Hey guys, I was wondering if there was anyway to get rid of a few pages from the default motoblur launcher. I actually prefer the overall appearance over other launchers (LP, ADW, Go Launcher)...but I only want 3 pages. Is there any way to do this, or do I need to just stick with another launcher? TIA.
I'd like to know this too.
TIA
Idk if this works on motoblur but on adw if u hit the June button there is a choice that says edit if u press that you can delete screens

ADW EX has been updated with more Honeycomb tweeks.

The ADW icon has been changed to an app launcher! Hurray!

so happy adw icon is gone
I have been playing around with it for an hour now trying to decide if I want my default home to be the new updated adw ex or stick with my setup on launcher pro.
I think I am going to keep it as the default launcher. Right now the biggest hurdle is figuring out how many columns and rows the desktop needs to be set at.
Might be switching back to adw ex
I think the new dock and less force closes will have me moving back to adw ex, not having that icon is nice too.
hey, i just got it, and i cant figure something out. I used wallpaper wizardii for wallpapers on stock launcher, but on adw now, those same pics don't seem to fill the screen. Anything else I need to do to get them to scale?
I don't know, but Gallery is working for me.
Wow, making a Tablet look pretty is waaaaay harder than a phone.
Difficult Decision
I have customization syndrome. Every time I pick up my tab I have to change the layout somehow. With the new update to adw ex I want to use it as my default launcher but it still has a ton of space that is left unused on the top, bottom and sides. But it runs so smooth.
So I am stuck, keep the space and launcher pro Widgets or have less screen to work with but have a completely smooth experience with adw ex? I also am totally in love with the adw ex app drawer with the 4d.
Finaaally
Trying it out right now
sorry
Have to disable the main dock and use secondary dock as main dock in order to have use of the full screen on the sides.
Now I just have to figure out how to get my launcher pro bookmarks widget over to adw ex and I am good to go.
new version is great.
Thanks for developing it to a useful launcher on tablets.
I couldn't think it was possible but it is again smoother than before ...... hurray
widgets like youtube and market dont work well on it
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but every time I hit the home button it reverts back to TW. I thought setting the home button binding option would fix this but it didn't. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem?
Go to Applications, Manage, All, find Launcher, then Reset Defaults, then press the Home Icon, you'll be able to pick your launcher of choice.
Thank you. Not sure how I missed that.
You can't it is built into the launcher code. I installed and purchased Wizard Widgets from the market.

Dont think so.
BTW Is it me or is scrolling through screen unresponsive at times ?
Seems like you need a long gesture to get it to switch. A smaller "fling" results in a bounce only but stays on same screen.
Is there a setting for this ?
Looks great. Would like to have a trail.
How do you add a different launcher to Beastmod 1.3.1? Was looking around and couldn't find it...
I noticed people were talking about prolauncher and golauncher. Which one runs better ?
Thanks
You go to the Android Market and download one. I've never heard of either of those launchers though. Go with ADW or LauncherPro. I prefer ADW.
Thanks. I'm trying one out but sometime ill hit the back button and it goes to the original launcher screen. is there a way to fix this?
You know that to switch launchers you press the home button, it should bring up a menu with launchers that you installed.
If not download home switcher from the market (its free) and you can set home defaults by pressing home
I use Launcher Pro and love it. I cant remember why I liked it better than ADW or GO, but there was something so that's what I use. It works with BeastMOD no problems, but if you try to use it on stock with sense, the phone becomes nearly unusable because of lag.
Just like everyone has already posted, download your choice of launcher from the market, install, make default, and enjoy. Some launchers do not play nice with a sense framework--even though it is aosp-like, there is still residual code that can make some of the less intricate launchers have issues. Stick with the more 'known' launchers (launcher pro, et Al.).
ok i searched for this question but i found nothing...is there anyone swho knows about, seen it,or can take away all the home screens and leave only one? i think the dubwst thing is not being able to reduce the amount of pages...
THX in advanced
You have to use a third party launcher like ADW or LauncherPro. Stock ICS doesn't allow you to add or remove homescreens.
ADW or launcher pro will work great, but will make it look like gingerbread again.
Use Apex, Nova, or Trebuchet launcher to maintain the stock ICS look but have customization options.
i was going to suggest the same!
Why not Nova Launcher keep the ics feel?

