Hi,
is there a launcher or theme like the launcher on the Galaxy Tab?
I already tested the launcher of the Dell stage, but it wasn't smooth and the Galaxy Tab stock launcher doesn't work, because of the other resolution.
The theme/launcher should have an appdrawer where the wallpaper can shine through, not black like on the stock launcher.

Give that a shot.
I already tested that launcher and it doesn't fill the screen, only the left side. I think, that's a resolution problem.
Are there any other opportunities?
ADW Launcher EX Iphonish skin.
Thanks, but ADW isn't smooth, too.
Is ADW smooth on your Archos?
Adw launcher EX is much faster as the normal ADW launcher, i use it on my archos 70it 250gb and works great.
I've installed the ADWLauncher EX, but it's not as smooth as the LauncherPro Plus. When I rotate the Archos then go into the app drawer, it's very slow for the first seconds. After that, it's smoother, but not as perfect as the LauncherPro.
Does the ADW Launcher Ex on your Archos is as smooth as the LauncherPro?

LauncherPro is smoother. ADW has nicer transitions etc.

You're right. But in my opinion, smoother scrolling is more important than the design. But ADW has really nice icons and transitions.
Well, I wait for new versions of ADW with a better performance.
I tried most alunchers on my 70 250gb and easily the smoothest and fastest is go launcher, another thing it DOESNT suffer from is the missallignment of screen when first opening home a niggly issue with all other replecement launchers because of soft buttons on Archos , its also the only launcher that seems to like crop wallpaper app , just wish it had more options than 5 x 5 grid
heres hoping
Yes, but it doesn't have the nice Galaxy Tab like theme, has it?

was just reading this thread HOPING to find a launcher that handles the soft buttons without issues. launcherpro and adw are completely broken in how they deal with the off kilter resolution. fast, yes, but not working correctly.
go is good? then I'm going back to go. I used it briefly on a galaxy tab and enjoyed it although foudn it slower than adw ex or launcherpro.

I'll tell you something... after owning a tab for a while - that theme became truly annoying and the tab launcher is frustratingly limited.
I was happy to use any other launcher on my tab.
I acdtually prefer the layout and look of the archos launcher to the galaxy tab launcher. fake iphone launchers like the galaxy tab launcher are actually kind of annoying after a while.
Im using Launcher Pro and desktop visualizer. Never had an issue with resolution (if you mean wallpaper res, use multipicture live wallpaper). Soft buttons work perfectly as well. One tip, make sure you change the rows/ columns so widgets fit properly. Sorry, no root = no screenshots.
have you or anyone here tried shell 3d. it is a 3d launcher. i tried to install it but it failed every time. if anyone has made it work let me know
go launcher imo is the closest to samsung galaxy launcher. the screen previews look identical. and theyre rearrangeable. you can add up to 25-30 homescreens. your best bet.
SPB 3D Shell gives me the same problem, it just fails every time I try to install it, it probably needs the device to be a phone for all the sms widgets n stuff anyways, ADW is probably the one that looks more like the galaxy tab launcher if you customize it a bit, launcher pro is fast but not so customizable, don't like the app drawer in go launcher, currently I'm trying Zeam, it's the best for performanche (Smooth and Fast) but you can't customize it at all almost
Check out the fake launcher I made on my theme.
This Launcher is designed with landscape tablets in mind! (that’s not to say it doesn’t also function well in portrait mode….. as it does).

this one has potential if someone can figure out why it freezes the system durring install
Hey guys, I was wondering if there was anyway to get rid of a few pages from the default motoblur launcher. I actually prefer the overall appearance over other launchers (LP, ADW, Go Launcher)...but I only want 3 pages. Is there any way to do this, or do I need to just stick with another launcher? TIA.
I'd like to know this too.
TIA
Idk if this works on motoblur but on adw if u hit the June button there is a choice that says edit if u press that you can delete screens
I would like to know if there is a way to resequence the Home Screens under MotoBlur?
I know I can do it with the other apps like ADW EX Launcher. And, I am not interested in MotoBlur sucks comments.
Title says it all.
I have tried launcher pro and AWD. AWD was laggy for me so I uninstalled it. I didn't give it a chance. What is your favourite launcher?
I would go with Launcher Pro, doesn't lag at all for me
I had used ADW for a while, and didn't have too much trouble. But today I just switched to LauncherPro and I'm loving it. I like the window animations in the free version, I LOVE the dock customization and icons and such. I agree that it seems to be really snappy and doesn't lag and such either. It's a little harder to customize icons on the home screen, as you have to delete the current one and add a new custom one and change the icon while adding it and such. But overall, there isn't really anything ADW can do that LP can't!
Launcher EX is pretty awesome... and its free. check it out

thats what iam using as well. works fine!
I use ADW as my "main", but also have Android Seven pro, Go Launcher EX, HeLauncher, LauncherPro, Regina Launcher, and SPB Shell 3D on my phone.
I haven't had time to try them all out fully, and that is why I have so many............so that I can experiment and see which one or two I really like, then set them up how I want them. I have been using ADW EX for a while, and really like it. I haven't experienced lag, but I will say that Go Launcher and LauncherPro do seem a wee bit smoother from the minimal time I have spent "playing" with them.
My plan is to have one main launcher for my every day use, then maybe one or two more for specific times. Maybe a launcher set up solely for multimedia, one set up solely for business, etc. That's what I love about Android since I jumped off the iPhone ship..........the possibilities really are endless!
I use both Go Launcher EX and the paid Launcher Pro. Personally I find myself using Launcher Pro the vast majority of the time. Go Launcher had some cool options, and changing docks and icons were a bit easier, but Launcher Pro has some nice built in widgets that tip the scale in its favor for me.
I really don't like the MotoBlur Calendar and Facebook widgets, and none of the 3rd party ones really gave me what I was looking for. But the ones that come with Launcher Pro are just what I was looking for, and they are easily skinned as well. Plus Launcher Pro runs very smoothly, much better than Blur.

I have the paid versions for both ADW and LauncherPro, but I run GO Launcher EX.
SPB SHELL 3D
At least the best eye candy by far. And the folder widgets are amazing. Though if live wallpapers and landscape mode are important for you, stay away.

MotoBlur launcher o/
Been using ADW Ex for almost a year, first on my Milestone, now on Atrix. It's fast, light and customizable as well. I recommend it 100%
I've been using Go Launcher Ex. I like it more than launcher pro. I will definitaley try ADW.
MotoBlur launcher is the best, by far.
Nah, I'm just trollin' ya. I haven't found a launcher that I liked. LauncherPro lagged for me somewhat, and it didn't offer some features that I wanted. Doesn't the launcher lay on top of blur already, laying on top of android stock? (or modified to use more system resources)

I have now tried Launcher Pro, ADW, and Go Launcher. None of them are near as fast as stock launcher (not motoblur, I'm using gingerblur). I really like the features that the launchers offer but I wish they were just as smooth as stock.

Err, Moto IS your stock launcher!
And GingerBlur is NOT a launcher, it's a P-ROM/THEME!
on the stock gingerblur launcher though, don't you notice slight stuttering when compared to launcher pro or other 3rd party launchers?
I saw this launcher, Action Launcher Pro, and I didn't really like it, but I did love the idea of sliding my phone app up and then seeing favourite contacts. Same thing for the broweser, I slide up and I see a few bookmarks... Looks really nice!
Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiQ1LXRZIno
Are there any launchers, tweaks or mods that do that?
