Hi all,
I just want to ask what the difference between adw and launcherpro? Do one of these affect the speed of any rom or slow down?
Just try both.. and see which one suits you.
I prefer launcher pro plus (paid version). But at the moment the developer is doing a full re-write of the code making it much more efficient and andding a ton of features. Expected release date is Jan 2011
Thanks for your reply. I also prefer launcher pro but unpaid one by the way what's the advanced of paid one? I may get it
It has a few cool features... you can now have pop ups for missed calls, new SMS messages, browser bookmarks, and recently used apps. U just flick the dock icon upwards and u get a pop-up like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You also get the additional launcher pro widgets, friend wiget, people widget, calendar widget etc etc. For example:
The best thing is the ability to resize any of your homesreen widgets!
The new re-write is supposed to bring a host of new features and smoother running launcher. The price of Launcher pro plus may increase by that time.. so now is the time to get it But its upto you, the free Launcher Pro is amazing too

Thanks dude,
Great information for me so right choice about using launcher pro
LauncherPro isn't available for Android 1.6 (Donut) and older. If you buy Premium LauncherPro you will have HTC Sense like widgets (Contacts etc.). But I think ADW.Launcher is faster.
wow thank you i didn't know that...so i think it's more useful and can be easier modified for me...thanks
heres a cool theme for the ADW

Hi, im looking for the default android 2.2 launcher, but with the " move item" function in the app drawer (like in the lg launcher). ( want to arrange icons the way i want it and not alphabetically).

maybe the optimus v launcher? it looks like froyo.
please help
use Zeam launcher ! you will find it on market
Launcher Pro brings you the Froyo-style and is highly configurable.
zeam launcher does not have the froyo styled dock. also not re-arrange shortcuts in menu.
i have launcher pro. i like it but i cannot re-arrange the shortcuts like in the lg launcher.
Any other launcher that might work?

Of course you can, just delete all shortcuts and put them in the order that you want.

no you can't i tried and have been using it for months, the only launcher i found was the go launcher. but it does not look like froyo
Go Launcher has the "arrange in the order you want", but the app drawer doesn't look like the one Froyo comes with (which is not really a bad thing).
Check it out.

Ok, and how you are move/manage it?
Okay, I now have 2.2 thanks to one dedicated employee in the mobile phone area at Best Buy.
We downloaded the official 2.2 for AT&T, renamed it, put it on the SD card and ran the recovery so it overwrote 1.6. Which turns out is exactly what some of the threads here described, I just didn't want to do it myself and risk losing the phone.
Love having Flash and I'm sure I'll find other stuff I like, but I have to admit that I detest the main screen and how it works.
Can anybody suggest a good alternative?
How do I at least lose the "Social" page?
Edit: sorry about not marking as a question. I posted then remembered.
do you mean dell stage if so just get home switcher for froyo and try adw launcher, launcher pro, go launcher, launcher 7 they can all be found in the market then customize and pick the one you like best i use adw and launcher pro

I installed Launcher Pro and love it. Very customizable . Give it a try. Theres a free version in the Android App catalog
I believe that the 'social page' is a stage widget. Press and hold and then drag it to the trashcan that appears.
As others have said there are alternative launchers. I like LauncherPro and another is ADW Launcher. Go Launcher is becoming popular.
One of the best things I like about a replacement launcher (at least some of them) is that you can make better use of the screen size on the Streak, I have my icon grid set to 6x6. The agenda widget in the screenshot below is a 4x4 widget that would fill the entire home screen on a smaller phone.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's Android Agenda Widget (paid version) BTW.
Edit: Once you are sure that you aren't going to use Stage delete all of the widgets from the screens there. You can DL home switcher for froyo to easily switch between home apps. Here is some info on setting default apps if you don't want to use a home switcher.

Hi all,
I have found the MIUI style launcher , translated from Chinese to English,
tested it on HTC wildfire and it works perfect, tested on CM 7.0.3

Does it come with icon pack or?

yeah it comes with an icon pack, but the launcher sucks, it is smooth and all but icons are all over each other lol, its just messy, i tried changing the dpi from 120 to 110 to maybe make it better, nah the app just force closes, so, app looks like crap. its nice if you got a bigger resolution screen tho.
don't change the main theme and it will fit for wildfire screen
or look for themes with square icons.
other themes ( with round icons) icons go over each other.
Anyone else using the default ADW Launcher in CM7 6.5.8, do you notice pixelation of icons in your app drawer? I only noticed this yesterday, not sure whether if it's been so since the beginning. I've gone through the ADW settings but none of the option seem related to this. See below the comparison between icons in ADW (left) and Zeam (right).

That only happens in the app drawer. If I drag it to the homescreen the shortcut icon will be smooth.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

For me the market is pixelated too ...

Same ROM and kernel?
My market looks alright, but I'll try GO and other launchers later...
Nope. It's andy's Phoenix with franco 02.10.2011. But the problem occured when i wanted to change some themes in CM. I flashed andy's rom, but the problem still there !
Can you try Zeam? Though if it's Andy's, you might as well wait a few hours to see if flashing the bugfix update helps or not.
Here is another person with the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18549580&postcount=1827
Bundled ADW = pixelated
Market ADW = fine
Still no solution so far. I could just set market ADW as my default and freeze the bundled... but it just feels like a waste of space.
Hi, i just read your comment on the other topic.
The Market ADW not show wallpaper in application box and have lower
perfomance. But the icons view perfect

The wallpaper can be set from its settings (Menu>More>ADW Settings).
I reflashed and it became fine.

I can't seem to find a good screenshot of it (and the only person I know with a tablet's sleeping, so I'll post one tomorrow if I get the chance), but in Honeycomb and the tablet version of ICS, when you scroll on your current home screen to another screen you can see light-blue glowy outlines for the icons on the screen you're scrolling to.
Is it possible to replicate that effect in ICS for a phone? Would that have to be something done at the homescreen level, or something deeper? The Android tablets always had my attention with this effect.
Thankies! =]
Apex launcher, free in market, lets you have that animation. It is like ICS stock launcher with a lot more options. Choose trasition effect as tablet from Apex home screen settings.
I know exactly what you are talking about. I suggest you maybe contact the APEX launcher guys (Android Does) and see if that is even possible. I like it too and think it would be cool on the phone level.
Wow, you guys replied quickly... Thank you both. =D

It sort of does; it has the outline of the homescreen that moves around, which looks kinda' cool. However, it's still missing the part where the icons and widgets get that same outline treatment and then as they move in, slowly become visible.

Will do; I just wish Apex Launcher would let me move my homescreens around when I'm in the preview mode. xD It's the one thing I preferred Nova Launcher for, but Apex has improved lots since when I first used it (when it first came out).
Landscape mode?
