I've been messing around with this on my phone and really like it. I just downloaded it on my Prime and although I haven't set it up yet it seems to work fine. The launcher is kind of like Hubs on steroids lol. Its got some really cool features and although it's definitely not the most lightweight I think it makes up for it in customization. It's also ridiculously smooth once you mess with the settings(raising the bitmap limit did it for me).
Also: I am not a developer of this app and I am in no way affiliated with this app or its developers. I am only sharing this app so others can try it.
***New style. I decided to go with everything on 1 screen.
Also I got tired of attaching pics(uploading from prime isn't working) so instead im trying a dropbox link. Hopefully it works and lets you view them not download them, otherwise ill upload them soon.

IGNORE THE PICS BELOW (I'll delete them when I get on a desktop idk how to on my prime)
Great on phones but useless on the prime as all the themes are in portrait mode and look horrible in landscape has a lot of potential to be good though!
That crappy launcher has been around forever and it sucks. Why the hell are you saying its new?

I said new because I hadn't seen it before and it wasn't on this forum anywhere that I could see. Also this app has recently been getting a lot more updates and features as well as bug fixes. Idk why you felt the need to make your comment, but theres my answer.

I agree about that if you just use the themes w/o modifing theme, but since its all customizable I think you can make it look pretty nice even in landscape. I figure if people want to take the time to make a HUBS layout then they'll be able to take the time to set up another type of layout if it looks nice too.

Jeez, I really don't see why everyone hates this so much. Anyways I thought I'd post some pics of what I've done with it so far...I'm no where near being finished and I may completely change it, but for now heres some examples of what it can look like.

The launcher is not so nice but its nice when people have good intentions and its NOT nice when people bash them right away like assholes, you can just say 'Old launcher, seen it before'.
BTW to the OP can you upload the background picture? It's awesome!

The background is actually a live wallpaper called hive or something, its near the top on the market under live wallpapers. There is a paid and free version available.

Hey everyone.
Blackhead92 was kind enough to optimize this for us. Here's a link to the post.
***EDIT***
Here's a link to the download. Someone please upload it to the site as I'm at work: http://www.multiupload.com/T0E77ZYB5Z
Darn.. sorry, mods. Could someone please move it to the Apps and Themes sub forum? I got a little too excited and pulled the trigger lol
could you please send this file to me by email? I can't access the link.....

thank you very much!
It's good, but I just can't use it for one reason, the stupid ass grey bar at the bottom. It makes it look terrible and takes up the home screen.
It's all in this thread. I'm posting from work again so I can't send it. Hope this helps though!

This launcher kicks major ass.
Only thing is a meh to me is the lagginess of the drawer.
Other than that the rest is so freakin silky smooth.
Simply because the drawer lags or has a slowish animation, it doesnt mean that the rest of the phone lags, with this launcher its SUPER snappy..
I love IT!! can't wait for an update!

I know, man. I feel the exact same way. There's that teensy bit of lag you mentioned too but I hope it gets cleared up in future versions.
If blackhead92 can't hack those updates, I can create a patch to apply his mods over the stock one. I'm not the greatest coder but I can do this much at least. Such a wicked launcher. Not sure why no one else cares though!?
I personally like the other launchers but they're totally not polished like this one. Too many small, annoying bugs that the devs refuse to fix or just don't care about. I'm a perfectionist and like clean, simplistic launchers. I don't mind the eye candy either. Everyone at work loves this launcher because it's so sleek!
Yeah. Thanks for this. The 5x4 layout is really cool. I'm m not sure if there's a way to get this with other launchers.

Go to Atrix 4G development sub forum, look at "sideloading" mods. Once this is done then enable sideloading in settings > applications (not sure if this is needed or done automatically) and you should be good.

Launcher looks cool, I'm going to try that, but more importantly where you get the theme??
Or mods to the notification bar ? Are the battery icons included. or I could just wrestle my phone away from my daughter and try it I guess.... : )
EDIT: Loaded 960x540.apk. Looks good. App drawer came up relatively fast for me. Still have GB theme icons in notification bar. Going try 7 homescreens and landscape 230-320 now.
Not really digging transparency after launching app drawer. Maybe I'll get used to it.
It is very sweet though. Going on travel tomorrow, we'll see how it hangs with battery vice Launcher Pro.
Good stuff, Thanks !!!!

Hmm, could you? I hate that stupid grey bar. I LOVED it otherwise. Like I said, I just can't use it because of the ugly grey bar. It takes up like 1/5 of the home screen.
Anyways, I'd do it if I knew how...
Alright I realize that 3.0 is made for tablets so I am not asking for a port or anything, but I was wondering if anyone has made a theme resembling it or if there is a rom that looks like it? I was checking out some videos of honeycomb and it looks really cool. And before posting this I did use the search feature and I didnt find anything..and I was a little confused by some thread titles lol
If you are running CyanogenMod Rom then you can use the honeycomb theme.
Well thres also simply galaxy 3.0 which is gingerbread witg a honeycomb thene... its a bit unstable but utherwise its pretty damn amazing

No prob. Just go to the market and search for the FREE "Honeycomb ADW Theme" by GFX Android. Out of all the themes that cost money, this one is ABSOLUTELY FREE and definitely the best. Wait till you see the mother load of icons it comes with along with the search bar you are asking for. And, you can always get as creative as you want with a little patience and Root Explorer, lol!

