New Launcher

Can someone make one of the stock gingerbread launchers on the market able to customize amount of home screens on one's device.
Every one i try has 5 by default and there is no way for me to reduce this to 3!
Also the stock gingerbread launchers work ALOT smoother for me than ADW free or ADW EX launchers. Also stock just looks better! Keep it simple
Anyway im Oxygen RC3 if that makes a difference..
Hope someone can make this happen!

there is one on the market, stock with some options included....try gingerbread launcher..I'm using zeam now

[Poll] What should be default launcher in FroyoBread?

Which one do you prefer? I will put it as default in FroyoBread
Note: No paid apps.

For me laucher pro should stay it has best speed

LPP is my favorite, anyway Zeam Launcher isn't too bad ^^

Why not include stock launcher/Arc launcher? Those are pretty good ones, and people are used to them. Also by using the stock one maybe more people will go ahead and try your rom. But out of that list Launcher Pro is the best.

Launcher Pro for me, It is the Fastest Launcher i have ever tried and i paid for its Unlock Code

Suggestion: Zeam launcher! :d

LPP.. its fast!

I'm for stock launcher or Arc launcher too!!

vote for Go Launcher
its free but fast and powerfull launcher

Vote for ADW - stock CM launcher.

We should stay with Launcher Pro

voted for LP.

Go launcher sweet.

Go launcher is the one with less lag at startup phone

adw launcher has a lot of themes and is super fast.the best for me

Well, I'm always deleting stock launcher anyway as I have GO launcher EX installed. Just by the way, EX version is free in the market now, I don't know if they even still provide the non-EX version. I believe they decided to earn money on themes
E: I voted for GO launcher of course, but I think that it could be a good idea to get a stock android one, so that people who use launcher pro plus have no problems with installing it

Launcher Pro the best , smooth and stable even you use paid or not paid application..

Vote for Launcher2 because it's stock..
If someone wants the other launcher, then let install best launcher for themselves

I guess stock launcher would be good so that people who have lpp can install it easily without being face palmed by the "system application can't be removed" message

@ Doxianh: i use LPP so everytime i install another launcher then delete apk for launcherpro in system/app then install launcherProPlus.
already voted for launcherPro

Help understanding themes and launchers

Hello,
im new to android from iPhone and with all this customization im lost in the goodness of changing everything to my liking... but what is the difference from icons, and wallpapers, themes and launchers....
will one give me the option to change all of them or is each one different.... ive been searching on the play store but am so confused...
thanks.

Launchers: available on and installable from the play store. The stock Samsung launcher is touchwiz. This is the main interface for the phone. Changing to another launcher will change the way this looks, and works.
Themes: These are modifications of the general look and feel of the phones firmware. These are done by themers here who take the stock (or custom) framework files and modify them. These are currently unavailable until the S4 has the ability to install custom firmware. The locked bootloader has to be unlocked first.
Wallpapers: The background of your screen. You can change these within the launcher, including stock touchwiz. You can add custom wallpapers and use them also, by choosing from the gallery.
Icons: Generally built into the applications and not modifyable.

Thanks. Would you recommend nova launcher?

I've never used it. Many like it.
I use Apex on my SII running 4.1.2

I've been using Nova Launcher for a while now and it's pretty nice. Lots of things to customize, like the look and feel of the app drawer and how app screens flip or roll from one to the next. Nice thing about downloading a launcher from the playstore is it installs along side the original or in this case Touch Wiz launcher. So if you decide you don't like it, simply switch back or try a different one.

I recommend searching - Google will get you comparisons of all the available launchers and give you full information on installing, changing settings, different features, and how to clear defaults and change launchers if the app itself doesn't offer the option. Include XDA as a search term and you'll get lots of theads around here...
One of the bonuses with Android vs. iPhone is since it's all hackable, there are TONS of threads, reviews, and blog posts on how to do anything. The browser on the phone works great (especially with this nice big screen).
You've probably started another thread that will turn into more of the same - until we get custom ROMs, you won't get any info that isn't on another thread already

I have both Apex and Nova Launcher. I like them both. They do a great job. Until custom ROM's are available you can check out this guys site:
http://czarnomorski.pl/ (Some great simple wallpapers on his site or in app format here
He made some great themes that work with both Nova and Apex as well as Go Launcher EX or ADW Launcher. Check Play store here:
If you are using TFS Shell then you need this one:
If you install the theme you can then go into the settings of the launcher and apply it. You can apply the whole theme or just parts of it like the Icons or Wallpaper.
Enjoy.

Apex and Nova are great for ics while go launcher and adw look good for gingerbread and froyo. for 3d effects next and spb shell 3d is good. TSf is pretty expensive.THere are even small sized launchers like zeam or ftl for speed.

i just need the phone so i can go into the play store and mess around... need to get the apple/ app store brainwashing out of my system....

I hope you find a solution as soon as possible

Which ui or rom
I'm running Sense 5
Android 4.2.2
But i have taken look ad some other launchers and roms
Huawei emotion UI
Lenovo Ideadesktop
Xperia Launcher
Touchwiz ui
Motorola Start screen
Stock GE launcher
Every time coming to the same conclusion missing the direct information from Blink feed.
The best other launcher was in my opinion Xperia launcher (xperia z).

Never follow the crowd. Never.
Choose what you want. Not what other use or think

Sorry, ROM comparison threads are not allowed.
If you'd like to know which ROM is the best ROM I would recommend trying a few and seeing which one you like best.
Thread closed.
Thank you,

which is the best android launcher available and what are you using??

so there are a lot of third party launchers out there, what do you vote for as the best and why??
i currently use nova launcher but i want to try another launcher for my s5

Opt for launcher x

Latest Nova Launcher beta with Pixel style icon pack.
I like stock Pixel look better than Nexus look.

launcher
I am currently using CM 3d launcher. I have grown accustomed to using. I like when someone picks up my phone to try and find stuff it's hard cause they don't know where to look.

I'm using evie it is similar to ASAP launcher, I like the intuitive design compared with other launchers out there
