This wallpaper that appears fine on the stock launcher is shifted down on ADW causing a black bar on the top. I cleared data, restarted, reinstalled, blah blah my ADW and it is still like that.
Any help?
I noticed the same thing while testing adw ex. The only wallpaper that looked correct was a live wallpaper I tried (skyrim)
I don't know how or why but ADW treats the background as if your screen had a lower screen resolution. I haven't experimented a lot but try making the images smaller.
That's why I don't like using thst launcher for thst reason alone. Its really only good for phones. STOCK ICS LAUNCHER ALOT BETTER. N with my method of using picspeed to apply wallpapers, it looks great.

The stock launcher lacks customizability. Things like removing the page indicators, changing the app drawer, changing the size of the desktop grid, etc. The wallpaper is the only knock I have on ADW.
ya i think adw has bugs on wallpaper and scrollable widgets not working.
Use wallpaper live from the market,
someone know how can i delete the blue line on top?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, I have problems with scrollable widgets as. I thought there was a setting on the launcher to enable it like launcherpro but from where I read, its enabled automatically. I guess it's not fully compatible with ICS yet

I'm searching for the same answer too. I don't want to hide the status bar, but I want the blue line gone. Same issue here with the wallpaper. I'm using the picspeed method too with the stock launcher and I'm very happy along with elixir widgets. Until both issues above get resolved, I'm staying with stock.

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.

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.

Great link
That trick with the keyboard and setting default apps was worth the read.
Thank you, you're alright for a Hoosier Martian.

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.
I have the same problem, but with Go Launcher Ex ...
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.

Hope this hasn't already been asked, I searched and found nothing.
After installing HC on my View, I installed ADW launcher as I like it more then stock sense but I lose pretty much all the good stuff at the top like the google search etc, anyone know a way to get all that back while keeping ADW going?
I enclosed a screenshot of what it looks like currently.

Nobody else is using HC+ADW launcher on their View and missing the google search bar up there??
???
just put the google search widget on the screen.
Kinda sucks to have to use up screen space for the widget when the bar at the top has it built in, well, when your not using ADW launcher
Well yes, but its part of the HTC sense launcher, so not available on other launchers. At least ADW lets you resize it.
Ah ok, that makes sense then (no pun intended)
I was under the impression that the stuff at the top was part of HC not sense, thanks for the clarification.
That stuff is a part of honeycomb's launcher, and thus is a part of sense's launcher. I tried to use ADW Ex myself on the stock rom... Found it laggy and annoying that widgets didn't resize properly when autorotate was on. Switched to the desensed view rom and the stock launcher and I am much happier.
Only thing I miss from ADW is that some widgets are not scrollable, and there's not as much flexibility with screen real estate because you can't edit the grid size. Of course that's why it had problems rotating so it's a fair trade imo.

Not a fan of ADW on the Flyer. Can't get the widgets centered nor resized like I want to.

Yea the grid control is one of the things I really love about ADW and I just hate all the overhead of sense, gonna try the de-sensed rom today with the stock launcher and see how that looks/feels, thanks!
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?

Hey guys,
Sorry for the bunch of questions in recent days. I'm new a this while being fairly compulsive. Ok so let's make use of the ability to make screen shot. In the picture below, apps on the left are from stock touch wiz, and the second set of icons (more to the right) are from the TW SIII mod from pale horse. As you can see, apps on the right have much more space between them then on the left. Is there anyway for me to make it so apps on the right have the same space between them than apps on the left? It is very obsessive of me I know.
Thank you
Install the Apex launcher. Then you can change the grid of your desktop to any spacing that suits you.
And this is for caring about icon spacing. . .

What did you do to fix this?
Another thing Apex can do is let you resize icons. Maybe that could help?
And you know the CDO picture was strictly a joke - not trying to do anything here but assist.
That was a good one ranger...LOL
And yes....we need a sense of humor around here once in a while....g
Right? You know sometimes you can get someone's undies in a bunch by just saying hi.
Ahah no worries I can take a joke. I embed up doing nothing. Apex had the same problem so I just took a deep breath and accepted things as they are.

Did you browse the Homescreen thread? Maybe you can see a solution there. Anyone there will share their setup with you.

I use SSLauncher, and do whatever I like with the homescreen(s). Spacing, resizable widgets, etc.... SSLauncher=freedom!
from the looks of your photo something was changed other then just icons. your homescreen indicators and wallpaper dont line up. you can try changing your screen density to something larger to fill in the gaps. stock is 320. i use apex like ranger recomended and hide icon labels then change grid size. i use 8x5 and this makes all my icons very close(i also use text for icons rather then pictures). you should play around with it. pro version also lets you resize and overlap widgets so you can get icons close but still have widgets look like they should.
