Its a Home replacement app. Its called ADW EX. It replaces your Home screen and u can customize it any way u want. And I'm also using Honeycomb Clock. Its in the market.
The rom I use is Salvage Rom.
Its Gingerbread based.

Ok. Well you start off by making ADW EX your default launcher. Then go to ADW settings. From there you go to the second set of settings called "UI settings". Here are my settings:
* Main dock - None
* Desktop columns - 7
* Desktop rows - 7
* Hide status bar
* animation effect - 2
That's basically all the settings I changed.
Now go to the market and download:
* Honeycomb Clock Free
* Minimalistic text
* Adw gingerbread icon pack/ADW green icon pack
* Glass widgets
Now you're ready to set up your home page.
You start off with nothing on your page. Them you hold the screen to add a widget. Choose the following Widgets:
* Honey comb clock
* Glass Widgets
You might have to add the 3 glass Widgets that come with the download if you want.
Now, turn your phone into landscape mode and try to resize the Widgets as neatly as you can. Not too big or not too small.
You can resize a widget by holding it and then pressing Edit.
When you're done adding the Widgets, go to your app drawer and select a few apps you want for your homescreen.
I only chose 3:
Phone
Music
Xda
Those are my only apps on the screen.
Now, here is the hard part.
If you want the "apps | +" icon on the corner, you need to make it with the app called Minimalistic text.
You press the screen to add a widget and then you select minimalistic text 1x1.
Then you go to the settings and change the following:
* Unchecked the background so it can be transperant.
* on the Layout section, click on Custom...
Then go back and chose "Custom Layout"
Here you will hold the little boxes one at a time and drag them down untill you see a trash can. You delete all three untilled there is no box to choose.
One your boxes are deleted, press the little green circle to add a box.
Now look at the grey section and click on Misc .
One you click Misc, look for Static text and hold it until you can drag it up back to the space where u once had 3 boxes. Now click on Static Text and a window will pop up where u will enter this:
Apps | +
Once you do that, press ok and go back to the Minimalistic text settings.
Now look for the Text Style and choose "non-accented".
Here you will choose the font color and size:
Sans-Serif
Bold
18 dip
* Now choose color of choice and go back and save.
That is now your icon widget.
Last thing is to go to Google to look for aa Honeycomb wallpaper.
Look for one and customize your homescreen to whatever u want .
If you want to make the "apps" icon to open your app drawer, go to the mmarket and download "advanced app drawer"
Now go to your home and tap on the "apps | +" and you will see a menu.
Go all the way down until you see
"Start another activity"
Check the box and the go to "select activity"
Now look for Advanced app drawer and choose it. Noe save and exit.
Now when u click on "apps | +", your app drawer will open.
If you need help, pm me

I just switched from sense to Launcher Pro Beta, and I must say that it is amazing... It's just so much more predictable and useful, not to mention faster and smoother. On top of that, from what I have heard, it is great for battery life, just switched so I haven't had a chance to test that out yet.
If you haven't given it a shot yet, download it from the market and try it out, I promise you will not regret it. Its MUCH better than sense. I never had a problem with sense, but I just figured Id try something new, and it paid off...
P.S Does anybody know if the new software patch that came out today will be included in any of the developers roms? I'm not to sure how that stuff works.
ADW.Launcher is also a worthy alternative, imo. Very customizable.

There should be an updated DamageControl out tonight built off the OTA.
And yes, LauncherPro is definitely the best launcher that I've used! I love it!
I downloaded this from the market to try it out but it doesn't look like anything has changed. How do I switch to it and possibly back?

Press the Home key, and you should get an option to select between HTC Sense, Launcher, and LauncherPro. If that doesn't work, just download Home Switcher from the Market.

There we go, thank you.
I loved the extra speed and how the shortcuts were laid out. I also liked that you didnt have to have the writing under each icon. BUT I missed my full screen calendar, toggle widgets, etc. So Im back to sense. I dont have access to these when using a different launcher. Am I doing something wrong?

You can't use HTC widgets outside of the Sense launcher. However, there are replacement widgets in the Market for almost everything you are missing. For example, Pure Grid Calendar Widget and Weather & Toggle Widgets.

I played around with it after that post, but just couldnt get it how I wanted it AGAIN. So Im back to sense haha. I really need 6 icons on the dock at the bottom to avoid extra icons on my home screen. I also wanted a 4G toggle to match the rest, and that doesnt seem to be out. The only one out (that I could find) is a light bulb..

You know with LauncherPro you can change it to 5 rows of icons (20 total) on the screen at once, right? You can potentially have 28 more slots than with Sense.

