Don't have a market link for it, but this is by far the most unique launcher I ever used. Its styled after magazines and you can change just about everything. It even has page turning transition effects. A go launcher replacement in my opinion. Go check it out Lord willing

gave it a shot. I like the concept -- but its not for me.
very fast and smooth on my CM7 atrix though.
Definitely interesting.
After emailing the dev, found its closed source though. Personally not fond of using an app with so many permissions without access to source (same story with GO apps)
ADW is still for me, but thanks for sharing.

Really great Launcher, thanks for the tip... this is my new fav.

I came across after a post somewhere here, and it is a ripper. It gives massively more customisation than anything I've seen to date. Effectively you can even set things almost to the pixel, and set every attribute of it. I say things, because you can add may things.
Now that I have freed myself from app launching woes in each launcher by using a combination of WaveLauncher and FolderOrganizer, I can swap launchers at will. I no longer need to mess with app groups in each one, and can customise widgets alone. This one will be one of my all-time faves, I can tell.
I look forward to it progressing. I already have a few suggestions!
I haven't tried this launcher yet, but I also have use both wave/folders together. I find it much more efficient Anne completely frees up my screens.

Thanks for the recommendation! I am looking for a simple yet elegant launcher and this fits well to what i wanted!
Idk if this has been mentioned yet, but i use this feature everyday...no more swiping the top of the screen to adjust brightness level.
Is there a new shortcut for this? It's very handy.
oh man are you serious?? I too use this feature ALL the time no joke... hmm maybe I should put off this update? lol. Can someones else with ICS please confirm this?
Unfortunately it is indeed gone (I used it very often before, too).

I just went back stock and updated today and can confirm it's no longer there. I noticed the same with the ICS leaks that have been out recently but just thought it was something to do with being a leak.
Unfortunate, I really liked that feature.
A lot of the CM9 based ROMS have this feature available.

Do you all really not look in the market or on google for apps or do you just come here for answers cause you don't wanna take the time to look? Here is an app that does exactly what you want. You can control brightness by swipeing the top, bottom or side, your choice. It can also bee seen or you can make the bar transparent https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en
There is another app, Notification Toggle which mimics that of the 15 toggle mod that we were seeing around a bit before. You can put it in your status bar so all you do is pull down and set brightness from there plus a whole mess of other stuff.
Hope you enjoy.

Wow! After using the app porkenhimer suggested (my new favorite app : thanks) I can see what the other gentlemen were talking about. That would be a feature I would miss and ask for in future roms.
If you don't have this app, get it asap.

After trying this app i'll admit it's a terrible replacement. I might try the similar app that is just a widget and see if that'll work better.

Hi,
I'm thinking about to come back to an AOSP ROM but I need SmartStay features...can the new app ISeeYou be a good replacement on AOSP ROM? Anyone is using it (PRO version) on aosp? thanks
I know this might sound stupid but have you thought about just creating a widget to lock screen on instead, seems a much better use of battery resources imho, but then I have a real thing about all of Samsungs novelty apps,, so I am biased! Who can watch a video and do other things at the same time?! But hey, that's just me!

No no, I agree with you for the video features but during work it's very usefull for me to use smartstay features...Otherwise, I never thought about this solution, I'm thinking about of setting screen timeout on 5m and even creating a widget to lock screen, is it your way?

Yeah, I just use widgetsoid from the market, what it does is lock screen up to the max timeout, 1hr? So even if you forget to turn off I think it will turn off after 1 hour, and it works even in the dark, .......Samsung

I just installed this on my S3 running CM 10.
It does not work at all. It actually makes it so the screen never turns off.
I'm also using Widget Locker which also has a screen timeout function, and I've tried it with that disabled and enabled.
For reading long articles and playing WordsWith Friends, I would love to gain this feature back.
Any help or tips would be preferred.

Haha, I suppose that's the beauty of android - a tailored experience for everyone. I like how you can have events organized by location and I do enjoy the preview slide shows.
Zoes: I like the 3 second snap shots. They're annoying to share but a neat way to remember an experience.

"A tailored experience for everyone" - I like it! I'll have to remember that phrase especially when I'm talking to Apple users.
I'm also intrigued by the Zoes, but have some mixed feelings about them. I tried to use them to take little "action shots" but found the timing to be very difficult to get right (sometimes it seems like the interesting part happens just after it stops, or it takes a moment to focus and you miss the beginning). It'd be nice to be able to tweak the duration, which got me thinking why not just have it where you press and hold the camera button and it does video/stills until you let go? Then I thought wait, why am I doing this again, why don't I just record a short video in the first place?
Not sure what the answers are, but I like that we're trying new ideas.

If you're taking zones for grabbing still frames, you can press the camera button and hold to get burst shots. You can also take video and then grab frames from that.

I haven't seen anyone talk about this launcher, but it is awesome. Yes, you have to pay for it, but with the amount of customizations available it's well worth it. I know I'm a newb around here, and this post may not be taken seriously, but I thought I'd try to get a great dev paid to keep up such great work. Best feature that I've been looking for for over a year is being able to put widgets inside a folder on your home screen.
And that's my 2 cents. Please don't be too harsh, remember I'm a newb around here.

This is the "Tasker" of launchers. It's incredibly powerful & customizable. Just a bit of a learning curve. But much like with Tasker, once you do a few things, the rest gets a lot easier to figure out.
I actually got frustrated the first time I tried the free Lightning Launcher. And gave up on it the first day.
Read your thread and got the ambition to try it out again.
Really glad I did.
Nova Prime has been outstanding for me, but I was missing some customization options and Nova Prime developer team has not responded to my inquiries. So I'm going to double-down and watch a couple Lightning Launcher videos and figure it out.
I really, really like that it lets you have multiple home screen/profile setups. So if I'm right, I can pull up a different homescreen setup for each Tasker profile I have set up.
Also, there are profile/themes you can download from Play Store that give you some pre-arranged fancy-ass customization. Just to get you started.
Tsf shell is the best launcher I've found.

I love Lightning Launcher and can't say I did the first 5 times I tried it. At first, it is very intimidating for those that are used to the normal/simple way of laying out your homescreen/desktop. I have tried pretty much every launcher out there and love the benefits everyone provides, but have to admit, they are all essentially the same ole desktop, offering nothing truly innovative.
If you want to see the power of LLX, are worried about bugs and improvements, check the Google plus community: https://plus.google.com/115359051724948606262/
Again, this is only for those experienced enough that want something absolutely unique. If you are content with basic folders, simply swiping left/right and having the normal desktop setup this wont be for you. If you actually want freedom to make your desktop look the way you want, give LL a try.

I haven't had any problems with it at all. The customization is still amazing, and everyone in the g+ forum is nice and helpful.
