If I understand it correctly, that's the launcher (app drawer) from Nexus One.

would like to see 5 icons across rather than four. But not sure what else it does lol

How have you had it working, i.e. in the sense that it looks and acts like a nexus one.

We have already found that you just pull the apk from a nexus1 rom and install it onto the desire.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6002164&postcount=80
Then you goto applications and remove htcsense from being default and force close it. when you next go to the home screen it asks which one you want to use (htcsense or launcer2)
EDIT: You can also install Gallery3d from the nexus this way

But if you just install launcher2.apk from N1 it's not functioning properly -- icons are small, etc.

Works fine here, everything looks exactly as it should

Maybe I had the wrong APK. Can you share the one you've used?

EDIT: Added a picture for those who want to see it first.

You don't have to be rooted. It's just an APK

Save the file on your sd card then use an app like Super Manager or File Explorer to find it and install it
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!, May i ask where you found this?
Much Nicer!
I never really had an issue with the market app even coming from apples app store , but this just feels cleaner!
It's nice. I pushed it to my phone and had it replace the Vending.apk file in /system/app for my rom. It worked well. I didn't get any errors on the movies bit but it may wait until after the movies part is done to tell you that it doesn't work on root. Unless of course the changed that policy on movie rentals...
P.S. - I reverted to the old market. Didn't like the new one much.
I am quite cheesed off by the new one. How do I revert?

Just go to mannage applications and click on market. From there it should display an option that says uninstall updates. Just click on that and you should be good to go

I have this on my Nook. I like the old market better and don't need books, etc.

why do guys not like it? its nice, clean, works the same way but just adds more features. just curious.
It likes to not download apps I tell it to. i.e., click download "angry birds", says starting download forever.
Does the new market require WiFi connection for apps over a certain size? I can't download Adobe reader, which I've downloaded multiple times over 3g, on multiple ROMs, but can't get it to start over 3g. I'm on the newest MIUI build...
*edit- got it.... user error. Settings in the download app

[MODDED APP]Launcher2 w/ SMS Shortcut instead of Browser

Hello GUIse & Girls
I don't know about you, but I love the AOSP launcher from Android 2.3, it's sleek, compact and does exactly what it says on the tin. The only thing I have to fault about it is the fact that you cannot customise the dock to put an app of your choice there. So, I downloaded Launcher2 today and had a look in the PNG's & XML's and I saw that you can infact reroute it to show the app of your choice. So, I am introducing to you Launcher2 with the SMS Shortcut instead of the Browser. Below is a screenshot as an example, download link is also below just flash as normal via CWM. If you want anymore shortcuts adding to the dock, let me know and I'll do it. If you want to add this into your ROM. PM Me to let me know. Also, thanks to ReddV1 for giving me permission to modify and give me some tips on doing this.
THIS ONLY WORKS ON AOSP ROM's or with the AOSP SMS Installed.
Screenshots (this is been used on DevNull ROM)

Simi Clock Widget. Free app on the Market.
Nice work mate... Always liked Launcher2 but with the same thought that I'd like to change that second app...
After trying out TW I might have to give this a go!
Hi I was just wondering which message app this is trying to launch?
Every time I click on the icon it says application is not installed on your phone.
Thanks.

The icon looks like it could be ChompSMS, but I just figured that was the image used...
I will install chomp and see thanks for the advice.
Notice that NitrozK has updated the OP to show that its the AOSP SMS app that this works with...
Anyone that wishes to use this should head over to this thread:[APPS] 16 Aug: Google Stock bits for Galaxy S II ROMs where Paul has posted the AOSP SMS app along with all the others...
Note - You'll need to ADB push the app...

Congrats but useless unless you are saying you have some magical solution.
I've never tested the Tablet UI on my GNex. I suppose, having a HC tablet, that accessing the quick settings menu would be rather difficult... as well as the navigation buttons.
Would be optimal for HDMI usage though...
How can I get tablet UI?
Can somebody disable navbar in system ui for toro milestone 3, i cant compile get errors

You can't just go into tablet UI just by setting the LCD density. You have to edit the Framework files.
fail.
Thanks for telling us nothing about how u did , if u wanted to just show off just post screen shots on show off ur nexus home page.
not come here and brag.
thanks for the help OP.yours previous 3ad says more on this....(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21921799#post21921799) but it's the same method used to hide softkeys buttons...then only thing to do is change density?(other than make the modify on bools.xml in frameworks?)

Let's just wait for op. The biggest issue was that the phone would fc. I'm interested in how the op sorted that issue out. Phone fc when actually dialing out.
this thread is highly outdated and as such too complex for such a task. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543892 for a better way.

Anyone having display issues with this app? Or is it just my setup? I'm running AOKP M5 with 190dpi. The main issue is that I can flip up to go through the next pages just fine, but the moment I flip down to go back a page, it'll show the animation and the preview for that previous page, but then it'll still show the page I was on...and it basically gets stuck displaying that page (but realistically it's on the new page because if I tap on it, it'll show the new page's article). Sorry if that sounds a little confusing.
works perfect on sfhub's fe07, 240dpi. thanks!

I figured it out, it installs it on the SD card just go to Manage apps- All, then scroll till you see Flipboard press it and move to phone, i had to reinstall it before i did it

Simple fix is to reinstall it if you have not already done so. Open up titanium back up and find Flipboard. Long press and pick move to internal. The app should remain after reboot now.
I hate posting stuff late lols oh wells.

[Q] Scrollable Dock (TouchWiz)

A few days ago, I started modifying my stock launcher on my Galaxy Tab3 (GT-P5200). I've focused on the dock.
Till now I've managed to modify the launcher so far, that I can store up to 13 icons on the dock.
I also managed to remove the text from the icons. This is how my screen looks at the moment.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now I want to continue modifying the dock by making it scrollable (like the homescreen or appdrawer).
And before anyone suggests me exactly, what I do not want, I'll explain briefly what is important for me.
I don't want to use a different launcher (like Nova / AWD / Apex / or something like that).
I also do not want to use any other app, which modifies my launcher.
I simply want to modify my stock launcher (TouchWiz) by modifying the code itself
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me or at least could explain to me
where the scrolling of the homescreens is defined in the code.
.
Wonder how you get 13 icons in the dock? Wish I had that option.

Well, ... I just modified SecLauncher3.apk. But I recognized that these 13 apps won't survive a reboot.
When I reboot my device, the system/launcher (or whatever it is) resets the dock, so that only 10 apps
will be shown after reboot. I still have the possibility to put up to 13 apps on the dock, but after reboot,
only 10 apps will be shown.

Oh, yeah...thanks! I had never concidered (with my limited knowledge) that the launcher is also just an apk running on android. big ah-ha moment for me there. Thanks for the eye opener.
