Is it me, or is Launcher Pro not working right on this phone? I'll set as my default, but everytime I hit the home key it keeps bringing me back to my Sense home. Errr... please don't tell me that I can't use LP.
=O does adw launcher work?
thats odd
LauncherPro is working perfectly for me! Check and be sure you made it your default.
Of course I've been setting it as the default, it's just not sticking for me. It keeps forcing me to Sense.

Uninstall it and re-install LP again, backup its settings if you'd like before uninstalling so that you can restore them after re-installing.
It's working perfectly on my end.
Works perfect here as well.
Works great on mine as well.
Working with no issues.

Clear the defaults of HTC Sense and hit home again. It should prompt you for the home default.
adw launcher works perfectly as well...
Finally got it to work. Thanks guys!

Anything particular that you had to do to get it work correctly, beyond what was suggested in this thread?
Also, I didn't want to create a new thread for this, but I just got back form the TMO store where I looked at the MT4G and the G2. Trying to decide if either is a good replacement for my Droid 1. Obviously, I'll be waiting for full permanent root on both before buying.
If you install LP or ADW, how much of that awful UI on the MT4G is removed/covered?
Random side note, on their live G2s, all the screens hung from the body when the phone was held upside down. Is that normal? All the G2 I've looked at are like that, but they've always been demo models and have been handled by who knows how many people.
No problems for me either
works FINE for me with no problems whatsoever! ADW launcher, now that is another story....very buggy on mine!
LP seems to work fine on my end even after last nights OTA update to 2.2.1

Nope, just remove/clear your preferred launcher, hit home, check the box to remember default, them select LP as your launcher.

Um, all of it. That's the whole point in installing a replacement - you choose to use one or another.

I think they're all like that, just how the hinge mechanism works, but you're probably never gonna holds it like that anyway during normal use. However, that would keep me from buying (prefer candybars anyway). Very happy w/the Glacier, though the battery kind sucks on mine.

Is it just me, or is this new Facebook (on EVO running stock Froyo OTA) causing pretty serious wake-lock issues? If I look at battery history in Spare Parts it shows that it has a partial wake-lock for almost the entire time that my phone has been booted, which is causing the phone to sleep very little...draining the battery very fast. I do have the automatic update disabled, but have the widget on a homescreen. Can anyone else corroborate this?

Installed just fine on CM6 for me. It fixes the CM6 native sync issue, so no more hacked Facebook.apk needed! Oh, and it still isn't anywhere near as nice as the iPhone version. All of the notifications open in the browser, and you don't have as many options in the main menu. Even the BlackBerry version is better.
It is nice, I'm happy, the old FB was trash. Still a long way to go to catch the iPhone but its a good start.

Anyone care to weigh in on their experiences?
I decided to go an make this a list of Blur-less ROMS with links. While most of these have homes other than XDA, I tried to put both the XDA thread link and the "home" link.
Since we are discussing here... I always wanted to know what was the reason you could not remove BLUR??
I mean.. I know the phone wouldn't boot if you removed it WITHOUT a acceptable replacement.
Like I know I removed HTC Sense UI back in the before time and my phone boot looped because I didn't have a another Launcher to replace it with... could this be the same thing?? Could we remove BLUR apps as long as we have a acceptable replacement??
EX. Remove Blur Dialer and replace with Dialer One...or remove Blur Home and replace with LauncherPro....

I'm personally on RubixFocused 0.5 and think it's just great. But I would like to know if some of the others would be worth trying, or if they are all more or less the same.
I know of these ROMS:
1 - Tranquility (Are all of the current ROMS based off of this one?)
2 - Rubix
3 - zapX (Tempted to try this one just because of the name )
4 - Apex

Nice question.
To me the Theme/Rom's do seem very similar.They for the most part delete or freeze a lot of the "blur" packages.
The statement by most chefs is "It's faster". OK how much faster then a 2.2 OTA,rooted, 928Droid themed phone???
Is the boot time "way" faster .Do apps activate in split seconds???
EDIT: Flash Fixed
I hesitate to try the Theme/Roms because most seem to have glitches like "Flash not fully functioning so that I can view weather and radar maps ,as an example.
Zapx does peak my interest though....
I've said it in 2 other forums. The zapX rom is awesome. Its the fastest I've used and I have had just about all of them. To me its about how fast everything reacts. From opening the app drawer, tilting the phone, to activating the camera, which you all know typically takes 4 or 5 seconds. With zapX all of it is almost instantaneous. That's my 2 cents for what its worth.
And by the way. I've had no problems with flash on zapX, only issue was with weatherbug and it was fixed by the creator within a day...

