I can't get mxhome to work properly. it just hangs and hangs.. any idea!! I m on RC2
I am using..
Holo Launcher. It imitates ICS Launcher and pretty fast. Happy Fingers!
But really! Everyone knows it. Fastest Launcher = Launcher Pro.
And then besides offbeat launchers like zimbo etc, ADWL is also pretty fast and simultaneously looks good(read customizable).
And Slowest But Most customizable Launcher I've used is Definitely 'Go-Ex'

Polite bump
I am looking for real themes guys, those that we flash in recovery.
Isnt anyone following the nexus forums over there, they have lot of themes.. really great ones ..
Anyways i will now flash one of those and be a pioneer, if that works out then perfect! Everyone else should also know that by then, so ppl can skin their lovley Desires
Go for it! As soon as you try one and let us know if it works, I'll try another. Between us we can get our desires wrecked, or everyone else's skinned and themed!

I'm using Launcher Pro Beta, which is also good, although, I have heard that ADW Launcher provides better battery life span in comparison.
I used adw, but I went back to launcher pro because I love how it allows you to have 5 rows on your home screen aswell as the 4 on the dock.
used both
adw and launcherpro
switched fully to adw now - just seems to run better and great that they have now enabled pinch to zoom too.
either one u go with they are both great
Does anybody know how to uninstall a theme.zip ?
A bit of a tut here to let us know how you guys are getting these themes to work would be cool?
Thanks to all the DEVS on here i appreciate your time and talent, and i would donate to every one of you guys but im not the richest person in the world. I do have a request if it's possible, here goes. I do have a brand new mt4g 3 days old now because of the screen and constant apps crash from my other. Since i downloaded a couple apps from the market and made it much more USER GUI custom rather than roms, because i have found to fail in this department with finding anything that i like (i'm picky, sorry devs, you do make great roms though ).
Attached is my home screen and i was wondering if anyone could make a simple mod (rom) to make the icon boxes transparent? Just show the icons? and remove the clock? I only ask this because I have the clock with beautiful widgets and did download another app for the power widgets. Or is there a simple setting i could mod in terminal? I appreciate it a bunch for anyone that could do this for me thanks a ton and....... (LONG LIVE XDA DEVS AND SUPPORTERS!!!)
I don't know about the clock, but ADW Ex will take care of the icon thing for you.
is that on market or can i get it here?
nvm i found it thanks again!
Launcher Pro as well...
I've been using it since I first got my nexus one and it's fantastic! The developer just added some nice new home screen transitions as well. Very customizable.

You can also download the Androidian theme from the market (free) it will also remove the boxes but alow you to continue using your sense launcher.

U can also download a mt4g theme called androdian. It keeps the htc sense on, but does exactly wat u want, which is remove the boxes around the icons . I use it (even tho I have adw ex over it) and it looks niceee

So, I bought lol
It's AMAZING. Very smooth, great transitions, and 9 full homescreens! You can even put more than 9 on if you want to, lol
I'm on Warm 2.2 now, but this is so good that, as a Sense fan (Sense was the reason I bought this phone), this is seriously pushing me to a Gingerbread ROM like CM7. Give it a try!
PS- I am in no way connected to the developer(s) of this software. I just love it
i installed it on my OG droid but it is just a black screen....no luck
Ouch, 15 bones.....looks neat, but not for that much $$. Going to stick with LPro until this puppy comes down in price.

