I am using Android 4.2.1 CM10.1 based rom with i9300.
And I love the DPI of 280 instead of stock 320.
Before 4.2(4.0, 4.1), The launcher showed more icons with more spaces and rooms.
But now with 4.2, CM's launcher and Android 4.2 Stock launcher all shows a bit weird.
Like the attachment, It's small.
Weirdly small.
I don't like this. (And I think you won't either.)
How do I fix this?
(PS I've tried porting Trebuchet from CM10.0, Launcher2.apk(stock launcher) from Galaxy Nexus 4.1.2 rom but it just keeps crashes.)
(And also, don't tell me to use other Market's Nova launcher or Apex. I prefer the Trebuchet or Stock launcher.)

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the ICS Launcher (by Syndicate Apps) and the ICS theme (by Sonny Sekhon). Are they both the same thing aesthetically or is one more accurate? I've never seen ICS so I don't know how to tell?
the ics launcher you mention is a port of the launcher for use on gb and lower has the looks and almost acts like stock ics (but buggy ), a theme changes the appearance of the launcher eg adw launcher , changes the looks of the apps , but does not act like the launcher eg widget in drawer etc ...
the launcher you mention and the theme are two different items , themes are more for getting the appearance opposed to the functionality of ics launcher , the launcher is almost fully like ics ,so maybe ure better of flashing a ics rom oppsed to using the launcher or theme the two are pretty mediocre opposed to the real thing in my opinion , i have a ics rom on my phone runs ok ...
Ok. Thanks. It's good advice to get a ROM but unfortunately none of them for my phone have a working camera and that's crucial to me. I'll stick with the launcher.
Would it be possible to have a few of TouchWiz's features, such as S-Beam, the Motion Gestures, the Camera App, the Pop-up player, etc but running on stock Android?
I like the features TouchWiz has, but I prefer the look and performance of stock Android.
Would it be possible to either theme the entire UI to make it look like stock Jelly Bean, while keeping the TouchWiz features?
I'm currently on CM10. I've already seen various threads on whether it is possible to port TouchWiz features on CM10.
I'm willing to remain on stock Samsung Jelly Bean, but I want the appearance of the phone to look similar to that of pure android.
I'm using Nova Launcher to theme my homescreen, and various widgets, however, if you are on TouchWiz when you open settings or the notification bar, the UI is not very attractive, and it's not very functional either - stock Jelly bean is far better in that respect, but TouchWiz's few killer features are absolutely amazing!
Thanks!
You can't have your cake and eat it too
So, is that a no? Because I'd love the same thing. The look of JB Vanilla but with some of the Samsung apps like S Planner and S Memo which I think are fantastic. Would love to get those .apks to use on another ROM.
Yeah, doesn't seem like it's possible!
Although sidthegreatest's point was good.
I'm going to try and set up a dual boot setup instead - with stock TouchWiz operating as my secondary ROM, and CyanogenMod10 running as primary.
Already have Siyah kernel installed!
Suppose that Google sells the phone for the end user, without undergoing any other company like Sansung for example. What is the ICS launcher original design straight from google?
Ex: A Samsung has as the original Twiz
The HTC is the sense?! (never had one)
And google? What is the original launcher, without anyone change? Either there is a project launcher official for google ? Or its not cause its open source and only 3rd dev create an custom launcher? I cant believe that Google doesn't have an oficial launcher write by Google itself.
I saw somewhere that talking is Holo, but then I saw the holo to download more like a custom.
I searched here but did not find ... someone can take my doubt?
Just flash a AOSP clean rom and you will have stock Android with stock launcher.
Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher are pretty much 'stock', although it isn't officialy from Google itself.
AOSP roms like CyanogenMod come with Trebuchet Launcher, it's not from Google.
Sent from the Matrix
"Holo" is just the name of the UI theme Google introduced with Android 4.0 ICS; it's not a launcher. I think the default Google launcher is called the same as the default CM launcher but I could be wrong. It could possibly be a nameless launcher simply referred to as "stock launcher". I mean, why not? Google doesn't need to name Android's default launcher.
Hey guys,
Why isnt there any modded version of trebuchet? On any CM rom with 68 ram or less device, another third party launcher consumes 50 mb ram which is just a waste where there is a stock launcher. SO why using third party like Nova or apex? Well Trebuchet doesnt offer even basic customization? LIke changing icon, app drawer grid,unread notifications etc etc.
I dont know why CM team doesnt update it. Its the same **** since god knows how long. Or as a matter of fact, no dev has worked ont hat who are working with CM roms! Why the hell not?
Tried searching everywhere but didnt get a single mdoded version!
Please inform me if there is!
Regards

trebuchet is always the best it cannot be themed directly but it is compitable with all the CM themes. For example if you switch the CM to xperia theme the launcher also changes with it.
What I mean is there a kitkat or a lollipop rom that is available for the gs2 that doesn't use a 3rd party launcher, like nova or apex. I never really liked any of those. Is it possible? I'm just curious. I just installed lollipop cyanmod 12.1 and loving it but really dislike the custom launcher.
Anything for kitkat?Heard it runs better on the s2

Slim roms has their slimlauncher, which is like a slimmed down version of trebuchet (the launcher in cyangenmod). What about google's launcher? I guess you're not a fan of all of the features right? You prefer simplicity and speed correct? What kind of launcher are you looking towards at?
Well I came from jellybean (neatrom) and it had the default os launcher, no third party app with annoying settings. I'm looking to go away from lollipop installed it for a day and the battery is pretty bad. Is there maybe like a touchwiz version of kitkat for the s2?

Hey,
So as per your liking, maybe you would want to try out this ROM. It is based on KitKat, and has touchwiz interface: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...atives/rom-touchwiz-resurrection-rom-t2491822
Another option for you would be to go back on a JellyBean based ROM, if you want good battery life and new touchwiz interface: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...vatives/rom-s5-unique-look-stability-t2629897
