Ported Launchers that works on N7 2013 - Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps

I know some of you are against changing the stock/vanilla android look, but for those who have tried any launchers that have been ported from other devices like Samsung, LG, Sony...
Wich launcher (share links if possible) have worked on your device?
Share your screenshots with the launcher in use and necessary steps to look alike.
The only decent launcher that i've been able to find working is the LG G2 launcher
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580458
It looks ok, but the icons are way too small and the weather widget size (4x2) is smaller than home grid size (5x5) so it does not center.

The TouchWiz launcher from the S4 also works. The launcher will be very small, but it can be enlarged using X posed Framework + App settings.

I also installed touchwiz from the s4 but it looks tiny and i dont know how to fix it, i have exposed module and the app settings but still dont know how to fix it. I hope you can help me

Suggestion, posting screenshots with the launcher in use and necessary steps to look alike.
I used XPeria launcher but kinda lagged on transitions. Also tried MIUI launcher but crashes on 4.4.2. Other than that it's smooth, fluid and looks good

Absolutely! Here's what I did. These steps are for those who don't know about Xposed Framework as well.
1. Make sure that Xposed is installed (the framework, not just the apk), download App settings module from the Downloads section within the app. Go back to the modules section, and activate the checkbox for App Settings.
2. Reboot. (It is recommended that you reboot for the framework to be installed for the changes to take effect. While this is true, I reboot after my modules are downloaded/activated. If not, they would require a second reboot as well.)
3. Navigate to "TouchWiz home" in App Settings. Switch it from Off to On, and change the DPI value to a resolution that you find suitable, and hit save. I use 460 for this launcher, and various values for different apps that I find is a waste of screen real estate (like 280 for the Play Store, and most of the Google Apps).

Not that I actually want it...but this is Android. I have it just because I can.
P.S.: Can't add any widgets to it. Not sure why the permissions are wrong, but I didn't care to figure it out. I don't use it.

Gonna give the lg launcher a whirl... Is it functionably?

GO Launcher EX

So far I have been unimpressed by most of the launchers out there.
By far the best in my opinion for S2 is the free Go Launcher EX
I also have the go keyboard, go calendar and black icon theme installed.

Running on Orange UK stock but rooted
Very smooth in operation
Agreed. I am a paid Launcher Pro user since the Captivate but Go Ex has won me over for sure. VERY nice.
same here. i m using the same and i think its the best launcher out there. actually its a supremely modded version of touchwiz. i have more than 30 premium themes installed. but i think it drains the battery a lot. wat u think
Hey raze1000, please share your wallpaper. I really like it!
Wow! @raze1000, your customisations look really awesome!
Here ya go
Agree that this is the best launcher. I have paid launcher pro and ADW launcher but this sweeps the floor with both of them.
I really like Go Launcher too, but has anyone found a solution to the problem when you freeze apps with Titanium Backup, as it still shows the link in the app drawer albeit as a broken link and not the proper icon?
When you freeze in the stock launcher and other launchers it removes the icons.
Does anyone else have lag when sliding trough screens on this launcher please? I never had any lag on my old desire, and I have the exact same set up, such as widgets and amount of screens on both.

Just tried again. Does not matter which ROM or which version of Go Launcher (daily updates sometimes) whenever I freeze an app it leaves a dead link in the app drawer, even after resets or opening and closing the Launcher itself. You must have a different setting somewhere in the options maybe?
Just tried Go Launcher .. and my stand-by current went from 10mA to 70mA.

All u need to do is go into edit mode which is the mode used for moving apps around the app drawer! In order to go into edit mode, all you need to do is long-press any icon of any app in the app drawer. Then click on the small red cross of in the top right corner of the dead link and you will receive a notification that that this app cannot be found, and whether you would like to remove it from the app drawer. Simply click yes Done!

Would also known if somebody expect the same... Me using the launcher quite long, but if this should be true ...
WoW!
I like this clock widget! What is that? Is a Go Weather skin?
Thanks
I find the app drawer responsiveness to be better with Launcher Pro. I set it to fade in at the slowest value too, and it's smooth as anything.
The app drawer on Go Launcher EX seems choppy to draw and also tends to reload the icons on occasion. Also, the custom icons I use for the dock bar take a while to load on first boot whereas with Launcher Pro they're in place when the OS has loaded.
I only use Go Launcher EX because the widget resize option comes as standard where Launcher Pro must be paid for. I am using a 10 rows by 5 column desktop layout.

