Just a cool feature that I've finally used (in Apex Launcher, but also found on other launchers like LauncherPro) is the use of Activity shortcuts.

Say you create a shortcut on a homescreen, you click Activities, and then you get a list of all apps. You can then open up each app and select an activity within these apps.

I just created one that gives me battery stats by using an activity that was in the Settings app.

Nova. Because it works on ICS and I can swipe my icons to launch applications.

ADW Ex because I paid for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kozmo2k4:
Go Launcher EX. Endless customization... Used Zeam and ADW for the longest time prior.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Apex ftw
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Right now Nova prime because of the gesture swipes and app drawer but I still like to use ADW EX because of how easy it is too customized
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zx3junglist:
Thirded on the Nova launcher. Because I'm on ICS, but also because it's more featured than trebuchet or touchwiz, but faster and more nimble than apex.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronny71:
Apex...

Extended Dock Feature...Which I like Next is Go Launcher... And then ADW EX...

All three are loaded on My Roms...Apex runs the best...IMHO...But I like all three...:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Touchwiz, still haven't found anything faster. Love go launcher but it still lags on the app drawer.

ADW EX.cause thats my choice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Nova Prime set to hide status bar with swipe and same with open app drawer. Then my ADW EX set to hide dock and status bar with swipes. I use Home Switcher to go between the two. I love them both on ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I'm still rocking Launcher Pro Plus. For me, its faster the GO Launcher and far less battery drain.

I tried ADW, but whenever I show my phone to somebody who isn't an Android geek ,they manage to screw something up like making the app tray vanish.

I'm still waiting for a *true* daily ICS ROM that I don't have to put up with app install issues or dramatically poorer battery life than GB, so I haven't tried Nova or Trebuchet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qubanaso:
has anyone tried the ported launcher from the Sony Xperia S its kick ass :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qngds:
running CM9

adw ex; i like apex, but adw is faster. nova not as configurable as either (no swipe up/down)

Nova Prime. I have ADW EX as well I just like Nova a bit more it has pretty much everything I want in a launcher not 1 complaint with it yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
Nova because the ics tw launcher was buggy last time I used it plus the new one doesn't have the transition effect I upgraded to ics for

Yes I upgraded to ics for transition effects on a launcher I don't use because the transition effects are gone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mdeathike:
Nova but I regularly switch to spb shell 3d for the widgets
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] starnostar:
On GB...touchwiz hands down just because its the fastest launcher I have ever used on any phone. ADW-EX used to be my favorite, but the dev dosent seem too interested in updating it anymore, and it has trouble remembering my folders and customized app/folder/shortcut names :(

On ICS, apex is my fav, stock ICS with loads and loads of customization
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shig1:
just switched from Launcher pro to SPB 3d, love it apart from not being able to hide the notification bar. Got use to not seeing it with LP
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Nova prime on ICS, Go launcher EX on GB because I like the themes and the calendar widget is the best one I have tried. Yes it's laggy but tolerable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
LauncherPro. I've tried ADW.Ex and Go Launcher and both have quirks. One doesn't have swipes shortcuts on the dock and the other has a massive and ugly dock. I'll try Nova and Apex as soon as the ICS leaks slow down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
ADW EX on GB. Still the fastest one out. Go Launcher is cool but I can't stand how choppy and laggy it is at times. If that ever got fixed I'd definitely consider it for my daily.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamtheug:
Rocking apex on Ics. Have the fewest problems out of it. Plus it has that über handy uninstall feature. LOVE that.

On gb I like adw (don't know about ex.... Don't think so..). The extra little nook under the dock bar is handy as hell. Plus fast and stable

I'm using Apex. It's the most feature packed ICS launcher and you don't have to pay a dime for extra features. I used to use SPB Shell 3D on Gingerbread.

blah blah blah... Go Launcher Ex is the best and beats any launcher you may dream of...

*Sorry, I do realize that I sound cocky! :) *
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] quick99si:
Features, maybe; speed, definitely no. Launcher Pro Plus here, and I've been looking to change for a while, yet nothing works as well for me personally. ADW and GO Launcher are solid as well.

Now if only the dev wasn't MIA (some people thought he died lol)..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deedscreen:
Woah there buddy!!! I

know

that you are not talking about my Go Launcher like that :)

I've NEVER once had a problem with speed as long I've been running it on the SII, on other devices, yes, I agree.

ADW Ex its fast and completely customizable, a couple clicks and looks different.

CM9 alpha 2 with GoLauncher EX and the Ice Cream Sandwich EX theme. Super fast, tons of customization, and it just always works! Came from LauncherPro and ADW.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] keithatoz:
Until recently, I have used ADW Ex as my launcher, and I have used it since my HTC Hero days. But recently I have switched to Apex Launcher, and paired with CM9, is beautiful and silky smooth.

I used to be a loyal GO Launcher EX user but now I'm using Nova Launcher.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psmith1539:
Pre ICS i was using Go Launcher because of all the customization it had but now I'm using Apex Launcher on CM9a2 i like the stock ICS launcher and Apex looks and works exactly like stock but has so many different customization options and the developer constantly updates and fixes problem

For those who have tried both, is Apex smoother than Nova on CM9? I'm on Nova right now..

