New home launcher ADW EX. Its just adw with a few more customizations. It's on the market.
Anyone using it yet? I just bought it and its amazing! Everybody post pics of your launcher and show off your personal taste!
If you experience any stutter or freeze issue its probably a memory leak caused by one of your widgets, a quick adw reset will fix it. Just go to the menu scroll down and adw reset.
Anybody with suggestions should email the dev from the market place. He replies quite quick and is open to suggestions.

I ran into this earlier today on the Nexus S forum and thought about reposting it, but I got too carried away playing with it and forgot...
Menu > ADW Settings > General Behavior > Animation and Effects > Wallpaper Scrolling

HTC Vision S-OFF CM6.1 Stable Oc'd to 1.5ghz on Pershoots Kernel
just finished playing around with it for a bit and all i gotta say is...wow. animations switching screens are so sleek and dont lag at all on my CM6.1.1. no FC's or anything. loving it so far. havent defaulted it yet, still trying to see if i truly want it as my default. only thing i wish it had right now is swipe gestures for each dockbar icon (not just the main swipe up/swipe down gestures) because on launcher pro i have 5 different gestures, particularly: quick compose for chomp and screen off and lock because i'd rather quickly swipe up than long press the search button. unfortunately i can't do that to the dockbar in ADW but instead i've made the single swipe up gesture for screen off and lock, and long press search as quick compose. also in launcherpro i had a swipe gesture for battery use shortcut in settings and in ADW i just decided to make a shortcut for it on the desktop. also miss the launcherpro facebook widget but i can live without it.
in conclusion, this launcher is absolutely amazing so far, battery drained pretty quickly but i can't tell if thats just cuz i was literally messing around with it constantly, even to the point where i would just play around with the screen transition animation for days haha or if its actually a battery drainer. i guess we'll see if it really drains a lot of battery tomorrow, assuming i can show some self control with playing with the screen animations

Lawl! I agree.
Battery seems the same to me. I was messing with my transitions for the hell of it for a bit didn't notice any major draining.

For those of you interested, if you are upgrading from the "old" ADW, you can restore your old settings by backing up the current launcher and settings config, an use Astro or any explorer to rename adw_settings.xml and adw_launcher.db to adw_EX_settings.xml and adw_EX_launcher.db. Next you can import them in ADW Ex. Both files are in the root of the SD card. At least saves the trouble to figure out again what your original settings were and background etc...
I am a bit dissapointed that such a popular launcher doesn't recognise you were running a previous version and offers the option to import old settings on first startup. Still it is the best launcher IMHO. The new transition effects are cool!

It tried it. The settings is a mess. ADW Ex is not user friendly, imo.

ADW ex is very nice but settings are not very intuitive and are not very user friendly. Now, of course, this a first release and I'm sure things will be cleaned up in updates. Launcher should not hijack "Settings" shortcutin the menu neither.
Can't find a free version for this to try....
I am just happy to have the 3d app tray back
G2 cm6
HOLY **** that is amazing actually! I'm incredibly impressed. Yeah opening up the app drawer is laggy a bit but I mean it's brand freakin new. I love it. Thanks for pointing me in its direction
Yup I really like this but the only problem is that delay it has when opening the app drawer. Other than that, really great launcher.

Your right itt does have a 1-2 second delay when oppening the drawer. But I rather that then the lagg the old adw got wile scrolling thru the drawer without the apps loading in there.

Yea I really like the new adw but my only complaint would be that I used to be able to have a transparent appdrawr background since I use the faded theme with black backgrounds which always looks good to me... I hate I can't find how to get it back like that and have to have a colored background

You can still set the app drawer background to transparent, it just won't work with Vertical 4D app drawer style.
Just set the background color bar all the way to the left.

