How can a modify a launcher?

Hi guys
Is it hard to learn how to modify I launcher?
I really love this launcher on my mini
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500095
I asked the guy that made this if he can make it with 3 home screens instead of the usual 5.
He couldn't do it so maybe I can do it my self.
Is it possible to do it and is it hard to learn?
Thanks in advance

I've always found that market launcher's run smoother and more customization. I suggest trying adw.launcher, go launcher, hi launcher or zoom launcher, their all great. Getting theme's let's you get the look you want it mismatching theme pieces. I personally use adw.launcher ex( paid)

Widget selection screen

I find this widget selection screen clumsy and ugly in Touchwiz, it's much better in GolacherEX and other launchers.
Anyone know how to make it display widgets list alike, like it was before?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
long press home screen, select widgets from menu....job done
Thats exactly how widgets look when i do that, this was like this on SGS3Touchwiz, Galaxy S2 had this list alike widget list, also had mod that same widgets were grouped together.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
ah, my bad, I'm using nova launcher which gives the old style list, must be touchwiz way then....change launcher
Nah...first time now i like how stock launcher looks, nova is ugly.

If you need stock TW launcher then I think you need to get used to it. This is how stock ICS launcher handles widgets and apparantly sammy didn't bother changing it.. But I kinda like it.
Lots of things sammy dont think, they should have listen the users more. Nova is ok, Golauncher seems better, but i stick with stock till someone makes new hacked version of this touchwiz.
I really like how stock launcher change pages, havent seen so cool looking on any launchers even they have more options to change it.

I do like TW launcher but what bugs me a lot is the way TW launcher create folder. Samsung choose to use ICS style on the widgets but decided not to use ICS style on adding folder. Doesn't make any sense. :banghead:

Maybe use apex launcher and then choose touchwiz theme as design? Dunno if that fits all your needs though
I use sslauncher and hitting the menu key gives the traditional.Samsung options, like settings / wallpaper and long press the screen gives options for Widgets etc.

Homescreen transition animation will never be the same
And of course the clock widget will be gone. So not fit to my need.

You could put all your apps on the homescreen and hide the dock? Lol

Apex launcher, hide dock use tablet mode in settings the app drawer icon will be top right next to Google search, works great on jb

Just use Apex or ADW (New version kicks ass)..
Hide the docks, use multiple screens and have it place an icon on the desktop for new applications.
Be like iOS but with widgets.. Ain't seen anything with no app drawer really.. Those Windows launchers maybe?

Dude, seriously, if you don't want to move your finger a few times at initial setup and keep replying "I want this ONLY", do it yourself.
You've been offered a bunch of alternatives that will behave just the way you want, except that they'll need 5 minutes of your time to set up.
Lightening Launcher
Taken a look at Lightening Launcher?
Buy an iPhone?
Is there a launcher that looks like this?

Transparent App Drawer Trebuchet.apk

Hello all my friends
After see here. i tried mod for willy
Description:
Transparent app drawer by definition means you can see the homescreen wallpaper whilst in app drawer instead of the default black background.
This mod can work with any ics rom
Happy :fingers-crossed:

by the way when u open the app drawer , the wallpaper with app shortcuts/appdrawer button/ clock will still be shown? im looking something like the launcher in jb on samsung s3/mini or xperia launcher
Which ROM did you try because some ROMs don't have trebuchet. Also you can look in the x10 mini forums for an ICS xperia launcher for ICS. Also look in the galaxy mini forums for an ICS touchwiz launcher as both of these phones are ldpi.

What's everyone using as a launcher?

Just curious if people prefer stock or a replacement launcher?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Nova.
I used ROM Cleaner to remove the sense launcher.
Ha I was also wondering this. Was just about to ask and saw this thread. I was wanting to make a sleek simple homescreen and someone said I couldn't change icons with stock launcher.
How easy is it to switch back and forth between launchers?
As easy as installing from the play store and running it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
But would it keep all the settings. Like could you set up two different launchers and have them set the way you want. Then just feel like going to a different look one day just because you feel like it lol.
Yes. A launcher is just an app like any other app. Settings get saved.
Nova, have used it since I got my Galaxy S2. Love it easy backup/restore change icons individually, and more!
Just installed Nova Launcher and gotta say its pretty cool. Here's what I created. Just two questions. Can nova launcher make the status bar clear? And I used simple text to change icons on the dock but it has black background behind the words. Can I make that clear somehow.
I use apex launcher and as nova
It's amazing, I had no trouble changing plenty of phones while keeping my layout

ive been a nova user for quite sometime , however ive been using stock on the one.
Guess im the only one who actually likes and uses blinkfeed =]
I'm using Next Launcher with custom apps and live cube wallpaper very cool!

Action Launcher - allows minimalist approach, very fast to select apps. And Blink Feed app from appstore switches back into sense launcher so I can go back and forth.
Apex
This may be the perfect place to post this:
Does anyone know of a launcher (or can creat one) that is JUST the Sense 5 app drawer?
i.e: unlock your phone, and hit the app drawer button: THAT is ALL I want to see.

I've always liked the stock launchers over Nova, Apex, etc. Although I did enjoy them on CM roms on the One X when I had it. Usually I'm not a fan of stock Android. I've always much preferred the manufacturer skins.
I love sense 5 too much to switch
