Home Screen

I friend of mine has the Captivate, and when they edit the home screen, there is an option to make any particular screen the default without having to move them around to certain orders.
Anybody know what she may have loaded that gives that option?

launcherpro?

Does not belong in development should be in Q/A
Yeah Launcherpro will do it and I thing ADW will to.

It's not LauncherPro (unless there is some setting in there that I can't find), cause her home screen looks just like the default, is edited just like the default with that one difference.
I will check out ADW to see if that is it.
**EDIT** Just tried ADW, and it does not do what I was talking about in my original post, unless it also has some settings somewhere that I just can't find.

Ask this so called friend?

on JH3 with TwLauncher the screens can be moved around with your finger. the one with the HOME icon on it represents your home screen

But it's not looking like the default home screens like hers does. I just will wait for her to let me know what she has loaded to have it like that.

I use zeam. It does that and looks stock.

Can you explain a little more? What are you looking for it to have?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Well at the bottom of the homescreen there is like a taskbar that has four apps . Gtalk, dialer, browser ,and email. I want to personalize the apps to stuff that I use more. Like market, sms, etc.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

To change the bottom dock you can download a different launcher from the market. I'd recommended Launcher Pro, or ADW. I personally recommend Launcher Pro. You can customize the homescreens and the dock itself.

Hey thanks, launcher pro did the trick! I wanted the 3d app drawer so that worked out very well!!

It's pretty much using the Gingerbread Launcher as a base rather than Froyo. It's odd though, even if you're not using it as your main launcher when you uninstall anything the launcher crashes.
I've experienced this on CM7 as well as EC05.

There is nothing that can match GO Launcher EX.I used them all and this is the best one followed by Zeam launcher.

+1 ADW Launcher EX is by far my favorite home replacement. I love the hidden dockbar. This beta a is not good... At all. They'll fix it before long, I'm sure.

Dumb question, but how do you activate/deactivate the hidden dockbar? I have had this as my home replacement but haven't been able to figure that out....

If you want to enable/disable, go Settings -> More -> ADWSettings -> UI Settings -> Dockbar
If you want to use it, swipe up from bottom of screen to bring up hidden dockbar, swipe down from top of hidden dockbar to hide it.
I always lock my desktop (especially after customizing either dockbars) b/c if I don't I always end up screwing up my dockbars by dragging icons off of them. Some launchers have dockbar launching icon which is handy, but the only thing I don't like is that it doesn't look like you can edit it or move it.

Move your finger down on the dock i believe just swipe down....
To get back to normal dock swipe up...

I set mine up to open/close with the home button.

Why does everyone like GO launcher so much? The themes are awful

Best latest launcher?

What is the best latest launcher available? I'm tired of launcher pro and the other launchers.

For some reason I love my launcher7. It is simple and because I don't like horizontal scrolling.

Go launcher is really good and its free to. Alot of customization and there are some nice themes available. If you don't mind shelling out a few bucks awd launcher is nice to. There's also a free version of it out so you can give it a whirl. Try some and pick your fav.

ADW EX is fantastic, you can customize it any way you want and it's super smooth

Go launcher is awesome...its free..but I think its better than any other paid launcher...

im sticking with my launcher pro plus

zeam launcher for me, the lowest memory usage among all others with almost all features present (only missing thing is scrollable widgets)

.........Bingo!

Just downloaded it! I was using launcher Pro and it was so slow! Amazon has a free Organizer app, today only, that goes well with Go Launcher. I'm glad I bought this xda forum apparently otherwise I wouldn't have found this

you got Go launcher? I've been wanting to try out other launchers, but launcher pro has all my home settings and everything is perfect so idk if i'd want to change unless if the launcher was just AMAZING.

ADW launcher serves me just fine.

It may be me misunderstanding. I'm thinking of using the stock launcher with a different rom,.You download the launcher just like any other app then click on ot to install it. Its on here in either the Razr M forum or the Android apps forum. I can't remember its been a while since i downloaded it.

I tried using apex and it was pretty laggy. Nova is a lot better so far but one out of maybe every 30 times I exit a app to go to the homescreen the motoblur stock launcher appears instead of nova until I go to a new screen. Kinda Annoying. Any idea how to fix?
Can I change the color of the status bar icons like the battery, signal strength and time? without root?

Well yeah nova IMO is a little smoother but apex has free gestures. And no idea about ur launcher problem never heard of that before sorry. And ugh the only way I know of to do it is metamorph which requires root. You can try super status bar. I Know it allows custom layout of items in the bar with a change of color per user preference but not sure on the icons. Try it out
