[LAUNCHER] ADW Launcher! WORKS WITH HERO!

I am not responsible for any damage done
ADW launcher is an alternative to whatever launcher you currently have. It CAN BE UNSTABLE AT TIMES!
It is very customizable, remember I take no credit for Development, I just found it and thought it might be worth sharing.

Notes:
Only works with 2.1 Eclair ROMS!
Wallpaper shifts down slightly upon unlocking
I have been using it for a while now, and no problems yet.
I have been pleasantly surprised of how popular it has become in one night of bringing it up =0
PM me with any questions.
Yours Truly,

I use ADW on VanillaEclair 2.0.1 and it runs flawlessly. I highly recommend it; the shortcut keys left and right of the apps menu are incredibly useful, and full support for Live Wallpapers is working and, best of all, optional - turning it off makes things much more responsive.

It works NICE! :> just testing =)

Much prefer Helix Launcher, best version of Helix for Hero is 1.2a. Like the fact you can have 4 shortcuts permanent on the bottom (dont like the hidden away ones you can have on ADW).
Also for me ADW isnt as stable and the wallpaper seems to lag behind transitons.

Im using this on a hero based rom on my eris and I must say, that I'm head over heels with this home replacement.i haven't experienced any instabilities with it. the next best thing for this program now is that it hits the market! I will download it, pay for it, whatever! Just lemme know when it'll be official. Please!!! Keep up the good work mr anderweb, im hoping you can expand its compatibility with other devices. Ive heard about a few of us eris users complain about it not being able to launch and some fc's. But it works flawlessly on my eris with hero based rom.

SuperHero is donators only at the moment; Nathan says he'll do a public release in the coming week. It's probably worth the wait, as the feedback thread is full of praise, and I'm hyped about having the ROM that Vanillain Hybrid was supposed to be.

ADW launcher works fine also in Androbin

GO Launcher EX

So far I have been unimpressed by most of the launchers out there.
By far the best in my opinion for S2 is the free Go Launcher EX
I also have the go keyboard, go calendar and black icon theme installed.
Here's some screen captures.

Running on Orange UK stock but rooted
Very smooth in operation

Agreed. I am a paid Launcher Pro user since the Captivate but Go Ex has won me over for sure. VERY nice.

same here. i m using the same and i think its the best launcher out there. actually its a supremely modded version of touchwiz. i have more than 30 premium themes installed. but i think it drains the battery a lot. wat u think

Hey raze1000, please share your wallpaper. I really like it!

Wow! @raze1000, your customisations look really awesome!

Here ya go

Agree that this is the best launcher. I have paid launcher pro and ADW launcher but this sweeps the floor with both of them.

I really like Go Launcher too, but has anyone found a solution to the problem when you freeze apps with Titanium Backup, as it still shows the link in the app drawer albeit as a broken link and not the proper icon?
When you freeze in the stock launcher and other launchers it removes the icons.

Does anyone else have lag when sliding trough screens on this launcher please? I never had any lag on my old desire, and I have the exact same set up, such as widgets and amount of screens on both.

Just tried again. Does not matter which ROM or which version of Go Launcher (daily updates sometimes) whenever I freeze an app it leaves a dead link in the app drawer, even after resets or opening and closing the Launcher itself. You must have a different setting somewhere in the options maybe?

Just tried Go Launcher .. and my stand-by current went from 10mA to 70mA.

All u need to do is go into edit mode which is the mode used for moving apps around the app drawer! In order to go into edit mode, all you need to do is long-press any icon of any app in the app drawer. Then click on the small red cross of in the top right corner of the dead link and you will receive a notification that that this app cannot be found, and whether you would like to remove it from the app drawer. Simply click yes Done!

Would also known if somebody expect the same... Me using the launcher quite long, but if this should be true ...

WoW!
I like this clock widget! What is that? Is a Go Weather skin?
Thanks

I find the app drawer responsiveness to be better with Launcher Pro. I set it to fade in at the slowest value too, and it's smooth as anything.
The app drawer on Go Launcher EX seems choppy to draw and also tends to reload the icons on occasion. Also, the custom icons I use for the dock bar take a while to load on first boot whereas with Launcher Pro they're in place when the OS has loaded.
I only use Go Launcher EX because the widget resize option comes as standard where Launcher Pro must be paid for. I am using a 10 rows by 5 column desktop layout.

Alternative launcher?

Hi all......
I'm currently using trebuchet on CM10, and I like the basic, uncluttered, ram friendly operation......
However......
It lacks the ability to "hide" apps in the app drawer. I like the facility to be able to hide apps that I don't use much but don't want to delete (backup apps and apps that perform system tasks/tweaks). I know that some third party launchers can do this....they allow creation of folders in the drawer or can even make the app icons disappear, but some of them can be "resource hungry" which is something I don't want.
Do any of you have any recommendations as to which launcher achieves all this.....and please don't suggest "go launcher"......
Thanks in advance....

You can try nemus launcher. It should have hiding features, and is very light on ram.

