I used LCD resoloution and it worked...kind of...
It changed the resoloution but i couldnt move the apps out of a certain boundary.
Anyone know how i can get it to work? i'd love to put more apps on one page.
That's controlled by you launcher not lcd density. Go into your launcher settings if on one that has options and find where it says rows and columns. Up the number for more columns(sideways) or more rows(up and down).

quick question about adw launcher though, does it randomly hide your status bar too? (the bar on top withh the time / battery life.
That should be an option in ADW. On a home screen, press Menu -> Preferences. Then it should be pretty clear, if i remember.

May have a swipe gesture set to hide/show status bar and if you slide finger will hide status bar swipe up or down worth a try..also in launchr settings...

For future reference, this is a limitation of using a custom resolution with the Market. There's certain resolutions that work, and most market apps will only install with these resolutions. LDPI(120), MDPI(160), HDPI(240), XHDPI(320). Anything else will give you "This app is incompatible with your device". Sometimes you can get around it, other times you cant.

Yeah its adw sometimes it will drain it but go into your running services. Settings>Applications>Running Services. And turn off some things that are running like DRM Services, Sns (if you don't use facebook), .com.samsung.info. android core apps, google services. Etc when your not using your phone these things don't need to be running but will reappear when you need them.
Also quit turning your phone on to look at the battery it won't sleep right if your constantly waking it up....

Every time I go into an app and go back home launcher pro restarts and all my screens are blank and my app drawer will not open. Does anyone know a fix to this?
Thanks
same problem , i dunno i just switched launchers i got really tired of it
Which one are you using now I am will to change to a good one too.

try that script
I assume you mean it's redrawing/reloading.
I had the same problem with LauncherPro when I was running stock with 5 home screens full of widgets...It would be quite delayed simply reloading the widgets when switching between landscape and portrait.
No problem now though since I rooted and Rom'ed!...It's been quite the difference.
FWIW...I hear TouchWiz Launcher doesn't have this problem. jk
I hate it when LauncherPro does that! But, I found a stock 2.3 launcher on the market by eugene373 or something like that, and I don't have that problem anymore.
Posted from my awesome EPIC.
Launcher Pro allows you to control its memory usage in the advanced settings. If you set it to "High", it will prevent all the redraws. I have 7 screens full of Widgets and icons and don't have any issues.

Had this phone for Two days now and LOVE it. Way better then evo 3d I had. Only issue I have is I struggle to unlock it every time. Maybe the size maybe the touchwiz screen. Either way it makes me crazy. Anyone make a suggestion of a different lock screen that is stable and won't mess up the excellent battery life.
Btw I have no interest in rooting but don't mind buying an app if needed. Also I have no issue with other parts of touchwiz just the lock screen.
I use widget locker. You can set that up any way you'd like. I have the stock aosp lock screen. Does wonders.

Widget locker allows you to customize the lockscreen with a ot of different options. So the AOSP lockscreen is when you slide the icon across to unlock you phone. It is Androids stock lock screen that ships with Android if Samsung or HTC wouldn't add their own.
Agile lock is pretty good too. It gives you a lockscreen similar to sense 3.0

I replaced my stock lock screen with widget locker and haven't experienced any problems (including battery life). It could be that people using widget locker are placing battery intensive widgets on their lockscreen.
Yeah I haven't had any problems with battery life or any slow downs either. This phone handles the battery and speed well. You can set it up however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can even download themes. I just like it so much because I don't have to use the original lock screen for our phone.

