So... any of you guys tried this? I haven't been running it today, no need at this point with MikShift, but if/when I go back to AOSP-based roms, it will definitely be my launcher of choice, especially if they continue to develop and include matching widgets for each Launcher interface.
Thought I'd put the word out, it's quite a nifty home replacement. Find it on XDA or Market.

I was trying out "MYLAUNCHER" that's free in the market. I gotta say, it's not that bad. Still in beta though and in the early stages so not much in the settings menu...
Back to ADW for me for the time being...
Yeah, seemed really boring. Just different docks, right? I think that's supposed to be part of the appeal but it wasn't for me.

If they do decide to include widgets to match the different docks, (sense, blur, touchwiz styled) then it'll be amazing.

Just tried it. Not too bad. I hate horizontal scrolling app drawers but I like the sort options and being able to reorder the apps. The animated trash can opening up eager for my junk was cool too.

Yes, it would. But, since its open source anyone can build and modify it to release with their roms.
If someone wantexd to do that and include widgets, I don't see the harm.

Hey everyone.
Blackhead92 was kind enough to optimize this for us. Here's a link to the post.
***EDIT***
Here's a link to the download. Someone please upload it to the site as I'm at work: http://www.multiupload.com/T0E77ZYB5Z
Darn.. sorry, mods. Could someone please move it to the Apps and Themes sub forum? I got a little too excited and pulled the trigger lol
could you please send this file to me by email? I can't access the link.....

thank you very much!
It's good, but I just can't use it for one reason, the stupid ass grey bar at the bottom. It makes it look terrible and takes up the home screen.
It's all in this thread. I'm posting from work again so I can't send it. Hope this helps though!

This launcher kicks major ass.
Only thing is a meh to me is the lagginess of the drawer.
Other than that the rest is so freakin silky smooth.
Simply because the drawer lags or has a slowish animation, it doesnt mean that the rest of the phone lags, with this launcher its SUPER snappy..
I love IT!! can't wait for an update!

I know, man. I feel the exact same way. There's that teensy bit of lag you mentioned too but I hope it gets cleared up in future versions.
If blackhead92 can't hack those updates, I can create a patch to apply his mods over the stock one. I'm not the greatest coder but I can do this much at least. Such a wicked launcher. Not sure why no one else cares though!?
I personally like the other launchers but they're totally not polished like this one. Too many small, annoying bugs that the devs refuse to fix or just don't care about. I'm a perfectionist and like clean, simplistic launchers. I don't mind the eye candy either. Everyone at work loves this launcher because it's so sleek!
Yeah. Thanks for this. The 5x4 layout is really cool. I'm m not sure if there's a way to get this with other launchers.

Go to Atrix 4G development sub forum, look at "sideloading" mods. Once this is done then enable sideloading in settings > applications (not sure if this is needed or done automatically) and you should be good.

Launcher looks cool, I'm going to try that, but more importantly where you get the theme??
Or mods to the notification bar ? Are the battery icons included. or I could just wrestle my phone away from my daughter and try it I guess.... : )
EDIT: Loaded 960x540.apk. Looks good. App drawer came up relatively fast for me. Still have GB theme icons in notification bar. Going try 7 homescreens and landscape 230-320 now.
Not really digging transparency after launching app drawer. Maybe I'll get used to it.
It is very sweet though. Going on travel tomorrow, we'll see how it hangs with battery vice Launcher Pro.
Good stuff, Thanks !!!!

Hmm, could you? I hate that stupid grey bar. I LOVED it otherwise. Like I said, I just can't use it because of the ugly grey bar. It takes up like 1/5 of the home screen.
Anyways, I'd do it if I knew how...
I would love to hear some ideas from you guys! I am planning to put out a Sense ROM for the E3D once we have S-OFF and, if you know me, you know I love users input and I do my best to make it happen. I actually have the ROM done, I just need to test it once we are S-OFF. If you guys have links to specific Sense 3.0 mods and such, please post those as well.
I actually have one very unique surprise lined up for my ROM, let's just say that it's better than using SetCPU So what would you guys like in a Sense 3.0 ROM?
Looking forward to it. I'm not sure if its possible but I'd love to see the app drawer modded so that after you launch an app, you go back to the home-screen instead of back to the app drawer.

