Has anyone gotten this app to work on their X10?? I have searched and searched and can't find any info on compatibility as far as OS 1.6 is concerned. I just can't seem to get it to work. Reviews on it are all pretty good so id like to make it happen. Im using Helix Launcher as well if it matters.
Ive also just tried to use it with ADW Launcher that is listed in this forum. I cannot get this thing to work
The app runs fine on my X10... which is to say once I went through the first configuration I could launch the app manually by selecting it in the app drawer.
However , I can't get it to launch off any of the hardware keys using press, double-press, nor press-hold. I'm using ADW.Launcher, so that may have to do with it.
Make QuickDesk default Home.
ive been having the same problem. will post if i can figure out how to get it working.
I got it working eventually (not sure what I did differently from before). You have to clear your launcher default, then select QuickDesk as your default launcher, and within it's settings specify the actual launcher you want to use.
I ended up uninstalling it though. Between using Quick Settings for managing all my toggles, and the black screen delay between pressing the home button and actually having the home screen display under QuickDesk, I wasn't all that impressed.

If you are facing difficulties setting up QuickDesk on your phone, here a guide for you, http://droidbar.net/2010/09/quickdesk-setup-guide/
QuickDesk works fine with both LauncherPro and ADW.Launcher.
I installed Launcher Pro. I read that you can switch between launchers with a selection. I thought you could do it by press on screen, like when adding a widget, and it would be there. But it isn't.
I have searched through the settings, and can't seem to find it.
Any thoughts?

download home switcher from the market or go here
settings/applications/manage applications/select your home screen program
I dont have an android phone yet so someone correct me if i'm wrong ^^
You can download HomeSwitcher from the Market
Without a switcher, you can go into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/LauncherPro/Reset Defaults. Then next time you hit the Home button, it'll ask you again which one you want and if you want to set one as default again.

Cool, Thanks.
Uh, now how do you use it? So then I guess I just need to have an icon for it on the desktop.
I did think I saw somethign that brought up a list just by pressing on the screen. Maybe a different app, or settings. I'll continue to investigate that...but thanks again. I can do what I need!
What a great site this is. I hope to return the favor of helpful answers as time goes on.

Long press on the icon and you can change the shortcut options (which app to use, which icon to use, etc)
Whats the app need to be for the phone...
If I select "Phone" application... it doesnt' quite operate like the stock launcher...
When on a phone, the stock launcher when you click on the phone icon, goes to the dialer/call information... when you launch the phone application, it goes to the keypad but not the current call window...
you can get to the current call window by going to the status screen adn clicking on the little green phone during an active call though...
any ideas?

You can't use the "Samsung Widgets" outside of TouchWiz. Go to the market and search for clock widgets. There are dozens, free and otherwise.
Thanks! This is my first android phone so this is all new to me!!!

Samsung, this is pathetic!
Wasted 2 hours of my life dealing with your stupidity.
heres the solution (problem was launcher pro):
1. grab the homeswitcher from market
2. set touchwiz crap as default.
3. reboot phone.
from then on, kies acts normally, phone gets detected normally etc etc etc.
thanks for wasting my time samsung.
edit: even after this i had probs, seems i need to reboot phone everytime i need to connect it. on first connect after fresh reboot it seems to work. goodluck. (very very very poor software as expected from samsung)
edit2: this is a bug fest! who coded this samsung? some student? jesus this soft is so bad it kills all the experience. what a piece of junk. barely works. flaky. buggy. samsung, fire your software team asap. they suck. only a true amateur can output this kind of garbage. this is below badly coded visualbasic garbage.

What's the action to execute TWlauncher ? (I mean the TouchWiz app-drawer)
I would mixup LauncherPro homes with TW horizontally scrolling apps
I wonder if there's a way to strip out the touchjizz widgets and use them in launcher pro or something, or make them available for any launcher replacement. I actually like the calendar clock widget.
I'll try picking touchjizz apart tomorrow at work if I get some extra time.

Sounds like you are on jf6. Updates have become available. Try a froyo Rom. Also there is a nicely modded touchwiz launcher in the themes and apps section.

So its a new year and I have a new toy,
I seem to have a set of apps that give me the functions and control I desire.
Its down to Launcher.
I did pay for the upgrade to the AWD EX and to my dismay it does not recognize old settings and desktop configurations. But hey.. Just more tinkering with my new SHINY...
My plan now that I have pretty much decided on the apps I want on the phone is to go to the Pick and Pack ROM with the Voodoo Kernel.
I do want to do some testing with the 3 different Launchers (AWD, Launcher Pro, and TW) and see which will suit my needs for Eye Candy and function..
OK.. to the question at hand. I will have all three on the phone installed. I do not like having to choose between the three every time I hit the HOME button. Is there a way to change the default once it is set ?
Hope to do a review for Noobs like me as I go.
Download the app home switcher and you can choose your default.

Home switcher is good stuff!
I prefer HomeSmack but either one works.
Sent from my Galaxy S.
If you do not want to use a home switcher you can use the built in one. When you hit home button, there should give you the option on which launcher you want to use. There is also a check box in this window that says use by default (or something like that I never read it) hit the check box then which program you want to go to. Now if you change your mind down the road all you have to do is go to menu-> settings->applications->manage applications Once in here you will find the program in question and click on it then clear defaults then it will start asking you again.

