I still like LauncherPro better, way better. My opinion.
I like it, but I miss the pitch zoom thing I have in launcher pro beta. Add that to this launcher and I would use it
is it the FroYo launcher that has the icons "fly-in" on the app tray? Or is that Cyanogen? Either way, thats a wicked effect on Droid roms.
Holy hairy ballsack Batman, this is fast!
I've been a LauncherPro guy for the past few weeks, not anymore...

Well you do know you can customize them, right? Hes also working on adding an option to disable those shortcuts, if you dont want them. Atleast LauncherPro is only titled a Beta

Dam launcher is awesome too (hadent used it before). Icons are definitely the worst part of this launcher, ADW wins in that category. But this is alot smoother so far.

Haha nice. Yeah That was recently added to edit them. I'm excited because it is, imo a LOT smoother, and only a beta, so the possibilities are endless. (ok not so much, but you get the idea. xD )
Is anyone have using better cut with this launcher...when ever i try to add an icon shortcut is just goes to the default home screen..i tried setting them there also to see if it would copy over to adw but it doesn't.
Is there a setting to dock 4 apps? I thought one of the screenshots had room for 4, I haven't palyed around with it that much yet, but if it only allows 2 apps in the dock I might have to stick with LauncherPro. Still an awesome launcher though, I'll have to keep it around and play with the settings.

You can slide the launcher down/up(cant remember) and there is room for 4 shortcuts.
Hi again,
I want to add that big digital flip clock to the front screen of my phone but I'm having a brain fart with getting this done. Can someone please help.
Im running CM7 version 2.3.2. Im also using ADWLauncher EX. I dont know if my phone has the option to add the digital clock to the front and I just have to select it or what?
If you say I dont have it and I have to get a widget to make this possible. My next question is, won't this cause a problem with ADW Launcher EX?
Thanks
BK
if your talking about the Flip clock that was on the stock ROM, that is proprietary to HTC's Sense... don't know if ADW EX has a imatation of it, however you can get one that is very similar only customizable in the Market it is called Beautiful Widgets and no it won't cause any issues with ADW.
Thanks Raven...I know Im being way too careful with this phone...Lol. I was going to get beautiful widgets it seems nice and lots of people like it but for whatever reason in my head, I thought it will cause a conflict because they are two different themes...I know that doesnt make sense
But thanks for the info!

If you have a certain clock downloaded already then long press on your home screen and select add widget. Go through and find the clock you want and tap on it. Is the clock you're talking about the Sense clock or something like it?
Edit: you beat me to it.

I can vouch for beautiful widgets. Its probably the best alternative I've used.

el-jodio...I guess it would be sense clock...its the one you see when they advertise the phone...it has the big white and black numbers...I flashed my phone to CM7 and I dont think I have it anymore unless Im doing something wrong.
When I long press on the touch screen...and window pops up and says add to home screen...it has, wallpapers, shortcuts, and widgets.
When I click on widgets, another window pops up and it shows a clock but its the ugly round analog clock. So I dont think I have this.
Unless it comes with the ADW Laucher EX...but I dont think it does.

no problem man, I was the same way with my first decent Android device (I don't count that Behold 2 I started with). BW is just the replacement for the Weather/Flip Clock. I even have it on the BH2 I gave my daughter and she loves it.
edit: once you flashed CM7 and got rid of Sense you lost it all you can do is get a clone such as BW or go back to Sense (either stock/Ice-Glacier or one the Desire HD or Z ports)

Yeah its gone like raven stated but check out beautiful widgets, its worth the money. It has a lot of different skins and ways to customize it. Or try out other sense roms.

Hey im starting to not care for miui so much i remember one of my friends tried it on his D1 awhile back and it was very buggy he had freezes and random reboots. dont get me wrong, i would love to see miui come to the hero it would be one more rom we could shove in iphone fanboys faces. However i recently installed go launcher ex and i love it, it has become my favorite alt home laucnher and it runs very smooth and without lag. So my point is would u rather have miui or cm7+go launcher witch would be pretty much the same thing minus the lockscreen and contacts however u do get a dockbar and app drawer.
sorry for the rambling but what do yall think.
I've been using Go Launcher for a few months now, and haven't deviated since. I just like it. It's a good blend of simplicity and fancy.
now i would die if we could get spb shell working lol.
I'd definitely stop in the middle of my work and yell, ''They did it!!!'' if I read that.