And defiantly the speakers louder and arrows on the keyboard would be nice. Og EVO keyboard ported maybe??

This is a limitation of the HTC Sense BT stack. I remember a thread in the EVO 4G section about getting the CM BT stack working on Sense. I don't know whatever happened with that, though.

Sound and brightness controls added to quick settings (was possible with OG Evo) would be awesome.
If at all possible, enabling a long press on the volume rocker to change music track while screen is asleep (maybe port from CM?). I think that's difficult due to the HTC Music player being closed source.
Audio tweaks maybe, to increase sound output.
Dancing Droid on incoming calls, perhaps? (was used in kingdom or synergy on Evo, forget which one)
I'm sure I'll think of some more, but some of those would be pretty cool to start out. They are all things that should be included in a stock ROM from HTC, IMO.

That's pretty much exactly like I want too.
I want the ROM to not open a ton of useless crap that I dont want open. Like when the phone starts, why does Spiderman game become active? Why are maps always active? all those random little things that dont need to be open and are sucking up RAM for no reason.
I would also like the older app drawer, I think it might be the stock gingerbread "3d" app drawer. It was so smooth and looked nice. The stock Sense 3.0 app drawer is too unimaginative just sliding through different pages of apps.
1) Autobrightness adjusting app or simply dimmer autobrightness (except in direct sunlight, where it should be maxed).
2) Better caching of apps/icons in ram, so there's no lag.
3) Gpu acceleration of gui and live wallpapers.
4) Slow down or turn off carousel.
GPU acceleration, a semi-transparent Rosie launcher *stock* with the ROM, and the 3D AOSP gallery/3D app drawer (Cyanogenmod style).
Oooh also add in the new Market! People would be all over that, I love it. I've added it for convenience.
I have been using this incredible launcher in conjunction with rocko rom and jokers stable 1.4 gpu oc kernel. I can say that this launcher is amazing!!! Give it a try.

There are more themes in Google Play than in the built-in theme selector. Maybe that's what (s)he's seeing.
This launcher is cool, but it feels rushed in a few ways. For example, why can't I configure:
Where the MX (Cover screen?) button goes
Where the app drawer icon goes, or its icon (and why isn't it themed?)
The number of docks. I just want the one.
The task killer. I can already open it by long-pressing app drawer. Yet I can't move the dedicated task killer launcher (from dock 2).
The names and colors of the folders in the app drawer. No "Games"? And what is Lifestyle anyway?
The icons on the clock. Yes, I know I can change them, but to select Music, I have to have it launch the stock Blur music app? No thanks, I like the MIUI one, TYVM. Likewise with Contacts, I can't make it open Contapps. Gallery won't open QuickPic. You see where this is going.
The home screen indicator. I'm fine with it being there when I'm changing screens, but all the time? Not feeling it.
Other than that, it is a nice launcher. When placing icons, you get the grid from GO Launcher EX. Also from GO is the home screen configuration (press Home, this lets you add or remove home screens, or move them around). From GO and ADW it has a popup when long-pressing icons; other than being more visually impressive, it adds an Info option which takes you to its page in Settings/Applications (this is good if you want to force close the app, or maybe clear its cache, or remove its defaults).
The settings are also really bare and spread out amongst some confusing labels.
This app has a couple neat ideas. The app drawer and cover screen are nice touches, but the customization is very shallow. It feels like a beta, a work in progress. I'll keep it around because this thing is just dripping with potential.

Ah yeah I saw a "t" in there that wasn't there lol. Yeah I saw the team syndicate one and I tried it out, only problem is it was kinda designed for gb and froyo so it has a virtual notification bar that can't be disabled...

GO Launcher EX is good. Has lots of features that most Launchers don't
But I always miss the glorious sense widgets that you cannot get any where else.
Honestly I've warmed up to the sense launcher a bit. Its basic and bare but the cool animations and awesome sense widgets make it worth using. As far as real estate, Go launcher HD had the issue too, just seems to be a honeycomb thing so whatever really. Think I'll just stick with Sense for now!
yea go launcher HD (beta) is a nice alternative to the stock or htc launchers for sure. just started using it today and really like the folder support
it's not on the market u'll have to search around for it
Yeah I found it from a google search, had a download link,and thats how I got it
Yeah I tried Go Launcher HD and it certainly a beta. Need lots of work.