I did see in the comments on the link that someone posted a link to the apk... not gonna advertise for warez but if you want to try it out i you *could* try it from that and if you like it buy it... I bought right after I saw the video, so I can't even confirm that it works
Something that concerned me when watching the video is that this launcher looks like a lot of flash and bling, but maybe lacking on some other areas of basic functionality. From reading the comments (in the original link) of people who have used it, there seems to be confirmation of my fears.
People are complaining about lacking certain basic features like widget resizing... or this:
Not to mention the fact that you can't arrange icons and widgets the way you want to. If you want anything on the bottom row, the top 3 rows have to be full
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm not sure I fully understand that statement, but in general it sounds like this launcher is optimized to show off its own animations/widgets.
I don't want to pay $15 for this, nor do I want to download warez. So for now, that means I can only judge based on videos and comments. From my impressions though, it looks like switching over would cripple a number of functions that I find very useful in other launchers. In return, I would get some admittedly cool animations, and some visually interesting UI changes, but I don't see any functional enhancements that really interest me.
At the end of the day, I'm very much a "form follows function" kind of guy, so I suspect this just isn't the launcher for me. I'm sure it will be great for many other people though.
I their version for winmo, it was nice, but not for me. Im like the last guy, i like fuction looks. The whole thing with different launchers is to configure what you like. Maybe im just s simple guy, but this launcher looks like something kids will enjoy, i prefer the smart, in smartphone.

Doesn't work on GingerBread?
played with that earlier mentioned version (cough *warez* touchy subject) a little bit (only lets you run it if you turn mobile data off so it is pointless) and it was cool.
a lot of 'wow' factors that look good but it isn't very functional. launcherpro+ blows it out of the water as far as quick and easy getting to apps & widgets.
I got the spb shell 3d today and omg i am amazed at how smooth it runs and how it barely waists battery. i hated that i couldn't put apps wherever i wanted but then i downloaded desktop visualizer and customized it however i wanted.
btw i have an evo 4g and i am running cm7 nightly #41 gingerbread with savaged-zen 1.0.1 bfs nosbc kernel. (AMAZING!!!!!) ^_^

What is MIUI?

It's an Android user interface, much like HTC Sense is to Android or Samsung Touch Wiz is to Android and so forth.
Got it.
Thanks.
One more question;
Is it the next step in Sense evolution or just an alternative to Sense?

So Sense is a casual outfit while MIUI is a tux.
A new outfit for androids closet.
Has anyone tried it out yet?
MIUI is a look like IPhone interface but with android body.

A better question is why you posting this in here????
Please read forum titles before choosing which one to post in.
Lets keep this post. But wud be good if a mod can move to the Q&A fori.
MIUI is an iPhone look alike. The interface is fast and smooth. But i reflashed into another. Not cos i dont like the ROM or the Chef. But IMHO i ****ing dont like the iPhone interface. When you look at iPhone what you see is tons of icons which you cant move here and there to create a cool homescreen.
Just in case, if i have hurt any iFans. Lemme say the iPhone 4 is a real killer. But when it comes to my HD2, its the huntee. Equipped with Android....iPhone 4 shud be afraid...very very afraid.
You have to follow the rule, this is not the place to ask this question.
Google it before you post, you can easily find the MIUI website and you will get all you need to know about MIUI from there...

MIUI is more like a homebrew UI rather than a corporate product. It isn't really an alternative to Sense in that it's not a launcher you can install on a Sense-based ROM or any other ROM like you can with alternative launchers. MIUI generally comes cooked into Android ROMs. And it is almost identical to iOS. It would be more accurate to consider MIUI an iOS with widgets.
Fair enough question which was answered efficiently, could a Mod please move this thread to Q&A, it's useful for others with the same question.
MIUI
hey guys, i still didn't find a answer to my question: does have any advantage on speed or something like that by use MIUI rom replacing the original android?
Thanks every one
Same **** different package
I know the general consensus is touchwiz is vomit, and i tried my best to like it but couldnt.
I wish they would make it themes like sense had you could install.
Anyway, as I am only familiar with sense (years ago) and touchwiz, what other skins are out there that you actually like.
I have been following the overseas market lately and I wish we could try some of their skins.
China has been a market focused on value, but I will tell you there are some awesome phones out there we will never see or even hear of that would give these well known flagship phones a run for their money.
Anyway, name your skin of choice
Skin? Or launcher?
I use Nova, have for a long time and I love it.
I use Nova as well...
Have you tried Themer?

+1 on Themer. They have some really nice themes. Keep in mind Themer is a launcher replacement, so if you like Nova or Apex etc when you install Themer it also becomes your new launcher. Nova, Apex and the other well known launchers all have themes that you can install with the launcher. Lots of options.
