[Q] Honeycomb for Vibrant? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's there any way to get honeycomb on the Samsung Vibrant? The full tablet IS, or maybe even the tablet UI for Jelly Bean? Or both, I'd like to try both. Thanks in advance!

the honeycomb version of android would be completely useless at this point for our phone. But if you really want the honeycomb feeling you could go search on google play for a honeycomb launcher i am hiv + that there is a pretty decent launcher wait give me a minute ...................... ok try HCL Launcher. Team Syndicate is pretty ****ing awesome when it comes to their lanchers

There is a ROM called Paranoidandroid, it allows you to set apps to be in tablet mode. As well as many other features. There is an ICS and a JB version I believe. I haven't tried them personally but it might be what you are looking for.

Honeycomb Launcher

Has anybody tried this new Honeycomb themed launcher? It's supposed to add Honeycomb functionality.

I tried a honeycomb launcher that was made by the same people as the new ICS launcher but it looked weird on my Nexus one. Then again its meant for tablets and not phones. Its an OK launcher but doesn't really show what honeycomb is really like.
Hope this helped

ICS launcher on GB 2.3.7

Is it possible to somehow port or install the stock ICS launcher on GB 2.3.7(CM 7)?

Alot of porting your best luck is to install ICS Launcher from the market

Well anyway since idk how to do this myself and there are no devs around that try that i suppose i will have to use one of the ICS-like launchers.
I consider this thread closed.
Well,ics launchers on google play are well "ported" already,and if your phone is strong enough to handle ics goodies then its better just to port hole ics to that phone.BTW i really like ics theme on go launcher ex

Ye I know we have ics but touch (partially) and most of other stuff doesn't work but it boots and it's rather fast. And i know about the apps in the market and i tried them all bit i want all of ICS launcher functions. Anyway tnx for reply but as I said since there are no ports, I believe we can consider this thread closed.

You are right, check in the Android Market/Play Store (Formerly Android Market)!
Ok so just an update for future reference i found an app called Holo Launcher which is all you need from an ICS launcher for GB

It won't work on gingerbread...only ics.

Negative sir.
I ran it on my tab. IDK what the hype is. ADW and GO do more out of the box. I uninstalled and just use stock ICS no need to run a launcher on ICS unless you just like transition animation or something.
Something that made no sense about it. It made it feel like Gingerbread. You could not scroll past your apps in the drawer and get to the widgets. It seem to revert some of the better settings in ICS.

Trebuchet style launcher on 2.3.6?

Hello, I am running CM9 on my tablet and am in love with trebuchet. Are there Anny launchers like trebuchet or themes like it? Or can I flash trebuchet on 2.3.6? Thanks!
Sent from my HP TouchPad CM9
It's an app... Try it. The worst that can happen is it doesn't work, and in which case...uninstall it.
I wanted to know if I needed to flash ics first.

Again.... It's just a launcher. Try it on gingerbread. It won't cause your phone to spontaneously combust.

Can't find this launcher on Google play. Where would I find it
Sent from the only phone designed by Chuck Norris
Search xda for it. Or Google. You need to be rooted. It's a .apk file

Best you're going to find is GO Launcher with the ice cream sandwich theme. It's pretty close to trebuchet.

Best ICS-only Launcher for the upcoming Rom...

With the progress being made toward an ICS ROM port (link below) for our beloved Streak5, I thought I would ask for opinions on which Launcher would be best to run on it.
Feel free to add a post as to reasons.
The only available options I've found are as follows:
* AOSP (the vanilla android launcher)
* Apex (from 'Android Does')
* Nova (from 'TeslaCoil Software')
* Trebuchet (from CyanogenMod 9)
:fingers-crossed:
[ROM][Early pre-alpha] AOSP ICS 4.0.4_r2.1 for DS5
Just realized there are many similar threads to this one on various different device forums.
Not meaning to reinvent the wheel here, so I'll leave it up to the Mods to decide on whether there is merit to having a Dell Streak 5 specific topic regarding which one works best for our hardware/rom... or just lock this thread and be done with it.
Thanks.
:cyclops:
This thread might have some merit as:
The S5 is one of the few WVGA 160dpi devices (at least it would be if the ICS rom wasnt set to 240dpi), pretty much all phones are 240dpi
But a counterpoint is that there are very few ICS only launchers as that means not being compatable with 93% of your market (at least according to google [Link])
The trebuchet launcher from CM9 supposedly works on stock ICS, and it's ICS only as it's an enhanced stock ICS launcher(?).
At least with a custom launcher and 160dpi you can use the Stage 1.7 widgets, they're pretty nice on my S7/S10/touchpad
(The stock launcher is 4x4 grid and stage 1.7 needs at least 5x5)
ADW and ADWex have worked fine on HC/ICS for a while and are native apps on those, they simply have no reason to make seperate HC/ICS only versions.
this is depend on dev who release the rom or his rom type. once ICS is ported into our DS5, there will be a lot more port from others OS (AOSP, AOKP, CM9, MIUI4 etc etc). but everyone can choose...its in Market as long Android 4.++
Don't leave Holo Launcher out of the mix. I'm currently running it on the ICS rom an its working great

I no longer have a Streak, but on my Samsung Skyrocket I tried all of the ICS only launchers when I was running ICS and I just keep coming back to Launcher Pro.
I have the nova on my streak 7 I like it first one that was closer to stock vanilla IMO
