thank's i'll check it out

go launcher has it as well

New gingerbread themes have them also and launcher pro, Samsung epic theme has it also...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yeah, I was going to suggest ADW too, but the tradeoff to that is that you lose Sense and all it's widgets. For some people, that might be fine, but depending what you're looking for, it might be a dealbreaker. I'm not sure if any of the custom sense roms offer that option. Maybe someone else could chime in about that.

[APP] Pure Breeze Launcher by Samsung

Here's the Samsung made launcher " Pure Breeze " they offer two version lite and full.

I dislike only one thing about it, the bubbles around the apps in the app drawer.
Sent from my SPH-D700

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 The launcher looks extremely outdated and really ugly.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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

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.

What is lost using Apex or Nova

What widgets, functionalities, and/or apps is lost from touchwiz by using nova or apex launcher?

I use nova, haven't noticed any features missing.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

The only thing I haven't figured out how to do with Apex that I can with TouchWiz launcher is change the wallpaper of both the home and lock screens. Can it be done?

Yes, just go to security I believe. The options are at the top.

Well technically touchwhiz is still running even when you install a third party launcher so you shouldn't be missing any built in functions like smart stay, direct call, etc. I haven't noticed any functionality loss due to installing Nova at all.

Thanks for the input. What about widgets. Coming from Sense, a lot of widgets were lost when I used a third party launcher.

I use apex.... And yes you loose the touchwiz widgets. There were only a few from what I remember as I hated touchwiz after 3 days, it wastes so much screen relistate. So you loose the touchwiz calendar, email, clock, and photo widgets..... I'm just going off memory though there might be more.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

The only thing I miss is being able to organize my app drawer into folders. I have yet to find anything with
APEX that allows me to do that. But there may be something out there to accommodate folders, but I'm not aware of it. If anyone does know or if it's built in, please let me know!

you don't lose the clock widget...

On Jelly Bean, what you lose is the ability to just toss items off the homescreen. You physically have to drag items to the "x" to remove them. You also lose the auto organizer feature when you drag widgets around.

While you can't do that in Apex Launcher (as of the time I am writing this), you can always go to Settings->Wallpaper (It will be under the device category) to change the lockscreen/homescreen/homescreen&lockscreen wallpapers.

Using Apex or Nova also does not allow the badge functionality you have on touch wiz. You know, the little red icons when you have a missed call or email message. It's a bummer as I do like this function; however, Nova is super awesome due to its gesture function.

Nova Prime ($4 in play store) has "Drawer Groups". I have all my apps categorized into communication, games, multimedia, shopping, and system tools. Those folders show up at the top of the drawer, and all the un-categorized apps show up below it.
I think it's still not as good as the ADW Launcher that was built into CM7 that I was using on my DroidX. With that I could make shortcuts on my home screen to an individual category, so the kids could easily get to games and only games.

I like the weather widget. I tried like 4 different launchers and it was not available on any of them. If anyone can figure how to make it work in nova or any of the other launchers, I'll switch over from touchwiz.

Icon Size and Text removal AKA Bigify for Android?

Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:

This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.

Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

Launcher question.

I just have a silly question. Many of the roms have different launchers in place of rosie, or using the aroma installer they give you an option. Usually Nova or Apex, and many people still talk about launcher pro. I use Go Launcher and have for a while now. I have tried those others and several of them only offer some options in a paid version, while Go has it all for free. My question is why does everyone seem to neglect Go Launcher when building roms? No biggie, I'm just curious.

I guess I have never really noticed. It seems pretty fast to me. I set the scroll speed higher and it seems to fling right along. And features like hiding app labels, and missed call and sms notification (with a separate add on app) as well as others are all free. Just a preference thing, so its cool. I'm not down on the others or anything.

Agreed, the launcher itself is alright, but it is really bloated and needs lots of other apps to work well. It isn't that noticeably slow, but bad enough that I prefer Apex because of it.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2

The biggest problem with Go Launcher is that it has so much involved that it makes the phone slower thus making it feel "heavy". When developers create a ROM with a launcher the launcher needs to be light to begin with. It may still have great options that are important to most without extra frilly stuff as go offers.

Not sure what you are referring to with that comment, I don't get any of that. I don't see Go as complicated. Some of the things actually seem easier to me. I like the sms and missed call notifications, even though you do have to install the add on. But other launchers only include this on paid versions. Honestly I'm fine with that. I don't mind someone making money. Would just like to see it as an option for the default launcher in some of the roms using aroma now. But I may be the only one and by no means expect any of our devs to do that for just me.

Yeah, I've found that Go________ has way too much ____________. It feels heavy to me. I want a launcher to be simple, and it seems that all Go stuff is anything but that. Having said, Go to it with your Go. If you like Go, then Go for it!
