I have searched all over the web, and have not come up with results I am looking for. I am looking for a wallpaper that will make the standard TF3D wallpaper look like the hero/ TF3D2.6 clock. I am actually using S2U2 with the Hero Theme, however that wallpaper does not look right. if anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
Well as far as having the 2.6 clock with the integrated weather that's not available ATM but! Here's a link to a panoramic Hero wallpaper http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4330384&postcount=14
And a link to 2.6 icon set for the slider: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547029
Best things available right now without actually switching to a different shell like MS3 and getting a layout like this: http://pocketnow.com/software-1/get-sense-ui-on-windows-mobile
MS3 is very nice and while I've tried this layout and it works well, its at the cost of battery life, that's already not so great on my TP.
Hope this helps bro

Hey guys,
I was looking for a very light and fast launcher for replacing my xperia home.
I came across this launcher which i never heard of and is not so well known.
I has a refreshing new concept of a home launcher and i thought i would share.
Introduction video
Lightning Launcher on Google play
Maybe you like it as much as i do
Cheers
I tried this launcher a few times and even followed the development on Facebook a while. I liked being able to place things anywhere but the zooming in and out drove me mad. I settled for SSlauncher which also allows me to place text and icons anywhere.
Fast, less RAM usage, Smooth and good looking? Check THIS
thanks for the app.. !!!
I am using this launcher. Really light and fast. I would recommend it for those who like spiffy apps.

I installed this Launcher a while back but never noticed the text only style, the Zune style,
I replaced the font with NXT Font from Xperia S and it looks awesome, and fast,
I always love simple, clean, functional interface.
Hello
I'm not sure if this will work and need some help how to solve this issue. First i'm sorry if my English is a bit rusty!
Anyway i have made a design i'm pretty satisfied with. I want the above part to be fixed (Non scrollable) its there i want to place
the UCCW information as battery info, Free memory, Weather and so on.The lower part i made as tabs. 6 pictures with each tabs showing.
Best would be if i can get it to look like in a browser when switching tabs !
Now to the part where i'm stuck! I don't know how to make the tabs working without moving the UCCW widget with all info
i just want the lower part to be move able. Will try to show with a picture

When I used UCCW, which is already some time back, you had to (?) create 6 home screens with the top of each home screen the same (your battery indicator etc.) and the lower part changing, with in this case your tabs. Then in the launcher (e.g. I use Apex) you can switch off the home screen scrolling animation or reduce the time for the animation to 0 so that it looks like you are switching tabs.
Hi,
I wanted to get a sense of what others are using for their launcher interface for their TS.
I have tried a handful but nothing really seems to fit the bill all that well.
I have tried
Google Now Launcher
Launcher 8
Smart Launcher
Various "Big" and "Senior Phone" launchers
Nova Launcher
among others....
I seem to be constantly going back to the stock launcher (not OUI 2.0 as that is just crap)
What are you guys using or recommend trying?
One thing I seem to really hate about going to alternative launchers is the loss of the "real" status bar..... I have tried Swipe Status Bar, but that just introduces issues with having to swipe down when you need to access touch points that are near the top of the screen. (Plus the last version that was released completely made icons no longer clickable)
D.
Stock launcher for me seems fine.
I switch between stock Android launcher and GEL. I never use OUI2.

Smart Launcher for me, Operative style.
I'm pretty happy with lucid launcher across all my devices.

I have used ADW EX on my other devices for a few years, so I installed it. After tweaking the icon/text sizes and a few Gravity box tweaks, seems to work quite ok.
I think pretty much any launcher will do, as long as you can customize it around the limited screen space.
Lightening launcher with x3 UI layout.
Just tried smart launcher 2 as mentioned on here. It's really good! all the elements fit perfectly on the screen almost like it's made for the TS.
I really use the OUI... But I only tried stock and OUI, didn't try any others yet, so this might change
nova for me just with the icons set very big like my status bar to much and not a fan of the status bar app that will give you access to it never worked quite like the stock status bar should.
I've been using Mini Launcher... although only for a few days and haven't tried many other options yet, so i might change if there's anything better
+Lokifish Marz. Can you please elaborate a little on your set up.
Thanks in advance.
Right now it based on Lightning but really needs to be a standalone.
Thank You Sir?