I prefer ApeX. Nearly 100% AOSP. It's the closest thing yet..
I just went from zapX to Apex, to me Apex is snappier, and boots up faster.
they are all pretty much the same but zapX seems to be a little slower than the rest for some reason.
You know you can optimize your apks with xUltimate and essentially your stock ota will be just as snappy.

Here is a thread on a new AOSP Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808793
I was thinking about giving Apex a try this weekend. Now I'm kinda looking forward to this & the next Rubix.
I updated OP with a list and Links to the ROMS. If I've missed any, please let me know and I'll add them.
I am really loving this upgrade and for the first time I am considering putting away my iphone and using ONLY the Streak. Being I have 2 phone numbers and everyone knows the number on my iphone, I will forward those calls to the Streak and when I want to go lite, I will UN-forward and carry the iphone ..
I have the Mugen extended and got several days out of the battery. Something in 2.2 is sucking the battery life, I will have to go 'vampire hunting' but in the meanwhile .. I would call it a blessing to get 24 hours out of the Mugen. Nothing worse that having carry charging accessories everywhere you. I usually end up forgetting my charger somewhere ..
I also like the new mail program. It checks gmail and hotmail besides checking pop accounts.
RAMBLE-RAMBLE .. I don't know if I like the "launcher." I forget what it is called. Will probably use ADW unless I can get used to Dells. I can't figure out how to get it back now that I made ADW default .. Anyone know how ??
Is everyone happy like I am? Mostly it was a big relief because I always wondered if the Betas would get updates, after all .. we are Dell's Redheaded Step Children .. No support .. No warranty ..
To get the launcher go to settings > applications > manae applications. Go to adw launcher and click clear defaults. Also do the same for dell launcher. Now when you press home it will ask you what launcher to use.

Having a hard time trying to edit those pages ... For example the contacts page/menu .. How do I remove one? Or how do I stop it from checking the weather. I see how to add things, but removing ?? Can't do it ..
I found in "accessibility" you can set your power button to hang up the phone. LOVE THAT !!! For me, nothing is more frustrating than not being able to hang up the phone IMMEDIATELY .. You know .. talking to your boyfriend when your husband sneaks up on you .. Just kidding !!!

I prefer to just look out the window or step outside. I am in Florida and hot or cold it is ALWAYS humid with a chance of rain !!
I love my Streak with 2.2! Not sure about the Stage yet. I think I will mostly use the LauncherPro (I like the way it looks/runs better than ADW.Launcher). Also, I recommend installing the Home Switcher to easily go back and forth between different launchers.
I can't remember if I ever tried LauncherPro and don't think I ever knew about Launcher Switcher . Thanks.
Anyone having problems with their Streak shutting off since the upgrade? I am and I don't think it is a battery door thing. I will check again though.
Did you by chance do a factory reset right after the upgrade? I did and I haven't had any shutdown issues so far.
Sorry to ask, just a few steps above android newbie, how do I do a reset ?? Is it in Settings? I forget ..
FOUND IT >..
Screenshots please
Hi fellow Streakers. I haven't been able to update, but would like to see a ton of screenshots. Just so I can see how good everything is. Has text message word size changed any?
I really should have just reset on my own because I noticed lots of apps running all the time and battery usage was A LOT .. I just hate adding things again like email accounts blah blah blah .. But a clean system is a happy system.

Sounds like Fishing for an OMG to me (The Club)
can you guys show side by side screen shots of the launchers? I don't mind the stage. All I did was delete the widgets that come up on default, like Dell's mouthpiece Amy-B suggested. For those that don't know, I took the link to 0100, manually entered it into my streak, it did the download, and started the install. Once it did, had a hard time with some of the previous settings putting me into a boot loop/force close with the google calendar so I did a factory reset and all was good. The dell backup tool helped a lot with my previous apps, but I have noticed a lot of force closes, but I believe that's due to versions of apps that were specific to 1.6.
oh and here's a bit of funny. On Dell's community forum, I made a suggestion that I should talk to all the streakers I know and see if there is a class action suit to be had here, and they deleted my post and sent me a "we removed your post for yada yada yada language and violation of terms". I got my morning laugh over that one!
I think I found my PERFECT launcher .. It's called Zeam and it is free. Seems like a combination of a few launchers.

