Has anyone tried this launcher? It has a lot of potential but isn't polished enough to drag me away from Go Launcher yet.

I have it... not too shabby.
Options are a bit limited, especially if you use Launcher Pro.
It's smooth though and I must say, it has promise.
Being free is a plus too.
I just downloaded and set everything up to my liking, so I will test it out for a day and come back with the verdict. But so far, so good, its different, limited to options but its promising.
I tried it. It was... okay. The SPB 3d Launcher was much smoother and actually looks right even with a modified density.
Very nice find!!! Thank you for sharing. Nice launcher to use as a default.
I like the launcher Widgets and all and once this gets a little more work and has some more transition effects, configurable Widgets, etc. I could see this being real good.

I've been using it since release, I love the transition effects, especially for flipping pages on the home screen. Still very limited in options, but the extra home screen space is welcomed, I love I can have different wallpapers and title for each page, and I have had no FC's yet, which is impressive for a new launcher just released a couple days ago.
I can't wait to see what further development brings, I have already made this my default launcher.
I think it's really cool. I wish it were more customizable, but it's very polished and nice for a free app.
Thanks for sharing

I'm using. I like it, definitely had potential, just not enough to make me leave LP

Looks good to play with.
Definitely needs more polishing.

I've had it for a week and it seems all right. I did use the 3D Digital Weather Clock instead from the Android Market because the Regina on didn't work very well. Other than that, it's pretty good for a starting point.
I downloaded it. Tried it out. Has some cool features like the secret workspace.
Other than that its pretty gimicky and lacks real customization. Obviously has potential since its free. But ya as was mentioned will take more to get away from LP.
The whole 3D thing is cool-ish. Dont see the point in it though!
I feel the same way as everyone else. Used it for a while but really needs some more options before becoming the lp replacement for me.
But great start and lots of potential.
I didnt like it, didnt have many options.
Get the GO Launcher EX from market for free, get some themes, and watch short review video on youtube. Awesome!

Hi guys was wondering if there is this app out there that can do the following...
You know when you swipe left or right you go to different windows from the home screen. Is there an app or something that wil allow you to swipe up or down from the homescreen to go to the window to the left x2 or to the right x2. I'm basically trying to find a way to get to my other windows in just 1 swipe as opposed to 2. It might not be much but I would much prefer it that faster if possible.
Anyone know of anything that can do this for me?
I use the "pinch and pick" method. (At least that's what I call it.)
Or hit the Home button twice (or just once if you're already on the Home screen).
That's an interesting idea but I would assume it would have to be built into the launcher you're using. Like home screen replacement Apps have swipe up for this and down for that but I haven't seen them have an option for swipe up for page x.

Try an app called Wave Launcher. It's not exactly what you described as what you're looking for but may be another solution, it's a fantastic app! Here's a link for you:

Go launcher, set it to show previews on swipe up (you can even make it so it only does that when you swipe up on a specific dock icon, too!)

Swipepad is the shizzle, too! Good find! Swipepad + wave launcher + go launcher = totally covert homescreen! No statusbar, no dockbar, just secret areas to swipe from!

Will that all eat up my battery a lot if I'm running stock everything non-rooted?
I'm really enjoying being non-rooted because surprisingly everything just WORKs. Battery life is great as I can get an entire 12-13 hour day out of it before it goes red.
Also...why Go Launcher? When I use to have it on my old Evo 4g whenever I would press the "home button" it would close Go Launcher and go back to the stock launcher...also...I have to use their own Friend widget (people widget) if you use it right? Or has that changed? When I used Go Launcher before the People widget I use to use from Sense disappears.
I'm completely stock.... Just download Wave Launcher and try it, if you like it then excellent, if you don't then uninstall... It's a free app so you lose nothing trying it. Good luck!

Stock unrooted, too. GO Launcher (like any alternate home app) doesn't allow the use of Sense Widgets but they have an alternative to most of them and the widgets are themeable. Battery usage is no more than usual and if you REALLY wanna squeeze all the juice you can from a charge, check out Juice Defender. And why GO Launcher? It takes the best parts of all the paid launchers (ADW, Launcher Pro, etc), improves on them, adds in even more functionality, offers tons of themes or the ability to create your own, and it's free! I use GO SMS, GO Contacts and GO Dialer, too. The GO Weather is borked though lol dunno why

So i came across this on androidcommunity site! It was created by some xda developers around here! I installed on my atrix and it is working good has some bugs, but it is okay! The full story is on that page!

Nice find.
Less forced closures than some of the honeycomb launchers I have tried to use.

