Hello,
is there a simple way to replace all the Samsung standard icons with the Vanilla (stock) Android icons?
I really don't like many of them (e.g the ugly messaging icon).
Thanks in advance
Hmm...maybe with launcherpro you can change icons for apps you put on your homescreen. You can't do that with app drawer.
The only way seems to install a aosp-clean rom (when we'll get cyanogen I think we'll be ok) OR to install the aosp version of the apps you're interested in...guess they won't all work, but some should. Music will definitely work (I used it in some rom, and the samsung icon is really horrible), also calendar and messages I think should work...of course that would change also the application itself, not just the icon...
Download ADW Launcher, and then search for "aosp adw theme" in market and install.
Folder organizer might be useful in this case.
Although haven't tried!

I do it but that way i still don't have the AOSP drawer like the second picture that you can see here
there's a setting somewhere in ADW to activate that kind of drawer?

check out this new enhanced version of ADW launcher from the same developer as Christmas present.

Coming from Go Launcher, none of this is new.
cool, faster than Go Launcher
Pretty fast, I like it! The app drawer is sooooo smooth (compared to launcherpro). but launcherpro widgets are too useful lol. I run like 4 launchers on my sgs lol.

I agree but go launcher still falls short when compared to ADW and launcherpro in terms of customization options available.
I think it's the best one

Gingerbread launcher has blown everything else out the water for me at the moment. Basic but solid and fast. I have not used my LauncherPro for ages now.
Installed this yesterday and while launcher pro is good this EX version is by far the most advanced launcher out there. For starters there is icon and label scaling, easy icon swapping for not just schortcuts but also folders. Groups in the app tray (although I haven't figured out how they work exactly.) And custom animations. Definitely worth the couple bucks and the small hassle of switching.
IMO this just raised the bar and it should force some new features in the competing launchers which is always a good thing.
only 2 swype gesture, not good for me
Isn't this launcher open source? What's stopping anyone from making a free fork?

Anyone else unable to backup ADW settings? I could the first time but it now give me a "Error backing up ADW settings" message. I can backup the desktop config just fine.
Best launcher I've tried and I've tried them all.

Is it me or can't you change the dock in adw launcher?

Hey guys and girls this will be my first android device and reading up on all the apps and widgets is a little daunting.
So this is the question : im going to be changing my dock icons because they remind me to much of my current Iphone 4, So i need a launcher?
What launcher does everyone suggest i try out and why?
I dont mind paying for a launcher just as long as its not to buggy or a memory/power hog.
Thanks in advance.
i'm going to go for LP Sense:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fr.clockwidget.lpslatesense
runs great on my Hero...just need to get a SGS2
why use a different launcher off the block.. try the new twiz 4 launcher that comes with it first for a while..
I personally like ADW EX i like the swipe animations and the overall feel of it on my EVO. I have seen it run slowly on lower power devices. The level of customizations that are available to the user is amazing. And you can get it for free in some Roms. Thats how i stumbled upon it. It has several ways to anaimate screen swipes. But if you want a true 3d effect try shell 3d. I dont know of a way to get it for free but i did try it out for a while and it was pretty cool, but it even felt kind of slow on my evo.
Ive gone with slide screen its beautiful, how about a lock screen, this drag the background thing is so poor

Try LauncherPro.. The best in my opinion
I tried launcher pro and finds its not smooth atm on this phone, it feels a bit jerky when going in to the apps window.

That's weird, it's flawlessly smooth on my Galaxy S 1. However, if you're using a live wallpaper then the transition into the app drawer (and then scrolling through it) is stuttery.
Apart from that, I'd throw my vote to LauncherPro too, especially if you buy the Plus version.
Reasons:
- Easily resize widgets and change homescreen grid sizes
- Virtual looping of homescreens (get to the end and it'll flick back to the farthest, no need to scroll all the way back)
- Homescreen transitions (instead of boring sideways scrolling can have 3D flips or the widgets rotate away)
- 'Plus' adds lots of extremely handy smooth, scrollable widgets almsot identical to what HTC Sense provides
- These widgets have now been made theme-able as of the latest update
- Can use in landscape or portrait
- Scrollable dock (scroll through 3 docks of 5 icons each)
- Dock icons and background can be changed, so my icons look like WP7's
- Can set an action for swiping up from any dock icon (eg: touching Internet icon launches the browser, but swiping the Internet icon instead displays a list of bookmarks!)
- On my Galaxy S was smoother for me than ADW

I'm going to use the wp live wallpaper so I don't need a clock, but I do like the animated weather on wake up ( reminds me of my HD2 love you forever and ever ) so that sounds like a good pick.
what about go launcher ? any thoughts?
And I've seen touch wiz in vids I like the tiled widgets but I dislike the dock icons looking like iPhone. so can I Change the dock icons to stock android without a launcher?

