherPro and I was fine!
When I bought SGS II (2 months ago) I installed GoLauncher EX and I was stunned!!!
Of course I have also tried 99% of the launchers out there, so far.
None is as complete, smooth, revolutionary etc, as GoLauncher EX! Serious work is being made.
So my vote goes to extraordinairy GoLauncher EX.

Have you ever tried another 3rd party launcher dude???

Launcher pro gets my vote, used it on my hero and incredible, although that being said, the only other launcher i've tried is ADW and really didnt like it.
Can't say about the other launchers on the poll

I hate launchers with docks that have small icons. I like to use my phones with one hand and it's so hard to hit those small dock icons correctly everytime. ADW launcher is very flexible in this regard. You can even remove the dock altogether and put normal icons there and then make them %125 size, which is what I do.
What I really want though, is Windows Phone 7 like sliding launcher. I want just one single homepage with icons and widgets that slides up and down, but I want to be able to put more that 2 icons side by side, so WP7 clones don't work for me. Until someone comes up with something like that, it's ADW for me.

I think adb shell 3d is the best i have it and works perfect!!!!!

I tried all the popular launchers available, and for me touchwiz is the best. And I see lots of people who prefers using TouchWiz.

I use vtlauncher.. a adw version for tablets were u ..can choose were to place the menu bar.. i have two.. the main with telefon msg camera and browser at the bottom.. and a secondary at the left with the spanish tv channels of zatto

i´m using ZEAM Launcher... it is small, clean and very fast....

I have used LauncherPro Plus on my 5 other devices (milestone, sgs, desire z, o2x and the sensation) and was planning to do that on the sgs2 but once I got it, I found myself liking touchwiz so I've kept on using it.

Here.
I don't know TouchWiz is the best or not but definitely far better than the launchers mentioned here. I've tried Go, Launcher Pro and ADW, I didn't like any of them, had a feeling that they all are unfinished. Couldn't even set a wallpaper without Hazy background! But of them, ADW was the simplest and nicest, but still I am talking about choosing something from a worst list
All are my opinion only, don't take it personally as I didn't mean it that way.
Regards.

I've been using Slidescreen 2 beta.

Confirm.... TW4. 5 is very awsome and very fast
I love also Zeam launcher,simply,useful and light

About myself, Go launcher ex is the best, i feel with free with this launcher, beautiful, faster and flexible

TouchWiz
Hi There,
I've tested every single launcher and my choice is definitely touchwiz

I use Go launcher atm.. Tried ADW awhile.. But folder functions wasent wery pleasing for it. I know how to create folders but I get bugged out because the app stays in main app folder too..

ADW replacement for CM7?

Well, I have to admit it that I dont like ADW launcher in CM7. I prefer much more simpler such like Gingerbread launcher. I found one but it kept FC on me. Do you know where to find one that is working properly?

I can't say I I have a gingerbread launcher apk, but "zeam" is a simple launcher in comparison to adw at least it has been to me in the past

I'm currently using zeam, its excellent. Doesn't have the features of the others but its very fast and very stable. I haven't had it fc on me in 6 months.
From what I understand launcher pro has become rather bloated? What do you guys think?

I had Zeam on my phone for a looooong time. Gave up on it after a couple of bad updates that introduced lag and switched to LauncherPro. Despite having larger footprint, IMHO LP is pretty lag free and has the features that I want (scrolling widgets) as well as a way of saving the dock settings. Zeam kept crashing on my Epic, and there was no easy way to restore the icon spacing etc. settings. Granted, I never ran it on CM7 Epic, but still have Zeam as my choice launcher on my CM7 Nook Color. I also have ADW EX (the premium version of ADW) and feel that its interface is not very intuitive/somewhat clunky vs. both Zeam and Launcher Pro - but it is the most full-featured and customisable one of the three. Never tried Go Launcher but heard some very good things about it.

And another +1 for Go Launcher, although it seems like it's a bit too full-featured to be considered a "simple" replacement. I don't have any issues with the options, but I could see it being somewhat confusing for anyone wanting just a plain home replacement.

Try go browser. Its what I always use.

I like go launcher but I remember reading something from konane (I believe) and he said that within golauncher there was a similar service to carrier iq and that it sends reports (or something) to the developer with info about our phone. That is why most people inlcuding myself expirience poorer battery life with go launcher. Other than that I think Go launcher is the way to go!

Whats your favorite launcher to replace TouchWiz?

I wanted to give TouchWiz a chance but I could only deal with it for about an hour. At first I replaced it with Holo Launcher since thats what I used on my SGS Vibrant but it was a bit buggy on the SGS3. I then installed Nova Launcher and its been pretty good.

You're kidding right ?

Hmm just for fun this should have been a poll hehe.
Apex pro for me so far is the best. It's fast, minimal, but feature packed. I used a bunch of other ones but they either too bloated, development is dead, or I noticed my battery starting to suffer. Apex pro is owning hard.

Does using an alternate launcher actually avoid loading touch wiz in the background? Asking because i see TW uses about 70 mb of ram and i don't really want two launchers taking up memory in the background.
Sent from my SGH-T999

Go Launcher Ex all the way, just as fast as Nova or Apex but with more features. I have tried all 3 and I noticed Nova is a bit smoother than Go Launcher but I dont think its worth it to give up the customization that Goi Launcher offers

Nova Prime!

Apex pro without a doubt

Gotta agree with some of the others. Nova.

Apex pro here
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Tried them all, Go Launcher Ex is the best one I have used, they also have a lot of other apps, like Go SMS, Go Calender widget, that are integrated very nicely.
Give them a try and go with what suits your needs best, I did and I always went back to Go Launcher Ex.
They all copy from each other, Apex, Go, and ADW seem to have the same level of customization options, plus or minus one or two here and there.

Apex pro ftw. My girlfriend uses Nova and they are pretty much the same.