Would love to have this for my Watch!
Personally, I really liked the WP8 launcher. Could fit lots of useful info and apps on the watch screen.

I keep falling back to the stock launcher. I've tried a few (nova, apex, and similar), but the status bar is the biggest issue. I'm really fond of the bar for easy overview of new notifications, and can't really live without one. Swipestatusbar solution works ok:ish, but not having the bar there after exiting apps and having the bar interfere with touch event at the top makes it a dealbreaker.
OUI is almost there - it has widgets, app drawer and screen sorting, and the status bar. It does however lack in other ways, like missing an indicator for which screen you are on, and everything looks very blurred, together with almost no customization. Some widgets looks as if they are rendered at like 50x50 pixels and zoomed to fit the screen. Also seems unstable, it has crashed a ton of times.
If the stock launcher could just get widget support, an app drawer and preferably a way to add/remove/sort your screens, I'd be happy with it. For now it works though, and seems fast and stable with status bar working..
EDIT: After playing around a few hours with different launchers today, I finally went back to Nova. It takes some getting used to, but the status bar issue now feels like an acceptable loss compared to all the gains. It works very well, and renders on small screens better than most other launchers (some have too much paddin in the grid, some render icons very pixelated or blurry, and so on). Nova does a good job, my only peeve is that icons are aligned to the top of their grid position, and widgets are aligned to the center. This means that if you place an icon next to a widget, they will not align, and also the icons come a bit too close to the top. However, it's still better than the alternatives I've tried, so sticking with Nova for now.
When?

When will you be releasing it??? :highfive:
I am using launcher 8.
The tiles uses most of the screen at any given time, as opposed to a more regular android launcher.
Android launchers in general wastes a lot of screen real estate. This is because of the way the icons are organized, with lots of empty space between them.
The tiles you get in launcher 8 is quite tight, like in a proper windows phone.
I like this.
The tiles are also customizable in size, so stuff that is often used will have big tiles, while the lesser used programs get smaller tiles.
Launcher 8 also runs smoothly.

i use tsf shell for many years on all my phones and tablets.
now i use it on the truesmart and it really works great.
its smooth, it looks cool, you reach everything you want in short time.
shure i have to use swype status bar, but that is not really a problem.
ok it is not really cheap, but you only pay one time and can use it on all devices, so i think the price is fair if you have more devices
I'm new to Huawei as I recently switched from an iPhone to the Huawei mate 20 pro and I'd like to know why some icons are circles and the others are rounded squares and if there's a solution to it. personally would like my icons to be rounded squares as I'm used to have in the iPhone but in this new phone, circles and squares get mixed and creates this ugly homescreen that I have to see everyday.
I've looked into some icon packs and they usually involve installing a launcher, which I do not want, because I've heard they decrease performance, and then most of them have some bugged icons or are too different from the original ones and are ugly.
So, I am no phone expert but I don't see a solution to keep the Huawei home launcher and have uniform icons. If you have any, id be grateful if you could please let me know.
Some icons are huawei system icons, others are developer icons like Google messages or 3rd party apps
The best way install icon pack, best using Nova launcher or another 3rd party launcher with icon customisation.

Hi, I had a same problem with the different shape of icons and I tried some themes from Play Store and I can recommended you themes from Aurel. Every theme has a same shape (circles or rounded squares).
Themes can be a good way around it.
Don't be too quick to dismiss using launchers and icon packs though. Later firmware versions have fixed a lot of the issues people were having with third party launchers and gestures for example. Performance isn't really affected by a good launcher.

This! I've never ever used launchers on my Android phones for the past 5 years or so however I'm in love with Nova prime on the mate! Do your self a favor and buy the Nova prime and customize it your way. I love how my screen looks now, everything is uniform and organized. Also the mate is a powerful beast. If ****ty phones can run Nova, don't you think the mate, having one of the most powerful processors out there, can handle Nova with breeze. Also I've not seen any battery impact whatsoever. In 24 hours of use, with 8 hours of screen on time, Nova only used about 20 minutes worth of CPU, which is nothing.
