Been searching for a good launcher for my Archos 70. I tried both ADW and Launcher Pro plus. They both worked good for me. But then i found the Go Launcher it works very well for me,smooth and fast. And it has a built in task manager. It has no widgets
yes the go launcher is the bet right now.
I use it on my 70 and my desire.
I also talked to the developers and metioned so bugs and requested some features and by what the told me some cool things will come up in version 2
Just loaded this up. Being a LauncherPro user I was hoping for a lot and I got it. Best launcher I've played with thus far. Wish it had 7x7 grid support though. Extremely fast.
Try requesting it .maybe they will do that
Had a quick look at the feature list, a few screenshots and a video... What makes it better that LauncherPro? In some ways it looks like a iOS-ripoff and I really hate that (ie Samsung's TouchWiz UI...) I see no need for a task manager/killer.
Looking forward to the first launcher that's 100% made for tablets... Haven't found anything like that yet. Maybe when more people buy tablets, and when Honeycomb shows up in more detail.
Tried it on the archos 101 (firmware 2.0.71) but found it laggier than launcher pro and zeam.
Never tried to launcher before. Coming from launcher pro and now using zeam launcher. It lean, mean and extremely fast. Try it...
im using this launcher for 4 days, and i must say i love it, just uninstall launcher pro. This is so fast love the task manager in main menu. You have my support thanks a lot.
I've been trying to get this on my archos 101 and I can't get it from the market. It doesnt come up when I search for it. I can't get any launcher to come up for that matter.
You'll have to do the market fix.
Try the search for finding it then you will find a lot more Apps.
how do we go about doing the market fix??
i'm having the same problem with not seeing apps in the market
thanks
ADW EX
Anybody tried ADW EX yet?
It's basically a fancier version of the stock ADW, very smooth on my phone (Archos yet to arrive)
Grid up to 10x10 too...
Interested in seeing how this works on the Archos family.
I switched to adw ex. ATM go launcher has some annoying bugs, but I'll watch out for further updates.
I especially like the new mainscreen transition animations on adw ex., and without wallpaper scrolling the animations look smith and nice.
I used LauncherPro, but lack of grid support is annoying when you want to place widgets.. just shifted to Zeam launcher. it supports 7x7 grid and is quite smooth too..
but both have an issue when waking up or coming back to home screen from an app..the screen stays a bit towards the left due to archos buttons and returns to normal only after you swipe at it a little..
That is not a problem of the launcher but of the archos itself, because even the stock launcher has this issue

There's a thread over on ArchosFans that says if you make the first home screen or the next-to-last home screen (when using more than 3 screens) will fix that problem. Haven't tried it yet as I just read it and my tab is at home, but several say that it works in LP & Zeam.
I have been using Zeam launcher for the last 2 weeks, its very fast and feature packed, definately more stable on my 101 than LauncherPro (which runs well on my HTC Desire).
Give it a go.
cant post a link yet...sorry
Zea
Tried Go, ADW, LP & Zeam...love Zeam...
I tried several launchers on my Archos 101. Go launcher ex can only provide a 5x5 grid what makes it kind of useless for a ten inch screen. So i'm back at zeam as well. I'm still waiting at a launcher specifically for tablets.
Zeam is the daddy

guys how to set non scrolling wallpaper? and what resolution it should be for non scrolling wallpapers? cheers
Download Nova Launcher (look in the apps forum) which has this feature.
APEX Launcher has this feature too.
It is an app called Wallpaper Wizardrii, it may not work on all roms though
im currently running cm7 and was wondering if there was anyway of having more pages and how to change the main dock
You can get some changes by changing some settings in Menu>Settings>ADWlauncher
But I'll suggest getting another home application like GO Launcher EX which is much more customizable.
will that give me more pages and a sense like launcher with the curve
I'm using GO launcher EX and I can add as much pages as I want

