Well, is there any program that makes Android menu "sideways" instead of down? List is soo long, would be much easier just to scroll sideways.
If this has been asked before, sorry, but couldnt find any when I searched
What menu specifically?

If you mean your application menu, i believe ADW launcher has a setting for this (or LauncherPro).. i forgot which one it exactly was, but i've seen it for sure with one of these
That of course, if you mean your application menu
Sorry, yes, application menu, but if I get adw or launcher.pro, do I have to get rid of sense then?

That...is a very good question.
I only used ADW or LauncherPro on non Sense builds. I honestly have no idea if they work with Sense too..

ADW launcher replaces the sense launcher... And it's the one that has the horizontal application scroller. There must be a way to do side scrolling though inside some app drawers like Launcher Pro and SenseUI.

Crap, don't want to replace Sense.
Anyone else maybe know this?
Sorry, but bump?
I have been trying a lot of android builds and I guess that the only place where I came across the horizontal scrolling option were in non-sense ( ) builds. I prefer sense too... so its a shame. Hoping someone can help with this one ..

Title says all, I'd like to know what launcher Sensehero 2.1 Build 5 is using.
And if it is possible to apply a livewallpaper-patch.
Thx for reading!!
My assumption was that it is still SenseUI but heavily modded,... Could be wrong though.

Hmmmm, yeah could be, but if I take a look at the pictures, it really looks like the Froyo launcher.
Yeah, its really nice isn't it. Pretty sure it is, as it is still a Sense ROM.

I'd really like to see full Froyo at the HTC Hero
And i think i really like the Launcher, it's just.. it has something more then LauncherPro which is GREAT though!!
I'd like to use an alt launcher or a Vanilla ROM but am tied to Sense as I cant live without the HTC Calendar widget that can scroll up and down. A real shame as that Launcher Pro does look really nice.

Yep same here, I really loved the launcher at my HTC Niki that time it was eclair I thought, or even donut, but I loved it!!
Just the pure android, with the original widgets and stuff.
But I'm addicted to the HTC Camera and there are a few other things i just can't miss..
it says on the sensehero post what it is!
Remapped nav buttons and reskinned...
Just the rosie launcher on steroids
Right hand button is still add widget,middle is apps left is phone
It seems like LP bogs down SO much after a while.. to the point where everything hangs. I revert to the TouchWiz Launcher and it's like night and day, with the same widgets + feeds and updates.
What gives? Anyone else notice the same?
Yeah I notice it for sure. I haven't noticed it since the lag fix, but it has only been a couple days.
Launcher pro is way quicker than touch wiz for me. Before and after I applied the lag fix. I also try and reset my phone every other day our so.

I did one of the lagfixes but I undid it and decided to do a factory format. I don't notice much difference, except for when LP lags up the whole phone. I've gone back to the TWL and things are snappy again.

I've never seen the need to reset every other day. But I do notice LP seems really fast with transitions.. but there are some bugs here and there like the preview cards getting jumbled together and such.
Uh. use ADW Launcher? no problems with it with lagfix, I don't know why so many users of the Vibrant community dislike ADW Launcher and is mainly biased towards Launcher Pro.
the only thing i liked about ADW was the option to make more icons fit on the screen. other than that i think TWlauncher is smoother and less buggy. plus the multicons app does what i liked from ADW anyway
Lp is the best! I hate that adw replaces the menu> settings with its own preferences....stupid. Plus lp is faster than anything else

I have nothing against ADW, but I'm using LP right now so that's why I posed the question.
I use launcher pro for one reason. I love the calendar widget. I do notice that it gets a little laggy every once and a while and most of the time a reboot takes care of it.

Seems like you have a pretty big grudge against ADW Launcher. Using another launcher would "solve" your problem. What does LP have to offer that is making you stick with LP? Both are great launchers and the winner depends on the users' personality.
@disturk: It replaces the notifications button on the menu. Is notifications on your menu really necessary? Plus. I believe LP also replaces one button with Settings.
@bromat80: There are other alternatives to the widget, and if a launcher is lagging me then to my opinion it wouldn't be worth having if it lags. At least not until the developer fixes the problem. Try CalWidget as a alternative if you were to experiment with another launcher.

I was referring to being on the home screen..stock is menu, bottom right is settings for phone...lp keeps this whereas adw puts adw settings on the bottom right and moves phone settings to the bottom middle...(unless they've changed it..haven't used adw in a month)

I guess what I was getting to is that I like both ADW and Launcher Pro equally and what makes me choose LP is the calendar widget. The lag doesn't bother me. I was just pointing out that I do notice that it does get laggy and normally a reboot takes care of it.
I personally find Launcher Pro more elegant.
No lag that I notice.

Whoa whoa, whats with the attitude bro? if the OP likes a certain product and want to support it, he can do whatever he wants. It sounds like you are the one with the grudge against LP. I personally like LP because it does 3D App Drawer and 5 icons columns on desktop. AND it's fast as **** on my phone.