That looks like a sweet theme and for adw? Never really tried that launcher but ehh what the hell lol. Thanks for sharing guys
ok, if your like me then your looking to replace the stock launcher on a daily basis but have yet to do so because they all run with a degree of lag. (except tw)
Well good news!
There is another launcher i found to work very well with the galaxy note and it is called "aShell" - It's based off of ADW
It has a lot of similar features....... heck.... it looks strikingly similar.... almost a clone! I found it to use less memory and it is almost lag-free (i have widgets all over the place on 6 homescreens, btw). Plus it has quite a few features that ADW doesn't have ...... oh, and use the "scatter" transition - it's pretty neat.
Anyway, give the dam thing a try!
************EDIT********
Go Launcher 2.81 is available on the market. I suggest everyone try it. I am running the V6 Supercharger 1000hp setting with Go and it's the best so far... runs almost perfect on my note... with 6 homescreens full of widgets. GIVE it a.... GO
And if it works for you, hit the "THanK" button

thanks for this....always like trying new launchers....just installed and wallpaper scrolling works on this one.
will test this for a few days.....I am a hardcore ADWEx user.
yeah, i'm sure a lot of us will be please with it. i came from go.... using adw till they optimize but then i found this lol... my only discrepancy is the app drawer. but i can live with it for now.
will def try this out......
Edit: i still noticed lag in the app drawer.
adw ex didnt have that. im using go launcher right now, just switched from Spb shell. and will give this one a full test for a couple days and see if i can get ti run smoothly for me.
thanks for posting it up, im always looking for new launchers.
likewise... the launcher is the alpha-omega of the android experience in my opinion.
I've posted feedback to the developer with regards to the app drawer - I believe the launcher is still in the alpha stages, but it has a lot of potential.
I like the different features like the dock icons... if you drag each one of them up they pull up something different... like the phone pulls up the photo contacts and such.. These guys are definitely thinking differently.
yeah, some cool features.....
does it support vertical app drawer scrolling? I didn't see it. But I am at work so I am looking quickly and trying to be productive.
LOL

I thought android apps came with a 15 minute return policy? You could always try it and request for a refund.
Although, I don't see this particular launcher in my market, I can see it on market.android.com but not on my phone.
I think nemus is smoother and the dock can scroll to allow more apps in the dock and the app drawer will loop screens
Www

Trials are pointless because you can download the cracked app or crack the app and install it (like SPB Crack) for free.
I have done this with apps like widget locker, but when i found myself using them all the time i purchased it. That's my way of weeding out the bull$hit... "create-a-trial" lol

This launcher was first released mid-december 2011 - it's still developing.
I haven't tried nemus.... (might install and give it a go)
didn't like nemus....I am a launcher whore and I usually try them out as soon as I see them.
I'm not paying 17 bucks for something I can only test drive for less than 30 minutes. How the h*ll are you suppose to evaluate it in 15 minutes? Maybe if you are hopped up on speed, redbull or something, but most people can't evaluate it
in 15 minutes.
I don't go for cracked software, but I might just to see how it works for a day or two. If I like it, I'll buy it, but most likely it will end up being removed and forgotten.

Yeah everything works. Pushed it to system like instructions said. I got a random FC once but it's not a problem. It's light and fast, but too bad for the lack of settings. I know it's for the paid one, but I'm not really gonna cough up two bucks for it so yeah. Also I have problems with 4x4 widgets not showing correctly. Other than that it's great.
I really like the widgets tab on the app drawer because adding widgets is a pain for me, I have so many to scroll through.

Yeah that's true. The theme add ons aren't in English for the most part. However, they're done well enough that you know what you're getting without them being in English.
It's actually really pretty nice. I'm not sure if I'll keep it as my daily launcher. But I do like that when you turn it to landscape, the dock icons rotate to landscape rather than staying in portrait. It's also pretty smooth. And all the menus and what not are in English.
Yeh I had fun playing with the launcher but seems I'm missing a few things iI like.. the launcher doanr seem to have the ability to remove icon text on homescreens which I miss....but has some other cool features that make it cool like the whit spots.. there's a video in that thread if you watch it which shows alot..and has the ability to monitor outgoing data and wifi data which is nice and a kill process widget built in ... but lacks the dock bar to replace unless I'm missing something? .. but its cool to play with it and if it suits you then awesome.. but if not you didn't lose anything other then time..but its nice to explore other options right guys? ..

That's strange mine was English as well.. some apps where in chinese.. but in that thread they have english apps u can download separately ...
The widgets are mostly in Traditional Chinese from what I saw, but the rest of the app doesn't appear to be.. Themes etc generally were named in TC though.
It imported settings from Launcher Pro nicely, and even showed all of the apps after I set my columns to match Launcher Pro. That was a really nice touch.
It looks somewhat interesting, but I had ZERO widgets on the desktop, and it was really laggy. Jerky scrolling on the desktops, randomly really slow to respond. The app tray was designed pretty well though, letting you quickly get to a certain letter in the alphabet, and scrolled smoothly there. But the desktop experience was pretty poor IMO, I went back to Launcher Pro.
Way to laggy for me. The home screen graphics kept getting distorted and it was very slow moving. It has potential if they would just fix these couple issues.
