I dislike only one thing about it, the bubbles around the apps in the app drawer.

Me too, I hope this a beta launcher they should make it more sense like with a little bit touchwiz. And maybe a couple of screen transitions, vertical cube effect would look nice for the app drawer.

Try clearing the defaults on the launcher you're on in settings > apps > manage apps. Then just hit the home button and you should have the option to select the launcher.

Use an app called home switcher ... Free on market.

Agreed as well. The launcher looks extremely outdated and really ugly.

I liked it. Needs way more customization. It has no graphical acceleration though. Until they put that in it will be a fail in my book. Might as well use sense capped at 30fps.

Not a good software. I saw the screenshots and thought the 'minimalist' interface and design would be great but as it turned out, the launcher was slow, buggy and had absolutely no customization features (aside from changing the tab colors). The launcher felt sluggish going back to the main home screen and appeared to have no graphical acceleration. I had to eventually turn off the animation to get acceptable performance.
My advice? Avoid. Btw, I did not get a refund.

Definitely not usable in its current form. Its slow - if it was smooth as butter I would have kept it installed for at least a few days to try it out.
Also if they don't make this free for Samsung handsets I think that would be really crappy of them.

Forum pool on when we get an official ICS update

I read the forum rules and online gambling isn't mentioned. Any good guesses on when we will be getting 4.0? I am betting $5.00 on 3/30/12.

I'll take the end of February for $0.00... They have to add all the unneeded bloatware.

Way too optimistic dates above me ^

Id say about a month after the sgs3 is released

as soon as bubby finishes cm7 they can do ics, lmao

$5 we won't see it until August

What I really want to know is when if ever we will have a fully functional AOSP ICS ROM? I'm sure TW will make ICS look and feel like crap.

What about never. Lol. Who knows maybe Sammy will surprise us and drop it on us soon.

Okay, then you just throw on the Trebuchet launcher from CM9, or even the vanilla ICS launcher, and your problems are solved.
Dang, you wouldn't even have to have Root for that. Just like when I bought this phone: Touchwiz 4.0 didn't even make it out of the Best Buy parking lot before I had ADWEX running. (and Touchwiz 4 actually had a slim chance of survival, because it's the best version they've made so far, to be sure.....)
However, ADW won out merely because of the sheer speed factor.
(And yes, I know that Touchwiz is still there, lurking underneath, but it's really almost transparent compared to HTC's Sense or Motorola's Blur thing....)

EDIT: Oh, yeah, the pool for "official" release: February 21st.

I think you should make the launcher look more in favor of the new flavor. The people app is royally renovated and I am looking the look. Any idea if you can make the theme of the whole phone look like that?
1. Making the status bar transparent
2. Vertical scrolling of the apps menu. Scroll horizontally to go to widgets menu.
3. Changing the whole background to white (pearl white) with black roboto font, or at least an option to do so.
4.to make apps on the dock bar run continuously so that there a no lag when trying to open them.(everyone I try to open the people app, it takes sometime to load and it's irritating)
5 instead of grey background on every pop up menu, a blue white themed menu options would be great. I am new to xda, so if this is in a wrong forum, please feel free to post the same in the right forum.
I greatly appreciate the work your are doing. Good luck!

Official ICS? I'm guessing April or May probably.
Unofficial? January is looking pretty likely so far.

that's more like it! 6-9 months for me as well. gentleman's bet of course though.

My request was not exactly a theme. the status bar becoming transparent can be viewed as hiding the status bar. scrolling options is definitely launcher. and keeping the dock icons in homescreen running use definitely launcher again. and yeah dude you missed something. And as long as you don't do anything productive there's no need to lol. And this is me being polite.

ADW replacement for CM7?

Well, I have to admit it that I dont like ADW launcher in CM7. I prefer much more simpler such like Gingerbread launcher. I found one but it kept FC on me. Do you know where to find one that is working properly?

I can't say I I have a gingerbread launcher apk, but "zeam" is a simple launcher in comparison to adw at least it has been to me in the past

I know i was just simply saying i remembered that back in 2010 haha. isnt AOSP simpler

launcher pro plus is worth every penny. LOVE IT.
you can try launcher pro the free version first..
beware of the other fake "launcher pro"'s out there though.