No I dun think so. You would need to use another launcher if the dock is definitely a no-go for you.

i actually don't use the LP Sense clock, I use FancyWidgets, like you say...far more customisable.
See screen shot:
My suggestion
What about the VTL Launcher 1.6.2 ??
It's a matter of taste really, GO Launcher, LauncherPro and ADW are all great. SPB Shell 3D is good if you like eye candy, but pretty expensive.

can you set the weather widget and have the animation, like rain but have the widget invisible?
I just want to see my wp clock wallpaper and have the weather show like the clouds and the rain and thunder but not see the widget? if you cant ill settle for picking a small widget?
Thanks again for all the replys guys they are helping a tone.
Also what launcher has more icon themes ?
Launcherpro for me. Smooth as silk, really quick and it just works...
Launcher pro is not as smooth as before with sgs2. it was better on my htc desire.
I have been using AWD EX as not being able to change the messaging for Chomp SMS on the touchwiz was driving me mad. But I am getting cronic lag on switching screens. Not all the time. Just often enough to be anoying. Reading what others have been saying, I can only assume we need to tweek the phone a bit.
Hi
I am owning a HTC WIldfire with Froyo (official update)
Recently I heard about launcher pro apk. I have seen the screen shots(googling) and I find it very cool by the looks and setups...
My questions are :
1. How much advanced is launcher pro over HTC Sence launcher ?
2. Does installing launcher pro throws away HTC Sence for the rest of my phones life ???
3. Any disadvantages of launcher pro - like sluggish,slow etc
4. How many home screens does it provide ?
... and all info on launcher pro if you guys can give me.....
1. Far more advanced. They are a lot more customizable than the Stock Sense launcher
2. No, You can always switch back, besides, you will only lose the Sense Launcher. Sense goes far beyond it's launcher, but, you WILL lose the ability to use any Sense based Widget.
3. No, actually, its the opposite. Its lightning quick. Scrolling between homescreens, scrolling the app drawer with the 3D effect - Its instantaneous. So much so that my friend with a Stock Desire said my phone feels smoother.
4. Configurable from 1,3,5,7

While using launcher pro as a home screen launcher, you will not be able to use any sense widgets like Calendar, Weather Clock, etc.
Launcher Pro PLUS (paid) comes with it`s own widgets that replicate sense look and feel (minus the weather widget, that`s another debate.)
You can go back to Sense at anytime and use the sense widgets. Nothing is lost.

There is an app called "HD Wallpapers" (by srsdev). It is available in market as a free version.
It has lots and lots of categorised cool wallpapers. But it requires mobile data connection to download the wallpapers. And once u open a wallpaper image, it will be stored as a cache data on memory card. That means u donot need to have internet connection to open the image for the 2nd time , and also for setting it as a wallpaper.
And the best thing is it even has the option to save ur cool wallpapers to sdcard. The saved path will be sdcard/Wallpapers/My Wallpapers/
[And wallpapers will not be specific for wildfire. They are just images. There will be live wallpapers also which are also not specific for wildfire. Don't mind if u know that.]
Can anybody tell wich is better in your opinion, ADW or launcherpro?
Hi All
I installed Launcher Pro... let me tell you it has thrown out all my doubts !!!
Really cool...and fast..an excellent launcher app...with gr8 looks...
but the problems are not having weather and clock widgets (My home screen looks empty without this...) Can anyone one tell what weather and clock widgets are there in market for free so that I can use in my launcher pro..
note : I tried the gtab simi clock.. but I dont know if I went wrong with its settings..when i add the clock widget to my home screen that place blacks out ! means not showing the clock even though I set the time and other stuffs...

Thats gr8 to know... I will try it out..yeah I know that live wallpaper will not work with Wildfire until you have rooted it. By the way I used the links provided by '3xeno' to get some wallpapers..those are really good looking...
Also I read in that thread that using .png files gives more stylish view of a picture than .jpeg is that true ?
Format by itself doesn't make any difference. For the Clock and Weather Widget, Google for Fancy Widget 1.3.0. It's a replica of the HTC Widget, but was removed from the market for violating HTC's copyrights, but, it can still be found on many sites. (The market has the new version of Fancy Widget, but, it obviously doesn't look like HTC's, but, the Pro version (Paid) has a skin which looks like one)

