I liked MiniCM very much, but I can't find a way to increase battery life with that wonderful rom (I tried every trick I found), so I reverted back to stock and modded it a little bit to fit my needs.
I'm really missing two features of MiniCM, and I'd like to know if it could be possible to easily implement them on the stock rom:
1- in the lockscreen I'd like to switch to vibrate mode instead of silent mode
2- I'd like to have all those handy statusbar switches like the ones in MiniCM (to toggle wi-fi, airplane mode, torch, etc.)
Any suggestion?
1. u can use Widget Locker app
2. easy status bar, u can use widgetsoid
both of them is a paid app.. so i can't share them.. sorry.. but u can buy them through market..
Thank you, I found widgetsoid on the market and tried it: it's really nice, but I can't click on the widget if it's put on the status bar, like in MiniCM. Anyway, I've configured a nice home widget with it and I'm happy, althought I'd prefer to have a status bar clickable widget, like the one I used in MiniCM.
Widget Locker is too much for my needs: I just want to slide the "sound" slider (or whatever it's called) in the stock lock screen and switch between sound and vibration, instead of switching between sound and silence: is there a way to do it?
Does anyone know of any gesture bases launchers? The idea seems pretty cool, im the kind of person who hates clutter on my desktop or home screen so on my phone I usually only have one homesreen with the power widget and very minimal apps. Having gestures would be awesome because then I could get rid of all those apps and just tie them to swipe based gestures on the home screen

ADW has swipe up and swipe down gestures but not much else. There's also wave launcher but I didn't like it much.

I freaking love wave launcher. Especially since I can go directly from browser to root explorer or script manager or gmail or any game. I have almost every app and a few settings in different folders and now u can even put widgets on the wave. Change colors of wave and labels. LOVE WAVE LAUNCHER.
Makes going from one app to the next seamless and.smooth. u can even put direct call or direct message to contact on wave. Seriously awesome.
I know there is google gestures but.its an app u open and write a letter on screen to search ur phone and apps. I prefer wave launcher. And if u use widget locker u can set it so u can use ut on lockscreen.
I use Launcher Pro (my personal favorite launcher) and it supports swipe gestures on any/all of the dock icons. For instance, I have my middle dock button (of 5) set to open the app drawer on press, but when I swipe upwards it brings down the notification drawer.
Pretty handy if you hide the status bar like me.
Palm Pre/Pre+/Pixi/Pre2/Veer lol I miss webOS gestures so much! If you're looking for those types of gestures, you may be out of luck.

I got my new tab one month ago and i didn't flash any rom or rooted. does that make me tunning on stock rom ?
and i notice the interface of my tab where when i slide the screen there's this blue glowing box appearing. on top right corner the app drawer button and the + button also has blue border glowing. i really love the interface. Does touchwiz responsible for that or honeycomb itself. i am quite confuse on this, because when i use differnt launcher (ADW launcher EX) i don't see any blue glowing color, and when i add widget. instead of direct preview, i get this text only stating the size of widget. same goes to adding application shortcuts etc..
i love the original interface but it's quite laggy and lack of certain good function. So is that touchwiz or honeycomb feature ? how to make it work on other launcher ?
p/s : how to check which ROM i am running on. my android is 3.1

It's not go launcher, it's called next launcher. I've tried it yesterday, it's really nice and smooth, but I have a problem with every launcher other than stock, I miss sony's widgets, so every time I return to stock!
From the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere...through my Arc S!

Nova launcher pro, everytime on every phone ? Swipe up gesture to turn screen off, swipe down to show notifications. Widgets can overlap and resize freely. Has app drawer. I am not aware of other launcher with these (and many more) features.

You lose pie/Android 10 recents with Nova though.
For Android 9 I use Hyperion launcher
For Android 10 I use paphonb quickstep port (or lawnchair v2 early Android 10 release which is pretty buggy but usable)

I wasn't even aware that recent menu has changed with Pie. Just tried it and to be honest, I prefer the Nova recent menu. But maybe I'll give a chance to and try some other launcher with system recent menu support.

You will also need quickswitch magisk module to enable the recents view on custom launchers that support it

I have also nova pro. it really has cool features but i m looking for a launcher which without app drawer.
Stock launcher is good enough for me i like it, i use to use pixel launcher in my old phone, i already have pixel launcher in mi a3 so no need for 3rd party launcher

Nova settings -> app drawer -> gestures -> swipe to open/close. You can remove app drawer icon then. It's pretty close to the stock launcher behavior. Or, Nova settings -> home screen -> new apps -> add icons to home screen. Then you don't need to use app drawer at all, all new app icons will be on your home screen after installation (you will need to add existing apps manually though).
Nova since 4ever.
Swipe up for drawer, drawer have one page and everything in folders, double tap to turn off, swipe down for notifications , counter clockwise for settings.

Still like I said above you will lose the Android 9/10 recents view on launchers that don't support it. Nova being one of them
I'm a huge fan of Nova. It's the best launcher for Android ever made. But recently I've switched to Hyperion. It's really awesome. I really like the blur effect a lot. Immersive mode, gestures, screen lock-everything is there. It's the second best launcher imo.
I'll probably switch back to Nova eventually.
Another launcher I really like is Lean launcher. Super lightweight, super snappy launcher with not many customization options. Has Google feed & screen lock with double tap though. Allows you to hide apps & change the icon for individual apps.

Just wondering, what's so good on stock recent apps menu? I use it only to switch between apps. The omnipresent Google search bar irritates me, can it be disabled?

Just how fluid it is being able to open the app drawer from the recents menu by just swiping up on the dock and the way it fits with the gestures of Android 10 now aswel it's just way better in my opinion. But it is completely up to the person and what they prefer themselves. I can't tell you it's the best coz each to their own.
Also thats pixel launcher that has Google search. Aosp quickstep launcher does not have Google search in dock

I see, thanks for the explanation. So you basically like features which I prefer not to be present. Nova launcher with "old" recent menu seems to be the better choice for me. Anyway, going to try Hyperion, it sounds nice I'll give a chance to the quickswitch Magisk module too, maybe it'll grow on me.
Mine is Niagara, best simplistic launcher, best one handed launcher ive ever used.

I suppose you mean recen apps, because recent in general is the same.
+1 for Niagara and Lines icon pack.

Ya and the way you can access the app drawer by simply swiping up on the dock. It just all fits seamlessly with the new gestures
