a skin or theme for 3.6 is usless if we dont even have a rom for it
Launcher for Sense 3.0 and above is almost impossible as it requires some complex scripting. no luck no were

Like, it doesnt have to be sense but have that look. Like ICS Go launcher its not ics but it looks like it is.
Phoenix Launcher gives you a taste of it. But its still buggy as its still in development stages. Also it should be pushed as a /system/app so you can put widgets on the screen.
If you can get ICS Launcher from the market to work then that also gives you a taste.
I wouldn't recommend either launcher for daily use.

hello again recently i installed the ICS 4.0 theme(not launcher 2.4 i think launcher 2.4 is pathetic compared to the theme on GoLauncher).....and it made me have almost everything to look and function like the real ICS 4.0......but something happened it seems that my phone is a lot a lot faster and smoother than its ever been before it is rooted and it is gingerbread 2.3.4 KPH and i have not installed anything that can speed it up so why after installing this GoLauncher Theme is it sudenly become super fast and super smooth???
< sarcasm> I think your phone has thought u really installed ics < /sarcasm>

hahhahahah that could be one reason for it because this theme is very realistic and phones do get confused easily lol
I guess you are feeling the difference between 2 different launchers.
They all do perform differently, so thats where your "sudden" smoothness and speed could come from.
Cheers
theres a word for it, "placebo"
well i dont think its the differnece between the two launchers because i downloaded ICS launcher 2.4 and it was so horrible that i uninstalled it after just about 1min of use.......but could it just be the this GoLauncher ICS 4.0 theme thingy has some sort of accelerator(dont know what you guys call it in this forum) that might speed up my phone?

No, it does not.
The only thing I can think of is that youre storing the theme inside your (class 4)SD-card. The theme is maybe lighter which makes it load up faster.
Just a theory.
If you want a fast launcher i could recommend ADW Launcher Ex. If I wasnt so damn used to GOlauncher I'd switch to it.

but its not even how the theme loads its everything plus i forgot to mention it was its normal speed when i installed this golauncher theme and it was normal speed for like 2 days and then somehow all of the sudden out of nowwhere on day 3 it became super fast and super smooth that why i was concerned so i wanted to ask you guys if you have any ideas
ADW ex rocks!
+2!!! ADW Ex rocks. I tried out Go Launcher, and probably every launcher out there. If there's something that gives you almost every imaginable feature and yet doesn't slow down your phone. This has to be it.

It's faster, I'll admit that. I just switched over from the Go Launcher. But I feel like the Go Launcher has way more customization than the ADW Launcher. I'll keep giving it a try though. Liking some themes I saw. If anything I'll just back it up with Titanium just like Go Launcher and keep both.

Negative sir.
I ran it on my tab. IDK what the hype is. ADW and GO do more out of the box. I uninstalled and just use stock ICS no need to run a launcher on ICS unless you just like transition animation or something.
Something that made no sense about it. It made it feel like Gingerbread. You could not scroll past your apps in the drawer and get to the widgets. It seem to revert some of the better settings in ICS.
I saw apex was updated to support themes. I searched the market and didn't see many. Does anyone know of any there or on xda?

yeah, i saw it too thats why i updated and i tried to apply launcher pro miui icon pack from the market but i couldnt do so. how do i apply this icon pack? can it be done using apex free version?
With the hype about Apex supporting themes, you would think that there would be at least one out by now. hehe
It says it supports themes from ADW and Go, etc... But all it really supports are the icon packs and wallpapers, which you could already do with ROM Toolbox, etc...

Weird, mine only did that when Superuser was messed up, had some bad binaries or something and needed to be updated.

Yeah I haven't found any yet. But at least I can replace the icons on the home screens from an adw theme

I don't consider a red wallpaper and a slight red tinge to the stock icons to be a "theme"...
if i saw right it will support themes from other launchers so just search themes for those. the one i used is an ics one. just search ics and its the one with the android sandwich. it works for all other launchers so i assume it works for apex

On most of the other launcher's themes, it just imports the icons and wallpaper... it is very limited in what it can do. Personally, the theming in general is kinda weak. Icons, some colors and things is about all that really changes. None of them truly theme the OS, IMHO

True, I was just hoping that Apex would be able to offer something other than Icon and Font packs, which we can get through Recovery, ROM Toolbox, etc...
Hi Guys,
I have made several themes which are specifically made for Apex.It's just that Google Play Store Search Engine sucks so it is hard to find themes.
Anyways, You can find my Apex Themes here

I love original GB rom from htc cuz that very stable, but homescreen is anoying i dont need 7 home screen and i cant edit.
Using infected rom on GB with port sens 3.5 is buggy with some application...
So somebody can help me? How to modding homescreen on sens 3.0, i just want 3 homescreen.
Thx
Sent from my PG86100
You cannot change the number of homescreens on the stock sense launcher. You will have to use a different launcher with more features. I personally like ADW EX (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher&hl=en), but there are free ones available in the Play Store.

That is my exact dilemma when running a GB ROM - use the sense launcher with way too many homescreens or use a different launcher without the sense widgets.

Just like the title says, can you recommend me good launcher for my tablet? Apex Launcher can be a good alternative, Go Launcher HD doesn't give me what I need.
I'm deciding to change my launcher because it doesn't give me what I need in terms of widget capacities, homescreen numbers and the like.

Apex or Nova. They are both good, although I am currently preferring Nova.

I assume we are talking about tablets running ICS or JB. Why would you use a launcher from the stone ages when there are much better launchers based on ICS available?

Yep, my device is on stock ICS. So far I'm running Apex Launcher and it seems to fit my needs. There's a lapse though: when the portrait grid is resized to 10x10, folder names are somewhat lapping each other.
I'll keep this thread open because I still somehow need inputs from you guys. What I keep on looking now is something that replaces everything just like how Go Launcher replaces everything in my phone.
