(hes actually been working on it, and i will too)
BUGS ( WILL BE FIX SOON )
-The Uninstaller on the app drawers doesnt work yet, it force closes.
-When u open the launcher in the screens you will see "Problem loading widgets",
U can delete them and there should be no problem using the widgets after that,
-LG Calander Widget dont sync with events, but widget does load and work on homescreen, (will see if theres a fix soon)
OTHER GOODIES / WIDGETS
-Analog Clock widgets ( 8 of them )
-Calendar Widget
(WIDGET DOESNT SYNC WITH THE EVENT BUILT APP SO BE PATIENT)
-Memo Widget
Custom Font ROOT USERS ONLY
http://www.4shared.com/file/Ue07CSnb/FontPack-MarkerFelt.html
(thanks to fachadick for this awesome font)
instructions
1) Download the Home selector apk first so you wont have a force close when you go the "Home settings"
and select "Home selector" On your homescreen.
2) download LG EVO Launcher / Widgets to the SD card and download it as you would any other app with "ASTRO , file manager ETC".
3) (ROOT USERS ONLY) Custom font, just flash in recovery as a normal flashable zip

LG LAUNCHER IN THE MARKET
i been scrolling in the android market and came across this application which looks like the port of the old launcher i did a while back,
(this version has bugs on them and doesnt work very well)
i want to first say that it took me a time to make this launcher to work, LG is the owner of this launcher, but still give credit to those who work and put time on this, damn.
ENJOY

Looks sick. Can u post a download link?

I like it however the calendar widget does not seem to work. Is it suppose to pull the events from the sense calendar or go to it when you click a date? As of right now when I click on a date in the calendar widget it does nothing. How did you get the sense clock to work, or is it something diff (forgot the name of the other one lol).

just like touchwiz for samsung,
open the app drawer and click on "Menu" of ur phone and just click organize and drag it to the dock. if this is what you mean,
moving around the icons and labels you have to open the app drawer and just click "menu" theres alot of options there.

Removing
How do I remove items from the dock.
Btw best mod in awhile

you dont, just replace them with another one .... click and drag new one over the one you want to replace.

This is pretty smooth. I wish the rosie launcher would allow you to add your own shortcuts to it. I hate the default shortcuts we're stuck with.

Any chance to optimize sliding? It's quite choppy.

hi, i would like to ask
is the widget itself can be launch by another launcher like launcher pro?

thanks for this its exactly what i been looking for. Is there a way to move whole categories? every new one i make is defaulted to the top.

All stock apps get organize but u can edit them as u please n move them around n change all titles names. All market n other apps install to the phone goes differently to the bottom of the app drawer. N u can also move them around.

Weird... installed just fine... cannot change any of the icons at the bottom. Only has messages and Internet to the right of the programs buttons. Nothing to the left. I don't know why...re-installed same thing. Nice Idea though...

LG Optimus "Home Launcher"

OK guys, if you havent heard of the New LG Optimus phones Series that just came out in korea and Might be here soon in the USA,
found some apks & other things from the original "LG Optimus Z phone" first phone
to launch from the Optimus Series
looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so i play around with the apks, ( launcher and widgets ) and it work perfectly
on the evo (not sure if it works for other phones )with no editing necessary,
THE GOODS
-this launcher makes the phone look a little like the HTC sense cuz of the bottom dock , lets you drag any icons from your menu to the dock.
and a Samsung Galaxy Launcher feel because of the dots on top for amount of screens you have.
-It has a new way of controlling your apps in your menu which i havent seen in many other android phones out ( maybe its just me ), which lets you organize your application on your menu as "categories" or "group" , which its really cool and you can drag and put it anywhere in the menu you want.
THE BAD
- Only lets you have 5 to 7 screens only, and it cant let you have less than 5 screens (which sucks)
Some Other Goodies That Work
-World Clock widget
-Analog Clock widgets ( 8 of them )
-Calendar Widget
-Memo Widget
- Home Selector App
-LG Wallpapers
THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FIX
-Launcher works normal and you can play around with it and no problem but one bug that i wish someone (DEV) to fix is that whenever you open a application and you try to go back by pressing the home bottom on your evo it "Force closes", THE SAME WHEN YOU Launch the "Home selector app" and you pick "LG as your Launcher" Sometimes it "force closes", from there everything else works perfectly and if someone could fix this problem than i might make this my default launcher
- and a way to customize the icons as shortcuts or other way, & drag it to the dock ( not sure if theres other ways ).
but for now ENJOYYY IT AND PLAY AROUND WIT IT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK????
*****Make sure you download the LG HOME & HOME SELECTOR apk first than download the widgets to make it work******
do you have a bookmark widget?
awesome! hopefully one day HTC lets you use their widgets with any launcher
thanks for this. good eye. ill be working with it.
I might be missing something but did you not include the clocks?
I might ne missing something too... where is the download link
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
This is a very handsome launcher, on par with Sense, totally destroys Motoblur and Touchwiz
Those clocks are part of the Widgets. Which is the zip file And yes all the links to download are there in the post.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Nice find!! But I too cant find the analog clock widgets, only the world clock widget.
Some things Ive noticed:
1. These widgets work with other launchers which is nice!
2. In the world clock app, I cant seem to delete Seoul as a city.
3. Default Categories in the laucher can only be renamed, not deleted.
4. The notes widget only lets you have 1 note.
p.s. Im not complaining at all! These are very nice additions to android. Hopefully there are some more widgets coming from LG!!
Edit: Ive noitced that in the screen shots you provided, the world clock widget has a settings button. Mine doesnt, is that where the option to load the analog clocks is?
How do I actually install this launcher?? I want to know!!!
Hm, that actually looks really cool. If a Dev could fix the force close problem I REALLY might use this as my default launcher...

