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
Zia
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.

There are a few AOSP stock Gingerbread launchers on the market. Which one is the best? I've used a few ROMs in the past that say they use one from the market, but I never saw which one.
I know the GB launcher that came in liberty rom was extremely fluid and you could add more icons to the dock as well. I think you could have up to 4-5 icons? You could try finding the rom extracting the apk and setting the proper permisisons. But It might look weird since I doubt it is coded properly for our resolution. Could ask kejar and see if he'll be interested in hooking you up perhaps? I'm not too sure about the market ones tbh, just found their performance lacking imo.
According to the CM team, Gingerbread's launcher was never open-sourced. So... who knows what that says about the supposedly AOSP launchers on the market.
CM went with ADW for their ROMs. Which pretty much mimic the look and feel of the stock GB Nexus launchers by default.
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.
Hello
I'm a big fan of Samsungs Hardware but never liked touchwiz. The hings that annoy me most are the launcher and the Email(Exchange) App.
Is there a way to use the Vanilla ICS pendants without switching completely to cyanogen (when it once will be available)? I would like too keep the few nice add ons by Samsung.
Thx for hints
You could try an alternative ICS launcher such as Nova https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en. Hope that helps some.
An alternative launcher will definitely get you away from much of the touchwiz experience but you will still be stuck with Samsung's email, calendar, etc apps. Take a look in the SGS3 Themes and Apps section. I believe someone there has created a flashable zip to replace the Samsung stock apps with the ICS ones.
Thanks both of you. Nova does the trick for now.
I also flashed the ICS Email but it did not want to work. Guess I'll wait for CM then.
cheers
hello i know cm7 has a few lockscreens and many options but i dont like any of them! and the ones i do like give a really laggy slow animation when the icons zoom in at you...
im just wondering if theres any mods around that give me a few better options? i do like the MIUI lockscreen where you drag from the centre to either up down left or right to a different app each time, id love this if i could find it! iv tried it on MIlocker but its laggy and buggy as hell lol
can anyone link me to some new lockscreens that will work on my atrix? (cm 7.2 MROM)
thanks! :fingers-crossed:
There are many lockscreen apps available on Google Play. I've also seen some non-MIUI ROMs (can't remember which ones though) that have MIUI lockscreen added, so clearly that's possible too.

yeah iv tried a few and they all seem very laggy mainly because there apps and not built into the software, im guessing anyway :silly:
the only one iv tried that fast is holo locker, but im just really looking for one thats not an app and is flashable so its intergrated into the actuall rom

You can't do that. The default system lockscreen is deeply integrated with the core framework. That means not only you'd need a different flashable ZIP for each and every ROM out there, you'd need a different ZIP even for different versions of the same ROM.

okay i understand thank you.
Holo Locker is a good lockscreen replacement. You can also disable de built-in lockscreen from CM7.
Go to Cyanogenmod Configs > Tablet > Disable lockscreen

well, as ravilov stated, we cant "flash" a different lockscreen since its buried inside the framework, but i did once use a beautifull and FULLY customisable lockscreen that was and actually have an options to stick in memory, so triggering the 3rd party lockscreen is flawless and fluid as hell ! only cons : its a payable app !
Its called Widget locker -> go take a look on the market (every slider style is customisable from MIUI style to Sense to IOS
Google play store link to widget locker
I'm hoping a developer can answer my question.
I'm running CM 10.1 Nightly (The latest one 31st Jan) on my SIII and it's superb.
I've started flashing the CM 10.1 ever since the first Nightly came out and have reverted back to Samsung's TouchWiz for the sake of some cool features such as the "Voice Enabled music player" and the "motion settings".
Is there any way I can add those functions to the CM 10.1 I'm running?
Thanks in advance.
well, you can't...
it needs to be ported, what's probably will not happen

I see...but I really loved those features on my Samsung. That's the only reason I ever went back to it.
Ahh well...I still love the CM look far better than the ****ty TouchWiz.
You can always use a 3rd party launcher or use a theme like JB Domination
Yeah but a 3rd party launcher wouldn't give him the motion settings etc.
It'll give him inly the looks that he just stated he dislikes...
he's talking about a 3rd party launcher in a Sammy-based ROM to give him an AOSP feel, alongside with the Domination theme
Add-ons

Again, all I was asking for is the motion functions that are found with the stock TouchWiz and if there's a way to flash them on by keeping the CM 10.1.
I'm not talking about looks, nor themes.
All I want are the functionality that includes raising phone up to call and what not.
You were given the answer to that question. People are just trying yo help you. The only way to have that functionality is to flash a Sammy-based ROM. If you don't like TouchWiz, you can flash Domination theme and use a custom launcher, which will give you the complete AOSP feel
I tried

I tried that. The second I use a launcher it defies the point of having the "buttery" smoothness of either the stock TouchWiz or CM Rom.
Nova launcher + widget locker just made my device slow, so thanks anyway for all your help guys .
