No, this isn't a launcher I did or anything like that…just thought I'd share a cool find. There's a thread for it over in the main android apps forum, but if you're like me, there's enough to read here that you don't venture over there too often. Besides, I didn't find it via XDA anyway. It's pretty cool…lots of 3D effects, and some neat interface touches.

Thanks for sharing this,i went and got it...will play
Can a mod edit this one and the one posted at the same time and combine them?
I gave it a shot. Free is great, but it would be nice if it was more functional. Very Laggy... Not for me, but I recommend everyone try it out.
NICE find dude.
It's pretty good, a bit choppy for me as well, don't know if its the new kernel i just installed which people have been reporting choppyness for a while until it smoothes out or maybe its the launcher?
nonetheless, nice find
So i played around a bit with it and found it a bit to choppy,other than that it looks cool, like the hidden settings and all. But couldnt get over the lagginess :-/
Thank you very much is cool, however I cannot see Google GPS anymore... any idea?

ok just got my touch pro for Sprint love it, but looking for a few things. I have searched and checked around but their are SOOO many diff roms and tweaks I just want a few simple ones and the best and how to.
Any link or info to get the new touch flo look?
and I really wanna improve the sliding bar thing at bottoms speed since tis really sluggish.
I dont want to drastically change anything, just the new touch flo experiance and make the phone faster and perform better.
THanks, really appreciate it.
also a walkthrough on how to apple these would be useful. I am familiar with android but not sure about this.

There is a sticky on unlocking and flashing your phone. Read that. It's thorough and easy to understand. Then if you have questions report back.

As for the ROM....Most folks will tell you to each his/her own but if you want just speed and stability without all of the bling. Juicy8 is the best in my opinion. But it's just that; my opinion. XDA is an awesome site! You may want to check out PPCGeeks as well. Good info there too.
thanks trying to find juicy8 right now to see what it is.
and well what kinda "bling" is offered? besides themes of course. I love the default colors and style etc.. I mean id take a UI upgrade as long as it looks like the HTC one still
I found this INSANE video on Google Nexus One blog.
If you have a Nexus One or a Desire, do yourself a favor and WATCH THIS VIDEO:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or-9T44Bt7M&feature=player_embedded
Has anyone heard about this ROM? Its the MOST INSANE ROM IVE EVER SEEN...It runs SOOO damn fast and smooth, and they have COMPLETELY overhauled the UI. Its INSANE. Its like they took parts of Android, IOS, added an insane Sense-like wrapper on it..and viola....PWNAGE.
Anyone know where it comes from? I have never heard of these guys...but MY GOD its nuts. Whoever they are, these guys have SKILLZ.
See for yourself!! I just hope to God that Gingerbread is that awesome.
Heres a great vid from user Chididdy123 running this amazing ROM. Thanks for this!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBuiWZ8TDBw
Omomo (dev) has also said that "We will release OTA every week. usually it is on Friday evening 8:00 PM (Beijing - time)
I'll give you a link (today) so that you can download latest build from us. But we may delete it one day later because we don't have enough bandwidth to host many users. so please make sure your download it in time".
UPDATE (October 4th)
So guys, I had no idea that the finding of this video would make such MASSIVE noise in the Android community. While I think its a great idea to keep this thread open for problem solving and overall discussion, I would highly advise you to visit the excellent thread started by djmcnz for builds, language packs and changelogs. He has done a great job in keeping the beast that is MIUI accessible for all. His excellent thread can be viewed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789566
Give him and all the people who have put so much work into translations MASSIVE props, as they have done an insane job at making this wonderful ROM accessible and updated for everyone.
You can easily notice that video runs accelerated, seems they did it to make the phone looks like it's running faster that it really is.
Watch it one more time and you'll see what I mean.
That could be man. It does look a bit TOO fast. But you gotta admit, the UI looks nice, and even if you slowed the video down, it seems like it would still run pretty smooth.
I really..REALLY like the UI.
right could we get this to work in english...it would be great!!! looking forward for this.....thanks!
Just another custom launcher...
Looks interesting
I might give it a try later on and report back here
h**p://miui.com/thread-1154-1-1.html
You can download the ROM from this forum thread. I used Chrome to translate it. Downloading now.....
well.. UI is very nice. and the video seems to be accelerated to shorten the length of the video. Anyways... it is still in beta and things will only get smoother and faster as development continues. Nevertheless, the UI is very nice. Will look forward for final release.
downloading as we speak
I was just really suprised when I searched the forums and found 0 results on it. I would be interested in trying it as well.
Let me know how the flash goes if you decide to do it!!

Does anyone know of an android launcher which is like the new Nokia N9?

It just seems like a nice fast way to get around the things you do most often and would be interesting to try it.
Thanks in advance..

