Have decided to do a small tutorial on adding folder shortcuts to the excellent Launcher 7 home screen replacement by Timo Kujala.
I have used Desktop VisualizeR to create the shortcut icons and Apps Organizer for the pop-ups but any suitable shortcut app will do.
First of all download and install your shortcut app then set up your folder shortcuts.
Next create the folder widget in Desktop VisualizeR on the home screen: menu > Add widget > Desktop VisualizeR > 1x1 Small (for square icons) then choose the tile properties and Create tile.
Finally click on the resulting widget, choose your icon and using Select Action > Other > 'shortcut app' select shortcut. Define other properties and OK.
Done.
Edit
Been having a look at it and it seems that between them Launcher 7 and Desktop VisualizeR don't really handle the use of 2x1 icons for widgets that well.
The trick is to do it as previously explained but when you get to choosing the widget layout in DV.. choose 4x4. In L7 then choose 2x1 tile size, whatever background but for the next option make sure you leave Full-tile widget unticked and then Create tile.
You then have to resize your 2x1 icon, size don't seem to be too important but for whatever your 2x1 size is you need to square it off. For example if you're using a 230x120 image you need to resize it to 230x230 (i would save it to .png format just to be on the safe side). If it doesn't come out right then just play around with the original icon size
For resizing on Windows platform i use BIMP Lite which works really well for me.
The other steps would be the same as before and this method is obviously only for an horizontal tile.
Launcher Shortcuts
To link to other launchers from Launcher 7 try this:
Install Desktop VisualizeR -> Go to L7 and Add Widget. Choose DV and add widget for icon as per the above.
Go to L7 desktop and click on the resulting widget, click on Select Icon and choose icon image.
To link to alternative launcher click on Select Action -> Other -> Activities and that will give you a list of all the apps on your phone.
Scroll to your chosen launcher and click on it, this will show you a drop-down list of all the activities for that app. the link you need is usually the first one and in the case of Launcher Pro is 'com.fede.launcher.Launcher' select that.
This will take you back to DV where you can choose whether you want an icon label or not and so on... ok this and you will go back to L7 home screen. If the widget image is not displayed then you just need to refresh the home screen.
Hope this helps.
Update:
Live folders now added to Donate version of app from market. Please support the dev and further development.
HTC Legend Rooted & S-Off, CyanogenMod V7.0 (Gingerbread), 150 LCD Density.

Are you using Desktop VisualizeR to create the widget's icon (1x1 Small)? What is the icon source you're using? and are you enabling the tick for 'Full-tile widget'. You also need to be creating a widget rather than long pressing the icon in the app drawer.
If you're doing all that and still not working then let me know exactly what you're doing and what apps you're using and i'll try to help further.
Thanks and hope that helps.

Great idea .. thanks for sharing

The only thing i can think of is you just need to refresh the home screen.. that issue should be fixed in the new update of Launcher 7 (1.0.0.81). If it's not that that then i'm stumped cos you can't create the widget without defining the image and action.
Let me know if there's any change.
i'll wait for the update before i jump in...
Hi to all,
anyone knows how to edit existing folder with apps? I have created one folder with apps, and now i can only add this one folder to the tile (main screen). I cant seem to edit which apps are inside the folder neither i can delete this folder. When i choose "Add special tile-> Folder tile" i can just choose this one folder i have created. Help!
What you need is Menu -> Launcher7 settings and swipe across to the Folders tab. From there you can add a new folder or edit an existing folder by clicking on it. Hope that's what you're looking for
What you need is Menu -> Launcher7 settings and swipe across to the Folders tab. From there you can add a new folder or edit an existing folder by clicking on it (long press to remove). Hope that's what you're looking for

