Missing the razar sharp icons on your xperia app drawer? Install this and way to go! They have also modified the stock widgets and able to use on yhe launcher too. The home screen becomes not so gray too. Only drawback is the app drawer is not so smooth.

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 was wondering if it was possible to extend the # of screens to display more icons.
Other option would be to create folders but is doesn't seems to be possible with Honeycomb, am i wrong?

Good stuff here. I remember seeing versions of Android with 7 screens...
you can install an 3rd party home screen app such as Launcher Pro. It allows you to fully customise your homescreens and add a lot of eye candy. Haven't tried it out on Honeycomb but I've used it on my Xperia X10.
I was more thinking about a native solution but i will try Launcher Pro.
Thanks
Circle Laucher
I use Circle Launcher Light. Its a widget that adds a circle icon on the home screen. You can configure it to display any number of app icons when pressed. You just select which app you want to launch. You can also display a name on the screen circles. I have one set up for each type of family of apps I use. Dor example "Games", "Media", "Readers", etc. I like it. Its free in market.
Tried to download ADW.Launcher from the market without success. Seems to be restricted to non honeycomb systems by google.
If someone can provide an alternate link for the free version, it would be more than appretiate.

+1 for circle launcher! A perfect for honeycomb and a 10 inch screen. My setup is similar and allows two click access to every app I use. The widget displays nearly instantly.

I use launcher pro and I love it. Have it for both my Evo and now the Acer.
If you like to have an alternative to APEX Launcher, I recommend this one:
Features summary:

- Customizable desktop and app drawer grid size (from 3 x 3 to 9 x 9)
- Infinite scrolling on the desktop and the app drawer (significantly improved from previous (GB) version)
- Resizable widgets
- Hide apps from the app drawer (now does not hide them from the desktop and the dock)
- Swipe Up / Down gestures on the desktop
- Show / hide icon labels on the desktop, the dock and the app drawer
- Enable / disable app sharing on social networks
- Enable / disable tactile feedback (vibration)
- Icon packs support (load icons from: Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher and GO Launcher themes / icon packs)
- Backup and restore launcher settings
- Support for any resolution and any display density (custom DPI)

Have you tested?
This launcher has a lot of problems (at least with our device).
Don't have settings, application drawer don't show all application (if you sort in alphabetic sort). I don't now what the problem is but the launcher of the OP is far away better!

There's a lot of negative feedback in the thread.
Better than this is the z Launcher by ra3al, the same user that developed the version that I posted here.
Dispite z Launcher been newest, the version 1.3.4 from xperia T has more functionalities at the moment.

Hi - I've been looking to replace my launcher from touchwiz as I need landscape orientation for the home page.
Do any of the alternative launchers support split screen? Doesn't look like Nova, Action Launcher or Google Launcher do, and I cant find Samsung's Good Lock for some reason as I thought that might.
Any ideas? Thanks
Samsung doesn't want launchers to work in split screen. That is a design decision which makes sense when you think about it. The same reason that the launcher does not show in "Recent apps".
Fear not, there might be a solution.
A simple trick would be to get the apk that you want to try in split screen and then edit its AndroidManifest.xml file so that the app doesn't know that it's a launcher. (Not sure if you can do that directly but most probably you'll have to Decompile the app -> edit manifest -> Recompile the app.
If you have spare free time you can google how to do all this. And see if its possible. (Most probably it is.)
I found a great solution! I force landscape mode using an app and Nova in split screen - ie I have music on touchwiz one side, and nova on the other. That way I can run any apps split screen. Inside nova I can run maps which wont run on it's own in split screen.
Touchwiz allows this with launcher apps which are not set as the default home.
In fact it works fantastic. I use it along with a floating app launcher so I can press home and it wont take the whole homescreen home, just the nova launcher.

hello whats actually my problem i try run the same app 2 times with island app but it doesnt let me put in split screen so i have the one app full screen and the main one not cloned floating mode but i am looking for a way to run both in split can work with your way ?
I recently downloaded the GalaxyS8_Dark_clock_noframe.apk and it is WOW! Although I only got to try out the trial version on a Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 with android v6.0 (marshmellow) I noticed that in the gallery app the title for each album is white against a background of white and not black against a background of white or white text against a black background? See attached image.
Is there a freeware theme that is similar with the dark menus,notification window,etc as I don't have that much data so I can't google that much....
Thanks
