Background:
Ok so...all because I wanted stupid Honeycomb theme (worth it BTW...well more-less worth it)
I backed up my homescreens (only the data, because im dumb and didn't do data+apk)
I used ADW Launcher EX as my launcher....so it backed up that data
The launcher built into Typhoons rom just so happened to be EX Launcher...(NO EX)
Main
I restored my data without having EX installed....:-( now im having issues
Firstly for some reason I didn't have market so I downloaded market, and downloaded the new market and reinstalled ADW Launcher EX
Now when I press home screen it asks which to do the task, either Launcher or Launcher EX
Launcher: Has none of my homescreens right (of course because backup is for EX)
Launcher EX: Has
Now I could just use EX which has my homescreens pretty much right and just reinstall my APKs and it would replace the default icons
Now if I use (and restart)
Launcher: It has no dock icons, (so..pretty less-than functional)
Launcher EX: Has dock icons and such...just some "problem loading widget" but thats solved by reinstalling apps from marketplace)
Now I would love to just use Launcher EX, but 2 issues....Whenever I restart the analog clock thats installed with the rom shows "problem loading widget" each time
I have to long press delete and re-place it
Also do you think the other ADW Launcher is effecting the EX version?
Did I mess something up by restoring backup, which had ADW Launcher EX
Is there a way I can uninstall ADW Launcher manually..and reinstall ADW Launcher EX and it be the sole, and maybe it will do right?
I hope I explained....well I think I may have confusingly over explained?
What should be my next action?
Reinstall the rom and start from scratch?....then what steps do I take this time to not get to this same point? (apparently something had to be wrong, because market was not installed for some reason)
figure it out....think thats my best advice ATM

I restored my Sense data and in place of my battery widget this popped up. I'm afraid to remove it because I think it's cool lol.
Hmm. I just replicated it with ADW by adding the power control widget and making it 1x1 in size. A little hard to use, though.

I have this as well i want to reflash but i dont want to lose it and that guy said he used ADW what and where is that I look in the market place there a 100's of apps saing ADW
This thread is ALL the way back from JULY lol how are you guys finding these posts
btw ADW launcher (see link HERE) is just that, a launcher. It's the launcher that comes standard with CM6. Which you can also download from the market.
anytime i search for adw or launcher pro, i always add "-theme"
that should get rid of MOST of the themes.
adw launcher -theme
launcher pro -theme
Looks pretty cool.
Hey guys,
I am currently experimenting with different launchers. I got 3 installed right now.
HTC Sense which comes with MDJ Revolution 2.3 rom. Go Launcher, and ADW Launcher EX (which I am actually using right now).
I already used home switcher, ADW is set as default, but Go Launcher keeps loading after every reboot. Is there a simple way to disable go launcher. I don't want to manually switch to ADW every time I reboot.

If ADW EX launcher is installed to sd that would be a reason as to why your phone doesn't start up with it first. Just move it to phone if it is in sd, and things should work now.
Is there an easy way to replace ADW with a different launcher (Zeam, LP, GO Launcher, etc)?
I know when I replaced it on my EVO, the Sense launcher still ran in the background - and that's my concern with my CM7/nook/sd build. That I'll install one of the other launchers, but ADW will still be chugging away in the background.
Is there a way to completely replace it? Easily?
Don't delete it. I did that once.
Easiest solution: remove all Widgets from ADW. Install replacement launcher. Allow ADW to stay in the background. It'll use little resources.
annnd if your replacement browser were ever to crash, ADW will be there.
Running phiremod 6.2 which came with adw.I prefer adw ex.I just clear the defaults for adw and stop it from running in manage apps.

If you are afraid of rooting but don't like the Kindle launcher there is a simple thing you can do to get a custom launcher without rooting and voiding your warranty
1. Download Applanet from http://www.applanet.net/ to your Kindle. That app lets you install 4rd party applications without rooting, and you can use it to install other apps you can't get on the Amazon Appstore
(Make sure the option to allow the installation of unknown applications from the settings)
2. Open Applanet and search for ADW Launcher EX (Normal ADW launcher doesn't work). Download, install and click "Done"
3. Click the Home button and you will be asked which launcher you want to use, click ADW and BOOM, you're good to go!
Now there are a few things.. Because of the screen size, icons are small and widgets are smaller, so its good to resize the widgets to fit the screen, but at least you have the launcher, a real app drawer, widgets, etc. Happy Using!
Is this even possible?
I have read a wiki from adw but there is no such info there
the stuff that I want to do is that I dont want to have any desktop, when I press back I want to see the app launcher with all of its apps and when I unlock the phone I dont want to see the wallpaper/desktop I just want to have the app list
I know there are orhter launchers that can do so, but Is this possible with adw launcher?
ty
It isn't possible with ADW or ADW EX
You can install a launcher that offers this feature and delete ADW with an app like titanium
But i guess Miui would be better for you
