I know Titanium Backup will re-install all of my apps, but is there anything that will place all of my apps & widgets?? I want to flash an new rom, but not so much of a fan of re-placing all of my apps & widgets on my home screens.
Adw will save your desktop layout, minus widgets.
Don't know about any other launchers, as I have no experience with them

Which launcher is the best?
Unfortunately I don’t believe there’s away to restore widgets without having to manually go back and add them. Launcher Pro is also an excellent home replacement.

What color is the best? Who is hotter Mila Jovovich or Rue Paul? Who makes crappier cars, Chevy or Dodge?
It's all personal preference, there are free versions of almost all launchers on the market, try adw, launcherpro, go launcher, etc. have fun

So... any of you guys tried this? I haven't been running it today, no need at this point with MikShift, but if/when I go back to AOSP-based roms, it will definitely be my launcher of choice, especially if they continue to develop and include matching widgets for each Launcher interface.
Thought I'd put the word out, it's quite a nifty home replacement. Find it on XDA or Market.

I kinda like launcher7..ish..in the android hacking section there's an entire post dedicated to it and images and all..really cool stuff

I was trying out "MYLAUNCHER" that's free in the market. I gotta say, it's not that bad. Still in beta though and in the early stages so not much in the settings menu...
Back to ADW for me for the time being...
Yeah, seemed really boring. Just different docks, right? I think that's supposed to be part of the appeal but it wasn't for me.

If they do decide to include widgets to match the different docks, (sense, blur, touchwiz styled) then it'll be amazing.

Just tried it. Not too bad. I hate horizontal scrolling app drawers but I like the sort options and being able to reorder the apps. The animated trash can opening up eager for my junk was cool too.

Yes, it would. But, since its open source anyone can build and modify it to release with their roms.
If someone wantexd to do that and include widgets, I don't see the harm.

Hi there,
Do anyone know if it's possible to remove the Buttom pop-up bar.
I'd like to use WizzBar, but after installing Wizzbar, I now have the default one and Wizzbar poping up :-(
Sorry but no there is no way to remove it.

I am incorrect, I just noticed a new app.
How do you change the icons on this thing (task manager, calendar, world clock etc)? Surely it's configurable ....

That's terrible Are there any mods or anything to get rid of it, or force changes or something? That's pretty weird that they didn't just make it configurable. What's the thinking behind that?
I am just guessing but I don't believe the "mini" apps on the touchwiz taskbar are like regular apps. Regular apps can't be used in a multitasking way like the touchwiz "mini" apps on the taskbar, which is why you can't place your own apps there. I believe Samsung would have to develope more "mini" apps first.
If you get one of the android launchers from the market like launcher pro or adw ex, they each have docks that you can place your own apps on. On adw ex you can even have the dock rise up and disappear like touchwiz's taskbar.

The pop-up touch wiz/apps bar is just annoying I only ever use it for task manager I wish you could not have it and just have tas man as an app or widget. The bar only over pops up when I accidentaly press it when playing a game. It's totally rubbish since the apps are not configurable.
Samsung take it off and/or make it configurable it's the biggest bug bear I have with Samsung tabs.

Thats really sucks
Are launchers good or bad? Because I want to use one so i can REALLY customize my sgs2, but I want to know some things first.
Do they drain a lot of battery?
Do they slow down the Sgs2 at all?
Have you had any bad experiences with them? (I don't mean weather you disliked them or not, I mean crashes, problems, etc.)
Thanks so much!
No...some launchers drain battery a lot especially 3d launchers...
Try go launcher ex
Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using XDA App
I have no interest in any other launcher besides Go. Using it for a month now, fantastic customisation options, and it DOESN'T drain any battery, I can bet it. Other than Go, Nemus Launcher is also there, but still needs a lot of improvement.
Oh, it will not slow down your device at all.
No they are good they don tdrain battery

Oops meant to press quote, but you could try using the stock HC launcher. I like that the best out of all the ones I've tried
I basically have 3 issues with it #1 wasted screen real estate, #2 no folder support, and and #3, can't delete unused home screens

I think he meant the stock honeycomb launcher, not the stock htc launcher. The stock honeycomb launcher does not have wasted space, the other two I'm not sure about.
Ah yeah I saw a "t" in there that wasn't there lol. Yeah I saw the team syndicate one and I tried it out, only problem is it was kinda designed for gb and froyo so it has a virtual notification bar that can't be disabled... However that was the free version it might be able to be disabled on the paid I dunno. Anywhere on XDA I could just grab the apk for the actual stock launcher and install it?

It's in my ROM. If you don't want to download the whole thing for the launcher i could just link it to you
Yeah I might eventually go custom rom, I've had plenty of experience with my captivate , but for now I think I'm just going to stay stock for the time being with the flyer, so if you want to link it thats cool. Thanks!

GO Launcher EX is good. Has lots of features that most Launchers don't
But I always miss the glorious sense widgets that you cannot get any where else.
Honestly I've warmed up to the sense launcher a bit. Its basic and bare but the cool animations and awesome sense widgets make it worth using. As far as real estate, Go launcher HD had the issue too, just seems to be a honeycomb thing so whatever really. Think I'll just stick with Sense for now!
yea go launcher HD (beta) is a nice alternative to the stock or htc launchers for sure. just started using it today and really like the folder support
it's not on the market u'll have to search around for it
Yeah I found it from a google search, had a download link,and thats how I got it
Yeah I tried Go Launcher HD and it certainly a beta. Need lots of work.

the stock launcher is pretty bland, I would highly recommend Go Launcher EX or ADW over that if you want a different launcher.

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
