Anyone able to get the gingerbread launcher working at all?
Its the same from what I can tell running it on emulator. Nothing new.
I wonder if google could release the launcher to the market o.o
Yeah when looking at it its launcher2 still?
Although the dock bar it does look different, more like a black square.

The gingerbread launcher is working 100% on my SGS. It's available on the market as "Gingerbread Launcher" by MoDaCo.
Although you can't customize it though. Still nice, and fast.
it is slower than the TouchWiz launcher

Great! I don't like too much the dock, but I prefer this one as it doesn't have any 3d effect

Sorry, but you must be kidding, right? I don't know if it's faster than GTG TouchWiz (I don't think so by the way), but for sure it's faster than original TW!
Yep its definitnely faster than my normal touch wiz

Not in my case, and I got 103 apps installed.
The Gingerbread Launcher only has 5 screens by default. Any way to add 2 more screens for a total of 7?

hey guys im a noob here but i have searched all over..
im looking for a nexus one froyo rom for the evo...
i want evenything to stay the way it is i just want the launcher like the nexus one and the main menu to look like the nexus one froyo.
i know launcher pro has it but i cant add htc widgets to it..
any advice would be appreciated.
CM6 (cyanogen)
o you can't have the htc widgets without sense so if thats what you're really looking for you're stuck using sense. thats the only launcher that allows those widgets

Just out of curiosity, which sense widgets can't you live without?
The thing with cyanogen is that it uses ADW launcher.. some fav it. some dislike it.. i personally dislike it, ill rather have basic 2.2 launcher like the nexus one.

Ohhh, give it a shot.. you might like it.. I like, MUCH better than the sense crap. You can use it with Cyano.
I like Zeam launcher.
It's light weight and crazy fast.

EDIT :And BTW. this should be moved in the Questions thread.

It's not about the rom, it's about wanting a home application that isn't Sense to be able to use Sense's widgets. The standard Nexus One launcher is included in even the stock rom, but you won't be able to load Sense's widgets onto it.
I have one recommendation, check out LauncherPro Plus. It comes with some of its own awesome widgets. They are honestly as good as Sense's calendar, people, bookmarks, and messages widgets. In fact, they look almost too much like a direct copy. You can scroll inside of them and even resize them. If those are the ones you want to keep, LauncherPro is what you want. In every other way, it is much like the stock launcher on Nexus One.
You will lose Friend Stream, but there are other widgets that can approximate that.
I reread your post. You asked for a Nexus One main screen and launcher. By main screen, do you mean the lockscreen? The one you have to drag your finger on to unlock your phone? If not, the home screen and list of programs are both handled by the launcher.
Here is what I would recommend:
Rom:
Cyanogen Mod 6 - It will make all of the menus and applications feel just like what you get on Nexus One.
Apps:
Fancy Widget - It looks and feels exactly like the HTC weather & clock widget that is the default on the main screen.
LauncherPro Plus - CM6 comes with ADW Launcher, which is pretty close to the vanilla Nexus One launcher, but LauncherPro Plus has its own widgets that look and function almost exactly like HTC's widgets.

I think you may want to clarify exactly what you want. As far as I understood the opening question, it was pretty well answered.
Currently CM6 is the only ROM that is not based on the HTC Sense stock ROM. It is instead based on the open source Android code, just like the Nexus One. There are a few tweaks that Cyanogen has added, like some extra settings, different boot screen, and some cosmetic tweaks. It also uses ADW launcher by default.
However you could just install the stock launcher on cyanogen mod, and other than the settings widget having blue highlights, you are pretty much at stock.
There is no way to use the HTC Sense widgets with anything besides the Sense launcher.
If all you care about is the launcher and lock screen, you can install just about any 2.2 rom, remove htclockscreen from /app/system, install the stock launcher, and you are done. In that case you would still have the HTC messaging, browser, calendar, etc.
Hey!
As some of you know the Gingerbread Launcher (available in Market) is blurry on Android 2.3.3 [JVB].
Can anybody fix that? Is there already a fix/a compatible GB Launcher?
I would like to have that slim "theme" with 3D appdrawer, not a big launcher like LP or ADW....
Thanks!
Will this wish be granted? I haven't found one yet.

I did a fix for my JVK galaxy S, the problem is the 3D library of 2.3.3. Check here for the fix. And for 3D launcher you could just use this one, I pull from Nexus S 2.3.
I am looking for some help. I like using sense, and would like to use a GB launcher.
I have found this:

2.Real Gingerbread Rosie w/5 Column app drawer, Nexus S Style: (Chingy510)
http://www.mediafire.com/?8jamsekc4bvefvp
The problem is that it doesn't look right. There is a grey box over shadowing the launcher.
My question is that maybe Chingy510 or someone else can modify it to work and look good with Calkulin's eVio 1.8.
Thanks in advance!!

you're trying to use a 5 icon dock with sense widgets right? If so I suggest using launcher pro plus and launcher pro glass sense skin both are in market but they're not free. You can also add custom launcher icons to modify your dock bar appearance. The skin is almost exactly the same as sense.
Thanks for the replies.

Ah, sorry dude. I guess I stopped reading after "...and would like to use a GB launcher."
Ok so here is a snap shot of what I got. Maybe someone can help. I know its minute, but it's ocd to me.
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.

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..
Just installed Sandvolts ICS rom 4.1.5 and i am amazed at the amount of customization that has gone into it
I am posting as when i went into the installer it was asking me which launcher i wanted
in the end i thought i would start by trying Nova
I just am asking to find out what is everyone who uses ics what is your favorite launcher and why?
I use Nova launcher. Can't complain.
I 2nd Nova! great features and cant go wrong Other than Nova i do like Apex launcher aswell

The dev hasn't updated it in over a year, it's now an abandoned project. Also GOLauncher has a lot more features and widgets. (still use Nova though )

If the app works fine, why should there be an update?
And these features you mention, I do not miss anything in LP, so who cares?
If Nova is as smooth as LP for me, I would change. But in the moment, no chance.
Apex
For me the best is apex smooth, stable

Same here, found no problems with Apex. Though, if you read the Sandroid thread there are a few having issues with the update but suspect this could be localised due to none full wipes and personalised settings...
Nova work pretty good for me. I use it with ICS by Sandvold
Another vote for Nova! ")
I find Apex is really lightweight, stable and smooth, and offers more customization than the free version of Nova.
+1 Apex Launcher, at least for now

To me LP feels way outdated in comparison to ICS. Yeah it's smoother, but I miss the search bar from ICS, the in drawer widgets, old animations, and the app drawer in ICS (or any palignated drawer) is a lot easier to navigate, using "menu" is back like it was in GB...
It feels like taking ICS, tearing a big hole in it and then patching it up with GB.
Nova Launcher! Seems to be the fastest in Sandvold's ICS Rom.
According my experience in using ICS by Sandvoid, both stock launcher and apex are smooth
may be stock is more stable
Apex, because it's smooth and stable.