My cousin had a Droid 2 R2D2. I have a Samsung Epic 4g. I was going to show him launcherpro to see if he wanted to use that instead of blur. But he ended up just wanting the blur launcher back. So I went to Settings>applications>manage applications> running, clicked launcherpro, and I couldn't hit the Clear Default button. The only way I could get him back to blur was to uninstall lp. This does the same with adw too. Why is that? When I had adw and lp installed at the same time, I hit the home button and those were the only two options available to set as default. Again, I'm not used to blur, I'm used to touchwiz. I aso tried Home switcher for froyo, to no avail.
Sent from my always stock, froyo Epic
I couldn't tell you why they do that but try Homesmack from the market to set blur as default while another launcher is installed.

Anyone have any tips that I could use to make my Android/Atrix experience better.
Any tips?
*Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Oh sorry, didn't see it. Don't need to swear at me.
Here is my tip from my shallow experience with the phone and android.
1. do factory reset after your phone has been fully charged to 100% for 4hours-ish while its turned off
2. get before update root
3. update to 1.57
4. do the post update root
5. get titanium backup pro and go to the freeze the applications under the safelist.
6. get an launcher (I bought launcherpro plus, but i think just launcherpro is just as good... because the only major perks i've noticed was the launcherpro widgets and widget resizing)
7. freeze the motoblur home(after installing another launcher like lpp)
8. download screengrabber app (it works on rooted phone and I like using it, you may not need a screen capture program)
9. do the webtop mod if you want to try it. you need android sdk first to do adb commands. (I tried it to see how lapdock would feel like and I found it pretty good)
I love launcher pro, as it looks so nice!!! 3d app drawer and home screen flipping animations, and overall so many settings you can customize. (# of app row, column etc)

No need to be so hostile... There has been alot of hate on the forum lately. I know it gets annoying when the new users start asking questions that can be found by searching. But, you have two sensible choices: 1. give them some tips so they know what to search for, or 2. don't reply to thread and let the thread die off...

if you dont need stuff like email, calendar and contacts updated to the minute its a good idea to disable this feature in settings and with titanium backup. theres a big thread in the dev section about what apps from att that are safe to freeze with titanium. this alone will significantly increase your battery life.

and if you're feeling real brave??.... You could root the **** out of it and flash gingerblur or gladiatrix or the newest rom greyblur!! Im about to flash greyblur right now!
If you want a gingerbead look to your phone, as well as getting rid of the hideous white notification bar, you should try out GingerBlur, a pseudo-rom for the Atrix.
GrayBlur has also been released, which I'll be trying out shortly.
Get a launcher. If you have the money (15$) I would buy SPB Shell. That is one amazing launcher. Or just get one of the many others like ADW, Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, etc.
If you want to tether (data plan required), go to the dev section to get the tethering APN for mobile hotspot.
Install Tenfar's custom bootstrap recovery. Allows you to flash ROMs.
Install the Amazon App market. A free paid app a day (games too).
And last but not least: check out the themes section. Lots of cool themes and boot images.

If you want a gingerbead look to your phone, as well as getting rid of the hideous white notification bar, you should try out GingerBlur, a pseudo-rom for the Atrix.
GrayBlur has also been released, which I'll be trying out shortly.
Get a launcher. If you have the money (15$) I would buy SPB Shell. That is one amazing launcher. Or just get one of the many others like ADW, Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, etc.
If you want to tether (data plan required), go to the dev section to get the tethering APN for mobile hotspot.
Install Tenfar's custom bootstrap recovery. Allows you to flash ROMs.

You'll have to side load it. you can enable that by running glad root.
Then, download the apk from amazon, put it on your phone, and install
Definitely worth it

Yeah as long as you reinstall amazon appstore all the time with it and I was reading that the appstore is kind of a form of spyware and require too much info from the user.
Uninstall appstore and you'll see. I had angry birds rio and a few others for free. I uninstalled the appstore and then my apps just stopped working! I heard this would happen but didnt believe it! But it is 100% true! Which like I said sucks!
How do I disable MotoBlur using TiBu?
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Get GO Launcher EX. It's so much smoother than stock, you'll love it. I just returned to it after using LauncherPro Plus for a few weeks. Features on LauncherPro are great, but it had some stability issues for me, and GO Launcher is MUCH smoother and consistent for me. There are a lot of themes for it as well.
