Its a launcher. Once you select this as your launcher you cannot use sense (widgets) unless off course you just switch back your launcher to htc sense.

take an icon from your app drawer, drag it to the main body of your background, then drag the icon to the launcher and drop.

sure. i dont take credit for it, as i didnt develop it. just found it wasnt showing in market.

What widgets are those btw? Beautiful or some others? Forgive my ignorance, my EVO arrives tomorrow and it'll be my first Android device, just trying to compile a list of all the stuff I wanna try and I certainly like the overall look you've put together w/ADW and that stuff. Love the wallpaper too btw, I've got the very same one in rotation w/others on my desktop, heh.

beautiful widgets for the time/weather & the vibrate widget.
es task manager is the task killer icon on the right of the battery widget.
battery widget is "batterylife" by curvefish in the app market.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Love the launcher, any way to the HTC widgets??
I use the bookmarks, agenda and clock with time/temps .

unfortunately not.
smooth calendar, or android agenda widget is a good replacement for the htc agenda with some more customizable options.
beautiful widgets is another good replacement for the htc clock. with many types of skins.
the bookmarks im not to sure. never use them personally. if i did i would just use the android bookmark "shortcuts"

does this use less battery life and/or memory than say stock sense?

one thing that i noticed is when you turn on your screen and then drag down to unlock, the wallpaper will shift downward as well. is there a fix to this?
i am going to have to dump adw if there isn't a fix for this.. it drives me up the wall.

If you have the device held horizontally its going to do that. If that is what you are talking about. Not a glitch.

I like the RAB and LAB buttons. Very useful.
I have the LAB as Phone (to make calls) and RAB as a folder.
The problem is I cannot add/remove apps from the folder.
I initially created the folder on the desktop, added about 10 apps to it then dragged it to the RAB. Excellent. I have access to those 10 apps almost 90% of the time.
Problem is I cannot add a new app shortcut to that folder.
Is there a way to undock/shift the folder from RAB back to desktop to add app shortcuts then back to RAB?
Because I tried adding an app shortcut to the folder by dragging it from desktop to RAB but that app got registered as the bew RAB and I lost the folder. Had to redo it all over.
otherwise its great.
thanks

this any different from ADW.Launcher in market?

HELP: What is the best keyboard?

I don't know which one to keep and permanently use!
Droid X's? Evos? Swype? Maybe a poll will clear this up...

I'm not sure of the "best" but I usually switch between the stock evo keyboard and swype. The droid x isn't all that great to me.
The stock keyboard and swype are both great keyboards but swype just needs some getting used to. IMO
Sent from my HTC evo using XDA App

I personally like the HTC_IME and Swype.

I have tried a lot of them. The X's keyboard reminds me mostly of the ipod touch. The Evos regular one is cool because of the arrows at the bottom. Swype is interesting but I don't think I'm used to it. DIdn't try fat finger one yet.
Should I seriously start using Swype more often? It's getting all the votes....

I like swype because of its one handed ease of use, and the fact that it's an all around cool keyboard ;-P
Sent from my HTC evo using XDA App

HTC IME (the XDA MOD one)

I hate the stock and HTC_IME..DroidX for a regular keyboard I liked a lot better, I could type as accurate in portrait as I could in landscape with the HTC keyboards. Then I installed Swype and haven't used another. The way I have everything setup with Swype and ADW.Launcher gestures I can operate the phone completely with one hand.

I usually just use swype. I don't even have to look at my keyboard most of the time now, just wish it had a voice input/arrow keys.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

It's so hard to say what is the best keyboard. They all function well, but I lean towards Droid x. stock is good, due to the arrows. HTC_ime mod is good due to the fact of using it for so long (windows was similar to it) Swype.... man I wanna like it, but haven't given it a far try. I will install it, then let it set there without running my fingers over it. Always neglected and always feels left out.

It was in the droidx system dump and it does install but the mic key is crossed out and it pops up messages how its made for another phone and a different resolution.
I wish someone smarter than me would port it

Swype has arrows, swipe from the Swype key thingy on bottom left to SYM key.

I haven't tried any keyboard other than stock as they all seem to have their shortcomings. I couldn't imagine using a keyboard without arrow keys and I certainly want to keep the voice key. The only thing I don't like about stock is how small the space bar is. I keep hitting the period rather than space. I would be much happier if the number key and the voice keys were a little narrower yielding a wider space key.

I like the stock keyboard's functionality, but the Droid X MT keyboard seems a little more accurate and responsive

I don't find myself using the arrows often, but once in a while you pretty much have to have them. Luckily swype has a "text editing" screen that gives you arrow keys, and a few other things like tab, home, end, etc. It is accessed by swyping from the swype key to the sym key right beside it.
You don't need to google around for swype anymore, just google swype and sign up the the free beta. They will send you a link.
I didn't get it for a long time because it didn't seem like it would be so great to me, but now I love it. I have been hopping between roms a lot and everytime I load something fresh, not having swype drives me nuts until I get it installed.

TAB Key
Ok guys, I know a bunch of you are about to roll your eyes but i need help. I love the stock keyboard EXCEPT I want it to have a tab key. I have the Documents to Go app that lets me right in Word but I also need the the TAB key.
Any help??
Thanks in advance!!

