I've never used helix, but I'm one of the few that likes touchwiz quite alot
I use ADW on my mytouch3g and touchwiz on my vibrant, though I will say that I purchased the paid version of launcher pro as well and I generaly recomend launcher pro to new users as it is very simple to use.
i also love touchwiz but the devs doesn't support it.

Well I was going to try it out but I didn't see it as an option on the market. I'm running Froyo for what it's worth.
There is no perfect launcher imo, I would like launcher pro's home screen functionality with TW's horizontal tray. ADW doesn't cut it.

ADW actually has more homescreen options than launcher pro (it just doesent have the widgets that the paid version of LP has) and it has the horizontal drawer as an option, if thats what you wanted. you can also find equivilent widgets on the market to those of LP. the only features I've found that LP has that ADW does not is the ability to change the dockbar image and the 3d app drawer.
The newsest version of ADW is really pretty nice
although I will say that ADW is meant to be tweaked and customized, it has tons of options to play with, where Launcher Pro is set up pretty nicely as it is.
Show me how to have a scrolling dockbar, and use your own images in the dockbar of adw in the settings. Not to mention showing adw run as smooth as lp.

Launcher Pro is definitely the most functional and customizable launcher out right now...and it's going to get even better when the new code is finished.

The dev is rewriting all the code to clean it up and make it more efficient for better performance...supposed to be done in January.

That's why i don't use the ADW. It looks nice if you know how to customize, unfortunately i don't.

It would be perfect if he just added the horizontal tray as an option. I love options...
Tw vs Helix = i pick Tw
i personally use launcherpro.. but i still keep the TWlauncher as an option to switch back to from time to time
Hey guys is there any way to disable the perspective(scrolling) wallpaper on Android? I have an evo
running mik g rom. Thanks for the help in advance!
Swyped from mah evo!
If you mean how the wallpaper scrolls with home screens, then I know you can use Nemus launcher and that's an option in the settings.

Nothing i've ever heard of. There's no good reason not to install another Launcher that has this option though. Launcher Pro or ADW are probably the favourite choices.

Try the OGQ background app, with it you can choose scrolling/nonscrolling etc...
It's awesome.
You can find it in the market, backgrounds by OGQ

Yes... This app has an option to do that...
Did you not read my post.
You can use this so to set wallpapers you already have too by going into gallery, closing set as, and them picking this app out of the list.
Wallpapyrus gives the options to have iPhone like wallpaper (ie no scrolling)
Market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.wallpaper
There seems to be enough screen space to fit 5x5 icons on the homescreens instead of 4x4.
What's the easiest way to do this on a stock SGS3?
I don't think there are any mods yet to change the stock TW launcher. You might want to check out Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher if you haven't already.

In fact, TW is already modded...

Or just install another launcher such as Go Launcher.

I tried out Nova (free) for a few days, have uninstalled due to:
- icons sometimes take a while to reappear.
- Calendar / S Planner widget sometimes takes a long time to populate.
The TW mods appear to need root... so I'm back to stock TW, and realizing that I don't need more than 4x4 that badly.
Anyone having issues with LP? I ask beacause I may be. Issues such as home screens randomly switching, random FC's, and multiple widgets not being able to autoload. I realize that the widgets could be specific however having 3-5 a day not load leads me to the common denominator wich would be LP.
Atm I am only rooted with LP.
Peace

LauncherPro has not been updated in a long time. Also it does not play well with ics. Better use Nova launcher.
And one last thing, you asked this on the development section, which is only for a Android development.
I don't believe the author off launcher pro has updated it for compatibility with ics. Checkout apex launcher, you can use the launcher pro icons if you would like.

This post belongs in the general section, not the development section.
You'd be better off with the Apex launcher. Or Nova launcher.

Thanks for the headsup on the other two launchers...and the reason i posted here was because of the fact i considered the issue to be related to development of third party sw....if the development thread is reserved only for roms then my bad.
Thanks again for the responses.

Apparently I do....when I find somin I like...I use it. Now if you have somin you wrote that is better let me know and I'll give it a try. However if you're one of those POS's that would rather troll than provide productive information, go ask your mom for arcade money and leave these threads for those that want to properly educate peeps.
Once again...thanks to the previous posters...I have tried both Apex and Nova and have decided to use both depending on my mood. They both provide more fluid properties than LP and buy utilizing both i am afforded a cheap and easy way to change themes.
Peace
I used launcher pro a lot, and it's very sad the dev gave up on it, but I found that GO launcher is the closest best thing (looks quite similar too in default), and it has so many more great features. I highly recommend to try it, if you haven't yet.

Personally, I recommend Apex launcher; its literally like the ICS version of launcher pro.

After the ICS update for the SGS2 is when LP went south for me. After reading about all the other options out there I went with Apex and paid for it. The big down side to Apex was lack of a calendar widget. So I ended up going with GO Launcher.
Honestly I'd love to used the TW Calendar - if anyone know how to used that with a different launcher I'm all eyes.

TELL ME ABOUT IT. I love the ACTUAL calendar, just something I can glance at....I've been looking into things on that particular note.
Just curious if people prefer stock or a replacement launcher?

Nova.
I used ROM Cleaner to remove the sense launcher.
Ha I was also wondering this. Was just about to ask and saw this thread. I was wanting to make a sleek simple homescreen and someone said I couldn't change icons with stock launcher.
How easy is it to switch back and forth between launchers?
As easy as installing from the play store and running it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
But would it keep all the settings. Like could you set up two different launchers and have them set the way you want. Then just feel like going to a different look one day just because you feel like it lol.
Yes. A launcher is just an app like any other app. Settings get saved.
Nova, have used it since I got my Galaxy S2. Love it easy backup/restore change icons individually, and more!
Just installed Nova Launcher and gotta say its pretty cool. Here's what I created. Just two questions. Can nova launcher make the status bar clear? And I used simple text to change icons on the dock but it has black background behind the words. Can I make that clear somehow.
I use apex launcher and as nova
It's amazing, I had no trouble changing plenty of phones while keeping my layout

Action Launcher - allows minimalist approach, very fast to select apps. And Blink Feed app from appstore switches back into sense launcher so I can go back and forth.
Apex
This may be the perfect place to post this:
Does anyone know of a launcher (or can creat one) that is JUST the Sense 5 app drawer?
i.e: unlock your phone, and hit the app drawer button: THAT is ALL I want to see.

I've always liked the stock launchers over Nova, Apex, etc. Although I did enjoy them on CM roms on the One X when I had it. Usually I'm not a fan of stock Android. I've always much preferred the manufacturer skins.
I love sense 5 too much to switch
