I've been using GO Launcher for a while now, it's by far the best out there. Only strange thing i noticed is that with GO Launcher EX you need to install a separate module in order to have missed call and message notifications down in the dock.
Can you organize apps into different categories?

No but u can put them into folders.
Awsme launcher thanx
I've tried other launchers and this is the only one moving smoothly on my Optimus. In addition to that it has icon personalization and you can make those annoying never-used apps disappear in your app menu.
it has enough customization options and the battery use is quite low. A must-have!
very good ...... n.n
Go Launcher EX in my opinion has to be the best one out there.
I am one of the people who actually enjoyed Touchwiz at first....well, until my app drawer reached over 10 pages (That's 160 apps and I even had the bloatware hidden with TiBackup)
Anyways. I have just this completely crazy and awesome thing going with Go Launcher on my phone. The best thing is, I've gone from 10 pages all the way down to 4. This launcher has so much customization and features, and on top of it all, it runs extremely fast.
I have posted several screens of what I have done on my phone using Go Launcher as well as just some screens so people can see it and understand it more.
The 1st is a preview of the ui swiping side to side, the 2nd is all my home screens, the 3rd is what the new app drawer looks like (notice the folders INSIDE the app drawer), the 4th is just all the options I have on my main home screen. The 5th and 6th Images are showing how you can switch the dock back and forth. The 7th is showing the modded facebook app available here on the XDA and my personal mod of the Picture Dial widget. And the last is the Screen Shortcut Screen (when you pinch the screen at home).
I hope you all enjoy.
NOTE: The "theme" I have is purely from the customization features I had available. I did not mod it at all (with the exception of one widget) nor did I actually create a theme for the Launcher like those which are available for ADW.
You can find almost all of what you see via internet. I had to photoshop a few icons (you'll notice them on the screen shots showing my different dockbars as those images are more recent).
gunna have to give this one a try adw launcher just isnt cuttin it for me any more
Using 2.3.2 Mur4ik ROM what I find is that Home Manager shows both Go Launcher EX and stock launcher are running at the same time, stock can take up to 40mb RAM, and second that for Go Launcher EX, so I've changed to stock because I want more mem and when I AutoKill stock then Go launcher Running tab says there's more ram.
How can I customize stock 2.3 launcher?
I need to change number of screens to 3 from 5, I don't need more.
Is there any way to create folders in menu instead in "desktop" only?
Screen transistions are not my priority, but Go Launcher is much user friendly anyway, and allows quick access to most commonly used options by me.
Yeah just hold one app and drag ontop of another to put them both in a folder

How much memory did you say Go Launcher used up? when I'm in it's app drawer tab and kill everything I can only get a max of about 150 out of a possible 303Mb
I will say that you can clear up some memory if you "Freeze" your default launcher using Titanium Backup.
Oh and one of the coolest things about Go Launcher is that since I made a Titanium Backup of it before changing Roms, when I got my phone back up and running again, all I had to do was go into Go Launcher's Preferences, scroll down and hit restore configuration (I had made a back up, can't forget that) and all my custom icons were restored. I had to add my widgets back manually, but that wasnt too big of a deal (I didn't make a titanium backup of that, but I think you can).
...hold on, actually Titanium Backup just restored all my apps, the Go Launcher's configuration is completely separate from titanium backup. GO Launcher creates it's own folder on your SD card for it's backups. It's pretty cool.
Soooo..... has anyone happened to have talked to the developer or anything to find out about making custom themes? I haven't had any experience making themes for other launchers, but I'd like to give a shot at making one for Go Launcher and I haven't seen anything on how to make one unfortunately.
nice but crashes too frequently
for my it is the best launcher for now, and in the oficial page says that it going to have customs themes
Is there any way to decrease the number of screens? I find it incredibly irritating to see have 5 screens, I only need and use 2.
I found GO Launcher to work best with stock 2.1. There are buch of themes for it, but only several of them are good for me.

