So I've been using QuickMenu for the longest time and I do love it,but I was wondering if there is a better Start Menu replacement that's more finger-friendly.
I have the HTC Touch, so I do realize it comes w/ the larger start menu already., but the program menu, when I choose to run a program, that program menu doesn't close automatically and I find that really annoying.
Plus, I'd like something that looks a lot slicker and utilize the finger gestures betters =D
Have you tried out ScrollLauncher? It's not a start menu replace, but it's a finger friendly program launcher. You just activate it and it lists all your programs on which you can finger flick up and down to see everything. A simple double tap launches the program. Maybe that will help a little.

Well, I'd like to have something to replace the start menu,so it needs to start when I hit the Start Menu icon, and have a similar structure to Quick Menu: Favorite programs, recent programs, Settings, and running programs, etc
Suggestion
Try:

A little CAB file that enlarges your start-menu for fingerfriendly use.
Will look as on the screenshot attached (thanks to google).

I already said that I have the HTC Touch with that Enlarge Start Menu. What I don't like is that when I go to programs and settings folder, and the folder doesn't automatically close after I choose to run an item from it. Plus, I'd like to have something more configurable and also shows running programs that I can close from there

They aren't finger touch friendly. I'm thinking along the lines of Schap's TouchXperience, but without all his bells and whistles, more focused on replacing the Start Menu, Programs Menu, and Settings menu. Think of what you get in Quick Menu, but more finger friendly

Wisbar Advance 3 has touch friendly features. You just need to turn them on.
You can use a combination of MortButtons and FTouch.

With WisBar Advance, you can start any program when you tap the start menu icon or window title. Or even different ones. E.g., I've configured it so that it shows the Today screen for the "start menu icon" and a MortButtons menu with the window title. And the default menu is invoked by tap&hold on the title, so I've got a backup if a development version of MortButtons hangs...

Right, but Mortbuttons is not the ideal Start menu replacement. You'd have to put in everything you want to show in it, rather than it automatically showing what's under the Start Menu folder in your system. Plus, what about the Control Panel?
Imagine the Wisbar Advance cascading Start Menu but a lot more finger friendly. That's what I'm looking for

You can add both the start menu folder and the control panel as entries (CP requires new beta). So you can do a MortButton menu with your most used apps, and include "usual" start menu and control panel as submenus.
Do you know SKMenu?
I use it for some time and I'm happy with it.
It let you customize the menus, including start menu and control panel, and create other news.
Now, in the last version, it has a full sreen mode.
Diamond oem (on this forum) has packages for smart scroling and gestures
I have noticed considerable ease scroling windows and pushing buttons with my finger.
I still use QuickMenu 2.7 Is there a newer version?
.Big Tabbed Start Menu
- When u click on menu icon a drop down big menu appear separated into 3 parts the first on containing last running Programs

a third part is for setting contain 3 tabs .. (Personal - System - Connection) When member click on any a menu appear contain the Icons ..somethng like this
I am also looking for something like this. I used wisbar, but since there are no nice VGA skins + it slows down the ppc a lot I am looking for an replacement. Anything new on this?
well all you guys want (as I do) is quickmenu..... with bigger font size.
Maybe someone could have a look into its dll see if something can be done.
Or email nanling (I think) to ask him to get a doubled version out ?

