I recently got a new phone (XZ premium) and I've been missing the launcher of the fire phone, i can't figure out how to get the launcher so i thought i would ask here.
Thank you to everyone who helps!
Your new phone will be not compatible with old kitkt launcher. Amazon has lots of packages that depend on some other packages, so you would have to copy most of them to your new phone in order to work. I miss my fire phone launcher as well it was just simple and neat, but you can recreate this launcher behaviour with some third party launcher from play store. The good examples are light launch or kwlp lock screen. Also Nova launcher is good to keep all your apps organised and keeping stock android feel.
I personally like Nova Launcher. I splurged for the Prime version. Worth every cent!

Been searching for a good launcher for my Archos 70. I tried both ADW and Launcher Pro plus. They both worked good for me. But then i found the Go Launcher it works very well for me,smooth and fast. And it has a built in task manager. It has no widgets
yes the go launcher is the bet right now.
I use it on my 70 and my desire.
I also talked to the developers and metioned so bugs and requested some features and by what the told me some cool things will come up in version 2
Just loaded this up. Being a LauncherPro user I was hoping for a lot and I got it. Best launcher I've played with thus far. Wish it had 7x7 grid support though. Extremely fast.
Try requesting it .maybe they will do that
Had a quick look at the feature list, a few screenshots and a video... What makes it better that LauncherPro? In some ways it looks like a iOS-ripoff and I really hate that (ie Samsung's TouchWiz UI...) I see no need for a task manager/killer.
Looking forward to the first launcher that's 100% made for tablets... Haven't found anything like that yet. Maybe when more people buy tablets, and when Honeycomb shows up in more detail.
Tried it on the archos 101 (firmware 2.0.71) but found it laggier than launcher pro and zeam.
Never tried to launcher before. Coming from launcher pro and now using zeam launcher. It lean, mean and extremely fast. Try it...
im using this launcher for 4 days, and i must say i love it, just uninstall launcher pro. This is so fast love the task manager in main menu. You have my support thanks a lot.
I've been trying to get this on my archos 101 and I can't get it from the market. It doesnt come up when I search for it. I can't get any launcher to come up for that matter.
You'll have to do the market fix.
Try the search for finding it then you will find a lot more Apps.
how do we go about doing the market fix??
i'm having the same problem with not seeing apps in the market
thanks
ADW EX
Anybody tried ADW EX yet?
It's basically a fancier version of the stock ADW, very smooth on my phone (Archos yet to arrive)
Grid up to 10x10 too...
Interested in seeing how this works on the Archos family.
I switched to adw ex. ATM go launcher has some annoying bugs, but I'll watch out for further updates.
I especially like the new mainscreen transition animations on adw ex., and without wallpaper scrolling the animations look smith and nice.
I used LauncherPro, but lack of grid support is annoying when you want to place widgets.. just shifted to Zeam launcher. it supports 7x7 grid and is quite smooth too..
but both have an issue when waking up or coming back to home screen from an app..the screen stays a bit towards the left due to archos buttons and returns to normal only after you swipe at it a little..
That is not a problem of the launcher but of the archos itself, because even the stock launcher has this issue

There's a thread over on ArchosFans that says if you make the first home screen or the next-to-last home screen (when using more than 3 screens) will fix that problem. Haven't tried it yet as I just read it and my tab is at home, but several say that it works in LP & Zeam.
I have been using Zeam launcher for the last 2 weeks, its very fast and feature packed, definately more stable on my 101 than LauncherPro (which runs well on my HTC Desire).
Give it a go.
cant post a link yet...sorry
Zea
Tried Go, ADW, LP & Zeam...love Zeam...
I tried several launchers on my Archos 101. Go launcher ex can only provide a 5x5 grid what makes it kind of useless for a ten inch screen. So i'm back at zeam as well. I'm still waiting at a launcher specifically for tablets.
Zeam is the daddy

Hello everybody!
I just want to know how the LG G4 themes work? I havent bought the phone yet, but Im considering it. Do the themes apply to the for example messaging app as well as the home screen? Also, are there any material design/stock android themes yet? Should I rather buy the S6 if I want that?
use nova launcher or google now launcher
I always prefer / run Nova on all my Android devices.
As others have stated, if you really want to get the most out of your device as far as customizing how it looks/acts you will ALWAYS be best off with downloading a 3rd party launcher.
I would also suggest Nova (though I prefer Prime since again it gives that many more features and will allow me to setup a gesture shortcut for tap-to-sleep) or Next Launcher 3D (Just started using this one the other day but so far I really dig it)

