Hello everyone. I just got my epic and I was wondering if it were possible to keep the touchwiz app drawer with the multiple pages and icons but get another dock like the one in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9170702&postcount=10311
All help is appreciated. Thanks
No, that is Launcher Pro, an entirely different launcher app, though I have to ask what about the touchwiz app drawer entices you so much?
ADW
Try ADW launcher. It's in the market. I haven't used it in a while but I believe it allows you to use the horizontal app drawer and it is otherwise similar to LP.
GoLauncher will do what you are looking for.

At first I hated it but after changing to launcherpro I realized that I liked the TouchWiz app drawer alot more. I guess its because I had the palm pre before the epic.

This is everything I'm looking for but is it possible to have the backgrounds on the icons in the app drawer like the touchwiz has.

Nope. As far as i know only Touchwiz does that cause those backgrounds are in the twlauncher.apk(i think)

What would be the best/fastes Launcher for the GIO?
TouchWiz30Launcher seems to be my default on my 2.35 version (JonasHendrickx v3.1 rom) (There some modded versions of Touchwiz to. If anyone hase a link i ad it) This does not seems stable all the time when i turn on the phone. Lag. Mediascanner starts reading the sd and this can take a very long time. And sometimes crash the launcher. (A app called Rescan Media root from market can disable media scanner.)
Personally im looking for the fastest launcher for the GIO. I havent tested many my self yet.
Tested by me:
Default Touchwiz V30 works and looks oke. (Samsung's TouchWiz is quite a power eater i did read.)
Launcher Pro (Free version) Fast and basic. Anoying: The background picture turns black sometimes in the version that i used.
ADW Launcher i did test with (CM7) Fast and stable. Nice options.
This launcher seem nice to me:
Go Launcher link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423043
ADW Launcher (CM7) Does have good options.
Sugested by forum users:
sgs II launcher = Ported by spacecaker.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472318
Go Launcher EX = Most GO apps are cool and way better than stock samsung ones. This one seems very populair!
ADW Launcher (CM7)
Zeam Launcher = If you want other stuff and options you may use launcherpro or adw launcher ex
Launcher Pro = Has pretty basic functionality.
Balancer Launcher = Almost as fast as LauncherPro. it has some advanced tweaks and stuff.
360 launcher = Pretty and has nice themes and screenlocks also I love the images and video tab on app drawer. Also, folders on drawer is pretty neat as well. Only down side for some people, no landscape mode on this launcher.
MIUI Launcher =
Nytmarez tested: TouchWiz Launcher, Go Launcher EX, ADW Launcher (CM7), Zeam Launcher, Launcher Pro, and Balancer Launcher
He thinks the Laucher pro is the fasted one. Most others of the others seem pretty lagish on Gio is what Nytmarez thinks.
Please give me you're opinion on you're favorite launcher
In my opinion, LauncherPro is the best. It lags a little at boot (if you let your device be idle for a minute after boot, no lagging).
Also, if you are rooted, you can use app called Rescan Media root from market.
It can disable media scanner.
my opinion?

The SGS II launcher won't be on the market, but there is a thread on these forums with a link for you to download it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472318
I think launchers are your own personal choice. I dont like go launcher, but like launcherpro and ADW

The problem is that wall launchers, puts me the system too slow...
So the best for me is the stock.
By the way, spacecaker, can you make your launcher without the letters in the dock?
Thanks

I think touchwiz is the best. Because it is stabil,background on menu is black (for long battery) and it is orginal

Color background has nothing to do with battery save on any display with backlight.
You have "brightness" in Settings/Display and that's all. If even one pixel must be of high brightness (clock numbers for example), the backlight will work at setted value.
It matters only for OLED displays.
Go Launcher Ex
Well gonna give my 2 cents about launcher as well
Personally I use 360 launcher on my gio. Found it while browsing SGT7 forum it's fast, pretty and has nice themes and screenlocks also I love the images and video tab on app drawer. Also, folders on drawer is pretty neat as well. Only down side for some people, no landscape mode on this launcher.

I vote for Go Launcher Ex.
IMO most GO apps are cool and way better than stock Samsung ones.
I have tested the following:
TouchWiz Launcher
Go Launcher EX
ADW Launcher
Zeam Launcher
Launcher Pro
Balancer Launcher
IMHO for Gio, the fastest is Launcher Pro but it also has pretty basic functionality. Almost as fast as LauncherPro is Balancer Launcher and it has some advanced tweaks and stuff. All of the others seem pretty lagish on Gio to me.
I have GO Launcher. It seems to work as well as the default ADW does on CM7, but with more functionality.
And because I only have two pages, It doesn't seem to lag at all.
Go launcher EX
SGS II launcher
which one would you recommend? pro and con of each?
i really like touchwiz annimation when opening up app drawer. And the touchwiz widget
i tried apex on s3 and it was smooth but it doesnt include the touchwidget widget like the calender month and the weather widget
is there a way to get the touchwiz widget on apex or nova?

Nova and apex are almost the same but it has gesture support, wider range grid and has support for icon packs to change the looks of icons and no. No touchwiz widget on third party launchers

I used nova over stock, never used apex. However when sliding between homescreens there would ALWAYS be a lag upon the first swipe to a not yet visited screen, which bothered me a lot but eventually decided to just root and flash a cm10 based rom. Still would prefer nova over touchwiz, especially allowing the ability to modify the transition speed, makes it feel much snappier. Apex may have the same settings though.
Apex vs Touchwiz Power Consumption
From My Power Consumption statistics:
Apex Launcher
Time of display on: 20m Time of CPU in use 9s
Touchwiz home
Time of display on: 28m Time of CPU in use 4s
Apperently, Apex consumes much more battery accourding these stats.

You could get Google's calendar widget, which is as good or better than Touchwiz'. Also you could get fancy widgets for weather, or weatherbug, or accuweather.
I'm using Holo launcher by the way. I think there's not too much difference between any of them.
I use Nova, works great. Never used Apex so I cant say. Touchwiz is okay but I dont really like it.

I use Apex. I just need a grid that's at least 6 tall by 5 wide.
I tried Nova, too, and they are indeed almost the same. Nova did some things better but I switched back to Nova because of the app drawer - infinite scrolling within a tab. It was just too annoying to not have it with Nova.

Since S2 i am on apex. Never thought of looking another option .
For widgets there are alot of options in play store.
I use Xperia more smooth to me second favourite is nova consume less battery to the others

Just use Nova launcher. You can choose from a bunch of different transitions like carousel, cube, etc
You can also have a button to launch sense/blinkfeed if you use it
Is there any way to force the stock HTC sense launcher to display 5x4 instead of 4x4?

By the lack of replies, I'm going to guess no. I'll stick with Nova.
