Don't have a market link for it, but this is by far the most unique launcher I ever used. Its styled after magazines and you can change just about everything. It even has page turning transition effects. A go launcher replacement in my opinion. Go check it out Lord willing

gave it a shot. I like the concept -- but its not for me.
very fast and smooth on my CM7 atrix though.
Definitely interesting.
After emailing the dev, found its closed source though. Personally not fond of using an app with so many permissions without access to source (same story with GO apps)
ADW is still for me, but thanks for sharing.

Really great Launcher, thanks for the tip... this is my new fav.

I came across after a post somewhere here, and it is a ripper. It gives massively more customisation than anything I've seen to date. Effectively you can even set things almost to the pixel, and set every attribute of it. I say things, because you can add may things.
Now that I have freed myself from app launching woes in each launcher by using a combination of WaveLauncher and FolderOrganizer, I can swap launchers at will. I no longer need to mess with app groups in each one, and can customise widgets alone. This one will be one of my all-time faves, I can tell.
I look forward to it progressing. I already have a few suggestions!
I haven't tried this launcher yet, but I also have use both wave/folders together. I find it much more efficient Anne completely frees up my screens.

Has anyone tried this launcher? It has a lot of potential but isn't polished enough to drag me away from Go Launcher yet.

I have it... not too shabby.
Options are a bit limited, especially if you use Launcher Pro.
It's smooth though and I must say, it has promise.
Being free is a plus too.
I just downloaded and set everything up to my liking, so I will test it out for a day and come back with the verdict. But so far, so good, its different, limited to options but its promising.
I tried it. It was... okay. The SPB 3d Launcher was much smoother and actually looks right even with a modified density.
Very nice find!!! Thank you for sharing. Nice launcher to use as a default.
I like the launcher Widgets and all and once this gets a little more work and has some more transition effects, configurable Widgets, etc. I could see this being real good.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've been using it since release, I love the transition effects, especially for flipping pages on the home screen. Still very limited in options, but the extra home screen space is welcomed, I love I can have different wallpapers and title for each page, and I have had no FC's yet, which is impressive for a new launcher just released a couple days ago.
I can't wait to see what further development brings, I have already made this my default launcher.
I think it's really cool. I wish it were more customizable, but it's very polished and nice for a free app.
Thanks for sharing

I've had it for a week and it seems all right. I did use the 3D Digital Weather Clock instead from the Android Market because the Regina on didn't work very well. Other than that, it's pretty good for a starting point.
I downloaded it. Tried it out. Has some cool features like the secret workspace.
Other than that its pretty gimicky and lacks real customization. Obviously has potential since its free. But ya as was mentioned will take more to get away from LP.
The whole 3D thing is cool-ish. Dont see the point in it though!
I feel the same way as everyone else. Used it for a while but really needs some more options before becoming the lp replacement for me.
But great start and lots of potential.
I didnt like it, didnt have many options.
Get the GO Launcher EX from market for free, get some themes, and watch short review video on youtube. Awesome!

Im using it right now and not sure how I'm feeling about it. I'm not talking about bugs or anything, but things like the inability to change shortcuts on the dock and move the apps button to the right irk me.
I do like the button all to the right does. Cool looking and very useful.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Nice. But I will for the official launch when all the bugs are worked out.........I hope.
The button on the right is tits. I just hope you'll be able to customize the menu that pops up whenever you press it.
This launcher, if it's what the 2.4 launcher really is supposed to resemble in any way shape or form, is going to be fokking amazing. I just hope it has the native ability to re-size widgets. I am getting bored of all the other launchers out on the market right now. Been through them all and am bored with them.
you can make suggestions on the thread here at XDA, the developer is really passionate about this app and really wants it to be amazing! feel free to drop a review and your suggestions over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268003
It is faster than hcl and less fcs, I think it I due to the decrease in rows/columns. I think the "running apps only works on cm7 due to the stock apps installed...but correct me if I'm wrong.

I have used it all day on cm7 with no fc's at all. I got it from the bionic thread.

