anyone else notice that the grid used for widget/app shortcut placement is gone now with 3.1? not a big deal but I kind of liked what it looked like.. anyone else lose this? Other than that i like the updates subtle differences..

Try This
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
If you are talking about the grid of +'s that show up when you want to move a widget or shortcut, its not gone. It is, however pretty faint (especially if you have a whitish/blueish wallpaper), and it also only shows up in the general area around the item you are moving, not the whole panel. For example, if you are holding an item all the way on the right of the screen, there will be a grid there but nothing on the left side.
I guess there could be something wrong on your installation, but check again to be sure.
What is this grid you speak of? I have no grid in 3.0 or 3.1
Not gone on mine, and it's meant to be there, so it sounds like you have installed something that has removed it.

I've got Launcher Pro Plus and my home screen filled with 5 light widgets. I've noticed that when switching between portrait and landscape, all the widgets will disappear and refresh in about 1-2 seconds. Its not an issue, but it somewhat sticks out next to the fluidity of the rest of the UI. I forgot to test it out on the stock UI; does the stock launcher do this with stock widgets? My guess is that there's a lack of rotation animations for these , but that's just a swing in the dark. I suppose I should ask if this is normal behavior, and if not, did I miss a setting?
Thanks in advance.

Getting deeper into the second page, quick bump!
i dont think you missed a setting. i feel like launcherpro doesnt work properly on the g2. its glitchy for me, i keep getting a blank homescreen sometimes then it refreshes to the all the widgets and icons. the dock is sweet, but doesnt feel like the sacrafice of glitchyness is a even trade.

I get that too... I hope we see an optimization soon. It's not expensive by any means, but it stinks to have a paid product wasted...
Oh, and does that mean this phenomenon doesn't occur on other devices?
Maybe a little late, but I believe the refreshing of the home screen after rotating the device has to do with the widgets you use.
I've noticed this when putting the "easy button widget" on my home screen. Since that moment the screen started to refresh after a orientation-switch. I removed the widget, and it was allright again.
tmobile g2...
sometimes when i open the keyboard and it changes to landscape, it shows everything on the screen except for the app icons...then a couple seconds later, the app icons appear
this delay seems to happen more often when the phone is rooted...
also when i am waiting for the app icons to appear, i go to the "app menu" square in the bottom middle, and it shows all the app icons there, but its frozen...then unfreezes as soon as the icons on the main desktop appear.
anyone else having this issue?
I did have about a 1 - 1.5 second delay up until yesterday,.... Now I'm back on the OC,... nearly instant now.
ya and thats what i thought was weird...if i rooted and overclocked..it would do everything faster...but this orientation change seemed to lag even more...
You misunderstand me,... I was running at 806mhz yesterday, now I have up'd it to 1.2 it is instant.
just installed launcherPro...works 10x better...could it be that the default launcher doesnt have a homescreen cache?
also is there a way to edit the default cache? registry edit or something...
Ooo, I wouldn't know about any of that I'm sorry.
Yea I was about to say you should have launcherpro installed. I don't any delay at all.

Registry? GOD NO!!! We don't need or want any crippling DEATH like that.
What launcher are you using? What you are describing is characteristic of the way YOUR SPECIFIC LAUNCHER is written, nothing to do with root. If you installed CM for example, it comes with ADW launcher, which I don't find particularly wonderful for this hardware.... it was good on DREAM, but the stock 3D launcher blows it away.
I have exactly the same issue and I posted to another thread where OP had exact same issue.
Not sure what it is.
Noticed it about a week after I first started using it. Rooted unlocked etc. right away using gfree method.
When I open the keyboard or close the keyboard (change orientation while in an app) and then click the home button ("close the app"), it goes to BLANK home screen for a few seconds. Annoying.
Stock froyo and stock launcher.
has anyone tried this?

I am having issues with it trying to setup. It is not force closing but when I setup the button, when I tap it from the home screen, it goes into setting instead of just showing the apps I have assigned to it. Not sure what I am doing wrong or if it is a bug on Xoom.
Edit: The "Blur" option in advanced settings does not seem to work. Only shows black background and the circle centered in the screen is not really centered... it is too far to the bottom in landscape cutting off the bottom icons in the circle.
I did it looks great for me love it

Yes it can.
Cool ...i run into my market !
Liking it...mostly.
Adds a new dimension to wallpaper wonkiness, unfortunately.
My wallpaper (via wizardrii) is not properly centered in landscape mode. Have not fiddled with it yet.
Anyone have any tips?
I will definitely be purchasing this for my girlfriend's 10.1.. thanks for the tip, it looks great!
Am loving it just make sure if your rubbish bin bar is located at the bottom you enable auto scaling of desktop when bin bar is used, otherwise you won't be able to add icons to the docking bar !

Mine works well for an hour or so, then takes an age for an app to return to the launcher. Only way to fix is to reboot the tab. Anyone else seen this?
Is there a light or trial version that I can try for free? I can't find one in the market.

Buy it from android market and you will have 15 mts to refund. I know not much you can do in 15 mts, but something better than nothing.

