Glacier launcher - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried quite a few roms on my MT4G and most of them are great. Thinking I have settled in to the royal glacier rom for everyday use for now. So my question is this... Is there a way to change the stock MT4G launch bar that appears at the bottom of the screen to the one that comes with the desire hd roms? I like the look of the rounded launch bar a little better than the square one that came with... Thanks in advance for any help...

I think I have seen Sense themes for ADW on the Market but I didn't look at any; if you want a customizable launcher anyway, I would download ADW Launcher.

What rom are u using.
I don't think it has anything to do with adw
I am using ADW EX 1.0 and don't have any issues like that... Are you using an 'auto brightness' setting or manual?
Im using cm6.1.1
..I restored to stock cm6.1.1 and still does it

Ok so I went back to normal adw launcher and it doesnt do the screen flicker! So I think its something in ex..

I've had issues with ADW EX, some were minor and others were a pain. Anyway, I honestly don't think it's adw 100% but I do think there may be some small bugs that normally are fine but under the right conditions present themselves. How do you have it installed? In /data or in /system with launcher2 (or regular adw) deleted?

Hmm, could be an issue with adw but it seems like it's being caused by another app that isn't playing well with adw ex. It happens and the only way to find out is to uninstall apps one at a time until it stops happening. Or just not use it.
Ahh man I hope I figure it out

Hey there,
I'm facing the same Issue, can you please tell me what to do ?
I use ADW 1.3.6 Standalone ...

[Q] Launcher questions...

I am trying to settle on a launcher to use with CM7. So far this is what I see.
ADW is nice but a bit laggy at times.
Zeam super fast but I cannot see how to change icons for apps.
Gingerbread launcher, can't customize the launcher or number of screens. 5 is default but I only need 3.
Thanks,
RA

Just tried Launcher Pro... pretty nice and VERY customizable. I am going to give it a few days and see if it can become my standard. Thanks for the tip. I saw a lot of people using it but REALLY wanted Zeam to work. Oh well, Android certainly does give plenty of choices.

Personally i am HUGE fan of AWDLauncher EX. I've used Zeam, LP and AWDEX and out of the three i like EX the best. Way more options than Launcher pro.

I really liked AWD but like I stated it was a bit laggy at times. I am finding launcher pro VERY smooth and also pretty configurable.

Thanks for the props. ADW is complete different than EX when it comes to speed.

Launcher pro and go launcher ex. They are the best. I switch between them frequntly because I love them so much I can't get enough of either one. Try out go launcher ex. You will be surprised.

No problems mate but to be honest why launcherpro beats adw its because launcherpro is very simple basic made not like adw too much useless tweaks if you want to try out spb mobile shell leave me a pm ill send you a vid that does a demo of the home launcher and step by step how to install the launcher

I lime adw ex. I have tried launcher pro(paid version) and it didn't seem as polished as adw. The transitions are far superior than in lp. They are smoother. I keep coming back to adw

I am using launcher pro and it works great. I love the facebook widget a lot.
Launcherpro paid version offers very smooth and sexy widgets that adw doesnt + you can resize any widget easily and as desired
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Imho, adw has become too bloated with customizations and tweaks. Too many choices makes a headache for me. Launcher pro is a bit smoother, just as tweakable without as many settings, a bit more straight forward, and has nice htc-like widgets. I like the sliding dock with custom dock skins too compared to the pop-up dock bar in adw.

I rocked launcher pro for a while but wana give adw a chance .....u know change things up ........but launcher pro IMO is prob better .......

You can resize stuff with AWD.
And for one who doesn't use Facebook nor twitter launcher pro calendar widget is rather plain looking

launcherpro plus
circle battery widget
minimalistic text widgets
launcherpro icons app
desktop visualizer
those are my mainstays for visual customizations. I also use the Minimal Magic theme with the theme chooser built into the CM7 roms.
I ended up using Adw ex, pure calendar, pure grid calendar, battstat pro, pure music player, fancy Widgets pro, SMS unread count, blue theme for cm7, and senses theme for cm7 and I'm pretty happy with it. I had beautiful Widgets before fancy Widgets but it seemed to have raped my battery so I switched

I gave it a trial run.. its kind of a memory hog and it also runs a little choppy but its not completely bad. Not sure how it will run if you're not overclocked.. it does look pretty good though. I ended up going back to Adw ex though

HTC Sense launcher

What's the HTC sense launcher which has a curved circular launcher? I see it in many screen shots posted here.
My Sense launcher is plain straight dock at the bottom.
Clueless on this one.

the HTC Gacier came with the expresso sense launcher. that i believe is just the regular one or another version of it out by htc. i had the cdma hero and that had the regular curved one.
That's for stock HTC Sense ROMs, the myTouch 4G has custom version of Sense 2.0 called mySense. Stock HTC Sense also includes the flat dock bar as well, but mySense favors the flat one and the flat one only.
Thanks guys. Are there any stock HTC sense ROMs to try out the other launcher?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Desire HD ROMs.
If you like the look of stock sense and want to use aosp Rome or even stock... try helauncher from the market. Its what I use from time to time.

But there was a curved one made (if I understand the original poster), it is in the market. Its called gingerbread launcher (try them all..it was first put out in december), and you need ADW launcher installed first. I love the effect of this too, but it is rather limited: if you want to configure the dockbar, you can only choose 2 apps (plus the app drawer)--or at least I couldn't figure out how to get any more.

Helauncher is curved. It looks exactly like stock sense.

Best launcher for Wildfire is...

Hello friends, one thread on other forum inspired me and i haven't seen anything like this here So, which launcher is best for willy in your opinion?? I'll start
LauncherPro Plus- although it is not developed anymore, it's still fastest one for me
ADW Launcher Ex - after big update in October if I remember well it is also one from fastest launchers for wildfire
What's ur choice??

Launcher Pro is best.
But older ADW Launcher EX is amazing too, sooo fast + amazing customizeable.
I use ADW 1.3.3.56
ADW 1.3.3.8 (newest) starts to lag a lil.
Oh, 2am here, time to sleep for sk00l

Hello, maybe head on to second post in my signature and download windows launcher 8. I think it has tiles enabled.:thumbup:
For me - ADW Launcher EX - it's the best options that I use and check on my device ;]

i thought about win8 launcher but it is slower than launcher 7 in my case ): maybe if i will put animations instead of pictures as tiles it would work. for now no time so i can't test it ):

Gonna try ADW now, had the default launcher running till now
Try Holo launcher, its pretty cool on wildfire
for me holo was little bit laggy ): better download launcher pro or adw and ics icon pack and it will look like like ics a little bit. anyway if u want ics style the best way is to download ics rom

ADW
ADW because of swipe gestures and also catalog navigations I just group icons i use and keeping them there intead of desktop you can find few cool themes too...
I backed again to launcher 7 tiles are great :3

In my opinion...:
1) stock sense launcher and
2) launcher 7 donate
