[Q] CM7 Launcher Issues - HTC Wildfire S

I really like CM7, but I'm having problems when installing launchers. I've tried both LauncherPro and Go Launcher Ex. When I install the new launcher, it's menu doesn't show up under Settings and ADWLauncher's menu disappears. So I'm stuck being able to do anything. Any ideas?
Since I'm not seeing it, can anyone tell me where LauncherPro's menu should show up? I'm assuming just under CyanogenMod settings where ADWLauncher used to be.

Have u tried hit menu in home screen after installed go launcherEx?

Thanks, that's it! I didn't think to check there because I have a shortcut to Settings, and that's where I accessed ADWLauncher's settings.

I checked out the reviews and it looks like a good launcher, but I'm quite happy with LauncherPro for now. Tks.

if you install a launcher different from ADW it is normal...if you uninstall the new launcher the adw settings' sub menu will appear again...

and a new menu will be under menu/more/adw settings ...

go launcher ex ftw.

Can anyone tell me if there is a default android launcher(unlike sense launcehr,ADW,etc.)
i.e. a "core" launcher or something like that.

Q, launchers cm rom

Hi guys, need some help, im using cm7.1 rom and it has adwlauncher by default, and i just downloaded adwlauncher ex and when i press home button it keeps asking to choose launcher all the time. I cant delete defaulted adwlauncher. Is it any way to may adw ex as default? Thanks for help

Don't worry about deleting ADW. It's in the ROM's inherent system framework. It doesn't matter if it stays.
But in terms of the "Launcher Chooser" dialogue box, are you saying that it doesn't have the little option button to remember ADW Ex as the default launcher???
it didnot work but after reboot its ok

[Q] Looking for a new Launcher

Hi guys,
I'm looking for some suggestions for a replacement launcher. I've been using CM7.2 on my wildfire for a while, and I love it, but the included ADW launcher is just a bit laggy.
I've tried Launcher Pro, and its almost perfect, except that it keeps giving me FCs, and its not been developed for a while now.
Lightning Launcher is supposed to be smooth and light, but I can't get it to work, just a black screen.
Zeam seems ok, but isn't quite as smooth as Launcher Pro, plus no scrolling widgets.
The things I'm looking for is something smooth and lightweight, and if it can support scrollable widgets, then even better.
Can anyone offer suggestions?
I used ADW... And it was OK then... Check your Over/Underclocking settings (This could make your phone smoother to run... You can use RAM Manager (from PlayStore) also to manage RAM. Cheers.
Buy ADWex or holo launcher is similar.if you search around there is a thread of all launchers.

ok, as for my overclock / underclock settings, I'm running stock speeds, and using the SmartAssV2 governor. My aim is to make the phone smooth, and get a good battery life from it.
Is ADWex faster than ADW standard?
Try Nova Launcher or Trebuchet, I prefer Trebuchet.
Sweeterhome is also another!
I thought Nova and Trebuchet were for ICS+?

You are right, they're for ICS and up
I prefer launcherpro, It's the fastest with the best customization
It's not FC on my wildfire, I'm using LeWaOS ROM.
It wasn't FC also when i was using CM7.2
Did you try fixing permissions from recovery ??

Nemus launcher serves good as well.

I totally forgot about that, I'll give it a try!
Thanks for all your suggestions.
I'm also going to give all these other launchers a try.
Also, I made a mistake earlier. FTL Launcher was the one that I couldn't get to work at all, not Lightning.
Any others worth a go? I found an english translation of 360 Launcher that I'm going to give a try also.

The right settings are the settings that work best for you/ the rom your using/your rom setup and your screen set up! So as you can see......it would be stupid of me to say "these are the right settings " because we all have our own preferences. Just play around until you find your best setup with any launcher you use.

+1 for ADW EX launcher,used to think launcher pro was smoothest but with ADW EX I can get that smoothness with right setting and loads of customization options,where launcher pro falls short.ADW EX is the best launcher IMO!
I only tried preinstalled launchers on roms (aka integrated) and I can say that ADW's the best :good:
LOL now you made me think of readding ADW launcher to LeWaOS ROM

I'd say use either Trebuchet or LauncherPro for ICS
I use Trebuchet and it works relly nice and smooth
Adw ex by far the smoothest for me!

Go launcher

Hi,
I installed go launcher on my s3.
my priblem is that whenever i call, i get a weird screen without any options and after a few second i press the buttons and i goes to stock.
How can i change the in call menu and apperience?
If it matters, i use omega 13.
thanks.
Hey. Try not using Go Launcher, (Personal View) i think it is one of the worst launcher out there esp for such a good phone.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
why?
and which one do u have?
BUMP...
fyi, i hav been using Go launcher for months on my stock S3 smoothly, enjoying a few free themes on it.
Use application apex launcher pro. It is awesome.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
any comparison between the 2?
Apex is faster and you can set behaviors setting
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Sorry to differ! But go launcher is one of the best launcher in the market now. And Go can also do behaviour setting. TBH, apex doesn't even comes close to go launchers customizability.
Apex is a light launcher so it is fast, but the pro version costs money! lol. But Go got more themes, more settings to tweak. And I run it super smooth. Oh and it is free!!

I also prefer Go Launcher, the redraw issue is a pain, but that's the same with all the launchers on Stock ICS
GO
I have full version of Apex, Nova and inspite of that I prefer the GO. I think its the best. Never had any problems with it. The gesture options are most with this.

I was thinking that, but when using the navigational bar tweak, and you press the home button in it, it switches back to the default luncher and not nova, the ROM doesn't come with a default screen manager?

Press the menu button and then Manage apps. Go to All then scroll down to Launcher and select that. Once in there go down to Clear Defaults and select that. Press the home button then you'll be prompted to choose a default launcher, choose Nova. Done. When you start with a freshly installed ROM you have a choice of the stock launcher or Nova. The stock launcher doesn't have any customization, that's what you chose

How to Disable HTC Sense and Use Standard Android Launcher?

I know how to disable or uninstall HTC sense using Titanium Backup, but when doing so, pressing home launches "Google Now" instead of the default android launcher. How do I replace HTC Sense with a standard android launcher?
Thanks

Ok. There are some roms which include a desensing script. Otherwise I see no real point in uninstalling htc sense unless you really hate it that much, just download apex or nova launcher from the playstore, press the home button once installed chosen launcher and just press always.

I just wanted to try out the vanilla launcher. Does it have a name? Anyway, I tried a few launches on the app store including Nova, but ended up going with Smart Launcher for now.

What's wrong with Nova/apex launcher? It's standart android launcher, copy of what nexus devices are using.
+1 to that Rofos, you can't remove sense if your not on Custom ROM.
+ Removing sense gets rid of the pic camera !
