Launchers with support for the Fold? - Samsung Galaxy Fold Questions & Answers

I managed to get a Fold on Wednesday, so obviously I've been fiddling with it ever since.
The main thing that's bugging me is there lack of any third party launchers that support dual layouts for dual screen devices. Not surprising I know since there aren't exactly many around yet, but I'm hopeful that one of the popular launchers will start to support it soon.

Totally and looking forward specially Nova to support. Being my faithful launcher since it's inception.

Unfolded

Hi Sorry can't seems to load the image you have attached on the Folded mode, would you be able to attach it again. Thank you.
Update: The topic we are discussing is that the current launchers don't support the dual layouting for folded and unfolded. That's what we are after. Nova if not fully working. But I would like to Nova to have two different layout from each inside and outside. I hope that will come true one day.

Dude tkbay just published a video of his fold, hes using nova launcher, it Support the dual set ups for the outer and the inner displays

Looks like the One UI launcher as the app drawer is pages not scrolling. I just tried the latest beta of Nova again and it still has no options or support for dual layouts.

They're aware of it. I had a message from them a couple of months ago to say they may include it in a future release.

Apex Launcher is working great on my Fold. It will squish the tray icons though if you have to many.

well a launcher is an application which provides you with the user interface. It is the homescreens, the dock, the appdrawer and all the aesthetics related to them are defined by the launcher application.
I support ADW Launcher..the best one..
I tried almost 10 different launchers..but found ADW Launcher is best..
Snap review of certain launchers tested on SGA
Personally used all these launchers on the Galaxy Ace
GO Launcher EX
Definitely a very good launcher lot of customisations comes with a lot of other plugins and theme packs and companion widgets like GO Contacts, GO Weather etc. Works well on the SGA doesnt consume too much ram and very responsive and best part a lot of options which other home launchers charge for, it provides for free.
Regina 3D Launcher
As the name suggests 3D like the SPB Shell 3D but free...fairly recent app so still some bugs a bit laggy on the SGA works better if you have fair amount of free ram and not as many widget support as SPB Shell 3D. Needs other companion apps for weather support. Has lot of potential.
Slidescreen
Been around for some time, completely different launcher only single homescreen with all your notifications including Facebook, twitter, SMS, appearing on one page...not very customisable...can be used as a side launcher with another main launcher...tested on SGA...no issues with speed. In one word Simple...maybe too simple for some
Zeam Launcher
Last...and the smallest in file size...less than half an mb..but not least in functionality and speed...consumes very little ram and highly customisable...and even has gesture support built in...inspite of being such a small size...works like a charm on the SGA and looks good too...my personal favourite...does what its supposed to do launch with not making you wait for it.
personally i prefer too the zeam launcher.

also I forgot to add if you would like to see this work with launchers like apex or nova to get more of an ics feel you should go vote on their suggestion sites
here http://novalauncher.uservoice.com/forums/145180-nova-launcher
and here http://apexlauncher.uservoice.com/forums/146396-general-feedback
and vote to have shortcuts to different homescreens (at this point it would be easier for it to work with nova launcher since it already has customizable icons but apex launcher should be getting that soon)
Wow that looks pretty cool!
Cheers for the guide, I have used this as inspiration for my home screens, I'm still working on a few bits but will post screenshots later.

This is why you need to go vote in nova launchers suggestions for nova launcher to have shortcuts to different home screens because nova allows some basic widget backup

Working on a new work around for this, and it should also improve battery life, and possibly amount of time to set up (for everyone but me). The basic idea is this, instead of using a widget to cover up the home screen icons, edit your wallpaper to cover up the icons and have that as the style instead. I havent had much time to work with this yet but i will hopefully get this up and running soon. But i have tested and the shortcuts do survive a wipe if you just backup adw, so you shouldnt have to do any work to set this up after flashing things.
created a work around heres the background... image still needs some editting as it does not like up quiet right with actions

What you have to do is resize it to cover over it and that is how you move it over. The youtube video is a bit better to see how to do this.
That's what I did and when I did it still wouldn't let me.

