Does anyone know of an app that can turn the homescreen landscape with the keyboard closed?

Some launchers will do it for you if you enable auto rotation and configure the settings in the launcher to pick it up
With launcherpro for example

Or ADW launcher. Zeam as well
I use launcherpro and its works fine. Its also a feature available in cyanogenmod roms

Adw and LauncherPro eat my battery. Was hoping there was something else with less going on behind the scenes that didn't drain the battery.
On stock launcher I can go about 15 hours on a charge. When I load launcherPro I get about 5 hours if I'm lucky.

Something seems fishy here...I've never seen any type of significant battery life change based on my launcher. Live wallpaper maybe, but not the launcher itself.
Either way I was just wanting something that wud make my homescreen go landscape with out all the other stuff launcher comes with.

Try launcher42 or something like that in the market, from Steve kondik.
I use ADW and it works just fine in landscape

So I recently started using ADW EX and I really like it. I was using LPP but I didn't uninstall it because I didn't want to lose the pro version. My question is having both launchers killing my battery/slowing down my phone ? My LPP has no icons or widgets on it.

As far as I know, only one launcher should remain in memory at one time. I've had multiple home launchers on my G2, and when I'm not using one of them I always remove the widgets just to be safe. You should be fine leaving both on your phone.
Thank you very much.

Hi. I wonder if any of you can set the page of the app drawer vertically or horizontally? I've been searching and looking but had no clue at all.

Launcher Pro has never done this. I used to swear by Launcher Pro until I tried Go Launcher for a few days, and now I can't go back. I personally prefer a vertical app drawer, but Go Launcher does have the option of either vertical or horizontal.
Launcher Pro's HUGE lack of updates over the last 4-5 months is very off putting! I like Go Launcher, but it's still a little too buggy.
I cant find option to change home screen and app drawer to landscape mode in Go launcher.Can someone plzz guide?

Switched to go recently too. Its amazing. It used to be trash but after a month or two I decided to give it another go and its amazing now. I just hate those ugly tabs in the app drawer, I really don't care to have a task manager and app history in my app drawer.

Now I'm like using ADW Launcher LOL!
I keep reading through all the different ROM threads and hardly anyone talks about ADW? Is there something I should know, that I don't? I don't want to have to pay for a launcher, any advice is welcome.

What you mean? Cm7 ships with adw (be it a modified version). And everyone has their choice...some people switch launchers on a weekly basis

For drop dead stability I always go with go launcher (on my gf's epic) but I have paid for launcher pro plus and can't live without the built in themeable twitter, gmail, and facebook widgets butto each his own. I consider adw a laggy ram hog

Most people do not want to pay for something like a launcher when there are so many free ones like Zeam. I got ADW for my 2 phones. My girl uses it exclusively but I use it just to verify operation with new Bonsai builds before release.
I have been using Zeam since April but I have been using ADW EX a lot more lately. The themes and icons are great and I love being able to swipe to hide my status bar and dock

I use adw ex. Its fairly stable I don't have problems often..
Cd's or tapes?
I forgot what but something hides and out was a pain in the ass because somehow I got it to hide apk the time
It got to the point where I had to have a shortcut for the un hide button on my beautiful bare home screens and also I'm my opinion tw4.5 is better

I use ADW. I have it carefully configured; I LOVE it. I use the FOSS market version. If you want my configs to try I can post them.
I got ADW as the base launcher on a ROM I was using and fell in love with it. I used to be all about Launcher Pro but this works out so much better. None of the LP restarts when memory runs low and ADW runs so smoothly.
What's going on guys? Seeing as to how this phone is super fast and snappy, I thought I'd create the first "Themes and Apps" thread for the Razr M
Almost as soon as I got the phone, I downloaded and installed Go Launcher, Go sms, go calendar, go task, go note, and go switch because thats what I'm used to and those apps/widgets kick ass...
but I know that the "circles widget" is supposedly really cool and the stock launcher wasn't too bad...so I was wondering, what launchers are you guys having success/fun with? Go launcher runs super fast with all the animations and whatnot, so I can definitely imagine the other launchers probably run great too
Stock Moto Blur Jelly Bean launcher!!!