Yea, launcher pro all the way, my phone used to lag with touch wiz all the time.
LP here. Absolutely no issues at all. Incredible.
Hands down TouchWiz is most definitely the fastest launcher of them all. I see no reason to use third party launcher other than to customize a few things. Does TouchWiz look like the iPhone? Yes! Does the Vibrant overall look like a better version of the iPhone clone? Yes!! lol. Do I love my Vibrant with all of my hear? *$#@ YES!!! but that is besides the point I am trying to get at
Launcher Pro sucks in my opinion, and is much much slower than TW. You can tell by that it takes a few seconds longer to initially load the icons when going into Applications. Transitions just aren't as fast either.
ADW is probably a tad bit faster, but you still can not compare it to TW. I do wish that I had an option to go back and forth between stock and TW. Hopefully that will be made available in 2.2.
I would say stick with TW, make life easy
You can change the speed at which the applications load in the drawer on lp. I don't think anything is farr than instantaneous
I prefer lp because I don't like the side to side scroll in the app tray. I have my speed set higher than the default values for lp and experience no lag.

Get Go launcher EX from Market it is free it have 5-7 types ( you can change theme also I use Honeycomb theme with it)
In the Market, type in 'launcher', there are loads of replacements which have loads of settings etc.
I recommend launcher pro, or launcher7.
Launcher7 is really sexy
Thanks for the suggestions, but these change the GUI more than I want. I only want an app drawer replacement.

In that case I'd go with 'ravitejas' suggestion of Go Launcher. It looks similar to touchwiz and you can change the app draw to scrolling type. It just takes a bit of messing about with lots of settings...
Or if you'd like an actual list of apps you can press menu when you're in the app drawer and select list view...

Unfortunately, my Galaxy S II does not have the list view for some reason. That would have been a decent solution. Oh well.. can't make the phone the same in every market it seems.
What about solutions that work with rooting? I did root the phone awhile back, hoping that I could use this to my advantage. So far, no real use.
Weird that yours doesn't have a list view option...
Can't help you beyond stock rom I'm afraid, haven't rooted...haven't seen any real need to...

The problem is you want to replace part of the launcher program but not the whole thing. Root or not it's hard to replace "half a program". Someone could probably, theoretically at least, hack the program apart and replace it that way but that's a lot of effort.
Are you sure you don't have list view? Open the app menu and hit menu
Pick a launcher, i recommend launcher pro or ADW EX (far better than standard ADW launcher)

is there anyways to get rid of the annoying(in my opinion) 3d transition that is in every stock rom?
or at least a mod that i can flash of some kind. I prefer just regular transition like the og4g.
Thnx guys

Swiping between the screens. Anyway to get rid of the Cube transition?
oh ok i thought u meant transitions as in how menu's and such come in and out the screen.
There are plenty of mods to change that lol
but as for from screen to screen i have no idea. I would LOVE to get rid of it as well as would some others i bet but i don't think its possible.
but what do i know im no dev
I also tried to get rid of this anoying and useless thing. Along with the carousel effect.
I ended up simply installing ADWLauncher EX and ported over all my homescreens, though you'll loose HTC Sense UI (which i don't miss at all anyways..)

Hey guys, anymore word on this? Possible or no?
Is there a mod that would let me just have one homescreen when using Sense as my launcher?
I know I can do it with other launchers like Launcher Pro (which I have used 99% of the time on my OG Evo). I've seen mods/tweaks that let you change the # of homescreens but the minimum I've seen is 3.
I really prefer having just one homescreen and I'd like to see that happen in Sense. I've been poking and searching around but I haven't stumbled on anything yet.

If you press home button again from the main screen to the view with all your screens, you can hold down each and drag it up to the X and remove them.
I feel like such a noob haha. Ok down to one homescreen now, but can I disable the scrolling? It doesn't make sense (lol) to be able to scroll the screen to the same homescreen over and over.

Don't know how/if you can do that.
Mikeys rom has the spinning top mode removed. Isnt there an option in leedroid tweaks to disable it? Havent used sense in a long ass time so i dont remember. There should be other roms with it removed.
leedroid tweeks does not appear to have any settings like this.

MidnightRom 1.2.7
I'm actually on an Evo V with Virgin Mobile, but it's the same phone as the 3D.
It's weird that I'm even trying to do this. I WAS using LauncherPro which has always been my preferred launcher. I'm not sure if it's a problem with this rom when using LP or what, but I've noticed that frequently enough when I would return to the homescreen from an app that there would be a black bar the size of the status bar right underneath the status bar, like blank space. It would stay there until I did something like go to the app drawer and then return home.
It doesn't seem to occur when using Sense, so I'm seeing if I can tweak Sense to my liking.
Same deal for me using LP.
It hasn't been updated since March. Hopefully it hasn't been abandoned.
sudo passwd root
Oh well it's at least good to know it's not just happening to me. I thought maybe there was something off in this rom that might be causing the problem, but looks like it could be an issue with LP if you experience it too.
Try adw. I personally recommend nova or apex though. Lp was my go to when i had a hero. Havent used lp in almost a year now.
Yeah it's a LP bug. Does it real bad if you use the google search widgit. I've tried every launcher out there, and LP is still my favorite. So, hopefully it will get an update.