[THEME/UI][TUTORIAL][VIDEO ADDED!] DropUI | A minimal UI (updated: 15th Sept)

*Click image for high res. version.​
It has been a while since I made a real homescreen, I had been using Windows Phone for a while before I got my Galaxy S3. You guys have no idea how suffocating those tiles were (But I still love the MetroUI).
So, I call this setup DropUI cause of the raindrops in it. I have this strange fascination about them, they calm me down. You might notice the edges have black spots, they're there so that the screen looks rounded too. Inside the screen is another layer (or I call it a base). The base has the nav, the dock and the folders. I had to include the dock inside the wallpaper and then use blank icons on my launcher cause 7x10 grid was a pain to work with.
I had seen many setups before I created this, the best and the most unique ones used SweeterHome which is a beta launcher and is clunky. I believe in functionality over looks so I chose one of the best launchers out there, Apex Launcher. (You can use GoLauncher too but Apex has some nice gesture controls.) I made most of it, I had to mash up two icon sets and add in some effects to them. (resources are listed below). Unlike most of the complex setups which make it really hard to change wallpapers, each of my homescreen changes its wallpaper automatically. I had to make couple of wallpaper variations but same wallpapers get boring after a while. The folders are made up of Simi Folder widget and the text is made up of Minimalistic Text.

[APP] Nova Launcher Beta (for 4.4.2 with KitKat look)

This the best Launcher I have ever used, fully customizable and looks just like KitKat works on 4.3 and 4.4.2 aswell.
What I like about it is that you can hide apps in the app drawer, like hide stuff or bloatware you don't use and also rename and change the icon of any app. Also works with transparent status bar and navigation buttons.

Always rated Nova as number 1.
I've honestly tried almost every other launcher out there, including Aviante. I keep coming back to Nova Launcher. The stock launcher has improved some, but there are still a few things I miss from Nova. The first thing is the pop-up when you long hold on a app icon. That pop-up has "Uninstall" right there, so I don't need to view the App Info just to uninstall it. I can also remove the icon without having to drag it to the top of the screen. Second thing is that other settings such as Wallpaper is within a long-hold + tap's reach. I can also add multiple app icons to the desktop whereas I can't with the default launcher.

TW launcher mod?

Is there a festure/mod/toggle for turning off that crap that comes up when you swipe all the way left on the stock launcher? I really like tw, yes I said I like tw... But I'm used to phones with infinite scroll mods.

Don't use TW launcher personally. Slow and so limited. Nova, Apex and Go are all superior launchers in speed and features. You get infinite scroll and no magazine UI.

Yep as a launcher TW is meant to be pretty for the noobs but not terribly functional. There are lots of great weather widgets out there.

Ya I've always used Nova prime on my phone, but was just trying to make it work for the tab. Just couldn't cut it tho.

Were you able to find a weather widget you like instead?

You can try "Weather & Clock Widget Android".
Out of fairness I just gave the Touchwiz homescreen interface another look. I honestly cannot imagine why anyone would choose that interface over the other far more full-featured, lag free and robust launchers available. I mean Touchwiz doesn't even have a scrollable app doc at the bottom of the screen. Using a quality launcher is as close as you can get to running a custom rom without being rooted. Sure its fine for users with no desire to customize and keep things very basic but come on, its weak sauce.
I dont know how but the TW weather widget works fine for me on the nova.. it dosnt work on my s4 though.

Thanks for that. Never bothered checking Sorry no thanks button push. Used all mine up for the day already.
Well I've always hated TW and used launchers like NOVA and my current one, APEX on the Note 3. Now, I am liking the TW so far on the TAB S and still running it. I like the magazine screen and if there were a way to use that on one of those other launchers I'd probably switch. Only lag I've seen so far on TW is when scrolling to the left for the magazine screen.

1st you have to make sure you are running a different launcher like Nova. Then you can either freeze it with TB or Uninstall it. I Uninstaller mine to free the space up. Also removed all the magazine crap and quick briefing.
i have no lag and for the first time really like the Hancom Viewer as well as the Quick Briefing page. i 110% dont think it should be forced on us but would activate if it was.
infinite scroll would be my main request as well as possibly more rows and columns
Well now I am using Nova on the TAB S. After some persistent lag I decided to abandon TW. I tried Apex which is flawless on my Note 3 but it's very laggy on this tablet. Nova has been real smooth so far.