the CM7 launcher has up2 7 pages that you can add and remove as necessary. Press "menu" on the home page then press "edit"
If you want to change the dock, there are a few styles in ADW Settings but search 'custom docks' in the forum search bar, there are loads of customizable options.
Launcher Pro Plus seems to be the best option (paid launcher pro)
I'm happy with ADW laucher.
plenty of launchers to use, choose the one you like and customize as needed.
Dear all,
I want to learn that how can I add or remove additional homescreen pages from Galaxy Nexus. There is no information about this even google. Before there was an icon for displaying all homescreen pages and you could add or remove new homepages.
Thanks,
What launcher are you using?
If the answer is stock you cannot add or remove pages.
you cant add or remove homescreens on the stock launcher
if you want to do that, you need to install a third-party launcher from the market
I have tried Nova launcher which works pretty well and is based off of the stock ICS launcher
I am using original firmware, not custom rom and it is pure ICS. What do you advice to me for modifying homescreen pages,
Regards,
Since you're bone stock you really only have the option of using another launcher i.e. nova, apex (they use the resources from and function just like the stock launcher with added options) or adw, go, lp+ and many others. If you end up on a deodexed rom then you have the option of editing the "stock" launcher yourself By reading this.
good day.
Thank you very much for your replies and advices, I installed Nova launcher and i can organize them now.
Thanks again.
How is Nova? I'm currently on adw ex and was eyeing the "tsf shell" does Nova live up to the test?

I do say that the best launcher with customization is Ofcourse Nova launcher.
Nova launcher beta version is now Google companion supported. It will soon roll out for Stable Nova version.
Nova vs System Launcher
[Nova launcher]✓
1-App drawer
2-Change Grid
3-change dimensions
4-Widget resizing overlapping.
5-Custom folder options
6-Backup and restore Configs
7-App drawer Configs
8-Desktop Configs
[System Launcher]✓
1- Lite weight Ram friendly
2-Clean UI
3-Minimal options
4-Supported with Themes
5-beautiful Setup
Some screenshots here with some themes.
Actually System Launcher takes more RAM than nova, both are good in their own features.
MIUI launcher also has live icons for Clock, Calendar and Weather app. Almost all the launchers have live Calendar option now but if I remember correctly, MIUI v6, v7 or maybe both also had seconds display along with hour and minute hands on the clock app icon. That looks pretty if you ask me
I've used Nova launcher before. It's nice. Lots of customization. However. I am using the default MIUI launcher now and I honestly don't miss Nova.
System Launcher
I am more stock admirer so nova hands down... I actually have only one page in nova and launching most apps with appdialer. I use launcher page mainly for some informational widgets and shortcuts
Nova all the way, light and well performing
Nova its customizable, you can turn off / Block screen with Double Tap. Also support 3rd party beauty icons. The bad Thing is some widgets like clock do not work properly.
MIUI stock its very good and support a lot of beautiful themes. Pretty widget and Wallpapers but you can put apps icons by alphabetic order.
smart launcher is way better than both of them, i really dont understand why it isnt more popular
No way default launcher of mi can beat nova...ecen stock Android launcher is better than mi home launcher...After buying a mi phone the first thing I did was to install Nova launcher.
And for the second choise use Buzz launcher
System launcher

I use this Lock widget in MIUI launcher on every screen, quite handy if you ask me.

pls share the link of the themes u have applied ?
I liked Nova Launcher but i like simplicity of Evie Launcher. It has double tap lock and supports different icon packs available on playstore. Give it a try. One more thing is its Free and Ad Free. Enjoy.
I like Nova launcher for the fact you can edit truncated app names, and scroll the dock plus other things. The ONE thing MIUI launcher has in its favor is the Quick Function Widget has a toggle that will turn Mobile data on and off directly without going thru the settings. Thats a big plus for me, but you cant edit app names, or scroll the dock Its a real shame that you cant directly toggle mobile data on and off with nova or power toggle, like you can do with Native MIUI launcher
