Go Lock Screen (New!)

Hey guys, for those of you who have Go Launcher, the team just release a Go Lock Screen app which is really really nice. It's quite difficult to search on the market so to find it do the following:
Press Menu > Go Store > Go Locker (one of the four picture box on top) > Go Locker > Install
All the lock screens are really nice; I'm currently using the FourKey theme.

Holy crap! this thing rocks. Think I found my widget locker replacement..... for now.

I can't find the app. I'm using ADW. I'll wait until it pops up. It looks nice though.

Widget locker just got updated too for ICS, and its pretty slick...

You have to have Go Launcher.

Oh man. I already set ADW the way I want it. So in order to use the lock screen I have to use Go Launcher too right? Is there any way around that?

Not that I know of. Widget Locker just updated their app today as mentioned above, it's pretty nice with their new themes too.

EDIT:
There's no way to change the lockscreen wallpaper?

I can't download Widget Locker. It just stays at loading via the Market. This sucks.

[Q] Touchwiz vs....

So Ive tried all kinds of launchers out there. And after a few weeks or so I keep finding myself going back to touchwiz. I'm always reading how people hate touchwiz but Im starting to thing that its the best launcher.
I was using GOLauncher for the longest but it just doesn't feel as nice as touchwiz.
What launchers are you using that you think is better than touchwiz?

I'm using ADW Launcher. Right now, I have 4 icons of my choice on the bottom, to go to my App Drawer, you have to swipe up, and swiping down anywhere brings the notification down, so I don't have to reach all the way to the top.
I think the real thing is TouchWiz vs MotoBlur vs HTC Sense. I don't really mind TouchWiz, but I really do lyk being able to swipe up for the app drawer. BTW, I really prefer HTC Sense. It's so awesome.
Also, TouchWiz uses a lot of resources. That's also a reason why the Vibrant isn't getting ICS with TouchWiz. TouchWiz has too much going on with it, which slows the phone down.
You probably won't notice the slow down, unless you change your ROM and use an AOSP ROM. (Vanilla Android)

I don't think the epic 4g touch will ever slow down. Touch Wizz home screen is hardware accerrated which means scroling side to side will be made smoother than a non HW accellerates launcher (tecknically). How ever i have used GOlauncher PRO which isnt HW accellarated and its practically just as smooth even though on any phone of lesser hardware it would be noticably laggier. This phone just powers through with ease how ever. Eventually i went back to touch wizz because its simple and works flawlessly and isnt bad looking (unlike how i feel about how htc sense looks). OP i went down the same exact test road you did and honestly Touch Wiz is my personal choice. Its really up to you and what style you like. This phone will breeze through any aftermarket launcher wether its HW accellerated or not. I would suggest dooling around and testing several out. There lots of different tweaks that ADB launcher and GO launcher offer that Touch Wizz doesnt. But i love how simple and easy it is and looks.
Oh FYI HTC Sense and MotoBlur arnt available for a samsung phone. Honestly i prefer Touch Wizz over sense any day after using sense for over 2 years. I know you were asking for what launchers people think are the best. I like stock the most but have done TONS of research of after market launchers and it seems the the one you and i have both already tested GO Launcher Pro is by far the most widely used and the overall favorite for after market ones.

The customizable dock and gestures are a large reason I like the look and feel of GO Launcher EX over TouchWiz. I even played some with ADW, but still like GO Launcher slightly better. It may be because I'm an iPhone convert [FREE AT LAST!] and felt I could customize GO Launcher a little more to match things I'm used to like sideways scrolling in the app drawer, etc.
Haven't compared speed too carefully, but it seems as fast. I recently rooted, put down the Blazer ROM, and overclocked, so either way it's blazing.

The newest iteration of ADW EX is the best launcher experience I've ever used: To me, even better than Go Launcher, what with the new ICS-like interface.
That's one of the apps that I'm so glad I paid for, as the dev is totally on his game as far as updates and cutting-edge releases go.
There's a reason that Teamdouche included ADW as part of CyanogenMod for all that time:
It works REALLY well, and has enough customization out-of-the-box that even those guys basically said "Yeah, this'll work fine for us."
That speaks volumes, to me.
ADW EX ftw, for now, and for the foreseeable future, as well.

Ah -- I prob haven't tried the newest edition. I'll check it out!

I have tried them all. But I still don't care who knows it but I like touchwiz. And I'm not just talking about replacement launchers. Blur/sense/aosp they all suk.
Touchwiz is my fave. Also I have my nomex undies on sooo flame away.

But I do agree W/mazook ADWex is purty good. But I still always go back to TW..

I have no problem with TW, I just got too used to launcher pro, honestly only the dock I would miss, I'm used to having 5 icons there and the app drawer always in center.

Sorry about that. Ment to also put that it does have a 5app dock also. Give it a try,this is what stock outa the box should be. Samsung needs to fire there whole R&D department and hire some of the dev's here on XDA.

One last thing. Have you tried to hold your finger on the bottom page indicator dots and slide your finger? It will move through your pages super fast but not so fast that you cant see your apps. I feel this much faster than any scrolling app drawer. Just my two cents. It works the same on the home screen also.

