This indeed is a very very good launcher. Replicates ICS very accurately. The only problem is that it can be really laggy at times. I really doubt it's my phone... I have an Atrix 2 over clocked to 1.3Ghz. It currently scores about 200 points higher than the Galaxy Nexus on Antutu. I read somewhere that you have to let the cache build up, while it has helped it still can be laggy. After turning off Wallpaper scrolling the desktop scrolling has become smooth but the app drawer can lagg.

Once the app comes out of beta I'd be more than happy to pay for it. Nice job man!

App drawer scrolling speed.

dude if u want the app drawer scrolling to be smooth then go to launcher settings>app drawer>scrolling cache>low quality and also disable open/close animations from the app drawer settings and set transparency to 90 or 100%.

and the scrolling will be smooth.

if you don't want the card stack transition effect then disable the card stack transition effect from app drawer settings and then check your app drawer scrolling will be more smooth.

hit 'thanks' if I helped. :D :cool:

This Launcher is excellent. Well done! I've just been using a alpha build of cm9, but when I put cm7 back, I missed the Launcher LOL.

But I have to say, this mimics, looks, and feels just like ics, as far as the Launcher goes ;-)

The *only* thing that I'd like to see, is an option for folders to auto close after launching an app from within one. As when I go back to my Home screen, it's still open afterwards.

This is not negative feedback, and in some instances it's handy, but having that option, say by default as it is, would be great.

You're doing great things, and using this on cm7, with a ics theme in theme chooser app, blurs the line between cm7 and cm9 LOL ;-)

Far as performance goes, it's working great on my old trusty Samsung Galaxy 5, running cm7 (psyke83's soon to be official port, once cm7.2.0 is released) . I did notice slight lag when listening to music, but I solved it by switching off animations opening app drawer, and altered cache settings for scrolling inside app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] almela72:
+1... ics notification bar... and it's perfect!!
[Android Apps and Games] Ace King 34:
Agreed.

Agreed. :D

if there are custom folders in app drawer and also if there are scrollable Widgets and also ics notifications then it will be number 1 launcher.

There is a need of renaming 'ALL' tab in app drawer to 'APPS'.
[Android Apps and Games] NDeaz:
great idea realy. +99999
[Android Apps and Games] Ellingsoc:
The Launcher does not have anything to do with the notification bar sadly
[Android Apps and Games] nerotNS:
Its nice i like it very much-especially the folders and animations which no other ics clone has.It's also very fast and so far very stable.I use it as my main launcher.Great job and keep up the good work. :D

PS you should submit it to news so it can be seen on the xda portal.I think it deserves a place there.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Great launcher, but need more improvements in scrolling, especially in homescreens. Hippie next beta will be smooth :-) and suggestion: option for setting the transition speed as adw has.
[Android Apps and Games] AldoSebastian:

[Android Apps and Games] ASAM123:
This launcher is amazing! I think its the best ICS launcher there is. It is so much better and smoother than Phoenix launcher and works great on my Droid 1. The only thing it seems to be missing that the real ICS launcher has is widgets in app drawer. Keep up the good work! :)
[Android Apps and Games] farshad525hou:
That's a system limitation of gingerbread, not the launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] hengsheng120:
It doesn't have Widgets drawer in ics either.
[Android Apps and Games] farshad525hou:
That's because he did not add that specific feature in. As the target audience of the project was for Gingerbread users whats the use of implementing a feature that's only available on ICS?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Android Apps and Games] aaCotyaa:
OMG... do you have any idea how long I've been searching for something like this???? I had to revert from ICS roms to GB because the instabilities and lack of drivers was getting to be a problem for me, but I really missed the ICS look and feel. This just fixed everything! Thank you so much.

[Android Apps and Games] GetPatriotized:
Please add vertical/horizontal margins in the next beta release!
[Android Apps and Games] mtmerrick:
I love this app. However, I love my heavily tweaked ADW EX + AltDrawer a tiny bit more.

My small list of things you need to make it (in my eyes) as good as my current setup:

-ADW/other launcher icon pack support

-editable app names and icons IN THE APP DRAWER (this would easily be done by tweaking the hide apps menu)

-The 'all' tab is annoying. I took off the favorites and recent tabs and 'all' just sitting there is... meh. Change it to apps?

-add a setting so that the sliding paginatior can stay at all times, not auto hide.

All in all, minor nitpicks, its almost as good as adwex in my eyes, and I'm a perfectionist when it comes to how my phone looks, really high standards. ;)

I also feel like I must add that I was disappointed to not see a ics-style screen transition effect (open up a stock gnex or a honeycomb+ tablet and flip through the home screens to see what I mean)
[Android Apps and Games] 3 Doors Down:
I was disappointed after using nova on my brothers note, NOVA is snappier and this is just...eek

But I really appreciate your effort.

