[Q] Gummy Rom questions - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

1) Gummy comes with the APEX launcher which is fine. Works OK. Is there a way to go back to the default ICS launcher? Options default launcher leaves me on APEX.
2) SMS delivery reports. I turn them on. Doesnt seem to work. Worked OK on gingerbread ( EH03 and prior ). Some trick to getting that to work on ICS.
Thanks.

Simply download any launchers you want from market.....I currently have 6 different on my device to choose lol

Do a search for TouchWiz launcher?
If you check in the Super Clean thread, adrynalyne posted the Touchwiz launcher packaged with the stock widgets. It's labeled "eb01_touchwiz.zip"
If this doesn't replace the stock launcher, it should make the stock launcher a second launcher option. If this happens, you will get two options when you press the home button. There is a checkbox below these saying something like "use this as the default for this action." Check this box before selecting the Touchwiz launcher option, and you won't see that selection again.
If for some reason you want to go back to the other launcher (or you have set a default for other functions - browser, music, etc.), you can clear it by going into System -> Applications -> Manage Applications, find the Touchwiz launcher (or whatever you've set as default), and then press "Clear Defaults."
Thanks, this helps.
But on my second phone, captivate, running andromeda I have 3 app list mode. List view, customized grid view and alphabetical grid view.
What is the version?

That would be the captivate's TouchWiz Launcher, you can find them in Stock ROM images for the captivate. Each Galaxy S Touchwiz is a little bit different. As an alternative, there are modded versions based on the Captivate TW, one by GTG, thread found in the i9000 forum, and one by myself found in the Themes and Apps of the Fascinate forum.
I use sgs tools to load up one of various twlaunchers that support exactly what you wish
If you need this pm me your email and I'll hook you up.

[Q] Comm Rom 2.0 and Launcher Pro

I am running the Comm Rom 2.0 and when I try to use my LP pro KEY it starts FC'ing. I can use the free version of LP just not the pro? All else runs FANTASTIC with this set up......
I have OTB1.4
Any Ideas?
Thanks!!
edit:
Nevermind...As always if you read a little you usually find the answers!! Thanks to all that contribute here! btw....In the answer I ounf that a lot of people here dont use Launcher Pro....What do you use then? I like the 7 screens and the transitions, but if there is something that works better I am all EARS!
I use ADW EX. The only thing it's missing from LP is the widgets, which you can't seem to get anyway lol. But it adds quite a bit, IMO

I use ADW but I had LP installed behind the scenes. After my first app restore I was experiencing the same issue. On my second build of 2.0 I chose not not restore LP and didn't encounter the issue.
I've been using LP+ for quite some time. Occasionally, after a new install it will FC when you first start the phone, but when it comes back, everything is fine. I'm experiencing it now, because I just installed ComRom 2.0, but after a few days it will settle in, and not FC at all.
In order to use the paid version you have to remove the .apk from system/app using Root Explorer. Reinstall Launcher Pro from market. Before removing make sure you have another launcher to use.
Adw Ex and Go Launcher are way better anyways.

[Q] Stock Gingerbread launcher with secen home screens?

I love CM7. I run it on my Droid Incredible and I wouldn't want to run any other ROM, but since I have the paid versions of both ADW and Launcher Pro I don't have any need for the free version of ADW that comes packed with CM7. I found a mod that replaces ADW with the default Gingerbread launcher, and I've found that I prefer the stock launcher over any of the replacements I've tried. It's fast, minimal, and it just works. My only problem is that launcher2 only has five home screens, and I want seven. A Google search brought me to a version of the stock launcher with seven home screens, and I was able to install it on the latest CM7 nightly, but whenever I pressed the phone icon I got an error message telling me that "this application is not installed on your phone". I tried the launcher on both OMGB and OMFGB with the same results. Is there a version of the stock Gingerbread launcher out there that I can use on CM7 that has seven home screens and a working phone shortcut?
Holo Launcher maybe?

[Q] Widget Grouper

Going back and forth between Alien and CM7 - love CM7 functionality, but occasionally need some of the stuff still in work on the ROM and will decide to go back to Alien.
One thing I find myself really missing is the fact that CM7 groups your widgets when you go to add - so instead of having 8-12 widget options for a single app, you'll have one entry for the app that says (12 widgets) or something similar.
Is there any way to flash this functionality onto the system if running a different ROM?
Thanks!
Homebase 6.2 Blue Chronic rom has this as well as cm7...