--twlauncher crash problem solved, see below. Feel free to answer general question though
Hi all!
Ran into a problem with my Galaxy S that I'd be really greatful if you could help me with.
THE QUESTION:
Is there some way of accessing the phone from my PC via USB and changing settings?
THE THING:
I have been running my system without problem for a while. Haven't made a backup though, stupid #%¤ as I am. When I was using the (stock) Internet browser I tried to add a (mobile) web page to the Start panel (or whatever it is called). Since then I get the error message "The application Start (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly." Gives option to "Force Close". Whenever I do, the error comes back after a few seconds if I am at the default screen and don't quickly go into the phone or sms app. Basically, I can't do anything that my Ericsson T10 couldn't do in 1999...
I think all of my "start screens" were already filled with apps, that there wasn't room for another, and this might be the problem that causes the twlauncher crash loop.
THE QUESTION (again, in context):
So, is there some way of accessing the phone from my PC via USB and changing settings? During my searching I've come to believe that two possible solutions might be to clear twlauncher's settings or to set another launcher as default, but in the current state I can't get to the settings neither from the started phone or from the Darky recovery console.
I know I could just wipe and reinstall everything but that feels like nuking a mosquito...and it's so tedious... If there is some smoother way to get at the problem that would be nice. Also I'm curious if it can be done, and I'm probably not alone.
THE SYSTEM:
Samsung Galaxy S (GT I9000)
Rooted
Android 2.2.1
Darkys' ROM v9.4 Extreme edition
Voodoo
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!
/Fredrik
Ok folks, I am happy again!
It seems things fix themselves for me if I only write a thorough post on some forum...
I went to android market with my PC, logged in with my google account (where I had apparently added my phone before) and downloaded another launcher (ADW) to replace my crashed twlauncher. After that I fiddled some more with the phone - obviously turned off network mode from the power menu (the menu that you get when holding the power button 3 sec). And then I wrote the above post.
Just now I was going to make a phone call (which was about the only thing working, remember?) but the screen had gone all black except from the status bar at the top, which didn't respond when I tried to pull its menu down. Brought up the power menu. At first it didn't respond to my touch but after a while it agreed to turn on network mode for me. Then ADW downloaded and installed itself. I still couldn't pull down the status bar menu to click on the "Download complete" icon and launch ADW that way, but I pressed the Home button and got a menu asking "Complete this task with:" and some choices. I ticked the box "always use this program" and selected ADW. Now, ADW started and I am back on track! No wipe or reinstall needed!
SO, short version solution to twlauncher crash loop: log into your Android market account from a PC, search for "launcher" and install one of your choice, then wait for the phone to download and install it. Then press Home, tick "Always use this program to complete this task" and select your new launcher!
Yeah, that solved my problem with Tw.launcher but if anyone has an answer to the question in the thread - is there a way to log into the phone from a PC to change settings - feel free to share your knowledge!
Addition - resetting twlauncher to be able to use Kies
Ok, after installing another launcher as described above, proceed with the following to prevent twlauncher from crashing in the future. You will need to this do if you want to connect with your computer using Kies, since Kies apparently cannot connect to other launchers (such as GO launcher or ADW).
1. Open Settings | Applications | Manage Applications.
2. Go to the tab "All" and scroll down and tap on twlauncher (or maybe it is called something else, on mine it is "Start" - check the twlauncher crash message to get it, or follow the instructions below under "Another way..." to find it in the Home button menu. You still need to complete the whole procedure to get it running though).
3. Tap the "Clear data" button. This clears your settings, i.e. the app shortcuts that you put on your start screens.
DONE!
In my case I believe the twlauncher crash was due to adding one more shortcut to an already full app drawer, so when I cleared the settings I can use twlauncher again.
USING TWLAUNCHER TO CONNECT WITH KIES
Now you can use the Home Swithcher app to launch twlauncher if you want to use Kies, and when you are done you can use Home Switcher again to switch back if you prefer the other launcher you installed.
Another way to get back to twlauncher if you don't have Home Switcher, is to go to Settings | Applications | Manage Applications, find your current launcher (e.g. GO launcher or ADW) and tap the "Clear default" button. Then (when you have exited back to the start screen) if you press the Home button, you will be asked which launcher you would like to use to complete the task. Select twlauncher (or "Start" whatever it's called). After you're done with Kies you can switch back the same way if you don't want to use twlauncher as default.

Such a great thread and no one else has added anything else to it I'm dealing with this crap atm and it is even worst. Holding power doesn't pop up the power menu. Cant access settings. I can bring the notification bar down and turn on wifi but it doesnt actuallly connect to my wifi so I can't do the remote app installation from the web store. I really don't want to do a factory reset.
as was asked here, is there a way to clear the data of the TWLAUNCHER app by using my pc and usb connection to the phone? I'm able to turn on usb storage and access it. Halp!
Hi guys,
I used to use Microsoft launcher as my default launcher in all phones but oppo find n does not let you do that unfortunately.
I didn't want to try adb methods (of uninstalling default launcher) that may lead to boot loop stucking if something went wrong.
So I thought to share with you finally a simple trick I came up with by using Tasker to automatically launch your favorite launcher based on UI change of default color os launcher of oppo.
First you need to install Tasker and give it all permissions required
GitHub - joaomgcd/Tasker-Permissions: Utility to easily grant Tasker permissions
Utility to easily grant Tasker permissions. Contribute to joaomgcd/Tasker-Permissions development by creating an account on GitHub.

Then you add a task and profile as follows:
Tasks > add > name it > add an action > search for if > add if condition: %WIN ~ Page 1 of 2** (**please note depends on how many pages you have on default launcher home screen, you should name the window label above (page 1 of 2 or page 1 of 3... Etc)) > from the add button > add another condition > %WIN ~ Page 2 of 2 (so the profile works on all pages of home screen) > add another action > search for wait > wait > 3 ms (milliseconds) > ok > add another action > app > launch app > Microsoft launcher (your launcher) > ok
Add profile > event > app changed > all apps (from bottom in Tasker) > system launcher
Choose the task you created with above actions in the profile
Done

Just a quick question: did you test this on Android 13 or Android 11? Because I'm using Android 13, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I am using Android 13...
Have been using this method for couple of days with no issues ))
In that case, I'm doing something wrong, for sure, because, sometimes, the Microsoft Launcher doesn't appear. As an example, if I press the Task Switcher button, and then press the Home button, I still get the default Oppo Launcher. Also, sometimes, when I press the Task Switch button, it opens and closes immediately. Just to clarify, I don't use gestures for the Back, Home and Task Switcher; I'm using the onscreen buttons.
The only difference is that I already used ADB to change the default system launcher to Microsoft Launcher. Could this be the problem?

