[Q] Android Launchers With Innovative features - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm looking around for an Android launcher with a really innovative, good looking and yet simple android launcher. The closest I've come is Aviate. Any thing else on your mind? Please point out!

you can try Buzz launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206094

Done that.... Still on the old grid system with practically no new extremely innovative features

I love Action Launcher.
It has shutters which is awesome, and the app drawer is on the side.

[Q] App drawer scrolling on touch wiz

Hi All!
I really love the new TouchWiz but one thing that is annoying is the scrolling on app drawer. it to much iphone and not so comfortable.
so I wonder, is there a way to change the app drawer so it will be scrolling down and has 3D like the stock android/adw?
Thank You!
Switching to an alternative launcher like ADW Launcher EX is probably the easiest solution.
Try the "Nexus"-preset & "Vertical new" for the app drawer!
I think you didn't understood me properly(or maybe I didn't explain myself clear):
I really like what samsung did with the TouchWiz 4. So I want to keep it.
I want just to change the AppDrawer to be vertical scrolling(prefer with 3d).
Is theres a way to do that?
Im used to app drawers with the apps sorted in alfabetic order.
Is there an easy way of doing this in TW4?

In the app drawer, hit menu and then 'List view'. A reboot will default to the original.
No 3d I'm afraid.

This is mine :

Will post mine a bit later, one thing we should do is when we post them, also name the widgets and settings we did to accomplish them (that way other people can use some of the elements)

MIUI Evolution Reload Clock
Minimalistic Text

just a quick reminder here guys before it goes out of hand
no warez in XDA
only legit links to legit market places, like Android Market, Amazon Market, Getjar, and... errh... forgot the name of that other one that looks really dodgy but is legit

I also prefer Swipepad over wave launcher. I really wanted to like wave launcher, but it kept getting in the way of other actions, like the dockbar shortcuts and sliding the notification bar back up.
Is there a way to change from where it launches, like you can with Swipepad? I couldn't find the option.

Nova Launcher vs Apex Launcher

For those of you who have tried both, which one is faster, smoother and more responsive?
Nova seems to be the fastest if you change the scroll and animation speed but unlike Nova, Apex offers some basic swipe gestures without needing to pay for the pro version.

Thanks. I'm willing to shell out $4 for the pro version of either launcher.

Thanks. Btw, if you install a 3rd party launcher, do you lose the "Motion" functions in Touchwiz and the swipe to text or call in contacts?

No... If I am guessing we are thinking same features... Nova prime is really good stuff. You can change theme colors and has tons of swipe features....

Anyone know how to get the stock TouchWiz clock with weather back with Nova?
deleted
the latest nova beta is based off the jellybean launcher and is fantastic. on cm10, it's absolutely the fastest and most fluid launcher i've ever used. i bought the pro version and have not regretted it. there are more gesture options than Apex the last time i checked.
i've had both and i find nova to be smoother than apex. too bad i paid for the pro version of apex which i loved on the GS2.
This may have been answered elsewhere, so I apologize if it has.
Do y'all know if icon packs for Apex (specifically the flat icon pack) work in Nova? I'm willing to hand over the $1 for an icon pack, but only if I know it will work with my launcher.

Icons made specifically for Apex won't work...such as the flat icons by mitchs.co
I know this because I have the same set. The only option is to get the ADW or Go Theme set but those aren't as up to date like the Apex one

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I'll just buy the .zip straight from mitchs.
Gonna have to side with Apex. Best launcher available.

Also, Nova supports icon packs from multiple launchers. I've had zero problems with Lustre.
Nova.... You can theme it too.

Google Android Development Progress?

Just curious why no one at google has ever made the decision to make widget and shortcut placement more dynamic. Meaning,you cant place even a tiny widget right where you want it,it will snap to whatever grid is closest to it instead of where you actually want it. And same goes for shortcuts. And back on widgets... well they look weird in some instances when resizing,etc. They are not dynamic. They reorient oddly when switching from portrait to landscape. With all of the android releases you would think they would spend at least a little time on this.
Its the launcher. Not Android.
Try next launcher, you van place it where ever you want it too
