With ADW, is there a way to uninstall an app from within the App Drawer? Most launchers allow you to long press an app to remove it but this method does not seem to work with ADW.
Yup.
Long press and hold it on the Trash bin on the top until it says hold to delete.
Then drop it and go.
That's cool, thanks! I wasn't holding the icon long enough.
Is the paid version (ADW EX) much better than free ADW? If so, for what reasons?
I bought it when it was on the 10 cent special.
I use go launcher. (i got used to the gesture functions)
The paid version of ADW has some more customization options within the screen transitions, the app drawer, and the dock. I have had this launcher for over a year now and i love it. I have tried Launcher Pro PLus and Go Launcher Ex as well. But i keep comming back to ADW.

What is it about ADW that keeps you coming back to it?

- This is not a issue with ROMS, happens on both Nero and Axura.
soon as i reboot, and go on my phone, it opens up the GO LAUNCHER, when my default is launcher pro...
after its on go launcher, and i click home button it goes back to launcher pro... why does this happen every time i reboot? is it a problem with GO LAUNCHER?

I had the same problem and simply uninstalled Go.
ADWLauncher EX is very nice and worth the price.
I also have LauncherPro Plus and switch between the two.
k i uninstalled go launcher, i'll see if its working good, and i have both of those, and i use launcher pro, but i bought EX just because a bunch of people said its awesome, so yeah lol
Interestingly I have had exactly the same problem with Go and Launcher Pro, the current default. But it has only emerged in the last few days. Just trying to remember if it was around the same time as a Go upgrade, which does ring a bell. No biggie, just slightly annoying. And I don't want to uninstall Go as I have it set up as an ready alternative

You need to download some of the EX themes and explore the customization features.
Check out,Gingerbread,Eyefold,Symbian and AndroidPhone7 themes.
Those are all free and some include additional wallpapers and icon packs.
One of my favorite features is custom shortcuts.
Here's a YouTube link.

Hi all,
n00b questions here. Basically, I'm trying to figure out what exactly Rosie and Launcher Pro are.
I downloaded Launcher Pro (the free version) from the Market last night and see that it basically changes the layout of the home screen and icons and such. Seems fairly customizable, and you can also change transition effects between home screens. It also changes the buttons on the bottoms on the bottom of the home screen, sort of like a "quick launch" as seen in Windows. Is there anything else I'm missing?
I'm mainly confused about what Rosie is. I've installed some Roms that include Rosie, but I have no idea what it does or how to use it. The only thing I've seen is that there was a Rosie button on the bottom right of my home screen, which would open up one app that I assign that button to. And when I go into the Rosie settings from my app drawer, the only thing I can change is what program that one button opens. I think I'm missing something here, but Rosie seems pointless.
Also, is it worth it buying the paid version of Launcher Pro? Or do some custom ROMs include a mod of launcher pro that you don't need to pay for?
Thanks!
Rosie is what the sense launcher you got when you got your phone.
Launcherpro is basically just another home, which will replace rosie if you decide to make it your default home. No Roms will include the paid version of launcherpro and I highly recommend you to buy it to support the dev.

Thanks for the info.
Is Launcher Pro generally considered better than Rosie and what most seasoned Android users would use?

It's all about preference. Launcher Pro is very easily customized while Rosie is pretty much the same on every device (albeit there are differences with each Sense version). Launcher Pro is a lot leaner because it doesn't come with all that Sense baggage and I prefer it to other home replacements when using AOSP roms.

It's all really what you like and don't. LP is very nice and cinfigurable, bit its all in personal preference.
There are also a few other launchers out there worth checking out.
SPB Shell 3D
ADW EX
Regina
Zeam
GO Launcher
QuickDesk
Just need to pick the best one for you & your needs.
I use Go launcher. Has the quick launch bar on the bottom nice features and its free. Be aware you cant use sense widgets with an aftermarket launcher
I also use Go Launcher EX, was using Zeam but needed something more customizable.
But as stated before.... It's your preference
is there a way to modify Rosie to allow changes to the 3 icons on the bottom of the launcher? switch out the personalize icon for handcent?
is there a way to remove pages from the rosie launcher?
I love the profiles feature that senseui brings but I hate the fact that you only get two dock buttons. Are there any launchers that are as robust as sense or GO Launcher that also offer profiles?
LauncherPro paid version is definitively worth it.
I use Go launcher,but adw too good
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.

