[Q] Stock gingerbread launcher.

Please tell me why people like it? It has 3 non changable icons that stay one color and looks like its out of place compared to the rest of a home screen setup.
Just wondering whats so great about it? Am i missing something?

different strokes for different folks.

It gives more of a stock feeling than ADW. And the trashcan is on the bottom dock, the only reasons I used it, then I moved to ADW for honeybread

I actually think it looks a bit better than adw. It gives more of a clean look.

Because the app drawer is the best app drawer of all of them! Especially with a phone with good graphics!

Isn't the same effect app drawer available on adw and lppro?

Well gb launcher2 is just so much smoother then adw or lp. Home screen scrolling is buttery smooth, and the transition for opening the app drawer is much nicer then the other two. The app drawer cube effect shows 5 rows in the fold compared to the others. Now that I can use themes in CM7 without adw, I use it.

And in the stock launcher the apps in the drawer "bounce" much smoother than LP, not as laggy

I believe i read somewhere on here that the stock launcher is hardware accelerated. That is why is runs faster and smoother.
I personally prefer anything stock. Stock apps seem, to me at least, to be smaller and faster. Try to keep the fluff to a minimum.

I love stock anything! My Nexus One made me love the 3D app drawer, and on my G2, its only smoother! I can't wait to see how smooth a stock dual core Android 2.4 phone from Google is gonna be! The G2x is a good example, however it will be froyo, meaning not fully dual core compatible like 2.4 will be! My guess....Nexus X by Motorola! I can wish, can't I??

I just love that stock vanilla google experience...same when ICS, Jellybean drop...ill stick to stock...no overlays or launchers for me...BTW is there a zip I can flash for the gingerbread launcher over adw in CM7..? (There was one for NS)
Edit: I know there's a couple in the market but those aren't as smooth as the ones in NS Development...

Hey,
I really didn't have to do anything but flash it. I flashed this over the ILWT cm7 rom and it just worked right out of the box (on 187b as well as 204).
I wouldn't know how to improve the performance of the launcher, except for common guesses such as reflashing/wiping and such.
Maybe it's just a different understanding of what "working really well" means. I never did get it to work perfectly buttery smooth, a very tiny lag always remained (even though it was running a lot better than adw).

[Q] slow problem when running IGO from GO Launcher EX

I use GO Launcher EX, When I open IGO it works very slow.
Anybody seen this problem before and know how to solve this?

IGO UI it's just slow. I don't think GO Launcher is the reason. Try Sygic Aura.It's better choice for me,and definitely smooth and eye candy interface ...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

+1 for that. I have iGo, and it is slow regardless which launcher I am using. I tried Go Launcher, TouchWiz and classic Gingerbread launcher.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

GO Launcher definitely the problem because when I start IGO from launcherpro plus it works faster.

GO Launcher is little heavy with all this Widgets (if you use them) ... Maybe free RAM is not enough ...

Are there any custom launchers based on jelly bean yet?

Reason I ask is that the stock jb launcher is way faster and smoother than apex or nova but I can't use the stock launcher right now because I use 240 DPI and want 7x6 grid. The stutter when opening app drawer is unbearable. I tried different kernels and even different Roms same thing.
Anything available yet or should I just go back to stock density.

Why not? I bought a nexus so I could implement mods like this. I think the stock density is a waste of the huge display.

I'm using Apex Launcher that you mentioned and I do not notice any difference in smoothness.

You don't get or stutters when opening the app drawer?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Dunno about Apex launcher but with Nova reportedly* you'll get smoothness if you go in to the animation speed options and select stock speed.
(* not my tip - I've always stuck with stock speed on Nova is working fine for me on JB)

I am using the paid version of Nova, which was updated yesterday to support JB animations and it is nothing but butter.
I am stock no root.

What version? I'm on 1.2.2 beta 4
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I still can't quite work out if I find Apex or Nova as smooth as stock, and can thus switch back to them and get customising.

There'a a mod in the themes section. I havent tried it, but it might be worth a look.

That's because stock launcher has nothing in it compared to Apex. I've run 3 JB roms now with apex launcher and Franco kernel. Fast as fast can be. I have to say I am quite disappointed in JB though, I find there is not much to their update.

Tried Nova Prime on a couple of JB roms, set to fast (2above stock) smoooooth transition. Ive never had issues with Nova on GNEX.

Found a solution!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28750050&postcount=5709

Try holo launcher

I found a REAL solution, this is built from the jelly bean launcher source code and also works on ICS, search for holo launcher hd beta.

Another reason to like the stock JB launcher is the fling to remove apps. Now that should be implemented into every launcher.

Apex Launcher..laggy?

I've been using nova for a month or so. Pretty nice, but lacks in features. So i stumbled upon apex and it seemed really rich and nice, especially the previews. The only problem.. is that its really lagggy.. and it uses like 80mb ram + How can i make it not lag like in app drawer and going to previews. I have force gpu thingy in developer options enabled. I have aokp jb rom and trinity 1420mhz cpu and 537 gpu kernel
It's just sluggish in general, on stock and nova. If i rapidly scroll through the appdrawer and the widgets. No problem no lag. But with apex it struggles to load the widget icons when scrolling and lags. And it shows in normal use

Yeaaaaaah I had that as well. Just down to coding I believe. So now I switched to codenandsammy using the touchwiz port... honestly is so damn smooth its a joke. Couldn't tell you how to fix the apex lag issue.

Oh go to the android development thread and look for codenanesammy. Back up your ROM and flash it, really worth it. Make sure your gnexus is gsm model

holo launcher HD is pretty neat aswell, brings a ton of options. bases on googles original launcher2.

I've been using Nova since I got ICS and I love it. No lag and no complaints. Smooth as butter. Sometimes the CPU governor can cause some lag (like conservative or powersave). Double check to make sure that either of those aren't set.

Apex Launcher has become increasingly laggier recently. I switched over to Nova when it was on sale, and it's been so much smoother for me. Little to no lag or stuttering going through homescreens or when bringing up the app drawer.

that's problem of all CM10 roms you can change theme,it won't solve fully your problem but you can see difference.

JellyKing works perfectly. Even the Nameless CM10. Make sure you're doing wipe data/factory wipe in your recovery to ensure no apps are left making your phone lag. Also, Nova Launcher works best in my opinion.

Our CM10 does not support project butter so it won't be very smooth.

Disable dithering.

+1 for jellyking 2.0. Also oc to min 787mhz or it will lag. And don't use trebuchet launcher. I use Nemus Launcher which is really light weight.