Wallpapers aren't rendered properly, and my dock bar just disappeared on mine. Still has a ways to go on tablets.
Dock bar going away is a common "problem" with ADW. Turn off hidden dockbar in the settings, turn off gestures.
I went ahead and set mine up without a dockbar, and with just the ADW settings menu item in the top right. Removed the trash bin as well (long-press then Remove from the desktop works just fine).
"Endless" page scrolling, page-turn animation of Tilt, 350 turn speed, 15 desktop bounce, and a theme that has a transparent top menu bar. Desktop has 9x7 columns/rows, icons scaled to 95%, density hack off. App drawer is 6x6, in 4D vertical scroll.
Basically, it looks pretty much like Honeycomb at a glance, but without the one-inch "tap space" wasted on the left and right screen edges. It's much faster and smoother. About the only performance issue I've had is that it doesn't handle "card" widgets like YouTube, Market or News360 as smoothly as stock, when you go to "fling" a card away.
Maybe I'm just getting old and simple, but I don't really see the point of having the excessive customization of ADW on a Honeycomb tab. I have my homescreen setup with two widgets and about 12 regular icons, then the next screen over has some lesser used stuff. If I need any other apps I just open the app drawer and easily locate them. I mean, it's neat to make things whiz-bang and all, but from a usability perspective there's already so much overkill built in to Honeycomb that ADW doesn't seem worth the time.
On my phone, ADW is great, however. Now get off my lawn.

You don't have to use the power of ADW, it's just there waiting to be harnessed if you want it.
In fact, you can use ADW to simplify it, for example you can delete unused home screens, unlike stock Honeycomb. Doing things like adding widgets or changing wallpapers is also cleaner and quicker than the flashy Honeycomb interface. It's simpler.
I'm a card carrying member of the Curmudgeon's Club of Canada, by the way.

So... You are saying that you need adw
I like simple too, and adw help me doing that.
I mean, I do not need the 3d cubic scrolling effects, neither than the futuristic widget selection screen, or the quick search bar at the top.
I didn't choose to display the dock too in adw.
And it is so fast, close to the ipad smoothness.

It is not a problem but a feature hehe. If you slide one the dock, it disappear. I you slide again it appears. I think you can disable somewhere that movement.
ADW still sucks on the Tab..not only are the card/live widgets like Youtube slow to flick like someone said, but the worst thing is that for certain widget, like the Digital Clock stock Tab one...it looks fine when using the Tab landscape at first, then every single time I rotate to portrait view, the widget re-draws for new orientation and both left and right sides of the widget are not cut off. This does not adjust/fix itself instantly like stock launcher does and the only way to really fix it is to re-add widget or sometimes turn screen off and on.
I like the smoothness of the launcher/drawer but I aint dealing with this **** where a widget gets screwed up every single time....too annoying to deal with. Why is this such a hard thing to get right?? Is there a fix for this or no? I am not resizing the widget to begin with btw...just adding it as normal size. The homescreen size I use is 8 columns and 7 rows btw, just like stock.
Oh and why in the app drawer, the the top still unmatching/not dimmed like the rest of the drawer below it? Looks so stupid. They should dim it too and still keep the buttons in the top right corner, ughh.
EDIT: Here, compare landscape to portrait when flipped. Not only does that Digital Clock widget get cut off, but also look at the Wireless Widget..it looks ridiculous now.
EDIT2: I unchecked the ADW option for resizing widgets to fit blah blah but the same thing still happens where the Clock widget, for example, gets cut off after going vertical.. although the Wifi Widget looks a little less ridiculous now when turning. Anyone know about the widget issue though??

The 15 minute refund policy really sucks, especially for apps like ADW EX where you really need some time to get a feel for how you like it and check out all the customizations. To get around it you can always buy it, pull the apk from /data/apps (requires root), refund it, and re-install the program using the pulled apk file. This way you can take your time to play around with the app before deciding if you want to keep it. If you do go ahead and re-buy it from market. If you decide not to buy it do the honest thing and uninstall the program.

Anyone know of a fix? My clock will randomly be tiny in the center of my screen, but when I press and hold it to re-size it's already as big as it will go? So I go small, then back to big to make it full size again
I have removed the Widget

I have and just wiped Device cache as well.
I guess now I wait...
Nope! Still doing it! Someone has to have a fix for this!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Does no one know how to fix this? Is it just something I have to deal with & there is no fix? A Bug? Will be fixed in a future release?

You are the only person I've ever read of having this issue. I agree it's weird and I'm sure rather frustrating. Anything short of just wiping the device and flashing the factory image may be in vein. As long as you flash the image and don't restore any data I would be shocked if it came back.
Ugh... Wiped, FDR without restore and still having the same issue...
Okay, so I just got a replacement 6P for a pink screen issue & the damn clock widget still does the same thing? That's 2 separate phones with the same issue? I can't be the only one...
Some other app is causing it.

Take screen shots of what its supposed to look like and of what it ends up looking like. The only thing that would cause that on mine is if I put some other widget near it and it was fighting for the same footprint.

I have a very minimal Home Screen. There is nothing in the way to abstruct the Clock Widget
I have the same problem. It's been happening ever since the last update to the clock app. I think it has something to do with them making the widget resizeable for the Google now launcher. Im using Nova. It's definitely not your phone. It's a bug in the clock app.

Have you tried dragging the lines as far as possible so the whole screen is the widget padding? Just an idea. I use Google now launcher/apex launcher and have not had any issues. I'll try with Nova and see if it happens.
I have this issue. I only use nova and it happens to me most time. Im not using the widget anymore. Just using zooper widget.
I think making the widget bigger than it needs to be has fixed it! Yay! Thx Gizmoe