[APP][Launcher] ICS Trebuchet Launcher

This is just the vanilla launcher from 20120617 CM9 Nightly for Tenderloin (HP Touchpad). No features has been added (yet). Incase you don't know, Trebuchet is the name for the stock CM9 launcher. See screenshots below for differences:

There should be no dependencies.
However try integrating it into the firmware (it was designed to work from /system/app)- ICS does restrict launcher behaviour if it is not a system app (like for Apex- you can't put a widget from Drawer if it's a user app)

No, it is for all screen sizes (well, maybe except qvga but I didn't test this)
Like Trebuchet Concept, Looking Forward
Once I figured out how to use it, I kind of like the minimalist approach. Dragging app icons and widgets to the screens is much quicker than click, click, find, click, ... and the widget re-sizing dot feature touted in Jellybean is already there (but can be applied asymmetrically for some strange results).
However, this thing is still primitive. No properties except wallpapers.
I put on adw (former XDA launcher) just to have a more usable system. I do not look for fancy eye-candy like go. Just some simple properties like:
Grid density--I like fitting more icons on the page (I find the adw refitting not the best so leave that unchecked).
Along with this, might need the widget auto-refit idea from Jellybean.
Number of home screens (elementary).
Last but not least, a backup and restore.
Another interesting idea I got by accident in another launcher: superimpose icon over larger widget. When clicked, takes precedence, of course. Since screen real-estate, especially in smaller phones, is at a premium, this could be a "killer."
Two bugs I found:
Possible to place two icons in same place on app bar. Embarrassing.
Widgets did not "come back" after reboot sometimes.
Got a Nice Version!
There are multiple versions around for download, without any systematic way of choosing other than: The Biggest Has More Features Implemented. I found a 10 meg version in a flash-able zip that has most of what I wanted already there!
Still needs a backup and save, and important: way of resetting as the default launcher
The general widget re-sizing works great, even re-positioning to a halfway spot so the re-sizing makes sense. Great.
Minor bugs around:
The news and weather widget re-sizing works incorrectly. ADW does it fine.
Icon label text is cut off (at least on 5-row view). Vertical padding makes it worse. Needs be tucked in closer to the icon.
I might assume that a somewhat larger apk is around somewhere with more features and fixes. Once I can get it again as default launcher, I will play with it some more.
It did not passed on my 7 inch tablet :-( There is margins at the bottom and top with a height of regular icon size.

Maybe you misunderstood me. In fact the launcher has its settings.I can access it and I am using rasjellybean rom which is non cm based.
I just don't find as smooth as the stock one. Maybe it is just me. it would be great if you could improve it.

OK, I can't really improve the speed and this is really smooth, even almost smoother than the stock default android launcher on my Nexus, You can try this method if this speeds up the launcher a bit:
1. Delete Trebuchet launcher
2. Move Trebuchet.apk to /system/app/
3. Change permissions to rw- r-- r-- then press Trebuchet.apk and install it
4. Reboot.

Using this on gsm galaxy nexus running jbsorcery 4.5 with vicinos blue mint theme. I also get FC's when trying to access certain settings usually changing number of screens or dock pages. Otherwise it is clean and fast and most importantly has a small memory footprint.

I am using a maguro gnex and my current rom is Carbon 1.1 (JB 4.2.2).
Do you think it might be a rom problem?
I thought, as a workaround, maybe going to my

Per App DPI settings without Paranoid Android

Hey, guys! Firefox Beta is currently my browser of choice, but due to the DPI settings of our beloved Nexus 7, the app uses the Phone UI. Just look at it!
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, let's take a look at it's layout when it sees a proper tablet DPI.
Fabulous! Now let's figure out how we can achieve this...
First of all, we need to install a framework called Xposed. This handy app can modify your ROM without touching an APK or having to flash anything. If your interested, read more about it in its OP. Speaking of the OP, you'll be downloading the APK at the bottom under attachments
You'll find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Open the app and touch the 'Install/Update' button. It should install successfully and request that you reboot your device. Do so now.
Now, we need to grab the app that will allow us to change the DPI settings per app. The app will also allow you to deny permissions to apps, but that's not why we are here.
You'll find the app in the attachment section of the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072081
Install it and then open the previously installed Xposed Installer. Switch over to the Modules tab and checkmark the Xposed App Settings. Reboot.
Almost done!
After you've rebooted, open up the Xposed App Settings app. Scroll down to the app you would like to modify. In this case, we'll be changing Firefox Beta to tablet mode. Select Firefox Beta when you find it and enable it. Once enabled, you'll be greeted with the following screen:
Yours won't look exactly like that, but you'll need to make yours look like that also. Your DPI can be anything between 160 and 177. Once you've applied those, touch the wrench icon on the top right and force stop the app. go back to the app and touch the icon to the left of the |> icon. It'll ask you if you want to kill the application, do it again for good measure.
Success! Touch the |> icon to start the app and it should be laid out in all its tablet glory!
Bonus: You can also get the tablet, dual pane version of the Settings app by setting the resolution to 1000x1600 in Xposed App Settings.
In closing, take a look at some before and after pictures for some apps that don't have tablet lay outs by default.