I tried to set the Sim clock again... what is width of left side in pixels.. default is 120.. but when i use it as 120 itself.. the place where it is suppose to show the time blacks out and it only displays 15 and black colur ends there... where it is supposed to show as 15|28 - which is the current time in 24 hour !
Use 50. 120 will start the display of the clock from the centre of the screen.
Regarding choosing between launcher pro and adw launcher, its actually the users choice.
There is a lot of difference in performance between htc sense and launcher pro. But there is little/no difference between launcher pro and adw launcher. And also it depends whether u have the full versions of them. I don't know much about adw full version. But launcher pro full version (called launcher pro plus or LPP) unlocks the widgets of it (u can see the widget list even from the free version). And LPP has features of scrollable and resizable widgets. That means u can have any widget to be displayed from 1x1 to 4x4. In my opinion , i choose launcher pro. The adw launcher gives me a little delay while opening the app drawer menu. But it is very necessary to rule out htc sense if u r looking for performance. And one more thing, for persons (who can root their phones) interested in increasing the performance, it is better to choose AOSP roms because JIT compiler, a performance optimizer from froyo cannot be enabled in sense roms and also certainly htc sense is absent in AOSP roms. [some of the reasons why i want rooting is --- to rule out the htc sense, enable JIT compiler, tethering options (root-only apps), overclocking, live wallpapers and of course gingerbread custom roms.]
And regarding weather and clock widget, i will make a note of 3 apps, and the lite versions of all these three are available in market presently.
---"Animated Weather" (by Mobilityflow Arts). If u r looking for a widget which looks like htc one, then this is ur option. Not 100% identical to htc, but it almost looks like htc one. I don't know about the features of the lite and full versions of this. Just noting this to tell u that this (even the lite version) looks more similar to the htc one.
---"Beautiful Widgets" (by LevelUp Studio) . A word of caution for this in the market. "THIS LITE VERSION IS AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET ONLY FOR A LIMITED PERIOD". So, hurry for this cool widget. A very nice and preferable one. It even has free version of additional "BW Animation Pack". Install the animation pack also. It shows cool 3D weather animations right after u unlock ur screen (and they will be shown everywhere, not only on the homescreen). Here in this u can have animation effects on lite version also. The lite version somewhat attempts to look like htc one, it even has download option for few skins. Sorry i don't know the features of the present full version of this.
---"Fancy Widget" (by Android Does) . This one is also good. The lite version doesn't show animations. The full version unlocks animation and other features. For making it look like htc one, go to Appearance Settings/Widget style -- and set it to flip clock (sorry this option is available in full version only). The animation effects in full version are excellent. Even there are sound effects. Same here, the animation effects are triggered right after u unlock the screen (and they will be shown everywhere, not only on the homescreen). Im using full version of this and i feel like having live wallpapers on stock froyo (specially when it rains). But the animation stops just after u touch the screen after unlock. The full version of this supports downloading skins with which u can increase the way it looks like htc (i expect the full versions of all the three support downloading skins). And merely changing the skin will not make it look like htc, that flip clock option also contributes.
NOTE: I have checked the above 3 widgets with launcher pro only. And finally what i suggest u is to make a google search. The above information might be obsolete. And U can really rediscover a lot of things on searching. So always consider to search for things.
Hi all,
How many of you here are using Apex Launcher/Pro on your HOX?
How do you find it? I like Sense but I'm thinking of fiddling with a different launcher.
Does Apex LAuncher allow Landscape Home Screens?
If I don't like it I can just uninstall it right? Also I'm guessing I don't need to be r00ted to use the launcher...
Thanks all,

How exactly does this work then? Does it take over the sense totally? IE... When I turn my phone on I am booted in to this and when I lock it etc.. etc.. or do I have to open it each time I want to use it?

You can choose a default launcher to choose from. I've just chosen Apex Launcher... I still have the standard lockring on my lockscreen...
You can reset the default launcher in Apex Launcher settings. I'm still kinda new to this myself so I'm not too sure on all the in's-and-out's.

Okay so when you turn the phone on its the standard lockscreen, you move that and it opens directly into Apex Launcher as if Sense never existed? Sounds like something fun to mess around with.
I'm guessing it can't do any damage to the phone or the standard OS etc... then?

That's correct, it's all the same... just a different launcher.
The stock launcher is all intact, Apex doesn't overwrite anything, it's just an App really.

All makes perfect sense...
and +1 to Apex Launcher. I tried them all this past week and I just liked Apex better. I am sure they all do similar things, with a couple of things different. I purchased the Pro version of Apex.
Not sure if I can make the lock screen like my Apex home screen. I am still learning (time dependant), do very much like it though. Even my iPhone work mates seem impressed
I have been using Apex since Friday. I liked it so much I ended up paying for it.
Im not sure how many more features were enabled but I thought it would be the least I could do.
Main reason for switching. Laggy Home screen swithching in sense.
I have widgets on every screen now and its flawless!
Apex Launcher Pro consumes a lot of battery on my HOX 1.28
I back to Sense 4 and prefer Nova Launcher

When playing with various launchers, your battery may drain very fast because of the widgets you have running on the screens of the inactive launcher.
If you try Apex, it's a good idea to remove all widgets from your Sense screens first.

I switch off, all the widgets from Sense4 before try Apex
And reboot the terminal.
apex user here also. loving it. it's just smooth and full of features.
That's good to know, I'll remove my widgets from my Sense 4.0 Launcher and then boot back into Apex Launcher.
I'm also running GO Locker, GO Launcher EX with the ICS GO Locker Lock ring...
Sometimes when I power the screen back on I get the Sense 4.0 lock ring, so I unlock to homescreen then the ICS GO Locker ring will appear, so I have to unlock that one too! So I'm unlocking with two rings wtf?
I use Apex too and also bought the Pro version in supprot of the devs coz I liked it so much. I'm not even sure what the advantages are for Pro version. Hehehehe...
