Apex launcher is the only one I use when trying out ICS roms. It is ICS only. Free in market. Very smooth for me with alot of options.

FAQ-tastic!

 

Nova or Apex because they are ICS specific.

 

Nova launcher is definitely my favorite ICS launcher. I even considered buying the prime version. And I usually don't buy paid apps.

 

i'm planning to give the sense launcher a try before deciding. Currently I use GO Launcher on my Evo 3D.

 

I didn't see a thread so I thought I'd get some opinions about alternate launchers for the LTEvo. Having had a Transform before and finding few that worked well without rooting I hadn't played with any before but have been playing around with Nova Launcher. Not too sure about it yet but am giving it a go for a while to be fair. Adjustable grid and spacing for home screen icons is nice, hated the wasted space between icons and widgets. Hidden apps are now available ie Mirror, Tune-In (any idea why not in sense?) It also seems faster and smoother both loading and animations, and like the smooth scrolling rather than pagination of the app drawer in Sense. However, I am confused about one thing, I have changed the dock to different things in Nova over Sense but in the lock screen it's the same 4 icons from Sense. Any ideas from the ICS/Android experts out there? And I can't run the Weather widget (sense only widget?), no big loss but just an FYI if you really like it.

 

1) Yes, Lockscreen is tied to Sense, so if you want to change those, go back to Sense (App: Home Switcher) and change there.

2) Yes, the clock widget is Sense only.

3) In addition to Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher is a decent one with similar features to Nova

 

I'm giving Nova a try. Pretty cool so far.

 

Apex Pro or Nova Prime - that's it. Forget about the rest.

 

I need this phone already...so I can have some fun with these launchers.

 

This.

I've bought both, and prefer Apex for the way the icons are spaced, but Nova is nice for its speed adjustment options.

 

I'm trying Apex currently.

 

I am holding out hope for LPP. Fede will respond if you have an issue on Twitter. But his forum is hit or miss for info regarding the future.

LPP started to become a memory hog in the last 8 months. Had to clear data monthly on the OG EVO. So until an update is given I wont transfer it over.

 

I hope Circle Launcher comes out with an ICS version before I move to the LTEvo.

 

My OG Evo was great!!!!! I could load and run launcher pro with no problems. The LTE is causing crashes on launcher pro and ICS seems to have lost the ability to get apps closer together and larger. Can you change the array/column spacing on this phone?

 

If you want a new homescreen/launcher you'll want to look at Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher; that should do it.

 

Nova Launcher recently updated and now the grid size can also be changed in the app drawer. Nova runs smoother on my phone compared to Apex, which would lag and reload.

 

First, a belated Merry Christmas to ALL! I'm in need of a widget; here's the scoop:

Obviously I've got the Evo 4G LTE with the Jelly Bean uprade (which is working flawlessly for me) - but instead of running HTC Sense, I'm running Go! Launcher...which I LOVE! Problem is, I like the scrollable People Widget that comes with Sense which doesn't work with Launcher - unless there's a work-around that I don't know about.

So...I need to either (a) find a way to locate, download, and run HTC's People Widget with Go! Launcher, or (b) find another app/widget like the People Widget that'll work with Launcher and give me the same desired effect: A scrollable single column of my most frequently called and texted Contacts.

Any ideas? Suggestions? Work-Arounds? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

 

I don't know of a widget, but what I do is set up a shortcut folder for direct dial, and put it in my dock.

 

HTC widgets only run with their launcher, you'll need to look for alternatives.