So umm, I see a lot of people talking about "changing the launcher". But I do not know what a launcher is. I see it in my settings (running MIUI on my Infuse 4G).
So my question, and yes I know I probably sound like a knowledgeless-fool. But, what is a launcher?
A launcher is an interface replacement that gives u a new home screen and app drawer. U can customize it a lot according to ur choice
Best are go launcher, adw and launcher pro
I think this will help you. if it does please THANK me.

Like ICS said, a launcher changes your homescreen and appdrawer, making it prettier and sometimes even more useful. I haven't used MIUI personally. Maybe it comes with a launcher, and maybe it has some features that a new launcher would duplicate. I know CM7 comes with ADW Launcher.
My favourite things about LauncherPro: First, you can change the homescreen grid size. Second, you can swipe between multiple docks. You can make dock icons link to activities, not just applications. And you can assign different shortcuts for swiping a dock icon. So if I press the phone icon, it goes to the dialer; if I swipe it, it goes to the call log. Plus any launcher is going to be prettier than stock, but MIUI is beautiful itself.
There's no harm in trying out a couple of different launchers. I prefer LP, others prefer Go or ADW. I know Go and ADW are much more theme-able. The only thing is that with a rom like MIUI that already looks good, a new launcher might look out of place.
Launcher is the bit you see and use when your not running an app or making a phone call.
You can change it easily by going to the android market and downloading a new one like nemus launcher or go launcher ex.
Once downloaded they will auto install. You can try the new launcher without changing your current one by pressing phones home button.
Menu pops up asking which launcher to use, choose the name of the new one and try it out.
If you want to keep it press home again but before choosing new launcher this time tick the box it shows saying "use as default launcher".
If you don't like it just do the same with the tick but choose your original launcher instead.

I.. do not understand.. So it is like a theme?
Not exactly. It's a replacement.
For example, suppose ur running the stock eclair with the slide up vertical app drawer
Now, u want a button to launch the drawer., and u want it to be horizontal. How will u do it?
Enter Launchers
It replaces the drawer with its own, and its own dock bar
In short, it is not a theme, but a replacement that CAN BE THEMED

You know Sense, AOSP and Touchwhiz? Well they are default "Launchers"
Launchers can be downloaded from the market w/o root.
They are like a different style of homescreen...
The launcher is the programm you use to launch or start an app on your phone. The launchers UI (User Interface) is what you see as your home screen. Changing the launchers behaviour means changing the way icons are displayed or the pages flip. It lets you customize the way your phones OS feels and looks.
Does this answer your initial question?

If you are running ICS, Nova Launcher is a good one to check out too. It can be found in the Google Play Store. There is a pay version, but the normal one is fully featured IMO. Of course, try out a few and see what you prefer for your setup. When I hit the home button on my phone, it lets me select which launcher it uses by default so you can swap them out.
So, been trying like hell to figure out how to add an extra page or two to the stock LG launcher!! Can anyone give me a clue as to what to use? I would like to be able to stick with the stock launcher, as it just seems to fly compared to Apex or any other launcher out.

You should be able to hit the home button (when you're at the home screen) and it'll show all the pages. I have Nova launcher on my OG and I can't complain.

Pinch your screen. (Gesture)

Sorry, it's been a while since I've used the stock launcher.
Just pinch your screen to zoom out.. If you have room for more screens you'll see the + icon. I've been told the stock limit is 7 pages so if you're trying to go beyond that you may be SOL. You could always try a launcher if you're not too attached to the home launcher. I haven't tested how many screens are possible with it though.
