Hi everyone.
Q1 :- I am using Go launcher ex for sometime now. I want to know how to remove home icon from app drawer. I see no option to remove it like other launchers like adwlauncher has. Please tell me if there is a way to remove the home icon from app drawer.
Q2 :- I am using Go locker aswell. Its good but sometimes when i press home button if my phone is locked it shows my old locker. After sometimes it comes back to go locker lock. I dont know why it happens. Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

I downloaded adw launcher but i selected SE theme as default in order to experiment with adw later. But now i can't find adw launcher anywhere to activate it. And in the market i can't open it, it only says i downloaded it.
can anyone tell me where to go to open adw launcher?
you have to delete the cache or something from the default launcher (in app menu)
or you install the app "Home Switcher"
In case you still haven´t found the ADW Launcher, you have to clear the defaults in settings - applications - manage applications - home screen. After when you press the home button you will be asked what screen you´d like to use.

Hey!
anyone know a launcher that is fast,goodlooking and dont take to much battery (for x10mini)?
standard one is to uggly.
Try Zeam .. i prefer that to ADW or Launcher Pro.
my money is on Launcher Pro...
best alternates are the mentioned Launchers:
Zeam, ADW or Launcher Pro.
I would also suggest you GO Launcher.
Try them all end than stick at YOUR choice.
Zeam gets my vote for speed...
Launcher Pro was slow and somehow heavy on my X10
Zeam was blazing fast
Go Launcher was something in the middle (more features that Zeam but faster than LP)
It's a while I don't use ADW, I don't like when devs mess up with licenses.
My choice was Go Launcher because of the better dock but I think I'll move back to Zeam soon
Just a quick question.
If I install Zeam then how come I'll release the default one? It won't eat memory?
I like this launcher thing but it doesn't just eat memory the home screen keeps going on every time I turn it off.
By the way does anyone have the backup and restore always on and when he turn it off the coverage goes off?
took zeam, fast n goodlooking.

.. not quite getting you with the first part...
Second part, about Backup and restore... I deleted it from the phone completely.. I had network recycle (my network go off and after few sec comes back) but it works just fine now.
I installed zeam and now want to remove the default home application from my hone. Can you please tell me which application I need to uninstall?
After reading this I decided to have a play with Zeam.. all I can say is after 10 min I was back to Launcher Pro+ (I missed my Custom Dock's, The LP widgets and widget resize, among other things)
If you want a good free Launcher.. Zeam seems pretty good (just looks like a cut down version of Launcher Pro)
if you want the best launcher then pay for Launcher Pro +
so anyone say which is the launcher that takes less battery.

i use "absolute system" to remove stock programs.
(root required)
zeam is good but it's lacking something.

Zeam is nice, if you don`t need to make phone calls. Because it is difficult to find a minuscule icon and hit it when you are in a rush.

A possibility to assign another dialer to the call function. Not only the stock one. I am sure somewhere it can be changed.

Stocked Home app is called SemcHome.apk, but i woudnt recommend you to delete it, cause you will have error poping up on boot, just install launcher that you wanna use and when you reboot you will get question in which app to open launcher (Stocked, or the one that you installed), check "always use this app" (or something like that, and choose app. From now on your Home screen and Launcher will be displayed with app that you choose.
Stocked Home app is, after that, useless (until you uninstall Launcher app), but you need it if you dont wanna errors poping up.
i tried them all but i found the best one is home++ it is really great with battery
and it looks really good
For me, Helix Launcher is the best for battery saving. It's like launcher pro but without the customizability, saving battery
So umm, I see a lot of people talking about "changing the launcher". But I do not know what a launcher is. I see it in my settings (running MIUI on my Infuse 4G).
So my question, and yes I know I probably sound like a knowledgeless-fool. But, what is a launcher?
A launcher is an interface replacement that gives u a new home screen and app drawer. U can customize it a lot according to ur choice
Best are go launcher, adw and launcher pro
I think this will help you. if it does please THANK me.

