I was using Omega but the Go Launcher was awesome, I have now moved to Resurrection Rom 9.6 unfortunately its a full wipe ROM but it works amazingly with the NOVA Launcher. I find the Touchwiz ok but NOVA gives a better experience in ICS
I tried to use it on resurrection 9.6..I doesn't work...I liked Nova launcher but it has very limited options and I don't like the black back ground in application drawer... two was simple and yet configurable and I liked the slightly transparent background and the bounce effect in application drawer and home screen which could be configured..again this feature is missing in Nova launcher...I feel Nova launcher has very limited options

I got a question and any help would be appreciated.
I have a launcher and lock that I would like to port to a stock s3 rom or cm base.
Does anyone have any information on how I go about doing this?

What launcher and Lockscreen are you thinking about? Some launchers can be as easy as pulling the apk out and installing in another device. Others may take certain modifications. Lockscreens could be a lot more difficult though.

The launchers I'm talking about are these, they are in a sense the same but different versions. They are also from an Acer port:
here they are.... 1. http://d-h.st/Zel 2. http://d-h.st/aEc
if you need any other information about them let me know (rom they were taken from etc)
Any help will be appreciated and if doable and you are you to it I will pay. (For a fully working launcher)
Also thanks for the reply.

Title says it all. I'm running the latest cm10 with the trebuchet stock launcher. Wanting a launcher that supports scrollable widgets while also having the persistent Google search bar ... any ideas which one will do this? Any free? Or will I have to buy my first app?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
I use Nova. It has what you're looking for and its free unless you want the pro features, I also used apex for a long time, they are both really good. I feel nova is a little smoother

Thanks! Last question on this... Can launchers kill battery faster than stock launchers?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Oh boy. Tried nova. Didn't work for a scrollable widget I have. Holo did. But no persistent search. Holo HD had the search but no option to enable scrolling widgets. :banghead:

My apologies I've never used scrolling widgets so I didn't know it did not work. As far as battery I have never noticed any extra drain by using different launchers.

Until UKB and Viper I was using CM10 and Apex Launcher was my go-to. It's got the persistent search bar as an option and also used my scrollable calendar widget with it.
EDIT: It's also free with the option to buy, which gives you more customization.

+1 on apex. I have a calendar widget that scrolls and it offers the persistent search.
I'm using the photo contacts widget and it won't work w apex. If you look on the market it says adw, go, etc ... any launcher that supports scrollable widgets. So should I assume the widget is at fault? Is there an option to enable it in apex that I'm missing?
Any of you guys have suggestions on a good contacts widget? I like the photo contacts one and have used it since day 1 but maybe its time to move on....

I haven't used it, so it's hard to say, but they don't specifically mention nova or apex. Wish I could be more helpful.
I've used nova, apex, and go, and I always seem to go back to trebuchet, I hardly ever use Widgets so its the cleanest launcher for me

The new ADW launcher is awesome. Just got updated.
New ADW!?!!! WTF?!?!!?!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes indeed... version 1.3.3.7.... see what they did there? LoL... I haven't used it yet though... I'm sure it's great, ADW was always my launcher when on gingerbread or CM7... wonder how it mixes with CM9 or 10....

Pure awesome. Thanks adw. Persistent search bar and scrollable widgets. Very smooth and tons of options. Adios nova and apex.

Sure.
Not a big fan of the pop up menu in the new ADW. Would like to see it as optional. Also the transitions are a bit choppy even with some speed tweaks. Those were the only things I have noticed off the bat. I plan on playing with it more but will probably revert to Nova pending future ADW EX updates.

I'm using scrollable widgets on nova.
I'm confused as why you guys cannot maybe because I am prime?

Anyone try out the Buzz launcher yet? Pretty damn cool! Some themes need some tweaking because they're for smaller screen size, but the ability to share layouts is awesome!!

I just heard about Buzz Launcher yesterday. It's pretty cool for finding and trying new homescreens on your device. I download and tried 5-6 yesterday. I don't like some of how the launcher operates though. I still prefer Nova, but that's personal preference. Does anyone know where it downloads the files to when you download and install a new homescreen? I want to use some of the icons from one homescreen with some of the icons from a different homescreen, but I can't figure out where it saves the files. I thought it was saving them on my sdcard, but I can't find them. If anyone knows the file location of the saved homescreens let me know. Thanks!
So has development of TW ROMs stopped? Is there not any mods or tweaks left to make a unique TW ROM? I'm kind of getting bored of having the same styled ROMs because honestly all CM based ROMs are pretty much the same because of the fact that they are all CM based obviously. It was nice having TW and CM7. Then getting CM9 and CM10 and now CM10.1 but it seems that all the ROMs have the same basic settings and themes.
Avatar ROM was a little different and I liked it but not too much different since its also CM10.1 based. What I'm really looking for is a TW ROM with all the mods that they're used to be like the lockscreens and clock position in status bar and all the little things that made TW ROMs better. Do any of those even exist anymore for any phone?

You not so satisfied with The People's and Legacy? I don't use them but they still seem popular after all this time.
And why not take time to theme and mod CM ROMs yourself? Themes, lockscreen mods, launchers and widgets are scattered around for you to revamp the experience. Personally I don't like non-AOSP style, but to imitate a GS3 I downloaded a "GS3-Addon", did a bit modification to it and flashed upon a CM10 nightly, which in the end turned out to be REALLY, REALLY similar experience to the real TouchWiz 5!
Just saying, you can try similar tricks yourself, though it takes some time

Could you post a screenshot of your TW 5? I'd like to see how close you've gotten. And your right about all that but I'm honestly just missing the good old TW ROMs that had amazing battery life and many tweaks and themes and stuff. I used to theme TW ROMs and worked on a few mods and I was doing pretty good but that was last summer. Since I started college I haven't really had much free time to work on that kind of stuff.

Not SO close actually TW-specific apps are mostly missing. But apps like S Note, Super Video (floating video player on S3), TW5 launcher and widgets are all there. More I can't remember.
I'll post screenshots 2 days later as we're having tests these days and my E4G is currently on CM10.1 so I have to restore the nandroid backup.

Its cool don't worry about the screenshots.
Do you know a way to get the lockscreen on cm10.1 to be like it was on 10 and 9? I mean to have the rings with the shortcuts before the actual unlock pattern? Is there a way to change that? I wanna start working on my ROM to make it the way I actually want.

@lilajrestnom Hey I have an idea. Settings - Lockscreen - check "Maximize widgets". In this way you'll have to long press the lock icon on the bottom of the screen to bring up the lock security, which I think is just what you want. This is tested to work with "pattern" lock security.

Ya I've done that and that's the closest I can get to what I actually want. I really just wanted the real rings before the pattern lock but it seems like that's the best I can do for now thanks tho.
