Hey i only would like to ask if someone can port the Sense 5 or sense 5.5 Launcher from HTC devices to other android devices? because the touchwiz launcher or xperia launcher is already Ported?? So can someone try it please ?
Thanks a Lot

Sense is really integrated with the system, so its really hard to isolate only the launcher and its required frameworks. If memory serves, sense 3/4 launchers are available.

But touchwiz is also integrated in the system ?

Not really, it is separate, HTC on the other hand always integrates their launcher so much that it can't even be modified properly.

Hi...just interested to know if people are using any alternative launchers or alternative apps such as the messaging app as opposed to the stock stuff and WHY?

I use QuickPic instead of Gallery. Because you can hide folders and you don't get the network folders showing up.

Is that the paid version as i miss vertical grid scrolling option?
What about messaging apps...don't think the stock app offers privacy mode!
Sent from my U8815 using Tapatalk 2
I switch from back and forth from stock to the Xperia s launcher. It runs smooth on this phone and looks great too.

Anyone installed Nova launcher yet? Coming from a GNex I think that would be my first order of business. Any performance issues, resolution problems, etc?

ive been running nova for over a week now, and it runs like a champ
I tried to deal with sense for about 4 hours yesterday... App spacing is atrocious and that dock is fugly and you can't change it to anything remotely attractive... Installed nova and doubt I will look back until maybe a desense Rom is developed
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
I got mine today and set everything up before loading nova back on. Nice and smooth as always.
Best thing is, the locksreen shortcuts are what is on the sense dock. You can set those to anything, then go to nova.
Anyone able to get wallpapers to scroll??
I'm trying Nova, but many of the Sense widgets are missing. I wish there was an app that would allow 4x5 layout on the stock setup. Does anyone know of anything like this? 4x4 just looks silly on such a large display.

Doesn't Apex do that? Set the grid to 5 x 4 in the home screen settings

He wants to use the sense widgets, but can't with a different launcher.

Is there anyway to get either one of these to work with nova launcher?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
nope, touchwiz widgets need touchwiz to run.
Unfortunately, there is no way they will run with any 3rd party launcher.
I thought so but just wanted to, make sure. Thanks

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.

I don't believe you have to be rooted to install the touchwiz launcher.

I thought you did since its like a system default app

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

The new everything home launcher from playstore is able to use sense widgets on sense 5. How's that I thought they won't work on launchers except sense. Anyway to look at the code of the launcher to make sense widgets work on other launchers.

kudos to the developers of that launcher and the other one that can (i forget its name)
if other 3rd party launchers do the same great...i doubt any rom developers will bother modding other launchers for it
and remember, many use a 3rd party launcher when desensing a rom....you would still need to leave fusion and all the accompanying sense widgets in /system/app to use them...so you arent running a slimmed down setup
Tested this launcher out didn't see sense widgets.
