does anyone have an idea how to replace the ADWLauncher with the new one thats really awesome the spd 3d one everytime i try to load it manually and set it as default the stock adwl overwrites it and pops back up few minutes later, i even removed the ADWLauncher with root uninstall and then i had no access to settings on the phone and later on wouldnt start so i had to reflash it, if anyone could help would be nice
hrm
all i need to know is how to replace the ADWLauncher on Cyanogen 7mod on the Defy, with something else without damaging the settings and phone...
Delete adw from system/app with root explorer or freeze it with titanium backup

The truth that this is secondary, for now. All you need now is to cyanogen for all functions at 100%. I do not ask more than that, if sis isis
All I did was just install Launcher Pro Plus and it replaced ADW. Everything works smoothly now.

launcherpro is way better than ADW..
if launcherpro have grouping feature just like LG launcher,
and have change-icon feature.
it would be the best ever.
Currently in use Launcher Pro
I'm using Launcher 7 with cm7 without any problems
greetings
I'm using launcher pro since my old galaxy lite with 1.6.
Just flashed to 2.3.3 and I was hoping to use the default google home.
Does anyone knows why it's not included in CM?

CM has used ADW Launcher for ages now. It was back in CM5 (IIRC) and the general consensus from the users was that they preferred ADW over stock, and thus ADW became default.
Personally, I like ADW.
Launcher Pro the free one is better than ADW, but ADW launcher EX is better than Launcher. Personally , I like ADW more than Launcher Pro.
I use launcher pro since 2.1 stock rom and with CM7, it is just perfect for me, smooth, very easy to custom
I'm using Launcher Pro since ever.
It's the best Launcher available and it really runs smooth
I love CM7. I run it on my Droid Incredible and I wouldn't want to run any other ROM, but since I have the paid versions of both ADW and Launcher Pro I don't have any need for the free version of ADW that comes packed with CM7. I found a mod that replaces ADW with the default Gingerbread launcher, and I've found that I prefer the stock launcher over any of the replacements I've tried. It's fast, minimal, and it just works. My only problem is that launcher2 only has five home screens, and I want seven. A Google search brought me to a version of the stock launcher with seven home screens, and I was able to install it on the latest CM7 nightly, but whenever I pressed the phone icon I got an error message telling me that "this application is not installed on your phone". I tried the launcher on both OMGB and OMFGB with the same results. Is there a version of the stock Gingerbread launcher out there that I can use on CM7 that has seven home screens and a working phone shortcut?
Holo Launcher maybe?
Getting ready to pick up my new SGS3 in the next week or so - I'm pretty excited. One thing I'm wondering about: has anybody installed a different launcher instead of TW? I'm pretty fond of Nova Launcher and would like to keep using it instead, but don't know if there are any weird issues with trying to use it.
If nobody knows, I'll just post back after trying.
I already installed it and it's working perfect.

+1 - tried Apex this time first, and while I like the homescreen features, it won't do folders in the app drawer, which I love on Nova. I copied the backup of my Nova settings from my GSII to the backup location and restored it, and only had to tweak a couple things.
I've been using Apex launcher, works great.
FYI Go Launcher is working fine on mine.
APEX!
Go launcher +1

Nova Launcher has always performed the best for me.
nova
Nova works flawless, apex good but its noticeably slower
Cool, thanks for the info. I ordered mine from AT&T last night, so it should show up sometime in September.
once you install these launchers, can you go back to TW?

Yes. Downloading Home Switcher makes it easier.
I've already tried Launcher Pro, Zeam Launcher, Nova Launcher, and Apex Launcher. They all work great. Though, I think I like the features in Apex the best. I'm sticking with that for the time being.
This reminds me of a question I had:
In the TW launcher you can use that big weather widget, but when you run a different lauancher from the market, that widget is not available. Does anyone know how to get that one to show up in a third party launcher?

