Hello All,

Please tell me how can I change the View of Menu icons.
I cannot find options to drag it from right to left.
It was from bottom to top by default.
But I saw a video on YouTube in which the user is doing it from right to left.
And also I saw him doing zoom-in in homescreen which will result in 5 screens. How can I do that?

Please suggest
Thanks in advance...

Some of the most popular launchers out there :

My personal favourite..
Really snappy UI

No horizontal paginated drawer (iphone style)

ADW Launcher
I used to like this at first..
Pros:
Best animations
Nice UI
Supports Icon packs
3D Drawer as well as horizontal paginated of different types

Cannot change app drawer background but you can set a custom color

SPB Shell 3D
I havent tried this, so cant say how good it is..
Pros
Fancy looking UI
Animations look good
...
Cons:

...

I did a review a while back on Launchers . If you want to know how they looked :) .At that time I could test only 16 out of many Launchers I have used .
Frankly it is dependent on your choice .I change Launchers Like I change my ROMs i.e twice everyday .lol .
LPP and Zeam are the snappiest Launchers
DXHome and GoLauncher are one the most beautiful ones .

War of Launchers : Part I All about Samsung Galaxy 551 and more

go launcher is smooth initially but it starts lagging later. Try launcher pro with sense theme pack. It transforms the phone completely in to a new look and dosent lag too. Currently im on leandros using balancer. So far good. no lags with 48 apps installed. its light on the system. But reloads itself if some heavy apps are running.:p:p
