What App Would You Like To See As Stock?? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Morning guys,
I've just started using Sliding Messaging and think it is fantastic, and now with the card style it looks amazing too. It looks and fits in with Jelly Bean and my Nexus 4 so well.
So it made me think what other aspects would people change for other apps as stock?
For example is there a better fitting Contact apps.

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?

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.

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.

Best Android Launcher?

Hey guys..
I was just wondering whats the BEST android launcher in your opinion?
My personal favorite is Zeam Launcher. I like its minimalistic look and its blazing fast too. It does not have any fancy features and it works great.
I also like Holo Launcher. I am still on Gingerbread so the Holo Launcher is a very appealing choice for me to try out because it is an ICS launcher. Holo Launcher works great and is one of my favorite. It has a lot of cool features but for some reason.. I keep finding myself going back to Zeam.
So guys... Whats your favorite android launcher?
You guys should also check out my review of the best android launchers here:

Yeah.. A lot of people have told me to get Apex because its the "best" launcher for android if you have ICS. Unfortunately, I don't have ICS like most people. I hope to get a new phone though then I will be able to review ICS apps as well
If you like minimal and fast, try lightning launcher. I've been using it for months on all my devices now. It's great and let's you do loads of things that are just impossible on other launchers, like freely placing and rotating widgets and icons

Hey mate... I have actually tried this and I would agree with you that it is probaly the fastest launcher I have ever seen. However, it is not for everyone because their is only ONE home screen.
It may be fast but with only one home screen... its severely limited and putting apps on the home screen can sometimes screw up the grid. You just have to a little bit careful when you are placing or moving apps. Otherwise, its a great launcher.
Thanks for reminding me about this app mate...
Why does it look like your just promoting your review whenever you can? Besides, the best launcher question has been done a thousand times.

This would make a lot of sense because Go Launcher slows down your phone and if you have a higher end phone... it should be able to handle it fine. But still... Go Launcher is a battery whore.

Hmm... it seems like an impressive app but it seems more like a homescreen customizer. It is a also a whopping $16.80 in the Google Play store... hopefully its a typo but if its not... it seems awfully high for an app.
I have been recently wondering...
What's the fastest launcher?
Lightening Launcher is blazing fast but is there anything faster??
I have purchased tsf ui .. awesomely fast but take huge amount of ram. Nearly 45mb while others take 10-15mbs.

Its a quality app. We need to be willing to pay for quality apps if we want android to evolve more. That's just a couple of coffee drinks.
And 45mb is low for an eye candy app.

45 MB is the size of the app once installed?
Thats HUGE!!! ... I am on a Nexus One and thats like a 1/3 of all the space available on my phone.
Zeam is light, minimal and yet lots of customization, very good.
Apex is also great. Go Launcher is falling behind from my point of view in comparison.

ROM - Paranoid Android By ByteCode.
Sent via XDA App.
I installed and I liked it - for a day. On day 2 it started an update that was not a normal Play Store update. There were download notifications in chinese. Seems really suspucious epsecially considering where it was developed. Also the support web site is all chinese rendering it useless to a lot of people. Beware.
Guess u tried updating from the in-app update option.
I update only via google play hence did not come across this issue.

Windoss 8 style launcher is more boring.
Windoss 8 style is more boring, but not bad WP8 launcher... nice:good:
Used it for about hour and restored to Trebuchet... This is good for bigger phones (screen size OFC).
Have any of you experienced a lot of lag with this launcher? I'm used to launchers like nova and trebuchet that are nice and smooth while this one seems to be choppy. I like it a lot though

4.2 jellybean rom with touchwiz features

Ok guys, so this is my situation.
I decided to go with the s3 instead of the nexus as I was happy to run a custom ROM and get the hardware benefits of the s3.
Brilliant device, my problem is though that I love my 10.1 cm experience but really miss some of the little features of touchwiz.
Does anyone know of a ROM that has the sexy 4.2 jb vanilla feel but with some sneaky touchwiz features under it. Alternatively are there any mods or apps i could use to get the same effects?
Thanks a lot guys and look forward to seeing your thoughts and suggestions.

What features of touchwiz do you want ?

I really fancy having some of the gesture features like tap to top, they are pretty handy. I would also like the ability to use multi window if possible.

Wow, it's nice to know someone is doing a good job on customization. May I know the apps you used for the notification center, gallery, dialer, contacts, and settings? I really can't stand stock Samsung JB.
