This is not my first time asking this but I have had limited response so far.
(Mods if you feel this thread should be deleted because of that feel free)
I think many of us do like the freedom of using other launchers then the stock SE one, but many of the new widgets that came with 2.3.3 only work on the SE homescreen. The timescape widget being the main one, but now also the friends games, music and videos sharing etc...
I would like to request if anyone has any experience or knowledge in this could they have a look at the possibilty of making these widgets available on third party homescreens. I do not have a clue where to begin on this, except to ask for help....
Lets see what can be done...
Many thanks to anyone that tries to help on this.
Regards
Greg
Greg iv wanted that to happen for ages man =)

It's next to impossible, at least for most of the widgets.
If a widget is hardcoded to work on a specific launcher, only thing you could do (and might very well not even work in the first place)
is edit another launcher accordingly to accomodate it.
But that generally is inconvenient as 3rd party launchers available in the Market are updated often.
So, this is a no-go.

Kind of like Occam's Razor: simplest (or in this case, first) answer is the right one.
I was just making this thread when I the suggested threads list showed that it has already been made. Lol. And by who else but my friend Greg himself. Lol

Nope. Actually timescaoe n photo widget are the apps that keep me from moving to other launchers. The spline like effect in both rocks.

No, I don't think so. It's just an home replacement! Install and enjoy
Hi.
Been doing some research, and have another quick question. Is this one like launcher pro and ADW Launcher? How do you compare the three?
Thanks
Yes, exactly. They are all three home replacements. I'm not sure how it works, but I think it runs over the existing homescreen and creates a customize able menu for you to set up with themes and settings.
I have tried this "sweeter home", and I find it a little buggy and hard to work with, but with more things to customize. I think that ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro are better home replacements, they are more stable and very easy to customize...
There is actually many more home replacements out there...
I would recomend you to try them out and find wich one you like the most
I'm using OpenHome at the moment.
Thanks man.

Hehe ty for the link I forgot about this post and the options have changed alot since I last used it I kinda liked the v.1 settings better to this froyo v.2 but its very cool what u can do when u give it some time.
The only thing I am missing in it is the adw desktop effects such as cube and book.

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.

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

Yes, it would. But, since its open source anyone can build and modify it to release with their roms.

I wish there were more themes for this launcher and the ones that are out there didnt cost money. I think this is a great launcher but im not real keen on the theme.
There are many themes for this.

Where? I only see a few and almost all of them are paid skins.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
There are more themes in Google Play than in the built-in theme selector. Maybe that's what (s)he's seeing.
This launcher is cool, but it feels rushed in a few ways. For example, why can't I configure:
Where the MX (Cover screen?) button goes
Where the app drawer icon goes, or its icon (and why isn't it themed?)
The number of docks. I just want the one.
The task killer. I can already open it by long-pressing app drawer. Yet I can't move the dedicated task killer launcher (from dock 2).
The names and colors of the folders in the app drawer. No "Games"? And what is Lifestyle anyway?
The icons on the clock. Yes, I know I can change them, but to select Music, I have to have it launch the stock Blur music app? No thanks, I like the MIUI one, TYVM. Likewise with Contacts, I can't make it open Contapps. Gallery won't open QuickPic. You see where this is going.
The home screen indicator. I'm fine with it being there when I'm changing screens, but all the time? Not feeling it.
Other than that, it is a nice launcher. When placing icons, you get the grid from GO Launcher EX. Also from GO is the home screen configuration (press Home, this lets you add or remove home screens, or move them around). From GO and ADW it has a popup when long-pressing icons; other than being more visually impressive, it adds an Info option which takes you to its page in Settings/Applications (this is good if you want to force close the app, or maybe clear its cache, or remove its defaults).
The settings are also really bare and spread out amongst some confusing labels.
This app has a couple neat ideas. The app drawer and cover screen are nice touches, but the customization is very shallow. It feels like a beta, a work in progress. I'll keep it around because this thing is just dripping with potential.
Since the first release I was so fascinated by this launcher + lockscreen knowing the fact that it was made from the scrap and now look how fast there development in. Truly this is the best launcher i've ever use, so smooth with so much features.
Take a peek if your curious.,
Cool! I never know this launcher until you mention it. I'm gonna try it right away!!

Decorate screen with a variety of styles for shortcuts and widgets.
- Easy and quick access to pages for contacts, bookmarks, application drawer, application group.
- Many useful features of application drawer: showing/hiding app, marking star for favorites apps, changing application icons, uninstalling app and so on
- Create application group and manage list by drag and drop.
- Save and load your theme, page layouts and settings.
its good and all, but it just looks like a watered down go launcher with a different look, And Its not nearly as fast as Go launcher , but this is still in development i guess, so yeah ill stick with go launcher till this gets updated

I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but what exactly is the LGhome3 and what will change if I use one of the one's that where linked above me? I see there is LGhome.JB4.apk and some others. I think i have an idea what LGhome3 is, but i guess im not exactly sure. Lol. Thanks in advance.

LGHome3 is the version of the LGHome Launcher that as far as I know, LG make it for ICS and partially upgraded with the 4.1.2 upgrade (It just add some wallpapers and some basic changes to the widgets). The LGHome.JB4.apk that you saw was a port from somebody in the community to make it available for 4.2 since the other versions FC and wouldn't work properly. Currently that port works partially and for 4.2 and FC when you try some things.
You can also see another version of the LGHome in the market called Simple Home by LGElectronics ( http://goo.gl/7eAVz ) and I think it was the version 2 since it doesn't have an app drawer, don't came with the widgets and it's compatible with Froyo 2.2.
About the themes you were looking for, LGHome has themes since version 2. Some carriers like AT&T block all the themes (I don't know why!) or only left 1 or 2 in their deploy, but they could be found at the Korean and Japanese ROMs.
Looking for a LGHome port to 4.2 I found some themes that work at http://goo.gl/bjjjr
Also found this other page where there's a link to download 10 themes for the LGHome at http://goo.gl/mKeIm
Please take note that to those themes to work properly they have to be installed in the /System/App folder (Need root access) and not in the /Data/App folder where the apps normally install when you use the installation wizard opening the apk directly. The links I provided previously have a very good tutorial of how to install them in a way that they work.
Anyway, LGHome is a very good launcher but if you are looking for another experience about themes and changing the appearance try another launchers like Nova and Apex that will give you a very Nexus 4 feeling and are very good saving battery life. Also you can use Go Launcher that have a lot of free themes. Or if you want to make huge changes or get very different experience check buzz launcher or MiHome that have some really good themes and some crazy stuff.
Go out there and try them all and every time you want to try something different, have more than 1 working launcher installed just in case and make backup of everything you overwrite in case you damage something.
Good luck.
^^ wow. That was one of the best replies I've gotten on here! Excellent! Thank you very much for the great information. That was above and beyond helpful. Thanks again. Cheers :beer:
