I know a lot of you guys are like me and rarely venture outside of this sub-forum. I found this home replacement earlier today, and I'm pretty impressed. Figger I'd give you guys a heads up.

I like it.. And it works on our phones perfect so far, with jit enabled.
EDIT:: It doesnt not support live wallpapers... But I still might use this as my default.
I dont use sense, since I have jit on my phone.
Not to hijack the thread, but have you also given GDE a whirl? Especially on an OC'd 2.1....SCREAMS. A+ for cube and fade as well....I toggle b/t Helix and GDE as my favorites.
Gave Zeam a whirl, and it's decent....but 9 screens is definitely a lot, especially if you're like me and really only use 3 lol...

I usually use 5 screen.. Helix supports 11 i think.
But ill check out gde
EDIT: helix seems to be the only launcher then i have ran jit files on without a problem. Zeam just froze on me.
so how does this perform compared to sense?

Shouldn't be an issue w/ GDE. And LWP's work flawlessly, though I would advise when setting up GDE for the first time, leave the transition on "normal" rather than "high".

It was MUCH faster then sense.. Set it as defualt, and end the process of your other launcher and then it was very snappy for me.
Home switcher is the easiest way to switch between homes. And I used gde in the past with jit on damage v1 and it worked great.

sorry...is that beautiful widgets clock? i must have an old version, because that looks JUST like sense. does the latest bw have full weather animations on the screen like sense?
ohh and one more question; is there a bookmark widget like sense has? the closest thing ive found is the one that comes with Home++....are there any that dont require a specific agternative home?
wow.thanks for letting us know.installed it.this thing is superrr smoooth.love it.thanks
Beautiful widgets does full screen animations when you click on the weather button, but not when coming out of lock.

gayyyyyyy
any word on the bookmark widget?
I installed Zeam and gave it a whirl. It was Ok, but a bit laggy for me. I haven't found anything faster than Helix so far.
If Helix would allow for 1x1 widgets in the "dock" then it would be PERFECT...I want to be able to see my mail/text/VM unread counts and the dock doesn't allow for that, only shortcuts.
Otherwise yeah, Helix has been the fastest home I've used.
EDIT: Zeam crashed with JIT enabled on Fresh 2.0d, not sure why. Tried GDE and WHOAAAAAA...I'm sold. GDE it is.

Nice. Ty
Very Cool thanks
So I flashed the launcher, rebooted and deleted launcher2 and everything is running really smooth man. I also haven't had 1 force close on the launcher yet, had a couple a day with the launcher2. Runs really smooth and love that I don't have to deal with the delayed scrolling anymore in the app menu! Great job man!
Where Can I get google's original source code for their apps?
I'd like to start making my own modifications (have basic java knowledge) but not sure where to start. I downloaded Launcher2 from cyanogen's github but it appears to be referencing missing classes. any held is appreciated. thanks
I have a req for some programming assistance. I like to mod a launcher to have a continuous scrolling (same as in GDE or home+).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mifjmm_Nznc
Do any of the pro's here know how this is done?
15/2 updated launcher, faster than before
Installed this launcher, deleted my launcher2(after backing up in multiple ways of course), but all good so far.
Had one stall out which rebooted the phone, but honestly not sure what it was from.
I was creating a "call" Shortcut via better cut, but also still had launcher2 installed at the time. my 25% setCPU profile was just turning on as well so many things could have caused it.
Great work so far.
*Update* No problems since, this was likely an unrelated problem

i hope someone is able to help you with this mate- maybe the person who first modified the G1 launcher, whose name escapes me at the moment (I know rogro took over after a while but he now has GDE)...
By continuous scroll you mean the fast swype of whatever they call it so you can swipe from first screen to eg. 4th screen with a fast swipe? Or a continuous move from 5th screen around the corner to first screen?
Both of these would be awesome!! lol.... plus folders in the launcher to clean things up would be great.
you are doing a great job mate. thanks
thank you!

