With the TouchWiz UX launcher is there a way to remove infinite scrolling of the background? if so it would be very helpful if you could post a solution.
Unlikely
It's not possible to remove the infinite scrolling for touchwix launcher.
HOWEVER, you can try using Apex launcher. It's highly customizable and it's free.
A few of the functions includes "Drag-and-drop" folders, gestures, animation and theming.
Not trying to advertise Apex launcher or anything but this is one of the top-notch launcher for now.
Thanks I normally use apex

hey mate please please your awesome launcher just needs one small thing to be the best : swyping ...
i noticed that going from screen to screen needs a big swype, me comming from apex, used to a small swype to get to the next screen, so in ur UX i find my self, many times, stuck at a screen not going anywhere .......other than that its the best....
Do you have a link for the beta?

What's going on guys? Seeing as to how this phone is super fast and snappy, I thought I'd create the first "Themes and Apps" thread for the Razr M
Almost as soon as I got the phone, I downloaded and installed Go Launcher, Go sms, go calendar, go task, go note, and go switch because thats what I'm used to and those apps/widgets kick ass...
but I know that the "circles widget" is supposedly really cool and the stock launcher wasn't too bad...so I was wondering, what launchers are you guys having success/fun with? Go launcher runs super fast with all the animations and whatnot, so I can definitely imagine the other launchers probably run great too
Stock Moto Blur Jelly Bean launcher!!!

A lot of people are either running with apex or nova these days. IMO they're pretty similar except the fact that apex has gestures included for free (which is one of the main reasons people use it) while as nova does not have gestures included. IMO I thought Nova was a little snappier but that's just one guys opinion. I recently switched back to the stock launcher because I missed the circles widget. Plus I might upgrade to jellybean soon but I'm waiting because there was a couple articles online that said the official version might be released this week! Prolly not... but better to have hope than none at all lol.

I'm just addicted to themed icons, I think that's why I'm stuck on go launcher

Go launcher because of the themes also, but then went back to the stock because I also miss the circles widget.
I'm using Go Launcher also. Not really in love with the circle widgets, so that's no loss for me.
Personally, I'm not into themed icons at all. Or any theming for that matter. Prefer a stock (or close to) look. Using Nova Prime and the JB icon pack.

i know!! its so lame we cant use circles widget on 3rd party launchers.....itd be awesome if someone could create a hacked APK that if we sideloaded could let the widget be accessed by any app
+1 on hacked circle widget not a big fan of it personally, but good too have options
And I'm rooted on JB leak, debloated running blank all black lightning launcher with swipepad
Saves RAM saves battery works great no lock screen either
Nova Prime with JB leak. Pretty much installed that right away when I got the phone but I'm kind of curious to use the stock launcher, however I got Prime on sale and I love the gestures to add another 5 app launches from the dock.
I am using the razr m launcher in my inspire...

Hi,
I've just gone though the ROMS-CM 10 and Eclipse, but found that CM 10 has really bad speaker problems for incoming calls, which I could not, nor others users could not, work around. Although its the most interesting ROM and quite smooth, and allows for themes from Market. The Eclipse is very smooth and I think built better, but frankly boring. Neither of these allow for the Moto 3 rings, which I noticed nearly everyone in this string has missed or gone back to. Also, I'd hoped to be able to allow for the larger screen in a ROM, where the soft device tools at the bottom are eliminated (using changes in Build.Prop and the app: "Button Savior" as replacement-which is a fabulous app), and while CM 10 allows for their elimination, except for "menu" still the black area remains. Eclipse doesn't allow for this at all. Making the changes in Build.Prop works in CM 10 re: the screen but the speaker issue turned me away after awhile along with losing all notification alerts and signal strength meter.So back to stock moto and found that Nova launcher, with root, allows for, what seems, at least a %60 transparency on the bottom of the screen as well as the elimination of the top notification bar, but the alerts occur and incoming emails can be seen in the Lock screen-works well. So, I'm now back to stock w Nova, although the Moto 3 ring app cannot work on Nova.
Using Action Launcher. I love it.