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.
Which is better to you ? Thanks
When I had my old Galaxy I tried both. Ended up with ADW EX. Seemed to work a bit better and I prefer some of its options/layout. From what I remember, they are very similar. When I picked up my Atrix, I just put ADW on. Never bothered to try LP.
oh alrightty . thanks
go launcher ex
pretties
I've tried them both and prefer adw. They're really similar. Just try then both and pick the one you like

I used LP+ for 2 years and really liked it but I decided to try out ADW EX a couple weeks ago and I will have to say I really like ADW but that might be because it's still new to me. It def has more options for customization but it is a pain trying to replace the widgets that came with LP+ (though I have been using Android Pro Widgets)
Adw launcher EX all the way. It has more control over the home screen giving you more options
I have the paid versions of both, but I run the free Go Launcher EX. I just like it better than either ADW or LP+
Who's down with LPP? Ya you know me!
I much prefer LauncherPro..I love the swipe function on the dock icons..giving you access to 10 apps/functions right from the main dock (30 if you use the extra docks). I tried ADW..but didn't notice this option..so I switched back. Not to mention the Launcher Pro widgets are slick.
Been running LP+ for a while and have stuck with it. LP also seemed a little smoother than ADW, although ADW has more options. Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with either, it really boils down to personal preference. Download the free version of each of them and see which one "floats your boat". Also don't count out the "dark horse" Go Launcher EX. It is free and has a lot of options as well, although I felt it was the least smooth of the three (as you can probably tell, smooth is a big deal with me)

+1 on ADW EX Have tried GO Launcher, Launcher Pro.. all have their goods and bads, but love the customization of ADW EX
just curious what launcher everyone is using and/or what others think is the best launcher for our tp's.
i've stuck with trebuchet since it's the closest to what i want (i guess) and sadly the other ones all have issues that piss me off.
i've used adw ex, go launcher, and nova launcher and still am not completely satisfied.
go launcher is almost completely unusable, imo. app drawer freezes/crashes and icon spacing is just really weird. nova launcher could be pretty neat but still has issues (obv it's a beta). i'd probably be really into adw ex if i could get rid of the top bar .
what are your experiences?
I am very satisfied with nova launcher
I like ADW EX, it has some nice tablet features and I use it on my phone as well.
IMO, SPB shell 3D.
I use GO Launcher right now cause that seems to make the wallpapers I download look best. With ADW, they seemed less clear than GL. The wallpaper cropping looked weird on the stock launcher on the Bricked ROM, it made the wallpaper zoom in when in landscape.
About Nova Launcher, how do the wallpapers look on that? I set my wallpaper size to be 1536x1024 and they come out super clear on GL. Was wondering how they look on Nova Launcher.
nova launcher works pretty dang well
Using trebuchet atm..... nova is pretty good too
I am using qq launcher
Go launcher - all the way.
Try Apex

Nova launcher is the best so far, used it as a system app on my ROM(1.3.3 GN GSM Code name Android). No crashes or whatsoever so far

Considering there is no result in the market for "apex launcher" you might want to put in a link to where to find this.

Hey! IMO SPB Shell 3d is the best launcher I've used. Here's a little review and demo I did just for this thread.. Lol.. PM me for more information. You won't regret it!
Push the thanks button if I help! :F
+1 for Apex launcher
Its like Trebuchet but with a lot of cool options!
I use trebuchet. I use nova on my phone but I don't like it on tablets. My two gripes are the app drawer not stretching out and no tablet screen transition. But I'm gonna try out apex now. Thanks!
Launcher
My thoughts:
I like GO and use it on my phone (skyrocket) but with the number of apps I have installed it tends to get laggy in the app drawer on the Tablet.
Trebuchet seems fairly solid.
just switched to nova launcher seems smooth
Going to try apex might read the all the thread first
After trying out most of the different launchers I have to agree that SPB Shell 3D is the best by a mile. Looks and feels beautiful.