Well, I have to admit it that I dont like ADW launcher in CM7. I prefer much more simpler such like Gingerbread launcher. I found one but it kept FC on me. Do you know where to find one that is working properly?
I can't say I I have a gingerbread launcher apk, but "zeam" is a simple launcher in comparison to adw at least it has been to me in the past

I had Zeam on my phone for a looooong time. Gave up on it after a couple of bad updates that introduced lag and switched to LauncherPro. Despite having larger footprint, IMHO LP is pretty lag free and has the features that I want (scrolling widgets) as well as a way of saving the dock settings. Zeam kept crashing on my Epic, and there was no easy way to restore the icon spacing etc. settings. Granted, I never ran it on CM7 Epic, but still have Zeam as my choice launcher on my CM7 Nook Color. I also have ADW EX (the premium version of ADW) and feel that its interface is not very intuitive/somewhat clunky vs. both Zeam and Launcher Pro - but it is the most full-featured and customisable one of the three. Never tried Go Launcher but heard some very good things about it.

And another +1 for Go Launcher, although it seems like it's a bit too full-featured to be considered a "simple" replacement. I don't have any issues with the options, but I could see it being somewhat confusing for anyone wanting just a plain home replacement.

I like go launcher but I remember reading something from konane (I believe) and he said that within golauncher there was a similar service to carrier iq and that it sends reports (or something) to the developer with info about our phone. That is why most people inlcuding myself expirience poorer battery life with go launcher. Other than that I think Go launcher is the way to go!

Will Team Syndicate's "ICS Launcher"(https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwyLDEsIm1vYmkuU3luZGljYXRlQXBwcy5JQ1N2MiJd) get updated, because right now I cant edit the icons in the dock or in the app drawer.
The only prob I have is it force closes like ten times a day. Other than that I think it's great. For the dock just drop the app you want where you want it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Ya I know but in the app drawer you can't edit where the icons are, like in Go launcher for example.Same goes for the dock.
It has potential but there is NO support for the launcher from the developer. Here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268003 good luck.
Also, "Will this get updated" questions for market apps are pointless. No one here is in charge of it...

I fixed the FC by hitting menu button going into launcher settings.. then Launcher controls then *check* system persistent.. Ive never had a force close since then and im running the latest CM7 nightly 39 =D Hope this helps.
Just use Go Launcher with an ICS theme... looks and functions almost the same. I was running an older version of the ICS launcher, before it hit the market and it was much better.
go to their website: http://syndicateapps.com/main/ICS_Releases.html
and picked the 3th one, that the one i use and it doesnt fc.
I use launcher pro, but I was wondering other people's opinion because I don't. Know what makes one better than the other. Performance speed.and things like that. I just know I hate touch wiz.... thanks in advance.....

I've paid for and used Launcher Pro and ADW EX each for months, then I saw saw the thread here on sslauncher. Free, and amazing. I'm never going back to the others.
Launcher Pro was my favorite, but it is becoming outdated due to lack of updates. GO Launcher EX has great features and is free. ADW EX is also good but it is a paid app. I would go with GO Launcher EX. Its fast, lots of customization, and its free.
I actually like TW compared to the others I tried (which is about all of them). I like to be able to touch the dots to change screens instead of swiping. I can go from homescreen 1 to 5 with just one touch. Same with the app drawer. I have 12 pages of apps. I don't need to keep swiping from one page to the other to get through them all, or if I have it on continuous, I don't have to scroll from top to bottom. If I'm on page 1, and I need page 10, I just tap that dot.
I like Go better than all the rest. I like the ease of being able to long press an icon and then being able to delete from screen, change the icon, or add a gesture on the homescreen.
I also like the fact that in the app drawer you can hide apps from showing without having to freeze them using titanium backup. I use this to keep my app drawer organized. I hide all the apps in the app drawer that i have in my dock. No point in having them show up in 2 places.
Also with Go you can have up to 3 docks. you just swipe left or right to get to more apps on the dock. I use this to keep my homescreen as clean looking as possible.
ADW Launcher EX is great! But on ICS I use APEX, Nova Prime, and sometimes Trebuchet, but I only have ICS on my Kindle Fire right now so I can't get the full experience on my phone. ADW Launcher EX can be themed in multiple ways, I use the ICS theme on my phone. So basically use ADW!
