Has anyone else tried this launcher? I found it in the market tonight. it's like a new upgrade from the original ADS with more customizations like scroll animations. It's readily really good.

Firstly, to save any confusion, this is ADW Launcher EX. It's a paid version of ADW Launcher and is worth every penny! It keeps all the original features of ADW Launcher but adds a lot of extra features such as customised home scrolling animations and the home edit function from the Galaxy S.
Goodbye Go Launcher, you have been outclassed! This is my new home app.
Hot tip: disable desktop bounce when using animations. Looks 1000 times better.
ahh thank you for that. Stopping the desktop bounce did make it look a lot better. Amazing!
And to the guy that said LP is still better.lmao, buy this app and then judge it. LP cant touch the new ADW EX launcher.
I paid for LP plus and icons a few days ago. If I new the new adw was coming out I would of waited. The new adw is very nice,slick and quick.

Does this version still have the "feature" of swiping the dock to hide/unhide? I never could find a setting to disable that, main reason I went to lp...

I went ahead and purchased the app, it's very nice. The most important to me was the ability to increase the size of icons (setting at 125 looks good, as I move past 150 it starts to get visibly blurry). The new effects are nice too.
Is anyone else having problems locking the homescreen to portrait with ADW Ex? Both 'portrait' and 'landscape' seem to lock the phone to landscape. Auto is the only way to get portrait, but it seems to briefly flick back to briefly landscape sometimes, even when the phone isn't rotated.

You need to check the system persistant under system preferences.

Screeshots of ADW EX on my Streak
I just wanted to share a few examples of my home screens set up with ADW EX launcher.
Anyone else getting fc with this launcher? I love it but the number of fc is almost unbearable!

ADW Ex is 3.1 ready. I still like the new honeycomb launcher for now though myself.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
good to know that it works on 3.1. I would guess the home replacement app is not ready for 3.1 yet.
launch pro was mentioned somewhere in the forum ...another home app ...

using Launcher Pro and it works great, but not optimized for tablet yet.
I'm currently using ADW Launcher EX. I've gotten better performance from it than the stock launcher. Can't wait for the next release as it should have better integration with Honeycomb.
i never used launch pro , why i have an impression that the app allows you to customerize widget rather than being a home app ..

It lets you adjust the widget size if you purchase the full version, but it's mainly meant as a replacement home.
I use ADW EX after trying Launcher Pro which had a number of FC's. Adw flies on my GT but LP's widgets look great on the big screen. Just a bit of advice if you use a custom launcher is set the orientation to portrait or landscape and set it the way you want. The screens don't transition well if you use large widgets which I do.

I use LauncherPro primarily because of its great looking widgets and widget resizing. Honeycomb's resizing features only work with certain widgets specifically designed to support it. LauncherPro will resize any widget.
The only thing I don't like about LauncherPro is its app drawer, but for that, I have a shortcut to an activity that points to the native home screen. I haven't been able to locate the specific command to automatically launch its app drawer, but just getting to the home screen is a start. In theory, you could launch any replacement home screen's app drawer.
If your looking for a fully customizable clock, weather, settings widget for your tablets check out this app. It's 99 cents on the market. It is perfect because I customize my homescreen every couple of days when I get bored with it. Check it out.

Here are some pics, many different options, colors and themes.
Thanks, I've been wondering when something like this would be developed.
You can make the background of these widgets transparent right?
Yep you can just brought it and looks great very easy to customise all aspects thanks for the tip to op
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
yes, every widget size has an option for transparent, black, white, grey, blue, glass, green, red and a few others. I loved the Asus weather widget but hated the very large location wording, I live in a town with a large name so the widget took up half my screen. I just love how many different ways you can customize this widget to go with any theme or wallpaper.
Pretty good app, especially for .99!

I found two bugs in it yesterday emailed the devs and update was released today which fixed it and they replied via email vey quickly so well worth the small price they are asking

another vote for this application
i bought .. provided some suggestions to devs and already received an email response ... excellent customer support
Widget "HD tablet Half Page" 4x7 shortcut: tap the date not open calendar.
Just wish it had better clock selection. I hates me a stylized "LED" digital clock, and what I hates worse than a stylized "LED" digital clock is a Sense-looking flip clock, and for right now, those are the only choices.
Just give me plain numbers please, no faking of ancient technology on a modern high-resolution LCD.
This thread sold me. Bought it and love it as well.

Is that app panel in the Jets picture part of the widgets pack or is that something else?

Looks like the Launcher Pro bookmark widget
I'm using the launcher adw ex and that is one of the task bars. I just swipe down and it goes away. Swipe down again and it comes back. It's wonderful!
The bookmarks widget is a free widget called android pro widget. It is all the launcher pros Widgets just seperate so I can use them on adw ex.

Hi, can somebody point me to a weather app that had simple ui like iPhone weather? I know its sh*t but i only need simple weather with no radars maps etc. tried witiz weather but it sucks. thanks

Accuweather
Hey, maybe Accweather is the right app for you. I'm using it and I'm satisfied.
If u don't like it try The Weather Channel.
(Sry I can't post links...)
Hi, I use Yandex.Weather, you can get if off market. It has 2x1 and 4x1 widgets. Shows todays and tomorrows temp,weather. Very simple, basic.
Tried everything but its not what I'm looking for. I mean app which have only icon which i click on and I'll see a five day forecast in full screen window, just like iPhone. Only one which is like this is witiz, but its inaccurate and i can't switch off refreshing...tried the one from here (aed) but its full of ads...

There is a really nice Weather app called Weatherlove. The App is very minimalistic und good looking. There are four widgets. One Widget is similar to the HTC Sense one.
1weather in the market.

Try Be Weather. Works pretty good for me
My wish is that someone would make a Screen Lock App and maybe some has, if not I think this a great idea, of course.
1. It must show any missed income calls, messages and emails.
2. Time and weather.
3. Circle when long pressed to swipe outside of circle to open.
4. Customizable App selection; the ability to add a few apps around the circle to choose from, but if not chosen swipe outside of the circle to opens.
5. Select a random picture everytime you turn on your phone from a directory of your choice.
I think that's a tall order my friend, but you can try Widget Locked and see if you get some or all of those things you're looking for...

Yes, WidgetLocker is great. It allows to add homescreen widgets on it. Plus, it has many themes to launch apps (ICS, Sense, iPhone).
I'd like to add more: Install "Tesla Unread" to get missed call, SMS and Gmail counts.
Yeah, Widget Locker pretty much does all of that minus Live Picture wallpaper.
Try Go Locker from Play Store

You'll have to install Go Launcher EX to use it. Just to tweak lock screen usability, changing home launcher is an overkill..
I'm gonna suggest, as others here have, Widget Locker. I've always been running widget locker since I first had an android phone and have never used anything else because it does the job perfectly. Obviously, it's best feature is the customization available for it. Every few days I'm changing the layout of my lockscreen, just so it's something new

You could try using widget locker combined with minimalistic text integrated with tasker. That might give you what you want.