Launcher question

What is your guys ideas on the best launchers available? Which ones are the best for ICS themes, etc.?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I like GO Launcher and the other various apps that run smoothly with it. There are a lot of various ways to customize your launcher. The only other one that I've used, besides stock, was ADW Launcher. Try a few out. No harm in that. Then check out Ashlepedia's thread in the General section on how to push your launcher app to the /system/app folder. That way, as a system folder, you won't lose the launcher on a data wipe. You can either delete the old launcher or add .bak at the end so you don't have two launchers running at the same time. Ash's thread will explain better. O, and GO launcher has ICS theme.

Widget locker has amazing ics lockscreens. Its what I use and it is exactly the same as the real one. I use adw ex. It has implemented a few ics features which is really nice. I like go launcher as well but I just prefer adw. Try a few out and you will get a feeling for which one you like best.

I have had the best luck with Launcher Pro. Extremely customizable, low battery use, lots of places to put things. The dock with Launcher Pro is very versatile with many slots for items.
I just SBFed last night and pushed Eclipse 2.0.3 on my DX2, Launcher Pro backs up your screen items and then restores them even after that. I install all of my apps, then Launcher pro, then just choose Restore settings, and poof, back in business without the need to re-arrange everything.

If you like it, please buy it. It is more than worth the price.

+1 for Go Launcher. It probably is the best launcher out. I keep coming back to that launcher and everything that goes with it because of all of the customization.
Ive been using ADW (Paid versions) off and on since Ive had this phone. I've downloaded Go Launcher before and messed around with it but I have never customized it and used it as my every day launcher until yesterday. I have to say, Go Launcher, for some reason, feels more snappier and responsive than ADW.
Go Launcher is my choice too. I used to use Launcher Pro (long time user). It's a decent launcher too but for some reason it started hanging at times. Couldn't do anything for 5 seconds or more. No doubt it was causing it either. Shut it down and the hangs would quit happening. Also, the program hasn't been updated since last May. They keep saying there's a rewrite in the works but they've been saying that since last June or July. At the moment, it appears to me that it's pretty much abandonware now.
Anyway, I switched to Go Launcher a couple months ago and have never looked back. Has all the dock functions of Launcher Pro and more. The themes are great, it's snappy and, well, just works well. Just my 2 cents worth.
zeam launcher is my fav although it isnt an ics wannabe. not a resource hog like all the other launchers and only a few hundred kilobyte download.
Ive since redownloaded go launcher ex and bought ics pro theme for it. Im very pleased! Although I like the simplicity of adw, go launcher just seems more complete.

Go laucher is good. Best speed in my opinion for a launcher
I have tried go and adw. Used to use go but kinda laggy to me but liked all the customization. Adw free was fast but didn't customize well in my opinion. Adw paid was on sale for 10 cents so got out and love it has most of the features of go but runs much faster. Every once in a while it redraws but think it's more of a memory issue cause it usually does it after playing a game or something.

had adw then got go an never looked back the best to me out there
I really liked go launcher for a loooong time but I decided to deal with ADW for a while since in came with the CM7 rom and honestly, It grows on you. A lot more options and hard key replacements. Also, I always hated the ugly menu in go launcher but thats gone now I would say try ADW for a good week before you make a decision.
And adw ex paid is even better than reg adw
QQ launcher is great.
Mixer themed cm7 X duce
ADW EX (has a great free ICS theme) or SPB Shell 3D. GO is ok but sometimes it gets a little wonky.

+1 as well for Go Launcher EX. Plus, the ICS theme is really nice for it.
I also like how with Go Launcher, I can long press on my home screen, select applications and then it lets me pick one or more apps I want to place on the screen, rather than having to drag each application one at a time. I have yet to see any of the other launchers do this.
And, on CM7 Beta, it is REALLY snappy.
I have looked around at many launchers and my favorite is adw launcher from CM7. I will upload the apk as soon as I have a chance. Go launcher is also good though
