Hi,
is there a launcher or theme like the launcher on the Galaxy Tab?
I already tested the launcher of the Dell stage, but it wasn't smooth and the Galaxy Tab stock launcher doesn't work, because of the other resolution.
The theme/launcher should have an appdrawer where the wallpaper can shine through, not black like on the stock launcher.

Give that a shot.
I already tested that launcher and it doesn't fill the screen, only the left side. I think, that's a resolution problem.
Are there any other opportunities?
ADW Launcher EX Iphonish skin.
Thanks, but ADW isn't smooth, too.
Is ADW smooth on your Archos?
Adw launcher EX is much faster as the normal ADW launcher, i use it on my archos 70it 250gb and works great.
I've installed the ADWLauncher EX, but it's not as smooth as the LauncherPro Plus. When I rotate the Archos then go into the app drawer, it's very slow for the first seconds. After that, it's smoother, but not as perfect as the LauncherPro.
Does the ADW Launcher Ex on your Archos is as smooth as the LauncherPro?

LauncherPro is smoother. ADW has nicer transitions etc.

You're right. But in my opinion, smoother scrolling is more important than the design. But ADW has really nice icons and transitions.
Well, I wait for new versions of ADW with a better performance.
I tried most alunchers on my 70 250gb and easily the smoothest and fastest is go launcher, another thing it DOESNT suffer from is the missallignment of screen when first opening home a niggly issue with all other replecement launchers because of soft buttons on Archos , its also the only launcher that seems to like crop wallpaper app , just wish it had more options than 5 x 5 grid
heres hoping
Yes, but it doesn't have the nice Galaxy Tab like theme, has it?

was just reading this thread HOPING to find a launcher that handles the soft buttons without issues. launcherpro and adw are completely broken in how they deal with the off kilter resolution. fast, yes, but not working correctly.
go is good? then I'm going back to go. I used it briefly on a galaxy tab and enjoyed it although foudn it slower than adw ex or launcherpro.

I'll tell you something... after owning a tab for a while - that theme became truly annoying and the tab launcher is frustratingly limited.
I was happy to use any other launcher on my tab.
I acdtually prefer the layout and look of the archos launcher to the galaxy tab launcher. fake iphone launchers like the galaxy tab launcher are actually kind of annoying after a while.
Im using Launcher Pro and desktop visualizer. Never had an issue with resolution (if you mean wallpaper res, use multipicture live wallpaper). Soft buttons work perfectly as well. One tip, make sure you change the rows/ columns so widgets fit properly. Sorry, no root = no screenshots.
have you or anyone here tried shell 3d. it is a 3d launcher. i tried to install it but it failed every time. if anyone has made it work let me know
go launcher imo is the closest to samsung galaxy launcher. the screen previews look identical. and theyre rearrangeable. you can add up to 25-30 homescreens. your best bet.
SPB 3D Shell gives me the same problem, it just fails every time I try to install it, it probably needs the device to be a phone for all the sms widgets n stuff anyways, ADW is probably the one that looks more like the galaxy tab launcher if you customize it a bit, launcher pro is fast but not so customizable, don't like the app drawer in go launcher, currently I'm trying Zeam, it's the best for performanche (Smooth and Fast) but you can't customize it at all almost
Check out the fake launcher I made on my theme.
This Launcher is designed with landscape tablets in mind! (that’s not to say it doesn’t also function well in portrait mode….. as it does).

this one has potential if someone can figure out why it freezes the system durring install
I was just going through de market and found this awesome launcher .. its called REGINA 3D LAUNCHER .. ITS VERY NICE FULL 3D AND NICE WIDGETS .. DO CHECK IT OUT
Just need to wait for a while and it wont be lag, also like its secret workspace very much.
I've been looking for a new launcher for my A101. I find the stock one a bit limited and jerky in its scrolling.
I was wondering what aftermarket ones you had tried and what you thought about them?
I just tried 'Go launcher' and it was smooth and had some great functions. Problem is it only seems to work in Portrait :-(
I also heard about Zeam Launcher unfortunately its not showing in the MArket or AppsLib
I look forward to your thoughts
I use Zeam on my A70, you can get the latest apk from here.