Im talking about JUST the dock at the bottom. Not shortcuts added to the screen itself. Right now I have the rosie bar at the bottom that launches my app drawer/phone/etc. Then I have 4 icons above it. Handcent, Gmail, Internet and People. With LauncherPro I can have all 4 of those on the dock, but then the 5th spot is taken by either the app drawer or phone. I want both. I know you can do the scroll thing, but its not the same. I just like a simple look and wanted everything I have now on my HOME screen.
Here is the setup now. I want all of the same access on the home screen, and it cant be done with LauncerPro. 5 short cuts on the dock and then a random widget on the screen just wouldnt look as clean.

ADW.Launcher works pretty good.
A few things I like:
- You can make as many columns and rows of Icons as you want per screen (up to 8 x 8, so that would be 64 icons per screen).
- Swipe down anywhere on a screen to make the top bar come down

why should i have used photoshop?
you can do it by yourself...
first of all do a nandroid backup... just for security
install adw.launcher and launcherpro.
Select adw.launcher as home default (you can use home switcher to set it)
go to http://circle.glx.nl/ , chose the things as you want and at the Status bar notification page select "Personalize notification status bar (for HTC Desire roms only)"
select "Statusbar (text color will not be changed)" and on background put the second option putting 000000 (black) as color and chosing the transparency as your wish... I suggest to not put full transparency, cause if you open a white app (like the market) you will not see the notification... put AT LEAST 75% transparency.
example below:
choose bootanimation and use the CM6.1.0-RC framework-res.apk on the list (or load yours)
download file and flash it.
change default home with home switcher and set it to launcherpro
for make sure that all is ok, reboot your device...
i'll wait forward for your feedback
p.s.: please note this trick will work only with live wallpapers... in my screenshot i'm using Ionic Live Wallpaper...

Hi,
I'm on DF 6.0j now and I have tried the exact methods mentioned above from UOT but could not get it to work neither on LP nor ADW. I've tried both DF6j and CM 6.1.0 RC2 framework. Appreciate your advice.
Updated to ADW latest github
I hacked up ADW launcher to have a MIUI'sih dock. It's nothing special but I kinda dig it so i figured id dump it here to share. I'm pretty sure it will only work in portrait mode because i never use landscape i didn't bother modding that source.
Thanks to Anderweb for having such a great open source project!
Thanks to Jrizzill for having such great icons!
- ADWSettings->Main Dock Style->5 Icons has been changed, to have 4 large icons as in pictures below. You must have ADWSettings->UI Settings->Dockbar checked to have swipe gesture open/close app drawer properly.
- Get icons here.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-d1-miui/88474-miui-themed-icons.html
- To open/close the app drawer, swipe the dock apps.
- To add a MIUI icon to the dock
1) long press, select custom shortcut
2) press pick your activity, press applications, select application
3) click the icon to the left of the "pick your activity" button, navigate to the one you want to use, click ok.
4) drag and drop it into the dock.
- Use desktop visualizer (1x1 small) for other desktop shortcuts.

OMG this is exactly what I've been looking for. Seriously when i switched from the Incredible to the Fascinate, the one thing I really missed was MIUI and having the large dock. I've been trying to hack launcher pro but this is great! Thank you so much.
Does this need root?
Awesome!
There are only a few bugs that I have found.
- For some reason I can't seem to trash anything on the screen :O Drag to the top of the screen and nothing happens, just reappears on the bottom.
- Sometimes when hitting the home button it forgets what apps are in the dock until I open the tray and close it.
Not sure if those have to do with the version that you compiled, or ADW itself. Anyhow not trying to get down on ya, considering this is exactly what I was looking for!
Can't wait for 2.2 MIUI!

For all those out there using blackhole rom's if you are using the embedded ADW then you can't install this for some reason. I had to reinstall a clean rom with TW and then install this APK.
EDIT:
Sorry for the double post
Glad you guys like it. I will try and fix/tweak a few things. Also will try to make it so that it can be installed side by side with stock ADW.
1) haven't had that happen with missing dock apps. try using the old dock implementation, that's the config i'm using? will mess around with it.
2) do you see the trash icon appear at the top of the screen? try and drag it all the way up to the top and drop it there. it works for me.
3) you don't need root, but if you are using some ROM with ADW pre-installed, just remove it from /system/app and drop this apk in there.

Odd, how do I implement the old dock config? Also yes the trash can appears, I drag the icon up, it turns red then it reappears at the original location just does not want me to change the setup haha
hmm weird with the delete.
make sure that this is not checked.
ADW Settings -> UI Settings -> Dockbar

Ok, found it. Still seems to have the same issue sometimes. Once in a while only 2 icons in the tray will appear in the center, until I open the app drawer then close it. Once I do that all is good again.
i updated a new build, try that one.
How do I use these icons in adw? Step by step if possible.
updated to 1.3.1 and added some instructions.
tried using desktop virtualizer to make the other icons. It works but there small. How do I make them larger. I'm using the icons in the link you provided.
Thanks
The large icons in the dock seem a bit fuzzy.Am I the only one having this problem?
I used hd icons btw
updated to latest github commits.

