Question
At some point adw crashed on cm7 zmod because i long pressed an icon and the option to delete/edit came up as i accidently swiped it in trash ...
Clicking remove then seems to be a no no for adw itself
Now what would happen if i were to install a different launcher and delete adw?
Thnx in advance!

t would probbably work a little better..Try go launcher ex i used that home replacemnt for a very long time! its amazing!! hope this helps
And was that on a custom rom? Because i tried adw and launcher pro when my phone wasnt rooted etc so ot was just an apk ... ah home running over my SE home
But now when adw closed i didnt get the normal sony ericsson home screen but just a clean background.
I think adw is the only launcher in this rom ... hence my concern

YOu can use any home launcher on any ROM. But remember, that you must have any launcher on your rom If you closed adw and dont have any other launcher, thats why you had empty bacground.
Personally I used many launchers,but returned to default SE launcher,because it never crashed for me. You can try e.g. Zeam Launcher, its one of the fastest and doesnt have huge RAM consumption...
Firstly try to clean adw data using OS, it might help.
Go launcher works fine for me, however ADW launcher crashes sometimes.
Had been nice to find a way to remove ADW launcher tough... annoys me it is there

You can remove it simply If adw cant be uninstalled normally - use some root capable file manager (e.g. Total Commander for Android) and go into path /system/app/ Here you can find ADW launcher apk and simply delete it. Note you MUST have any other launcher already installed!

Hey!
anyone know a launcher that is fast,goodlooking and dont take to much battery (for x10mini)?
standard one is to uggly.
Try Zeam .. i prefer that to ADW or Launcher Pro.
my money is on Launcher Pro...
best alternates are the mentioned Launchers:
Zeam, ADW or Launcher Pro.
I would also suggest you GO Launcher.
Try them all end than stick at YOUR choice.
Zeam gets my vote for speed...
Launcher Pro was slow and somehow heavy on my X10
Zeam was blazing fast
Go Launcher was something in the middle (more features that Zeam but faster than LP)
It's a while I don't use ADW, I don't like when devs mess up with licenses.
My choice was Go Launcher because of the better dock but I think I'll move back to Zeam soon
Just a quick question.
If I install Zeam then how come I'll release the default one? It won't eat memory?
I like this launcher thing but it doesn't just eat memory the home screen keeps going on every time I turn it off.
By the way does anyone have the backup and restore always on and when he turn it off the coverage goes off?
took zeam, fast n goodlooking.

My money is on LauncherPro+ edition, its quite customizable and have a bunch of options. If anyone needs or anyone wanna try it, im attaching it.

.. not quite getting you with the first part...
Second part, about Backup and restore... I deleted it from the phone completely.. I had network recycle (my network go off and after few sec comes back) but it works just fine now.
I installed zeam and now want to remove the default home application from my hone. Can you please tell me which application I need to uninstall?
After reading this I decided to have a play with Zeam.. all I can say is after 10 min I was back to Launcher Pro+ (I missed my Custom Dock's, The LP widgets and widget resize, among other things)
If you want a good free Launcher.. Zeam seems pretty good (just looks like a cut down version of Launcher Pro)
if you want the best launcher then pay for Launcher Pro +
so anyone say which is the launcher that takes less battery.

i use "absolute system" to remove stock programs.

zeam is good but it's lacking something.

Zeam is nice, if you don`t need to make phone calls. Because it is difficult to find a minuscule icon and hit it when you are in a rush.

A possibility to assign another dialer to the call function. Not only the stock one. I am sure somewhere it can be changed.

Stocked Home app is called SemcHome.apk, but i woudnt recommend you to delete it, cause you will have error poping up on boot, just install launcher that you wanna use and when you reboot you will get question in which app to open launcher (Stocked, or the one that you installed), check "always use this app" (or something like that, and choose app. From now on your Home screen and Launcher will be displayed with app that you choose.
Stocked Home app is, after that, useless (until you uninstall Launcher app), but you need it if you dont wanna errors poping up.
i tried them all but i found the best one is home++ it is really great with battery
and it looks really good
For me, Helix Launcher is the best for battery saving. It's like launcher pro but without the customizability, saving battery
does anyone have an idea how to replace the ADWLauncher with the new one thats really awesome the spd 3d one everytime i try to load it manually and set it as default the stock adwl overwrites it and pops back up few minutes later, i even removed the ADWLauncher with root uninstall and then i had no access to settings on the phone and later on wouldnt start so i had to reflash it, if anyone could help would be nice
hrm
all i need to know is how to replace the ADWLauncher on Cyanogen 7mod on the Defy, with something else without damaging the settings and phone...
Delete adw from system/app with root explorer or freeze it with titanium backup

The truth that this is secondary, for now. All you need now is to cyanogen for all functions at 100%. I do not ask more than that, if sis isis
All I did was just install Launcher Pro Plus and it replaced ADW. Everything works smoothly now.

launcherpro is way better than ADW..
if launcherpro have grouping feature just like LG launcher,
and have change-icon feature.
it would be the best ever.
Currently in use Launcher Pro
I'm using Launcher 7 with cm7 without any problems

I'm using launcher pro since my old galaxy lite with 1.6.
Just flashed to 2.3.3 and I was hoping to use the default google home.
Does anyone knows why it's not included in CM?

