Help Go Launcher question...

[skiflyer]

Just installed Go Launcher as I was running out of room for everything I wanted with the stock launcher.

So far so good, but there's one aspect of the stock launcher I liked better - to see where you are in the homescreen list it just moved the blue icon on the bar just above the doc. Any one know if there's a way to move the indicator in Go Launcher from the top of the screen to the bottom and look like it does in the stock launcher? I've done some googling but I think my lack of knowing the terminology is keeping me from finding it.

Thanks.

try nova launcher apk

Same feel/look as stock but more options.

Yeah Nova Launcher looks to be more what I was looking for... getting frustrated trying too make it a system app, something isn't going right. Grrr...

Are you rooted? You can't make it a system app without root. If you are, you can always try some custom ROMs. AOKP includes Nova as a system app in their ROM.

Rooted yes, willing to custom rom, no.

After reading more about what making it a system app gives me (widgets in the app drawer), I've given up caring. The Gingerbread widget system is actually a preference for me.

Anyway, loving Nova Launcher so far, thanks for the tip.

I have both and do not see that one is superior over the other. I actually prefer GO - but mostly because I had it first. I've never wanted the screen position indicator so that would not be an issue for me - I leave it at the top anyway.

What I DO NOT like about NOVA is that it takes away the 3-dots (normally located next to the multi-task button). The button that takes you into the system options menu. Is there a way to bring that back? I know you can open the systems "app" but thats not convenient.
