Which Launcher - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

My friend has given me his Samsung Galaxy Ace to root it and use a custom ROM, but which Launcher allows me to change the name of the app so it's easy for him to know which app is what
P.S - What's the best Chinese Handwriting app that he could use?

dude seriously isnt this the 3rd thread in which u r asking the same question ?

This is the first topic, if you've read it carefully you will see the difference

Most custom launchers allow you to change the name of an app on the home screen.
ADW Launcher (Google Play)
Holo Launcher(XDA)
are a couple of ones. (holo launcher can be laggy for some people, never lagged for me though.)

I have personally searched around a little using the search tools in both Q/A and in General, and the answer to his question has not shown up. While he should not have both posted in that thread and created his own, he is perfectly allowed to create this thread.

There is no need to shout.
Anw, what exactly happens when you press/hold on standby and from popup you select "Widgets"? I just tried nova launcher and I can add any widget..
EDIT: I'm currently not on stock ICS so some of xperia widgets aren't working. Are you on stock ICS or on custom rom?

Well, I tried with Nova and with Apex, media shortcuts, photo gallery, picture frame,status switch, track id, all work.
Timescape, weather and music widget doesn't work.
Not really sure why some widgets depend on launcher..

Moving "apps" button

Hello all.
I want to know how can i move that "apps" button on homescreen to some other place on screen. yes. Without using any launcher! I hate launchers! Dont ask why!
Please, tell me if there is a way...
Thanks in advance.
I am on Omega v12
hi there
i'm afraid you cannot do this with stock launcher.
but why not install another launcher and theme it just like the Samsung launcher?

Launcher basic, what launcher to use and how

Hi,
I am new to Android just recently switched from iOS. I thought about using a Launcher on my GS3 but I don't know which one to choose from as there are so many. Besides that, how do I disable touchwiz when I run launchers? Does disabling touchwiz disable the motion functions too? Please advise thanks!

Just use any launcher you want from play store.. Some which come to mind are.. Apex, nova, Holo, go launcher..
Install the launcher.. Press the home button.. It will prompt you to choose the launcher you want to use.. Set your preferences.. Now the tw launcher gets automatically disabled.. Launcher had nothing to do with the Sammy specific features.. They are baked into the rom or the specific applications.. So you will not loose any feature..

Try them yourself.. All of them are free on the play store.

i am using Holo HD and it is just perfect. very simple and fast. it has a lot of option for free.
You can use home button to change launcher or download a app that does the task for you and then u are able to select sure default launcher etc
Go launcher let's you customise almost everything and is pretty damn good but can be overwhelming or too much work some times for me atleast . My personal favourites are apex and nova launchers they are somewhat basic get enough customisation but also run fluidly and generally better in my experience. I'd definitely give all 3 a go and decide yourself!

Porting of the S-Planner widget for third-party launchers

Hey guys
I've been using the S-Planner widget for a while and found this to be pretty comfortable.
Since I'm on the Nova Launcher I simply can't access it now. Seems as if Samsung has built a limitation in there (?)
So my question to the developers in here is the following :
Is it possible anyhow to port this widget so we can install and use it on third-party launchers like Nova Launcher or the GO! Launcher EX?
PS: If this is the wrong section I'd like to ask a mod to move it anywhere desirable.
Thank y'all in advance

[Q] cm 11 How to get customizable grid?

In the app drawer? There aren't many launchers that have that feature. Buzz Launcher is one I can think of off the top of my head, but is focused on themes / customizeableness. Most launchers can sort different ways in the app drawer via most used, time installed, alphabetical, etc but if you want like 7 apps on this page and 20 on the next and 5 on the 3rd in the app drawer etc, your options are limited.
