Hey there, i've recently gotten myself an I9505 and managed to install CyanogenMod 10.1 which uses the Trebuchet 1.0 launcher. As i can't post in dev forum yet i will just post it here, but i've been looking to get the drawer transparancy to around 50% for a while now. As i remember on my I9300 there was an option in the drawer options from which you could simply set the transparancy yourself, but this seem to have been removed in the version i'm currently using.. Is there anyway to make this work? All i could find so far were some random codes to make it completely transparant but i'd only want it for about 50-60ish %.
Thanks for reading.

He misspelled it. It's actually called Balancer Launcher.
It's ok, I still prefer the Arc and Launcher Pro.
Thx man! just tried it out. I like it. Screenshots are also availabe on the market In order to find it easier - the correct name is "balancer launcher"

Thx looks better with the transparency now. The last one got after rotation the phone with ticked option: "customization/senzor rotation"
The most interesting part is built-in File explorer...
thanks mate.
tried it..pretty good...but i'd prefer the followong in the order mentioned..
1.Arc (stylish )
2.ADW (very custimizable)
3. Launcher Pro (smooth)
4. Balancer (maybe )

It's really nothing special.
For me, it is...
1. ADW
2. Arc
These are the two main ones.

i guess some of its just down to personal preferance, personally i think adw and launcher pro are abit old looking even with themes. i wouldnt even class arc launcher as its just a transparent app tray...android ui needs a makeover imho anyways and the balance launcher just brings something abit different to the table

i like it the built in task killer works great! but the app tray scrollin is very lagy for me
it`s very slow, for me adw launcher ex is the fastest and i have no problems with it
same here with adw launcher ex......my favorite..
Tried most, still prefer adw ex. Have to admit Go Launcher Ex is getting close though.

I see you added SetCPU for overclocking but yet in the very next line you say it has a Stock HTC Kernel. Is there something I missed, do hope there is an Over clockable Kernel, just to screw around with. Looks like a very sharp looking Rom.

is not setcpu, its called nofrillscpu and is free. the reason i added was in case someone wanted to use a custom kernel the tool was present to o/c the new kernel.

This is not working for me... it just goes back to sense... never gives me the choice.
Weird.
Any suggestions?

How can I get the cool launcher icons shown on the front page?
Thanks!
Sorry to post another whiney sounding gripe but is there anyway to get rid of the recent apps in the tray? I just long press home for the same functionality.

Just did a try with "Go Launcher EX" and "ICS Theme Go Launcher EX". The menu was white and the text wasn't visible, just the app icons.
yeah I tried it
its nice and looks like ics, but there is a problem in the labeles of the applications in the app drawer
n its slow
if u want ics theme, crack adw launcher ex and download ics theme.
Or just get Phoenix launcher. Still under development but looks great already. And the widget tab in the app drawer actually works.

you can change the app drawer between vertical and horizontal, or 4D. you can also change the background.
The Xperia Home launcher found in this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675639
I was utterly amazed when I found this launcher on here.
I extracted it using Titanium Backup, Flashed MikG 3.11, installed Xperia Home and pushed to system apps.
This works very well in unison with the Car-O-Dope tweak as the launcher is quick and smooth to begin with.
I was looking for launchers like A month ago and someone recommended sslaincher and I have fell in love with it I use to be a go launcher Guy but sslaincher is the most customizable launcher you can pretty much make your home screens anyway you want them in any which way if you can imagine it you can do it

It may be me misunderstanding. I'm thinking of using the stock launcher with a different rom,.You download the launcher just like any other app then click on ot to install it. Its on here in either the Razr M forum or the Android apps forum. I can't remember its been a while since i downloaded it.
I tried using apex and it was pretty laggy. Nova is a lot better so far but one out of maybe every 30 times I exit a app to go to the homescreen the motoblur stock launcher appears instead of nova until I go to a new screen. Kinda Annoying. Any idea how to fix?
Can I change the color of the status bar icons like the battery, signal strength and time? without root?

Well yeah nova IMO is a little smoother but apex has free gestures. And no idea about ur launcher problem never heard of that before sorry. And ugh the only way I know of to do it is metamorph which requires root. You can try super status bar. I Know it allows custom layout of items in the bar with a change of color per user preference but not sure on the icons. Try it out
