Want the stock gingerbread look for your Play? Want a landscape supported launcher? Don't have a Verizon Xperia Play?
Ripped from the R800x system. Download and set as your default launcher. If you have root, you can freeze/delete the SE Home launcher to free up space.
Supports landscape mode when you slide down the control pad, and you can use the gamepad to navigate between home screens, open apps, etc. You'll probably want to turn off the auto launch 'get more games' app though (use menu key, settings, disable auto-start on slide)

Tested and working on unbranded/rooted R800a. Anybody out there with a R800i to test?
Gonna test now

Hmm nice but nothing adw or launcher pro can't do. This could help some though.

Yeah this is probably best suited for those who really want the stock gingerbread experience or a nice lightweight launcher.
Bonus though you get a bunch of cool stock gingerbread wallpapers with it... as I just discovered.
Thanks m8. My goal now is a full vanilla gingerbread rom

thanks axiomjunglist, nice post, pushed it to /system/ and works well, i'm sticking with Launcher pro plus though, but its nice to have
Now the question is how do we make it fully stock? I tried the dialer but seems to not work well. I got the settings(black), calculator, keyboard and messaging app all to work by installing the apk form the Verizon system dump. Besides getting the dailer to work, is there anything more to make it stock?

So far so good, some I pushed to /system/app/ and some I had to install like any other apk. Just about everything works except 2 things. The dialer/phone app the ui was messed up so I had to go back to the SE version and 2nd the settings does work but some options force closes on you. ie. brightness and volume. Besides that everything else works.
I have no idea if this works for people who are not rooted. If anybody can test that would be cool...

1) Can I use this if I'm on an R800a without root?
2) If 1) is true, how do I install it?
3) Can this mess with my phone and can it be reversed?
(sorry for the noob questions)
Works great on a 2.3.2 rooted r800i.
Just installed the apk like normal an froze the se home launcher.
The music widget is gone though when using this launcher.

Hmm... good to know. I had recently switched over to the free Google Music player and that has its own widget so I didn't notice SE's music player widget gone. Unfreezing/restoring SE Home brings it back. It seems like they tied the widget into the launcher unfortunately...

I'm 99% positive it will work for a non-root user. Just download and install. When you hit the home key it will ask what you want to use for as a launcher, just pick the new launcher and check 'use by default' if you don't want that message every time you hit home. If you don't like it just go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Launcher -> Uninstall. It will default back to the old SE Home launcher next time you hit the home key. You can't screw it up because as a non-root user you cannot delete SE Home launcher.

No problem, glad it works for non-root, thanks for testing!

Can someone please re-upload the file. The link on the first page is broken.
Thanks in advance
Agreed ^^^
Link is down! Me wants it! Please!
Attached it!
Okay, so I know this has been asked before, I've been searching XDA and googling and have found some threads on the topic, but most of them are old and unresolved. So I'm reaching out to see if maybe there's a new development that I haven't been able to find.
Is there any known way to HIDE apps from the app drawer of a stock launcher? I know that Launcher Plus Pro and some other home replacements have this feature built in, but I'm using Virtuous Unity and am really happy with Sense 3.0 at the moment.
It seems like such a basic function, I can't believe there's a) no native feature to do this; and more surprisingly b) there's no 3rd party app that will do this?
I've found some apps that 'hide' your drawer apps (i.e. Hide It Pro) but this not only hides the app from the drawer, but makes it so you can only launch the hidden app from within the app that's hiding it (meaning you have to go into Hide It Pro to launch the hidden app).
I'm using wave launcher and swipepad for my most used apps and games, and would ideally like to remove these apps from the app drawer so they're not cluttering it up, but STILL BE ABLE TO LAUNCH THE APPS from the alternate launcher/shortcuts. With Hide It Pro I was able to remove the apps from the app drawer, but was then unable to launch that app from wave launcher for example.
My reasoning for wanting to do this is not confidentiality/privacy, but rather just to clean up my drawer/app system. Ideally I want my most used apps to be accessed via the secondary launchers (wave and swipepad) and just have the other, less-used apps in the app drawer. Is this possible?
at the moment, I dont think its possible...but I may be wrong. the best current solution would be to use a diff launcher, but yeah it sucks because all the sense widgets would disappear when trying to add them to homescreens (but the apps still work fine). keep us updated if you find a solution, I would like to know as well
Unfortunately I did not find a way to do it too. I am using Go Launcher EX. It can hide apps from the drawer, and still you can launch them from the home screen or elsewhere.
Thanks for the replies. Yeah from my research it doesn't really seem possible. It seems like it should be a pretty basic function but oh well. Thanks anyway guys.