Yes it could be.
I am using Tasker to automatically launch Microsoft launcher based on oppo default color os launcher itself, so if you uninstalled the default launcher Tasker won't recognize the UI change of default launcher and hence of course won't give you correct actions...
You may reinstall the default launcher and try Tasker method and please let me know if it works fine afterwards..
Just to clarify, I managed to get your solution up and running. Note that I didn't uninstall the default launcher; I only forced Microsoft Launcher to be the default launcher, using ADB commands.
The problem was something that we always forget: battery optimization. I had to change all the settings related to battery management (Battery menu and also App menu) and had to allow to run in background (Tasker App). Now I can have your script running 99% of the time.
The problem I noticed is if I press the Task Switcher button, for a short period I can see the running apps but then, it shows my home screen. If I press the Task Switch 3 times in a row, the Task Switch stays on but, as soon I press the Home button, it doesn't revert to Microsoft Launcher. To solve that, I need to disable and enable Tasker again.
Your solution, for me, it's not 100% fault proof, but it's much better that having to press the Microsoft Launcher button that I had to put on the Home screen, so, I thank you for sharing this other method for having a different launcher
If only we could put a "decent" ROM...

Yeah you are right. Tasker method have some bugs and sometimes it forces to home screen of Microsoft launcher in somewhere in settings.
Then like you said turn off the profile and turn on again later...

Good news I was able to fix that bug by adding a condition of the profile only works on home screen.
So it doesn't not work on recent tasks or settings that related to oppo system launcher app (lock screen wallpaper settings for example).
I will edit the original post adding the "if" condition...
Tasker will read the window label which is unique for each window in same app, so the actions will only be executed on home screen.
Please note the window label of oppo system launcher changes based on number of pages you have on system launcher home screen.
It's called "page 1 of x"
Where x is the number of pages you have in the launcher it self.
I was trying to reproduce your steps, but I'm getting stuck on the "if" condition. Whatever I do, I cannot put the "green" line (the one next to the conditions), it's always "red". I already tried to use Tasker Permission Manager to sort my Tasker's permissions (all green now) but looks like Tasker cannot "read" the WINDOW LABEL from the phone. I say this because if I try to press the PLAY button on the bottom of the task, it doesn't do anything. If I remove the "if" condition, it works as previously.
What am I missing?

The green line means the if condition is true and this only happens when you go to home screen which gives the label name page1 of...
It won't go green unless Tasker reads home screen label.
I took the screen shot after pressing play then going to home screen then going back to Tasker using gestures. It was not on purpose
Regardless the line going to green or stays red, if it works then it works. Even though you may not be able to make the line goes to green...
After a lot of testing, I finally found the reason why this method was not working for me:
Tasker App Check Method - Accessibility
I found that I had this option set to "App Usage Stats" (because I never changed it) and it must be set to "Accessibility"
After changing to this option (Tasker) and after activating Tasker in Accessibility menu (phone), it started to work.
But I found that this method doesn't work all the time. As example, if you click on the "Task Switcher" button, choose an opened app and them go back (via the "Back" button), the Microsoft Launcher doesn't open.
But, instead of complaining, I want to thank you for this method because it's works, and it's easy to set up.

The code
cmd package set-home-activity "com.microsoft.launcher/com.microsoft.launcher.Launcher"
And the task under adb wifi
But my advise is not to use it as when you go home screen and want to open recent tasks it messes up and you won't see any open recent applications, just lines..
(try it you will know what I mean)
Also it goes to oppo launcher sometimes and you have to go to home screen several times to get back to Microsoft launcher
Other thing Microsoft launcher icons stops working sometimes with me when I used that method
So I went back to my method of this original thread
Much stable and just a mask of oppo launcher on the top so everything goes fine (just like pressing Microsoft launcher icon to start it normally every time you go to home screen
Thanks a lot for the advice. I did try:
Code:
adb shell
pm disable com.android.launcher
pm enable com.microsoft.launcher
Which worked, except the 'swipe from bottom' gesture completely stops working. Can't swipe to exit foreground app, nor can you swipe and hold to see all recent apps.
I'm going to look around to see why that's the case, but maybe I'll just have to use your method eventually.

I guess recent tasks and home buttons are forced to be used by oppo launcher some how since even by not disabling the oppo launcher completely still some odd behavior happens by recent tasks and home button swiping.
Wish you the best of luck.
