well a launcher is an application which provides you with the user interface. It is the homescreens, the dock, the appdrawer and all the aesthetics related to them are defined by the launcher application.

I support ADW Launcher..the best one..
I tried almost 10 different launchers..but found ADW Launcher is best..

Snap review of certain launchers tested on SGA
Personally used all these launchers on the Galaxy Ace
GO Launcher EX
Definitely a very good launcher lot of customisations comes with a lot of other plugins and theme packs and companion widgets like GO Contacts, GO Weather etc. Works well on the SGA doesnt consume too much ram and very responsive and best part a lot of options which other home launchers charge for, it provides for free.
Regina 3D Launcher
As the name suggests 3D like the SPB Shell 3D but free...fairly recent app so still some bugs a bit laggy on the SGA works better if you have fair amount of free ram and not as many widget support as SPB Shell 3D. Needs other companion apps for weather support. Has lot of potential.
Slidescreen
Been around for some time, completely different launcher only single homescreen with all your notifications including Facebook, twitter, SMS, appearing on one page...not very customisable...can be used as a side launcher with another main launcher...tested on SGA...no issues with speed. In one word Simple...maybe too simple for some
Zeam Launcher
Last...and the smallest in file size...less than half an mb..but not least in functionality and speed...consumes very little ram and highly customisable...and even has gesture support built in...inspite of being such a small size...works like a charm on the SGA and looks good too...my personal favourite...does what its supposed to do launch with not making you wait for it.

personally i prefer too the zeam launcher.

Vertical scrolling launcher

I created some image tiles for my home screen; something similar to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However I'm trying to make it function more like the Android Market home screen, where you scroll vertically as opposed to horizontally.
I'm using Go Launcher EX and as far as I've gathered none of the launchers I've tried have the option to scroll vertically.
Does anyone know of any launchers that have that ability?

Nice!
When you manage to get that thing together i will test drive the hell out of it for you. Windows 7 themed launcher moves up and down. There may be others though so don't quote me on it

I tried Win 7 Launcher previously but you're only limited to tiles 1x1 or 1x2 & some of the tiles that come preconfigured are locked onto the screen (i.e you can't remove them).
Actually what I'm doing is nothing really more then creating tiles & placing them onto the screen. I wish though that I did know how to create a launcher, I'm just using a pre-existing one, though none have the vertical scrolling feature that I would like.

Can you decompile it make the necessary mods repack sign and test? I know I am making it sound easy. I know nothing of developing so I can be of much help.

You got me there bro as I don't know jack when it comes to Android programming/code.
I'm just your basic android user

Dude have you already found yourself a vertical scrolling launcher? I want exactly what you described. It would be AWSOME with desktop visualizer.
Please let me know

No luck as of yet. Hopefully one off the existing launchers will incorporate that function in the future

Request
Why not send out some request to the devs of some of the launchers I am sure someone can make it for you.

Good idea. I just shot the dev team of Go launcher Ex an email.

hey, that's pretty cool. Will you post a tutorial on how you set that up?

Did you try google? Just search vertical scrolling homescreen launcher and found this link here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkMFyldgb94

Well it is a vertical launcher but after messing with it for awhile it does not allow me to remove the preset icons (you can only remove ones you create) & if using tiles you cannot get them to align in such a manner that they touch end to end. I was hoping to use the launcher to create tiles of my own using Desktop Visualizer. This is what I have created using Go Launcher, just want the home screens to scroll vertically. My ultimate goal is to create a home screen that scrolls vertically & create something that looks very similar to the Android Market:

I have send an email to the golauncher developers too and vot one back. But i think it's just a standard reply so i don't expect any luck there
EL TEJANO i want exactly the same thing. I've spend so many hours on the Internet searching with no luck. It's getting frustrating. I really hope golauncher or any other good launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro can add this function

So this thread is dead now?

SS launcher in the market is what you seek...

Try lightning launcher in the market its a nice one for sometimes like this.

Apex Launcher from the market also has vertical scrolling, and the option to change the transparency of the black background in the app drawer, pretty cool

Lookin for app to lock icon positions on screens.

