I have the speedrom version 6.0 and it uses trebuchet as the default launcher. I like apex launcher better and was wondering can I push the apex launcher apk to system/apps and delete the trebuchet apk, restart my phone and have Apex as the default launcher? Thank you in advance to anyone for their help.

Of course you can, go to play store and download apex, when finished, press home, and you will be able to select between apex and trebuchet, select set as default, and select apex and done, apex is your default launcher. No need to delete trebuchet though

Btw, apex has a feature that even if its not installed to system/app, it will allow you to select widgets from the app drawer

I always use root explorer to push nova launcher and its paid version unlock key to /system/app and change permissions. Then I reboot and delete previous launcher
I prefer nova over apex... just my opinion

You can use any launcher, not just the ones mentioned.

I was hoping someone could tell me how to create my own app. I want to make a launcher with only one screen and that I can choose wallpapers vertical WITHOUT zooming in or what. And an app drawer I can pull up. And as smooth as launcher go :3 Or is there already a launcher like this. (Not Helix Launcher....)

I take it you've tried LauncherPro? Very smart launcher. Can be very minimal or completely over-the-top. It's entirely up to you. And it's fast =]

Yup launcherpro is no doubt the fastest launcher.
To OP it's not easy to write an app.
Oke thanks
But isn't there a launcher like I want?

I am using CM7.1 build by grif and that one has ADW launcher by default. Can i remove it with titanium backup and install GO launcher or will that crash something? I'm a beginner, so thanks for probably a simple answer.
Install Go launcher first and then remove ADW. It wont crash
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Install the other launcher, set defaults to it. (maybe even turn it to a system app using titanium backup). and remove the old launcher with titanium backup.
I have done it and there are no issues so far.. cheers
Can the system app thing be done for iLauncher and replace ADW Launcher? CM7. 2

Yes, but first try to make iLauncher a system app (do not remove adw), reboot your phone and see whether iLauncher works properly or not and then remove adw launcher

Titanium backup is useless. Download root explorer or file manager app from market. After downloading, open root explorer or file manager. Go to sd card or data/app and copy go launcher ex's apk and paste it in system/app and set permissions to
RW-
R--
R--
Reboot and enjoy.

Whats every ones favorite home app?
Nova Launcher
Apex

+1 for Apex
Been using Apex
happy rocking Trebuchet now that I found a version that has an accessible settings menu.
Nova Launcher here.
Was an avid apex user, now I'm using SSlauncher. Its got a very cool and different setup. No dock, or nothing. You can make your labels. Very nice
I have been using Nova. It's quite nice having the ability to sort the applications in the app drawer. That was the feature that pushed me towards Nova otherwise I would have probably gave Apex a shot.
Go launcher is my favorite so many themes and widgets... and very very customizable. Check it out before you make your final decision.
Adw ex. Old school.

I use Nova too...and there's a setting in there somewhere to do this...can't remember where now, but it's in there. I don't have my phone by my side, can't check right now.
But yea, Nova > Apex >>>>>>> Go Launcher
Hey, I was wondering how do you add apps to the launcher at the bottom by the app drawer buttons the home screen? I took out messaging and internet by accident and now I don't know how to add it back, thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Just drop and drop when you are in home screen, so make sure the apps are on current home screen (I'm pretty sure I don't use TW launcher)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
If you are still using the stock launcher, I would highly recommend to change it. You won't have to root just download it of the market. Best launcher for SIII is Nova. Try it, it will let you have 6 icons vertically on the screen and so much more.
Good luck

Mine is 4 x 5 by default.
Yes, your right it is 4x5 but I wasn't taking the bottom row into account bc it was locked to just icons. Thanks for the info as I'll just get a nodded apk for this. Was hoping there would be an easy Configuration setting.
Thanks for the help!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
you can do a 5x5 using nova launcher :good:
Unfortunately neither Nova nor Apex render that nice icon shadow as the Touchwiz launcher does. I know it's a small detail but I like it a lot of and hated it when I lost it. (Using Apex now.)