Go launcher works well

I'm currently using zeam, its excellent. Doesn't have the features of the others but its very fast and very stable. I haven't had it fc on me in 6 months.
From what I understand launcher pro has become rather bloated? What do you guys think?

I had Zeam on my phone for a looooong time. Gave up on it after a couple of bad updates that introduced lag and switched to LauncherPro. Despite having larger footprint, IMHO LP is pretty lag free and has the features that I want (scrolling widgets) as well as a way of saving the dock settings. Zeam kept crashing on my Epic, and there was no easy way to restore the icon spacing etc. settings. Granted, I never ran it on CM7 Epic, but still have Zeam as my choice launcher on my CM7 Nook Color. I also have ADW EX (the premium version of ADW) and feel that its interface is not very intuitive/somewhat clunky vs. both Zeam and Launcher Pro - but it is the most full-featured and customisable one of the three. Never tried Go Launcher but heard some very good things about it.

And another +1 for Go Launcher, although it seems like it's a bit too full-featured to be considered a "simple" replacement. I don't have any issues with the options, but I could see it being somewhat confusing for anyone wanting just a plain home replacement.

Am getting so frustrated!!! It's somehow gotta be my phone. I've cleared cache and memory and still they constantly crash disabling my phone!!! Any thoughts?

Try go browser. Its what I always use.

I like go launcher but I remember reading something from konane (I believe) and he said that within golauncher there was a similar service to carrier iq and that it sends reports (or something) to the developer with info about our phone. That is why most people inlcuding myself expirience poorer battery life with go launcher. Other than that I think Go launcher is the way to go!

Wallpaper scroll on ICS

Hello all...
How I can enable my wallpaper scrolling on my ICS..??

You can't. Samsung removed that ability. Rumor has it Apple invented scrolling wallpaper shortly after they developed Fire and The Wheel.

Was waiting to see someone say that, next suggestion will be to use Apex, Nova or any of the new launchers. Unless one of them very recently added it back in somehow, none of these suggestion will work anymore. At first the initial removal of the feature was still working using Wallpaper Wizardry. Somewhere along the lines they got rid of it altogether. Even using Apex/Nova and setting a scrolling wallpaper through WW did nothing.

i was going to mention go launcher too. it is easy to use, and a lot you can do with it. i never see anyone mention it here though

I didn't think of Go... I usually avoid Go products because of the bloat and battery drain.
LauncherPro looks like it's working for scrolling wallpaper. It's just fairly long in the tooth these days...

Lmao, I was wondering why my wallpaper wouldn't scroll. Alot of people are fine with LauncherPro still, even on ICS. If you don't mind it, give it a go.

Apex Launcher + Holo Locker

Hey guys, I'm using these great apps to replace my launcher and lockscreen.
The problem is: Eventually, when I push the home button and unlock my device, all icons are gone for a few seconds (as if the launcher was restarting). I don't know what is going on and didn't found anything on google.
Does anyone know what is causing this? Any tips?
I know it's probably Holo Locker's fault, but it would be nice to fix that without having to remove it.

Sounds like a launcher redraw, I don't know holo locker but in apex you got an option to keep it in memory to reduce those redraws. Maybe try it.

It definitly sounds like launcher redraw. It happened to me very often on my SGSI. Normally after using an app the steals lots of ram or one that stores alot in the cache memory.

U should spend 4$$ on the go launcher holiday special,its a lightweight version of normal go launcher ex witch also includes go locker integrated and it is only 4.7 mb.
A lot of the additional crap from go launcher is gone,but still customizable with themes-text color-icon size-etc..it is so fast,smooth and stable..really a joy to use IMO..

The reason for I never got Go Launcher is because imo it's way customized. And I like the look and feel of the stock android from nexus. But thanks for the tip, I'll watch some videos to see how it is...

It is slimmed down about 40%.I personally think that to much crap is filled in free go launcher ex,but the holiday edition is so fast and stable.the reviews on play store is amazing,I mean ppl can't/ won't read OP and also don't uninstall their free go launcher and go locker before installing the paid one.go locker is integrated in the paid version.and ofcause u can not restore your settings from free launcher as this is a completely different launcher,but so what it takes max 30 min to set up your app/widgets on homescreen,if u really have cramped up your homescreens..
Refund it within 15min,I do that quite often if I don't like the apps I just purchased.
