Hi there!
I'm a noob in android, so sorry my noob questions...
After root, what do i need to do to change the homescreen buttons in xperia x8?
So it looks like a normal android homescreen or htc sence homescreen?
This 4 corner homescreen is horrible!! :S
Best Regards,
Luis
i guess you want to change the homescreen
just go to market and download 'Launcher Pro'
So all i have to do is download and install adw or launcher pro and it will change the buttons? i hate those corner buttons... i prefer like in LG or Samsung or HTC... but in the corners NO!
Thanx!!
Yes just install launcher pro or ADW launcher
I use launcher pro. I hate that 4corner UI too..!!
Yeah, use LauncherPro.

Use SPB Shell 3D
you can update to a custom rom too(i dont recommend it to you because you said you are a noob, but is a way to change those horrible corner icons)
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

I like go Launcher or ADW Launcher. Both are good but used go Launcher the most and enjoyed it the best along with goSMS
If you want to be fast, go launcherpro or adwlauncher. However, there's a popular launcher emerging called golauncher. Its heavily customizable and you can make it look exactly how you want. You should check it out for yourself.

I'd say ADW launcher. It is my favourite of all time right now. But I must ask what is Trancent Launcher? I tried searching for it but I didnt find it.
I say adw launcher ex too. It's fast and well customizable.
But...btw CyanogenMod doesn't have adw as stock launcher?
yeah it does
i am running cm7 on my phone
i just wanted to know
because my cm7 is starting to lag a little.
like it takes aa few second to get past the lock screen
and i though it might be launcher oriented
Zeam launcher or launcher pro. I prefer zeam

I like ADW Launcher EX in combination with ADW notifier as it is fast and highly customizable.
But the best advice I can give is to try all the free versions of launchers and see which one works best for your device.
just curious what launcher everyone is using and/or what others think is the best launcher for our tp's.
i've stuck with trebuchet since it's the closest to what i want (i guess) and sadly the other ones all have issues that piss me off.
i've used adw ex, go launcher, and nova launcher and still am not completely satisfied.
go launcher is almost completely unusable, imo. app drawer freezes/crashes and icon spacing is just really weird. nova launcher could be pretty neat but still has issues (obv it's a beta). i'd probably be really into adw ex if i could get rid of the top bar .
what are your experiences?
I am very satisfied with nova launcher
I like ADW EX, it has some nice tablet features and I use it on my phone as well.
IMO, SPB shell 3D.
I use GO Launcher right now cause that seems to make the wallpapers I download look best. With ADW, they seemed less clear than GL. The wallpaper cropping looked weird on the stock launcher on the Bricked ROM, it made the wallpaper zoom in when in landscape.
About Nova Launcher, how do the wallpapers look on that? I set my wallpaper size to be 1536x1024 and they come out super clear on GL. Was wondering how they look on Nova Launcher.
nova launcher works pretty dang well
Using trebuchet atm..... nova is pretty good too
I am using qq launcher
Go launcher - all the way.
Try Apex

Nova launcher is the best so far, used it as a system app on my ROM(1.3.3 GN GSM Code name Android). No crashes or whatsoever so far

Considering there is no result in the market for "apex launcher" you might want to put in a link to where to find this.

Hey! IMO SPB Shell 3d is the best launcher I've used. Here's a little review and demo I did just for this thread.. Lol.. PM me for more information. You won't regret it!
Push the thanks button if I help! :F
+1 for Apex launcher
Its like Trebuchet but with a lot of cool options!
I use trebuchet. I use nova on my phone but I don't like it on tablets. My two gripes are the app drawer not stretching out and no tablet screen transition. But I'm gonna try out apex now. Thanks!
Launcher
My thoughts:
I like GO and use it on my phone (skyrocket) but with the number of apps I have installed it tends to get laggy in the app drawer on the Tablet.
Trebuchet seems fairly solid.
just switched to nova launcher seems smooth
Going to try apex might read the all the thread first
After trying out most of the different launchers I have to agree that SPB Shell 3D is the best by a mile. Looks and feels beautiful.
Anyone having the issue where the launcher has the menu (the grey bar with 3 dots - not the scrollbar) on the bottom taking up space. both launcher pro and go launcher EX do it, however, Nova does not... the thing is, i like go launcher ex, but the menu bar annoys the crap out of me
adw launcher ex, which was the launcher of choice on my OG, made me so pissed that i got rid of it after about 35 minutes. that bar sucks nut.
sadly, i went back to sense. go launcher was decent on the OG. really decent. it also has the sh1tty menu bar
I got apex, but I really like the 3D app drawer like the nexus s... Oh well, at least it doesn't have the bar. Go laucher pro ex is the best but it has the bar. Blah
I want things like Camera and Wallet on my lock screen, but not on my normal interface dock. I have the HTC Launcher set up with everything I want on my lock screen, and then I'm running Nova on top of that. No dots at the bottom, just pure ICS bliss.

EXACTLY my setup too.
I'm playing with Nova Launcher Prime. Still in beta but pretty good
Glad to hear nova doesn't show the menu button. It's my favorite launcher. Now I just need my Evo LTE

same problem with Go Launcher....
Most ROMs allow you to remove that button now.