The latest update of ADW EX is great. I use it on my Epic Touch and my NS4G running ICS. I am really torn between the ICS stock launcher and ADW EX on my Nexus but ADW EX runs so well and with a custom ICS icon pack...

El29 wallpaper fix?

I've seen a thread on here about scrolling wallpaper being disabled with el29. Somebody posted modified APK, yet it doesn't seem to work, other than it allowing for.different dimensions in resizing. Most custom roms have it working, how do you fix it? I'd like to have stock el29 with wallpaper hack .

To my knowledge only miui doesn't have scrolling wp and thats only with certain themes.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Why would Sprint/Samsung disable scrolling on wallpapers?? That's stupid, now many live wallpapers are ruined since you can't see the whole scene.

I would like to know a good fix as well. Even knowing which roms have it enabled would be nice.

You dont need a custom rom to fix it. Just install a different launcher. I use go launcher ex and everything works great, including scrolling wallpapers.

I'd like to keep the stock launcher.

Also when I upgraded to EL29 the microbes live wallpaper went poof and was gone. Had to google it to get the apk to get it back.

Calk 2.8.1 fixed the scrolling wallpaper issue.

+1 I've tried everything to get the scrolling wallpaper back on stock EL29 without going to a custom ROM. I even pm's Calk to see if he could do a zip for that feature, but no response yet.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I like to use tw 4.5 launcher and even though it is custom, scrolling wallpaper still doesn't seem to work. Getting a custom launcher still doesn't let you properly resize the wallpaper, unless you replace the gallery apk.
I appreciate work by all the devs, but there isn't a rom out there that I like too much. Most of them make visual changes I am not fond of, or brightness settings. I know that both calcs rom and blazer have working scrolling wallpaper and are both on el29.
Am using unnamed now, since it is still very stable and fast. Had to disable updates via terminal emulator to prevent el29 from downloading and notifying me every hour. Problem with that is it also disables profile and prl updates.

Bump, anyone? I really hate that my tw launchers nor none of the gingerbread launchers work. I'm not fond of adw, lp, nor.go.

I flashed the AIO mod and it has working scrolling wallpapers. I think samsung disabled it when they turned on continuous scrolling through homescreens. It looks a little funny w/ some wallpapers to jump from screen 1 to screen 7 backwards.
Edit: make sure you flash the "preflash" zip too or it won't work.

Blend rom scrolls
sent from the near past

Don't want to be "that guy" that brings an older post back up to the top, but if I'm wanting to stay stock (I just got this phone, I've had several other Android phones in the past and I don't feel like messing around with custom ROMS anymore)... there's no way to make scrolling wallpapers work again?
I use ADW EX and if I use "Wallpaper Set and Save" from the market, I can get static wallpapers to scroll, but that doesn't help with live wallpapers.
This is irritating!

Flash the AIO mod and then flash other packages to make it stock again. I did that and now have scrollable wallpaper on my story k build. The only modification I have is crt off animation.

[Q] Blu Kuban FH13 rom wallpaper scrolling

I've searched his development thread and this forum but didn't find the answer. Maybe I'm missing something but how do I make it so my wallpaper scrolls from page to page? If I can't scroll is there a way to make the wallpaper fit to the screen instead of cropping to a small section of the image?

I'd like to know this as well. Do all TouchWiz based roms have scrolling removed? Is it possible to get back? Thanks!

Samsung removed it in tw due to crapples lawsuits. You can get it back by installing go launcher. I think some other launchers may also have it.

That sucks I figured.. Launcher Pro has it working as well but it is way to basic and Go Launcher is way to bloated. Thanks

I'm definitely feeling you in the go bloat. I used it a while back and liked it,but it gets too damn heavy after a while.

[LAUNCHER/APP/WIDGET] RAZR M 3D Circle Widgets [LAUNCHER/APP/WIDGET]

I am actually a Motorola Atrix 2 owner but have been using this launcher and widget for months now...really enjoy it and read that someone on an HTC 4G device was able to install it as well via CWM. Well my girl has an Incredible 2 and I decided to give it a whirl and whaddya know? It worked. Here's a DB link of mine of the zip: http://db.tt/PxWxjC79 Here's the thread where I got the download link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906402 Enjoy and I would advise a wipe of cache and davik cache as well before flashing the zip. Heres some attached screenshots. If anyone wants to or can make it anymore better or mod it up for the INC 2 device itself, feel free. Hope anyone enjoys it as much as I do!
P.S. If you flick the circles they flip to the other side. Clock being analog one side and digital the other. Weather you can add cities on and on and on...(as many cities as you want.) And the battery's opposite side is a settings icon for a quick setting short-cut. Also fogot to mention that the left side is first page on launcher. Far left is quick setting page and far right is where you can keep adding pages and what not. Preview allows you to swap up pages too. Couple side notes as well are scrolling wallpaper does not work with this launcher. The dock is like stock moto with app names showing without edit option. AND the weather may start out on C° reading so in settings youll have to change to F° if thats your preferrence. IMHO I love the widgets and its so worth it. They're really cool.

It's very cool.... I installed it, but found there to be quite a great deal of tearing and the dock is misaligned.. It's a nice launcher though with great home widgets. Makes me not mind trying a RAZR Maxx HD when I get an upgrade. Thanks for this peak. :thumbup:
