Just wanted to post this , It is on the market too. Very nice launcher with sideways scrollable dock and pinch to select different homescreens.
and of course very speedy.
the xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664149
I´ve been using this for awhile now and i think it much smoother and faster than LP. I really recommend this homescreen!
I just downloaded Zeam and I'm test driving it now. That and skyfire browser. Both look quite promising so far.thanks for the recommendation.
Just downloaded this and it is now my default launcher, thanks very much
I really should change my signature as I dumped the Blackberry for Android
I just found this other day, Man I've been missing out on some speed!
I've been a fan of LauncherPro for a while and brought it even though I never use any of the widgets that come with it. Sure LauncherPro is AWSOME but Zeam blows it out of the water purely based on speed. I sometimes run out of memory and LauncherPro reloads itself or has a fit (hey the developer even knows this so he's doing a complete rewrite of LauncherPro NOW) but with Zeam I have yet seen it reload itself due to lack of memory, and even if it did reload itself its hell fast!
Zeam full screen mode with LCD Density Changer set to 180 and a decent Clock wdiget makes my sgs look all so pwetty and no fear of ram issues as Zeam only uses 10megs while the Best launcher which is LauncherPro uses about 22-30megs. Sure Zeam don't have ALL the features and widgets that LauncherPro has but damn, with the extra speed and ram you can find 3rd party widgets
I give this launcher two thumbs and toes up

make zeam the default - sort of
Hi,
I also love Zeam, but would like to make it my default launcher. When I reboot my Galaxy it still comes up with twlauncher as the default interface.
Can anyone tell me how to make zeam launch rather than twlauncher?
@ninereeds did you check the box that says "use by default for this action"? if so then it will go into Zeam each time.
i think you can only do this once otherwise it goes to tw launcher. if you missed out then the simplest way would be to uninstall zeam, then reinstall, press the home button and it will ask you again what do you want to open.
hope this helps
Does this launcher have a selection for Swype up-applications ?
Im using ADW and in swype up i have enter an application which is very usefull for me...(its a screen off application and with a swype up with my finger on the screen the phone closes)

You need to download Home Switcher from the market, you can then setup Zeam as your default launcher from there, when you reboot Zeam will be the launcher plus Home switcher is Free
Definitely my new launcher! Great post! Love the bar at the bottom!

home switcher doesn't work with froyo though, incase you are using froyo.
otherwise works really good on elcair
I'd like to switch over from LauncherPro to Zeam and try it out again, but I can't make do without either the Samsung widgets or those of LP. If anyone can guide me to third party widgets for friends streams, and other widgets like in LP, I'd love to give Zeam another go...
Gave it a try. I liked it until I tried to find a way to hide certain apps from the app drawer. Looks like that's not possible, so back to LauncherPro for me.
Maybe in future it will get more features, then I'll take another look at it.
WOW miles fast than Launcher Pro. Only setting I'm missing is the hide apps in app drawer which I can live without given the speed improvement and the awesomeness of that bottom bar.
Impressive and certainly has potential but needs more customisation options to be able to compete with ADW & Launcher Pro in my opinion.
Hi,
if you would like to make Zeam as your default Launcher you have to use ClearDefaultHome (Market app and it's free). It's the same as HomeSwitcher but supports all Froyo releases.

check out this new enhanced version of ADW launcher from the same developer as Christmas present.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD5WD-HDagM&feature=player_embedded#
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?

The EX version is not open source.
another FREE fast Launcher is: Zeam Launcher
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.

Yeah that's the best one, soo much customizable and smooth. I'll miss the Launcher Pro glass dock BTW
Is it me or can't you change the dock in adw launcher?

Same issue here as well...
"Backup desktop configuration" is working without any problem. But ADW settings has got an error message only.
just use anycut to create a new activity, then find Rocker Launcher, and you are good to go.

