So...
I really like everything about Launcher Pro... except the app drawer.
I personally prefer the application setup from touchwiz more.
Is it possible to pull up the applications page from TW on launcher pro?
Thanks!
It wont be exactly the same but there is a setting in launcher pro that will make your app drawer horizontal. I think thats as close are your going to get.
where would that setting be...?
There is no setting for that on launcher pro. However, adw launcher allows you to have a horizontal applications drawer. You can download it from the market

Like stated, lp does not have this. It does have a 3d drawer. Adw has the iphone like app drawer.

I want to change my messaging and contacts icons on the touchwiz launcher but can't figure out how. The only option it gives me is to replace them with another app. I can make new icons to place on my screens but not on the tw row.

You need Launcher Pro or some other home screen alternative to change those.
I have been using Launcher Pro for a while now and wanted a change for a while. Thanks though.
i am. wondering whether anyone successfully use some alternative desktop apps (for example , dxtop) on 10.1.
mainly want to sortout apps,hide some apps, customerize user interface.
thanks .

ADW Ex is 3.1 ready. I still like the new honeycomb launcher for now though myself.

good to know that it works on 3.1. I would guess the home replacement app is not ready for 3.1 yet.
launch pro was mentioned somewhere in the forum ...another home app ...

using Launcher Pro and it works great, but not optimized for tablet yet.
I'm currently using ADW Launcher EX. I've gotten better performance from it than the stock launcher. Can't wait for the next release as it should have better integration with Honeycomb.
i never used launch pro , why i have an impression that the app allows you to customerize widget rather than being a home app ..

It lets you adjust the widget size if you purchase the full version, but it's mainly meant as a replacement home.
I use ADW EX after trying Launcher Pro which had a number of FC's. Adw flies on my GT but LP's widgets look great on the big screen. Just a bit of advice if you use a custom launcher is set the orientation to portrait or landscape and set it the way you want. The screens don't transition well if you use large widgets which I do.

I use LauncherPro primarily because of its great looking widgets and widget resizing. Honeycomb's resizing features only work with certain widgets specifically designed to support it. LauncherPro will resize any widget.
The only thing I don't like about LauncherPro is its app drawer, but for that, I have a shortcut to an activity that points to the native home screen. I haven't been able to locate the specific command to automatically launch its app drawer, but just getting to the home screen is a start. In theory, you could launch any replacement home screen's app drawer.
Anyone using a custom launcher? It seems only adw works at the moment?
Stock is so laggy, and adw makes it faster but I don't like how ads is set out

I used adw before I went to the bonsai Rom. Stock browser on there is great. Launcher pro also works ..and there is another called VTL launcher or something like that ... I bought it, but wasnt impressed so I returned it.
For me, the stock is as good as any when running Bonsai. Adw is awesome too ... but i dunno, reminded me of a phone too much I guess haha.
Ya that's what I thought to, and reminds me of a phone.. Just wish the ui was quicker

Launcher Pro Plus. Resize everything, but set it to 10x10 in apperance

how do you get 10 x 10? I like adw better as of now, but it cuts off on the screen, which is annoying. Launcher pro plus seemed laggy and the app drawer icons are wayyy to small. any way to fix lag via settings?

Home screen settings, then edit number of columns or rows. Paid version only.
I've got no lag using LP with bonsai rom and pershoots latest kernel. No OC. I like my home screen heavily custom with email, gmail, twitter, FB and widgetsoids on my home screen.

yeah, unless something is just wrong on mine. If i use ADW, scrolling through homescreens is ipad smooth. Loading the APP drawer is pretty smooth (not perfect), but the graphics cut off on ADW. Launcher pro is as smooth switching homescreens, but loading the app drawer seems laggy. I wish there were more options for launchers. Android is the future, not sure why App developers are so slow to realize this.
Using ADW here. Works great. For some reason, I can't get a home launcher to stay set as default.
I like how VTL has persistant docks on 3 sides of each screen. I can widgetfy my screens and keep my icon shortcuts to the docks. However it can tank your honeycomb tablet if you try to set as default. You will end up stuck in a bootup mode. So becareful, and they specifically note not ready for honeycomb.
Launcher Pro looks like ADW, but lacks all the customization options and settings.
I am new to Tab10.1. Had 4 Asus TF101's and decided there was no number 5 in my future. but so far like having Maxathon, Market, Moxier, and Friendcaster as persistent docked icons. Would prefer VTL..... more persistent icons. But I am curious about the Touchwiz I've read on here with Widgets. I don't see anything in my stock browser. Am I behind or it is a port/hack?

Hey guys. I'm looking for a launcher that allows you to use it completly full screen without a dck. Ive tried launcher pro and go launcher so far I haven't seen an option in any of them to remove dock so hoping one of you can help me.

What he said. I'm using a combination of ADW Launcher EX and CircleLauncher
Your main screen will look like this:
The icons you see on the top left and bottom right are CircleLauncher. When i tap them they open up the predefined app selection of my choosing. You have the choice of a circle, horizontal or vertical style.
Another neat thing on the ADW Launcher EX is that you can use the swipe up and down gesture to preform actions. For example swipe down opens my Notifications Bar and swipe up opens my Apps Drawer.
Hope you find what you need.
Here's mine ADW

I like Adw. It's simple clean and fast. Not sure if I will upgrade to the paid version since a lot of reviews are have force close issues. Are you getting any?

Personally i have never had a force close on my 3D. On my 4G I did have a couple force closes but it didn't bother me as much. Try out the free version for a couple days to get the feel of it. If you feel generous afterwards you can "donate" to the owner instead of "buying" it, that's how I looked at it. Good luck!

The same thing can be accomplished with Launcher Pro as well.
+1 for ADW. I hide the notification bar and get rid of the launcher. Here is a link to my setup. I've made some changes lately but you can get the general idea. Swipe down opens the notifications and swipe up opens the app drawer...

Any of you tried wave launcher? I love that... Another great option if you ditch the dock. And you can use it from anywhere from any app
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yeah, ADW does exactly what you're looking for, here's another image to add to the pile on this thread =p
What my home screen looks like (click for full size):
You can also set an optional 'hidden' dock that comes up on a specified gesture (for example, if I flick upwards I get my appdrawer, phone and ADW settings).
Tried wave launcher. Wasn't feeling it. Settled on circle launcher. Advanced settings go for deep customization.
With auncher pro i could never find out how to hide dock. Anyways to much work if they can't just add a simple setting to hide it. Shame cause I want it for the gmail widget plus glass sense glass theme.
Only bad think about Adw is the app drawer lags when opening and really bad scrolling. Not much of an issue once I have my screens setup. Never need to use it.

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.
