Hi,
I was using ADW launcher with ICS.
After having flashed to Jelly Bean, I have noted that the launcher
I was using with ICS (Adw launcher ) is no more compatible .
Adw is in my opinion much more user friendly than TW, has more features like
having more than 4 icons in rows or columns per dock or having a black background below the name of the icons , etc.
Any idea wich launcher has also these features?
Thank you.
Daniel

I am currently using Apex with official JB. Works fine.
Nova and Apex are still the best for me basically the same features for both launchers

Saving a lot of time

Or are you using the fix?

I'm observe that TouchWiz launcher is not smooth in landscape.
When I rotate my tablet in portrait, smoothness is much better.
What is the reason? Any solution for this? Thx.
In my opinion Touch Wiz is a piece of sh!t...
That's because Samsung's software blows, so there's no solution to that "problem".
We will just have to wait 'till ICS becomes available, because it's supposed to be a lot smoother than Honeycomb. For the moment, I suggest you try a launcher (ADW Launcher EX) so you can fix that lag problem. We all have it.
Thanks.

Apex is by far the best of the AOSP-look launchers.
Thank you. Nova Launcher is very smooth and fast except when you fill a page of apps and slide from a page to another. Can you tell me if is it possible change lockscreen to another similar Cyanogenmod 9 to?

There seems to be enough screen space to fit 5x5 icons on the homescreens instead of 4x4.
What's the easiest way to do this on a stock SGS3?
I don't think there are any mods yet to change the stock TW launcher. You might want to check out Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher if you haven't already.

In fact, TW is already modded...

Or just install another launcher such as Go Launcher.

I tried out Nova (free) for a few days, have uninstalled due to:
- icons sometimes take a while to reappear.
- Calendar / S Planner widget sometimes takes a long time to populate.
The TW mods appear to need root... so I'm back to stock TW, and realizing that I don't need more than 4x4 that badly.
Hey guys. I've been searching a way to make the CM 10.1 app drawer background become transparent. Can someone help me out?
I've followed some tuts (such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835833) but they only teach how to make the notification bar transparent.
Thanks

I've tried launchers before. They worked, but I'd like to edit Trebuchet. I'd like to use default launcher. I'm not really into launchers

Apex and nova both have this option and are both based on the stock launcher, they just have a lot more features. They look identical to stock if all you change is the drawer transparency

Both have free versions and an add on that costs money but adds lots of features

Nova or Apex. Now I'm testing Lucida Launcher, it's very fast, but it's still in Alfa.
Nova and Apex are like the Google Experience Launcher but with more options. Lucida is totally different. Try it