i was able to install the widgets no problem. but the other files show as .bin something... the widgets are really cool but i really do like the launcher.
I don't know if this was said but the bottom tab is like the vibrant dock/tab you need to have the app draw open and drag the icons down to the dock from there.
This is seriously great.
I like 3 screens but this may replace ADW :gasp:
Good find!
Lots of FCs when hitting home from another app.
To install just rename to an apk extension.
Seriously lol how do I get to the analog clocks I've installed and downloaded everything and I can't find them
MY MISTAKE, yea i did forget to put the analog clock widgets sorry , its been updated so download the widget zip pack and its the first apk name as "analog clock apk" .
gonna have to admit, I installed this on my install of cm nightly. I'm really getting into it.
I'd love to see some interest in figuring out how to fix the force closes though. I've looked at my logcat and haven't really come up with thing anything (I'm novice at best though 8P)
Thanks to the OP for the find!
Thanks for the downloads, I just read a review of the device and was hoping someone else was interested in the launcher. Can't wait to use it on my Captivate.
Hopefully it to get noticed by someone who can perfect it to get rid of any FC's.

[GUIDE] How to customize the new ADW Dockbar [UPDATE]

since i searched this and asked in the QA section and no one was able to answer. i figured it out myself and though i would post a little guide here for everyone to find.
ADW 1.3.2 has been released and now you can customize the original dockbar as well. with the new version you are now able to move the center app drawer button anywhere you like. you can even remove it as well.
Requirements are ADW 1.2.0
1. menu > settings > adwlauncher > UI settings
2. make sure that there is a check next to Dockbar
3. return to home screen and then long press on the app tray button and then drag it up until is disappears
4. now you should have completely blank dockbar at the bottom
5. long press on your screen as if you were adding a widget > select custom shortcut
6. from here pick you activity, once you have chosen activity such as an application like gmail, press the icon and select you custom icon
7. when finished you will have a shortcut to your app you selected, select the app and drag it to the blank dockbar and whala custom dockbar icons in ADW
you can place as many shortcuts as you want into the dockbar and it becomes scrollable just like LPs dockbar. ADW currently allows 6 dockbar icons visible as opposed to LPs 5. with about 15mins of your time you can have customized ADW like mine below. also, if you customized dockbar disappears and you see the original dockbar, just simply long press on the app draw and swipe up and your customized one will return.
with the release of 1.3.2 and being able to customize the app draw icon you can not have 2 seperate fully customizable dockbars. the primary 5 icon drawer and the swipeable scrolling one below.
1. go to menu-settings-adwlauncher-ui settings-main dock style; select 5 icons
2. follow the instructions above to customize the dockbar
3. swipe the main dockbar up to get to the scrollable dockbar and customize it.
4. swiping up and down between the two dockbars is pretty self explanatory.

you need the new 1.3 version of adw for this. if you already have, it all you have to do is create a custom shortcut like in the op and drag it to the original app drawer.
"ADW 1.3.2 has been released and now you can customize the original dockbar as well. with the new version you are now able to move the center app drawer button anywhere you like. you can even remove it as well."
Great. Any suggestions as to how to get it back when you've dragged something over it inadvertently?

