When I updated to Android 2.1 I immediately installed Launcher Pro and started playing arround. Didn't even have a look at the Default Home Launcher.
Now I noticed something and I wanna make sure I'm right. The new 2.1 Launcher by SE has 5 rows that you can put icons onto or am I counting wrong?
The 1.6 had 4 and for that I'm sure...
I am running a stock 2.1 rom without any 3rd party launchers, and there are 5 rows. You are correct.

Just curious, anyone out there using a different launcher outside of the stock launcher that the Dell Streak comes with? If so, anyone willing to post screenshots or just short blurb on it?
Example:
I Tried ADW Launcher on Donut 1.6
I tried LauncherPro on 2.1, though launcherpro was better with the capability of running Live Wallpapers and also being able to use it in Portrait mode on almost every page, the tiny little icons bugged me.
Hi, I updated my x10 mini to 2.1 and decided to try live wallpapers... the thing is, I select them, they are running in the background but I still only get the default (or any other image selected) wallpaper. I mean...it's like it's running in the background but just not showing up...the weird thing is that when the screen is locked it does appear...but as soon as I unlock it, it goes back to the old wallpaper.... I'm using adw launcher...
Any ideas on how to fix this?
thks
I had that problem with adw too. Try launcherpro, it rules so much ;-)

thks, problem solved with launcherpro....I had it once but didn't like it that much but this time I'm really enjoying it and it fixed the wallpaper prblm. Is there anywhere where I can get more LauncherPro icons?
Thks for the help
exactly the same for me, does anyone has a solution for this problem?
l.e.: not enough attention , sorry. Thanks for the answer .
more later edit: i installed laucher pro and still not working
try out launcher pro and icons for launcher pro : http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/icons
If I have to take a wild guess, than you are probably running the ADW from your 1.6. There's 2 version of ADW, the one for 1.6 and the one for 2.1 and above. I guess the former don't support live wallpaper. Just download the 2.1 one.
does anyone have an idea how to replace the ADWLauncher with the new one thats really awesome the spd 3d one everytime i try to load it manually and set it as default the stock adwl overwrites it and pops back up few minutes later, i even removed the ADWLauncher with root uninstall and then i had no access to settings on the phone and later on wouldnt start so i had to reflash it, if anyone could help would be nice
hrm
all i need to know is how to replace the ADWLauncher on Cyanogen 7mod on the Defy, with something else without damaging the settings and phone...
Delete adw from system/app with root explorer or freeze it with titanium backup

The truth that this is secondary, for now. All you need now is to cyanogen for all functions at 100%. I do not ask more than that, if sis isis
All I did was just install Launcher Pro Plus and it replaced ADW. Everything works smoothly now.

launcherpro is way better than ADW..
if launcherpro have grouping feature just like LG launcher,
and have change-icon feature.
it would be the best ever.
Currently in use Launcher Pro
I'm using Launcher 7 with cm7 without any problems

I'm using launcher pro since my old galaxy lite with 1.6.
Just flashed to 2.3.3 and I was hoping to use the default google home.
Does anyone knows why it's not included in CM?

CM has used ADW Launcher for ages now. It was back in CM5 (IIRC) and the general consensus from the users was that they preferred ADW over stock, and thus ADW became default.
Personally, I like ADW.
Launcher Pro the free one is better than ADW, but ADW launcher EX is better than Launcher. Personally , I like ADW more than Launcher Pro.
I use launcher pro since 2.1 stock rom and with CM7, it is just perfect for me, smooth, very easy to custom
I'm using Launcher Pro since ever.
It's the best Launcher available and it really runs smooth
I love CM7. I run it on my Droid Incredible and I wouldn't want to run any other ROM, but since I have the paid versions of both ADW and Launcher Pro I don't have any need for the free version of ADW that comes packed with CM7. I found a mod that replaces ADW with the default Gingerbread launcher, and I've found that I prefer the stock launcher over any of the replacements I've tried. It's fast, minimal, and it just works. My only problem is that launcher2 only has five home screens, and I want seven. A Google search brought me to a version of the stock launcher with seven home screens, and I was able to install it on the latest CM7 nightly, but whenever I pressed the phone icon I got an error message telling me that "this application is not installed on your phone". I tried the launcher on both OMGB and OMFGB with the same results. Is there a version of the stock Gingerbread launcher out there that I can use on CM7 that has seven home screens and a working phone shortcut?
Holo Launcher maybe?
Hi anyone who reads this, im currently wondering whats the best home launcher that people are using. i know there are alot which have ups and downs but i feel there is not one truely dominant launcher i have heard of. So, if you would like to share your experience, good or bad, of home launchers id love to hear your views
BTW its not a place just to slag off anyones hard work making a launcher ect, id just like to hear other peoples views
Thanks

ADW launcher or go launcher.
I don't like se launcher at all. The bottom bar is far too fat and it has no customizability
Mostly agreed, but i like the widget overview
it would be adw but you cant add the arc photo widget. so i think it be the se 2.3.4

If that's the one that allows you to share apps on fb, I agree! But not because of that, I don't even use that feature

launcher pro because
1) I like the scrolling calendar and facebook widgets (paid version only)
2) I like the ability to hide certain apps from the app folder
3) its very stable for me
I'm interested to see what features other launches have over it though as development on launcher pro seems to have slowed somewhat.
My faves are stock 2.3.4 and LP.
However i prefer LP for all it's themed HD icons and tweaks available.
Is there a way to theme icons for stock 2.3.4 ?
+1
I really can't live without the scrolling calendar i LPP. I've tried another scrolling calendar that worked on stock SE 2.3.4. But it was to ugly...
SE Stock have two major features I miss...
- 4x4 icons (I want 5x4)
- Can't customize shortcuts

GO launcher has a scrollable calendar i think with smooth page transitions so i liked that when i used a calendar.
Also, it has many tweaks to get it how you want, maybe an alternative to LP as it now seems that its a pretty dominant launcher
Fave Home Launcher
I've been using SPB Shell 3D for almost a year now so I would say its almost my perfect choice but I love the one from stock 2.3.4 too.
Currently, I use Launcher 7.
