Install a custom rom or install Apex Launcher.

Thanx 4 the reply mate... bt i am not looking to unroot my phone as of now...
I tried the go launcher , it was good but it showed lags on my hox..
I like the sense ui interface of home screens , just dont like the application page... bt apex launcher would probably
Work above the sense interface nd would ruin my phone....
Any other way out... i also use a sgs3 and it has a perfect app screen .. dont know why would htc not notice this ....

not at all, you might not be able to uninstall the sense launcher, but it doesn't stay in the memory. just try the free version for a while, you'll see..

IMO Nova and Apex are the best and the fastest on ICS at the moment. They provide lot of features and customization options. But unfortunately none of the 3rd party launchers support sense widgets (i.e Clock, People widget, calender etc.). If you don’t want to root then there is no way to have sense widgets and custom app drawer.

Thank you all for the response . I will try out both the launchers and would get back with the experience.

Go into apex settings and set drawer opacity to 25.

[Q] What launcher do you suggest?

Hey guys and girls this will be my first android device and reading up on all the apps and widgets is a little daunting.
So this is the question : im going to be changing my dock icons because they remind me to much of my current Iphone 4, So i need a launcher?
What launcher does everyone suggest i try out and why?
I dont mind paying for a launcher just as long as its not to buggy or a memory/power hog.
Thanks in advance.
i'm going to go for LP Sense:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fr.clockwidget.lpslatesense
runs great on my Hero...just need to get a SGS2
why use a different launcher off the block.. try the new twiz 4 launcher that comes with it first for a while..
I personally like ADW EX i like the swipe animations and the overall feel of it on my EVO. I have seen it run slowly on lower power devices. The level of customizations that are available to the user is amazing. And you can get it for free in some Roms. Thats how i stumbled upon it. It has several ways to anaimate screen swipes. But if you want a true 3d effect try shell 3d. I dont know of a way to get it for free but i did try it out for a while and it was pretty cool, but it even felt kind of slow on my evo.
Ive gone with slide screen its beautiful, how about a lock screen, this drag the background thing is so poor

Try LauncherPro.. The best in my opinion
I tried launcher pro and finds its not smooth atm on this phone, it feels a bit jerky when going in to the apps window.

That's weird, it's flawlessly smooth on my Galaxy S 1. However, if you're using a live wallpaper then the transition into the app drawer (and then scrolling through it) is stuttery.
Apart from that, I'd throw my vote to LauncherPro too, especially if you buy the Plus version.
Reasons:
- Easily resize widgets and change homescreen grid sizes
- Virtual looping of homescreens (get to the end and it'll flick back to the farthest, no need to scroll all the way back)
- Homescreen transitions (instead of boring sideways scrolling can have 3D flips or the widgets rotate away)
- 'Plus' adds lots of extremely handy smooth, scrollable widgets almsot identical to what HTC Sense provides
- These widgets have now been made theme-able as of the latest update
- Can use in landscape or portrait
- Scrollable dock (scroll through 3 docks of 5 icons each)
- Dock icons and background can be changed, so my icons look like WP7's
- Can set an action for swiping up from any dock icon (eg: touching Internet icon launches the browser, but swiping the Internet icon instead displays a list of bookmarks!)
- On my Galaxy S was smoother for me than ADW

I'm going to use the wp live wallpaper so I don't need a clock, but I do like the animated weather on wake up ( reminds me of my HD2 love you forever and ever ) so that sounds like a good pick.
what about go launcher ? any thoughts?
And I've seen touch wiz in vids I like the tiled widgets but I dislike the dock icons looking like iPhone. so can I Change the dock icons to stock android without a launcher?

No I dun think so. You would need to use another launcher if the dock is definitely a no-go for you.

i actually don't use the LP Sense clock, I use FancyWidgets, like you say...far more customisable.

What about the VTL Launcher 1.6.2 ??
It's a matter of taste really, GO Launcher, LauncherPro and ADW are all great. SPB Shell 3D is good if you like eye candy, but pretty expensive.

can you set the weather widget and have the animation, like rain but have the widget invisible?
I just want to see my wp clock wallpaper and have the weather show like the clouds and the rain and thunder but not see the widget? if you cant ill settle for picking a small widget?
Thanks again for all the replys guys they are helping a tone.
Also what launcher has more icon themes ?
Launcherpro for me. Smooth as silk, really quick and it just works...
Launcher pro is not as smooth as before with sgs2. it was better on my htc desire.
I have been using AWD EX as not being able to change the messaging for Chomp SMS on the touchwiz was driving me mad. But I am getting cronic lag on switching screens. Not all the time. Just often enough to be anoying. Reading what others have been saying, I can only assume we need to tweek the phone a bit.