CM has used ADW Launcher for ages now. It was back in CM5 (IIRC) and the general consensus from the users was that they preferred ADW over stock, and thus ADW became default.
Personally, I like ADW.
Launcher Pro the free one is better than ADW, but ADW launcher EX is better than Launcher. Personally , I like ADW more than Launcher Pro.
I use launcher pro since 2.1 stock rom and with CM7, it is just perfect for me, smooth, very easy to custom
I'm using Launcher Pro since ever.
It's the best Launcher available and it really runs smooth
Hi anyone who reads this, im currently wondering whats the best home launcher that people are using. i know there are alot which have ups and downs but i feel there is not one truely dominant launcher i have heard of. So, if you would like to share your experience, good or bad, of home launchers id love to hear your views
BTW its not a place just to slag off anyones hard work making a launcher ect, id just like to hear other peoples views
Thanks

thanks for the reply
ADW launcher or go launcher.
I don't like se launcher at all. The bottom bar is far too fat and it has no customizability
Mostly agreed, but i like the widget overview
it would be adw but you cant add the arc photo widget. so i think it be the se 2.3.4

X10 HACK
Stock 2.3.4
Sent from my X10a using xda premium
launcher pro because
1) I like the scrolling calendar and facebook widgets (paid version only)
2) I like the ability to hide certain apps from the app folder
3) its very stable for me
I'm interested to see what features other launches have over it though as development on launcher pro seems to have slowed somewhat.
My faves are stock 2.3.4 and LP.
However i prefer LP for all it's themed HD icons and tweaks available.
Is there a way to theme icons for stock 2.3.4 ?
+1
I really can't live without the scrolling calendar i LPP. I've tried another scrolling calendar that worked on stock SE 2.3.4. But it was to ugly...
SE Stock have two major features I miss...
- 4x4 icons (I want 5x4)
- Can't customize shortcuts

GO launcher has a scrollable calendar i think with smooth page transitions so i liked that when i used a calendar.
Also, it has many tweaks to get it how you want, maybe an alternative to LP as it now seems that its a pretty dominant launcher
Fave Home Launcher
I've been using SPB Shell 3D for almost a year now so I would say its almost my perfect choice but I love the one from stock 2.3.4 too.
Currently, I use Launcher 7.
nemus launcher for me !
stock se 2.3 home and Nemus Launcher,because of speed and simplicity
Defo Sony 2.3.4 stock launcher. Looks good, simple to use, and really fast!

I like go Launcher or ADW Launcher. Both are good but used go Launcher the most and enjoyed it the best along with goSMS
If you want to be fast, go launcherpro or adwlauncher. However, there's a popular launcher emerging called golauncher. Its heavily customizable and you can make it look exactly how you want. You should check it out for yourself.

I'd say ADW launcher. It is my favourite of all time right now. But I must ask what is Trancent Launcher? I tried searching for it but I didnt find it.
I say adw launcher ex too. It's fast and well customizable.
But...btw CyanogenMod doesn't have adw as stock launcher?
yeah it does
i am running cm7 on my phone
i just wanted to know
because my cm7 is starting to lag a little.
like it takes aa few second to get past the lock screen
and i though it might be launcher oriented
Zeam launcher or launcher pro. I prefer zeam
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I like ADW Launcher EX in combination with ADW notifier as it is fast and highly customizable.
But the best advice I can give is to try all the free versions of launchers and see which one works best for your device.
Is there any way to change defoult icons in CM9 for those from HTC sense ? I love colourfull preferences menu. The same question is about synch contats images with those from facebook as it can be done in defoult legend ROM...

For default icon, i have no idea because i liked CM9 icon more than sense icon. But for sync contact images/details with facebook, you can use friendcaster and sync your contact. And maybe you might need to edit your phone contact to join them with friendcaster contact.
Friendcaster does the same thing that FacebookForHTCSense did in stock ROMs.
For Icons, you can change icons in drawer and home with some launchers ( I think ADW and also GoLauncher ). With Trebuched and Apex this isn't supported. You can download the Icons ( .png I think ) here -----> [http://www.deviantart.com/download/157227062/New_HTC_Sense_UI_2_1_Icons_by_wwalczyszyn.zip]
You could try with Ninjamorph ( in Play Store ). It says that can change apps icon. I've never tried it, and I can't try it right now ( Bricked Legend... ).
grate thx for answering ! I'll try to folow your guides
EDIT: One more question I'm during root' my legend and i'm wondering if is it posible to instal launcher Pro insted of ADW ? (BTW is ADW defoult launcher in CM9 as it was in CM6 series?). If you have instaled CM9 could you tell me how is it working (i know there is topic for it but searching post like "wow sped incresed ~50% batery life ~30% is hard to do)

No, default launcher for CM9 is Trebuchet which only work on ICS. From my opinion, this launcher is better than ADW and LP. But if you want, you can find other launcher for ICS in google play(Apex, Nova, etc).
i didn't know thet they aren't compatible with ICS thx for makeing me know it! as i said i was just wondering if is it possible and thx for answering

No, ADW an LP both are compatible with ICS. You still can use it as your default launcher if you want. Its just not installed by default because CM9 is using Trebuchet launcher.
