Hi,
is there a launcher or theme like the launcher on the Galaxy Tab?
I already tested the launcher of the Dell stage, but it wasn't smooth and the Galaxy Tab stock launcher doesn't work, because of the other resolution.
The theme/launcher should have an appdrawer where the wallpaper can shine through, not black like on the stock launcher.

Give that a shot.
I already tested that launcher and it doesn't fill the screen, only the left side. I think, that's a resolution problem.
Are there any other opportunities?
ADW Launcher EX Iphonish skin.
Thanks, but ADW isn't smooth, too.
Is ADW smooth on your Archos?
Adw launcher EX is much faster as the normal ADW launcher, i use it on my archos 70it 250gb and works great.
I've installed the ADWLauncher EX, but it's not as smooth as the LauncherPro Plus. When I rotate the Archos then go into the app drawer, it's very slow for the first seconds. After that, it's smoother, but not as perfect as the LauncherPro.
Does the ADW Launcher Ex on your Archos is as smooth as the LauncherPro?

LauncherPro is smoother. ADW has nicer transitions etc.

You're right. But in my opinion, smoother scrolling is more important than the design. But ADW has really nice icons and transitions.
Well, I wait for new versions of ADW with a better performance.
I tried most alunchers on my 70 250gb and easily the smoothest and fastest is go launcher, another thing it DOESNT suffer from is the missallignment of screen when first opening home a niggly issue with all other replecement launchers because of soft buttons on Archos , its also the only launcher that seems to like crop wallpaper app , just wish it had more options than 5 x 5 grid
heres hoping
Yes, but it doesn't have the nice Galaxy Tab like theme, has it?

was just reading this thread HOPING to find a launcher that handles the soft buttons without issues. launcherpro and adw are completely broken in how they deal with the off kilter resolution. fast, yes, but not working correctly.
go is good? then I'm going back to go. I used it briefly on a galaxy tab and enjoyed it although foudn it slower than adw ex or launcherpro.

I'll tell you something... after owning a tab for a while - that theme became truly annoying and the tab launcher is frustratingly limited.
I was happy to use any other launcher on my tab.
I acdtually prefer the layout and look of the archos launcher to the galaxy tab launcher. fake iphone launchers like the galaxy tab launcher are actually kind of annoying after a while.
Im using Launcher Pro and desktop visualizer. Never had an issue with resolution (if you mean wallpaper res, use multipicture live wallpaper). Soft buttons work perfectly as well. One tip, make sure you change the rows/ columns so widgets fit properly. Sorry, no root = no screenshots.
have you or anyone here tried shell 3d. it is a 3d launcher. i tried to install it but it failed every time. if anyone has made it work let me know
go launcher imo is the closest to samsung galaxy launcher. the screen previews look identical. and theyre rearrangeable. you can add up to 25-30 homescreens. your best bet.
SPB 3D Shell gives me the same problem, it just fails every time I try to install it, it probably needs the device to be a phone for all the sms widgets n stuff anyways, ADW is probably the one that looks more like the galaxy tab launcher if you customize it a bit, launcher pro is fast but not so customizable, don't like the app drawer in go launcher, currently I'm trying Zeam, it's the best for performanche (Smooth and Fast) but you can't customize it at all almost
Check out the fake launcher I made on my theme.
This Launcher is designed with landscape tablets in mind! (that’s not to say it doesn’t also function well in portrait mode….. as it does).

this one has potential if someone can figure out why it freezes the system durring install
ok i searched for this question but i found nothing...is there anyone swho knows about, seen it,or can take away all the home screens and leave only one? i think the dubwst thing is not being able to reduce the amount of pages...
THX in advanced
You have to use a third party launcher like ADW or LauncherPro. Stock ICS doesn't allow you to add or remove homescreens.
ADW or launcher pro will work great, but will make it look like gingerbread again.
Use Apex, Nova, or Trebuchet launcher to maintain the stock ICS look but have customization options.
i was going to suggest the same!
Why not Nova Launcher keep the ics feel?

Apex launcher is fine, in my opinion is extremely fluid.
to root your device read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505172
A launcher is a question of taste:
If you want ICS/JB look and feel and overall decent stability/features, go for Apex, Atom or Holo Launcher
If you want something with a lot of bells and whistles, but a little sluggish, try Go Launcher.
If you want nice 3D eye candy, go for MX Launcher or SPB launcher.
If you want super minimalistic, old school look and feel, try Launcher Pro or ADW launcher.
If you want something funky, really fast and a different overall approach to launchers, try TSF Launcher.
If you want MetroUI (WinPhone7), go for Launcher 7
If you want Sense, change phones. Or get ADW/Go Sense themes + Agile Lock + Beautiful widgets with sense theme...
Otherwise, Touchwiz has a few variants out there, Touchwiz UX standalone launcher is in the forums somewhere and theoretically, the Jellybean ROM might get a touchwiz UX revamp soon.
so i got my kindle rooted, but those icons in that wheel are huge! any way to get them to be smaller?
Dont think there is. There are many threads about on how to install alternative launchers but so far none on modding the existing launcher
Not a big fan of the carousel either, alternative launcher is what i will try.
