I've been using the TW Launcher from Bi-winning on Malice 2.3 and some other ROMS. but somehow when i try to push that Launcher on Cm7/MIUI, it does not install. Is it because its not compatible? Can someone please tell me how to do it? I usually just use Root Explorer to copy the apk to system/app and its installed already when i press Home. Thanks alot and sorry for the noob question
I don't think it is compatible seems to me I remember another posting talking about this. You might go with launcher pro or ADW ex both are awesome or... if you really want bells and whistles spb you can try out free from applanet site

Hi All,
Since most of us have been moving to US Tmob and GB froyo, the blur launcher has been tweeked and made to work like a gem. It is really smooth and I do not find necessity to go to Launcher Pro.
Walter had previously put out a themed blur launcher like this one for his MS2 ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743372
Unfortunately it cannot be used on these froyo builds. Can anyone please theme the stock launcher please?.
I tried many times on all froyo builds to make the themed launcher work but could not do so. Walter had given a zip file to install it from CWM but that kept bricking the phone and I had to use alternate launcher to keep the phone running and flash an sbf.
Can anyone do that pleaaase ?
Im with you on this one too. I actually like the original blur launcher but it would be nice if you could actually change the assignment of the right hand button to go to text messaging or setttings etc..
Wondering where walter is these days. He can help if he sees this.

build number 12821
Can anybody help me with this
I use adw launcher and it has many themes in the market! Hope this helps also zedge has good wallpapers for the streak its a nice app
Me too have not seen any direct ready_to_install themes.
You have to go through the Launchers.
ADW
Go
Pro Launcher​You install either of these and you can download themes for these from the market.
But, I think you need to buy them, to be able to theme and all other stuff (thats bit advanced, like settings, etc.)
Cheers,
Sony.
have a look at the Screenshot thread (in theme and apps section)
and there people have written what they used/have_done to get the "theme".
It needs work to be done. not easy-peasy though.
But, the results are awesome!
I feel like I will be and maybe deservedly so slapped for this but can somebody tell me if the "[MOD] [Universal] 02/26/11 CM7 GB Stock Launcher / CM7 GB Mod 3.0" thread also applies to the Atrix?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933517 is what I'm talking about.
If it is determined that I should have been able to find the answer by searching, please PM me the answer and delete the thread. Many thanks in advance.
I do see "Universal" and so I feel like this is a dumb question but I don't want to mess my phone right now as I'm liking CM7 a lot and have been using for a while.
Backup and try it.
It should work

Do you want the stock Gingerbread launcher (launcher2.apk)?
First go here
Then thank the op
Then enjoy the stock Gingerbread launcher with working 3D scroll.
BTW this is the only stock Gingerbread launcher that I have found to actually work with 3D scroll and clear icons. Usually it is off set to the side and has blurry ugly icons.
Thanks a lot. I will give that a try. I guess it looks like the launcher is not so phone dependent just like most other apps?
It fit like a glove. Thanks very much.
Hi guys, i want to buy a Samsung Galasy S3 but sincerly i don't like so much the Touchwiz GUI so i wonder if someone can say me if there is a way in order to delete Touchwiz with a Custom Rom or other way... I also wonder if someone can say me if the timestamp message is time of Message Sent or Message recive i explain well because my english isn't perfet (i'm italian) if i have phone power off and someone send me a message at 6:00pm, when i puwer on phone at 8:00pm and i read message, will i see the 6:00 pm in timestamp or 8:00pm ???
I hope you can forgive me for my bad english, thanks guys you're all a great people, i have only to learn from you
I ASK ADMIN IF GENTLY THEY CAN MOVE THIS THREAD, PLEASE.
Why do XDA even bother on creating a Q&A subsection in the forums...
sorry i didn't see i was in General, now i want to move post in right session or repost in correct session, but i don't find the way for delete this, how can i? sorry again.
Now to answer your question. There are many launchers you can use if you don't like touchwiz. Just install and when you hit the home button it will ask you which launcher you want to use. Check the block to make it your default and then choose the launcher you want.

Just Flash It !!!
Thanks for the answere, i know this way, but if i change launcher GUI keep the touchwiz or touchwiz is only the Launcher? i ask this because i think Touchwiz by samsung is inside the system and it take a lot of space and i don't think a launcher take so much space. maybe in a custom rom we can recover the space used by touchwiz and use if for other thing, maybe a smoother and lighter rom for SGS3 will improve performance. How about SMS timestamp?
You probably are referring to the touchwiz launcher. You can replace the launcher with apex or nova which are "stock vanilla ICS" launchers that include options to customize it. Apex is a better choice if you want a free launcher with many features...but if you want to buy nova prime I would recommend that.
The new touchwiz has some nice features, and replacing the launcher won't get rid of them.

laastan Regalia,
I've got a Nexus one and i tried to install ICS in order to try some launcher, i agree with you as Nova is the best, i will buy it but before i want to try use the Touchwiz, maybe i'll like ite... it isn't very bad as the Gingerbread stock launcher XD
Hello
I'm a big fan of Samsungs Hardware but never liked touchwiz. The hings that annoy me most are the launcher and the Email(Exchange) App.
Is there a way to use the Vanilla ICS pendants without switching completely to cyanogen (when it once will be available)? I would like too keep the few nice add ons by Samsung.
Thx for hints
You could try an alternative ICS launcher such as Nova https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en. Hope that helps some.
An alternative launcher will definitely get you away from much of the touchwiz experience but you will still be stuck with Samsung's email, calendar, etc apps. Take a look in the SGS3 Themes and Apps section. I believe someone there has created a flashable zip to replace the Samsung stock apps with the ICS ones.
Thanks both of you. Nova does the trick for now.
I also flashed the ICS Email but it did not want to work. Guess I'll wait for CM then.
cheers