Hi,
You've done a fantastic job.
But can you build a version with dock bar like the dock on mac os? It should look like this image below

Please copy and paste, i do not have permission to post image here.
MIUI
icons in this launcher are bad, can you port MIUI ADW theme for this? becouse theme haves good icons from MIUI and can you made dock from MIUI(screen indicator, dock style). If this`ll complete, launcher`ll looks pretty good) thanks!
Hey there,
Why cannot be installed on Eclair 2.1?
* LE: I made a mistake, it's working now. Agree with with the fuzzy icons in the dock. And also, is there a way to increase the number of rows? I like the icons to have also their labels, and only this is how it will going to work. Thanks.
Can we change the dockbar??

I've used both (on the KF), and its hard to say. I like Go Launcher EX - well, just because. Its hard to explain these things, its like a favorite flavor of ice cream.
That said, Tested.com did a write up on the two, plus LauncherPro - you might want to check it out.*

Most weather apps have an option to use to use the internet to determin location, wont be exact but it will show the general area your in. Of course without an internet connection they wont update.

ADW Launcher widget problems
Hi all,
I recently got the Kindle Fire version 10.2.3, and installed ADW Launcher for it. This worked fine, but then a few days after installing, one of my widgets stopped displaying. I tried to remove the widget and add it again, but after removing it I couldn't get it back. When I clicked on the "widget" button to add it, nothing happened.
I tried to remedy this by updating to ADW Ex, and everything else worked fine, but again, I cannot add or alter or do anything with widgets.
When I press down on the home screen and the options pop up, all of them work, except for 'widgets'. I can see the icon, but upon pressing it nothing happens.
I have deleted and reinstalled both ADW and ADW Ex several times, and always the same happens. I don't know what to do! It's really annoying because ADW seems to be the only launcher that works with this version of the Fire. But the widgets are a central function of the launcher and I want them to work!
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!
This latest update completely re-arranged my dock/icons/folder groups.
I tried to do a restore and it made things worse. Any way to revert to the old version?

If you're rooted and did a backup using titanium backup you can restore it otherwise you can hunt it down via Google search.

What are the details on the upgrade, any wallpaper fix?

There is an option in settings to disable the dock bar completely.
That is all i noticed.
Yeah,
Latest ADW launcher EX updates just made a complete mess of my 'hubs' style homescreens setup. I'm really pissed off.
Even if they have reverted the option to disable the now-unified dock bar with the .56 update, I still have my vertically arranged 'simple text' icons shifted-off to the right (leaving a wastelando of screen realstate to the left of the tab) and the ones I had on the right hand side are completely gone! Damn!
To top that, I had a toggle icon on my homescreen linked to the "Show/Hide ActionBar" ADW action ...and that option is now completely gone! My icon does nothing and I don't find a way to hide the top action bar where the access to the ADW settings is, for example.

Bind the Show/Hide to swipe up our down and you should be good. Also, you can readd the shortcut as a custom shortcut to launcher actions.
After you do all that just to get back to the way it used to work what benefit do you get from updating to the latest version?
re: settings button
with the latest update, it's all ok apart from the settings button that it useless - here's the screen shot

When I tap my settings icon I get a little drop down menu for "(system) Settings", "ADWsettings" and "Lock Desktop"...

That is when you hide the toolbar and your custom menu in adwex is not hidden. If you try to hide some of the custom menu, in my case- I leave 3 items, that setting/menu will still show but useless.. try it and see.
I've tried to set up a wallpaper but it is cropped very bad, I can see only the upper side. I've tried MultiPicture Live Wallpaper but it makes the tablet a bit laggy. Is there a way to set a wallpaper that looks good on AdwLauncher EX?
I wish there was a third-party launcher that didn't feel like it was ported from a phone version. I like the built in google search and app drawer in the stock launcher and I'd really just like to be able to change the number of home screens.

Wow, I didn't realize ADW made the wallpaper look so different. Maybe try setting the wallpaper with another gallery app like quickpic? There's also a non-market app that's designed to set the Tab's wallpaper without hacking off the edges like the stock gallery does, but I forget what it's called.

I'm at work now and don't remember the exact setting, but I'm definitey using multiwallpaper layout with MultiPicture Live Wallpaper on my ADW-launcher EX based homscreeens. Everything is ok adfter I tweaked the ADW settings a bit and managed to understand how the multi wallpaper app works.
The above thread was a great help for me.