Sleek Sexy Hi-res Custom Icons *UPDATED* 19/2

Hey guys, ive made myself some custom icons as i wasn't really happy with what was out there. Ive set them up with Desktop Visualizer so they are bigger.
If anyone else is interested id be happy to upload them and share them to the community.
im also in the process of making a hancent theme to match, and the app market
If anyone does end up wanting them and you need a icon i'll make it for you, only if you request it like this
Application name
[image/link to icon]
Colour you would like (if other colours end up being made)
So i guess this is my contribution to the community lol
My home screen setup with them

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Actual size of icons in .psd, so you can have them pretty big on the homescreen if you want.
INSTRUCTIONS
You'll need
- Home Screen replacement adwEX / Launcher Pro ect... ( I use adwEX so ive only tested on that)
- Home screen setup to 10x10
- Desktop Visualizer + config tool (both free in market)
- Folder Organizer (optional)
First setup your home screen to 10x10 and install DVR
Copy all the .pngs to the dvr folder on your sd card
Long Press the home screen and create a dvr config widget, place it in the top left corner and tap on it, set it to 10x10, exit out. Move it to the bottom right tap on it. It will confirm itself. You can delete that widget off the home screen now.
Long Press the home screen and create a DVR widget 2x1 for the size on my home screen or resize the widget 4x2 to have it double the size, or 8x4 for a HUGE one.
Tap on the widget to set it up, under "icon" select image and navigate to the dvr folder and image of choice.
Under action you can choose what you want the widget todo, ie; Launcher an app.
Leave the label blank, and touch effect to whatever colour you like. (im using blue)
When you are done, tap OK and your new icon/widget will be set up.
If you have folder organizer you can setup the app draw icon to link to the app folder via "other/folder organizer link/applications" in the DVR action menu. ( its how i have it setup)

I'd love to get this for my Tab (XXJID), but whenever I install a launcher (Launcher pro or ADWex) my tab reboots after a few minutes and is stuck in a boot loop.
Only way to fix this is removing the launcher in safe mode.
Do you have any idea how i could get this to work?
Does anyone know the actual pixel sizes for all the different sizes for desktop visualizer widgets on the tab?

Sent from my GT-P1000
Can't seem to recreate your theme
I've done the DVR config, set ADW EX to 10x10 then set the Widgets up to 2x1 but the icons are too big to fit 5 in a column. Any ideas where I've gone wrong?
Edit: fixed this by enabling 'auto stretch wifgets' in ADW settings
Also, where do we need to put fonts for Minimalist Widgets to be able to use it?

Well so far I've tried ADWLauncher Ex, ADW.Launcher, Launcher Pro and GO Launcher EX.
So far GO Launcher EX is the only one that at least works for almost a minute, before the Tab reboots and is stuck (started through the finished installation notification).
Pressing the home button does nothing except vibrating sometimes.

ADW Launcher 2 (Pre-Alpha)

Video by 96edwy:
New widget options on long-press:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When you are on a home screen and long press on a widget, you now see more options than before including shortcuts to the Application info and Market pages for the app. You can also quickly set up custom shortcuts using ADW’s menus rather than the standard Android process.
New app drawer functions on long press:
These new app drawer functions are probably the most impressive. You can now long press on apps from within the drawer to see a variety of options, giving you more control over the look and feel. You can also add folders directly in, plus a bunch of other shortcuts. After playing with the new app drawer for 30 seconds, you see how amazing these new tweaks will be once this thing gets fine-tuned and is ready for release.
sweet just downloaded..
out of curiosity AnderWeb (sc) still work on this?
for a beta.. it's very.. alpha or RC phase imo..

wow I am surprised this is thread isn't getting attention. with so many ADW users I'm surprised I had to stumble upon the beta 2 version. I have been looking forward to a skinnable app drawer launcher for sooooo long and I love ADW.
many people like Adw but as a launcher it does not have anything special. Lets say similar to Go launcher.
Adw has only cosmetic things. None of them are usefull very much.

I disagree with that statement..
second Hidden dock
adjustable column rows
drag and drop apps to the dockbar
probably more that i can't think of on the top of my head..
and to whoever said something about the dockbar background.. if you purchase ADW Ex it offers that feature to easily switch out the dockbar bg :x
Go Launcher is good don't get me wrong, (currently using it) just that only reason I'm not on ADW is cause my theme just works too well to not have the ability to have a looping theme.
with Go launcher:
* you can kill applications
* you can hide icons
* you can uninstall
* you can create folders
* it has built-in task manager
* it has built-in recent
from straight app-drawer.
Adw has none of these. But it has many dock backgrounds, themes, fancy colors...etc.

Finally I found replacement for stock GB launcher. Looks like it's based on GB launcher but with additional features . Can't wait for new versions

with Go launcher:
* you can kill applications
* you can hide icons
* you can uninstall
* you can create folders
* it has built-in task manager
* it has built-in recent
from straight app-drawer.
Adw has none of these. But it has many dock backgrounds, themes, fancy colors...etc.
You decide?

