Hi all,
I intersted back to use the original launcher home screen of sony ericsson, that have 4 application in the corners of screen. But with the functions that have many widgets in a simple screen ( in the original launcher home screen, only 1 widget for each screen).
I use today the adw launcher ex. I not found how configure this in ADW, or if i can.
Ty a lot

I dont think this is possible. You can put 4 icons in corners of the screen, you'll get same functionality
It's true... realy, i'm not thinking this.... i will see... but he only stay in first screen, in others not... i will testing...
ty a lot

Ok, so now that we all have Froyo or at at least most of us. I find that the general feeling toward the Dell Stage widgets is negative. My question is what is everyone else using for widgets? I'm having a heck of a time trying to find widgets that scale with the screen. Everything seems to place the widgets in the wrong place because of the screen size. For example one of my favourite widgets is TypoClock. However the widget can't seem to find the TOP MIDDLE of my screen like it looks in ALL the Nexus One screen shoots with it. It always hangs to the left of the screen. Has anyone modded certain widgets to fit the screen better? There is a post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761517 ,that shows some AMAZING Themes and set ups but I can't seem to get anything to look that good on the Streak. If anyone has a sweet Theme or look to their Streak and could you please post a screen shoot and how you did it. PLEASE!
I think your better off ultimately changing the UI itself and get either ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro. I've just brought Launcher Pro Plus ($2.99/£1.95) and its def worth it as its so customizable, you can set the layout grid size and then manually alter the size of the widgets in real time. I tried to use Dell's Stage and just didn't like it, so much wasted space and it felt like a poor HTC Sense UI.
ok, i have tried searching enldess scroll, bounce back home screen, continuous,etc.. and i cant find an app that will let the home screen loop around back to screen 1 as in 1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5, instead of having to swipe back 4 home pages to get to page 1.
i believe its called endless scroll, and adw has it, but i dont want a whole new launcher, i wanna keep the gingerblur launcher.
any help is greatly appreciated.

I believe you may have to install a whole new launcher. LauncherPro should have it as well. Luckily you could get a theme for one of these launchers to look like GingerBread PLUS you'll have a ton of new features (e.g. endless scroll)
doesnt it use up more memory or is the main launcher disabled?
LauncherPro has the looping effect
ya just uninstalled that, was supper slow , after unlock would take like 5 seconds to show the home screen with launchers

That's strange...do you get this lag when you use ADW?
suprisingly no, but i cant seem to find the virtual scroll in those settings

I'm actually not sure ADW has those settings, but it might in the paid version (I never used that one). My LauncherPro has never seemed to run slow or laggy or anything..Maybe you should install it and then reboot your phone just to try it out after everything is fresh and restarted or something? If you can get it to not be slow, then LP is definitely the way to go. It has the option you're looking for and you can definitely get a sweet theme to make it look just like the Gingerblur launcher.
i have ADW EX and i know for a fact it has it gets kinda annoying actually lol
coo thanks for the input ill try it tommorrow whilst im at work

You do need to use an alternate launcher to get the affect you're looking for. I've tried most and I can say without doubt that 'Go Launcher Ex' does this smoother than any others I've tried (and it's free). I personally use this feature and love it, I can't believe it's not built in to the Android OS (or should I say MotoBlur). Below is a link to 'Go Launcher Ex' in the Android Market.

i like go launcher the best, it's free and allows widget resizing for free (unlike LP). it also has the infinite scroll.
Hey guys, ADW Ex (paid version) has the looping screens too as stated before and it works very well in my opinion. To get the scrolling smoother though, it be best if you set the background to unscrollable and that way the background doesn't have to readjust everytime you go from you're last screen to the first screen.
Go Launcher EX has the loop option, plus you can choose the ginger theme and it's free. Made by the people here at XDA
now that i figured that i need to freeze the main launcher, go launcher is the one for me

