Hi (EG4T?) community, I like to share possibility the best launcher out there, especially the features it has and the price point.... FREE. Solo Launcher basically has all the features of Apex and Nova Pro but it improves on some of them.

Thanks again for pointing this out, bro.
Can it handle large grid sizes like Nova (>10 x 10)? Also, wondering if you can overlap widgets, and have the option to have the dock as overlay. Those are must haves on my list. I couldn't tell from the vid.
Looks like I might have hijacked your posts. Let me know if you want me to move this and delete the original.

They openly take requests in the app reviews (or I think you can email the dev), but I don't think its in there for the most part.
As for the grid size....
Edit: they do have dock as overlay option, but they don't have overlapping widgets yet
Nice. With all the apps I buy, it'll be nice to see a free one do the job well.
Edit: Is that green, beveled border in the screenshot integrated in the launcher, or is that the glass mod from jellyverse? If the latter, that's a huge plus, as it does not work with Apex or Nova. If the former, then that's just frickin awesome.

Im looking for the SPB Shell 3d app, but im trying to get it for free. I tried a bunch of .apk files on 4Shared and all of them say "you have to purchase the app" is there a free working version of this app?
Thanks in advance.

That app is paid only. There is no free version.

Really? Damn that sucks lol. well thanks for the info.

You will find a lot of apk's saying its a cracked version, but they won't work for it. I bought it, but rarely ever use it. If it had more options to play with, then I probably would.
The concept of it is great BUT the UI design is just plain ugly. I would like to theme it myself though.
SPB Shell is cool in concept & design but for me at least, cumbersome in usability & lacking all around in user friendliness.
I use daily, but definitely lacking in options. Biggest so far is no option to increase number of rows and columns, and zero options for app drawer.

This! For anyone running there screen at a higher resolution a 4x4 grid just does not cut it.
Also, not being able to resize widgets, really? This app is $15!
Ok so most of you dont like spb.
Is there any other app out there, thats better than spb?

ssLauncher is definitely the most unique of the bunch. There is still one bug the developer is working on fixing and that is clock widgets are not updating. Besides that everything else had been pretty solid with it.
On ssLauncher, are you able to add effects like on GoLauncher?

There in effect that flips the pages like a magazine...The main thing with ssLauncher is that it gives you the ability to pretty much put anything, anywhere on the screen. If you want something more organized with a lot of screen transition animations, the other launchers would work better for you.

I'm trying to get the new Motorola photon q launcher to work on the epic touch running jelly bean. Everything seems to work just needs to be resized. Also the circle widget is really nice and would be great if someone can get it to work with other launchers. Here are the files and thank you in advance for helping on the development for this great launcher and widget.

What have you tried
I am interested in this as well. Have you pushed the app to yhour system/app directory and changed the permissions to match everything else in there?
They install fine. The only thing is when the widget comes on the launcher screen it says that you cannot use with third party launchers. I don't know how to edit the permissions of the widget itself

Talk to a really smart friend today and he was saying that it's in the code of the widget.

Took a look at the widget on the photon device and i must say it is pretty cool looking. You would have to attract the attention of whoever took time to port the clock and weather widget from the HTC devices.
Anyone, anyone?????? My wife is looking for this to add to her GS2
Search the Google play market for Rings Digital Weather Clock or One More Clock Free. The widgets o are looking for are in there
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=factory.widgets.bubbledigitalweatherclock here's a link for the widget. Looks pretty good

Tersus icon set. They are not glossy, there are lots of icons in the pack, they have nice backgrounds for apps that are not included in the pack. Definitely worth its price.
DCiconZ! Most beautiful icons I found so far. Best thing: they are free!

I'm using the gorgeous Sphere Theme icons free on the Play Store!
I've been switching between Circle White, Glasklart, and MNML White. Love them all and love the white look, but it really stands out when there's an app that doesn't have an icon yet. The colored icon sets do a much better job of hiding it. For color, so far I like Slate a lot, and I just downloaded Tersus to give it a try.

I though i would make this thread so that everyone can see what each other's favorite payed/free app is. Feel free to post screen shots and maybe an explanation of why its your favorite.
My favorite app at the moment is (Vonage) It allows me to call and text friends and family in the states for free as long as the app is installed on their phone.

Well, my top 3 fave apps (not in order):
ThumbKeyboard -
Have tried many other keyboards but this is my fave, brilliant response, ability to customise, brilliant auto correct and prediction.
App Cache Cleaner -
Fantastic cache cleaner app, all in one place and able to see what uses most cache and clear it easily.
3GWatchDog -
Yes, data usage monitor is inbuilt, but love the widgets and break down that this app gives, find it very informative.
I could have put Titanium Backup, but that's more an essential app rather than a fave one I use on a daily basis etc.

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!