A lot of people are either running with apex or nova these days. IMO they're pretty similar except the fact that apex has gestures included for free (which is one of the main reasons people use it) while as nova does not have gestures included. IMO I thought Nova was a little snappier but that's just one guys opinion. I recently switched back to the stock launcher because I missed the circles widget. Plus I might upgrade to jellybean soon but I'm waiting because there was a couple articles online that said the official version might be released this week! Prolly not... but better to have hope than none at all lol.

I'm just addicted to themed icons, I think that's why I'm stuck on go launcher
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
Go launcher because of the themes also, but then went back to the stock because I also miss the circles widget.
I'm using Go Launcher also. Not really in love with the circle widgets, so that's no loss for me.
Personally, I'm not into themed icons at all. Or any theming for that matter. Prefer a stock (or close to) look. Using Nova Prime and the JB icon pack.

i know!! its so lame we cant use circles widget on 3rd party launchers.....itd be awesome if someone could create a hacked APK that if we sideloaded could let the widget be accessed by any app
+1 on hacked circle widget not a big fan of it personally, but good too have options
And I'm rooted on JB leak, debloated running blank all black lightning launcher with swipepad
Saves RAM saves battery works great no lock screen either
Nova Prime with JB leak. Pretty much installed that right away when I got the phone but I'm kind of curious to use the stock launcher, however I got Prime on sale and I love the gestures to add another 5 app launches from the dock.
I am using the razr m launcher in my inspire...

Hi,
I've just gone though the ROMS-CM 10 and Eclipse, but found that CM 10 has really bad speaker problems for incoming calls, which I could not, nor others users could not, work around. Although its the most interesting ROM and quite smooth, and allows for themes from Market. The Eclipse is very smooth and I think built better, but frankly boring. Neither of these allow for the Moto 3 rings, which I noticed nearly everyone in this string has missed or gone back to. Also, I'd hoped to be able to allow for the larger screen in a ROM, where the soft device tools at the bottom are eliminated (using changes in Build.Prop and the app: "Button Savior" as replacement-which is a fabulous app), and while CM 10 allows for their elimination, except for "menu" still the black area remains. Eclipse doesn't allow for this at all. Making the changes in Build.Prop works in CM 10 re: the screen but the speaker issue turned me away after awhile along with losing all notification alerts and signal strength meter.So back to stock moto and found that Nova launcher, with root, allows for, what seems, at least a %60 transparency on the bottom of the screen as well as the elimination of the top notification bar, but the alerts occur and incoming emails can be seen in the Lock screen-works well. So, I'm now back to stock w Nova, although the Moto 3 ring app cannot work on Nova.
Using Action Launcher. I love it.

Stock most of the time but occasionally Nova prime. If it weren't for the ugly Motorola icons I could probably live with the stock launcher all the time. One more clock widget free is certainly close enough to the circle widget to live with (except the text messages not showing up in it) on Nova and I enjoy the options of Nova but the stock launcher performs as good as any and is pretty close to stock android save the left most quick settings I could take or leave.

Title says it all. I'm running the latest cm10 with the trebuchet stock launcher. Wanting a launcher that supports scrollable widgets while also having the persistent Google search bar ... any ideas which one will do this? Any free? Or will I have to buy my first app?

My apologies I've never used scrolling widgets so I didn't know it did not work. As far as battery I have never noticed any extra drain by using different launchers.

Until UKB and Viper I was using CM10 and Apex Launcher was my go-to. It's got the persistent search bar as an option and also used my scrollable calendar widget with it.
EDIT: It's also free with the option to buy, which gives you more customization.

+1 on apex. I have a calendar widget that scrolls and it offers the persistent search.
I'm using the photo contacts widget and it won't work w apex. If you look on the market it says adw, go, etc ... any launcher that supports scrollable widgets. So should I assume the widget is at fault? Is there an option to enable it in apex that I'm missing?
Any of you guys have suggestions on a good contacts widget? I like the photo contacts one and have used it since day 1 but maybe its time to move on....

I haven't used it, so it's hard to say, but they don't specifically mention nova or apex. Wish I could be more helpful.
I've used nova, apex, and go, and I always seem to go back to trebuchet, I hardly ever use Widgets so its the cleanest launcher for me

Sure.
Not a big fan of the pop up menu in the new ADW. Would like to see it as optional. Also the transitions are a bit choppy even with some speed tweaks. Those were the only things I have noticed off the bat. I plan on playing with it more but will probably revert to Nova pending future ADW EX updates.
