Meaning.....like getting launcher pro to run as default, while stock twiz DOESN'T run in background.
Make launcher pro run in background the way that twiz does...so it doesn't take up any extra ram in task manager.
Anyone know if this is possible?

When you launch the launcher of your choice through hitting home you'll get a dialog box. Check the one you want. Go to titanium and freeze the launcher you don't use.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
But that'll still run that launcher on top of twiz. You'll still see that launcher in task manager. What I'm asking is if someone can make a specific launcher run the way twiz does. Kinda like the way these non twiz roms run aosp froyo/gb launchers

I'm hoping for solutions, not suggestions on new roms...I'm happy with bionix v. Not gonna change roms till there's a stable gb release from team whiskey.
I'm just wondering how devs are able to apply the aosp launcher to run in the background, and if this is possible with launcher pro instead.

If you have launcher pro installed just use root explorer to delete the touchwiz from the system/app folder.

That wasn't a suggestion tbh, it was a solution.
Getting a ROM with no TouchWiz will completely solve all your issues with this...
Also.. since you have bionix v... did you get the touchwiz one? just flash the one without it... same look, same feel, just no touchwiz.
It's not that I wanna remove touchwiz. I just want launcher pro to run in background the way touchwiz does.

Wouldn't selecting launcher pro as default when you click home work justl ike that??
Run in background....meaning it doesn't show up in task manager. Like touchwiz.

Oh...
Its in task manager no matter what u do... U cant remove it from that
Yes delete Touch Jizz uh i mean touch whiz is the best solution
If you freeze it in titanium it wont show or run in background. Because it essentially isn't recognized as an installed app for practical purposes. For example I have launcher pro and touchwiz installed but I use dxtop. I don't want to get rid of the others, I have an wp7 setup I'm working on in lp. But I have them both frozen, and they don't show up in task manager.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
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 else like the previous ADW version better than the new updated version? No hidden dockbar is killing me.

I don't use ADW Ex but I saw this on my twitter feed yesterday.
@davekover ADW EX users: To hide your dockbar in the new update, set a gesture swipe action to 'open/close dockbar' -- temporary solution.

Hope it helps!
Ya that's what I'm doing for now but it is impossible to set up the launcher like I had it before. Now whenever you hide the dockbar it also moves all icons and Widgets on screen as well and its very choppy. Glad they said temporary fix. Maybe they'll add it back in.

It's starting to grow on me. Not updating it on my tablet though, because apparently, the update messes up my homescreen setup (Hubs).
Good to know..
I haven't updated yet.
Im gonna save a copy of this apk b4 I check it out
Previous version was definitely smoother for me, hoping for an update to fix that. Adjusting to it but since I didn't use hidden dock that much the transition hasn't been as hard as it might be for others.
Just switched to adw today. For 10 cents how can you go wrong? Coming from go launcher it is a slight change, but growing on me. Had to get Android pro widgets because I missed my go launcher Facebook widget. Not as many effects but seems a little smoother.

adwsettings > interface > dock > "dock as overlay"
What worked for me to hide the dockbar was to make the swipe up gesture to hide the dockbar, then once it was gone change the swipe up gesture back to what i wanted it to be (which was app drawer for me), and the dockbar stayed hidden! I hope this wasn't too confusing and I hope this helps!

That setting change is a great alternative to what in used to. This will work for a bit, but I'm still hoping that they add back the hidden dockbar as well

yeah me too, I was expecting a choice of launchers like the video showed, but after it installed it went to ADW only, so I spent a while re-doing my screens
to the folks missing the hidden dock bar, can't you just hide it? I made the swipe-up show/hide it. I don't know what I'm missing since I didn't see the old verision.
also adw notifier quit working on my widgetlocker lockscreen (but that was before the install).
I used the preset fast and this thing zooms now

Paid for EX like a year ago. Loving the update because it finally allows the ics dock to scale properly.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
so is it just me, or do other people have to tap 3-4 times to launch stuff on the dock? If I pull the icon off the dock and put it back on it works on one tap. the tap is registering because the icon highlights blue, but it commonly takes a few tries...?
Out of pure boredom, I'm trying to get my phone to look like iPhone. I have a launcher that makes it look like it. I'm using bTunes as the music app. And I have an iPhone notifications app. Can anyone recommend anything else, or anything better than what I've done?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Have you ever thought about to use iphone instead?
Haha I did that once, it was either GO Launcher or ADW Launcher that has a really slick looking icon set -if you really like the launcher you have there is an app called 'ThemeX' that extracts features from themes, such as icons, docks or backgrounds. And the other thing you will want is a iphone folder widget.

I am using Go Launcher currently which seems pretty good, but also seems very bloated. I use ADW on my phone so tried that on the nook, and the icons where either too small or blurry when I made them bigger. What do you guys use?

I used ADW EX until I went to CM9, now I use the stock Trebuchet launcher.
I just switched from Trebuchet (built in CM9) to Apex and I'm liking it so far.
Nova Launcher. I've tried apex, and go launcher HD.

It's hard to tell. I would have run them with the intent of measuring battery life.
I felt like Go Launcher HD was pretty resource intense. Nova Launcher definitely runs smoother. I ended up buying the pro version.
Go Launcher HD has best implementation of folders, but runs slower and has less options right now. I think that eventually it may be a really great launcher for tablets. If you want a free launcher with folder support then Go Launcher HD is your best bet right now.
I didn't give Apex a lot of time. It seemed buggier to me.
I hope this helps!
ssLauncher
I've just started using SSLauncher -
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.launcher&feature=search_result
I *really* like this, especially on a larger screen like the Nook.
I'd say it's kind of a combo between Launcher 7 and using Simple Text or that program that lets you set pictures of any size as icons (can't remember what it is called) It also supports my favorite widgets on screen, too - - but allows them to be resized at something like half or 1/4 icon size intervals. All this is done natively by the launcher app.
It also comes with templates and has some themes. There is a free version - I'm using the paid version which is $3.00.
I'm getting all the functionality on CM7, btw . . . so fluid resizing, etc is not ICS dependent.
It's a new launcher that I stumbled across while searching for something new at the Play store. I may not use it long on my phone, because it seems to work best with lots of screen to fill up. But I think it's a keeper on the Nook.
I'm using Launcher 7. I love that kind of interface. It looks a lot more clean to me. There's a free and a donate version up on the market.

I ended up using ADW Launcher EX myself, I used Go Launcher EX for a while but I found it still pretty buggy in a lot of ways, if I restarted Go Launcher or the Nook the widgets never would reload correctly and every so often the fonts would just get really really big for no reason.
I use Go Launcher HD , but as soon as my WiFi is fixed, I'm gonna try some different ones.
I use Apex Pro on both my phone and Nook. I used to use Go, but found it too resource intensive (though it does, Imo, have the best notification implementation; nothing else I've tried shows Facebook notification badges).
Tried Launcher 7 but didn't like it as much. I'll probably buy Nova Prime the next time it's on sale.

I have used a few and for a while I was using nova. But I really like go launcher HD. I have used it on my thinkpad tablet, my galaxy note 10.1 and on my nook tablet. It runs great on this tablet. I don't play games or do much media intensive stuff. I do watch the occasional video or mp3. But I mainly read books and browse the web.
