Being a user coming over from the Sprint Epic 4g Touch. My question is that I remember it was something called Sprint ID, which would let you change the launcher on the phone.
My question is this, in using this phone I have noticed that this is no longer an option. Does that mean it's not available for this phone? Also aside from Nova Launcher in the App Store, does anyone else recommend a different launcher for this phone?

I like Apex.
There are quite a few launchers out there... Apex, Nova, Go Launcher and Launcher Pro, to name some good ones.
Personally, I use Nova Launcher Prime because I like their available options and they seem to do the best job at seemlessly integrating the bubble notifications on icons like phone, email, gmail, voicemail(Google) that I like.
I like apex as well.. Been using it for a long time now and haven't changed or looked back

@ Everyone. Thanks people, I'm gonna going to the app store and check those out. Hopefully something cool comes out of it .
@ MiguelHogue I asked you in another thread (but figured I'd ask again here), are you coming over from the Epic 4g Touch forums?

I use Nova Launcher Prime since I got it from the Google Aniversary 25 cents sale, and I like it alot so far, I used to use Launcher Pro but it hasn't been updated in forever, but it's still a really good launcher as well.

Thanks NYboy, do you know if they're going to have any more 25 cents specials in the near future. I took advantage of that special man they had a few months ago, and I did get some pretty good apps for 25 cents and I'm really pleased with them.

Well for me it was always a case of as soon as an update comes out, well it wipes out that black theme, and I see more apps having theme options in the future.
Bonsai uses Zeam as the default launcher and the blacked out apps are usually a theme choice.

Hi guys,
i was wondering if its possible to flash my galaxy nexus to samsung galaxy s2 rom.
what i want is the exact gs2 rom(same launcher,contacts etc. but the official gs2 software) on my nexus device.
is there a way to do that? maybe with odin , to flash the nexus with sg2 kernel and rom ?
please help
Now now lets play nice, simpley telling the guy he needs a touch wiz rom or theme would be plenty, I think I saw a couple of these around in the dev area and theme areas. Touchwiz is the keyword as that's the style your after.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I really cannot understand such requests, if I really want touchwiz then i would sell my nexus and buy a GS2 or wait for GS3.
I am coming from an sgs, on the sgs the first thing I did was rooting, flashing cwm and then flashed a rom, after that I installed launcher pro to get rid of touchwiz, later I switched to cm7.
Now finally I have a nexus and for sure I will never go back to bloatware loaded device, my next device will be again a nexus.
Who in their right mind would want TouchWiz instead of a beautiful stock Android 4 experience?

Your absolutely right and its part of the fun of android all the freedom you get to do pretty much what ever you want. My view on miui is the same, I'm not a fan but its cool to have the option.

There's devs working on a few ports already, very early progress tho. I'm sure there's going to be more ports from others down the road. You can follow the progress here....

Android is all about options. It's a open source operating system people can do whatever they want. It's not like if a developer wants to invest his or her time into porting touchwiz would ruin your day.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
While I think options are good for Android I have to agree about why would you get a Galaxy Nexus if you want TouchWiz? I say this because its very similar spec wise to the SGS2 and I'm sure the SGS3 will blow it out of the water. Unless you are just using it until the SGS3 comes out. Either way there is no need to call this guy/girl names because Android is all about options.
first I wanna clear things out, he didn't ask for just touchwiz launcher, he asked for a full gs2 rom, its a different story if he asked just for the launcher, that's the reason why I said he should better get a gs2 or wait for gs3.
I saw some other threads in other areas but I wanted to let you guys here know too. I just got it and downloaded it for my wife too. :good:
Next Launcher 3D is one of the more highly priced 3rd party launchers for Android, but with today’s little trick, you can get the $16 powerhouse for free. The launcher features crazy 3D effects, turning any device you own into a futuristic Tron-centric trip. With additional themes and custom widgets downloadable from Google Play, it’s an extensive and extremely comprehensive option for someone looking to spice up their device.
To grab the full edition of the launcher, follow these instructions pulled from Slick Deals.
First install the ”lite” version from Google Play, then once you have it installed and running as your current launcher, go into the Menu (the furthest right icon in the dock, 3 vertical dots) and go into Preferences. Go into “About the Full Version”, then choose “Activate” button (it may appear grayed out but just press it) and enter: “nextlauncher3d” as the account and “appoftheday” as the code. Enjoy.
It’s that simple!

As far as I know, yes. I checked in the Play store after I activated it to see if the full version said "Purchased" but it doesn't . I don't see why backing up and restoring wouldn't work unless they update it later to remove activation.
Worked perfectly.... Thanks

You mean that this free offer only works if you don't update Next Launcher 3D?
I purchased my Next Launcher about 2 months ago and I just checked and there
is no update of it today in the play store.
The last update at the play store was June 7th. which was v1.35
If you would have made a titanium backup of Next Launcher 3D you could have restored
the full version you had and just kept the same version until or if you decided to pay for it.

I did happen to make a TB as I've been flashing a bunch of different roms the last 2 days, and also didn't get to play around with it that much as a result, but....
Quite honestly, I despise companies like this. They offered a free promo to get people to download it. The way it "SHOULD" work, is those people tell their friends how good it is & they make their $$ by all the word of mouth advertising. Apparently they got a larger download than anticipated (which should be good), but their only and OBVIOUS intention was to TRICK people into downloading it. Setting it all up & spending quite some time with it, and then intentionally breaking it with the hopes that even 10% of the people buy the app now at full price! Horrible. I not only wouldn't give them a penny for their launcher, let alone if they develop any other software I'll be sure to stay away.
On a side note.... People should check out everything.me launcher. Brand new in beta & FREE. Very cool concept & different.

Being that the launcher is still in beta it really does an excellent job in what is was intended for. LOL
