So... any of you guys tried this? I haven't been running it today, no need at this point with MikShift, but if/when I go back to AOSP-based roms, it will definitely be my launcher of choice, especially if they continue to develop and include matching widgets for each Launcher interface.
Thought I'd put the word out, it's quite a nifty home replacement. Find it on XDA or Market.

I was trying out "MYLAUNCHER" that's free in the market. I gotta say, it's not that bad. Still in beta though and in the early stages so not much in the settings menu...
Back to ADW for me for the time being...
Yeah, seemed really boring. Just different docks, right? I think that's supposed to be part of the appeal but it wasn't for me.

If they do decide to include widgets to match the different docks, (sense, blur, touchwiz styled) then it'll be amazing.

Just tried it. Not too bad. I hate horizontal scrolling app drawers but I like the sort options and being able to reorder the apps. The animated trash can opening up eager for my junk was cool too.

Yes, it would. But, since its open source anyone can build and modify it to release with their roms.
If someone wantexd to do that and include widgets, I don't see the harm.

I cleared the defaults to the launcher so that I could check out the vanilla launcher vs. Sense and it is super buggy. First, all of the apps are pushed over to the left so they are literally off the screen and the touch response is not working well. Is this just due to it not being optimized for the phone yet?
Sense is much improved, but I have always loved vanilla android. Let me know if anyone knows.
I just downloaded the free gingerbrad launcher from the market. It worked well!

Is anyone else getting really bad lag on lpp opening up the app drawer? I've noticed this right as soon as I got the phone, I've been clearing up and had over 600MBs free and the lag has still been very noticeable to me.
I did notice a bit of lag there.
I'm switching back and forth between sense and lpp.
The new sense is really pretty but I miss scaling the widgets and customizing the bottom bar. I love the little 3d effects though...
Just want to get a view of interest if this theme would be wanted by anyone. I loved it and built it right before the 3.5 craze.
Like stated in rader3bravos thread sense stuff cant be themed, but if your using an alt launcher it would work.

Meaning new png's from Sense 3.0. There are at least 50 +, png's that need to be resized. There's also entirely new png's I've never themed before. It's going to take some time to get it fully themed.

Where? I only see a few and almost all of them are paid skins.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
There are more themes in Google Play than in the built-in theme selector. Maybe that's what (s)he's seeing.
This launcher is cool, but it feels rushed in a few ways. For example, why can't I configure:
Where the MX (Cover screen?) button goes
Where the app drawer icon goes, or its icon (and why isn't it themed?)
The number of docks. I just want the one.
The task killer. I can already open it by long-pressing app drawer. Yet I can't move the dedicated task killer launcher (from dock 2).
The names and colors of the folders in the app drawer. No "Games"? And what is Lifestyle anyway?
The icons on the clock. Yes, I know I can change them, but to select Music, I have to have it launch the stock Blur music app? No thanks, I like the MIUI one, TYVM. Likewise with Contacts, I can't make it open Contapps. Gallery won't open QuickPic. You see where this is going.
The home screen indicator. I'm fine with it being there when I'm changing screens, but all the time? Not feeling it.
Other than that, it is a nice launcher. When placing icons, you get the grid from GO Launcher EX. Also from GO is the home screen configuration (press Home, this lets you add or remove home screens, or move them around). From GO and ADW it has a popup when long-pressing icons; other than being more visually impressive, it adds an Info option which takes you to its page in Settings/Applications (this is good if you want to force close the app, or maybe clear its cache, or remove its defaults).
The settings are also really bare and spread out amongst some confusing labels.
This app has a couple neat ideas. The app drawer and cover screen are nice touches, but the customization is very shallow. It feels like a beta, a work in progress. I'll keep it around because this thing is just dripping with potential.
Got my tablet, don't really like the sense launcher, and adw ex doesn't look right imo. Any alternative honeycomb launchers?

I think he meant the stock honeycomb launcher, not the stock htc launcher. The stock honeycomb launcher does not have wasted space, the other two I'm not sure about.
Ah yeah I saw a "t" in there that wasn't there lol. Yeah I saw the team syndicate one and I tried it out, only problem is it was kinda designed for gb and froyo so it has a virtual notification bar that can't be disabled... However that was the free version it might be able to be disabled on the paid I dunno. Anywhere on XDA I could just grab the apk for the actual stock launcher and install it?

GO Launcher EX is good. Has lots of features that most Launchers don't
But I always miss the glorious sense widgets that you cannot get any where else.
Honestly I've warmed up to the sense launcher a bit. Its basic and bare but the cool animations and awesome sense widgets make it worth using. As far as real estate, Go launcher HD had the issue too, just seems to be a honeycomb thing so whatever really. Think I'll just stick with Sense for now!
yea go launcher HD (beta) is a nice alternative to the stock or htc launchers for sure. just started using it today and really like the folder support
it's not on the market u'll have to search around for it
Yeah I found it from a google search, had a download link,and thats how I got it
Yeah I tried Go Launcher HD and it certainly a beta. Need lots of work.

I use this one, it doesn't run sense widgets, but runs great and looks awesome. I even put it on my phone.
I was wandering if there is a way to make a hybrid rom or if a dev would be willing to try to make one. I'm just suggesting because I like sense 5 but I do miss the sense 4+ widgets they removed and the carousel home screen transitions. Also being able to move your home screens around to a different spot. Everything else I like is from sense 5. If maybe someone could port those over or make a sense 4+/5 hybrid. Just a suggestion.

given the massive changes to sense, it would be a lot of work to try and integrate sense5 features into a stock rom or vice versa
given the dependency changes as well (fusion, assets, rosie/prism, etc) you would be asking for issues
not to say its impossible...but i dont see the amount of time needed and the probability of it not even panning out really being worth a dev's time....then again, some people seem to have 100 hours a week to work on stuff, so who knows
Unless you wanted to pay a lot for a developer to do this, it's doubtful. You could always download both versions and make your own hybrid. Granted this would be simple things such as icons and such (already available to download on Viper DNA) , unless you know how to code.

thats not a hybrid rom...thats a sense 4+ rom that has sense5 icons/images/fonts etc
a true *hybrid* would mix the frameworks/apks/widgets and so on...not just mimic the look
i remember the days of the hybrid sense 2/3 roms on the OG Inc...good times.
That ROM would probably take up a lot of system space since they call on different system commands..
I like this idea a lot, although i think the amount of work makes it not really worth the time someone would have to spend on it. There are some things I miss about sense 5. For example, why did they remove all the customizability? No skins? I feel like they're kind of pulling an apple on us. Regardless, I love sense 5. I keep switching back and forth though because I do miss 4+ sometimes.
