Hey everyone! I personally am always searching for the best stable smooth launchers around the web & i came up with this one, Its preety cool, smooth. Atom Launcher is a homescreen replacement app for your Android. Now, we’ve seen lots of launcher in the past, from excellent ones like ADW Launcher Ex, GO Launcher Ex and Apex Launcher, to expensive eye-candy like SPB Shell 3D and TSF Shell Pro. While we all have a much-loved favourite, now perhaps Atom Launcher should capture your attention. Available for devices running Android 4.0 and above, I personally think it would be how GO Launcher Ex would be if the GO Dev Team started again from scratch…
Firstly, it does the basic things. You can manage screens, change grid settings, page looping, auto rotation and adjust things like transition effects. There are up to five pages of scrollable dock, widgets and plenty of themes. It’s also incredibly smooth- certainly as slick and usable as any launcher I’ve tried. You can do things like edit icons and it supports both icon packs and the ability to interchange icons between themes, It comes with its own store which gives you access to many more themes to try out. The themes themselves are usually very integrated and features wallpapers, icons and more. It’s also worth searching the Google Play Store for compatible themes as many 3rd party developers are making their themes compatible for Atom Launcher too (including GO Launcher EX themes, of which there are seemingly thousands). Atom Launcher also comes with its own homescreen widgets which lies at the top of the screen (although it can be turned off). Currently you can choose between search bar and clock feature which also includes battery and date, calendar & notes. Below are some pics capture from my SG3 with the download links & some nice themes.
Calendar widget:

I've been using this launcher for a couple of weeks on both my GS3 and Nexus 7. While it is not going to satisfy those who use Nova, ADW, or Apex for the robustness of those launchers, others who are just looking for a clean and light launcher may do well with it.
There are some cool features within (most notably, for me anyway, is the way in which the launcher can display the app drawer), it isn't nearly as customizable as the other launchers mentioned earlier. Hopefully, the dev will keep improving it, and it may become more of a contender. However, for those who don't want or care about launcher micromanagement, this is a good option now.
Atom Luncher
I was using Nova before i found this launcher. since then i can not go back to nova, nova prime. somehow i cannt. even if i decide to use nova for a day or two, midway i switch back to atom launcher. its vector graphics seems pretty cool.
used Nova Prime before but once i switched to Apex never want to go back, the new Next Launcher very good too buch they cost too much.

Android is all about choice, and we can have touchwiz / sense or even motoblur even if we want to.... this is becos we CAN!
Cool! Was the best launcher! Will try to see how will work on GN! Tx for porting this!
Awesome work I really hope you continue working on this and maybe have someone cook up a theme. Ive been working on one but I have almost to time. Only things I have noticed is that I cannot set anything but screen number one as my home and it makes some of my wallpapers look bad. And if you change the wallpaper the launcher disappears. You have to switch to a different launcher change wallpaper then move back.
This is a nice launcher. Thanks a lot. I can't seem to resize the Widgets... maybe I did something wrong?
Nice work. Gonna bookmark this and give it a try with my next flash.

This is a themed qqlauncher... cannot port the launcher without Modding the framework because of XML ties as well as how deep Samsung has built their UI into android. Very much so like sense.
Aside from that, it looks aight. Like an non-translated miui launcher.

Eh. Looks sweet. Enough of the nah Sayers. If your not interested then why even open the thread?
Anyway, I'll try it. I like choices and launchers to exercise my boredom.
Looks really good. I just extracted the APK from the flash file and installed manually instead of flashing. Pretty neat and smooth transitions.
I don't know how customizable it is yet, which will determine if it stays. But it will probably make rotation.

As a former user of GSII I can confirm that this is a true tw launcher from leaked ics firmware . Looks great on 720p screen but to be honest it is not so smooth , I will definitely use this of it will somehow become smoother and faster in next realeses . However OP thanks ! Its not a fake guys , try it:thumbup:

Pretty cool to see something like this ported over even if it is not for everyone. Good job OP.
Now can someone start working on a port of the real iPhone launcher? Oh wait, I already have an app drawer...
This is great! I love diversity and this launcher. Transactions are smooth and doesn't lag my scrollable live wallpaper. Great job porting!

Sslauncher. Very different and allows you to setup the way you want. Everything can be edited / resized / moved.
Takes a while to get a hang of it but once you do it's hard and even cumbersome to use anything else.
There is no app draw. It's instead just a vertical scrolling page which I love. You can also add / remove pages as you like and all pages can scroll vertically as well, simply by pushing Widgets below the screen viewing area. I've added a Music page which does that.

I use Nova Launcher Prime. It's very good! I've set up a bunch of gestures so that opening Google Now is a piece of cake. :good:
The only downside I can really see is that I can't rearrange apps in my drawer. I can put them in folders and hide them, but everything's locked into alphabetical order.

Hmm.. This isn't bad so far at all to be honest. I was expecting a hacky thrown together unstable launcher but.. No.. This is actually quality.
My only complaint is dragging an app from one homescreen over to another homescreen is a pain in the ass. Especially if you have a bumper on the phone. It's nearly impossible without using the tip of your finger and even then with a bumper on the phone you practically have to push the bumper out of the way to get the app icon to roll over to the next homescreen

Usually I use nova launcher to get rid of the touch wiz launcher lag but still keep all the features.

Let me tell you about TouchWhiz...
(Counting the days until CyanogenMod goes live )
You can set Nova Prime to open any app with swiping up, down, with two fingers instead of one, etc. It has the 5 icon grid on the homescreens and the app drawer (6 if you want) and it works with Multi Window. The folders are better, the drawer customization is better, and it's themeable with just about any icon pack you can think of. The only thing that does not work for me are a couple widgets including the home weather widget but I don't use those anyway. I've had 3 Samsung devices in a row and have never used TW
I see zero reason not to stock with Nova. TW may be nice but the grid size limits are a no go.

Yeah this does. Touch wiz has gotten better but nova still has customization that can't be beat. I have set up the magazine app to open from swiping up and other than the couple touch wiz widgets don't work but I can live without that too . I agree Touch wiz rom and nova is the way to go. The experience is so amazing. This is the happiest I've been with a phone.

Usually I use nova launcher to get rid of the touch wiz launcher lag but still keep all the features. However this phone is such a beast and it so fast that I don't even feel the need to switch to nova launcher. And I do like the magazine swiping down from the bottom which you can do the tw launcher.
I like the touch wiz features I don't see why people would buy this device and prefer to go to stock roms.
What do you guys think about Touch wiz? It's really improved in my eyes.

So far I don't mind Touchwiz. I've been using the Galaxy Nexus with custom ROMs for the past 2 years now and I'm not sure if I'll do much more than root the Note 3. It has been working fine thus far for me.
I've been dealing with Twiz since the vibrant. I'm fine with it. What I'm. Not I can change. One thing that it's bothering me (as petty as it is). Is the. "S finder"... How they implemented it. You long press the menu button. To make it come up but so does Google now flashing in the background. Come on Samsung Google has ment things you out on they ROM... Why redo simmering that it's better than the way you did it?

Touchwiz has improved a bunch.
Touchwiz has improved a bunch since it the S2, and Note 2. I am running DARTHVADER ROM and it it's nice. The TMobile stock ROM was JUNK and laggy. I was very unimpressed with stock tmobile but after switching to DARTHVADER ROM my phone is what I thought the note 3 should feel like. I am coming from a note 2 with paranoid android on it. Needless to say I will be flashing the first AOSP that is released lol.