You and me both lol.
adw ex just updated and it has a 3D cube effect, also it has iphoney icons...
You can get the whole go line of software and it has an miui type of feel, go weather, go sms, go launcher and go contacts.
I have a question, bought the MIUI iPhone Launcher (which is ADW heavily modified since my Milestone 2 has a locked bootloader so I can't install custom ROMs) but I'm severely disappointed because my folders look like empty black boxes, even if I throw apps inside them.
Is is happening to anyone else? I use GoLauncher, bought the MIUI theme, liked it but I liked the MIUI iPhone launcher better (big icons and stuff). But I don't want my main screens to look like a lot of empty black boxes since they're full of folders.
I'm running the latest version, 1.2.15 IIRC. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
youll probably have better luck asking in the milestone2 q/a section and yes you can install roms if you use bootstrap recovery.
I actually really like Go Launcher Ex... or at least I used to until I got Sense 2.1
I've been sticking with LauncherPro for months, just because I always run back to it.
Tried Zeam, ADW, Go. Go is pretty impressive. Fast but I do not like the placing of the app on the screens function and the app drawer.
I actually use MIUI with GO LAUNCHER and I love it.
Way to bring back a dead thread lol... My suggestion is to avoid the Go Apps altogether really... They seem to have a bad habit of needing more permissions than needed and some people are worried the apps are storing private information.
Go Launcher and Go SMS are two of my favorite apps but you have to be careful these days

good lord this thread is old
With some of the launcher talk recently I thought I'd ask if anyone's tried Go Launcher EX? Free from the market and IMO is better than Adw EX in someways. I really like adw's drawer but the roll transition between home screens of Go keeps me hooked and the ability to hide apps in the drawer. Ill show my phone to a buddy and automatically want me to give them some apks from mine. No. Support the dev and buy it. So instead of being a douche I can hide my good apps and the Go launcher app in the drawer and my point of supporting the dev happens anyways. I understand why the dev would put a home button in the drawer because most don't realize what they're downloading and can't figure out how to press the home button. But its nice to hide it.
In aosp's thread I know most of you are partial to adw and lpp and a few of us old zeam fans still exist but I'm really liking Go. Ymmv. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

You know I love adw EX, and just wanna let you know a couple things You can't "hide" apps in the drawer, BUT you can create a new "catalog" of a custom app list for your drawer, which effectively does the same thing, I have one called "apps" and one called "games". Also, I don't know what "roll" screen transition is, but if it's something like a 3D cube, the new update to 1.3.2 and higher in adw EX now includes that, and an "inverse" version of the same transition, it's pretty sweet.

/me is noob.
I was going through a "flash" withdrawal ... so, thought I would give GO a try yesterday. It's not bad, but I don't seem to use all the "customizations". Yes, Go does have some nice screen animations... but it's only good for a while, then you get bored. I much rather have something responsive over eye candy ;-).
So, I much rather use Zeam... light weight and does the job for me.
remember open home and home++ from back in the day lol
those were pretty awefull

Schweetness I didn't play around enough then. The roll effect is like throwing a sheet of paper. Its spins sort of center of the screen. Cosmetic but it's smooth and runs low. Hopefully the dev from adw gets my email about that effect. It's really the only thing keeping me to Go now that duce mentioned you can catalog the app drawer.

I think adw has that too. There's like 10 animations you can choose. They are:
- tilt
- fly in
- rotate
- zoom
- catalog
- tumble
- curve
- cards
- cube
- cube inverse
- wheel
I bet there's a youtube video, check it out.
Tumble was the closest one to it. Gonna try it out for a day or two and update. Ill probably be converted
Correction: Tumble is right on. I just had fling speed set too high and forgot the app drawer is the biggest improvement. Just awesome.
®parallel universe®
I have been converted. Adw ex is the new launcher of choice.

Hey guys.
Anyone have any ideas for something different for the desktop?
I'm kind of bored of the usual weather at the top and the apps ect underneath.
I was thinking of the Windows mobile style launcher, but it's just tiles with what ever you want lol.
Anyone got some ideas for a change?
There is already a Windows Phone 7 style launcher called "Launcher7" however I believe it's just a concept - it looks OK but not great.
If you're looking for a cool launcher that's customisable, I recommend Go Launcher EX, it's the nicest one I've tried (I prefer it to LauncherPRO). However, personally I'm fine with the Touchwiz launcher.
If you want to do some cool stuff with your widgets, maybe have RSS newsfeeds of your favorite sites? For that I'd recommend a widget called "Pulse".
Yea I usually gey bored that's why I rooted my phone to cm7. I saw they came out with open home 6 u might wanna check it out

You could try regina launcher for something a little bit different from the norm or another one which is called circle launcher i believe.

While i haven't used it on the SGSII, only my atrix, SPB shell 3d was pretty sick. VERY fast. But still kind of the same setup
Circle launcher looks interesting.
Oh i like circle launcher.
i cant believe nobody mentioned SPB Shell 3D. just watch some videos on that and be blown away if you want something "new" and different on your android device.