Anycut doesn't work for me, when I go to place it on the homescreen it opens up but only renders 1/4 of the screen and the font is about size of a grain of sand.

weird... works for me..
Download this app and you can check it out for yourself

You can also install launcher pro, then when in the ics launcher widget section there is an activities launcher
Cool!
There is also a shortcut for this little rocket launcher gimmick within the "Hidden Features ICS" app ...
Have fun!
Hi,
I would like to ask you for some help in finding am alternative to the Action Memo widget used under the Touch Wiz launcher.
I'm using APEX launcher and I would like to have a simple widget that will aloud me to draw (scribble) a quick note with my S Pen, just like I do with Action Memo. Because of the launcher I'm using, I'm not able to use the Action Memo widget.
Did you found a solution to this?
Regards,
Stefan

S Note has a widget, not the best though
S Note... S Memo, Cute Memo... can try those - or just try searching play store for something similar to your Action Memo.
Thank you all, but none of them fit my needs.
What I'm looking for its a widget that show a note containing a drawing. The best example is the Action Memo widget, but I cannot use it because I use Apex launcher. Another example is GO Note widget, but this also cannot be used with Apex launcher.
How about you switch launcher then. Maybe Nova or my fav ADW launcher ex.
Or you try searching play store/google for one that fits your needs.
We can't have everything -- but can try ^^.
Good luck!
Action Memo doesn't work with any of them, or any other launcher excepting Samsung Touch Wiz.
I tried to find one and I'm still searching in play store. But nothing for now.
Ok I'm confused... I thought you were looking for a note/drawing app widget.. but seems you want the actual Action Memo widget Air Command that is like Pie Control, that allows you to choose the note or drawing apps?
If that's the case, it depends on the ROM you're on... and you can use a note 3 mod (like in Hurricane ROM or Dr. Ketan's ROM/Mods ... or just get something like Pie Control (I used Pie Control Pro) and add your shortcuts to them.
Not sure if any of those fit your bill - otherwise hope for someone else that can give the solution you're looking for.
Good luck!
I do say that the best launcher with customization is Ofcourse Nova launcher.
Nova launcher beta version is now Google companion supported. It will soon roll out for Stable Nova version.
Nova vs System Launcher
[Nova launcher]✓
1-App drawer
2-Change Grid
3-change dimensions
4-Widget resizing overlapping.
5-Custom folder options
6-Backup and restore Configs
7-App drawer Configs
8-Desktop Configs
[System Launcher]✓
1- Lite weight Ram friendly
2-Clean UI
3-Minimal options
4-Supported with Themes
5-beautiful Setup
Some screenshots here with some themes.
Actually System Launcher takes more RAM than nova, both are good in their own features.
MIUI launcher also has live icons for Clock, Calendar and Weather app. Almost all the launchers have live Calendar option now but if I remember correctly, MIUI v6, v7 or maybe both also had seconds display along with hour and minute hands on the clock app icon. That looks pretty if you ask me
I've used Nova launcher before. It's nice. Lots of customization. However. I am using the default MIUI launcher now and I honestly don't miss Nova.
System Launcher
I am more stock admirer so nova hands down... I actually have only one page in nova and launching most apps with appdialer. I use launcher page mainly for some informational widgets and shortcuts
Nova all the way, light and well performing
Nova its customizable, you can turn off / Block screen with Double Tap. Also support 3rd party beauty icons. The bad Thing is some widgets like clock do not work properly.
MIUI stock its very good and support a lot of beautiful themes. Pretty widget and Wallpapers but you can put apps icons by alphabetic order.
smart launcher is way better than both of them, i really dont understand why it isnt more popular
No way default launcher of mi can beat nova...ecen stock Android launcher is better than mi home launcher...After buying a mi phone the first thing I did was to install Nova launcher.
And for the second choise use Buzz launcher
System launcher

I use this Lock widget in MIUI launcher on every screen, quite handy if you ask me.

pls share the link of the themes u have applied ?
I liked Nova Launcher but i like simplicity of Evie Launcher. It has double tap lock and supports different icon packs available on playstore. Give it a try. One more thing is its Free and Ad Free. Enjoy.
I like Nova launcher for the fact you can edit truncated app names, and scroll the dock plus other things. The ONE thing MIUI launcher has in its favor is the Quick Function Widget has a toggle that will turn Mobile data on and off directly without going thru the settings. Thats a big plus for me, but you cant edit app names, or scroll the dock Its a real shame that you cant directly toggle mobile data on and off with nova or power toggle, like you can do with Native MIUI launcher