Hey, gang. I did several searched through the site but didn't find a solution. Let me toss this out there. I'm looking for an app with a particular function. What I want to do is "freeze" the locations of the icons/widgets on the screens. Something that will allow their use, but not their moving or deletion.
Here's the deal. My daughter loves my N7, and uses it for her ECSE and speech therapy classes with specific apps to facilitate her development. (She's ASD.) She's really good about the length of time she's on the tablet, and has never gone off and gotten into any trouble with it. The problem is that several of her apps have a "drag and drop on the red X" function to close particular segments or sections within the apps. They're similar enough to the "drag and drop onto the red X" function in the Droid UI that she gets confused, deletes the icons for the apps themselves, and then can't find them the next time she wants to use them.
While I can set up a second user with her name and the same development apps that she uses, it still won't stop her from losing icons from time to time.
I've looked into a number of parental control apps, and while they clamp things down, I haven't found one that locks or "freezes" the positions of the icons.
Does something like this even exist? Trolling through Google Play hasn't found anything specific. Device is stock 4.2.2, unlocked and rooted, if that makes any different in recommendations. Thanks, all. :fingers-crossed:

Have you tried something like Apex Launcher? You could set up the layout and then use the Lock Desktop option to prevent any changes to the home screens.

I think this is the easiest way to do this. You'll get the same functionality from Nova too and HOLO I think.

With SS Launcher you can move any icon to any position on the screen (no grid), rotate to any angle, resize and recolor, pretty much unlimited. Many examples in this thread. My Home (notice Flipboard and FUEL at an angle; also notice that Wifi Manager widget is "behind" Widgetsoid widgets at bottom so all are active):

Sorry to not get back sooner, got mired in a 65 hour week.
Cue forehead-slapping "doh!" image. I got my head fixated on an app, and completely forgot about alternate launchers. Brilliant suggestion, guys, many thanks. Can you run the lock functions over a stock layout? ASD kids do well with routine and familiarity, and it would help that she not have to relearn new of screen layouts. OTOH, I can always replicate the layout that I already have, too.
Thanks again, gang, the advice and recommendations are appreciated.

I know nova aill let you import the layout from other launchers not sure if apex does it too or not. But worth checking.

Is it version 4.3.1? I don't an update available in the Play Market

Not sure that I like it. Only 4.3.1 is in the Play Store, not the 4.5 update yet.
I liked the 4.3.1 because it shows me my categories on the left side. This just looks like the phone version and only has the sender/message preview. Lots of white space in landscape mode.

Fab thanks ! Installed from the dev site ,works well ,not sure on the Microsoftesq letters at the start of each person

With the advent of the new navigation drawer that can be swiped into view from any screen, a specific tablet version need not exist. This is incredibly clever design by Google. Not to mention the innovative "Swipe to refresh" animation.

Just an FYI everyone, if you are running a HALO enabled rom, you must disable HALO before trying to install this apk. HALO prevents the installation of 3rd party (apps not on the play store). You can re-enable it afterward.

Ok - I don't like it, but I can see your point.
However - have you found a way to not waste all the space recovered by not showing labels and actually display messages? On a Stock N7, I went from >14 messages visible, plus my quick labels selection to a display of <10 messages on the screen, and each message has less of a preview.
If the design is to maximize utility, I would expect to be able to do more, not see less and require more interactions to get anything done.

[APP] Multi Window Manager (Phone)

I just finished updating this for Kit Kat, so I figured I'd post it
It's your typical "enable multi-window for any app" app with a few extra bells and whistles for the donate version. I don't really like mods that enable every single app because it gets messy and lags the tray out pretty bad, so I made this to let you pick and choose which ones to enable. This is still a WIP, so feel free to give suggestions / bug reports.
Create shortcuts to launch 2 apps in windowed mode at the same time
Create shortcuts to launch any app in windowed mode...the point of this being that it allows you to use 3rd party side bar launchers such as GloveBox, SwipePad, etc. in place of the stock flashbar
Launch 2 instances of the same app...some apps don't work. most browsers don't (4.4 samsung browser does by default)
Backup/Restore your enabled apps list
Auto enable newly installed apps
Inverted (Black) flashbar theme
Remove icon labels from the flashbar
