My old Optimus V phone had a launcher that showed the number of missed texts/calls/emails right above the shortcut in the app dock at the bottom of the screen. Is there any modern launcher that does the same thing and works on 4.x JB phones? I'm rooted and ROM'd if it helps.
I've triee sslauncher , this was able but u've got to know how to do it , how to select the text type, the shortcut type... you can try the free version on the play store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.launcher

I am not sure if this existed before root and p-rom, but wanted to ask. If I view a new text msg through the notification window (actually click on it and open messaging) it doesn't clear the red bubble on the messaging icon on the dock. Is this normal?
On gblur 4.5 with launcher pro.

With LP+ that happened to me all the time.
Lately Ive been using ADW EX and it has an add-on app called 'ADW Notifier' that uses accessibility options to display the "bubble" as you called it. Works much better.
i am. wondering whether anyone successfully use some alternative desktop apps (for example , dxtop) on 10.1.
mainly want to sortout apps,hide some apps, customerize user interface.
thanks .

ADW Ex is 3.1 ready. I still like the new honeycomb launcher for now though myself.

good to know that it works on 3.1. I would guess the home replacement app is not ready for 3.1 yet.
launch pro was mentioned somewhere in the forum ...another home app ...

using Launcher Pro and it works great, but not optimized for tablet yet.
I'm currently using ADW Launcher EX. I've gotten better performance from it than the stock launcher. Can't wait for the next release as it should have better integration with Honeycomb.
i never used launch pro , why i have an impression that the app allows you to customerize widget rather than being a home app ..

It lets you adjust the widget size if you purchase the full version, but it's mainly meant as a replacement home.
I use ADW EX after trying Launcher Pro which had a number of FC's. Adw flies on my GT but LP's widgets look great on the big screen. Just a bit of advice if you use a custom launcher is set the orientation to portrait or landscape and set it the way you want. The screens don't transition well if you use large widgets which I do.

I use LauncherPro primarily because of its great looking widgets and widget resizing. Honeycomb's resizing features only work with certain widgets specifically designed to support it. LauncherPro will resize any widget.
The only thing I don't like about LauncherPro is its app drawer, but for that, I have a shortcut to an activity that points to the native home screen. I haven't been able to locate the specific command to automatically launch its app drawer, but just getting to the home screen is a start. In theory, you could launch any replacement home screen's app drawer.
I know there is a launcher which have 3icon down on the screen which is phone menu and browser
I want the another version which the SMS replace the browser
Do anyone know that launcher or give me the link to download?

You can change what the icon does.
You can actually remove the browser and add the SMS.
Download GoLauncher or LauncherPro. Both will give you five icons (phone, contacs, apps menu, message and browser).
Then, configure it.
from what u're describing it sounds like the GB stock launcher. u can find it on the market. not too sure if u can customize the buttons tho...
Try HeLauncher

How do I keep cm9 from making those stupid app shortcuts on the homescreen or is that some stupid ICS behavior. If I wanted my home screen to look like an iPhone or behave like MIUI, then I would've bought an iPhone or installed MIUI.
Thanks

I think its android Market/play store that adds app shortcuts to your home screen, there's an option in the settings to turn it off "dont auto add shortcuts"

If you mean the behaviour that is the app icon shortcut being placed on your homescreen when you install a new app from the Play Store, then that is the Play Store itself.
There is a option inside the Play Store to disable it from auto placing shortcuts on your homescreen for new apps.
Thanks guys : )

On my iPod Touch 4G, I really like the 'Poof' app available in Cydia. It allows the app icon to disappear from the springboard. You can type the app name in search bar and it appears (You can turn that off too).
Is there any similar app available for Android ? I searched alot but haven't found one.
I am running JellyBean 4.1.2 CM10 tytung's ROM on my HD2.
i'm running cm10.1 with apex launcher. I just hide icons of apps I don't want to show in my app drawer and then use the google search bar at the top of the screen to find hidden apps by typing their name in or saying open "app name".

I tried Apex Launcher, it was slow and consumed more battery than CM10's default launcher Trebuchet. You running it on HD2 ?
Trebuchet is getting a 'hide apps' feature soon too. The maker of Trebuchet posted it on his Google+ page along with a load of other features.

Use 'hide it pro' app from play store to hide anything from your device. It's also available on the ios app store
Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using xda app-developers app
Installed Hide It Pro but didn't worked for me. Now installed Nova Launcher, and now I am able to hide apps. Plus its very fast and smooth than any other launcher.
Thanks for the help guys.