I don't use themes so I'm not sure if or how they affect settings. Did you try ADW Settings > UI Settings > Drawer Settings > Background color - slide the slider all the way to the left. (a bit late as EuroSpeed beat me to it. This is what happens when I answer a phone call in the middle of replying and get distracted)
My First impression
I got this last night and so far I like it very much. The "vertical old" App drawer style is much snappier. It doesn't lag like the ADW built in to CM 6.1.1 even though I have the background transparent and my live wallpaper running just as I did on the built in version. There are some things that I don't like such as the fact that it has removed the phone settings from the menu button and placed them under the ADW settings. Also, I have the Home button binding set to: Move to default desktop/show previews. If you start at the default desktop, go to settings and press the home button to return home it automatically goes to the previews instead of the default desktop and then the previews. Not a big deal but slightly annoying- I'm sure it will be addressed in an update. Overall, I really like this.
The defy has 6. And a home page. Im not using two of them how do i remove them? Tmobile was no help. 2nd question is there something that can rotate my screen upside down. ? Thanks for reading
I'm not sure whether you can do it with the stock launcher (though you should be able to) but I know with LauncherPro you can choose the number of homescreens by pressing Menu, then Preferences > Homescreen Settings.
thanks
I gave it a shot it works well. However i just don't like the home icons. I like the ones that came with it. (3) call. The circle thing and contacts is there any way to get them with launcher pro?
Well, you can change the default icons long-pressing on them. Choose the default ones or find some nice icon online and change it
Thanks
i got it looking good.! i would take a screen shot but i havent Rotted. waiting for 2.2. got everything but is any one having issues with the "Messaging App" the one that shows you email and text and gives you a preview. i cant get it to work says problem loading widget? any one know the deal.......press and hold on home screen,widgets,messages then select all messages and click done. "problem with loading widget.... other then that im at 95% done. 100% loving THIS $hit so glad i moved on from my touch pro II. gotta update my sig but to busy making my Defy cooler

Hi, I am using 2.2 and sometimes my device hangs and reboots itself. When i was in landscape befor then the homescreen is in landscape after auto- reboot. So technically landscape is possible, but how to switch its orientation by yourself is a other question.
Greetings
To make it go to landscape once ur in launcherpro hit the 4 square button then behavior then check auto rotate. U should b good.

No ideas on the weather and utube widgets any one. I checked task killer but there are no apps on" auto close" and preview message box still not workin... if i pay im scares it still wont work. Has any one paid for this app?

ok so, I have installed CyanogenMOD 7.1 on wildfire. n it was running smoothly for 2days, until today.! the MENU task bar was somehow invisible. I had to restart the phone, n it was settled. so, any solution on how can I fix it? another thing is, the android MARKET is not there. how can I solve it.? it would be a pain in the a** if these two problems continued !
Market problem could be you haven't flashed gapps,search around forums for gapps and flashed via hboot like you did cm7.
Disappearing dock or status bars most likely due to swipe to hide settings. Test by swiping up on your screen or down on your screen to see if anything happens,repeat to restore bars again if its working.

1st when I tried, it gave me network error.. now it's done.. many thanx to u.. now please help me with that MENU BAR problem.. I rebooted my phone many time from this morning.! any solution?
What menu bar?
Do you mean the dock at the bottom with the phone, app drawer and browser icon?
Adw has a hidden app drawer which opens when you slide your finger up from the bottom of the screen, you can disable it in the settings.

m talking about the 3 icons in the home screen, the MENU, BROWSER & Phone CALL icon!!

that tab 1st showed this problem .. now, the google search bar is also creating problem.. it's not showing up.. If I reboot my phone, everything gets well but for some time
Go to adw settings and disable hidden app drawer or dockbar, I can't remember what its called now.

it is not enabled .. I have checked just now to be assured.. in the home screen, it's saying, "problem loading widget" .. ! :|
As scratch and myself have said its probably the adw hidden dock setting that is causing the disappearing icons.goto menu,adw settings and look for hidden dock bar and turn it off. I'm not sure of the path because I'm using the new adwex launcher which has removed the hidden dock bar.

Delete the widget and place it again, you've just flashed a newer version of Google search so the path of the widget has changed.

Hi all,
I'm having a weird issue with my GS3 when using customizable grid view. I'm randomly missing one icon at the bottom of two of my pages in app drawer. I have not hidden any icons. It is the exact same issue as this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764222
It fixes itself if you change to alphabetical view, but I want to use customizable view, as it displays the icons in order of recency. Has anyone else seen this issue? I noticed it only happened with preinstalled apps (had it occur with downloaded apps, but a reboot fixed this).
Thanks for the help. Any advice/alternatives are appreciated

Hey guys,
I just wanted to customize my Homescreen, but ssLauncher won't let me place Widgets in the top of the screen..
I thought i just had to find that "Hide Labels" Setting, but it doesn't exist in my version.. Don't know why.
(When tapping at the Samsung-Menu-Key, it shows all available pages/labels with the options on the bottom: "Theme" and "Settings"..but theres nothing like "Hide Labels")
Do you know how to enable that space, so I can place widgets there?
(Because I'm a new member I can't post a ScreenshotLink, but you could try this photo upload)

Use different launcher like apex and nova. They will let you do anything
