is there any way I can get one of the Omate launchers on the motoactv :fingers-crossed:
thank you:good:
Anyone
OUI2 = Vire Launcher minus most of the features.
OUI1 = Stock Android launcher minus some features.
Both simply use a 2x2 grid with "Dock" disabled
You want to do this on purpose?

Hi gang....just checking...will launcher pro run on stock rom and whats the biggest features or benefits of LauncherPro?
I am using LauncherPro with stock 3588.
Following are some advantages.
Number of icons on the home screen can be customized.
Dock can be customized.
Faster than the stock classic home.
Also, you can install a Home Switcher like Home Switcher for Froyo to switch between multiple launchers.
Thanks for the reply......ill give it a try now.....thx...

I went ahead and got the paid version of LauncherPro. I absolutely love the calendar widget. There are few other cool widgets in there as well but the calendar was enough for me to shell out $2.99 or whatever it was.
Hi all,
n00b questions here. Basically, I'm trying to figure out what exactly Rosie and Launcher Pro are.
I downloaded Launcher Pro (the free version) from the Market last night and see that it basically changes the layout of the home screen and icons and such. Seems fairly customizable, and you can also change transition effects between home screens. It also changes the buttons on the bottoms on the bottom of the home screen, sort of like a "quick launch" as seen in Windows. Is there anything else I'm missing?
I'm mainly confused about what Rosie is. I've installed some Roms that include Rosie, but I have no idea what it does or how to use it. The only thing I've seen is that there was a Rosie button on the bottom right of my home screen, which would open up one app that I assign that button to. And when I go into the Rosie settings from my app drawer, the only thing I can change is what program that one button opens. I think I'm missing something here, but Rosie seems pointless.
Also, is it worth it buying the paid version of Launcher Pro? Or do some custom ROMs include a mod of launcher pro that you don't need to pay for?
Thanks!
Rosie is what the sense launcher you got when you got your phone.
Launcherpro is basically just another home, which will replace rosie if you decide to make it your default home. No Roms will include the paid version of launcherpro and I highly recommend you to buy it to support the dev.

Thanks for the info.
Is Launcher Pro generally considered better than Rosie and what most seasoned Android users would use?

It's all about preference. Launcher Pro is very easily customized while Rosie is pretty much the same on every device (albeit there are differences with each Sense version). Launcher Pro is a lot leaner because it doesn't come with all that Sense baggage and I prefer it to other home replacements when using AOSP roms.

It's all really what you like and don't. LP is very nice and cinfigurable, bit its all in personal preference.
There are also a few other launchers out there worth checking out.
SPB Shell 3D
ADW EX
Regina
Zeam
GO Launcher
QuickDesk
Just need to pick the best one for you & your needs.
I use Go launcher. Has the quick launch bar on the bottom nice features and its free. Be aware you cant use sense widgets with an aftermarket launcher
I also use Go Launcher EX, was using Zeam but needed something more customizable.
But as stated before.... It's your preference
is there a way to modify Rosie to allow changes to the 3 icons on the bottom of the launcher? switch out the personalize icon for handcent?
is there a way to remove pages from the rosie launcher?
I love the profiles feature that senseui brings but I hate the fact that you only get two dock buttons. Are there any launchers that are as robust as sense or GO Launcher that also offer profiles?
LauncherPro paid version is definitively worth it.
I use Go launcher,but adw too good
To the hardworking developers, with due respect, i have been using PAC ROM since long time on my LG OG, one thing i am missing from the very first day is the customize able rows and columns both in the Home Screen and App Drawer, and Re size able icons, specially in 4.4 build the icons are so big and have an order of 5 columns, so they don't look good, if the respected developers could please consider my demand. thanks to all in advance!
Use Nova launcher
I really recommend using Apex Launcher (would give link, but new member here), as it supports icon and font themes, easy to pick up and customize!

If you want to keep stock launcher (Google Now Launcher), Bexton has made an awesome Xposed Module that adds the features you want.

I use Apex since a few years, too. For me it's the best launcher. The customizability is great. Besides there are a lot of themes at play store.
Apex is the answer, have not needed anything else after first try
Remember the Itching Thumb launcher for Android? It was a WebOS-esque home screen launcher which could manage all running applicatiobs, in a simple UI. Searching the internet returns the odd dysfunctional APK. Is there an updated/equivalent app which does this reilably on Android 4.4.4 KitKat or similar recent version?
Fancy Switcher and Switchr both have modes that look a bit like that.
I'm preferably looking for a home launcher...

I was preferably looking for a home screen launcher, which would do this, rather than an app which is launched via gestures.(Much like itching thumb) -- Do you know lf any apps which do this?
I've never seen a launcher that does that on Android, but if I'm not mistaken, you can configure Fancy Switcher/Switchr to only activate when your launcher is open.
Thanks
I'll keep on looking, but it is indeed a shame that such an app isn't presently available.
I am really very impressed with Nova Launcher 3.3.
You will experience lollipop ui on your Alpha.

TouchwizHome.apk
Can one or has a TouchwizHome.apk for the 5x5 icons in a column.
Can provide my normal TouchwizHome.apk Deodexed.
resource friendly launcher
i'm on 4.4.4 g850f galaxy alpha and i use for about 3 months apus launcher
i have tried all possible launchers but returned to this one because is the most fluent and the less resource consummer
with this i have only around 600 mb ram used, with touchwiz 800-1200 mb used, nova launcher 800-1000 mb used, holo launcher around 800 mb, etc.
battery lasts 2 days with 5h screen on, wifi on but only in this 5h of navigation, some calls and 1h of fatal fight(game) of course
pluses about apus launcher:
- nice icons (real life theme)
- no app drawer, all are on screenwindows, like on ios - maby this is the cause of resource friendly
- rapid access to all apps
- apps are sorted in folders by default but you can rearrange them as you wish
NOTE - i promote this launcher because simply i like how it works on my SG Alpha, on my other phone (LG G2) i use the stock launcher wich is great
link here to my screenshots - http://postimg.org/gallery/n6l63qmu/
thank you
I've been using Apus for a while but I started to get annoyed about the popups. Does it have to remind me every night at 10 PM to go to sleep?
I found no way to remove that feature.
Then I found out about Hola Launcher (not Holo)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hola.launcher
It is very similar to Apus, has no popups, very clean and light interface, small memory footprint.
Also has some pluggable features, like the icon badge plugin, if that's your thing.
here are a couple of screenshots of my phone
For me, the best launcher is the Smart Launcher Pro 3.

So Hola is better than Apus?
Damn I didn't know Nova also uses that much RAM.....
Nova Prime launcher is without any doubt the best launcher not only for Alpha but for all the android smartphones. It is the most stable launcher ( 0 crashes in 4 years use with 4 smartphones ) , the most clear launcher ( Apex is also clear) with zero bloatware and has serious customization. The majority of others launchers targets on users who want special scrolling effects, ready themes, widgets and auto customization. Nova and Apex are like two solid metallic spheres and the other launchers are like plastic spheres with birds, flowers, cars, butterflies and blah blah blah on them.
The worst problem with custom launchers on 5.0.2 firmware is this problem:
1) Open few apps
2) Go to recent apps
3) Press clear all
Result - launcher will be restarted (full redraw, back to default screen) there is no such problem with default launcher or with 4.4.4 firmware with any launcher.
I have written to samsung support about it, but they just tell me that they don't test 3rd party launchers at all and this is a problem of 3rd party devs, but actually it is in samsung firmware definitely.
Next Launcher 3D is the best launcher ever for Android
