Default Froyo Launcher?

Any chance to get the default Froyo launcher for our phone? I really don't like ADW that much but use it as it's the best option but would love to have the standard one.

Have you tried launcher pro?

Yea but I don't line the 4 icon dock at the bottom.
I like the simplicity of ADW/default but ADW eats up alot of resources.

Is this from the 2.1 or 2.2 Nexus build?
Thanks
[edit]I just pulled one off a Nexus one 2.2 build and it works fine, uploading it here incase anyone else wants it. Thanks for the tip.

Seems to work ok, except for the telephone button. Any way to change that?

could you post a pic of how that launcher looks?

Almost like LauncherPro when it's default, except for only 3 buttons and then dots on the side saying what page you're on.

can we install the launcher from decepticon on 2.1?

you should paste it into /system/app that works mine is from the n1 froyo build, too

Dumb question - I assume you have to be rooted to use this?

can some one snap a piture?
i still like LauncherPro better, so far no other launcher has been able to beat it yet on usefulness and looks and simplicity and effectiveness and... well the list goes on and on

In launcher pro you can set the dock shortcut to blank. That way you can keep as many dock shortcuts as you like. Mine has 5 so if you set the left and right ones to blank you can have 3 in the middle. Then simply change the shortcut functions to whatever you want them to be. It works for me

is this launcher also usable on eclair 2.1, i've tried both versions posted in this forum and put them into /system/app but it doesn't seem to work, when i press the home button the default tw launcher launches

additional apps on lockscreen/google now

Hi,
is it possible to add apps on the lockscreen or the google now menu that appears when you swipe from the middle of the screen?
i used a lockscreen app on my Arc S, but if there is a way to do this without an additional app, plz let me know
thx!

There's an app called Launch Now. You can select up to seven apps to choose from. You still slide up like you would for google now but a menu just pops up instead. It's only $1 and totally worth it

thanks, i know that there are apps put there that can do this, but i would prefer a way that doesnt need an additional app.
i saw something like that in a review, and i thought it was a feature of jellybean, but i guess it was some touchwizz/sense kinda 3rd party launcher app

The major ROMs have this feature. It's called Navbar Targets I believe. I know that AOKP has it, and I think CyanogenMod does too. Other such as CNA do as well. I'm sure that these ROMs will be ported to the Nexus 4 very soon. You configure these targets via settings, so you don't need another app.

[MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! NOW MORE BUTTONS!!!

Hello, I created this 2 apps to add copy and paste buttons to the nabvar...
What this app does is to simulate a keypress from a service when button is pressed....
Concretely sends KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN for CTRL_LEFT(holds that key pressed), then injects C or V KeyCode event and finally it sends KeyEvent.ACTION_UP for CTRL key(releases that key).
However, not all apps are compatible with CTRL key, so this wont work properly with these apps
This app has been tried on Xylon ROM but also it SHOULD work on AOKP and derivates.
**THIS APP DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT**
Install like a normal APK
COPY: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kinq13mljdzl9ho/NavbarCopy_signed.apk
PASTE: https://www.dropbox.com/s/clxj83sqg76lkof/NavbarPaste_signed.apk
-----------------------------------------------------------
MORE FUNCTIONS ADDED!!!
To use this app you must sign with system signature, which can be find in its repositories
http://db.tt/KD07RwYy
Here is the source code!
http://db.tt/d10qEVO9

so will it work on non root stock rom?

Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
No, it doesn't work for non rooted. It installs and goes to widgets and put it on the screen and it says not installed when clicked. Plus, non rooted wouldn't be able to add those to the launcher. MAYBE 3rd party but I don't wanna do all that..

I am rooted, but i have the same error... I dont know why, but it only works with in the navbar... however it doesnt make sense to put them in the launcher...
I guess that appears that errors because I dont created an acctivity that extend AppwlWidgetProvider

Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
That's what I meant, the navbar. Not launcher.. But I don't know how to make it work.

You can see in screenshots, go to settings > UI settings > navbar settings (Depends on your rom) and add new icon> custom application... it should appear there

Hi.
Can you make similar buttons but with different functions?
I would like to hide navbar and use aokp pie instead but I need few buttons.
Menu
Back
Home
Recent apps
And if this is possible - forward buttons (for Internet browser)

Sorry, i am a bitb busy for now with other projects(see my signature), but i will see if i can...
Maybe i will do it in the next hours, i am at the gym right now

Well its done... It can emulate back home menu search play/pause skip track power button and camera button

This is looking really cool. I love aokp nav bar mods and this seems quite similar.
Is there a function in there for "last app"? That's probably my favorite thing to have on the nav bar.

I have that already with my Rom. I just thought it would be good to have this for those roms that do not in case I want to switch.

Thanks for trying but buttons doesn't work.
Every time I press added button I'm getting message "unfortunately app stopped"

It said in op... You must sign apk with system signature and install as system app... There are some tutorials out there

Yep
My bad
Tried to find some info hot to sign this app as system app but can't find simple way.
What kind of files do you need to make this app working in AOKP by bigxie?

For example, for xylon rom you have to use these platform.pk8 and platform.x509.pk8... You get them here

To sign you can use a program called "apk signer" (i think)

Wat does Tablet UI mean?

Tablet UI refers to Tablet User Interface, before JB 4.2 the UI for tablets did not have a notification status bar area on top, everything was at the bottom of the screen, NAV keys to the left and notification area to the right, Google decided to get rid of it with the release of JB 4.2 but some people prefer the Tablet UI over the Phablet UI which is the one we have now.
Hope it helps..

