Best Android Launcher for Axon M or Dual Screen Phones - ZTE Axon M Questions & Answers

Can anyone advise on the best launcher choice for dual-screen phones?

i had to search a while before i found a launcher that i felt worked well enough to use, because the stock one is pretty bad. Launcher 10 is kind of a metro UI launcher which might not be to some people's fancy but it scales instantly when switching modes and rotating and it has a lot of customization i haven't messed with. definitely more usable than the stock launcher

Just wanted to add that for the ZTE AM Z999 I am using the Microsoft Launcher Beta version which supports proper home screen rotation for dual screen in conjunction with Rotation Control app

Default Froyo Icons for LauncherPro

LauncherPro allows you to use custom icons for the dock.
The default ones are okay:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But the default Froyo icons look so much cleaner, less chunky, etc:
Anyone have separate icons I could use? Tinted like they are in the picture?
The froyo looks like adw launcher...gives you different options than launcher pro.. I personally go back and forth between the two.
Is ADW still missing the 3D launcher? I don't really use too many of the extra features of either launcher. Never understood needing multiple docks and all that when we can go up to 7 homescreens. I have mine set up pretty much just like stock Froyo, with Leap enabled.

I dont like the right Lockscreen.
Iam looking for the CustomLockscreen from Bandit in the Android-Hilfe Forum.
I like to have it in FroyoMOD.
Search on Market that will have some third party LockScreen app.
But most of them will apply the custom LockScreen on top of Stock LockScreen.
So you will have 2 LockScreen there that may confusing you.
You have to deactivate the Stock LockScreen to avoid "DOUBLE" LockScreen that might give you annoying Repeatant to unlock, especially when call coming.
Gotta agree that Froyo's lock screen looks way better than Eclair too...

[HOWTO] 2.3.7 Transparent Status Bar with Scrolling Wallpaper via UOT Kitchen

A placeholder for now, and tested only by yours truly (NSCollab Sprint 1.0.60, ADW EX Launcher) but it's very easy and will allow you to keep your scrolling wallpaper. I'll update this after work.
Edit: LauncherPro is a no-go, bro. I'll monkey around inside the apk and see if I can't get to the bottom of this long-standing issue because frankly I love the hell out of this launcher.
Edit: Zeam runs just fine. With scrolling wallpaper, even.
Here's a screenshot in the meantime (NSCollab 1.0.60, ADW EX):

Question Dual Apps - Rename Icons?

I have an Xiaomi Mi 11 running Mui V12.5.1.0.RKBEUXM
I have enabled Dual apps, and successfully setup two Amazon icons for logging in to two different Amazon accounts (and they work!)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Trouble is, both of the icons look almost identical, and are both labelled "Amazon Shopping"
Is there any way I can give these Dual App icons a more meaningful name?
eg. My Amazon, Wife's Amazon ?
This isn't that possible, since MIUI directly use work profile that implemented in Android L
.
Thanks for the explanation !
With Nova Launcher (and probably with lots of other custom launchers too) you can use custom labels per app.

Question Giant Startscreen Icons

My aunt bought her M32 last week. I did some debloating and apps migration for her and everything's fine so far. Only the startpage icons are SO TERRIBLY BIG. The grid is 3x5 and can obviously not be changed.
Is the M32 mainly targeted to elderly or visually impaired users?
best regards,
Philandroid

Meanwhile I've seen images of other Samsung Galaxy M32 Phones with normal looking desktops. Could it be I damaged something by de-activating an essential stock funktionality?

Today I eventually installed the Nova Launcher. I knew it from a couple of Lineage installations i've made. It comes with configurable app grids. So verything's fine now. At least for the moment...
Thanks for your patience
Phil