Lightning Launcher
Description and features
Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, Lightning Launcher is on steroïds.
Lightning Launcher: Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, this launcher is on steroïds.
Tips, please read this first:
Use "LLW App Widget" if you want to add Android widgets.
This app is started through the HOME key and not from your app drawer since LL is itself a launcher. If you cannot select it through the HOME key then you need to clear the defaults for your current launcher.
for any question or suggestion, do not hesitate to ask: [email protected]
This application has been designed to minimize memory usage and be fast: the more memory you have for your applications, the faster they will run. In other words Lightning Launcher has been built from the ground to preserve your phone's resources and keep it smooth.
In spite of its ridiculously small size (less than 60kb!), Lightning Launcher is packed with a fair amount of features and brings to Android a very unique concept: the home screen can be seen as a giant surface on which you are free to put icons, shortcuts or widgets exactly where YOU WANT, and not limited to a 4x4 grid. Pinch to zoom in or out the desktop, use the home key to switch between a full scale view or the normal size, or double tap on empty space as in the web browser to immediately see all your icons. And everything stay functional whatever the zoom level is: widgets are alive, icons can be clicked, and so on.
Lightning Launcher drops rarely used features and focuses on useful ones but comes nevertheless with numerous customization options. Icons and widgets can be moved, scaled and even rotated freely. Each object can be configured independently, you can change the font, the label, the icon and much more !
The package is extremely small, only a few kilobytes. What it means is that the Android system do not need to load several megabytes to run this app. Lightning Launcher starts faster and run in perfect harmony with your other apps.
For people kindly asking why the CALL_PHONE permission is needed (notice that this the only one needed by LL!): this is needed for direct call shortcuts, and this permission is included in all major launchers, including Go and Pro.
For other people not asking why and putting stupid one star comments: go away, you have just lost a unique chance to try something new and better, have a good day.

FTL Launcher Pro
Description and features
Make no mistake, this is the fastest launcher you'll ever run. Small, light, configurable. The Gingerbread launcher as it should have been. No useless stuff, no compromises. Performance and usability are the driving forces here.
On version 3.0 Pro users have a all new game to play now: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming. You can even mix Dock and Icon themes from different launchers. Google Play is yours for the take.
And of course you still have the other extras: configurable homsecreen grid from 4x4 to 6x6, resizeable widgets, and, never seen in any launcher: control over core Android window animation speed.
Important: FTL supports all resolutions and ICS, but only 800x480, 854x480, 960x540 and 480x320 devices have 3D drawer enabled! Also ICS has no 3D drawer because it does not contain the "old" opengl interface. But as it is natively accelerated anyway, 2D drawer should be very fast.
Features:
Theming support: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming.
Tweaked for extreme speed and smoothness
Fully accelerated 3D Waterfall app drawer
Option to use "normal" 2D app drawer
Configurable support for resizeable widgets: only when adding them to the homescreen, you cannot edit them later.
Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows, and 4 to 6 columns
Configurable number of homescreens: from 1 to 9 with configurable default homescreen
Choice between 3 and 5 icon Dock
Configurable Dock icons size
Configurable "swipe down" and "swipe down" independently to any of the following:
Includes anim speed: precise control over core Android windows/transition animation speed
Configurable Support for launcher auto-rotation
Configurable Infinite looping of homescreens
Configurable support for scrollable widgets
Configurable bounce effect on homescreen transitions
Configurable wallpaper scrolling
Configurable transition speed of homescreens

EDIT: If you are using Paranoid Android rom you can purchase this launcher and using it on your phone. Any other roms it will not work. You can try AOKP rom which gives you the tablet mode feature but have not tried to see if it works

will do my friend. thank you.
Thanks for putting this useful thread together...
More launchers and lockscreens coming soon. Got few days off next week will be updating this thread guys with more launchers and lockscreens...with regarding lockscreens will give the links to the themes for GoLocker and the same with Widgetlocker.
Plus i still can not believe how many launchers are out there
New Lockscreen (with a twist) added to post 3. Video included to give you guys better explanation of what i am talking about.
Hope you guys like the twist in that lockscreen and hit the thanks as well if you want.
This has gone straight to my subscribed threads
Great thread and I hope it keeps getting updated as such. Good work
P.S. You should add Holo Launcher and Regina Launcher on here.
I was using Regina for quite a while before and it's a solid launcher but not as much customization as I'd like. And I'm currently using Holo but have only just started using it, so I haven't covered all aspects of it yet, but it does look and feel great

What about WP7 Lock lite? it's simple but has an awesome bounce effect just like in windows phone 7.
Also does anyone know how go locker goes on your battery?

Not being funny mate can you remove your link. Cause I am doing for a bit of lockscreens and launchers. And if mods wanted to remove it they would of done. I just hate when people do this and advertise threads of others in a different thread.