Yup nemus is nice. Should try it and it consume not that much of ram
Sent From Viperized Beats Sensation XE

Give Apex Launcher a spin! It's a feature packed launcher and it's light enough on RAM and battery consumption. It has the ability to hide apps too. I've tried Nova Launche before and the only nice feature on the free version is that it's blazing fast. You can't hide apps on the app drawer and the app drawer folders are available on the Prime version only. Well, if you love the look of the ICS Launcher and you want a feature packed, light and free 3rd party launcher, give Apex Launcher a try!
Whew! So much for advertising!

I use Nova Launcher, personally.
Besides, Nova Free has some feature that Apex requires Pro version. Although Nova has a Prime version too.

Thanks for the suggestion Kreaz, but I tried nova and found it somehow less fluid in use than trebuchet.....it seemed more jittery....

for ram friendly try zeam launcher,,for other things that you mentioned you can try nova launcher..

You could give Smart Launcher a try. It's a smooth and fluid launcher in my opinion and has a much simple design.

My vote is for Nova Launcher. Not that it's *the* best, but it's the one I'm most comfortable with.
Another launcher that I liked, but others haven't mentioned, is ADW Launcher EX. It's the one I'm using on my tablet.
And, if you're a design-oriented person, you might fall in love with Lightning Launcher. It is also by far *the* lightest launcher I ever used.

Seems like I'm the only Apex Launcher lover here. ADW Launcher and the EX version of it is also very nice although it's not my cup of tea. Lightning Launcher is also very nice although you only get 1 homescreen. Other good and light launchers are Nemus Launcher and Zeam Launcher. Although the latter hasn't received updates over 2012, it's still nice and functional.

Slight correction: Lightning Launcher has no concept of "paged" home screen, but it's smoothly* scrollable (swipeable?) without bounds to all directions (up down left right), and stops at the extreme position of screen element).
*smooth here means not based on icons; one can scroll a "half-icon" width, or even for only several pixels.

[APP] Nova Launcher Beta (for 4.4.2 with KitKat look)

This the best Launcher I have ever used, fully customizable and looks just like KitKat works on 4.3 and 4.4.2 aswell.
What I like about it is that you can hide apps in the app drawer, like hide stuff or bloatware you don't use and also rename and change the icon of any app. Also works with transparent status bar and navigation buttons.

Still doesn't beat Action Launcher in terms of functionality. In fact, I've seen a lot of people running the Action Launcher 1-Swipe feature over Nova Launcher.

Always rated Nova as number 1.

I've honestly tried almost every other launcher out there, including Aviante. I keep coming back to Nova Launcher. The stock launcher has improved some, but there are still a few things I miss from Nova. The first thing is the pop-up when you long hold on a app icon. That pop-up has "Uninstall" right there, so I don't need to view the App Info just to uninstall it. I can also remove the icon without having to drag it to the top of the screen. Second thing is that other settings such as Wallpaper is within a long-hold + tap's reach. I can also add multiple app icons to the desktop whereas I can't with the default launcher.

TW launcher mod?

Is there a festure/mod/toggle for turning off that crap that comes up when you swipe all the way left on the stock launcher? I really like tw, yes I said I like tw... But I'm used to phones with infinite scroll mods.

Damn. Nobody? Anyone just removed the magazine files in system priv-app

Don't use TW launcher personally. Slow and so limited. Nova, Apex and Go are all superior launchers in speed and features. You get infinite scroll and no magazine UI.

You can try "Weather & Clock Widget Android".

Out of fairness I just gave the Touchwiz homescreen interface another look. I honestly cannot imagine why anyone would choose that interface over the other far more full-featured, lag free and robust launchers available. I mean Touchwiz doesn't even have a scrollable app doc at the bottom of the screen. Using a quality launcher is as close as you can get to running a custom rom without being rooted. Sure its fine for users with no desire to customize and keep things very basic but come on, its weak sauce.

I dont know how but the TW weather widget works fine for me on the nova.. it dosnt work on my s4 though.

Thanks for that. Never bothered checking Sorry no thanks button push. Used all mine up for the day already.

Well I've always hated TW and used launchers like NOVA and my current one, APEX on the Note 3. Now, I am liking the TW so far on the TAB S and still running it. I like the magazine screen and if there were a way to use that on one of those other launchers I'd probably switch. Only lag I've seen so far on TW is when scrolling to the left for the magazine screen.

1st you have to make sure you are running a different launcher like Nova. Then you can either freeze it with TB or Uninstall it. I Uninstaller mine to free the space up. Also removed all the magazine crap and quick briefing.

i have no lag and for the first time really like the Hancom Viewer as well as the Quick Briefing page. i 110% dont think it should be forced on us but would activate if it was.
infinite scroll would be my main request as well as possibly more rows and columns

Well now I am using Nova on the TAB S. After some persistent lag I decided to abandon TW. I tried Apex which is flawless on my Note 3 but it's very laggy on this tablet. Nova has been real smooth so far.
