Is it possible to get the stock ics vanilla launcher without rooting? - HTC One V

The question is clear I guess.
I just bought my htc one and I was thinking some time of non root customization on my phone
Though I will root it sometime later.
Also, are there any chances of jellybean coming to this device?
How does the homescreen customization looks like in ICS? Does a dialog box appear, or something like honeycomb carousel?

Nova launcher is what you are looking for.

I would personally recommend Apex Launcher, it's faster, and has more customizations.

Check this out, just found it http://phandroid.com/2012/12/15/20-...-stock-android-experience-without-root-guide/

There is many just look for em in the playstore

LauncherPro Beta

Has anyone tried this??
It's in the top free downloads on the market, and I definitely recommend it!
It has the fly in effect when you open/close an app (a la iPhone) which makes everything feel so much more fluid.
Obviously HTC widgets don't work which is a shame, and its a little buggy being a beta, but you should try it!
Just downloaded it to give it a try. I like it.
The only downside is there is no choice of what to put on the bottom bar. I don't use the people or stock messaging app. If I could change them I'd probably use this over helix 2.
Busy trying it out now - it's extremely quick. I think I'll keep using it for a while, see how it goes.

The standard helix is actually better then this one. Especially in speed and customization

agree,
the only thing thats stopping me from using a launcher is no htc widgets and not being able to customize the grid of icons on the desktop so 4v4 only :<

how can you change the grid of icons in HTC Desire to more than 4 icons ???
Also i think that the Sense launcher is by far the smoothest and the best so far. nothing can beat it in speed, fluencity and HTC widgets.

You could install Touch Wiz. But you'd get no Sense widgets.
How do I go about doing this?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I am also interested if anyone knows of any Sense mods or homescreen replacements that have app drawers like TouchWiz. I hate the vertical scrolling. The paged horizontal scrolling seems much more friendly and quicker.
Search for touchwiz3.apk in desire or nexus forums, it is around somewhere.

I tried out touchwiz.. I like some parts of it but hate others. Thanks though.
ADW Launcher has an option for horizontal scrolling rather than vertical scrolling of the app list. It also allows you to customise the number of homescreens - check that out from the Market. You will, however, be unable to use any of the HTC Sense widgets while you are using ADW.
I'll check it out. I've used it in Cyanogenmod.. I didn't like it then (at all). It seems 'rough'. Maybe it's better since I tried it.
Yeah, adw.launcher does about everything you asked. I used it for a day or two, but I personally prefer LauncherPro, it doesn't offer Horizontal scrolling though.

have a good search on the market yourself would be the best option for you. there are literally thousands of different options for you. but customisation is relatively limited for non rooted phones, live wallpapers and HTC themes, avaliable though HTC built in Sense Themes.
with certain roms, they take on the T-Mobile theme system what utilises much more themes to download and customise. launchers only make changes to your main screen and application list, icons as such a limited.
adw launcher, launcher pro, helix launcher
Re. Make your phone look nice without root...
This might raise some hackles, but in my opinion, when it comes to the aesthetics between rooted and stock phones, there isn't usually a drastic difference. You can get a stock ROM looking really great. I run LauncherPro Plus on CM7.1, but to be honest the cosmetic difference between that and running it on stock Froyo is fairly minor, to the, uhm, passerby. *hides*
Thanks this helps alot
An here are also some nice Themes for Sense 2.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801928 and Sense 2.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048894
Launcher pro is a good one. You should check it out

You could also try go locker - free from market. Loads of different themes/ styles downloadable from market, some free, some paid.

The apps mentioned (widget locker, go locker, lockbot) will give you a new lockscreen - whatever style you want. This could be default Gingerbread android, or like the new ICS android or something completely different. Most are free, with a selection of free themes to also download and try. I've got go locker with ICS theme on my cheap tablet - works great. If you don't want to download the app - just try a google search of images of go locker - you can get a good impression of what's available.
You also mention getting rid of the ring, not an app to replace them? There are also apps which will get rid of the lockscreen altogether, so the screen is on when you press a button. Not used them myself, but "No Lock" seems highly rated on the market.
If for some reason you actually want to mod the rom - then sorry, that's beyond me!
If you running Revolution grab the lockscreen and idlescreen apk out of the LeeDrOiD hd port that is pretty much a 2.1 rom till you add the sense 3 add on. It should work out, they use the same base.

[Q] jelly bean roms no more sliding wallpaper?

hi all, i just flashed my phone to ARHD 15.0 and i noticed that when i slide left/right in the home screen, the wallpaper no longer slide, is there a setting for this feature to be enabled? i cant seem to find it
thanks!
Wallpaper scrolling in the latest jellybean update has been disabled. The same must have been done with your rom.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
ohh, i see.. that kinda sucks anyways, may i ask why they disabled the feature? or can you point me to any links about this getting removed? thanks for the reply!
I think its something to do with a Apple patent. Apple are pure patent trolls and i hate them for that.

I guess it was basically because to allow the complete rotation of home screen.
also you can try different launchers.. wallpaper scrolling would work fine. It has been disabled with just rosie
Try apex or nova launchers.
I hate the way they got rid of it. It was something really cool in android, and I don't want to use a different luancher because senses looks nice also the extra ram usage, and its to much hasle to use Rom cleaner.
I'm pretty sure our awesome Devs will be able to add this feature to custom JB Roms.
6 screens
Anybody notice we only have 6 instead of 7 screens? There's a big gap where the seventh screen was supposed to be.