Freeze the main launcher? Hmm, I should try that.
Go Launcher actually seems to lag a bit more than ADW for me, especially with a live wallpaper.
after using go launcher, with main launcher frozen, i noticed battery life decrease. i mean id leave work fully charged, and by the time i got home (1hr later) i was at 84 percent. with regular gblur, i am usually at 95-96, sometimes 94 when i get home. sad to say im back to regular gblur with no endless screens
I'm using LauncherPro Plus and it's very smooth for me (it has the endless looping of homescreens). There is some slowdown if you use live wallpapers, but with static ones and with animation speeds set to the fastest (and in spare parts too) it's great. An other thing that slows LP down a lot is if you turn 'high quality scrolling' on. It doesn't make a very visible difference visually, but it lags like hell for me.
ya launcher pro was super laggy for me
Okay guys, what I'm trying to do is use Launcher Pro on MIUI with a Gingerbread dock. The thing is, on Launcher Pro, you only have 3 pages to begin with, is there anyway to increase the number of pages?
Also, one more thing. On Gingerbread, they have those two "dots" things on the sides of the dock and the dots change accordingly to the page you're on, I also wanted to implement that in Launcher Pro, as well. Does anyone know how I can do all this?
I basically want the dock to act and look exactly like the Gingerbread launcher dock. So how do I do this using Launcher Pro?
I would just use the Gingerbread Launcher, but LauncherPro performs a lot better and has a lot of other stuff I want.
Thanks in advance.
While on your home screen, pores the menu key, preferences.....go to home screen settings to change the number of screens and go to either appearances or advanced settings for the dots.....check every setting on there and customize to your liking.
ADW EX has been updated with more Honeycomb tweeks.

The ADW icon has been changed to an app launcher! Hurray!
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher
so happy adw icon is gone
I have been playing around with it for an hour now trying to decide if I want my default home to be the new updated adw ex or stick with my setup on launcher pro.
I think I am going to keep it as the default launcher. Right now the biggest hurdle is figuring out how many columns and rows the desktop needs to be set at.
Might be switching back to adw ex
I think the new dock and less force closes will have me moving back to adw ex, not having that icon is nice too.
hey, i just got it, and i cant figure something out. I used wallpaper wizardii for wallpapers on stock launcher, but on adw now, those same pics don't seem to fill the screen. Anything else I need to do to get them to scale?
I don't know, but Gallery is working for me.
Wow, making a Tablet look pretty is waaaaay harder than a phone.
Difficult Decision
I have customization syndrome. Every time I pick up my tab I have to change the layout somehow. With the new update to adw ex I want to use it as my default launcher but it still has a ton of space that is left unused on the top, bottom and sides. But it runs so smooth.
So I am stuck, keep the space and launcher pro Widgets or have less screen to work with but have a completely smooth experience with adw ex? I also am totally in love with the adw ex app drawer with the 4d.
Finaaally
Trying it out right now
sorry
Have to disable the main dock and use secondary dock as main dock in order to have use of the full screen on the sides.
Now I just have to figure out how to get my launcher pro bookmarks widget over to adw ex and I am good to go.
new version is great.
Thanks for developing it to a useful launcher on tablets.
I couldn't think it was possible but it is again smoother than before ...... hurray
widgets like youtube and market dont work well on it
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but every time I hit the home button it reverts back to TW. I thought setting the home button binding option would fix this but it didn't. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem?
Go to Applications, Manage, All, find Launcher, then Reset Defaults, then press the Home Icon, you'll be able to pick your launcher of choice.
Thank you. Not sure how I missed that.
You can't it is built into the launcher code. I installed and purchased Wizard Widgets from the market.

Is there a trial version of ADW EX? I can't find one.

Dont think so.
BTW Is it me or is scrolling through screen unresponsive at times ?
Seems like you need a long gesture to get it to switch. A smaller "fling" results in a bounce only but stays on same screen.
Is there a setting for this ?
Looks great. Would like to have a trail.
Is there any way to remove home screens? This is so simple on the phones, not sure why they made the tablet impossible to do? I could even live with 2 or 3, but 5 screens? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I haven't found any way to do so in the stock launcher - but I didn't search that hard really, I just used 3 of them and left the leftmost and rightmost empty.
I'm on ADW EX now and you can easily add/remove home screens.

Thanks for the response. I do not really like ADW EX at all...but I guess if that is the only option. I can't believe there is no easy way to do this.
