Best home replacement app?

I want to get some themes on my phone but it appears you need a home replacement app, so whats the best one for the x10?

try Helix Launcher. donut version

For me the best one is PandaHome

Hi kingsize93 - Have you tried Helix and OpenHome+ ??
I'd like to hear your thoughts of them all if possible?
Thanks.

Zeam can be a good option as well

Personally I like Home ++ Landscape looks awesome

GDE is the best!

for me GDE is also the best with the Hero theme. Smooth and cool animation. The cube transition is awesome.

for me Crazy Home is a new home screen replacement for your Android phone with OS 1.6 and higher. Desktops/Screens: Up to 3 separate desktops each with up to 5 screens. Easily scroll through your desktops by swiping up and down. Dynamically add/remove screens or desktops, no restarting needed.

Agrééd! I tried them all, Home++ is simply amazing, especially the powerstrip, wow!

Any way to get launcherpro on the X10?

Home++ is wonderful!! But when I tap on the menu icon, there is a too big time latency before the menù is completely loaded!

That only happens the first time. They did this to accelerate startup. Go to Preferences>Performance>"Lazy load'' and uncheck

When you are in the (Home++) homescreen, hit the menu button (left button on the Xperia with four small squares on it) then you'll see a menu popping up with 'preferences' in the lower left corner.

Home++ is the best and nicest looking i came across.

Helix for Donut
I use the donut version of helix and i am very impressed by it.

Best Homescreen replacement?

I loved to use adw in the past but recently the updates made it unusable for me... so i am looking for a replacement...
Maybe i should just stick to an old version of adw (i unfortunatly didnt backup mine before updating)
So what are you guys using?
Ps: and please dont tell me to google or "this thread already exists" coz i want new information

Yea, ADW has started crashing on ocassions, its really annoying. Dont know what alternative is good like this.

ADW ftw! Never had an issue with it.

I for one am interested in trying the LG Optimus launcher once we get Eclair. Im an organization freak so the customizable app drawer appeals to me. Also looking forward to trying Launcher Pro Plus with Eclair. Currently using ADW and have no problems.

Have you not tried the "group" feature in ADW? Open the app drawer and press the menu button - choose group - New catalog, name it, choose apps to be in it, then when you go into the app drawer you just press the menu button and choose your new group.

I had been using Slidescreen pro since last 3 weeks and with facebook and Google reader integration working with it,i have laid Timescape and the old ADW launcher to rest in peace.
I can assure you would get a different experience once you start using it........

Yeah i use the group feature. I like it but the LG has all apps on one screen with groups seperated by heavy lines with titles. Im being fussy here is all ADW is by far my fav to date. Just looking to try something new.

1.1.4. Have you tried resetting the settings to see if that clears a few things up?

damn i have to write somewhere in my profile that i started to code my own stuff when i was 15 years old ...
sure i tried to reinstall, delete settings, reset, just restart, play with different settings and i even tried to talk to it (j/k)... none of the things worked ...
can you do me a favor and try to press and hold the home key to switch between recent apps and then press the home key again?
everytime i do this i have to set it as default home again - this is way more annoying then the little crashes i experience all the time and for me it makes adw totally useless now ...

Same here too.

thx guys ... and wtf i cant get it to work

try LIVEHOME which is also a home screen replacement, nearly the same as adw but has a few more features, one of them is transitions, you can flick through you home screens like pages in a book (love it). Try it out.

ok after playing around a lot with settings i have to apologize to my beloved adw launcher
ok it still crashes a lot in the newer version but my main problem - that it cant remember the default home - is on the stock android homescreen too so i guess somehow my software is ****ed up *cry* ...
guess i have to reflash (god damnit this **** is more buggy then windows 95)
edit: btw livehome looks really nice ... i like that you can change the icons in the drawer

Update: after reinstall and some hours later i got crashes again and that home-button problem too.
Now i set only the adw-homescreen to "dont auto-rotate" and i have no problems now.

[Q] LauncherPro on X10

Hellow all,
yesterday I decided to change my launcher on my X10
and I found launcher pro on the market
I also installed home switcher (it asked me to install if I can't open launcherpro)
well... what I want to ask is
1. Is it ok to have two launcher in my X10?
because when I installed launcherpro and reboot for the first time, it just went into a forced close loop for about 3 times..
I have set the launcherpro as my default launcher
2. Does the battery decline very fast under laucherpro?
I installed launcherpro, home switcher and adfree yesterday and the battery just declined from 20% to 8% in about two hours
I had never seen this before...
can somebody please help me

I have launcher pro on my x10 and it works great. I dont use home switcher. And no, no battery drain.

how can you open up launcherpro when there is the original one without home switcher?

You should get a option to choose between Launchers.. go to apps-manage apps-find the launcher(default), clear the default action- go back to homescreen-enable chosse launcher as default-pick launcherpro.

Is it done in root explorer?
I cant find the launcher(default)
Is it in the system/app?
I found only SemcHomeL.apk

Go to Settings->Applications->Manage applications->Find Launcher(not LauncherPro), tap on it-> Clear defaults..
Then tap the home button, and choose LauncherPro

This!
All you do is go to Settings \ Applications then find your default home launcher and clear everything, then when you hit the home button, it will ask you which home app you want to use.

I did it step by step, don't judge me!

[Request] widget to open phone log

Sorry if this the wrong forums.
I'd really like a shortcut to phone log I can add to the static part of the screen.
I hardly ever use the phone to dial, just calling old numbers, is there any way to get this?
(Yes I realize it's incredibly lazy not to want to open phone and tap the log section, but that's why I got android, it makes it posible to skip unnessesary steps like this.)
Very happy if someone can help or know an app that does this?
Thanks

EASY!

Howdy Dude,
if you are running ADW you can.
1. long press on desktop
2. select add custom shortcut
3. press pick activity
4. press activities
5. scroll down to contacts
6. expand contacts, then find
7. call log(.callslist.RecentCallsListActiviy)
8. press ok and the shortcut will be on one of your home screens
it's prety cool it doesn't show the 4 buttons at the botom just the list on the screen.
you can do this on most launchers from the market i think. i use adw tho so yeah.
hope that helps.
Pvy.

Sorry, forgot to say, I'm on wolfbreaks 3.9.0 as of right about now.
You think it's posible to use adw with this rom?
Thanks
Edit, it does and it's amazing, I can even get a 100% clean home screen, very happy with this, thanks a lot!

Crap I gotta ask:

In stock launcher...how do you change the apps in the dock?
Thanks

I dont think you can, which is why im now trialing launcher pro and adw. Think im preferring launcher pro ATM, as the scrolling is buttery smooth

Launcher pro runs fastest of all I think once adjusting....the speeds in.preferences.
The Note Widgets are sweet tho!
Damn stupid AW...forcing you into docking apps you don't want there...

Open the App drawer, press menu and choose edit. Now you can place apps in the dock ;-)

Now I only need to be able to bind a swipe up to the app drawer and then I don't need ADW anymore.

It took me a freeking week to realise that one can re-position apps in the drawer and group them in folders.