Yeah, as much as I wanted to use TW, apex blows it away performance wise. The weather widget seems to be specific to TW. Its cool and all but I paid for beautiful widgets years ago and that one is just as good

I got Fancy Widgets for free a long time ago form the Amazon App Store. I'm using it instead. The onlything the TW weather widget has going for it is looks. I was just curious.
By the way: I ran across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604570
It's a vote for Apex or Nova

Apex and Nova do pretty much identical things. Nova just seems to be less problem free for me. No lags, shutters or slow downs. Can't say the same for Apex.

I haven't had any performance issues, but then again I've only had my phone for a couple days. I know from a different thread you've had yours for a while now. I like Apex because it seems to have more features in the free version than Nova does.

Probably so. I have the paid versions of both.
Nova launcher is based on the original ICS launcher source, as is the Trebuchet launcher included by default in CyanogenMod9. Development on Trebuchet has slowed to a standstill these past few months, though, so I'll probably be using Nova next (which has more features anyway), as I'm used to it being most similar to the vanilla ICS launcher.
+1 for nova, although I'm using the stock TW now

I thought maybe we could all get on one page with launchers that work on rooted kindle fire hd. These work fine with no problems:
ADW ex
Nova launcher prime
Go launcher hd
FTL launcher pro
I also downloaded windows seven pro, it does work but it is a bit laggy and needs tweaking. (Yes I know, but I just couldn't help myself, wanted to try anyways)
Note to moderator: if you do not see a need for this thread, please delete.
Apex Launcher
thanks! which launcher would you suggest? are there any you can just download off play without further ado?
No all have to be moved to system apps and modified, (see go launcher thread)
I really like Nova and go launcher hd.
I've tried 4 different launchers:
Nova Launcher 1.21- worked after installing, would not start on reboot
Go Launcher HD- works, but the background image doesn't size right/shifts every time you rotate the screen
Apex Launcher 1.3- would not install
Nova Launcher Prime 1.0.1- works, no hide dock feature
Nova Launcher Prime 1.2- works well, slow to start, most features functional
the best way to figure out if a launcher will work is to download it, move it to system/apps, change permissions to rw--r---r---, DON'T INSTALL IT, reboot your kindle, and it should prompt you you when it starts to choose a launcher

Apex launcher works very well for me. Lots of controls - if you use 'em. Mostly, it just looks clean, and the maker took some pains to make sure that it worked well.
"Ice Cream Sandwich 2.4" - does not require root.

Mine worked perfectly fine once I got it moved to /system/app.
Whenever I rotate my Kindle to landspace while using Nova or Apex, it gets extremely laggy. Does anyone else have this problem?
Go Launcher HD
I can confirm that this works.
Have to be rooted, and side load it using Root Browser, by copying it to /system/app
Didn't even have to restart it, hit the Home button and asked me which launcher I wanted to use.
GOOD BYE AMAZON GARBAGE LAUNCHER

Hi XDA,
Im using Nexus 6 5.1.1 rooted with xposed, i have unicon installed which is great. But i remember long time ago i had the option to choose icon for each and every app which now is gone from the app for some reason.
I'm looking for a way to change the icon such as unicon does, change the icon from the system itselft. Im using Google now launcher and i dont want to switch it to Nova or any other launchers out there.
Tried Xposed GEL settings but i cant to get any icon change with it.
Do you know any other programs i can try?
Try Nova.

Too much trouble to read the OP?
@torecdude I don't believe you have options though. Unicon hasn't been updated in almost 2 years and doesn't have support for the newest Xposed Frameworks. The Pro version of the Xposed GEL settings supports icon packs, but not individually and not system wide, just for the launcher itself. Besides a 3rd party launcher, you're stuck with all or nothing solutions per individual basis. I don't understand the reluntance to a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex though. What does the stock launcher offer that they do not?

I Did notice Unicon Beta is expanding so maybe finally it will get updated. Anyways, ill might try Nova sometimes, im just very pleased with Now launcher because im a stock freak with my nexus 6. But if there's no other way to change icons per app perhaps ill try Nova some day.