Im using it right now and not sure how I'm feeling about it. I'm not talking about bugs or anything, but things like the inability to change shortcuts on the dock and move the apps button to the right irk me.
I do like the button all to the right does. Cool looking and very useful.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Nice. But I will for the official launch when all the bugs are worked out.........I hope.
The button on the right is tits. I just hope you'll be able to customize the menu that pops up whenever you press it.
This launcher, if it's what the 2.4 launcher really is supposed to resemble in any way shape or form, is going to be fokking amazing. I just hope it has the native ability to re-size widgets. I am getting bored of all the other launchers out on the market right now. Been through them all and am bored with them.
you can make suggestions on the thread here at XDA, the developer is really passionate about this app and really wants it to be amazing! feel free to drop a review and your suggestions over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268003
It is faster than hcl and less fcs, I think it I due to the decrease in rows/columns. I think the "running apps only works on cm7 due to the stock apps installed...but correct me if I'm wrong.

I have used it all day on cm7 with no fc's at all. I got it from the bionic thread.
Edit: settings button in the scroll tabs does not work reverts to home screen.

I've been using pure breeze launcher and have been loving it.
The biggest part I like is the kite. Almost any program I'm in I can bring it up and have my most used widgets and shortcuts available. And all I have to do is hit the back button and I'm back where I was.
I especially use it with the xda app. Sometimes during writing a post and I'm not sure about specific directions, I bring up the kite, open the internet, double check info or even download a pic of what I'm talking about, then hit the back arrow and my half written post is still there. I can continue on like I never left.

Sounds like Wave launcher. I mean "kite" functionality. The best part about Wave is that you can use it with any other launcher as a "add-on". Last week was free as Gold app on GetJar. I checked and it's still free. Give it a try.

Wave launcher is awesome! I really think google needs to buy them and put wave launcher in as stock android.
But with the kite it allows you to bring up the app list where you have all your apps. And all you have to do is hit the back button.
It let's you use your launcher app, as an app, when you switch between apps.
Imagine pressing your home button now and being able to check out you home screen, open your app drawer and run a program. And you can press back to get to the previous app you were in before you pressed the home button. Pressing the home button doesn't mean closing out (in a sense) what you were doing.

Maybe you didn't know but with Wave you have ability to bring all your apps to any screen. In Wave settings change Long-press functionality to App Drawer. I set time duration to 1 sec.
But I don't use App Drawer much because I use Gesture Search app with Wave so in 2 sec I could launch any app, game, contact etc. from anywhere.

Can people compare and contrast some of these against touch wiz? Do all widgets work with each?
Can you also comment on how smooth they are and known issues? I'm new to touchwiz coming from sense which I actually liked a lot.
Also if I set one as default how can I undo it later?
ADW Launcher all the way, I've messed with a lot of them and it seemes to be the most bulletproof for me anyways.

As an android noob a few years ago, Launcher Pro was great. Then I moved on to Go Launcher and really liked it. After reading this thread and trying some of these others, I've really taken to Regina Launcher. It has many of the functions that I like (3d animations). But to be honest, we are really lucky to have all of the choices that we have at our disposal. The best part about it is that your homescreens and settings are saved with each launcher. So if you find one you like and set it up to your preferences, you can still swap between launchers and your settings are saved with each. So when I revert from Regina back to Go, it is still the same way that I left it.
I'm a big fan of the Sony Xperia Arc launcher with corners.

I use go launcher, specific features I like:
gesture to hide/show status bar
multiple docks i can scroll in loop
resize widgets
nice ICS themes
task manager built in
much more!
Don't have a market link for it, but this is by far the most unique launcher I ever used. Its styled after magazines and you can change just about everything. It even has page turning transition effects. A go launcher replacement in my opinion. Go check it out Lord willing

gave it a shot. I like the concept -- but its not for me.
very fast and smooth on my CM7 atrix though.
Definitely interesting.
After emailing the dev, found its closed source though. Personally not fond of using an app with so many permissions without access to source (same story with GO apps)
ADW is still for me, but thanks for sharing.

I came across after a post somewhere here, and it is a ripper. It gives massively more customisation than anything I've seen to date. Effectively you can even set things almost to the pixel, and set every attribute of it. I say things, because you can add may things.
Now that I have freed myself from app launching woes in each launcher by using a combination of WaveLauncher and FolderOrganizer, I can swap launchers at will. I no longer need to mess with app groups in each one, and can customise widgets alone. This one will be one of my all-time faves, I can tell.
I look forward to it progressing. I already have a few suggestions!
I haven't tried this launcher yet, but I also have use both wave/folders together. I find it much more efficient Anne completely frees up my screens.
