Root 360 Launcher

So I've been a die hard Holo Launcher user for the past 5-6 months. It owned everything in else IMO. While I liked ADW with the 4.0 theme, I'd rather have just a launcher without having to download more.

Well before Holo i was hardcore about 360. I havent used it since I switched, not even trying it. I just forgot about it.

Point being. 360 has stepped their game up even more. What was once a great launcher and become an amazing launcher. I suggest everyone try it just to see. Get it from market.

Just as smooth as ADW but it has so many options to work with and usability is flawless. It has become my new bad ass launcher. Never thought that would happen but it has. Im currently using the 4.0 theme but there is plenty to choose from. Just give it a shot, worst that can happen is you uninstall it.

And it has its own screen lock you can download with different themes. :D

Awesome ui graphics but seems quite a bit slow compared to adw ex

Really? I went to 800ish on the cpu and tried both and 360 slams it on my phone. Not even in the same ball park. ADW is smooth no doubt but 360's different graphics for changing screens is flawless. Even down to 500ish on the cpu and its still smooth as if nothing had changed. Most launchers start choking around 700-800.
 
Very customisable, and lots of features. It's quick and responsive on my Esteem... but I uninstalled it after only one day of use... I just don't have the time or patience to learn Mandarin Chinese. lol

That's my only fault with it... I don't understand why the engrish version on the market isn't in all-engrish. :confused:

Agreed.
Loved the look and feel of the launcher since day
I just can't get past the Chinese.

After purshasing ADWEX I try, but I can't use another launcher.
 
None of the features i use have the Chinese language so i don't see it. doesn't bother me.

There's no Chinese on your main lock screen???

Still using stock lock.

But honestly the one thing that's bugging me the most is something dumb. It's that the bottom row on the home screen is to far above the dock and it looks funny. Even after changing it to 5x4 it still looks dumb. I like having 5 rows and 4 columns but the rows should be spaced all the way to the top and bottom.

Going back to adw with ics theme.
 
Unless if things just changed, downloading from xda is modded/better version?

And be careful getting accompanying battery guard widget...the free version doesn't seem to allow reverting from disabled or downgraded data speed setting...I had to factory reset to recover lte.
 
The reason i only use 360 or Holo is because they allow folders in the dock bar, has this changed with ADW?

If you long press the home screen then select folder once it's on your desktop long press select edit then click the pic and you can change the folder to whatever you want so it's not a blue folder then when you put it on the dock it'll display the image you chose ;)
 
for those of you saying it is smooth and stuff, you should edit the loopy smoothness script (if you have it in the init.d folder) to point to your home launcher of choice. I trust that most if not all roms should have this simple script. I know by editing the script, I was able to make even regina launcher 3d run buttery smooth. I prefer xperia launcher myself or the modded touch wiz found in the beast candy theme. I like 360 but can't stand the not english wording.

Holo started lagging. First time ever. Don't know why. Adw is always a solid launcher so I'm rolling with it right now.

have you updated the loopy smoothness script, if you have it, to point to your launcher of choice? That might fix holo or make 360 'ky jelly', buttery smooth. :D
