I was just wondering if it was possible to make the 3D app drawer for the Gingerbread launcher work correctly for MDPI devices because I really like it as I have seen it on a friends G2. If anybody could make this work with the stock Gingerbread launcher I would be eternally greatful. Edit: (BTW I am on CM7 latest nightly)
Update: This is what it looks like from the stock:

why would you want to use a gingerbread launcher if you are running a gingerbread based rom?? (cm7)

You can use Launcherpro or adw ex and dress them up like Launcher2 and then you get the 3D effect. Or you can google launcher2(android's actual launcher as seen on vanilla) and install that. Make sure the L2 is gingerbread and not the froyo version.

Well I find ADW to be a terrible launcher so I use a modified stock from Market.

Yeah could you send me the link to it because I can't seem to find it in the SDK and how would I go about pushing it in ADB?

You sir, are an idiot. ADW has more configurable options than any other available launcher. If you are speaking only about the animations, then yes, the free version sucks, but the only $2 ADW Ex launcher fixes all the laggy animations, and adds 8 more screen effects for transitions. Easily the best launcher out there.
You must be high. It's okay, I won't judge.

If you just use the vanilla launcher, you won't have 3D. The vanilla launcher is almost the same as the ones on the market. They are 2D for mdpi, and 3D for hdpi. Google never released drawables for the 3D launcher for mdpi.
You sir are flaming, and clearly I know EX has more customizations as I bought it and have used it all through my CM6 days I just like the stock launcher jeez.

Launcher Pro works well enough.
I mean, I haven't used the stock one, but I would think you could get it to be very similar.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they still show that style on the app drawer or if placed on the homescrens?
I like a lot of things with the MIUI interface, but the thing that drives me away is the iphone-esque menu when you hit the menu button. I love the phone/dialer though.
MIUI should be enjoyed as a whole product, not in bits and pieces. But I'm sure someone could do it for you.

Laucher Pro will let you replace the icons with whatever ones you want when you put it on the desktop - there are plenty of apps out there that will allow you to change the look of the homescreens - but if it really is the menu system you don't like then hopefully someone can try and port the lockscreen for you
(FYI - here's my Incredible running MIUI and Launcher Pro)

i was thinking of making this exact thread. it would be great to get that lockscreen but I was reading somewhere that it is non-trivial to port it to CM6

Non-trivial? So you're saying it's important to port it to CM6?
If that's the case, it could be ported to MIUI as well, since they are both AOSP roms.
Unless of course you mean trivial, which makes more sense...

Non-trivial in this sense means not easy.From what I have read,the lockscreen is pretty tied in to the Rom.

Yeah, this would be incredible if this was possible. I enjoy MIUI, but it has its pro's and con's. I really LOVE the lock screen, but on the other hand I really am not a fan of all the white/light grey system menus. With the number of people that are obsessed with theming their Android devices I'm surprised there isn't any option to change all those menus to a darker scheme.

I'm trying to understand why no one has hacked the htc weather widget to work outside of the sense UI. Is this just not possible? All I want is the stock widget with adw launcher. I use beautiful widgets and Fancy Widget, and I don't like either as much as the sense version. Can someone enlighten me on this matter? Thanks.
Beautiful Widgets has a Sense-like clock:

Just not possible. It's tied too deeply into Rosie, the launcher for Sense, which is in turn, tied too deeply into the Sense framework. There's no way to port it, at least not without *HUGE* issues, if it works at all. Sorry
I found an old version of FancyWidget that looks exactly like the Sense weather/clock.
I use weather toggle, its fantastic

those are part of beautiful widgets as well (separate download that will fire off once you select weather animations)

I might give that a shot. Although, I wanted the animations that sense provides, by far the best IMO.