Great launcher Dev. Only thing I'd add to the wishlist is disable screen redraw for phones with sliding keyboards. Most launchers (Besides Go) don't have this anyways, but I like that option since I use my keyboard a lot.

Thanks for the hardwork!

Nope, if you noticed I said ADE EX + AltDrawer. You CAN manually do that with AltDrawer, but not ADW. Sorry for any confusion. ;)

Also, when you put the phone into landscape, the slider appears at the bottom of the screen instead of on top of the dock. Please fix.

Make sure your rom has theme chooser. Just download the theme to your SD Card, go to the file using a file manager (i use solid explorer), and tap on the file to install it. After that, it should show up in your list of themes. Easy Peasy.

[Android Apps and Games] withbloodskies:
It honestly may not get as smooth as any of the ICS launchers. Holo is for both Gb and ICS, I'm sure it will get smoother and bearable. I at the moment think its pretty good, could be a bit better. But definitely one of the best and only the best for anyone using GB who wants an ICS feeling.

As for the gallery and video Widgets I believe those are just specifically for ICS like sense Widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] withbloodskies:
Please don't vent at the dev, he's done alot to let people use a new home launcher that is ICS.

Obviously a typo in the market, the thread title says 2.2+, I'm sorry that you couldn't install.

Are you by chance rooted? If so maybe you should upgrade to a rom using 2.3.7?

[Android Apps and Games] dfine1966:
First, scrollable widgets now work on my Sprint Evo 3d CDMA non rooted gingerbread phone. I am using Android Pro Widgets and scrollable widgets work fine now. A few small problems I did find.

1st: When you put desktop transition to card stack, icons become transparent or disappear completely. Also scrolling becomes very slow. It works fine with regular transition.

2. After changing setting and then restart Holo Launcher, the blue Page indicator completely disappears, and the only way to get it back is to clear all data from the launcher and start over again. Restarting the phone doesn't get it to appear again. I have had the blue Page indicator completely, forever, even when scrolling, even with the betas.

Otherwise, great new launcher. Can't wait for more updates.

[Android Apps and Games] Roundtableprez:
Explain to me how it is bad/false information, please I'm intrigued by this one. Its the truth. Nobody was taking a swing at your devices, just saying maybe its not running right because of the phone since some people have the issue some don't so yes it really does come down to the phone. Please don't say I'm giving bad/false information when I'm not.. have a good day buddy
[Android Apps and Games] Trina9:
I'm not having any lag issues but for me it's useless until I can resize widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] rudeguy:
ok...I'll play

1)To those who keep saying its lagging its because your phone isnt a top of the line model.

This is untrue on many levels. People with top-spec devices are having lag issues. But people lesser phones were not. No app should require a "top of the line model" to operate. If it does, it is flawed.

2)Imagine taking windows 7 and trying to run it on a computer from 95.

Windows 7 is a full blown OS and this launcher is just an app. The two are completely different. So trying to get an app to run on a couple month old phone and a 14 year (Windows 7 launched late 2009, so we'll go with the earliest possible date) old computer are not the same thing.

3)yes it can be done, but its not going to be perfect.

The minimum system requirements for Windows 7 are:

•1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

•1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

•16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

•DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

I hopped in my Way-Back machine and found the "wish list" for a 1995 computer. Here are those specs:

- Processor: The 80486 chip is officially a has-been in the IBM-compatible world. Look for a minimum 75-megahertz Pentium chip, though the 100-megahertz chip is your best bang for the buck.

- Memory: Like last year, 8 megabytes of RAM is the absolute minimum for both Macs and IBM compatibles. But give serious consideration to 16MB of RAM to get the most out of Windows 95. And if you want to run SoftWindows on the Macintosh -- the Microsoft Windows emulator -- 16MB of RAM is required.

- Hard disk: Get at least a gigabyte of hard-disk space for an IBM-compatible machine and 700MB for a Macintosh. Many of the machines sold via retailers come with so much included software that up to half of the drive may already be full.

So no, Windows 7 would not install on a computer from 1995. And comparing my Droid Charge to a 14 year old computer is not the same thing.

OP-Thanks again for the awesome effort. I can only imagine what its like trying to get ICS features onto a non-ICS device. Please keep up the great work.

The new version works much nicer on my dropad A8. Just I notice a bug on the desktop in landscape mode - icon labels don't display regardless of the option set to show them. Truth is, I can live with that, but it might annoy others.

All those who have issues with lag on low end phones, have you got a very large grid size on desktop or app drawer? I noticed lag on my tablet too with Max gridsize. Its not so surprising when you consider the amount of rewriting to allow the launcher to work on a 2.2 API. Give the dev some credit, he did what many said was impossible! :-D

Oh and those on high end dual core phones. Why aren't you already on ICS? I mean even the unofficial asop releases are fully functional on most devices ;-)