The LG G4 themes are pretty weak. You can't grab a theme or an icon pack from the Play Store and apply it, you have to get the themes from LG Smartworld, which is LG's own private app store for LG devices.
There are a few themes there, but they're mostly half-as$ed. 20 to 30 icons only and a couple of wallpapers, they don't give you enough.
Like everyone said, you can download a launcher from the Play Store like Nova. This will allow you to customize close to anything and apply icon packs with thousands of customized icons.
I wouldn't go as far as buying the S6 for that reason, not even close. You can expect the theme manager there will still not give you what you can get from Nova or any other launcher from the Play Store.
The LG themes change the icons and the wallpapers. Some include LG keyboard themes as well.
If you want the authentic messaging look and feel then you can download the actual Google messaging app from the app store. The LG themes does include lollipop material design. Google now launcher is authentic lollipop launcher. There is nova launcher which is the most popular. The moonshine icon pack can be downloaded from the play store and applied with nova launcher. That's as authentic looking as you'll get.
I have tried almost everything and can not find a way to get Badge notifications from apps. Launchers and add ons. Messenger, email... nothing.
I'm on 4.6.3. Rooted.
I like Google Now Launcher because widgets work and screen rotation with Xposed GEL.
Anyone get something working?
Thanks,
Nova Prime + TeslaUnread, for the last few weeks, no plans on changing it.

I had nova installed but widgets crashed it. Was Prime stable somehow?
Smart launcher 3. Notification badges work as does its own widget not sure about third party widgets. Qlauncher also. Think widgets work with qlauncher.
Total launcher has working widgets (you have to enable "legacy widgets", then they're all good) wallpapers, and badges work too. It's a little clunky at first, but then it became the best launcher I've ever found for the Fire, I don't have to settle on any feature, finally!

I agree total launcher has a large learning curve. However once I figured out how to use it has been awesome. As for the badge counters I have found they work for some apps but not all. I get a count on phone and SMS, but can't get email and some others to work.
I use the new trek theme and other new trek apps on the phone. Very cool stuff. Really feels like I have a padd in my hand. Sounds and all. Really impressed with the combo
Hello all,
I am about to get the new moto z play as the seller has not shipped it yet, and in moto z play after coming from htc one m8 with its good sense ui and classic/freestlye layout themes, i will not want to use/keep the stock feel. So I want experts kind help, to tell me some great and importantly lag free launchers/ui paid or free for Moto Z Play ?
Just want to also tell that I will never root it. So no answers on custom roms, etc needed.
Will highly appreciate the answers. It may help many more too!
I love you XDA !!

Some say it is not as good (as it was,) on Marshmallow.
Edit, sadly I just realized wallpapers do not work.
No so, on our phone, albeit has one minor issue not showing all of the bottom row of app drawer icons. So the labels get chopped. For this I have a work around. Folders work, backup and restore and everything else.

Action Launcher 3 Pro is love <3
Stock launcher is actually fairly nice with little to no bloat. That being said I loaded Nova Prime since I had it already and love the tweaks it allows.
I personally use T-UI (called Shell launcher on the Play Store). It is completely different from the stock launcher and is lag free, but unless you like using a linux terminal you will not like it.
Action Launcher 3 Pro, Nova Launcher.
I have paid Nova with a live wallpaper and a white line icon pack to go with my black theme, and even with animations at stock speed and using the transition animations in Nova, it's super smooth.
I've been using Smart Launcher for awhile now.. find it to be really smooth and unbloated

Nova. I believe they have an offer/discount for the premium version on the playstore

Please forgive me for quoting myself.
I do not think most of you realize what a great launcher this is.
Let me count the ways...
Instantly sort apps by date, most used or name
Migrate browser favs which I have saved to many home pages, in various folders, after a FDR or to others phones. This is part of it's backup feature.
It is fast.
You do have to put up with a black only wallpaper and an app drawer that hides some of is bottom row. Which you can work around by touching the icon to see the whole row.
See pics.
Snip rant...
Action Launcher 3 Pro. Without a doubt one of the best launchers I've used and loaded with features. It makes it easy to replicate a Nougat look too.
Commented about lag in another thread on stock rom. Glad I'm not the only one.
If there is any way to make software fast instead of smooth please lmk. Every animation is off and it still chokes on a single factory widget.

Evie Launcher is the best. I think
Evie Launcher is free and adfree.
No lags... light weight with lot of features. better than default Oreo UI
Nova launcher here for the past 5 years fast smooth and very customisable.
So now that Google deprecated the Google Launcher, what is my best bet to make my Tab S4 look and behave more like my Pixel 3? I've frozen the Samsung apps by and large and replaced them with the Google ones on the home screen. What is my option for overall behavior? I'm a fan of Samsung hardware, but not any of their interfaces that I've ever used. I may still be bitter from TouchWiz UI.
personally I m using Nova or Shade Launcher (there are other options)

I use Action Launcher - have used it for years on my tablets and my cell phone.
Lighting launcher
I use Nova Launcher Prime cause I need all the fancy stuff, but for cleaness I would use Lawnchair Launcher. Simple launcher, with yet, a few good features under the hood, including the usefull Sidepanel with Google News Feed.
How did you freeze apps?