I'm currently using beautiful widgets and the animations seem to cause a pretty hefty battery drain. It might be other things though which I should probably look into.
Thanks to everyone's responses. I can't believe no one can rip this widget out of sense, but if it can't be done, it can't be done

hi to all,
there is a lots of launcher on android market. I just want the best visual looking Launcher ?? anyone can help !!
As far as i know .. Go launcher is the best looking ??
Depends on what you define a visually the best. Go is more polished than ADW or Launcher Pro. But the last 2 can be customized more with themes, although Go is catching up really fast. Then you have SPB Shell 3D, which I think is the best looking, but personally I like the Go experience more all together.

Go is great for themes and such, different ones released all the time and often free. ADW and vtlauncher share a base but go completely different directions. ADW is closer to go and vtl is really good if your a landscape lover. More functions than looks though.
DxTop is one I thought looked slick (enough so I remember the name and have been considering jumping to it. Oh and zeam launcher. There was one I found and I swear it was CClauncher but its gone from market or, and more likely, I have the name wrong. I have GO as fallback but the only way you'll find what appeals to you is through trial and error imo
There is endless choice and all appeal to different folk for different reasons.

ATOM Launcher. Amazing.
Greetings,
I have a sgs plus and will get an sgs3 in a few weeks, and a friend of mine got a galaxy nexus few weeks ago, I just LOVE the blue/dark theme of the first ics 4.0 skin (the one on the Nexus), unfortunately I think that the theme on sgs3 is a step backwards and I would as soon as i would get it try to change the ICS (entire rom) or the theme (if possible) to the one from the Nexus.
So here's my question:
Is there an option (integrated in the phone) where i can switch the themes of the stock ics ?
Or do I have to install third party software ? (I will root it anyways I think)
Or do I have to flash a new ROM via Odin ?
What options do I have and, IS there even a way to get the cool theme from ICS 4.0 or even the entire rom for sgs 3 ?
PLEASE tell me that it is possible.
Sincerely. Gramrock.
I love the theme too. It's possible to get it with the GO Launcher EX. I think the ICS GO Launcher EX theme by Pantrif13 ist the best. Sorry for my bad english!

Yeah, I love the Nexus blue/dark grey theme. imo it just looks more pro. I am using apex launcher atm with go sms and go contacts with an ICS nexus style theme. I really hope someone makes a theme for the S3 to change all the menus (settings etc) to the grey/blue, also change the drop-down notification to blue icons with a see-through alpha background. That would be awesome.

How did you change the status bar? Is it a new ROM or just themed?
Guys i dont have S3 yet!! I"ll have it in a few weeks, you can try nova launcher, its the best launcher for ICS you will have the theme as G Nexus. you will have the samsung stock statusbar. Look at the video here and if you like it its a real deal then!!

No updates on the theme yet ? @Doc ?
Hey guys,
Since CM10/CM9 are still plagued with bugs, the need to stick with a stock Touchwiz ROM persists. However, coming from a Galaxy Nexus, I very much miss the stock AOSP interface.
I know there are plenty of themes available such as THIS ONE & THIS ONE but I still haven't found one that gets the entire UI to replicate the look of AOSP exactly with the proper homescreen icons, apps, notification icons, battery, clock, ICS camera interface, AOSP Messaging interface etc.
Here is what I have so far...
ROM - FreeGS3 R5
Apex Launcher with ICS theme
ICS Blue Mod v3 (changes status bar to be more AOSP like)
Camera ICS
exDialer (with excontacts for AOSP phone interface look/feel)
ICS Keyboard
Even with these mods the look is still a bit off as many apps are still Touchwiz themed when opened and the toggle buttons in the drop down menu are still colored in HD. And I haven't found a fully functioning lockscreen replacement that provides the exact look/feel of AOSP Jellybean without adding lag and/or glitches.
I'm open to any suggestions. If I have to wait for a fully stable CM10 release to achieve all this then so be it, but since that might be a while off I figured I'd give this a shot.
Thanks!
I think Intruige Rom does a good job of this on its own. I came from a Galaxy Nexus and was able to replicate most of the same look and feel with this rom along with apex launcher.

Jellybomb Domination by Josh Beach, puts full JB stuff on touchwiz roms.
Widget Locker is supposed to be one of the best lockscreen replacements. I have never tried it personally.
