[Q] Official ICS Launcher? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Now that the sources are released, is it possible to make the Launcher2.apk to work on all devices? If yes, then would someone do it?

+1, i alredy created a thread for this but without any resoults, they all just send me links to themes or clones.

Yeah... i dont want any thenes nor clones... I want the real thing.. i suppose they need to change the framework.. maybe make it compatible w/ CM7..

So we need a dev to do it.

I don't think it's possible.. I mean look at Gingerbread, nobody except for the Nexus S really had it..
Yeah there were lots of lookalikes on the market but nothing really had that smooth 3D app drawer.

Yeah but if you enter the app drawer you'll see it's lacking the smooth 3D effect that the real one has

NAAAAAAh thats wrong. On my Xperia Play the Gingerbread launcher is perfect, icons are not blurry at all and completly smooth, it is just perfect. Also GB Launcher and and ICS launcher are very differen. there is no 3d app drawer in ICS.

It can probably be ported to Gingerbread, but they are using some of the new Ice Cream Sandwich APIs so it is going to take some work. Some things like widget resize, widget preview and animation stuff are not available in Gingerbread so it might not be possible to port all functionality.

Hmmm thats not nice to hear. Anyway, even without widget priviw it would be awesome.

Port Blur and Fedes music app notif bar?

Now I know im gonna get a lot of...
"Blur sucks why r u asking?
"wtf is Fedes music app?"
But well I would like to see how blur is on a HTC device, maybe better than a MOTO device? The notification bar for the music app is sick. Look in Android apps and themes and its the wp7 music player.

I think Blur is better than sense.. (did I just say that?). It has the features without all the monster bloat.
I can easily see myself driving a Bionic if/when she drops.

Really? When I had my Droid X I couldn't get an aosp ROM on there fast enough and would always use LPP. With the Thunderbolt I actually am really starting to like sense especially with all the work team BAMF is doing. The newer blur is definitely an improvement from when I was using it, but I still think sense kills it.

I think blur has some pretty neat elements too. However, I still prefer Sense. Nice thing about blur, I could use blur widgets with LPP and ADW.

You will be almost always "forever alone" if you want blur on a non moto phone

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

really liking the tablet mode, it gives the phone a whole defferent feel overall.

That's what I meant by "resizing the widget doesn't cut it" I've already stretched it as much as I can with the widget resize feature...which is whats in my screen shot.

HTC Sense Apps on ICS AOSP - HTC ReZound??

Does anyone know if / how this can be done?
I am not sure about this idea, but couldn't someone just kind of extract the clock widget, etc.?
If nothing else, a tutorial on decompiling apk files with Virtuous Ten Studio, I really just want the HTC Sense clock and all the clocks in the market do not compare with the flip animation, one comes close by droid27.

I'm sure he'll make a version for it now since we actually have AOSP
I hope so, the Rom I am using can go both aosp and sense 3.6.
Hopefully one that also replaces the immovable search box...

It's probably just desensed, which usually runs on the APex launcher. We don't have any AOSP roms yet. It's not quite stable yet.. But almost
