Am I the only person who thinks the Droid Charge's Touchwiz UI looks terrible compared to the "regular" Touchwiz that we and the Galaxy S series have?

I would root that phone just to get rid of the messenger icon. That's horrible.

No, I mean the colors they chose for the UI. Gray and Orange. Its just not right. And I agree, I hate that messaging icon.

I dislike only one thing about it, the bubbles around the apps in the app drawer.

Me too, I hope this a beta launcher they should make it more sense like with a little bit touchwiz. And maybe a couple of screen transitions, vertical cube effect would look nice for the app drawer.

Try clearing the defaults on the launcher you're on in settings > apps > manage apps. Then just hit the home button and you should have the option to select the launcher.
Use an app called home switcher ... Free on market.

Agreed as well. The launcher looks extremely outdated and really ugly.
I liked it. Needs way more customization. It has no graphical acceleration though. Until they put that in it will be a fail in my book. Might as well use sense capped at 30fps.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Not a good software. I saw the screenshots and thought the 'minimalist' interface and design would be great but as it turned out, the launcher was slow, buggy and had absolutely no customization features (aside from changing the tab colors). The launcher felt sluggish going back to the main home screen and appeared to have no graphical acceleration. I had to eventually turn off the animation to get acceptable performance.
My advice? Avoid. Btw, I did not get a refund.
Definitely not usable in its current form. Its slow - if it was smooth as butter I would have kept it installed for at least a few days to try it out.
Also if they don't make this free for Samsung handsets I think that would be really crappy of them.
Ive seen this on the new Dual Core Motorola phones. Is there anyway we can get this on the Epic Touch 4G? More clarity..The screen ui rotation like the iPhone. That would be super sweet!! Thanks..

With all the fancy transition effects with the Go Launcher I'm running, I'm surprised there's no rotation transition effects.
On the OGEvo MikG has adopted this in his Tom somehow. Maybe someone can ask him on how we do this for out phone.
any updates?

Talked to a buddy of mine about this...
There's an app called spare parts that lets you add different animations and transitions to the phone.
He commented that for android 1.5 and maybe 1.6 you could add fancy rotation animations, but for later versions it won't.
It's also not an option in go launcher, though there are tons of other animations.
Maybe this no longer exists in stock android? Maybe HTC had to reinvent the wheel and add lots of custom code to make this happen for their sense UI?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Its in ICS, so I'm sure it will be ported over when we get a rom.
Bump.
So more "Spin" and less brash.
I hope we can get it ported over, looks sweet.

Do you or anyone have a list of TW only apps? I have restored a lot of other system apps like Sprint Live Football and Nascar with no problem. That and the tiny freakin icons in the notification bar are the only things keeping me from running it more than a few hours, oh and the lower volume too.

Not really but as for the notifications flash a theme some have larger icons. Also go in the sound and turn the media volume up all the way the system sounds follow the media volume...?... just look for some themes the good ones cost but there's few free ones that are cool I use the crystal cm7 theme by darkdog. Has a lot of cool icons and the themed xda is awesome. Just stay on cm7 you'll get used to it it grows one you trust me...

i used to use simple notepad cause it would export to sd as a .txt file.. then i realized i kept losing notes (Hi my name is Pvt.Joker, and I'm a Flashaholic!) so i went for the auto sync'd albeit slower route of using google docs to write my notes.. just a thought..
Well I didn't see one. Every community that I've been on always has a social scene where people compare there customizations. I figured this would be a good place to start, so post them screenshots up son!

Yes but certain Roms do not have the screen shot app installed as they consider it bloatware so if it does not work (when pressed you hear a camera shutter sound) if no sound it does not work on your Rom. No worries you can then install the APK to get it back up and running. I think Some people posted it.

Ditto. Bought it because I had read so many good comments about it in the past, but I was kind of disappointed in it. Back to "Make Your Clock" where you just roll your own from scratch.
I've had this one for a while and like it quite a bit. Pretty broad selection of themes, though as others have said, it has been a while since much new material has been added. Never had any significant problems with it in terms of functionality, either with my Evo or my GNex.
