hey guys, i am running ava-froyoZ23ro. wit ADWex and for some reason i am missing several of the widgets from the "choose widget list".
does anyone have any suggestions on how to get more of the widget choices back?
Depends which widgets you're trying to use. Since widgets can only be used on htc sense, and that's why you may not see them when using adw.
On a side note, there are many widgets in the market that are made to look and function like sense-based widgets

Make sure that you didn't move the apps that power the widgets to the SD card. Widgets do not work or populate the list from the SD card and can't be used.
What I meen by that is for the new Rom for Droid incredible with the ring for the lock screen 3.0? Idk
But I was wondering if it would be hard to take things out of it?
Like I think that app draw looks like booty but Idk anything about Rom making/editing and I don't want to bother any devs lol
So would this be hard for someone new?

I'm not really sure what you're asking but it isn't difficult to take things like apps out of a rom, but if you're talking about changing the appearance of it (as in themeing) that can be trickier. You should be able to change what you need with a different launcher or themes, mods, etc.
He does not like the pages in the app drawer and wishes to know if it is hard/possible to remove parts of a rom such as the app drawer. My suggestion is that he looks at one of the alternate launchers like launcher pro. It doesn't seem that hard but it also seems like to remove things like the rosie will cause fc and boot loops.

+1 Go with one of the different launcher in the market. They're very easy to use and should give you all that you need.

some roms offer a mod to disable the paginated drawer i think

My vote goes to adw launcher
So I installed cm7 which works well with ADW. I was previously used to Launcher Pro on Synergy. I loved the Launcher Pro calendar and I was wondering if there was a similar calendar I could use for ADW. I liked how I could have it take up a whole screen and sync with facebook and my google account. I just would like a similar calendar since I can't use Launcher Pro with cm7.
Any ideas?

Why can't you use Launcher Pro with CM7? Just install it and use Titanium Backup to remove ADW.

I didn't know it was compatible because I did some searching and people said cm7 and LauncherPro don't work well. So I decided to stick with ADW and try something new.
Edit: I see now that it is compatible, but I'm liking ADW a bit more. Never tried it before, but it has some really nice features. So I'm still on my quest to find a calendar that would work similar to the LauncherPro calendar. You know of one?
Best calendar alternative I have found is Business Calendar...
Pure Grid Calendar widget is also pretty nice..$2 on the Market though, not sure if you were looking for free.

I checked it out on the market and there is two of them? A gold and blue version. Which are you talking about, or are they the same thing? Can that app sync with Google & Facebook as well?
As of right now I found a widget called CalWidget, it does sync with Google but not Facebook. I guess this'll do for awhile until I find something better. If anybody can find a widget that does sync with both Google & Facebook, that'd be great.
I use Android Pro Widgets. It is launcher pro's widgets without launcher pro.

I have never tried launchers before but LCD resolution ( root ) may change all this! As I love smaller font. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE BEST LAUNCHER IS? Paid or free I don't care, after all I forked out for this phone. No need to get cheap now.
******* looking for the features you love about certain launchers and things that drive you insaine in them *******
EDIT- I changed the tittle of this thread after a few posts so I didn't have to start a new thread. Ignore the first 7 posts lolz! Ghettto I know
My favorite launcher around. I use it on mine.
I love it

Its compatible with roms and themes I flash? Also I notice when I press my home screen soft key it gives me a choice in which launcher to use. Does my phone run them both at the same time causing the phone to lag and use up alot more ram?

Yeah... Everytime you install a launcher, you get to pick which one you want to use. go launcher is a real good launcher. i have adw ex , launcher pro, vtl launcher, and sp shell... But this one is a real good launcher for free.

I don't mind paying to Have the best launcher if there is a general idea of which really is the best. But once I click on the launcher I want to use and it switches to that launcher does the other launcher completely close down and get released from ram completely or would it save open web pages and such in TW if I hit the home button and switched to GO launcher EX?
EDIT- also if I click "remember my decision" when choosing a launcher is there a way to go back later to TW?

YA You can go back to the TW launcher once you set any launcher as default. All you need to do is go to Manage Applications and go to the Launcher you currently have as a default and hit Clear Defaults. when you hit the home button it ask you again what launcher you want to use.
Sweet, thanks for the reply and the info man. I do have another question though. I saw that there's lots of themes for GO laumcher EX but I went to download one called "FutureWorld" foe GO launcher and it said it wasn't compatible with this device? How cam that be guys?
I'm bumpin this and changed the tittle to get more feed back into which LAUNCHER IS BEST

This question will just answered based on everyone's experience...I think you just need to take the time to mess with each one, then make your choice. Personally, I recently switched to GO launcher myself since it was included in the ROM I'm using and from my experience so far it works fine.

