I'm running TNT Lite 2.0, which came with a version of ADW Launcher built in.
I want to be able to get rid of the phone icon on the taskbar and replace it with something like Settings. But since I didn't load a standalone version of ADW, will installing a full version over it cause problems?
Reason I ask is that I downloaded and installed ADW Launcher EX (or whatever the paid version is called), and it made my tablet flip out - locked up, strobing screen, etc. I had to do a restore to get it back. So I don't want that one. But the "regular" ADW might do the trick for me. Otherwise I might want to try Launcher Pro or another one.
What's the best way to do it?

Well I have been using Go Launcher and I want to go back to ADW. is there a way to migrate my Go Launcher settings to ADW like how i did with ADW to go launcher back then with desktop migrate?
You can change tha launcher by pressing the middle (home) key and selecting the launcher that you want from list of available launchers. If you have only one you will go to the home of that launcher...
I dont think there is as solution for that. As long as something like "desktop migrate" isnt built into ADW you have to manually reconfigure you home screens.
If I'm not mistaken, desktop migrate works with most launchers. Give it a try.

Desktop migrate works. Sort of... usually the migrated Widgets are empty, means they fail to load. But one could at least try that. You can find it in market.

I've tried desk migrate. It only works from ADW or LauncherPro to Go Launcher

I like the nook launcher but as everyone knows it doesnt include sideloaded apps. Any way to change this?
Sent from my BNTV250 using xda premium
nook color app manager allows sideload apps to be added to nook tablet homescreen its in googles market or androidzoom if you dont have access to the market.
Thank you so much! I have been trying to use different launchers and none of them work 100% correctly on the nook firmware and i am actually liking the nook interface

Oh! I had no idea nook color apps worked on the tablet. Do any others work?

Hi,
I am using (Go Launcher EX), but then you won't see the nice B&N default launcher unless you press the "Home button" (inverted U).
Of course if you also install Home Catcher (then when you press the "Home" button twice, it forwards you to the Go Launcher interface or any other at your choice)....

I also have goLauncher installed. It is the only launcher I have tried that is fully functional without any bugs. (ADW LauncherPro ADW.ex and many others all have some kind of issue either functional or cosmetic)
I very much like the Barnes and Noble home concept.
If anyone could now help me with getting sideloaded apps to launch from the app shelf I would appreciate it. Currently they only launch from the home screen.

I understand the resistance to rooting, but it does greatly increase the usability of the tablet. I'm using ADW launcher (now EX, $.10 in the market) and it works great. Go launcher also worked fine too. Add nookhome and you have the best of both worlds. So far, my NT has been rock solid stable, worlds better than my Viewsonic gTablet (bad purchase!!!). The biggest bug I've found so far is that in some apps, the pop up menu is white on white. Running a finger over the menu reveals the entry, so it's mostly aesthetic. Cut and paste is still absent and another pain in the butt is that quite a few apps are missing (google+?)from the market and require a bit of work to install. Once rooted and able to run all the Amazon stuff, this thing absolutely blows the Fire out of the water. Even rooted, the Fire is noticeably slower and buggier than the NT. My neighbor bought one, we compared and he returned the Fire for a NT.
I just want to know what you guys think the best launcher available on the android operating system is. I am currently using the launcher pro plus that came per-installed on my cyanogen mod ROM. do you know any other launchers that aer good.

I like go Launcher or ADW Launcher. Both are good but used go Launcher the most and enjoyed it the best along with goSMS
If you want to be fast, go launcherpro or adwlauncher. However, there's a popular launcher emerging called golauncher. Its heavily customizable and you can make it look exactly how you want. You should check it out for yourself.

I'd say ADW launcher. It is my favourite of all time right now. But I must ask what is Trancent Launcher? I tried searching for it but I didnt find it.
I say adw launcher ex too. It's fast and well customizable.
But...btw CyanogenMod doesn't have adw as stock launcher?
yeah it does
i am running cm7 on my phone
i just wanted to know
because my cm7 is starting to lag a little.
like it takes aa few second to get past the lock screen
and i though it might be launcher oriented
Zeam launcher or launcher pro. I prefer zeam

I like ADW Launcher EX in combination with ADW notifier as it is fast and highly customizable.
But the best advice I can give is to try all the free versions of launchers and see which one works best for your device.
Are you tired/bored of your traditional Honeycomb Launcher? Are you in need of using folders?
Then you should try GO Launcher HD for Pad.

Yes, nice launcher indeed, I'm using it for a couple of days.
Just having some problems with widget loading (palmary weather and widgetsoid), but not exclusive of this launcher, had the same problem with ADW EX.
looking good, will try it.
Thanx for the tip
i'm using the honeycomb standard launcher (taken from asus transformer dump) and it works really well!!

As soon as i get home i will post it...
as promised here attached is the stock launcher taken from asus transformer rom, i think it is a 3.1 launcher because it doesn't have widget resize option, if i find a 3.2 working stock launcher i will post it..
NOTE: this is only for rooted devices, you can't install it, but you have to copy it in the /system/app folder, then press the home button, if it doesn't ask you to choose between sony and stock launcher try rebooting your device, make sure to have a backup rom (see condi tool) before, there should not be any problem you know...
I can't seem to install it.... I put it in system/app... Rebooted and it still doesn't show up...

Gotta change permissions
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
I haven't changed any permission, i've used file manager hd to copy the file to the folder..maybe it does it in automatic?
I recommend that you use root explorer instead.
When it comes to permissions, he means that YOU have to set the correct permissions when you have moved/copied the file.
The correct permission is 644 (rw-r--r--) (r=4 w=2 x=1)
yup
I have Go Launcher on both my phone and tablet and absolutely love it.
thanks...
Has anybody tried some launchers designed specifically for ICS yet?
I'm running Apex Launcher (free) now and it works really well with the ICS update. Keeps the same slick look and feel, but takes away that "Favorites" button I never use, no small icons up top, and no more of that choppy fast scrolling feature that Sony built into their launcher. Some nice customization options too.
Can get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher&hl=en
I'll probably install Trebuchet (CM9 launcher) and see how it works later tonight.
nice

The Apex Launcher looks nice, but I don't see anything that GO Launcher does not do. I especially love all of the widgets that are available for GO.
Don't know anything about Trebuchet.
launcher
Try ADW launcher. It has tons of customizations
Really cool
Same here, ADW Launcher is much better than GO Launcher. I especially like it because we can hide the top bar alltogether.
Go launcher is great on my tablet but why can't I theme it like I can on my phone?

because the DEV has not released it's theme factory may be.
It's still in beta..
GO Launcher HD is still to early to put on our tablet imo, no themes and some GO widgets arent workin properly. Don't get me wrong, its a great work in progress, but its still in progress non the less.
Installed GO Launcher EX when I bought the STS and havent found anything better yet.
I'm sure if they keep up the good work on GO-HD it'll be awesome in a few months.
