looking for samsung launcher/widgets

im looking for the samsung launcher with the samsung widgets. or a way to somehow magically use SENSE widgets with a different launcher.
any other cool launchers to play with as well?
i heard rumors of acer/LG/moto launchers, but have not been able to find them.
any help/links?

bumping so it doesnt get lost. please does anyone have any of the installable launcher alternatives? and the widgets that go with them.

It can't be done. You answered your question by saying the word magically. If it was possible I'd be using my vibrants widgets on launcher pro.

you can use the vibrants launcher on the hd2 but not the widgets.

put it on your sd card and use a file manager (like astro) and install it.

Has anyone installed nexus one packages on their tablet?

Has anyone installed the nexus one browser, contacts, calendar, and launcher on their tablet? Basically, I hate all of the Samsung Apps and want a plain froyo rom. I'm willing to install packages from my nexus one until I find the time to build one...

You should be able. I installed the calculator apk from my nexus one into my tab, cause the euro Rom didn't come with one installed, and it works without an issue.

I've been wondering the exact same thing (minus the launcher - I'm using adw since that's what comes in CM for my N1). Since it's barely been a week since purchase, I'm still a little afraid to start pulling apks over to try it out.

I tried, but I get a "replacing system package" warning, then the install fails. I tried this with my tab rooted and unroored

I think the nexus stock browser is a lot faster and more stable then the stock browser on the tab. I tried pushing over the browser.API from the nexus. But unfortunately everytime I start the browser it immediately closes. I just wanna try it out and see ignite any better.
Bump..

I am using ADW Launcher instead of Samsung Launcher and DialerOne for the dialer but I am missing the simple calculator that was on my CM 6 Nexus One.
Samsung apps are just ugly.

Not 100% sure, but some apps are dependent on the framework of the rom. You can't simply start swapping things out. Contacts and dialer are one of those things. A lot of applications rely on other things that's why they won't work. Once someone cooks up an AOSP rom for us then we can start tinkering in the world of Vanilla...
I'll gladly support someone porting over Cyanogen mod.

Youlu address book, miren browser, launcher pro, half way there already!

I have installed Calculator.apk from CyanogenMod 6.0, it works fine.
I tried to install Music.apk from CM 6.0 but it is blocked by crappy Samsung's MusicPlayer.apk. So I used TitaniumBackup to remove MusicPlayer. Then after reboot it still did not like it, because it seems Music.apk contains native code. So I tried Music.apk from beta CM 6.1 for Galaxy S and it installed just fine. Unfortunately it doesn't show music controls on the lockscreen so it must be a function of the lockscreen. So it is not better than Music Mod.
I would recommend everyone looking for vanilla music app to use Music Mod from the market.

[Q] Dark Unicorn and apex launcher

I have Dark Unicorn V2 installed on my Glacier for a while now..its been working good..no complaints. But today Apex launcher updated itself and now it keeps force closing and now i really cant do anything with my phone. I have to many things on here that i dont want to lose. So i really cant re-install it over. is there anyway to downgrade Apex launcher and not have this problem again?

Go to Play Store on your computer and download the new version on Apex the developer screwed up this morning and updated a bad update and its fixed now so go to the play Store on tour computer and download a new launcher or the update it will be pushed to your phone automatically as long as your signed in with your gmail account and either restart your phone or it will show up automatically and you will be good to go.

[REQ]Google nowless 4.4 launcher

I really enjoy Google now. I use it all the time. I've been using it since it came out. I also like the left side of my home screen more then the right. I don't need three different ways to get to Google now from the home screen and I definetly dont want to turn off google now. I also don't want to use nova or apex launcher because I've used them for years. Does anybody know where I can find the KitKat launcher without Google now embedded?

Flash CyanogenMod 11. In cyanogenmod, use "Launcher 3" as your default

I'd like to stay somewhat stock for as long as possible. If I start flashing now who knows what I could end up running. If I pull launcher three and run it on stock will it work? Would I need to be deodexed?

There's two or three kitkat launcher clones around, check the xda apps section or google play. Can't recommend one as I'm happy enough with stock, but they seem to be near exact copies.

I'm not sure if this works on the nexus 5 since I only got one three days ago, but on my gnex I flashed a KitKat ROM and then flashed bank's core gapps, not the "standard" ones and the launcher wasn't the Google now one. I did it on accident, but it may work for you. Just flash a stock ROM and banks core gapps and it may work.

I use this and love it you can turn off the Google now feature

what is best launcher for Gionee e7

Hi bros,
what is best launcher for Gionee e7?
I used stock launcher and I'm testing google now launcher, but I think it's not best

For me, Nova Launcher, it is fast

I've been using Nova for a long time, it was an obvious chioice for E7, too.
Thing is, I've no idea how deeply is this NAVIlauncher integrated with Amigo, so for the moment I froze the NAVI Launcher, but I'm afraid to do same thing for NaviKeyguard.
Question is - can I completely uninstall the original NAVI Launcher, and is NaviKeyguard a part of it and should I uninstall this, too?

I have froze navi launcher too, I like to freeze instead uninstall, in case that something go wrong with nova still there is another launcher i can use.

OK, you would be right here, but a frozen launcher will not take over in this situation. With Nova broken, you're unable to unfreeze the stock one, so freezeing and uninstalling is the same thing here.
I guess it doen's hurt me to leave it, plenty of space on the storage - I think I iwll unfreeze it then.
What about that NaviKeyguard thing - is this a part of previous launcher, can I freeze it, too? What is it?

I froze navi because in some situations it reload itself and change The launcher, that is my reason.
About navikeyguard, i froze it too in The beginning, but i realised that The lock screen had problems, so i unfroze it again. Now its Ok, navi frozen, keyguard unfrozen.
Hope it help you.

Thanks man - that's important info. I experienced that on my old W910 phone - very annoying thing.

The best Mi+Launcher_1.1.5. Support for gestures, very light, no lib file in apk.