[APP] Adw launcher ex!

Just bought the new ex version of adw, and I must say I'm really digging those 3d transitions. Its in the market now, just in time for xmas.
Only issue I'm having is when I hit the home button I get screen previews that pop up on the bottom of my home screen. Other than that, slick.

Awesome! I just saw this on YouTube the other day. Didn't think the release was this close. Still has bugs to be worked out but otherwise sweet
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I'll probably give it a try, but I really dislike the trash can being at the top of the screen. I wish there was atleast an option to have it at the top or bottom.

What bugs? I bought this earlier today and so far so good. Had to get used to new menu layout but other than that i dont see anything wrong with it.
Finally he added the "4D" app drawer. Always liked that. The new transitions are nice. Everything runs nice and smooth.

It has that option in the settings.
I did notice that for some reason my dock disappeared altogether earlier. But after a reboot it came back. I wish we could change the home button action since it seems to just show screen previews instead of going to the homescreen, but maybe Anderweb will include that in an update.

Yeah I purchased the EX version today for a Christmas present to myself Ever since the leaked "freaky launcher" vid was seen around the net i've been anticipating its public launch. My friends w/iPhones are like,why can't our phones do that sorta stuff? Well ask Mr. Jobs that question!

So I actually bought it and was poking around, and sure enough, that option's there Thanks for pointing it out on the forums though, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be looking for that option.

Wish it would go "full circle" too so that when you reach the right most screen next rotation would bring you to the left most one.
Ah ha! Found how to change the home button binding. Its under gestures in case anyone else has this issue.

Anyone know how to get the Settings option back when you hit the menu button? It's gone with the new launcher. Now the only way to get to the settings menu is to access it from the app drawer.

Well, seems like they copied the idea of having 3d home transitions from another home replacement app Dxtop which had transition effects like months ago. Though I believe this is still better?

I love it! Although I've been using lpp for awhile now, and I don't know if I can go without the calendar and facebook widgets. I miss those so much. Also the notification counter that lpp is another must have for me. Can't wait to see how these both develop.

This launcher is niiiiiice!!!

Eh, another thing to purchase? Not sure if it's worth it. Should be included imo.
EDIT: Well I tried it out...and it's buggy and pretty ugly...even the lpp looks better. Right after installing it, I tried testing it out. Sent dozens of texts to myself and not one popped up, and then it force closed. Definitely wasn't worth it. It was that buggy within the time of refunding so I just refunded it. Should be free anyways.

Widget locker...any good?

Hi,
Has anyone been using this app on the Nexus S?
I only came across it after I saw the multiple icons on the lockscreen on one of the advertised themes.
Reviews on other sites suggest that there is a lag issue and other errors...none of them seem to be on the Nexus S.
Comments please.....

Im after the same answer, I saw it being used on the home screen post and it looked very good.
I want to start doing some customisazion of my own.

You can add up to 10 shortcut keys on the unlock screen. So, top left corner is camera, top right camera is LED flashlight, left middle is notes, right middle is google voice, bottom left is unlock andd buttom right is to silence it.
Oh and you can add widgets on the screen so i added a calendar widget.
I love this app and its really worth the money, being able to access some of these apps right from the screen is real convinient, especially the camera and flash light.
The only issue i've run into is that if you turn it on and off real quick, it will show the stock slide to ulock screen, and sometimes it will go back to the original slide to unlock screen, at this point you would just click on widget locker again to start it up.
Overall great app!
Better yet I'll post a video to give you an idea

When i search for it in the market is it the one made by Teslacoil software?

Also, it is a known issue that this app will not work along side NoLed.

Heres a vid of the app.

Also, if you notice in the vid, when I turn it on from sleep mode, it shows the stock slider, thats because turn it off and on within 3-5 seconds, it will show the stock slider.

Cheers for that i'm sold.
Just downloaded it.

Awesome!

Widgetlocker is like quickdesk not like extended controls. You can customize your lock screen with widgets, shortcuts, toggles, apps, weather, etc..etc..

(dev of WidgetLocker)
Just wanted to let you guys know that my primary phone is a Nexus S. So the coming update is definitely well tested on this phone
Also I've been talking to the dev of NoLED trying to resolve the conflict between the two apps. Not solved yet though.

I had the issue when I was using CM7 nightly ROm with Netarchy 1.2.2 kernel. But I was also having other issues such as the lockscreen spontaneously coming on and off. The lockscreen on/off was happening even when i disabled widget locker . so I dont think it was the app.
Since I flashed another kernel, it seems to have resolved.
Hope that helps.

I had that feature in the prior versions. I decided to take it out because it was a bit inconsistent, since the android API post 2.2 (froyo) doesn't garentee the app you're trying to kill will be immediately terminated at your request.

Thanks for the feedback. My primary focus has been on feature completeness, and usability.
For the future updates, I plan to focus on polishing the app, both at the runtime/memory, and at the UI level.
Windows previews is a big one in my todo list. However it's pretty complex, and I'm still trying to get it to work. It's definitely possible though given the amount of screenshot apps in the android market.
Any hints/help regarding how to implement screenshot like functionality is definitely appreciated.

Great job, can you make it so that you can close the open apps by swiping them off the screen just like in web os.