As you can see, most of the text is squeezed together in an undesirable fashion. I switched it back. I also believe Pulse has a tablet layout, but I'm not sure.
If you know of any more apps that do this, let me know.
Tried and followed instruction,was able to change the UI but i think changing the dpi doest work thanks for sharing

Except it's no longer stock; you've modified the framework. Keep that in mind when you get an OTA.
So how do you know if xposed installed the files correctly does it auto reboot?

Good guide thanks. I already did this with chrome to make it work with a site I use.

Not sure I see how Firefox looks any better though. Looks horrible both ways. Truly a terrible browser imo. No redeeming features for me since I am not interested in flash.

Not sure I see how Firefox looks any better though. Looks horrible both ways. Truly a terrible browser imo. No redeeming features for me since I am not interested in flash.

I've since ditched the browser for Lightning Browser. Tablet may look the same, but the tab system feels much better in tablet mode.
Flash also works fine on Lightning Browser.
EDIT: OP updated with info for dual pane Settings app. Too lazy to check it? Well, it's simple. Select 1000x1600 resolution for the Settings app.

For me it's the other way around. I am on stock rom, by the way.
Gives me bootloops von my Nexus 7 3G with codefireX.
How to fix this?
Anyone try this with the Nexus 4?

(Above is basically a clean CM10 rom with dual pane in Settings)
Recently discovered after finding and using azoller's CM10.1 Fusion ROM for a day or two.
This method involves using Xposed Framework and basically requires installing 2 apks, then changing some settings for it to take effect.
NOTE: None of this will affect your notifications bar or navbar, it just changes resolutions/layouts, except you can make specific apps fullscreen if you want.
1. Install this apk (from the main thread), click Install/Update, and reboot.
2. Install this apk (a module/add on for dpi/resolution change) and reboot a second time.
3. Go into Xposed App Settings which is the 2nd app installed, and any app that has Screen (dp,px) set to 800x1200 will act as if it were a tablet app. This includes Settings, YouTube, anything that looks different with a tablet.
If any graphics are too big/small, you can change the DPI, but 160-190 is pretty good most of the time. It's pretty simple and mostly cool, and should work on just about any rom.
The attached screenshots show my settings for the Android Settings to have a dual pane and some examples of YouTube looking more expanded than usual.
Again, none of this is my doing, I just figured it out recently and thought a simple step by step would be nice for people who haven't tried it yet and/or aren't running stuff like AOKP and ParanoidAndroid (built in tablet UI roms).
thanks for your tutorial, it works.but we can't get a full working Tablet UI here. the status bar and notification are still on top even though I set the "Launcher" screen to 1280x800. also we need to set the app one by one in order to enable the tablet layout, there is no way to adjust the whole apps by a single setting.

Sorry, maybe I should've had a step 0 where it says to read the thread.
NOTE: None of this will affect your notifications bar or navbar, it just changes resolutions/layouts, except you can make specific apps fullscreen if you want.
It says that right above the instructions, none of my screenshots show a tablet UI, and I specifically talked about resolution and layout instead of the notification/navbar UI.
Hmmmm. Is the tablet UI just like it is on PA?

The screenshots show what it does, and it doesn't change the notifications/navbar. Just like I told the other guy, it's pointed out in the NOTE above the instructions, and my OP isn't even that long to begin with...
This is for people like me who like dual-pane mode and tablet-ized apps, but who also don't like the whole tablet UI on the bottom. It's basically a tablet layout with phablet notifications/navbar, like how ParanoidAndroid can do by itself in Phablet mode, but it works across most roms and that's the benefit really.
You're right. Really sorry, I missed to read that part.
BTW, when I used PA and I choose phone mode, I was able to make the layout of opera mini the same as it appears on my phone (the navigation buttons located in the bottom). Here, I tried to change the setting of opera mini, but the app layout didn't change at all. Is it possible to simulate the phone mode (layout) for opera mini using those software? I need this because it's more convenient to have the buttons on the bottom when we're in portrait mode.

First thanks to the op for pointing me in the right direction. With this app, i was finally able to get opera mini phone layout (navigation bar on the button) on nexus 7 running CM10.1
Under settings for opera mini, i just increased the dpi to 600 and resolution to 800x1280 and voila ?

Might be a stupid question but will this affect OTA's/manual install of updates??
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
So, uh, will this work with stock ROM? (not indexed/deodexed, etc.)
Thanks for sharing the specific resolution settings. It would be nice to keep DPI for large text, and just have dual pane fit like a tablet app

You can change the text size with xposed app settings. Its next to dpi
The xposed framework has been a lifesaver especially since paranoid android has been a buggy mess since it went vanilla aosp instead of cm based. AOKP plus xposed app settings is rock solid and stable.

Thanks so much for sharing this. Its exactly what I've been looking for.