With froyo .. you don't need to KILL any applications..
you can hide icons in ADW by creating categories.. and you don't need to go to a menu to make them show when you "hide" them..
you can uninstall apps from adw by holding them to the trashcan..
you can't have folders in the app drawer in adw but like i said before.. categories..
You can always access recent apps by holding the home button.. which I have always done.
As I've said.. Go Launcher is a GREAT launcher.. but don't cast out ADW that easily..

ADW is awesome, I don't really see much use of this function though. How does it benefit you?

QUOTE END
Uninstallig apps works the same way in go launcher, furthermore, you can also uninstall them directly in the drawer.
Accessing recent apps pressing the home button works as well, however, there also is a category for that in the drawer.
Don't get me wrong - I love adw and have been using it for month,but go launcher is really awesome as well.
Lets see what adw launcher 2 will be capable of.
Sry, quoting wasn't working for some reason....

I use it this way: the regular dock only has one button which opens the app drawer.
When I swipe my finger up the screen, the hidden dock appears containing all the docks apps.
I like that because it prevents me from accidently starting apps.

I just downloaded ADW yesterday (no, not the one attached here ... got it from the market).
Can someone tell me how the hidden dock is supposed to work? I have checked it, but don't know how to call/invoke it.
Thanks
You choose open/close dock as swipe up action and when the dock is closed you drop apps on the bottom part of the screen.
Hope that helps.

This is awesome, but I love me some LauncherPro.

Totally, it eliminated an entire home screen for me and changed the way I organize entirely.

many people like Adw but as a launcher it does not have anything special. Lets say similar to Go launcher.
Adw has only cosmetic things. None of them are usefull very much.

Why are you here if you dislike ADW? LOL. This thread is about ADW beta and you can start your own hate thread somewhere else.
That aside, I've just tried the beta and really looking forward to the new functions in ADW EX.

[APP][2.3.3+] Devbro Appdrawer 1.3.280

Introducing Devbro Appdrawer by me(Devbro)
What is it?
This is a appdrawer replacement. In the normal appdrawers that exists right now, you can only organize your apps in generic ways(alphabetically, more recently used,...) or in folders that make accessing your apps one step further to reach. No more worries. Devbro Appdrawer now fixes this problem. You can organize your apps in folders and swipe to access them. It can be easily replaced with all general appdrawers, just replace the shortcut in go launcher, ADW launcher and etc. Or you can create a shortcut to it for daily use.
What else can it do?
You can organize your folders in whatever customized order you like. It is also possible to uninstall or view each app's info just by long clicking on the icon.
What is the cost?
It is free. No catches of any kind.
What are the permissions for?
I am looking to see how my app will be used by other people. So There is a small code that send me a list of your folders and how you organized them. There is also a list of how you ran your programs.
All data that are being sent are generated from within the app. nothing else is sent. If you do not like the idea you can simply disable it from the settings menu. If you like to do this manually, there is also an option for it in the settings.
sdcard access is needed for backup and restore
Do you like my app?
If the answer is yes, then just use it and tell your friends about it. You can also give it 5stars in the market.
Do you have a suggestion/Did you find a bug?
Just post it here and I will look into it. Thanks in advance.
Do you want to help?
As per suggested, I need a new icon. If you have seen one that I can use post a link here please.
Which feature that you like to see next?
1. dark theme, theming options - done

I am strongly considering this. It may take me a while as most of the code that I am using are not part of GB. Fear not I shall find a way to do this.
would it be too much to ask for a direct download link? I don't have wifi access and can only download from download sites :s

I am glad to hear I haven't done any major testing on 4.2 yet. Are there any problems?
Good idea! It works fine in my Galaxy s3 with mihome launcher. My feedback is this:
1) app icon should be more like a generic launcher icon. Current icon isn't representative of what most people are used to looking for an app drawer.
2) hide the title bar so it feels more like a native app drawer. Maybe even give the option of a transparent background.
3) default black theme looked ugly because the folder label had a white background. How about making the folder label background transparent and underlining the name instead?

I am seriously considering all your good advices. I am not a graphic designer, it takes longer to come up with more effective graphical designs. Creating icons are not easy it may take me a little longer to create or find one.

I've installed the appdrawer and created some groups, but I don't understand what I should be doing next. What are shortcuts?

By shortcuts I meant to put it on your screen as a widget.
The goal of this app is to improve the speed that you find and launch your apps. So you spend less time finding them.