Tablet UI was never meant for phones hence "Tablet UI" term, Google is your friend, just Google Tablet UI and have a good read, you can also select images and have an idea what it looks like.

SPB 3D Shell Table Mode/UI

FYI, I currently am using SPB Shell, which has a table mode/UI, which I like, since it virtually doubles the amount of Application Icons on the screen. To change to table mode you (also shown in www.feelc.org/SPB3DShellTabletMode.pps) ...
1. Load SPB 3D Shell ... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spb.shell3d
2. Touch "Center screen button", which is at the bottom center of the screen
3. Touch the settings button on the screen that looks like a gear and is at the bottom left of the screen.
4. Select Experimental Settings
5. Change Interface Mode from Smart Phone to Table mode
Here's a video of SPB Sheel that may prove helpful ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxDc_Vz1SC0
I've tried a number of launchers over the years and currently this is my favorite. I started using it with my Note I717 with CM Rom and now it's running on my 980.
I sincerely hope this helps.

thanks. i think i understand now. a tablet ui basically is a ui for tablets but can be used on a phone to give it more options and a tablet like feel.
u said that u got shell 3d. dont u think some items in the ui may be too small to see even on a 980?

Good Lock Task Changer Substitute?

With the introduction of Android 11, Task Changer no longer functions. I despise Android's native iOS-style task switcher. If I wanted my phone to function like an iPhone with iOS gesture garbage and UI copycats I would have bought an iPhone. It's especially annoying when I open the switcher to swipe away the current app only to realize it automatically scrolled to an app beside it and I've instead swiped away the app I wanted to switch to instead closing the current one. Not only does this do the exact opposite of what I wanted, it makes things even worse because I now have to reopen the app I wanted to switch to. Depending on what that is, text fields, progress, etc can be lost and require several minutes to restore. Blah blah you get the picture. It sucks. Many people must agree with me or Task Changer wouldn't exist as a first party app, let alone at all.
Tl;dr and the actual question, Is there anything out there that can be used to substitute the functions of Good Lock's Task Changer until Samsung updates it to work with the latest software? I've looked but I haven't been able to find anything. In addition to this question I've noticed that the navigation gestures don't work at all 70% of the time and require the gesture hint lines to be enabled in order for them to work reliably. Is this related to Good Lock not being updated which would otherwise smooth that out, or is it a general software bug? I only ask because I've had Good Lock's Task Changer active ever since the S8+ Pie update, which was two phones ago, so I've avoided the stock task switcher like the plague until now.

Wait a bit as Samsung should update it soon.
Any more I don't update any OS I like and if I do it's only after lots of positive feedback exists.
Still happily running Pie and W7X64, lol.

I used to rock the same boat. I have no idea why I strayed from that methodology this one time but I regret it. Maybe it was the notification history feature, but that's definitely not worth it considering a lot of things are now broken. Honestly with everything that's wrong with it it feels like I was given a beta version of the OS someone marked as stable only because it doesn't kernel panic. Not being able to reliably use the iOS-style navigation gestures that were forced upon me is a pretty big deal. You'd think people testing the software would realize that the single most used - and arguably most important - thing in the OS (back, home, and task switcher swipe-up gesture) doesn't work properly.

Android has the Windows Syndrome bad... mixed in with the Apple Swine Flu
Try One Handed Operation+, lol if it loads the new OS that is. It's gestures are reliable.
Low battery, resources use and rock solid stable.

I'm also very frustrated.

When bringing up the app switcher there is no longer an "apps" button that pops up a list of my installed app icons which I can then long press on and drag to open them in split screen, pop up view, or just open them regularly. It's just a blank screen now with only the apps I have open on it. Was that a feature of Good Lock's Task Changer too? I absolutely need that back. Multitasking is a nightmare and a half without it.

No, that was a feature of the normal app switcher. I personally don't like the goodlock one. I'm glad I'm on an S10 and still get options lol.

I couldn't agree more with OP. I get that some people want this unproductive annoying deck of card recent apps design, but why on earth isn't there more layouts to choose from in the settings somewhere. I've usually used custom ROMs, and most of them had these settings (I mostly used slim recents and I loved it), but not recently due to some apps' aggressive anti root, anti custom rom policies like banking apps, f***Ing snapchat, etc. I was so happy when I found out about Nice Lock, but then Sammy nagged about updating and I did it to my not-so-big surprise it messed up everything. Sorry I have no good answer here, just had to agree and ventilate.

Seems like a error "fix" to task changer.
I downloaded Home up, from apkmirror website Saw 2 x versions available, with today's date.
Installed second update (Version: 2.0.01.11 (200100011)... as it stated there was a fix for Task changer that was force closing.
Big disappointment, as there is only really 2 new options. The normal list one, and the extra ones
Grid and Stack.
Good luck.

Try the updated version up Home Version: 2.0.01.11 (200100011)
Should work now as the updated version fixes Task changer that was force closing.

Just downloaded it. What happened to all the choices? There's only 3 now. I had liked the grid view where I can swipe up and down. Now I can only swipe right.

After sideloading the .11 update it still tells me to install the One UI Home Market update. So Home Up's Task Changer isn't working either.

This worked, but as someone pointed out earlier there are only three options for the task changer which don't even change the layout at all. Unfortunately this isn't useful, as it only moves the recent apps closer together or shrinks them. For now I guess it's back to waiting for the task changer app itself to be updated.