launcher pro and ADW launchers in HTC Wildfire

Hi
I am owning a HTC WIldfire with Froyo (official update)
Recently I heard about launcher pro apk. I have seen the screen shots(googling) and I find it very cool by the looks and setups...
My questions are :
1. How much advanced is launcher pro over HTC Sence launcher ?
2. Does installing launcher pro throws away HTC Sence for the rest of my phones life ???
3. Any disadvantages of launcher pro - like sluggish,slow etc
4. How many home screens does it provide ?
... and all info on launcher pro if you guys can give me.....
1. Far more advanced. They are a lot more customizable than the Stock Sense launcher
2. No, You can always switch back, besides, you will only lose the Sense Launcher. Sense goes far beyond it's launcher, but, you WILL lose the ability to use any Sense based Widget.
3. No, actually, its the opposite. Its lightning quick. Scrolling between homescreens, scrolling the app drawer with the 3D effect - Its instantaneous. So much so that my friend with a Stock Desire said my phone feels smoother.
4. Configurable from 1,3,5,7

While using launcher pro as a home screen launcher, you will not be able to use any sense widgets like Calendar, Weather Clock, etc.
Launcher Pro PLUS (paid) comes with it`s own widgets that replicate sense look and feel (minus the weather widget, that`s another debate.)
You can go back to Sense at anytime and use the sense widgets. Nothing is lost.

There is an app called "HD Wallpapers" (by srsdev). It is available in market as a free version.
It has lots and lots of categorised cool wallpapers. But it requires mobile data connection to download the wallpapers. And once u open a wallpaper image, it will be stored as a cache data on memory card. That means u donot need to have internet connection to open the image for the 2nd time , and also for setting it as a wallpaper.
And the best thing is it even has the option to save ur cool wallpapers to sdcard. The saved path will be sdcard/Wallpapers/My Wallpapers/
[And wallpapers will not be specific for wildfire. They are just images. There will be live wallpapers also which are also not specific for wildfire. Don't mind if u know that.]
Can anybody tell wich is better in your opinion, ADW or launcherpro?
Hi All
I installed Launcher Pro... let me tell you it has thrown out all my doubts !!!
Really cool...and fast..an excellent launcher app...with gr8 looks...
but the problems are not having weather and clock widgets (My home screen looks empty without this...) Can anyone one tell what weather and clock widgets are there in market for free so that I can use in my launcher pro..
note : I tried the gtab simi clock.. but I dont know if I went wrong with its settings..when i add the clock widget to my home screen that place blacks out ! means not showing the clock even though I set the time and other stuffs...

Thats gr8 to know... I will try it out..yeah I know that live wallpaper will not work with Wildfire until you have rooted it. By the way I used the links provided by '3xeno' to get some wallpapers..those are really good looking...
Also I read in that thread that using .png files gives more stylish view of a picture than .jpeg is that true ?
Format by itself doesn't make any difference. For the Clock and Weather Widget, Google for Fancy Widget 1.3.0. It's a replica of the HTC Widget, but was removed from the market for violating HTC's copyrights, but, it can still be found on many sites. (The market has the new version of Fancy Widget, but, it obviously doesn't look like HTC's, but, the Pro version (Paid) has a skin which looks like one)

I tried to set the Sim clock again... what is width of left side in pixels.. default is 120.. but when i use it as 120 itself.. the place where it is suppose to show the time blacks out and it only displays 15 and black colur ends there... where it is supposed to show as 15|28 - which is the current time in 24 hour !
Use 50. 120 will start the display of the clock from the centre of the screen.
Regarding choosing between launcher pro and adw launcher, its actually the users choice.
There is a lot of difference in performance between htc sense and launcher pro. But there is little/no difference between launcher pro and adw launcher. And also it depends whether u have the full versions of them. I don't know much about adw full version. But launcher pro full version (called launcher pro plus or LPP) unlocks the widgets of it (u can see the widget list even from the free version). And LPP has features of scrollable and resizable widgets. That means u can have any widget to be displayed from 1x1 to 4x4. In my opinion , i choose launcher pro. The adw launcher gives me a little delay while opening the app drawer menu. But it is very necessary to rule out htc sense if u r looking for performance. And one more thing, for persons (who can root their phones) interested in increasing the performance, it is better to choose AOSP roms because JIT compiler, a performance optimizer from froyo cannot be enabled in sense roms and also certainly htc sense is absent in AOSP roms. [some of the reasons why i want rooting is --- to rule out the htc sense, enable JIT compiler, tethering options (root-only apps), overclocking, live wallpapers and of course gingerbread custom roms.]
And regarding weather and clock widget, i will make a note of 3 apps, and the lite versions of all these three are available in market presently.
---"Animated Weather" (by Mobilityflow Arts). If u r looking for a widget which looks like htc one, then this is ur option. Not 100% identical to htc, but it almost looks like htc one. I don't know about the features of the lite and full versions of this. Just noting this to tell u that this (even the lite version) looks more similar to the htc one.
---"Beautiful Widgets" (by LevelUp Studio) . A word of caution for this in the market. "THIS LITE VERSION IS AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET ONLY FOR A LIMITED PERIOD". So, hurry for this cool widget. A very nice and preferable one. It even has free version of additional "BW Animation Pack". Install the animation pack also. It shows cool 3D weather animations right after u unlock ur screen (and they will be shown everywhere, not only on the homescreen). Here in this u can have animation effects on lite version also. The lite version somewhat attempts to look like htc one, it even has download option for few skins. Sorry i don't know the features of the present full version of this.
---"Fancy Widget" (by Android Does) . This one is also good. The lite version doesn't show animations. The full version unlocks animation and other features. For making it look like htc one, go to Appearance Settings/Widget style -- and set it to flip clock (sorry this option is available in full version only). The animation effects in full version are excellent. Even there are sound effects. Same here, the animation effects are triggered right after u unlock the screen (and they will be shown everywhere, not only on the homescreen). Im using full version of this and i feel like having live wallpapers on stock froyo (specially when it rains). But the animation stops just after u touch the screen after unlock. The full version of this supports downloading skins with which u can increase the way it looks like htc (i expect the full versions of all the three support downloading skins). And merely changing the skin will not make it look like htc, that flip clock option also contributes.
NOTE: I have checked the above 3 widgets with launcher pro only. And finally what i suggest u is to make a google search. The above information might be obsolete. And U can really rediscover a lot of things on searching. So always consider to search for things.

