can anyone build a launcher like flipboard interface ? i like it.
Don't expect anyone to create a whole launcher for you sake. If you're refering to W7-like then Launcher7 should be your option! There is also "Phone 7 IMITATOR"

So, the question is kinda stated in the title...
I am looking for a basic launcher tutorial, if there's so, or a launcher skeleton application.
Basically what I want to do is a customized launcher, preferably totally remade of scratch (nope, simply modifying the original Launcher is a no-go, I want to add a few plus features), or based on a skeleton.
If anyone can help me, please do so!
I swear i saw something in the Android dev page that made a little simple launcher... i cant find it now of course.
perhaps looking at the ADW source would get you going. it is open source
http://code.google.com/p/adw-launcher-android/
found it
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/Home/index.html
First of all, I know that this is running on a different device (I guess it is a Desire variant) and I also understand that this probably means that this launcher+lockscreen are only for 480x800 devices. But i thought someone would know some more information about it:

Basically, it has a different style of lockscreen (and it displays the time in an interesting way, for example EIGHTforty) and then has a similar style for the UI.
Can anyone help me out? If this launcher is not available for the Hero, then is it maybe for the Legend or the normal Desire (not the HD), or perhaps the ZTE Blade or the Samsung Galaxy S? That's all the android phones I have, so here's hoping someone knows more about this. I am not interested in the ROM this guy is running, but simply the custom UI/launcher and lockscreen.
Thanks in advance.
I know that clockr (available on the market) would display the time like that and using widget locker you could put that on your lockscreen? I think he is using a modded widgetlocker.. Mod data for modding widget locker can be found seaching ( WidgetLocker Mods Custom Lockscreens XDA.
the status bar could be themed using the gingerbread theme for the hero available in the themes and apps part..
widgetlocker and clockr area abailable on the market.. another one called TYPOCLOCK may be better...
Seems like LauncherPro and Widget Locker. He does a lot of mods for these apps, most of which can be found on the LauncherPro forums (currently down) or on his site - http://www.theultralinx.com/
What's the best launcher for an Android 2.2 tablet?
And is it possible to get Honeycomb features?
- like the better gmail app
- and the better keyboard.
Many thanks
You could check out this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046302 or search for one on the market. It's all based on preference. Also, the answer to your question is NO. A launcher CANNOT add features* to your device. It can add the looks of a new OS (not counted as feature here) but it won't add the features you're asking for (like getting a new gmail app. If you want a better keyboard, then why not get one from the market?). In order to get the features you want, you have to change your rom (Whether custom or official) to a Honeycomb rom if there is any available for your device.
I want to modify the stock ICS launcher (like Trebuchet, Nova, etc. did). How can I do this? I understand that source code of Launcher from Google cannot be opened in Eclipse like an ordinary application (because it uses private APIs). So how does Cyanogenmod team do this?
i'm not the best to answer this but i assume it's quite hard to modify.
I would suggest you to try Apex Launcher
Suppose that Google sells the phone for the end user, without undergoing any other company like Sansung for example. What is the ICS launcher original design straight from google?
Ex: A Samsung has as the original Twiz
The HTC is the sense?! (never had one)
And google? What is the original launcher, without anyone change? Either there is a project launcher official for google ? Or its not cause its open source and only 3rd dev create an custom launcher? I cant believe that Google doesn't have an oficial launcher write by Google itself.
I saw somewhere that talking is Holo, but then I saw the holo to download more like a custom.
I searched here but did not find ... someone can take my doubt?
Just flash a AOSP clean rom and you will have stock Android with stock launcher.
Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher are pretty much 'stock', although it isn't officialy from Google itself.
AOSP roms like CyanogenMod come with Trebuchet Launcher, it's not from Google.
Sent from the Matrix
"Holo" is just the name of the UI theme Google introduced with Android 4.0 ICS; it's not a launcher. I think the default Google launcher is called the same as the default CM launcher but I could be wrong. It could possibly be a nameless launcher simply referred to as "stock launcher". I mean, why not? Google doesn't need to name Android's default launcher.