I downloaded Go Locker and it made me download Go Launcher EX as well. Oh well, I was gonna try it anyway. It looks good so far.
You could always test each and see which is the most functional for you...you can also try locked roms such as rocko and imperial found in the development section
The most reliable one I've found is MiLocker, it has alot of options too.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I've come to the determination that WidgetLocker is the cheapest, most configurable lock screen.
GO Locker and Magic Locker are both free to install, but each theme can only be configured a little bit. Free ones are rare and limited, and you're asked to pay at every turn. It's really annoying. I scored WL for 99ยข on sale, but even for the full price of $2.99, it's worth it to pay once and never be bothered again.
Also, you can configure your launch screen pretty much any way you like. There are some cool unlock gimmicks I've seen other launchers use, and I wish WL would add some of them, but the fact that you can make your own lock screen is pretty cool. I wish I could configure one up and save it, and repeat, and have a gallery of lock screens I've made, like the others have, but I'm fine just evolving the one as I see fit.
WL doesn't work on its own, and I don't suppose any of them do. You have to download an app called "No Lock" to get rid of the stock lock screen.
And none of these are valid options if you want security. For that, you have to disable your custom lock screen and use the system one.
Actually MiLocker is totally free, doesn't ask for donations and after reboot the stock lock screen shows up once then it's just MiLocker. The only down side is many of the themes use Asia characters in them.

Is it compatible with the stock ROM, or MIUI only? I had a good time customizing the lockscreen and such when I ran MIUI on my EVO.
Yup, most current stock Blur Rom.

Is there any way to make a selective widget, like the DuckDuckGo widget, persistent in the place of the Google search widget? I ask this because the Google search widget that is persistent doesn't take up a complete grid like it would if I was to add the DuckDuckGo widget to every page at the top.
Adding the DuckDuckGo widget drops everything down much further, even with another grid space added on Nova, than just having the persistent widget does.
I saw with Lightning Laughed you could "pin" a widget in place and it is almost like using a persistent widget, in that it stays in the same place as you scroll through homescreens, but its still very very different. I have also seen Overlays but that is completely different as well.
So is there any way to modify Nova, and of the other launchers, or a ROM to use the DuckDuckGo widget as persistent instead of the Google search bar?

I've been researching for the past couple of days and the closest thing I have been able to find is Lightning Launcher. Sadly that isn't even close to what I'm wanting. I'm going to keep looking and see if I ever run across something, which looks doubtful at this point...
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
Apparently SS Launcher allows pinning as well, I am currently emailing the Dev and discussing persistent widgets but I don't have much hope because he doesn't seem to know what I am talking about or the differences.
I am going to start looking for a way to edit it but I'm not very hopeful I'll find a solution.

Not at all, the ssLauncher Dev has no idea what I a, talking about, he doesn't speak English as his first language so its extremely hard for me to explain things to him. I eventually gave up.
I've heard that the Dev responsible for Action Launcher adds just about anything his users ask for so I am going to email him later today and see if he can and would add that. Ive been trying to figure this out for quite a while and no one knows anything about it and the few that do, I've found 2 people who supposedly know, don't want to explain what edits need to be made.
I'll post back when I get dome talking with the Dev over Action Launcher!

why don't you use a launcher that allow for widget overlapping so you don't have to worry about grid size?

I haven't seen anyone talk about this launcher, but it is awesome. Yes, you have to pay for it, but with the amount of customizations available it's well worth it. I know I'm a newb around here, and this post may not be taken seriously, but I thought I'd try to get a great dev paid to keep up such great work. Best feature that I've been looking for for over a year is being able to put widgets inside a folder on your home screen.
And that's my 2 cents. Please don't be too harsh, remember I'm a newb around here.

This is the "Tasker" of launchers. It's incredibly powerful & customizable. Just a bit of a learning curve. But much like with Tasker, once you do a few things, the rest gets a lot easier to figure out.
I actually got frustrated the first time I tried the free Lightning Launcher. And gave up on it the first day.
Read your thread and got the ambition to try it out again.
Really glad I did.
Nova Prime has been outstanding for me, but I was missing some customization options and Nova Prime developer team has not responded to my inquiries. So I'm going to double-down and watch a couple Lightning Launcher videos and figure it out.
I really, really like that it lets you have multiple home screen/profile setups. So if I'm right, I can pull up a different homescreen setup for each Tasker profile I have set up.
Also, there are profile/themes you can download from Play Store that give you some pre-arranged fancy-ass customization. Just to get you started.
Tsf shell is the best launcher I've found.

Not for the faint of heart...
I love Lightning Launcher and can't say I did the first 5 times I tried it. At first, it is very intimidating for those that are used to the normal/simple way of laying out your homescreen/desktop. I have tried pretty much every launcher out there and love the benefits everyone provides, but have to admit, they are all essentially the same ole desktop, offering nothing truly innovative.
If you want to see the power of LLX, are worried about bugs and improvements, check the Google plus community: https://plus.google.com/115359051724948606262/
Again, this is only for those experienced enough that want something absolutely unique. If you are content with basic folders, simply swiping left/right and having the normal desktop setup this wont be for you. If you actually want freedom to make your desktop look the way you want, give LL a try.

I haven't had any problems with it at all. The customization is still amazing, and everyone in the g+ forum is nice and helpful.