Stock most of the time but occasionally Nova prime. If it weren't for the ugly Motorola icons I could probably live with the stock launcher all the time. One more clock widget free is certainly close enough to the circle widget to live with (except the text messages not showing up in it) on Nova and I enjoy the options of Nova but the stock launcher performs as good as any and is pretty close to stock android save the left most quick settings I could take or leave.

i know, i know, this has probably been asked a million times, but i'm directing this to S3 users here in our little corner of the world, please don't hate
i've been using the holo launcher hd pro now for some time and i truly love the way it works. its smooth, elegant, doesnt get in the way, and best off all, gives me an AOSP look and feel when running a non-AOSP rom. i also use the holo locker as well. i use this launcher on both my S3 and my Xoom tablet
it seems to me that the holo launcher doesnt get enough respect. i see many a custom rom that includes nova or apex, but not holo (or even adw or go launchers for that matter).
when i search for "launcher" on the play store the first five results are in order GO, ADW, Nova, Apex, and Launcher 7, with Nova Prime and Apex Pro 6th and 7th.
Holo is on the first page of results, but is second from the bottom. hardly respectable if you ask me. there are themes that show up higher in that search
anyway, so lets keep it civil and not bash on each others choice of launcher. i just want to get a feel for how popular these launchers are on the S3 or do you prefer the stock TouchWiz interface?
let your voice be heard and vote above!

why do you think that? launchers are apps.
My favorite one is the one that gets launched when i press the home button
I use nova prime because of the folders in the app drawer. Go launcher is too heavy.

I use the stock TouchWiz one, but when I root it I use LGUI3.0 It's so much better, and gives you alot more customization options than TouchWiz. I think TouchWiz is so bland...
I was surprised to see that the default launcher with CM10 doesn't have a back-up function. I switched back to ADW because I was familiar with it from CM7. I also missed the infinite scroll feature that's available in ADW (and some of the others).

have you tried holo launcher at all? i just did a test and it does use about 59mg of ram where as apex shows as cached and ready when you need it, so from that, it seems that apex is much lighter on resources, but i still really love holo, you should try it

I Don't thing this question is allowed to ask
as it could start a fight
"The Best" depends upon what you likes & what you want
plz don't ask questions which starts with Best
I don't know may be you could ask some thing like "Whats your Favorite Launcher for S3?"

As was said before, don't ask for whats best as what someone else says is best you may hate. As an example, I use apex launcher and love it, but that does not mean its the best. Only thing to do is try them till you find one you like.

I really like Next Launcher. Try it!
Action Launcher is my favorite. It has a few never seen before features as Covers (an app folder in which tapping the first app in it opens the app, a swipe opens the folder) and Shutters (swiping up an app shortcut displays a widget). The devs give great support. Albeit it does have some stability issues now and then, I can't go back to any other launcher

I always liked Go Launcher and Nova Launcher, but then again it's a personal preference. There are some new interesting launchers though
If you are looking for the best ways to theme but still want the smoothness of tw launcher then you dont need a custom launcher. You can get away with installing Xposed framework then xposed theme engine. ( both found in the apps and themes section )
Then simply download your favourite theme or icon pack and install them through xposed theme engine and away you go mate.

I actually like the Atom launcher, and it runs smoothly on my S3. I'll just echo what the others said regarding personal preference. )
I used to have Nova Launcher all the time because of a certain theme from mycolorscreen. but now I use Smart Launcher. it categorizes all apps and I don't have to think about where to put all the app icons anymore
edit: also most launchers mess up the look of the homescreens when switching from portrait to landscape mode. smart launcher looks even better in landscape mode

once i got my hands on the s3 (my first smartphone yes) i used the stock launcher for a while but then got sucked into the world of theming and modifying the android platform. it started innocent with the go launcher series. got pretty sick of that fast as it drained my battery with the insane amount of addons for it that all keep the phone awake or something. then moved to nova but that couldnt 100% satisfy me then went to apex for a long time. last week i made a jump and started to try tsf shell (if you are willing to pull out a few bucks). cant really say wich is the best just personal preferences. each telephone has their own personality as it is a extension of you.
I prefer Action Launcher over other launchers. The app drawer and the shutters (swipe over an shorcut to open a widget) won me.
Nova Launcher
When looking for a launcher I always looked for the ones with the less RAM usage and as most of you have mentioned NOVA Launcher has the best performance on less RAM as well it is highly customizable making it perfect for a daily driver on my S3.:good:
Holo Launcher HD, good Performance and many options.

This phone is a beast! And it has many features that other phones lack. So, a particular launcher for one phone might not be best for our phone.
So, which is it? Which one are you using?
(in no particular order)
GO
Nova
Apex
ADW
Smart
Action
NEXT
None
Unsure
Other: please list which one...
If you have a strong feeling for or against one or more, please tell why. And yes, I have read that one of those named above is possibly a spyware program for a non-US entity.
I have used NEXT, Apex and Nova but I keep going back to the stock launcher. Not a ton of extra features but has always been nice and snappy for me.
I like Nova. It's smooth and has great features. It's lacking in the scrolling effects though.
