i've been using 360 launcher for a while now and it's pretty decent!

was always using go launcher before i got my Note, but it laggs too much and the "16bit" colors are too annoying on an HD 5.3 inch screen! and the go devs do not take in consideration the users feedback! so until they fix the huge problems go launcher has, i'm sticking with 360 launcher, it has folders (with a nice transparent icon), transitions like golauncher, 360 widgets...etc... the only thing i miss is the resizable widgets but it's less power consuming and always at high res! ican live with it till they update the engine on the go launcher instead of updating useless stuff! Plus my comments never appear on their site (weird)!

PS: waiting for TSF

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] OrangGeeGee:
ADW Launcher EX was lagging for me, but then I went to Adw Settings > General Behavior > System Preferences > Scrolling cache and change the value to Low Quality from Auto. Works like a charm from then.

Now I can set the desktop transition and bounce values to anything I want and it won't start stuttering :)

That's on Abyss Kernel 3.1, Stock KK5 Rom

Using experience launcher... smooth but only support 4*4 icons
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] rerp:
Hello. I need some info on the launchers you guys use.

I'm currently using Go Launcher EX with my own theme I made in ThemesFactory, the transitions are all on default mainly because (1) I like how it's simple but still looks nice and (2) I'm afraid using too much eye candy will kill my battery.

So that's my concern: does a highly-animated 3Dish launcher theme with those 3D transitions and widgets eat up your battery life? I only know that live and/or animated wallpaper can drain battery and I'm not even sure.

Also, is the battery consumption varying across different launchers?

I'm trying to get the best balance of speed/performance, battery life, and looks on my launcher.

Thanks for the help. :3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Leechoonhwee:
360 launcher for me. Fast and light. Lags usually not an issue for me cause i kept my Homescreen to only 2 most of the time. I tried almost all launchers on the market and i think this is the one for me. Only thing is the widgets are not able to resize, other than that thumb up for this launcher.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] gaddy888:
In ADW settings there are options to set the number of rows and columns in portrait and landscape mode. Try and "square" this. That is have 6x6 or 5x5 as opposed to 6x5. That seemed to fix the problem largely.

Now using ADW EX + DPI at 240. Runs super smooth. Rooted, stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jeromepearce:
Having tried several launchers, most of them seem to lag a bit most of the time once I fill the screens up with widgets. I think this could be because I like to use as much space as I can, but even when I try 'poor' settings, it is a bit worse than the default. I really only noticed it because after going back to test, it seemed so smooth!

The real issue for me is launching, and to have a couple of screens for widgets I want all the time when I wake the device, like email, SMS and missed calls. To launch I then went for Wave Launcher. A tad risky as you cannot try it out.

I like it, but there is a limited number of slots. I find its own folder mechanisms extremely awkward to use, too. I recalled I had bought Folder Organizer for my Arc, so tried that again with shortcuts to its folders on the Wave.

Superb result! I can pretty much leave the home screens alone except for three or four with widgets. When I can find a way to get those widgets into a decent folder in Wave (I may have to use one of its default folders and suffer), I'll be in Android Heaven.

BTW, I love the Go Launcher themes for the phone, contacts and SMS, so I use them instead of the default apps. Much nicer!

Nova Launcher v1.02beta 1

Best and smoothest launcher on the market
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] holgalee:
I can put up with TW launcher, just wished I can use my own dock icons.

Zeam is great, very fast and smooth and doesn't seem to affect my battery life at all, which is more than I can say for some other launchers I've tried. Wished it had folders, but most days I can get by without.

I want to like launcher pro plus, but when I put it my phone in landscape format, all the apps in the drawer overlap. :confused:

ADW seems to have issues remembering my customised app icons and will revert them to the default ones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] pp18:
Been using ADW EX some time and no issue at all. I have no complaint on it and no plan to switch to another launcher in the near future... so I was willing to spend time on creating my own theme. :)

Just some sharing... when you apply a new icon pack, it applies to all and reset those not covered by the icon pack to the app default one. After all, this shouldn't affect your folders and shortcuts on home screens that you've manually chosen an alternative icon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Moe5508:

ADW is what I use on my p6800 (7.7 Galaxy Tab)

On my GalaxyNexus I use the mike1986's Android Revolution ROM and the "stock" launcher which is sexy.

I used the GO launcher on various phones/tabs in the past and always come back to ADW which is just lovely and problem-free on my end.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] veasna.kelly:
I found that ADW Launcher, Zeam Launcher, Go Launcher are not too smooth especially on the screen scrolling not smooth if compare to stock TW launcher. I'm running stock GB now. Anybody could comment what is the best launcher for stock gb rom?

