[Help] How do I make a Launcher? - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

I was hoping someone could tell me how to create my own app. I want to make a launcher with only one screen and that I can choose wallpapers vertical WITHOUT zooming in or what. And an app drawer I can pull up. And as smooth as launcher go :3 Or is there already a launcher like this. (Not Helix Launcher....)

I take it you've tried LauncherPro? Very smart launcher. Can be very minimal or completely over-the-top. It's entirely up to you. And it's fast =]

Yup launcherpro is no doubt the fastest launcher.
To OP it's not easy to write an app.

Oke thanks
But isn't there a launcher like I want?

you can use gingerbread launcher very smooth!!!

Well, are you trying to simulate another interface? Cuz I don't understand what launcher characteristics you want.

What launcher do you use? AND WHY!!!
I will come with a poll when on PC...
I USE NEMUS LAUNCHER

I use LauncherPro, because I prefer stability and smoothness more than features.
Zeam, because I like to stay minimal & I don't need a bunch of options.

360 launcher translated by melvinchng.You can find it in the android apps and games forum.
se active launcher..
I like nemus except for one reason the flipping of pages on desktop is really slow when you swipe fast.

Nemus has a vert few extras, and smooth, and awesome UI, nemustech made regina too, remember, and that is awesome 3D, a higher end 3D than any game, and still, smooth on this crappy phone, they have a "simple code hack"... cmon, try them you will be amazed...
Oh and sgs2 users were amazed that regina has that awesome ui and still... takes less battery than stock... very odd

Strongly suggest searching for 360 launcher, installing it and using its built in lockscreen function with the Android 4.0 theme.
It is shockingly smooth and fast. Also you dont have to use 360 launcher as default, after enabling the lockscreen, you can use ADW or anything else

What do you mean? I find it the best upto now.. no lags and no freezing. Widgetlocker is fine but sucks up battery. Milocker is fine too but it lags. Golocker needs Go launcher to be used as default. So i stick with 360

ADW EX best

go launcher actually is best because it give more customization then any other but not fastest.so for me adw launcher ex is better
guys....i think holo launcher will overcome all of them...i mean it's fully customizable (like LP)...and smooth as a butter....and for our low end fone it's simply perfect...especially with the last update it's even better...that's my opinion based on experience though
I can't get ride of launcher pro plus...the most stable for me !
i really like nemus launcher

yeah that's the one thing i don't like about the miui ROM, definitely not about having all apps on home screen.

You can always switch launchers or activate app drawer in miui roms

Launcher app

Hey, I was wondering how do you add apps to the launcher at the bottom by the app drawer buttons the home screen? I took out messaging and internet by accident and now I don't know how to add it back, thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Just drop and drop when you are in home screen, so make sure the apps are on current home screen (I'm pretty sure I don't use TW launcher)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
If you are still using the stock launcher, I would highly recommend to change it. You won't have to root just download it of the market. Best launcher for SIII is Nova. Try it, it will let you have 6 icons vertically on the screen and so much more.
Good luck

[Q] icons.

I was wondering if there is any app that can extract or at least lets me use icons from themes of some famous launchers? I dont use such launchers as i don't want them feeding on phone's memory but i love the icons!
Well you could open the launcher apk and go in and look for them