Install "home switcher" from market or clear launcher defaults in settings/application settings/manage applications
If you want the nexus one launcher and you are running 2.1
Look for "Helix Launcher" in the market....it is free and can have up to seven screens. Just hit menu, and configure up to seven screens. I just downloaded and it looks pretty sweet so far.
I’ve heard from both 2.0.1 rooted and nonrooted users as being able to see this in the market.Please let me know if you can’t. If you have a rooted Android 2.0.1 device and can’t see this app, there is a simple hack you can do to make 2.1 apps viewable and then downloadable in the market. *
Most of my information was found in TechBuzz
If you double tap on the screen, it will pull I all seven of your screens!

WOW this is amazing makes my phone perfect!
That's what I was thinking.....with DamageControl it is ridiculously amazing!!!!!!
has anyone else played with this yet? i like it alot... very good idea imo, it also goes sideways at the homescreen and still looks good (unlike GDE)

I am assuming this has to be ran on the standard home, not Sense UI?
i would commit to running this 100% of the time if i could get my htc widgets from Sense, including the clock (yes i know about beautiful widgets and i dont like it)... i really would like the widget to disable mobile network as well
No I just realized that it does not use the clock or bookmark Widgets that I like.....but I might be able to find replacement Widgets in the market that would suffice.
Being able to have seven screens, rotate sideways on the home screen, and have five icons going up and down....is a huge plus.
I'm loving this so far and its free...LOL.
and now im eating my words with beautiful widgets... but i cant get the version i have (the one before thy changed it to not look like sense) to download weather animations...
so the newest "weather widgets (yr.no)" in the market is awesome... it looks like the sense clock and when you tap the clock it takes you to the default (sense) clock application...
ps: it's free in the market
Edit: but the weather widgets one wont go sideways without screwing up (unlike Beautiful widgets)... damn
Edit: #2 i now have the old beautiful widgets clock (like sense) and the weather animations working... if anyone wants to know how shoot me a PM since i dont want to post Warez

i highly doubt LWP will work with this for the same reasons it wont work with sense (wasnt designed for seven screens)
odd.. it says 7 screens and LWP supported..
EDIT: on home screen.. press menu and configure.. you can adjust the screen amount up to 7.. I still cant get LWP to load..

I stand corrected, but untill a dev gets LWP working correctly with our hacked up 2.1 roms (or the official 2.1 comes out) then we wont have LWP anyways, even if it's supported

have you tried this? it deff isnt like "standard home"
and the only thing that sense has on this is special widgets...
Yea, this is pretty feature packed as well....def not like plain Jane vanilla HOME.
I am finding things to replace the "special widgets" and gaining more space. Its pretty hot.
Either witch way....its fun to check out, and best of all free!!!!
the only widget id love to keep is the full calendar.... i dont use everything else... maybe the bookmark one thats about it...

Beautiful Widgets in market.
The launcher from the Tmobile G2 now has 7 home screens, and the hot keys ( Phone and browser buttons) are customizable. The only problem is, the apk that allows you to customize the hot keys force closes every time you try to open it. Is there a way a developer can fix the apk so it doesnt force close?
Im attaching the 2 apks
Also, dont say to just get launcher pro or adw, i have them both already
That would be awesome I hope somebody can fix the .apk
i dont mean to sound like a noob, but how do you install the launcher2 apk?
What is the point of this when we have LauncherPro and ADW which allow FULL customization?
I wonder does this include the new Google voice widget?

No, you have to get the new Google Voice from here for that. Note: The dialer button doesn't work with Sense ROMs.

Anyway, i for one hate ADW AND LauncherPro. I think they make the phone look like a fake chinese knock off. I'd take Sense over anything but the AOSP Launcher which i am currently running over the newest Bakedsnack, it's like Ava's V10 Froyo that never happened. .
Good job OP, i appreciate your contribution to the community.
Honestly, ADW is almost an exact replica of this, just with tons more features.
This launcher is nice, especially the 3D drawer (better than LauncherPro's 3D drawer because of the smoothing on the top and bottom rows), and may be the best "stock" launcher.
I'm a LauncherPro Plus guy, but I'll have this one running alongside it when the orientation issue and hotkeys are fixed up.
Edit: Whoops, there's no orientation issue...I forgot forgot that its a feature in both LP and ADW, haha.

maybe ADW does but launcher pro does not, in launcher pro you can customize the icons in the dock and have your own images there to make it look however you want, my launcher pro i customized to make it look almost exactly like the Stock froyo launcher, it looks great.

choices ? idk id like to try it
download it from your device then open it up with astros or preferred file manager, or just mount you device on you computer and drag the file to your sd card then put your device in charge only mode and open with astros, etc. and install
So one of the only things I find myself salivating at on my wife's HTC Incredible 2 is the Sense weather/clock widget. Thing looks badass. I've found some of the ripoffs on the appstore, and have installed Beautiful Widgets, which has some pretty cool clocks, but a lot of them look like janky crap.