I am wondering what are some apps and widgets to get to improve my phone and make me like it more. Just want to have some fun but don't know what to get. I have a galaxy note
I like flipboard, there's a thread in this forum with an APK that works on GB. Temple run is nice on the larger screen thats available in the play store. Outside of that it depends on what you're interested in, social media, gaming, etc.
Multipicture live wallpaper. It lets you set a different wallpaper for each home screen. I have them tailored to the Office, Music, Movies, Modding, and Photography.
If you really want to have some fun Google Motorola Xoom Hubs and check out the videos of hubs being set up on Android devices.
Get a different Launcher. That alone gives you tons of great tweaking options.

I would start with the basics first.. .like handcent sms, beautiful widgets, Adw ex launcher for fully customizing the home launcher.........maybe you should help us by being a little more specific in your guest of app or widgets...so we know what you have first to begin ....we all could be naming the same things you have if we have that info to go by.
Hi! I look for information on the Internet but did not find much about it.
It is possible to put ads in a theme for Go Launcher Ex?. For example AdMob?. Someone made the test?.
I don't know if this is the right place for the post!.
Thanks!
if you want to see the theme GO Launcher EX you can go to his theme Play Google there are numerous and include sya've tried it
No, I want to know is if I can put advertising in my themes for Go Launcher.
Recently I was exploring the possibility of making themes for Go Launcher (or similar, but I think Go Launcher is the most widespread), and I realized (we must not be very rogue) you can make some money with them.
Does anyone know how to sell themes, or someone has experience with these issues?
Yes. I know if people making theme chooser themes and themes for other apps like go launcher. You must make a theme that is worth money and you will make money. Just submit to play store. Build a reputation first.
[ LG NEXUSâ´ / LIQUIDSMOOTH / FRANCO / POETIC BLK BUMPER / APEX PRO / TAPATALK PRO ]
Yeah what he said ^^^^^
Its possible you could It would have to be something that everybody likes and
that goes well with the phone.Also i reputation is good otherwise nobody might
see it ^_^
If you are doing it to make money then you are here for the wrong reasons. Also I would pick a different set of apps to theme for. The go apps are not the best (full of security holes) and more and more people are sick of the bloat and moving to other apps.

in regards to Go Theme creation and Apex Theme Creation. Is there any type of themes that would be off the table for commercial use?..I've made tons of Go Themes but I've never submitted them as I don't care for the companies shifting practices (deep sixing the PC Theme Creator client and the web sms feature that made go sms unique without telling anyone)
I've made themes from all kinds of Anime and Video Game Characters. And the Themes i've been seeing in the Play Stores that are based on anime (and some on video game ) themes have usually been removed.
Apologies if this is the wrong forum, I was unsure where to post it as the MIUI rom is not fixed to one phone in particular...
I have just flashed MIUIv5 for my HTC one X phone, absolutely love the rom, the graphical user interface and just about everything.
Unfortunately I am struggling with the launcher. I really love the launcher, but not being able to edit the shortcuts or change the icons with a few clicks is a killer. All the big third party launchers offer this simple feature. Quite a few third party apps end up with ugly icons with a background.
Can anyone recommend an MIUIv5 style launcher that could allow me to edit the icon/app short cuts on the desktop? I have played with Nova, Apex, Holo and they all get close with the various icon packs but the layout just doesn't look the same. I don't need an app drawer either so the MIUI launcher would have been perfect but for the icon/app issue.
Also, as much as I love this rom, many of the system apps installed I really do not or would not use. Coming from CM and AOSP roms, I would prefer not to have the system monitor apps, root monitor apps, app control, MI credit, cloud and whatever non essential apps. I would prefer it more like a bare bones rom. So my question, which of these system apps can I remove without causing rom instability? I like to install apps, play in root etc without multiple warnings, notifications for this and that.
Otherwise, fantastic stuff. I can see me being an MIUI user for a long time.