Thats what I was looking for.. Thanks..
HAHA As with all good gadgets, there is always a way to make em do what you want to do. Its usually just a simple matter of Banging ones head against the wall a few times and then asking those who know..
So far I like Launcher Pro the best, even though I don't use any of the widgets. Which one did you end up using as your default?
This is probably a stupid question, but I do like ADW but I really like the task manager widget from samsung.... anyway I can get that widget on ADW?
Unfortunately I have not found a way to use the stock Samsung widgets with ANY other Launcher other than Touch Wiz..
But by checking the various forums and doing some research on Market I can usually find something that will fill the need.
You can't have the widget on any other launcher, but if you hold down the home button to bring up the recent app switcher thing you can hit the Task Manager button on the bottom of the popup. It takes you to the same thing as tapping the samsung widget.
Good point... I forgot about that... if I need it bad enough I can put a shortcut for that app on the home screen too...

This works fantastic, disabled the dock and currently running 10 rows 7 columns
Asus weather widget looks standard size.
The bookmarks widget looks fantastic the larger use make it, you just get more on the screen.
Totally awesome IMO well worth the money.

Is there a specific version that you are using for TF? Or any version of ADW EX work?

1.3 and above is what you're looking for. Previous versions doesn't have support for high density screens so the 5 icon dock will be squished in the center, 1.3 addresses this.
I've tryed all the transition animations and *curve* is the best non lag one out of the bunch. No matter how many widgets it just wont slow the butter smooth scrolling.

How do you get rid of the as icon on the top left corner. It's driving me nuts.

Can you post a screen shot? I'm just currious as to what the pros are for using this over stock?

Big pro's for me:
supports scrollable widgets
supports resizable widgets
Adjustable collumns and rows, currently running 9 x 7
more screens currently have 6
It scrolls fantastic, 100 times better than stock
3D transition affects
If the icon at the top left is bugging you? ask the developer! contacted them about various issues over the months and they always reply.
i installed adw ex 1.3.2 but cannot set it as default launcher. After installation when i hit the home icon there is no popup to let me choose launcher seems like it is not registered as a launcher..... i am not rooted......firmware is .13..... do i need to root to replace the stock launcher?
Experts please advise.

I assume you just go to settings > manage applications, then find launcher and press clear defaults, then press home and it should ask you.
well done....thanks....what a **** i have been, hahahahaha

Don't think its possible to just get rid of it. It looks like honeycomb places the app icon on the corner for some apps. The only way I can think of is to unpack the apk, put in a transparent icon, or change how it looks. Either way you do it though will reflect in the drawer also. Since this is a launcher though and it auto launches it might not matter that it will be an invisible icon. If it bothered me enough then I could just hide the app i guess.

[Q] ADW EX - Wallpaper shifting
Does anyone know how to stop the wallpaper from shifting? It seems to happen after turning off the screen or coming out of an app. It's driving me up the wall. I even downloaded some 2560x1600 wallpapers that people suggested to use and it still happens.
And on a side note selecting the option for the wallpaper to scroll doesn't do anything (in ADWsettings).
I love the ability to resize widgets but this wallpaper problem is making me go crazy

Not sure if that's related but when I installed GoLauncher my wallpaper also shifted. Even after uninstall and reboot it was still messed up. I had to select a different wallpaper and then select the old one again; then it was fixed. It seems that the 3rd party launcher don't work well with HC yet.
i found that if i turn off locking the screen orientation (i rarely ever use portrait mode) and changing the orientation the background resets itself. but it is still rather annoying having to tilt it portrait and tilt it back.
no one else has this problem?
The same thing happened to me when I tried to use "Wallpaper Wizardrii"...until I uninstalled, then switched wallpaper...I'd get the weird shift after every reorientation....like the wp was resizing each time.
I was having major issues with wallpapers in adw ex, ended up using multi wallpaper live wallpaper to solve this, it can show a single image or a slide show.
I think the adw dev just got a honeycomb tablet so hopefully it will be fixed.

That not the right size dimensions so it won't work if you want something that big try 2560x2035 or smaller 1610x1280
All my installed wallpapers are the latter and i never have any issues.
I just started using ADW EX, and whenever I try to resize any widgets, the screen seems to freeze. That is, I can still resize the widge, but I can't deselect it, or select anything else on the screen -- including app icons, which stop functioning. I have to kill the app and relaunch to get it to respond again.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
ADW is certainly feature-rich, but it is crying for some documentation, which I can't seem to find.

After you resize it, just hit the back button.
Hi I was wondering if anyone found a launcher that would be optimized for the cover display?
Currently I installed Hyperion and added it to goodlocks widget and while the app icons are resized for the coverscreen and I can launch all my apps from there, I was hoping if anyone tried any other launchers that function better
And yes I am aware of samsprung and coverscreen os, I have samsprung installed but I like the fact that goodlocks implementation allows for gesture nav to work and it allows for the fingerprint reader to unlock my phone without Bixby
That's not a half bad idea. I hadn't even thought of using the widget to launch a launcher.

Ya so far it's been working great, it gets me around the 5 app limit, I did the same thing with your original widget as well for fun but since there wasn't a way to press a back button back then it was ultimately pointless but with goodlocks widget I find it useful despite some limitations(picture in picture mode still works so YouTube videos need to closed or else you'll have a bad time)
I thought an android tv launcher would work better but the ones available on the app store are super glitchy
There used to be a launcher inside Kodi. I wonder how that would do being made to support almost anything.