Like ICS said, a launcher changes your homescreen and appdrawer, making it prettier and sometimes even more useful. I haven't used MIUI personally. Maybe it comes with a launcher, and maybe it has some features that a new launcher would duplicate. I know CM7 comes with ADW Launcher.
My favourite things about LauncherPro: First, you can change the homescreen grid size. Second, you can swipe between multiple docks. You can make dock icons link to activities, not just applications. And you can assign different shortcuts for swiping a dock icon. So if I press the phone icon, it goes to the dialer; if I swipe it, it goes to the call log. Plus any launcher is going to be prettier than stock, but MIUI is beautiful itself.
There's no harm in trying out a couple of different launchers. I prefer LP, others prefer Go or ADW. I know Go and ADW are much more theme-able. The only thing is that with a rom like MIUI that already looks good, a new launcher might look out of place.
Launcher is the bit you see and use when your not running an app or making a phone call.
You can change it easily by going to the android market and downloading a new one like nemus launcher or go launcher ex.
Once downloaded they will auto install. You can try the new launcher without changing your current one by pressing phones home button.
Menu pops up asking which launcher to use, choose the name of the new one and try it out.
If you want to keep it press home again but before choosing new launcher this time tick the box it shows saying "use as default launcher".
If you don't like it just do the same with the tick but choose your original launcher instead.

I.. do not understand.. So it is like a theme?
Not exactly. It's a replacement.
For example, suppose ur running the stock eclair with the slide up vertical app drawer
Now, u want a button to launch the drawer., and u want it to be horizontal. How will u do it?
Enter Launchers
It replaces the drawer with its own, and its own dock bar
In short, it is not a theme, but a replacement that CAN BE THEMED

You know Sense, AOSP and Touchwhiz? Well they are default "Launchers"
Launchers can be downloaded from the market w/o root.
They are like a different style of homescreen...
The launcher is the programm you use to launch or start an app on your phone. The launchers UI (User Interface) is what you see as your home screen. Changing the launchers behaviour means changing the way icons are displayed or the pages flip. It lets you customize the way your phones OS feels and looks.
Does this answer your initial question?

If you are running ICS, Nova Launcher is a good one to check out too. It can be found in the Google Play Store. There is a pay version, but the normal one is fully featured IMO. Of course, try out a few and see what you prefer for your setup. When I hit the home button on my phone, it lets me select which launcher it uses by default so you can swap them out.
Hi All,
Just curious if anyone can advise on what seems to be the BEST settings to use on Widget Locker on the SGSIII so that you dont run into issues with the stock lockscreen showing up first and then Widget Locker kicking in and other issues like those that I have had with Widget Locker over the past years on my devices?
If anyone can be of assistance I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks... :fingers-crossed:

First of all you can turn off stock lockscreen in Settings/ Lock Screen/ Screen Lock set it to none... You didn't mentioned are you on ICS or JB? For me Widget Locker worked perfectly on ICS but on JB there are some problems (like immediately unlocking without me scrolling unlock) and I am not the only one that have issues.

I had this problem but managed to fix it. However, your phone must be rooted. In the widget locker settings go to advance and HomeHelper. Tick everything ON, select your HomeHelper's Launcher and tap "Select System Home". Chose WL HomeHelper and tap Always. Go back to Advance settings and tap Root Helper. Tick on first three options. Your Widget Locker should work fine now.
PS. I found this solution somewhere on this forum but don't have a link.
I am on Dark Paranoid JB... Thanks for the responses. I will try these and see what happens...
Hi all. As you can see I'm new to this forum as well as I'm to android, so please forgive me if I haven't posted in a right thread. Thanks.
I downloaded go Launcher EX. I recently started using go locker, but when I want to unlock my Samsung Galaxy S4 I need to go through two locks. The first one looks exactly like my wallpaper (Flyer theme) with clock, and the second one comes from go locker (little monster theme). How to get rid of the first one and just leave the one with monster?
By the way, when I go to settings >My device >Lock screen I have 'none' option selected. If I had the third lock screen would show up.
I will appreciate any help.
