If you do this, can you go back to AWD? I have never tried Launcher and thought that I would give it a try....
Thanks in advance!

ADW and LauncherPro (which I think is the best launcher) are both available in the market for free.
Oh, and just in case you didn't know, Launcher2 is the default Froyo launcher. Its what the Nexus One uses. You can make LauncherPro look just like it if you want and its WAY faster than Launcher2.

If you are using Ti Backup, you can just Freeze ADW and use Launcher Pro. Then you don't lose it.
No need to freeze. Just install LauncherPro and when you hit the Home button, it will ask you which Launcher you wanna use.

Thanks for the advice. I am currently running the LauncherPro and like it. It is pretty nice. My phone is acting a little funny and has been all day. I updated from kaos v30 to v32 this morning. v30 was my first mod (coming from the ota 2.1).
ADW kept on failing.... so now on the LP and it seems more stable. It has failed twice and I had to restart.... I am not sure what is causing this, I hope that it settles down soon.

Hey guys, I found a nasty little bug that has made my epic unusable. Basically if you have all your home screen pages filled up and decide to create a shortcut of an app (in this case it was dolphin browser) from inside the app, Touch Wiz will crash no matter how many time you reboot the phone. All other programs work just fine, however touchwiz will without fail crash. I am trying to find a way around this without reflashing but it looks like that is my only option. Be warned everyone EB13 is not ready for prime time.
Edit: Found a quick work around, just install launcher pro from the market and hit the home button and switch your launcher to launcher pro. Now can anyone tell me how to switch back?
So why not use something other than tw? Why would you load up that many icons on 7 pages? Home Switcher from market...

I didnt I had 3 full pages. Also turns out even turning off touchwiz and switching back to it ruins it. Also not the appropriate place for this but isn't possible to add more homescreens to launcher pro. But thankyou for the advice.

Yes you can add screens to launcherpro by hitting (from launcherpro) menu>preferences>homescreen settngs. To fix touchwiz, hit menu>settings>applications>all, scroll down to TWlauncher cick it, and clear everything.

Sounds like a bug in Touchwiz, not Froyo.
Thank you XDA for helping me through what was pretty much me over reacting.
I would really urge you to play around with Launcher Pro for a while. Try the different settings and see what they all do. I can't imagine using Touchwiz now. I love the way launcherpro both looks and works.

Try hitting menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all.
Find twlauncher and clear data and cache. It will likely blow out anything you had on you screens but may allow you to use it again if that's what you are looking for.

TW is for folk who want their phone to feel more iOSish, and if that's what they want, meh. More power to 'em.
I used LP for a long time, but am giving Go Launcher a whirl these days. I kinda like it even more, but...
Ugh, Launcherpro has THE BEST agenda widget on Android. No free widget I've tried even comes close. Really frustrating.

Meh - LP is pretty good but I suspect most people don't use most of the options, making it kind-of big. I haven't found a better option though. It's pretty darn good.
I use LauncherPro, and I have long since deleted both TouchWiz an the stock launcher from the /system/apps/ folder. It frees up a bit of space.

GO Launcher EX ran fast on my non-rooted Atrix. There are a lot of settings for GO Launcher and I just set all the transitions to the fastest settings and it ran fine. I didn't notice any lag at all. I'm rooted now and I'm still using GO Launcher EX.
In fact I'm using all their add-ons for SMS, Dialer, Weather, Score, etc and they all run pretty fast on the Atrix.

When you installed the launcher, did you remove all the widgets you had on the stock launcher? If you didn't, they'll still be there running even when you use a new launcher. Remove everything then add the new launcher and set it up the way you like. Should be a lot smoother.
Also, have you tried Zeam? It's fairly minimal but quick.

It's a strong possibility.
Since my Galaxy S, I've stopped using all running widgets.
Actually come to think of it, all my current icons are shortcuts which is probably why Launcher Pro runs as smooth as butter for me...

Root, flash GladiAtrix 3, then use ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro. I use both. You will see a significant speed increase.

same as post above, golauncher is just as good if not better than lp plus, and its free. no brainer
Is there any new fast launcher that looks good on the atrix lately?

This is exactly how I feel. I liked some of the additional options like different swiping styles etc, but they weren't that important.
This stock one is awesome with folder, the new of moving widgets around and how smooth it is that I just kept it.

I am using ADW for 3 reasons:
- customizable rows-columns grid (I need it because I use Desktop Visualizer)
- dock
- shortcut in the top-left corner of the screen which I use for Screen off and Lock (very useful because it's not always convenient to use the power botton which is on the back of the tablet)
I have been on Team EOS nightlies until 2 days ago and it was very smooth, but it had some FC.
Now I am trying Team Rogue's CM9 and it seems even more fluid and no FC until now.
However I also tested Go Launcher (terrible), Trebuchet (see above + not enough fluid), Nova (the best one, but not optimized for tablets, I'll test it again later).
So ADW now, but I'm looking forward to Nova's updates
Im OK with eos far.
I wanna look into NOVA too. Apparently it modifies the stock launcher or something?

Tried Launcher Pro but its laggy with ICS. Nova works great for me.
Stock ICS launcher for me. ICS launcher = everything wrong with the stock Honeycomb launcher FIXED plus some added goodies thrown in for good measure. I tried ADW on NC but never had the patience to set it up exactly the way I wanted it.
Stock here, but I'm probably going to attempt to put Trebuchet on my ICS Xoom soon.

ADW has worked smoothly for me on TeamEOS ICS roms - sticking with it for now.
Hey all. I'm currently running SparksCo's v1.1 Stable rom (CM 7.2.0) and everything is great except the lag/stutter I experience when swiping between home screens.
After using ADW for months, I said enough is enough and I am currently using Zeam Launcher, but there still is a slight hesitation/stutter after exiting an app. Miui is buttery smooth 100% of the time and even various Sense roms seem to have consistently smoother transitions than anything i've experienced on vanilla/lightly modified CM roms.
So if anybody has any recommendations, i'm all ears (or rather, eyes). Thanks!

Not to mention that it is the only commonly used thrid-party Launcher without spyware. Moreover, since the "devs" for Go launcher and Launcher Pro simply steal all of their code from Anderwebs, if ADW has issues for you, so will these.
Stick with ADWEX and play with the settings until smooth. If you run any Go products, cyou might as well write you credit card number on Tiananmen square, because all your personal info, pictures, etc, will be sent to China.