This might be of interest to you. [APP][30 JUL]ALTDRAWER 0.7.1 Alternative APP DRAWER [Perfect for MIUI] [Many options] - xda-developers http://bit.ly/qvK3KS
Thanks for that, I came across that during my research. Seems cool and if it replaced the default app drawer I'd be all over it. But I don't want a homescreen icon as my app drawer. But thanks for the suggestion!!

First off, I am a NOOB. So take what I did with a grain of salt, it may not be right. If I could get a senior member to check this out as well. I installed 2 launchers, go launcher hd and adw launcher ex. Then installed wallpaper wizardii, now I can use my pictures to set the background. You have to use "no scroll" in the settings. I am still playing with the functions, and it looks better on go launcher hd than adw launcher ex, but it works.
Rooted kfhd , step by step set up.
Do you have to be rooted to install launchers? I am un rooted and it never shows up in my app list. I can side load just fine, just not launchers. Tried Nova and go had.

if you are rooted, if you move the apps to system/app you can change there permissions. This allows for you to change the launcher to any launcher by default. So that when you press the home button you don't have to be forced back into the amazon launcher. Completely different from side loading the apps. I highly recommend it if you prefer a different launcher like me.

Ok thank you, I did not know that I had to change the permissions and file location. I am going to root my Fire tomorrow and then I will do that.

Word to the wise--DO NOT set your new launcher as default until you are very sure it is working ok. You can get stuck in the boot loader and believe me it is no fun!
Ok I have rooted it and installed apex and it is very nice. Everything is working smoothly. Now i might go make a theme pack to make it look like stock ics. What are the dangers of modifying framework-res.apk?

Luckily, there is a star sympol, which you can get in to Silk browser, after that you can scroll down notify , get in to setting and clear Go laucher default.

Although I can only make out half of what you wrote - I can confirm I too had this problem with Apex ("Apex has stopped working"). Luckily, I was able to get into my email through the favorites star and clear defaults. I dont know why, but the Apex launcher will not work for me.

Had the same problem with nova launcher, had to change to Go launcher
Blurry kindle wallpapers
For anyone whose having a trouble finding a good unblurrywallpaper for you Kindle Fire (if using a launcher):
Search the Google Play store for an app called Wallbase
Once installed, go to Settings --> Resolution --> Select "2560x1600"
Find a wallpaper you like and set it as you wallpaper. WALA! You can also save it so you can ur wallpaper while offline via Wallbase.
I hope people who have problems with blurry Kindle wallpapers get to see this. I was surprised when I found this out! GOOD LUCK!
I have LauncherPro,ADW and Preinstalled Launchers on my S4. Every time I restart my phone if asks me which Launcher I want to use and I pick one and Click "always" but I still have to choose again with each restart. Any ideas?
Thanks
Go into settings application tab and set the main launcher you want to default. (i clear the cache in the launcher app also)
I think it is a bug though, I notice it happens over and over with certain launchers. You have to play with it for a few, it will go away.
Good luck.

If you have root, freeze all but the launcher you want to use with Titanium Backup. If you want to change back to that launcher, thaw it out.

Thanks I had not thought about that.
Not sure when this started but I have found I can no longer uninstall apps by dragging the app to the "Uninstall" on the desktop.
I first noticed this a few months ago.
I am 100% stock on P with latest security and have never messed with the phone.
I use Google Now launcher.
This is no big deal as I just go to settings and apps, find the app and uninstall, i'm just curious if i'm the only one and if anyone knows a solution.
i think this feature works with launcher if u using another launcher maybe it not works try it with stock launcher Quickstep

Thanks, I guess you are probably right in thinking it's a launcher issue as it work fine in settings.
Not worth changing the launcher for such a small issue.
Thanks.
