launcher 360 and sslauncher both really nice

here is the latest 360launcher and sslauncher apps. 360launcher is modded in english (not by me) and it has to be the fastest launcher (most beautifull too) i have ever used. It allows folders even inside app drawer, automatically puts your media in tabs inside app drawer etc. It haz a memory optimizer that really works and an auto power manager with 2 profiles (more options available if you upgrade the power saver for free from within the app). Overall it is bugless other than that the built in weather widget (which is really nice) recognises only chinese cities. sslauncher on the other hand makes your phone look like a magazine cover which is really cool. it has many pages on the main screen with the main page (or more if user specifies) being like a cover with highly customisable styles and the rest being pages with apps contacts(no screenshot for obvious reasons) internet favourites and so on. Both apps are free and some screenshots included. Enjoy.
edit:first 4 pics are launcher360. Rest are sslauncher some greek on it but i forgot o change language
edit2: launcher 360 includes a themechooser app with 30ish themes to download plus an unlocker app with really cool unlock styles (got to see tetris unlock screen)

I used 360 since it's pre-release and it's light and fast, but a bit laggy on drawer. Fewer options than Go Launcher but the stack transition animation make you feel like MIUI Now 1.5.1 is much smoother.
you can find custom themes by xda members right here:

Well in actual MIUI there is no app drawer so the icons are all over your screen as well....

I know, i use miui 1.12 on N1 and also NS MIUI 4 before i switched it to AOSP+ ICS since there is not much themes yet for ics version.
Also make miui themes are a lot easier than CM. Mtz doesn't require signing or compiling. Just zip your file

[Q] ICS launchers

I'm currently running THS build 15, and I absolutely love it. The only thing preventing this ROM from being pretty much complete in my books (other than some of the 'placeholder' settings) is the fact that the Trebuchet launcher doesn't allow hiding of apps in the app drawer. I hate clutter, especially since I don't use 90% of the 2 pages of apps that come with it by default.
I love the ICS theme and the ICS drawer, but are there any ICS launchers that are similar but allow hiding of apps in the app drawer?

you could try go launcher with ics theme

So I do, works perfect for me. Go Launcher is the best one atm imho

The only one I could find is go launcher but its laggy on ICS rocket rom 1.5? Any suggestions?.... Thanks... Envy

Go to the market and give Go Launcher Ex a try. Best Launcher out there IMO and it is free.
Folders in App drawer, on home screens and in quick launch area as well.

Have you found any other launchers that can do this except go launcher ex? To bad you cant hide the drawer when using it on tablets.

Try SSLauncher, folders were just added, they're called parcels.

Not compatible with my transformer prime according to google play. Tried it on my galaxy 2 but like go launcher ex better on the phone. no other alternatives for tablets?

Could you tell me how to create a folder in the drawer? Desktop is easy.

would be interested in this too using Apex on my phone.

Install Trebuchet on Galaxy S5

Here's how to install Trebuchet.

Trebuchet sucks. Why not use any of the 4739682539592 other launchers from Play Store that look the same and have MANY more customization options?

Well tree bucket does not have ads built as far as I know unlike launchers from the play store

Nova launcher.. I don't see what all the fuss it?

So I'm trying nova launcher instead of Touchwiz. I honestly do not see what the fuss is. The only thing I like is the ability to move the app drawer button to the center of the dock. After that, I see no speed difference or awesome features.
I know most people seem to like it, but I just dont see it. Am I missing something?

LOTS of customizations.
Resizing of all third party apps
Resizing of the desktop and drawer
Font customization
Lollipop animations
Custom Google search widget
Custom animation speed
Forced landscape mode
And many more. ..

there is no questions any custom launcher bring added functionality. I personally can't live without a 5x5 grid, badge notification on almost any app and a vertical scroll drawer. The lollipop animations are also pretty cool

You my friend must be using a different version then all of us. So many features. Blows tw away by miles.

Are you joking? You must be joking

So there is a bit of a learning curve to using a launcher if you are new to them. For Nova I would focus on the items I starred in the screen shots below. Play around with it. You will see the benefits, trust us.

That's awesome that you did that.

My personal favorite is assigning Shortcuts to App Icon swipe up. (Direct Dial Wife on swipe up of Phone Icon)

Changing icons individually or as a pack, multiple docks, transition effects, size of icons can be changed, swipe action for individual icons, folders can be changed, several add ons suchs as unread counts, now comes the final question - did you use the pay or the free version. A lot of the really cool stuff is only available in a paid version and trust me it is lightning fast compared to touchwiz.

I'm using nova prime. I'm still learning, this is the first time I've ever used anything other than what was baked into whatever Rom I was using. My last phone was the s3 and Darth stalker had the Xperia launcher I think... I've been using touchwiz was the last month, I just didn't like the menu (app draw) key on the right side.

Nova restore option is anoother HUGE plus
I love the back-up restore option with Nova prime that I can use to quickly restore all my short cuts and widgets. Even between devices. I would use for this alone.

OP you may want to try "Go Launcher EX" its more user friendly in my opinion. I love it because the them options and whatnot with it are endless.

I seriously love Nova launcher it's always been my go to and I've tried quite a few. I wish it was possible to pin action memos as a widget though. It's not enough to get me to stop using Nova, but damn that would be perfect if it was possible.