I've been using launcher pro since I got my Desire. Tried a few others on my A101 but came back to this one. Smooth, fast, easily customizable. Only downside in my eyes is that the homescreen reorganisation in portrait is horrible! But, can be locked into landscape.
If it doesn't show up in Market, you can get apk from launcherpro.com..
you should try VTL Launcher. It is the only launcher made to run in landscape. it was designed for tablets. i ave been running it and it rocks. You can get it in the market ( i think it is $1.99) or here(free):
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/vt-labs/vtl-launcher/
launcher pro and zeam are running very well on the archos
i prefer zeam
IMO is the best launcher ADW Launcher; you set up much things just try and you will see it's the best^^
I use VTL launcher too. It's good. Very happy with it.

Wait, what?
LauncherPro only has problems in landscape, and it's easily worked around by switching homescreens back and forth.

Thanks for the tip, this is a great launcher.
I'm using LauncherPro, but about to swith to ADW. I made a couple of launcher review videos a while back, you might want to take a look at them. Ofcourse, many new launchers have been released since then.

Will this launcher run on Archos 101 .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-4k62ln4j4 Tried to install just the launcher, but kept getting FC. Any suggestion
I tried it. it installs and runs but doesnt run right. you get the home screen and can see the widgets but not all the way. and the dock at the bottom doesnt work. all i did was install the apks using astro.
Hi folks,
Just wondering which launcher works best with the 10.1 G8. tried both ADW's and I kinda thought they don't seem optimised for tablet yet especially the EX version. Tried the VTL and didn't really like it, Go Launcher! last tried it on my desire and never really liked it. Any suggestions
Cheers
vtl launcher, in my opinion, is best for tablets. it allows the dock to set at the bottom of the screen and you can theme it with adw and launcher pro themes.
Y I also moved from "launcher pro" which i use on my phone to "vlt" for my 101.
Anyway I noticed a BIG difference in speed from the low res on my phone to the high res on my 101. The drawer especialy is MUCH slower at my 101 then on my phone (htc wildfire 320x240, just 500MHz CPU)
So im giving this thread a try to find something better in speed
Hoped for all those 3D Lauchers but actualy no good and woring one is out atm...
Regina is just portrait atm - SPB sucks - the only hope i got is the Vega 3D Laucher - but i didn't try this yet.
Thanks for your contribution guys but am gonna give this a shot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15957249#post15957249 Will let you know how I get on.
I'm currently using launcher pro, because it is solid and much better then the standard launcher. Ofcourse i do believe there are better ones. But launcher pro is just a nice avarage stable launcher.

I occasionally get application not responding issues in LauncherPro when setting up the icons after a boot. I think the issue is due to the fact that most apps I have have been moved to external storage (with my Force2SD), and it takes longer to fetch their icons. I just click once or twice on "Wait" and they show up eventually, but it's annoying. Maybe LauncherPro is doing something in the wrong thread. Maybe some icon caching would help.
This is just the icon caching. All users that use a SD card has this on the archos. But the launcher does determine how long this wait is. Currently i switched over to a new launcher called "go launcher". Unfortunately Google market wont let archos users download it. Search in the market for it, then go to their site and downlaod it from the developers. Its really different compared to other launchers but runs smooth and many customisations avaible.

I use Zeam launcher and love it, although it doesn't have so many crazy, fancy options, its praised to be the fastest Android launcher
lifehacker.com/5729485/zeam-is-the-fastest-android-launcher-weve-seen-yet
I was with ADW, which was great but i read a post which mentioned Go Launcher and it was much faster than ADW in every way, for example when loading after being killed. Also it has a System Persistent which was the best I've had so far, but ADW beats Go at Themes which i didn't really like on the Go Launcher.

launcher pro
I use adw
@OP It would be great if you could add a poll to this thread better view over the launchers
ADW Ex! It's nice on my Asus EeePad Slider and my Archos 70 IT.
All i don't like is the forced buttons on the left from the Archos ROM. It would be nice if i could hide them on the launcher.
Launcher pro suits my need..

Launcher Pro!
I went for Go Launcher, because I really wanted categorization. Personally, I would have preferred something just like the Palm launcher, and that was the closest I could find.
on my 101it I use ADW Launche EX with ics theme and my custom framework RoTTeNinICE