Please! Make it so.
Willing to pay for a launcher that would look and behave like the N9 launcher.
it's so awesome
I would too be willing to pay for an android launcher working the same way as Nokia N9.
It would be great!
i have a couple comments on that.
firstly, being a galaxy S user, and having played with the Nokia N9, i can say that my phone, older than the N9, is far smoother and more responsive. Secondly, Meego is a bastardization of Android. The similarities are many, but very few characteristics of Meego measure up to the brilliance of Android.
secondly, the failings of Meego aside, the multitasking in the clip is certainly interesting. However I'm not sure i like the dependence on the side swipe, and the dedication of homescreens to open apps and drawer without folder functionality. It *looks* pretty good, but function-wise, i'm pretty certain that Android would piss me off less.
I like N9 idea too.Android ICS card and swipe would be a nice match.
have you looked at wave launcher which gives you webos up gesture?
That's definitely possible in Android.not sure developers want to develop.
This could be a money maker . . . I'd buy it
An enthusiastic +1 to this idea. I would love to see a project like this realized and I think that this N9-styled idea could be a solid money maker for the right developer. SPB made a killing with their mobile shells, right?
Also, think of all the poor souls stuck with no applications over at Nokia--this could give them enough familiarity and confidence to break their limiting patterns. It's really a mission of mercy.
If anyone has an idea of actions that we could take to move this idea along, or if anyone knows of any progress being made along these lines, please let me know or let us know on the forum.
Infinite flexibility shows that ICS can be whatever devs make of it.
--Me
I've seen a video of someone using "ICS" on a Galaxy S2.
Although I know it's fake, I'd really like to know what launcher it is the person uses.
I've tried GO. I'll try and see what it looks like with ADW. and LP although I don't know if either will work.
www youtube com/watch? v=JTF5kFlefHU& feature=player_embedded#!
^There's the video. I can't post it as a link because this is my first post... :/
See if anyone can figure it out before I can.
-----------EDIT-----------
I think it might be LP the guy's using, he's just moved some icons about.
Search the market for ics launcher
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I've already tried that. It only seems to come up with the theme for ADW/LP/GO. I'll have a look again, though.
---------------
I stand corrected. I just searched again and scrolled a little farther this time.
Found it quickly. Setting up now. Thanks a lot!
Anytime dude It's quite nice I guess
Yeah, I really like the App Menu. It looks a lot nicer than Stock 2.3.5
Hi guys,
Just wanted to make sure i am not wrong, after playing with Launcher on my SGS 3 i came to the conclusion that it's just another Launcher.
I was expecting it to change all the phones themes including dial phone book and so forth, it was a big disappointment especially after waiting 7 days for it to open for the first time.
am i wrong, or what ?
thanks

This is your opinion!
But let's be honest to get your hopes up that high to think an app that don't need root permission can change the look/theme of your whole phone. I think that's the disappointing thing.
If you don't like why not just uninstall job done.
I don't get the point in putting down the app due to your own ignorance. I mean why not take your know how and be the creator of an app that does all that you want it to without root. What's that you can't! That right to do all the things you want you would need root.
I'm sick of seeing posts like this no one say you have to use this or any other app.
Get over it! Uninstall! And walk away!
JOB DONE❇

Calm down. There's no need to get upset over a simple question. OP obviously hadn't understood what the app was for. You could have just answered him politely or ignored the thread. He was only asking a question.

Such an app would require root. Seeing as probably a minority root their phones and mess around with it, I don't think it would be with MyColourScreen's time to produce such an app if they wanted to theme everything. Too much code, too many zips to flash, too much theming in general and whatnot.
This app is good for people that want a good luck on their phone. That being said, half the themes on the themer catalogue looks like crap. A lot of it isn't really special in too many ways. Most of them are just cheap with wallpaper doing too much of the work and not the actual feeling of cleanliness. I also don't find these themes to be functional at all in anyway but you either have simplicity or functionality. It's pretty difficult to have both and that, my friends, is why Aviate launcher exists. :good:
Just my 2 cents.
OP: if you want to try the launcher but don't have it currently installed, I can give you a code for it. PM me if you want it. :highfive:

I can understand where you are coming from, I was let down as well...not so much of the things you are opinionating about. What you are asking will require root It is impossible to change dialers and such without a root. Even with root, will be hard to do unless you are running themer found on CM/AOkP and things of that nature.
I personally expected better themes...I knew themer limitation, just didn't think it will be so limited in themes. But hey, it is just beta
im actually looking forward to the time when "My Colorscreen" type themes are available on Themer. Currently everything is a bit simple - not really my taste. I check new themes every few days and a bit underwhelmed.
Again - it is a beta.

I totally agree
themer actually is good for those looking for laucher with simplicity in mind. I do enjoyed changing the themes everyday if i feel bored. The customization options have been added from times to time. Since this is BETA, it will changes periodically. Nothing much should you expected from the BETA release. If it's doesn't suit you then go for others final release
I see that there's some fighting here... I'll tell my opinion about Themer then hehe...
It's just another launcher? Yes it is! However it's an innovative, yet simple, launcher, which requires you one click to have a completely reborn homescreen. I downloaded it with higher expectations, so indeed I got disappointed, but I believe with more time more themes will come and one will really attend my necessities. Also I really like to customize my things, so using Themer limited it, as I wasn't able to change anything after installed the theme, all I could do was select a new one.
I have a fully customized 5 screen HS on my S4 using NOVA, why did I do this? Simple: I enjoy doing this. Although I know that there are many people out there who says Android is difficult to use/manage, what I saw is that most of them get "scared" of the homescreen, Themer is a great option for those people, click here and there, done it's simple and the way I can use without any problems .
I still see a WIP though, I am not following it too much to tell further, but I imagine it's not complete, one thing that made me stop using a theme that I liked (other than I preferring my current NOVA customization) was that when you try sliding to the extreme while on the last page will happen just like a normal launcher, the same with the app drawer, it's not customized like it is in the homescreen. I used plenty themes, they were all beautifully designed, but this app drawer thing got me in my nerves , sure, I have the same app drawer in my NOVA Launcher, but I customized my homescreen in a way that it still fits!
My 2¢ to this discussion...
And @predatorftp I'll speak again what everyone already said: What you're wanting requires root access and I think the developer isn't interested in losing a huge part of it's users because of it. Maybe someday they can add a special root feature, but for now I believe they are still busy with the developing of app basis.
tl;dr:
Pros:
Simple and beautiful, anyone can use.
Cons:
Limited functionality, themes "half-baked".
Opinion:
I prefer customizing, so I go for customizable launcher for sure.
The app description on Google clearly states what the app is...
As that threads like this will only bring flaming
