Hey All,
Thanks again for helping me on the #lg-optimus-g IRC yesterday. I ended up getting a new device.
Today's question is a simple one:
I just got done rooting my Optimus G. Is there any way to change the default launcher to look like stock Android?
Thanks!
Just install apex or nova launcher
Or Holo Launcher HD. My personal favorite above all others considering it has the features of both Nova and Apex and supports more themes.

That's the Stock Android lockscreen, you can probably find a CW flash somewhere in the forums, or some ROMS have that lockscreen that come with it, like mine

This is widget locker as it's an app I purchased and still use. It also has a steering wheel kind of lock screen. And yes it can be customized

He's talking about the post by maverick777
I'm pretty sure his dock icons are Suave HD.
Suave HD - http://macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16804800
Homescreen icons I think they're called sharp something but I don't remember where I saw them at.
That looks a skinned version of launcher pro, with custom icons. I kind of recognize the calender being blue like that. Do a search here on XDA for launcher pro, and you might just find all the skinned versions. Also check out launcherpro.com forums.

That looks like an iphone forum or something. If you install launcher pro from the market, you can change the "launchers" icons/dock as you please.
its cyanogenmod as i used it on my g1 i had same lock screen.. But need to know wallpaper.. any one can share this wallpaper.. thanx
Funny, the lnk you sent us to tells you right on the top what it is :
Where I'm at now.

Sorry to hijack the thread. But WHY is launcherpro the best? I've used ADW and in my opinion its much better looking and much more functional. But anyway for that being said. ADW EX ftw

LauncherPro runs smoothly the moment you install it. ADW has to be optimized, and tweaked with to get it run barely like LauncherPro.
That's my reason too, i used both adw and lp and my opinion is that lp is better (faster)
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
I've tried both LauncherPro and ADW and I have to vote for ADW over LauncherPro. Maybe the paid version is better.
What do you mean regarding optimize ADW also? How would this be done?
Go Launcher Ex
ADW Launcher and Zeam Launcher alternatively
For me ADW Launcher is the best because you can customize nearly every part of it
Launcher 7(wp 7 look alike) its free, check in market .

I've been pretty disappointed with the majority of the launchers I've downloaded. Not that they are bad, just not the experience that I'm looking for. They all end up looking the same to me. I like to make my phone unique, the reason I really like android, and most launchers have the same format.
I'm currently using Launcher7 because it's different that all the other android launchers I've seen. Granted, it just looks like WP7 but it's at least different than virtually every other android phone out there. I'm rather fond of the vertical scrolling and the tile aspect of the launcher. I can create my own tile icons, again it that customization, and I can scroll through all the tiles I want on one screen rather than flipping home screen to home screen. It also minimizes how often I need to go to the "app drawer" because all of my most used apps are on one "home screen". Just my opinion. Maybe, at some point, I create my own unique launcher. For now I really appreciate all of the hard work everyone has put into the launchers available.
Peace,
Ray
launcherpro is by far my favorite.
Launcher pro plus
Go launcher
Vtl launcher is the best bc you can edit everything and works with adw themes.

I've settled on adw but i just found dxhome on the market. The weather widget that comes with it only shows cities in china but i think the app as a whole has potential.
-Is there a way to get panoramic wallpaper on the home screen like how the Galaxy S II has it?
-Also, how do I delete pages on my home screen?
You have to use a different launcher other then sense launcher is the only way for scrolling wallpaper

Nova Launcher
Apex

+1 for Apex
Been using Apex
happy rocking Trebuchet now that I found a version that has an accessible settings menu.
Nova Launcher here.
Was an avid apex user, now I'm using SSlauncher. Its got a very cool and different setup. No dock, or nothing. You can make your labels. Very nice
I have been using Nova. It's quite nice having the ability to sort the applications in the app drawer. That was the feature that pushed me towards Nova otherwise I would have probably gave Apex a shot.
Go launcher is my favorite so many themes and widgets... and very very customizable. Check it out before you make your final decision.
Adw ex. Old school.

Hey guys I was just wondering what home launchers you guys are using I'm using nova launcher right now but I'm looking for a launcher that won't take up too much RAM the most I've seen on nova is around 30mb also what lockscreen apps are good?
Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using xda app-developers app
I'm on Gingerbread, so I idk how much ram would be used for you, but I use Holo Launcher with 3 pages of 4x4 widgets, and another page with a clock widget, and Facebook widget. I also have regular app icons too. I keep the app in memory and it only uses 24MB of RAM. I use Holo Locker and the keyguard service that runs on the background is about 8MB.

Based on their .apk sizes Holo (non HD) is the smallest followed by ADW, but that may not reflect what they actually use at run time.
There are already threads in the general and themes & apps forums for home launchers so you might want to browse through those.

Using Next launcher, like it a lot.
Im using NextLaucher3D, stunning work havent used very many but this one is my fav so far VERY customizable
Have tried just about every launcher except the $16 3D launchers which I'm guessing may not be for the OP if you're concerned Nova is using too much RAM. I love tinkering with themes and widgets so I love using SSlauncher but it also requires a fair amount of RAM. Nova Launcher is a great combo with Tesla Unread and Widget Locker, my favorite overall combo of launcher-lockscreen but I've seen other's rave about Holo. Apples and Oranges I guess but I got Prime when it was on sale for 25 cents so I'll stick with that.
I actually prefer just using Sense over a 3rd party launcher if given the choice but obviously its not supported by all ROMs.

I'm not worried about nova seems to use just about a reasonable amount of RAM compared to others the next 3D launcher uses about 30 mb less than go launcher surprisingly
