Ok so I am making my first ROM. Everything is going fine but i just have one problem. I dont want the ROM to run the default ICS launcher. Instead, i want to add another launcher. Also, I want to configure it like which widgets will be there and which icon pack and all. Can anyone tell me how can I do it?

I'm one of those people who, for various reasons, like the current stock ROM. In particular, after trying a number of launchers I keep coming back to TnT. I rarely use the "dashboard," but it is nice when I'm using the tablet on a stand and can turn it on and in a moment get the time, weather, and a news headline. For the most part I use the "classic" mode which just works for me. There are no inappropriate and useless phone-related icons or features and the on-screen Menu and Back icons are very helpful. My presbyopic eyes like the large notification icons and the simple layout.
On the other hand, there are some very nice aspects to the recent CyanogenMod 7 ROM. A biggie is the location feature that works surprisingly well.
I'd probably use modded ROMs more if I could find a launcher that I like. Given that I think I've tried just about all of them, it looks as if what I really want is the TnT one. Is this installable on a ROM that didn't come with it?
yes you can. on the caulkin rom you get a folder with the "home" and other missing apps to install the tnt launcher also you can go to droidpirate.com and search for a bunch of stuff to download including the launcher there.
This question goes out to all the theme builders and rom builders and ofcourse the home pro's.
My question is simple, its there anyway possible that you can get rotation for youre homescreen and appdrawer with a launcher that is homemade?
I have not done the launcher and well i dont think the developer has the time either. Everyone wants him to put in the rotation on his rom but i only want it on the launcher cause thats the only thing i have installed atm.
I know there is launcher that supports this but i dont like them that much, launcher pro is good but i hate the appdrawer on that launcher. And Go launcher has also i bad appdrawer.
And the launcher im referring to is SPlauncher , it can be downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457061.
So is there anyone out there who has the free time and would like to help me if this is possible?
Thx in advance.
And once again i do not own this launcher it is made by dragon7780.
Hey all,
I have recently installed ADW Launcher EX in order to set my tablet up using the Hubs philosophy. Looks great so far, but the one thing I did like was the favorites shortcut in the status bar on the stock sony launcher. I would like to add it somewhere, but it won't let me add it, probably because it is some kind of hidden system app.
Does anyone know how to add these hidden system apps to homescreens or wherever without need root access or a custom rom?

Without some serious dev work, it looks to me like this is not possible. It seems to be a part of the stock launcher from what I can tell. You might be able to write a non-launchable app that just launches the Favourites, but that would only work if they had any public Intents built-in.
Not too sure, since I'm at work and can't check right now, but thats just my thoughts.
Thanks,
I had thought as much. I actually don't mind the sony stock launcher, just wish I could create shortcuts that can jump to certain screens like in ADW launcher. I'm sure if I rooted, I could find some way to access that applications independently, but I don't really want to go that route with my tablet. My phone was enough lol
Im looking for a Samsung Galaxy S2 rom that I can change rthe dock icons. Loads of roms out there but Im looking for an ICS similer to the LPW8 thats on my GS2 atm. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance
use nova launcher and you can change whatever you want. Just Longpress a icon and choose by your downloaded icons.

You can also use Apex Launcher which I think has more features than Nova
Choose whatever ROM you want and just change the launcher. I, for one, hate TouchWiz and the very first thing I install whenever I flash a new ROM is Go LauncherEX and then I uninstall TW.
Besides the 2 lauchers other users have suggested, I'd like to also add Go LauncherEX to that list. It's free, easy to use, very customizable, fast and has lots of free widgets.
Whatever is your new launcher of choice, be sure to either also install a Launcher Manager (use as Home Manager : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.carp.HomeManager ) or root the phone and uninstall TouchWiz.

It's possible to eliminate the grid app? I wanna know if it's possible to put all my Apps in homescreen like iPhone. I installed a custom rom with S6+Note touchwiz, in at the initial setting show me 3 mods: Touchwiz without grid, with grid and easy. But doesn't work. Suggestions?
I don't think it's possible on Touchwiz.
You can try with another launcher like ZenUI launcher from ASUS. I didn't try it but it offers the possibility to have all your apps in homescreen by default.

Yes it was possible, with popwiz rom, but i dont know which version was that, now I am on popwiz telstra 2.1 and it doesnt work. I also like this feature.
@leonbpg
U can try a miui launcher (combined with an iPhone theme) don't know for sure if it is available in playstore, else u could just download a miui rom and extract the launcher apk.
Go to "system/etc/floating_feature.xml", search "<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_LAUNCHER_SUPPORT_HOME_MODE_CHANGE>" and change from FALSE to TRUE
