Try using Apex Launcher, its much better than the stock.

Anyone else like the previous ADW version better than the new updated version? No hidden dockbar is killing me.

I don't use ADW Ex but I saw this on my twitter feed yesterday.
@davekover ADW EX users: To hide your dockbar in the new update, set a gesture swipe action to 'open/close dockbar' -- temporary solution.

Hope it helps!
Ya that's what I'm doing for now but it is impossible to set up the launcher like I had it before. Now whenever you hide the dockbar it also moves all icons and Widgets on screen as well and its very choppy. Glad they said temporary fix. Maybe they'll add it back in.

It's starting to grow on me. Not updating it on my tablet though, because apparently, the update messes up my homescreen setup (Hubs).
Good to know..
I haven't updated yet.
Im gonna save a copy of this apk b4 I check it out
Previous version was definitely smoother for me, hoping for an update to fix that. Adjusting to it but since I didn't use hidden dock that much the transition hasn't been as hard as it might be for others.
Just switched to adw today. For 10 cents how can you go wrong? Coming from go launcher it is a slight change, but growing on me. Had to get Android pro widgets because I missed my go launcher Facebook widget. Not as many effects but seems a little smoother.

What worked for me to hide the dockbar was to make the swipe up gesture to hide the dockbar, then once it was gone change the swipe up gesture back to what i wanted it to be (which was app drawer for me), and the dockbar stayed hidden! I hope this wasn't too confusing and I hope this helps!

Yeah I use android pro widgets as well.

That setting change is a great alternative to what in used to. This will work for a bit, but I'm still hoping that they add back the hidden dockbar as well

yeah me too, I was expecting a choice of launchers like the video showed, but after it installed it went to ADW only, so I spent a while re-doing my screens
to the folks missing the hidden dock bar, can't you just hide it? I made the swipe-up show/hide it. I don't know what I'm missing since I didn't see the old verision.
also adw notifier quit working on my widgetlocker lockscreen (but that was before the install).
I used the preset fast and this thing zooms now

Paid for EX like a year ago. Loving the update because it finally allows the ics dock to scale properly.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
so is it just me, or do other people have to tap 3-4 times to launch stuff on the dock? If I pull the icon off the dock and put it back on it works on one tap. the tap is registering because the icon highlights blue, but it commonly takes a few tries...?
I'm using widget locker with honeycomb theme and was wondering if there is a way to replace the stock lock screen with this one due to a few force closes making it revert to stock lock screen.

I use WidgetLocket too with the ICS theme, and haven't had it force close once. It has worked perfectly for me so far. Maybe trying reinstalling it? Are you rooted or running mostly stock?
I'n rooted running adw ex with the snowball mod. I was wantint to replae stock lockscreen and not just have an overlay. Just seems like it would run better.

I find that with both widget locker and go launcher, that even if I have links to the apps copied to the system/app folder, my clock widget (fancy widget) loses the skin definition and needs to be reapplied.
Otherwise, things work fine.
Do you think putting a link to fancy widget in system/app would fix the clock skin issue?
Don't know if this would work but on my phone I use NoLock to disable the stock and Go Locker as a replacement. Might be worth a try.
There is a setting in the widget locker settings to disable stock lock screen. Can't remember where it is right now in the settings tho.
As far as the widgets disappearing after reboot, I have the same issue and haven't found a way to fix it yet.

If you want them not to lose configuration you have to move them from datt/app
to system/app and there you should give them full permissions. That has solved my problem with widgets in Go launcher
I'm using Go Launcher right now, and I'm pretty satisfied. Is there any better theme app than this? what apps do you use for your theme?
I really like go sms pro and a few others They make a lot of decent apps, all highly customizable. I used go launcher before I got CM9. As for others? Idk.

I used Go with my Droid X and Liberty and loved it. Since this is my first HTC I've been giving sense a try, but the thing that drives me nuts is the home screen only sits vertical, where as Go works either or.
I never did theme mine, the craziest i got was enabling some of the cool page transition graphics. I'm starting to lean toward Go again, esp if i can get the sense clock/weather 4x1 widget. I have to say i love that thing a lot.

Being only vertical is what drives me nuts about Sense. If there was a way for the homescreen to be auto orientation, then Sense would be all I need.

Same with me, that's a waste of space. Apex launcher doesn't have that black menu bar. Not sure about other launchers.
I used it in the past but found it "choppier" then other options. ADWLauncher EX is my go-to nowadays. never had a problem with it.
I'm trying it right now. It seems to be the only one that I can find that offers a 5 column app drawer and allows resizable widgets for free.
It seems pretty fast, there is choppiness every now and then but that is usually when I'm running other stuff at the same time.
The biggest downside is the Honeycomb menu bar. I emailed the developer about this issue, hopefully they will take care of it since it is a fairly simple fix. If some of you like it too (except for the menu bar), I'd encourage you to email them and complain. The more complaints the higher the chances of a fix. [email protected]
I tried most launchers and the one i like the most is Nova Launcher.

Hi there, I was wondering if there is any way to make the Blur home screen rotate without having to instal any third party apps.
Can someone help?
Basically, I wanted to make everything rotate to landscape, homescreen, phone, contacts, since some of those don't rotate unless you force it with third party apps.
Thanks in advance!
Does 3rd party apps also cover Nova Launcher? On settings I can get all screens to rotate.

Maybe some dev could port some system apps from droid 4, as the actual screen resolution and hardware is more or less the same

Pretty sure you can edit your build.prop to do this...could be wrong.

Blur doesn't rotate and devs will probably not use this in a rom.

Found another app, the best one so far. I guess that the file we need should be in that app, but since I'm not a dev, i don't dare to try it.
The app is called Set Orientation, and it allows you to force auto orientation even on those apps that don't rotate, like homescreen and dialer.
The best of all, it's a free app.
Is there a way to force my phones screen to auto rotate the screen? It of course does it when in apps but on the home screen it doesnt.
For the life of me I cannot understand why they will not give us this one simple feature.
Use power toggles, or better yet, use custom launcher
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
The default launcher doesn't auto-rotate. Check out Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher, both have that functionality.
Wanting to stick with the stock launcher. Is there a recommended app from the market to do just this?
And what rom are you running? Stock MotoBlur or custom rom?
