Yes it does. Just stick with the stock sony ericsson launcher.

Is it significant?
Thanks btw

The stock launcher is icky, and although custom one might use slightly more battery life, I've never seen any complaints about it. Go is fine, although recently I've gotten paranoid about trusting that developer with my phone and switched to ADW. Just personal preference, though. I wouldn't use stock.

No. But its still a drain.

Might stick with stock for now, any way I can change it up? I have desktop visualiser but is there anything else?

It's got cool animations. A ics style app drawer.. folders... I think it looks better than tw4 since our screen is pretty damn big.

considering the fact that the gs3 is being launced with ICS, yes, you need ICS.
Hi. But this TW launcher can't be used in ICS with AOSP. It's true???

Looks pretty much like the stock ICS launcher w/ the 5 column tweak and a different icon for the app menu.

I downloaded the 4*5 one. I didn't flash, I put the lib file in system/lib and copied the system/app files, fixed permissions and reboot. I needed to make a bit of room in 'system' and I wouldn't bother trying calendar as op says it forcecloses. Launcher runs silky smooth though - my new favorite.

Probably. I haven't ran cm10 in awhile but if the updates re-write system files then most likely that mod will be erased each time.

And that is why the OP details are always important.. Would have save a few clicks of the mouse.
See it on a few devices so unless someone is willing to port it over and test.. but the short search of ports looks like a TW base would be the way you'd have to go. Breaks the actual puzzle and all you'd get is a touch location.. Desire Z folks, sidekickers, mezmorized peeps, Evos.. failed.
Seeing how it's on the Galaxy S, maybe someone here will try.
Sorry misread that I will check into it

Not trying to be disrespectful, but I'd never would have suggested an app if the OP would have stated you were on CM10. Hopefully you can uninstall it and get back to normal.
Ask for a port, revamp your OP. State your current setup, details, and what you're looking for. It never hurts to ask and it never hurts to provide as many details as you can.

Freshly Unlocked, Need ROM

Ok, so I'm finally unlocked and everything and I'm looking for a good ROM. I'm sure all of the ROMs on here provided by our amazing devs are great, but I'm looking for a stock ROM. Anything higher than 4.1 and that implements the camera fixes. The most stable ROM possible.

How is battery life compared to stock? Only reason im still on stock is battery life/performance.

Their all pretty good really depends on ROM and usage ... Its never the same for everyone ....

I found that battery life for the most of it is so very close its almost pointless, I also believe that the BL varies for everyone dependant on apps and usage. In any case you can most likely find tweaks for whatever ROM u want to use to help with battery life.

It depends what you're doing. Some activites kills the battery twice as others. Screen brightness, radio signal, gps on or off.....a lot of things can make a huge difference one way or the other.

You can customize a lot with xposed on touchwiz. Just do a nandroid backup first....I find xposed can mess stuff up sometimes if you're unlucky with certain changes.
