I've been using GO Launcher as my primary launcher for my NC. Sometimes, I switch to ADW Launcher EX to use Launcher Actions. You know in ADW you have this option to add a customizable button/icon in your homescreen to execute basic launcher actions such as the ff: Open App Drawer (must-have), Show/Hide Notification Bar, Show/Hide Dock Bar, Show/Hide Status Bar, Switch to Homescreen 1, 2, 3...etc. (my favorite!). These feature is not available in GO Launcher yet, and I've contacted the Go Dev Team about adding it in their future releases (hopefully). In the meantime, do you guys know of any workaround? I want to be able to have it in GO Launcher.

What so special about the GO Launcher that you have to use?
Why not using ADW Launcher, which has features that you like?
What has ADW Launcher missed?

I guess it's because GO Launcher is very user-friendly, and it has a nice interface.

I have been looking for a threads that may cover transparent icons in the app drawer as well as centering or stretch widgets. Is there a rooted hack for it. I have tried LauncherPro which does all of the above but slows down my tablet and for me is a bit buggy.
Try ADW launcher, it does that and it runs great on my Tab. I also use it on my SGS.

Thank you. ADW Launcher works great with all my widgets they are all centered now. All I have left is trying to find is a black Google widget.
Or Zeam Launcher, that is your other alternative. And this way, we listed all launchers with scrollable widget support .
I go for Go Launcher EX
lacher ex has rly nice transition effects

Go Launcher Ex!
Launcher Pro is a bit faster from what i experienced but still Go Launcher offers the most, and most of all, for free. Go Dev Team got lots of awesome apps for Android.
I use:
Go Launcher Ex - HoneyComb theme + notification plugin
Go SMS Pro - with Emojicon plugin

I have the same setup (minus the honeycomb theme), I used the wizmod theme
I prefer go launcher ex to launcher pro mainly because these two very similar in features and it's free.
Go launcher also has its own widgets, similar to launcher pro
can someone say what "launchers" really are?? I dont know anyting about them..
pretty much the user interface of your home screens and app drawer. look at images on for launcher pro and go launcher on the market, you'll see the differences.
As for my choice, definitely going with go launcher. I think the ONLY thing I miss about launcher pro was having the sense widgets, and being able to edit the dock bar which I''m surprised hasn't been done in go launcher yet
Go Launcher Ex uses more Ram, but it has an integrated taskmanager and some other nice features. I prefere it.
I flashed my Nexus S with the latest CM7 rom, I used this to replace the ADW launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957777&page=2 , it replaced the ADW launcher but now when i switch to Mattedblues theme it doesnt change the dock, the dock remains the same while the icons and status bar change. Does any one have a solution on how to change the dock to the Mattedblues dock?
Dudes anyone? I need help! My phone looks really weird when the notification icons and all other icons are blue but the dock icons are still green! Someone give me a solution
Why don't you install a launcher such as zeam, Adw or launcherpro. You'll thus be able to change the icons.....

Will the themes work with go launcher ex?
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.
I am looking for a launcher that just displays a list of all the applications installed on the NC. I have tried all the usual suspects (LauncherPro, ADW, Zeam, Go Launcher etc) but they all go the desktop first and then you need to open the app drawer to access the shortcuts. I could add shortcuts to the desktop but it does not seem to be a good use of time when the shortcuts to all apps are already there.
It would be nice if the launcher had a dock of favorite apps but not necessary. It would be even nicer if press the Home (N) button in the launcher displayed a list of running programs.
In summary, the launcher should work like the Home screen on iOS.
Any suggestions? Be nice now ;-)
Thanks
Have you tried the MIUI roms yet? They are basically designed to look like the iPhone design. If your just wanting a different home replacement then I always liked the Zeam Launcher because you could add like 4-5 shortcuts to the dock bar...hopefully this helps..

Thanks for the suggestion
I don't really want to try a non-standard ROM at the moment. I did try some of the MIUI themes for ADW and other launchers but all the themes really do is change the icons. That is, the functionality of the launcher does not change. The default screen for the launcher is the desktop and you have to add shortcuts to the desktop.
I might try loading a MIUI ROM on a bootable SD card and see how that works.
Thanks again

I haven't tried it...possibly get a key remapper. I think one of the launchers has one for the home key...see if this will work...
Does anyone know how I can hide unused apps in the app drawer on marshmallow like I can in lollipop?
Nova Launcher
Could change your home launcher to Nova Launcher from the Google Play Store.IT gives you the option to hide in the nova settings. Home launcher has way more customization than stock launcher. I prefer the pro version which gives me the option to use the gestures for certain apps. Click thanks if this helps!!