Lock Screen mod?

hi there, nobody posted any lock app thread yet so here it goes.
I tried Go unlock but i think it hogs the resources over time and become laggy.
anyone else can recommend a sturdy one to install?
or any good rooting mod for this to make it 100% smooth?

Try the MIUI lock screen. They made it free and available through Play Store. You have tons of styles, themes, and all you ever wanted from a lock screen..
thanks, tried MIUI just now.
It has the 3dot menu on the lock screen after setting lock screen.
so i suppose the 3dot menu mod will get rid of this.
still feel bit un-smooth with MIUI tho.
some reason the sense one is the best so far
Try this.

Does someone know a metro-style lockscreen that runs stable and hasn't got the 3dots menu enabled? I just tried a few but there was none that really worked. Unfortanetly, for I love the tiles' look alot.
Another question: is it possible to change the icons of apps on WidgetLocker? And is the 3dots menu disabled?

Hello,
I use widgetlocker on my One X. Yes, you can change the icons af the apps. Also there is no "3dots menu".
When you install adwnotifier you also get notification-count numbers on the lockscreen like in the normal sense lockscreen (for telephone, SMS, Mail[GMail and K9]).
I like it very much and use it in combination with apex launcher on stock rom without root.
Only the sense3 lockscreen from widgetlocker is a little laggy at my phone.
Thank you. I've installed WidgetLocker now and I like it. One problem though: I've got some icons in .png format that work great with Apex Launcher. But if I try to add them in WidgetLocker, they'll get a black background instead of a transparent one. So, how can I use these icons?

I also prefer the sense lock screen, if that's possible.
lock screen with notification bubbles available on unlock icons (i.e. texts, email, calls) which show u the number of each respective new notifications (like sense has). Also those notification bubbles available on the icons in the launcher (like sense also has, and apex launcher pro)
I was using apex launcher pro with CM9 but I miss the notification bubbles on the unlock icons that sense offers.
I really like the available weather on the lock screen. But it'd be nice if there was a weather widget available that looked just like the weather on the lock screen. I really like the look of the lockscreen weather and would like that on my home screen.
also, an option to assign a shortcut to double tapping the home key. There is an app that offers this (Home2 shortcut) but itd be nice to have this built into CM9. right now shortcuts can be assigned to long press but itd be nice to have both long press and double tap as shortcut options

I like Sense pretty much, so I would be happy not to divert too far from it. The audio-player is very nice with the possibility to add other similar apps, like the FM Radio. This way all I need is the widget on one of my screens and I have access to it all. Please keep that.
Beats is still the best preset, just make that annoying icon go away from status-bar.
HTC weather and clock are nice!
Am I right, that the MIUI dialer looks like the Sense one?
I think, that in Sense all is so well integrated, that most should be kept and adding less is more. But then, I am just a noob, what do *I* know?!
Oh, and please try to port and add the One X camera mod (no compression).

Blinkfeed widget?

Is there a way someone could make a blinkfeed widget so we can still have it on like nova or apex launcher?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you need the Sense launcher to run Sense widgets due to them needing HTC's framework.
Maybe the flipboard widget is an alternative?
Blink Feed is basically an amalgam of Flipboard and Pulse. Though I find Pulse's layout easier to digest, their widgets leave a lot to be desired. Amy suggestions on alternatives for third party launchers?

Nova Launcher
I am a bit stuck on this too. I really prefer the Apex Launcher but I am liking blinkfeed as well... I am hoping someone can find a way to make them play nice together...
MG
I don't understand why this can't be done.
all we need is a shortcut to the feed. in theory, even with nova Orr similar running, blink feed is still doing its thing in the background, we just can't get to it.
I'm sure some one like nova could do:
say you have 3 home screens set, instead of infinite scroll,
you could have the left most side of home screen one set as a shortcut.
I then you could set the short cut to blink feed (or anything else you might want to use)
it would be pretty much the same as we have but with a custom launcher.
does that make sense?
this is already possible with thde MoDaCo tool kit. check out 3:16 on this video

Best solution out there. I too love Blinkfeed, but prefer other launchers over the Sense launcher, mainly for things like custom grid sizes and being able to feed my addiction on mycolorscreen.com.
Incidentally, I use Nova and a custom shortcut - same thing.
