it looks like beautful widgets to me, the smaller home widget to be precise

I keep mine pretty simple. Just my kid, a clock, and dock. I didn't bother to show the other screens because it is just launcher pro widgets.

Something I did from scratch. Icons are from dreamflye (or how ever its spelled). I was inspired by his dock, I liked it but it didn't fit what I was going for. So I did my own. I've been toying with releasing it.

Yeah dude...you should release it. If noone else uses it...I sure will!

PM me your contact info and your color preference and I will send it to you. I can't really send the icons yet because they are not my work, but I will be doing some of my own in the future (text icons are easy). I can maybe do a small request of icons if you let me know.
I am working on getting the some variations done before I release it (Tab on left, right, or center). I kind of want to release a bunch of variations so people can pick what they like. And I probably need to do some icons (at least the basics).

droid 2, epic 2.5, modified stock theme

Hey faceless, you wanna' post your dock icons? I like the extended right tab a lot (and I'm also too lazy to make my own unless I really have to )

ADW.Launcher 2 beta

For those interested. I dont use adw myself.

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

Sense based customizable (adw-launcher pro) launcher

Pretty much I'm asking. Is there a launcher that is like adw and launcher pro but is compatible with sense widgets.
I've been looking but not finding.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

There isn't one. Sense, including the widgets, is proprietary to HTC and they are very quick to sue when it comes to their property. There are some skins available that make use of the google apps, calendar and music, that work well with LauncherPro. I've used Pure Music Widget by francois Deslanders and it has a nice transparent 4x4 widget.

Sad face...
Hmm I see the issue. No one would wanna do that work for free. Thx for quick response.

I've seen and tried some of the things you pointed out. But I guess I'm really just trying to make use of my sense rom. I'm using launcher pro and I love it but not being able to you the weather widget has always bugged me.

Beautiful Widgets has almost the exact same weather/clock widget as HTC, plus hundred of others to choose from. Only problem I ever had with it is it gets my location wrong sometimes.

Thx I've looked into beautiful widgets but I'm talking about the full screen weather widget the one with the forcast.
The reason I was asking was mainly because of the resizing of widgets in these launchers.

Yeah it only has a 4x1 weather widget which kind of sucks. Launcher Pro does allow resizing but it just keeps the same 4x1 widget and enlarges it to about 4x2 and it doesn't look good.

Cool so I just got done trying out the go weather app. Its not bad but I only really like it because of the live wallpaper.
But for that same reason It's not what I'm looking for. I do appreciate the idea. Oh well still looking.
I guess what I'm really looking for is that sense 4x4 forcast widget on one of my launcher pro screens. (I know not possible lol)

Wow.....

Why is my HD2 not this cool???

definitely interested in knowing!

...looks really amazing. Would like to try this new UI too. But didn't find any information over it, what launcher this could be.
Hope someone can enlighten us very soon

I'm guessing it's a combination of stuff, and not actually made into a rom.
For example, https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture&feature=search_result and https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free

This 3d efffect he uses in his video you can get if you use "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper" as already posted in combination with e.g launcher pro.
in multipicture live wallpaper you have to use:
- transition type: 3D Rotation
in lauchner pro:
- preferences->homescreen settings->transition effect: Flip2
also ensure, that you have:
- preferences->Appearance settings->Disable wallpaper scrolling: unchecked
For users that want to use their device in landscape only this is a very nice combination..in portrait it looks very awful in my opinion

WOW

Haha that's 100% correct, you xda guys sure are on the ball!! ..except I used AWD EX launcher the task bar at the bottom/ swipe hiding was built into CM7, btw do you guys know how to get an "app organizer" that organizes in categories IN the actual app scrolling menu? That's the last bit of my 100% customization missing

I think the closest you'll get to actual app drawer organizing would be to sort the apps in groups on ADW launcher. It has the option to create and edit groups in the app drawer, and choose which one to view. I've never seen anything that allows you to put your apps into folders within the app drawer, which has never made sense to me since it would be so much more convenient. Thats the one thing that WM still has over Android imo.

wow, very nice that

What music player is that? It looks pretty cool.

With this drawer you can create folders.
....at least you can see that on the pictures. Unfortunately I'm not able to download it in my region.
It is a free app, could s.o. download it and share it here?

ADW EX Updated!

ADW EX has been updated today with a lot of fixes and options for Tablets including having the dock on the bottom in landscape and many more! There are tons of fixes for Honeycomb tablets especially for 10" screens. If you are an ADW EX user, but found it too buggy before, it night be good for you now! You can also set the secondary dock as the default which has scrolling like launcher pro.

fantastic update! Been eagerly anticipating this
Note to any noobs like me - backup your layout. It doesn't transfer over to the updated app and now I have to set it up from scratch :S

Niice! Thanks for letting us know, I had no idea. I've been missing ADW Ex since I updated to 1.7.. And the new additions to it sound great.
EDIT: What is the new version number? The online market still says 1.3.3.

im new to this, love the speed of the scrolling screen when i had a quick play. but looking for advice
i want a clean home screen with none of the + signs, adecent weather /time/date widget and app shortcuts same size as stock
what are people using for this sort of things decent add on recomendations would be great

How to change apperiance of main black dock? I can change only bar with 5 blank spots..not this bar for tablets.. Any ideas?

My new homescreen

Ok, now that looks clean. I love not having those icons all over the screen. If this is from ADW, I'm tempted.

Only wish that we could put things all the way to the edge of the screen, with the dockbar. Can only do it without, and that's annoying too.

Is there a good way to set wallpapers with ADW? I keep getting a half black half wallpaper result.
Thanks in advance.