TSF Shell

it has some features I don't like for example switching screens but i love how easy it is to customize and i've got most everything i need on my main homescreen. I haven't finished setting it up yet and still I'm very happy.

Before that I used Go Launcher and before that ADW EX.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] veasna.kelly:
But TSF is not free to test. It is a paid app. Unless they want some users to test, so that we have chance to see or hopefully to buy it if it is really good one.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pharpe:
I just installed CM7 on my Nook and I'm trying to get my home screen setup. For some reason there seems to be a lot of wasted space between rows. Is there anyway to adjust this? My widgets are also getting stretched way across the screen.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] votinh:
You are using Gingerbread, not ICS, so no, widget is not resizable.

You can move it, you can stretch it and it snaps automatically in a certain region.

I know it's ugly, I feel you. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kcls:
I use ADW.Launcher EX on my nook and it works wonderfully. You can.change the amount of columns and rows that the desktop has and then drag Widgets to resize them. You can also set it to use HDPI.Icons on the MDPI Nook and it makes them look big and clear. I would recommend spending the money on it, its worth it.

Also I did unlock the bootloader via HTCDev but thats it

Thanks for any help!
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Now that you have unlocked using HTCDev, you need to flash the ClockworkMod image in FASTBOOT mode. Search the General forum for instructions. After you get CWM installed, you can then flash su-3.0.zip root and install superuser on your current Sense 3.0 ROM.

Since there is no Brilliant Corners 1.2 thread anymore I will have to post here.

Market started acting funny to night. A app would start to download and the blue download arrow would show it was

downloading but nothing was coming through. I did a search and saw some suggestions on about starting Google Talk

and that would fix it but, I do not have Google Talk. Early on in my experiment with the tablet I thought I would never

call anyone with the G- Tab so I deleted it, and don' t know if that it was okay to do that but it is done. Anyway, I read

about doing the original. Market fix. I did this but, now all I get is "server error Retry", I also waited for WiFi to connect.

I have rebooted 3 times with the same results. Any suggestions?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lartomar2002:
Installed the latest version of Market (3.3.11) and got the same results. Did the "Market Fix " twice and still get the same results. Could it possibly be because I am on a 3G ad - hoc network? I do not have "download by WiFi only" enabled in the options. Market does notify me of the apps that need updating.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lartomar2002:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Nope. It's impossible. Just forget about it and look for a third party app on the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
It's impossible because Samsung Apps are dependent on Samsung's framework. CM7 is built off of Nexus source codes, which means the apps inherently will not work.

Hi,

I've made a script to flash automatically a stock rom and CWM using Linux. The script use Heimdall and before it start to flashing do the following checks:

- if Heimdall is installed

- if Heimdall detect the device

- if all necessary files exists

This script was tested flashing XXKPE, XXKPM and CWM for XXKPM (Skin1980 Version) on my I9003.

More information in README file.

If anyone want to say any suggestion I'll appreciate it.

[Droid 2 Global General] ericalanMICHAEL:
I can't boot into recovery mode. Typically on my G2x, I hold the power and volume down button. I've been into recovery mode on this phone to flash CM7 and it worked fine. However, it randomly entered recovery mode when I booted it, allowing me to flash the rom. I'm trying to flash gapps now and power+volume down, power+volume up+down, and power+x, then search aren't working. Can you let me know how you boot into recovery mode?
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
See f.ex. http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/Android_Recovery — there are different approaches for 2.4.x and 4.5.x.

You also won't get to CWM this way, only stock recovery which only allows factory reset, cache wipe, and official update installation over clean stock firmware.
[Droid 2 Global General] ericalanMICHAEL:
So how do I install the gapps zip if I can't boot into CWM? After flashing CM7, there are no stock apps (no marketplace).
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Boot into CM7. Press the Lock/Power button. Choose “Reboot”, and then “Recovery”.

2. Change µSD-Card

3. play back the backup

?!? ^^

or are there any other chances to keep my personal stuff ;)

Impossible.. sorry.

After you replaced your sd, you need to have to hard reset your phone. and all the data will be erased from your SD and phone
[Trophy General] 0hrpheus:
so the backup does not includes messages etc.?
[Trophy General] nickislauw:
yeah it will backup the messages.. but it saves the backup to your SD, and you can only use your SD in you'r phone and it's not usable in you'r pc
[Trophy General] dr.know:
There are programs that create a complete backup of your phone. google is your friend
[Trophy General] Boburto:
They only work if you replace the uSD with the same size. I upgraded to a 32GB card and my 8GB backup just wouldn't copy.

As much as i think people should 'google' before they ask, it might help if you 'googled' before you answered...
