Hello to XDA
I've been using I9000 for 2 weeks and this is my first smartphone. I really love it. I read many topics in XDA and I found many many many ways to improve my I9000 performance, so I just want to say that I'm so thankful for XDA people.
Okay, here is my question.
Now I'm using ADW.Launcher and I also tried LauncherPro. They replaced both homescreen and app drawer. But I love how we can manage our app drawer in TouchWiz by Samsung. So I can manage where to put my app, I keep each type of app in the same page instead of sorting them by their name. And I found out that I can't do that in most Homescreen Replacement Apps.
Is there anyway that I could use I9000 default app drawer or is there any good homescreen app that allow me to do that?
I'm not so sure if it's my fault not to see that kind of option.
ps. Sorry for my weird english, I'm trying to improve.

For me, ADW Launcher ex is the best, because thre's a lot of themes and i feel it good !
Yeah ADW is nice, and the ROM your using is same as me so great choice ;P

The only time I used it was the version you made, due to that bottom bar being way too oversized and hideous imo..
I didn't like the lack of any customization though so it didn't last long.
love ADW Laucher :x
GO Launcher EX with Suave theme. Simply beautiful. The wallpaper scroll/no-scroll option renders Wallpaper Wizardrii obsolete.
Hey Guys!
So I've been messing around with trying some of the new ICS ROMs for my HD2, but keep coming back to Typhoon CyanogenMod. I'm down for taking another crack at an ICS ROM, but one of the most infuriating things is the horizontal app panels. I vastly prefer the kinetic scrolling app drawer of the earlier builds; I don't need to see every set of apps when they're listed alphabetically and I know the one I want starts with a 'W'.
Is there a known mod, tweak, patch, update, or customization widget I can use to get a vertically scrolling app drawer back in ICS?
Thanks =)

Would one of these gingerbread launchers work on ics like adw or similar launchers I thought I read of ppl using them I haven't tried I kinda like the vertical scroll hope this helps

Hello guys!
I don't have 10 posts yet and because I don't want to spam I just ask this question here in the general section.
I'm on Paranoid Android 3 and the Rom is known for alot customization options but where can I find the launcher settings? I couldn't find any way to edit the row number or space between icons etc.
With expanded Desktop everything looks kinda mixed up (in my opinion) and not that well designed.
I would appreciate it if you could answer my questions or show me how I can solve the problem myself.
I will upload a screenshot of my homescreen too and I hope you can image what I'm trying to say
Cheers

Hi I am making my first app, a launcher, I have to questions
1. I have it setup to return to home screen from app drawer but it also refreshes the whole main activity the code I have in place for this is:
Code:
[user=439709]@override[/user] public void onBackPressed() { super.onBackPressed(); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); [code]
Is there a better way to do this(without refreshing the main activity) if so can someone point me in the right direction
2. What is the best way to implement page viewer for more home screens or is there a better way to do this as well?
I appreciate all and any response and help and thank anyone willing to lend a hand

I think a launcher is definitely not an app a beginner should code.
But to your question: I guess you should leave super.onBackPressed() out.

Well, I think it depends on which kind of launcher he creates. If it is no fancy 3D launcher, I think of it as a better project for a beginner than a project that involves Server interaction. There are special, easy launchers which are designed for children as well.
Its no 3d or nothing really fancy the idea I have is a very simplistic and minimal launcher with just basic launcher features, the ui will be very similar to other launchers but yet different, so no other suggestions on how to implement closing app drawer when back button is pressed?

Or is there any resources that would be recommended?

I would create two Fragments, one for the homescreens and one for the app drawer. Set it up that way that you can use popBackStack() to return to the homescreens from the app drawer.
Very detailed resource on Fragments: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html