Do you guys have a favorite or has anyone found one that gives the sense widget a run for its money?
Fancy Widget Pro is great. I prefer it over Beautiful Widgets and Weather Toggle & Widgets.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidgets
I guess the new version is called just Fancy Widgets
Weather and Toggle Widgets. I use the Digital Clock skin:
Thanks for the suggestions The couple of clocks I've downloaded for Fancy Widgets(I only had free before, but just bought full version) are already way better quality than the ones on Beautiful Widgets. Will try to post a screen shortly
Beautiful Widgets is my favorite. Lots of options and skins

Second to that, plus they had it as an Amazon Free App of the day once. Woohoo!
Beautiful Widgets all the way. I've been using the destroy skin with a transparent background. Around 50% that way I can see my screen background.
DroidX Eye Clock widget
At some point in the last nine months I had a DroidX Clock widget on my OG Droid. I really was just a clock widget that used the DroidX Eye as a background, and offered a choice for the eye color (red, blue, green, yellowish). It was lost at some point in one of the many times I flashed different roms to that phone. I have looked a few times in the last couple of months, but have been unable to find it.
If anybody has seen that widget, or has it, I'd love to get it installed on my Droid Charge.
(BTW: Verizon tunred on 4G in my area today, and it is crazy fast... loving it).
Actually. Use go launcher and then get.goweather. your wife will be salivating looking at your phone. They.have an htc style clock that is better than htcs. And the coolness.of go launcher is a "see it to appreciate it" thing. Set your app drawer to have the blind effect. Its awesome lol.

Advanced clock pro is an alterative if you like a modern look. I also use aix weather.

Check out GS Flip Clock wallpaper. I'm running version 4.3 on my Samsung Tab and it's fantastic. It is as close as you can get to the HTC version. It had some growing pains initially, but as of version 4.3 everything seems to be working great.
I didn't pay for it, so I must have found the apk via Google. I remember searching for quite a while because HTC had been putting the smack down on any developers who used the flip clock style.
Currently it is on the market (website only, it didn't show up when I searched using the market app on my Charge) for $2.00. Since I'm a "noob" I can't post the direct link. Search for GSFlipClockWallpaper by Sergey Golovanov

I spent hours (literally) poking away at Adwlauncher EX and this is what I came up with. Compared to what it used to be (first post) I like being able to use more of the screen and force widgets to be the way I want...but still not sure about the smaller icons. No way to have the exact same icons in Adw?
I would very much like for this thread to survive like similar threads have on other subforums, so I guess I'll try to breath some life into it once again.
I ended up going portrait only for my homescreen and like it:

Screen 2, Work:

thats it, well atleast until i've getting bored and start build another one...
What launcher and what's the notebook thing in the third pic?
sorry, i forget to tell the ingredient:
-adw launcher 1.3.3.1
-palmary weather
-circle launcher
-desktop visualizer
-minimalistic text
-multilive wallpaper
the notebook is a picture i found on google and photoshop it lil bit, as for the application shortcut on the left page, i use desktop visualizer with exported pen memo drawing for the icon...
Is being able to customize the top toolbar with shortcut to apps etc only in normal adw or have I missed it in adw launcher ex?
Im sorry i dont understand your question...
afaik the top toolbar is uncostumizeable, as for the screen icon on the left I use laucher action shortcut and yes perhaps it's only available on the adw launcher ex version
Seems to be a difference between ADW launcher EX versions then. On mine, which is the latest, it seems there's only the drop-down menu button and no way to change it
That home screen is really cool dewadewi. Thanks for some cool ideas, I was hoping for a new kind of homescreen setup other than the common android/honeycomb one. I like the launchers.
