Lol, open apps from swiping left to right? Are we too lazy to click on icons now?

Sounds like he's trying to win a free Windows Phone or whatever MS is giving out

So you want to launch different applications (camera, google maps, etc) using left/right swipe gestures?
If I've understood you right, then you need to look for a fast launcher, not necessarily a fast ROM. In any case, I think the LiquidSmooth ROM has a slight edge over others:

And I like ADW Launcher Ex for its speed compared to Apex or Nova Launcher.

[Poll] Your solution for the "Rotate" topic

We all know that by default you can activate the rotation of the screen but the main desktop and the App Drawer won't do that. So in few words what's your solution?
Leave it as stock
Use the True Tablet UI Patch
Use a launcher
Use TTUI Patch + Launcher
ParanoidAndroid Rom
Really curious to know what you have done!

I use nova launcher.

+1 for Nova

Without changing the pixel density?

Holo Launcher seems to do the trick you are looking for. Matter of fact, most of the third party launchers would let you do landscape desktop and app drawer.

I use nova launcher , but if u want a stock launcher with rotation Modaco launcher it's a good choise!!!

Looking at these posts looks like no one used the "True Tablet UI Patch" or the stock launcher....

force_enable_rotation=true @local.prop
stock launcher.

yup. the thread title's "Rotate topic", not true tablet UI. for tablet UI, u change it the DPI to 160. but i dont like that. too small screen.
but yeah, this doesn't rotate the lock screen though. not that i can't swipe up/down instead of left/right.......

Actually the topic is "your solution for..." the rotate topic So checking answers looks like most of the people just use another laucher.
But the one you posted in few words is for what? I mean for the way I read your answer this doesn't make anything different than the "rotate" funcion in the notification bar. Or it also allows to rotate the main desktop and the app drawer?

Actually, the funny thing is I have added this mod. It doesn't rotate the time on the lock screen but you still swipe to the right to unlock ... (toward bottom if you were in portrait mode)...no dpi changes or any other mods needed. I'm on rooted, unlocked stock ROM.
What I really wanna know is where I can mod the home screen to scroll continuously...I haven't looked yet. I have the setting on my phone, but haven't played with the N7 enough to find it yet.

I use Apex. Paid for the Pro version of it, over Nova, since Apex offered... less features for the Pro version (in other words, Nova had a lot of stuff in Pro that was non-existent in the free, and I don't like feeling like I "have" to pay in order to use an app efficiently...)

I used launcher.force_enable_rotation=true inside a new local.prop file in /data. I always use portrait mode and a pin in the lock screen, so portrait only in lock screen is fine by me.
My biggest issue was when in landscape, if I went back into home I would have to rotate from landscape to portrait, then back into landscape and if I pressed a button by mistake again, back into portrait.
I tried the change build.prop dpi settings but didn't like tablet UI for this little thing..... and I don't want to squint.
Tried ultimate rotation control which works great, it also rotates the lockscreen, but costs something like £2 after a 7 trial vs what I use now.

So you paid for less features in general out of principal?
Or did Apex have more free features compared to Nova, and the Pro versions equalled things out on both sides?

Yes, sorry for not being clear. That tweak to local.prop is to rotate the main desktop and app drawer, just not the lock screen.
The GUI dpi change tweak it's for a complete tablet ui

another launcher (because the default one doesn't have enough features for my taste anyway)
I don't know why some of your options are listed, like paranoidandroid rom, wtf.

Most custom roms include a landscape launcher. This shouldn't be that complicated. The stock launcher simply doesn't do landscape without tweaks. If you run stock, just download Nova or Apex.
I run EOS and its built in tablet mode with Apex.

Yes, data usage monitor is inbuilt, but love the widgets and break down that this app gives, find it very informative.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I have used it. It is actually quite smooth and snappy but lacking very heavily in the features and customization department which isn't really a big deal to me because I am a basic user when it comes to launcher lol either way, it us a nice launcher for the BASIC user. If you are into customization and other things then definitely look the other way or utilize the 15 minute return policy.

It is OK. There are some things that def need fixing. Swiping to each home screen is way to sensitive. Adding icons to task bar is buggy... Icons disappear.

Been using it since 3/8, I'm a backer and they gave us access to the early beta. At first it was nice and now the release seems slooow for some reason. It's good but not great. I wouldn't suggest paying for it now and look elsewhere.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181840

It looks nice, very smooth... but it's still like beta on phones I had several force closes... You can't use wallpapers from your gallery, the widgets of the launcher itself are very limited.

The concept of the launcher is great! But the main problem that I have had with it is that it eats a lot of battery ( I guess it's because of the weather widget/GPS usage ). The launcher otherwise has some pretty nice features, such as seperate desktops and reminders to change them when you arrive at a particular point/time.
Great concept. But still needs some improvement, here and there.

Uh....yes you can . Just go into your gallery, select your wallpaper and "share" it with chameleon. Then go back to the browser and the wallpaper should be listed.

I tried it, but wasn't feeling it for the phone. Just didn't seem like there was enough screen space to make good use of the widgets. I didn't try it on my N7, but I'm sure it would look better on that. Also too, the weather was wrong and wouldn't update to the correct town I'm in. HD widgets has no problem with that.

Hey guys, i haven't seen a launcher thread, but everybody is using launchers
So let's discuss which launchers you use, and tell us why.
Say something about the costumization options, the performance and, if there is a big battery drain because of it, tell us that to
Also you can post your homescreens (but remember that there is a homescreen-thread too!)

Action launcher 3 here. Love it.

I always go back to Nova.

Apex Launcher. Fast. Smooth. Plenty of customization.

Unconventional but for me Lollipop Launcher wins because of it's small footprint (both size and memory).

for me is nova launcher also for my phone/tablet. fast (ish on galaxy tab 2 when switching from portait to landscape due to widgets) but tone of customization. also love the backup to drive option(good when playing with different roms). for my android box (cheap oem Chinese android box) i use action launcher. in my opinion is the best and fastest way to find an app of the app drawer on the left using mouse scroll. i wouldn't change it for anything else, except maybe something tv ready??? and light/smooth. if someone has any recommendation for tv box launchers i am very intersted to hear it

Nova launcher my favorite!
