I notice that the wallpaper (any live wallpaper I try) does not scroll.... is there somewhere where you can set that on sense 3?
no you can not activate that, until we get root, and maybe not even then. They stopped that feature

Alternative launchers still have it, so you'll get it with LauncherPro, SPB Shell, etc..

They didn't "stop that feature". The launcher scrolls seamlessly and wraps around. The wallpaper would look terrible if it scrolled, like it does on alternative launcher with wraparound scrolling.

that's because you're running a different launcher. that doesn't count when it's in reference to the stock launcher

Has anybody found a way to replace the app drawer for a rooted user? I dislike the screen based grid and would rather have a scrolling grid.

Get Go launcher EX from Market it is free it have 5-7 types ( you can change theme also I use Honeycomb theme with it)
In the Market, type in 'launcher', there are loads of replacements which have loads of settings etc.
I recommend launcher pro, or launcher7.
Launcher7 is really sexy
Thanks for the suggestions, but these change the GUI more than I want. I only want an app drawer replacement.

In that case I'd go with 'ravitejas' suggestion of Go Launcher. It looks similar to touchwiz and you can change the app draw to scrolling type. It just takes a bit of messing about with lots of settings...
Or if you'd like an actual list of apps you can press menu when you're in the app drawer and select list view...

Unfortunately, my Galaxy S II does not have the list view for some reason. That would have been a decent solution. Oh well.. can't make the phone the same in every market it seems.
What about solutions that work with rooting? I did root the phone awhile back, hoping that I could use this to my advantage. So far, no real use.
Weird that yours doesn't have a list view option...
Can't help you beyond stock rom I'm afraid, haven't rooted...haven't seen any real need to...

The problem is you want to replace part of the launcher program but not the whole thing. Root or not it's hard to replace "half a program". Someone could probably, theoretically at least, hack the program apart and replace it that way but that's a lot of effort.
Are you sure you don't have list view? Open the app menu and hit menu
Pick a launcher, i recommend launcher pro or ADW EX (far better than standard ADW launcher)

For all you all, Nova Launcher does in fact work great with the Prime tablet. Just set the home screen grid to 10 columns by 7 rows for proper sized layouts, and i would stick to the cube or none transition.
but it does work great! just so everyone knows. (not a fan of adw, personally)
i've been using it as well, and i agree it works great, super fast and much cleaner looking than adw imo.
i've been using a 10x8 layout personally.
I use Nova too. I actually hadn't gotten around to changing the layout because I like my screen bare. But I'll have to try that. So far I like it the best, pretty quick.
Dock not showing up
Am I doing something wrong? I can't figure out why the dock isn't showing up. Anyone run into this problem?
why do you say it works great?
the icon labels doesnt show in landscape mode, the card stack transition is messed up. hardly can say working great...
however i do agree it has great potential and worth keeping an eye out for.
it has some issues, but it runs very fast and doesn't have any issues that are showstopping.
I really like it! thanks for this post!

Same here!!! Is hidden because of the tablet config???
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is due to the device type... Tablets = No dock by default. This may change with future releases of the Nova launcher.

The icon labels only show up when there is enough room for them, I've got my desktop grid set to 7 Rows and 8 Columns and they show up fine. If you add anymore rows, the labels dissappear.
The only problem I have with Nova is that the wallpaper is zoomed regardless of how I crop it. Anyone else have this issue?

Yes, I also had this problem with ADW launcher EX.
EDIT: you can use "PicSpeed HD Wallpapers" from the market to set the wallpaper correctly.

it has to do more with how HC/ICS handle wallpapers over the launcher, i use the multipicture lwp and it sets them properly.
ok guys... seriously.
NovaLauncher is a modified stock launcher. notice you don't have a dock on your stock launcher on your ICS tablet. well.. that's why you don't have one in NL either. tablet's don't have launchers unless you get a 3rd party launcher that forces one on a tablet, like adw. even launcher pro does it but not well.
secondly i can say that it works great because it does. don't use the card transition. the icons labels DO appear in landscape, just depends on how many ROW you are using in your grid.
why don't you do some investigating and trying things out before flaming the app. it does have great potential, but it also works great NOW!. it's better than the stock launcher, and personally i dislike ADW. so cada loco con su tema.

Picspeed still zooms the wallpapers with adequate ex for me, how do you get it to set right?

You won't find it on the marketplace. Grab it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071. Just download and install the NovaLauncher_beta.apk that's all you need. It quite good. Oh one quick hint... Once you installed use Titanium Backup to convert the app into a system app, that way the widget will preview properly as your ICS stock launcher.
By the way... is in fact the best launcher for ICS so far...
Nope Apex Lauchher is better ^

the solution i've discovered for wallpapers is that it must be at least the 1920x1408 for a tablet. doesn't matter which app you use

Doesn't work as wallpaper scrolling doesn't seem to work.

I am also interested to see if anyone can get it working.

Yes....scrolling is an issue with most Launchers on our Note....aShell launcher is the only launcher I have been able to get scrolling to work.
You could try using aShell for this setup, it is based on ADWEx.
i'll save the $ for now i reckon & stick with Zeam until something visually stunning comes along
I've got almost everything setup with a 3D UI on my Telus Note using Go Launcher EX. Like the rest of you, the only thing that doesn't work is the scrolling wallpaper.
Scrolling works find on GoLauncher. I had to disable and re-enable but then it worked just fine.
Also at the end of the vid he states that if you add a new homescreen it messes it up.

Can someone describe what's going on when you try and swipe between home screens?
Do the icons move with the adw ex transition but the wallpaper doesn't (stays static)?
Make sure you have wallpaper scrolling enabled in adw ex settings.
I may have the completely wrong idea but that's what it kind of sounds like..
lol it's a great UI once you get it going, trust me!

My note works fine with the ADWLauncher EX. The Facebook widget works great i just need to get the font like Cold Fustion. Also the Font for the Calendar. The background on these wont go away as i dont see the options to get rid of them. Other than that the scrolling is fine. Just enable the Scrolling Wallpapers and your good.
Yea wallpaper scrolling is a lot more fluid on the international version. Are you rooted?

I just find this really strange..
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.

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.
Does anyone know of a way to lock the stock launcher desktop. I know I can change launchers that have that feature. But I want to keep stock.

Yes, Nova has this feature - - which is great for friends with fumble fingers.
Why keep stock launcher when Nova has that, and more, like icon packs, shadows under icons, different transitions, landscape movement across screens...
I can see keeping stock firmware instead of custom ROM, but keeping stock launcher? Come on, don't be silly.

I just want to keep it things simple as possible and fast. But your prolly right will try the launcher again.
