[Request] Gingerbread launcher with seven home screens - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running the latest CM7 nightly on my Droid Incredible. I have the paid versions of both ADW and Launcher Pro, but at the end of the day I always go back to the stock Gingerbread launcher. It's fast, minimal, and it just works. My only complaint is that that launcher2 only has five home screens, and I would like seven. A Google search brought me to a launcher2 mod over on XDA that has seven home screens, but whenever I press the phone shortcut I get a message telling me that "this application is not installed on your phone" (the mod is from the Samsung Epic 4G, I believe it's looking for the Touchwiz dialer and not the stock Gingerbread dialer). Would it be possible to mod the stock Gingerbread launcher to have seven screens and a working phone shortcut?

Did you try to push the file using root explorer or just install the apk the normal way... the instructions say to push it via root explorer.
Hit thanks if I helped please!

I pushed with root explorer. I think the problem is that the launcher is looking for the Touckwiz dialer, not the stock Gingerbread dialer.

Did you change permissions ?

Could also create a version with 3 homescreens instead? Would appreciate it immensely

I've been using my new launcher since yesterday and it's great, though I've found one small problem. starts, like when I power my phone back on in the morning, the widgets on the two home screens on the far right disappear. Again, this is a small problem and other then than that the launcher works perfectly.

Can you try clearing launcher data? That may fix it.

I cleared launcher data and unfortunately the problem still persists.
EDIT-The widgets also disappear if I connect my phone to my computer and turn on USB storage.

K. Could be some code I missed. Will look at it later. Although I'm pretty sure widgets were sticking on screen 6 fine for me earlier when I was using it.

long press on the dock shortcut you would like to edit, change the shortcut, then choose launcherpro icons and there will be icons for the sense dock.

Hi Dan, I checked there, but there was no icon for the app drawer up arrow for the right side. Also, there is no icon that has the + sign. Any ideas?
Re more dock icons... before flashing this theme, i had been using simply galaxy and just extracted the launcher pro apk from this, removed the one I had and installed.
I'm pretty sure I had more icons that way if anyone wants to try that method. I remember more left and right choices... I'm running the flash now on bi and no need to redo it but... if you are seeking more icons, this may be an option

Is it still the sense LP? Can you give the link to the simply galaxy? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973208 The one here shows that it has Touch Wiz and the Gingerbread launcher.
I had used the sense lp from this thread on simply.galaxy.... it doesn't come with it.

Small Clock Widget Sensation XL? (SOLVED)

Is it possible to get the smaller version of the clock widget that is on the Sensation XL version of sense 3.5
EDIT they have the clock in the new sense ics roms!
I have tried a few methods from the Sensation forum and none of them have worked for me. I can get it to install and show up under widgets but it will not show up on my home screen. I am running a custom rom. I think maybe our screen resolution has something to do with it??

Although you would have to purchase it, just get Beautiful Widgets from the market. It has everything that you would need. That's a 4x1 widget that's included with BW. You can also get tons of skins to make it look how you want.

I noticed the ICS leaks have this widget. Is there anyone that can port it to Gingerbread?
I would like this too. I've seen it on the ics roms and I had it on some gingerbread roms on the evo 4g when they were making sense 3.0 roms for it.

Best launcher for MIUI?

Hey guys, what's the best launcher for MIUI? Something that fits in, doesn't look out of place. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
i feel MIUI is equipped with ADW or Go Laucher is great. and the slide up to Lock is my favorite. but ADW cant invisible apps in apps drawer is its drawback. so i chose Go launcher.
GoEx. Have used it since day one with Miui. Install it, freeze the stock launcher & enjoy

[Q] Is this ICS?

I have seen many ICS versions and they all have 5 thumbnails..Why does mine have four?
what thumbnail?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Sir, are you referring to the column of icons that can be placed on your screen?
Yes I am talking about how after you unlock your phone and there are buttons such as contacts and applications. I updated mine through Odin and there are only 4 buttons not five as I usually see on ICS and graphically ithasn't changed much also I am now having problems with my WIFI button on the pull down notification place. It seems I may have installed a crap firmware

use a custom launcher if you want more than 4
It sounds like you installed the official Samsung ICS update, which has TouchWiz. Which will have 4 dock shortcuts. But were expecting the AOSP launcher, which has 5 dock shortcuts. As RoRo1990 said, just install a launcher. Like Apex or Trebuchet.
EDIT: Also, you should note that official Samsung releases, since they have TouchWiz, won't look too different from the previous version.

Bean's Mods ( 5x4 Launcher, more to come )

figured id post some of the universal/unthemed mods i make as i create my rom..
all of these are made with the shipped VRALJB apps/framework this is not taking other apps from different phones these are fresh mods..
u will have to use a root explorer and move these to /system/app or /system/framework and then delete the .odex version of the file(temporary til we get recovery)
first up is 5x4 launcher
download: http://myandroidfiles.com/beanstown106/i605/vraljb/mods/SecLauncher2.apk
move to /system/app and then delete SecLauncher2.odex
more will follow as they are made

Thank you, but the problem was actually me being a moron and thinking using es file explorer with root access turned on would work the same as root explorer. It set up the new launcher with the wrong access permissions. i restored my backup of the original launcher with TiBU and tried it again with root explorer and now it works perfectly!
