Default Launchers for the Flyer

I just picked up the Wifi Flyer from Best Buy. I have never been too crazy about Sense. I use Go Launcher on my Inspire but wasn't sure if it was truly compatible for the Flyer (even though it's not running HC).

Is GO good to run on the Flyer or does anyone have any other suggestions?

All launchers work, unless specifically stated by the author.
mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make

Try launcher pro. It's really light and snappy.

Stupid question perhaps, but is it possible to have a launcher with HTC widgets? Or, perhaps a hacked sense? I'm new to the whole sense thing...

Nope...sense has custom stuff in it that the launchers outside cannot access.

Gocha. Thanks.

However, is there a Sense-like rom with better performance?

LauncherPro Plus has Twitter/Facebook/Friendstream/Calendar widgets and you can apply Sense skins on these widgets.

IMO the LauncherPro widgets works better than the Sense widgets, but I'm actually contempt with Sense on Flyer so fat.

Check VTL.Launcher.

This Launcher is designed with landscape tablets in mind! (that's not to say it doesn't also function well in portrait mode..... as it does)

First off this launcher is based on ADW.Launcher's Source code so I would like to thank anderweb for all the ground work.

Hmm, it's been a while since I've used LP. The paid version was good but it made my droid lag so I had to go to ADWpro. However, I'll give it a try on the Flyer. thanks.
