Anyone tried applying Metro UI style?
Launcher 7
LauncherPro
Desktop VisualizeR
None work satisfactorily.
Any Suggestions?
(icon/tile packs or other apps)
I personally recommend to use Launcher 7 donate. You can purchase the latest version at Google Play.. The developer is working real hard on this project. We are currently testing the dev version and its fast and stable.
Thanks for the tip
I'm using Launcher7 Donate ver now
got icons packs from android general forum.
NormL android looks lot better than metro ui ...
i have also used launcher 7 ... I got bore with metro ui

Do you kno of any cool windows 7 themes? [for open home].. free of course, or paid but downloadable for free! not a ui lite version. Perferbly not in the market, but if it's really cool.. it doesn't matter! Thx in advance!
open home 5.1.apk instaled on froyo 2.2 end working
Yeah open home works on 2.2.1 unrooted but there is other launchers out there with better features.
try looking at
ADW launcher EX < paid app
Go launcher EX < its free and not too dissimilar from ADW
LauncherPro Plus < paid but has really good built in widgets

sorry, but i use ADW Lancher EX, and sometimes Launcher pro plus.
i will search a theme though, for open home.
BTW, if you want your phone to have the look of windows 7, there are two options,
1. use desktop visualizer with custom icons. (you can find a lot of icons in the thread android themes in android developmnt n hacking forum)
2. you can use widgets named "7 home widget" and "7 media widget".
if i found a theme for open home, i will do upload it here.
It is working on the Wildfire but the text is too small and the icons in the bottom of the screen are a bit offscreen
I don't think it is meant to be run on a QVGA phone
While I have a license for LauncherProPlus, it shows that it's not a launcher built for tablets. Neither are the most well-known ones like ADW or GO Launcher. Is there any good Launcher thought up for tablets? I only found anTab in the market, and though it does seem interesting (and no, it's not because of the wallpapers ), I'm reluctant to pay 5 euro for a launcher which can only be used in portrait mode.
looks like the 1.6 laucher and only portrait yuk!!
i use adw plus so you can customise it alot and with some good widgets you can make it work well. i like coulourize beause their big and scrollable and just work well on the big screen!
im using ADW Launcher EX, with the Gingerbread Blue Theme.
Very nice launcher! Smooth and so on.
And you can set it to landscape only.
Hey Guys I just posted up my new Tablet oriented launcher project over in the G-Tablet forums. Check it out! it might be what you are looking for. Should work great on the VEGA!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017451
It shows a lot of promise indeed, i've just installed it and it looks great. Looking forward for updates!
I love this.... using it for a day or 2 but no launcher is replacing this.
- is ther still room for an option in a way to keep it as fast as it is.
Your own custom icons ( like rocketdock ) no i.m not an apple lover i would have bought an ipad but i love to make it my own personal thingy.. lol
If it cant be done no problem i will love it anyway.
thank for making this.

I want to know what the best launcher is in terms of uniqueness and not just speed. I want a launcher that is different from other launchers and has actually been well thought out. Thank you.
Personal favourite
I quite like Launcher Pro - lots of icon packs and easy to customise! Can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Only issue is that it hasn't been updated for a while
If you want custom themes without having to pay for Launcher Pro Plus, then try GoLauncher - not a personal favourite of mine but is again very customisable and does pack in a few unique features.
I used to use Zedge for pure speed, but it was a bit limited customisation-wise and I overclocked my phone, so I didn't need a really fast launcher any more
i tryed many launchers...but Launcher Pro is the best choice for me...so i stick with it a long time now
deff Launcher Pro You can do what ever you want
<Mod Edit> External link!
i like launcher pro & go launcher too
I use Launcher Pro too... even I uninstall/erase other launchers.

Yes. I had also tried it. not very good. Instead ended up using Go Launcher Ex with ICS theme.
I just got ADW Launcher EX the other day from the 10c app promotions per day google is doing and i'm loving it so far.. lots of new features compared to the free version
Might be a good idea for people to keep watch incase it goes up for 10c again.. few days left of apps
Try this 360 launcher. Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345601 pretty smooth, not bad so far.

Yea 360 launcher is awesome. Just never have seen these app drawer animations in any other launcher. very nice and very smooth. And the themes are good looking too
Edit: I just noticed that there is a lockscreen setting in its preferences using which we can have a variety of lockscreens too. And there are lockscreens available for download within the app itself.
This is f**king awesome
Only 3 lockscreens are available. But all 3 are good especially The iPhone lock screen and ics lock screen are looking great
Nemus
I use Nemus Launcher. It's fast and does what I need
Yes...This is the launcher for all u guys out there who are bored of the stock Android Launcher like me . Launcher 8 for Android gives a complete makeover to your phone.
I really like the new look of my Optimus One hence thought of sharing in this forum. Try it out yourself & share your comments :good:

ROM - Paranoid Android By ByteCode.

I installed and I liked it - for a day. On day 2 it started an update that was not a normal Play Store update. There were download notifications in chinese. Seems really suspucious epsecially considering where it was developed. Also the support web site is all chinese rendering it useless to a lot of people. Beware.
Guess u tried updating from the in-app update option.
I update only via google play hence did not come across this issue.

Windoss 8 style launcher is more boring.
Windoss 8 style is more boring, but not bad WP8 launcher... nice:good:
Used it for about hour and restored to Trebuchet... This is good for bigger phones (screen size OFC).
Have any of you experienced a lot of lag with this launcher? I'm used to launchers like nova and trebuchet that are nice and smooth while this one seems to be choppy. I like it a lot though

I like the WP8 stylt more than the Windows 8
anyway thanks for your sharing:laugh:
Awesome launcher... is very smooth and faster...