LPP is seriously awesome, the widgets were great and the performance was excellent. The lack of updates kinda stinks but I paid for it back when he did paypal so I got plenty of use. On ICS I use nova and android pro widgets and am actually a lot happier. I like the widgets more with APW customization wise.

But they'll also collect CA sales tax, which will erase all the savings over some of the other sites that are selling it for a little more.

Do you know any seller at Amazon that assures that their phones comes with Yakju build?

Hi RogerSilva,

That is correct. That is one method to flash Yakju into your phone. There are other methods in this forum. I personally used the method you linked. I was up and running within 5 minutes. If you are inexperienced, make sure you read them first and understand them.

I received my phone yesterday from Dailysteals (the $459 sale) and it did not have yakju. Therefore, the first thing I did was to flash yakju (4.0.4). Good Luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerSilva:
Hi powerchilango,

thanks a lot for helping :)

I have already read this thread(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1391881) carefully, but I'm not sure about the optional steps?

Does anyone know why it is optional to flash the bootloader, radio and recovery partition?Should I flash everything (regardless of the Galaxy Nexus hardware revision)?

BTW, I just found out two galaxy nexus versions at Amazon:

"Samsung I9250 Galaxy Nexus" and "Samsung SA-I9250"

Is there any difference between I9250 and SA-I9250?

(I also searched about it at google, no reasonable answer about it)

(looks like that SA stands for "South America"?It doesn't make much sense)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Can you comment a little more about the phone that you got from Dailsteals? Their sister site Icemonkey.com is selling it for same price. Did it come sealed? When you booted up the phone, did you get the introductory "language" screen? Any other details about it that seemed sketchy?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
It's optional because you don't have to use that radio / bootloader. The objective of that HOW-TO is to get your device to become 'yakju.' Not flashing bootloader / recovery doesn't affect your device being 'yakju' or not. Although it is optional, I highly recommend you flash them. Especially if you plan on staying on that stock 4.0.4. Not doing so may affect your ability to get OTAs.

There are only 3 versions of the Galaxy Nexus.

I9250 ("maguro"): GSM Galaxy Nexus

LTE ("toro"): LTE Galaxy Nexus (Verizon)

DoCoMo Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerSilva:
Hi zephiK,

thanks a lot for helping :)

I understood that I should flash the bootloader, recovery and radio in order to avoid any software instability, right?

What you mean if the assertion bellow?

"if you plan on staying on that stock 4.0.4"

If I flash the "HOW-TO" build, I won't be able to receive any further OTA?

I mean, Will I be stuck with version 4.0.4?

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Bootloader: Not sure.. but having the newest and latest bootloader doesn't hurt, so why not? upon updating the phone via OTA.. it'll update your bootloader. So Google wants you to update it, so why not? :p

Recovery: Not really, depending which route you want to go. If you want to be stock and get OTAs, just flash the radio.

Want custom ROMs and all that fancy stuff? flash Clockwork Recovery instead.

Radio: Want to be fully stock for future OTAs? flash the stock radio.

I'd recommend avoiding "stock OTAs" and just do whatever you want with your phone. Flash all the radios (starting with newest ones and look at the forums for feedback on those radios) and find the one that gives YOU the best reception possible because if one radio is good for someone, it may not be the same thing for you because you two are in different areas so many variables will affect its performance.

If you flash the stock google images (4.0.4) and don't do any modifications to it. You will receive the next OTA when Google releases one. But I don't go with the OTAs and do my own thing with custom ROM, kernels and the radio that best suites me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] powerchilango:
It came sealed and the phone had all the stickers, the ones on the screen and the back as well as the sides ( I mention this because my friend had purchased one from eBay and his didn't come with them). I also did get the introductory language screen, English (United States). It came with 4.0.1 and upon turning it on, it updated to 4.0.2 but it did not have the yakju build. It is a phone destined for Poland ( the box and the getting started paper are in Polish). The only sketchy part is that under the seal, it appears that there was another seal, which was smaller. I checked the IMEI from the box and it matches the one in my phone. Also, they included an adapter for the charger since the plug is for Europe but it came outside the phone's box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerSilva:
Hi zephiK,

thanks a lot for the explanation :)

I am not a developer, so I am a bit concerned about flashing my phone...

Yes that is the thread. The latest radio uglc1 is not updated in the op but the last couple of pages has a link to the radio.

None of this is scary as long as you can follow instructions. Through time gains experience and it'll become common knowledge.

[LG Thrill 4G] -Puck-:
Did you update your Thrill to the v20 baseband first?

If you flashed a late model O3D ROM on your stock Froyo Thrill, you will have no signal because of the incompatable basebands. You will need to either flash the baseband seperately to a US compatable GB one using LGFlash or similar, or reflash the stock ROM back on it and use the Lg Mobile Updater to load the official v20p Gingerbread update (which includes the currect baseband) before flashing a GB ROM.