That's the first one I tried ( and only ) and do like it. What rom did it come with that you flashed? Also the reason I ask this is because I want feedback on selling points like features you found and love or things that irritate the sin into you
I find Go Launcher to be the best available. TW is the smoothest, but Go has the best of all worlds.
It really is based on preference.... Go launcher, Launcher pro, and ADW are top launchers.
I purchased launcher pro, but the Dev has not updated in quite a long time.

What are the key differences that would stand out in each of those that might catch some ones preferance radar?
I personally find my self switching back and forth between all of them on whatever phone I'm using at the moment. ADW, TWIZ, launcher PRO, Go, and AOSP and even some of the mods for it. Launcher Pro was my favorite until the dev stopped updating it. Now, I'm using ADW at the moment but I may be going back to TWIZ shortly. Thats the beautiful part about Android! So many Choices!!!!
Go launcher ftw!

When launcher pro was released, it was very fluid and had extra dock shortcuts, resizing widgets, and its own LP widgets. First of its kind.
ADW was also fluid and smooth and was the first launcher to have animation swipes from screen to screen... also intergrated themes.
Go launcher does and has both of the above and its free. Go launcher is free because it sells themes. In my opinion, Go launcher is a top launcher at the moment. They constantly have updates with new themes and extra go launcher services like go sms, go locker, go widgets. It definitively is a win in my book.
go luancher is ez to customize too. i switch between twlauncher and go luancher depend on the theme. sometime go luancher just wont go with theme.

Hi all,
How many of you here are using Apex Launcher/Pro on your HOX?
How do you find it? I like Sense but I'm thinking of fiddling with a different launcher.
Does Apex LAuncher allow Landscape Home Screens?
If I don't like it I can just uninstall it right? Also I'm guessing I don't need to be r00ted to use the launcher...
Thanks all,
T-L-H

It does have landscape support - you have to go: Apex Settings - Behaviour Settings - Screen Orientation - Auto-rotate.

How exactly does this work then? Does it take over the sense totally? IE... When I turn my phone on I am booted in to this and when I lock it etc.. etc.. or do I have to open it each time I want to use it?
Sorry to sound a little dumb on this but I am a complete newby to android.

You can choose a default launcher to choose from. I've just chosen Apex Launcher... I still have the standard lockring on my lockscreen...
You can reset the default launcher in Apex Launcher settings. I'm still kinda new to this myself so I'm not too sure on all the in's-and-out's.

Okay so when you turn the phone on its the standard lockscreen, you move that and it opens directly into Apex Launcher as if Sense never existed? Sounds like something fun to mess around with.
I'm guessing it can't do any damage to the phone or the standard OS etc... then?

That's correct, it's all the same... just a different launcher.
The stock launcher is all intact, Apex doesn't overwrite anything, it's just an App really.

All makes perfect sense...
and +1 to Apex Launcher. I tried them all this past week and I just liked Apex better. I am sure they all do similar things, with a couple of things different. I purchased the Pro version of Apex.
Not sure if I can make the lock screen like my Apex home screen. I am still learning (time dependant), do very much like it though. Even my iPhone work mates seem impressed
I have been using Apex since Friday. I liked it so much I ended up paying for it.
Im not sure how many more features were enabled but I thought it would be the least I could do.
Main reason for switching. Laggy Home screen swithching in sense.
I have widgets on every screen now and its flawless!
Apex Launcher Pro consumes a lot of battery on my HOX 1.28
I back to Sense 4 and prefer Nova Launcher

When playing with various launchers, your battery may drain very fast because of the widgets you have running on the screens of the inactive launcher.
If you try Apex, it's a good idea to remove all widgets from your Sense screens first.

I switch off, all the widgets from Sense4 before try Apex
And reboot the terminal.
apex user here also. loving it. it's just smooth and full of features.
That's good to know, I'll remove my widgets from my Sense 4.0 Launcher and then boot back into Apex Launcher.
I'm also running GO Locker, GO Launcher EX with the ICS GO Locker Lock ring...
Sometimes when I power the screen back on I get the Sense 4.0 lock ring, so I unlock to homescreen then the ICS GO Locker ring will appear, so I have to unlock that one too! So I'm unlocking with two rings wtf?
I use Apex too and also bought the Pro version in supprot of the devs coz I liked it so much. I'm not even sure what the advantages are for Pro version. Hehehehe...
