Hey all!
ADWLauncher is well-known among the community here, and recently on the market, ADWLauncher EX became available and it is absolutely brilliant. Launcherpro has a thread dedicated to showcasing each user's beautiful desktops, and for good reason, as it too is a wonderful launcher. That said, I think ADW deserves equal appreciation, and with the new EX version available on the market, the features and potential artistry of it grows even further.
Please post your screenshots and provide a brief description! For mine ...
Pic 1: My default desktop. I'm obsessed with minimalism, and to achieve this I expanded the desktop (no dock) and used AppsOrganizer to create cataloged folders for my apps. In the top corners are folders for Starred Contacts and All Contacts, respectively, and the clock widget at the bottom is Minimalistic Text.
Pic 2: Right-hand desktop. Left-hand corner with SetCPU 2.10, and once again Minimalistic Text widget at the bottom. This widget is very nice, can provide text- or number-based widgets for date, time, weather, battery, or even static text. Very customizable as well.
Pic 3: Left-hand desktop. Top widget is Visual Bookmarks, bottom widget is Android Agenda Widget, both customized to match other widgets.
All widgets described are available for free on the market. But please share your own pictures and descriptions of ADW!

Adw settings -> general behavior -> system preferences -> show notifications. It is part of ex, but unsure if it is part of the free version.

You just need to find the different text icons that you like and then switch them out. It should be an option of ADW.
After you create your own or download a version you like save them to your SD card. Then select the dock icon you want to edit. It will pop up the 3 options and you want to select edit. Then you'll see the edit box pop up. Look to the left and you'll see a picture of the icon. Press that and you'll have the option then to select a different picture. Then you can use the ones you just put on your card.
Hole that helped.

So now that I'm on Froyo I can't use my beloved Helix Launcher. I need a way to conserve desktop space. To do so I want to use a widget that allows me to add shortcuts to it and scroll through the different apps.
Think something like GDE app dock but just for the stock homescreen. Does anyone know of anything like this?
With any luck, Helix will be updated for FroYo relatively soon. I already miss it too.
You could just add a "new folder" to your home screen, name it whatever u want and fill it up with any apps (not widget). Enjoy! if you didn't know about that already of course.
Look into 'more icons widget', doesn't scroll but you can add 3+config icon in a 1x1 space or 15+ config icon in a 4x1 space.
The development of Helix has been discontinued guys
According to whom?

I've checked that one out. It's alright, but I don't like how small the icons are. I'd rather have a scrollable widget dock. GDE has a great one built in, I wish someone would build one outside of GDE that is just a widget.
Scrollable widgets are not possible under the stock launcher/framework, notice that you have to click a button or have it auto refresh with widgets like facebook and various twitter applications. That is why Rosie has the scrollable widgets because of the customized framework.
If your objective is to conserve desktop space, I'm using "Apps Organizer" download from the market(free) to do that. It allows you to group your applications and put the group name on your desktop. Definitely a space saver!
Use launcher pro, up to 7 screens.

I get what you're saying, but something doesn't make sense. On GDE you can add an application dock, it works EXTREMELY well too. Why is that? It's not a rosie app or anything.
Check it out. Thats what we need in a stand alone widget.
Like I said in the first sentence, with the stock launcher. GDE is a home replacement.
Or use a home replacement. Cause gde has it.
Edit: @evilkorn. sorry, didn't see that u clarified.
whats GDE? also does launcherpro work with froyo?
oops wrong thread.
Search in the market for an app called "Launcher Dock" It's a great app!!

I've been using it for a while now too.
ADW launcher has an app drawer at the bottom. You can flash the rc3 alternate build on the N1 Froyo. Get it HERE
I'm looking for a widget that will let me put multiple icons on it and scroll through them. Pretty much exactly like the ADW launcher dockbar but full-size icons and can be placed anywhere.

Launch-x pro or free. the pro is $.99 and has more options. check out the free one first
Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I have a "stock" rooted D2G and use LauncherPro. Is there an app or trick or something else that will allow you to put a two line name under an app icon on a homescreen or make the character lengths consistent?
For example, under my Folder Organizer icon, it says "Folder O" with the O cut in half. What's interesting is Timeriffic (which I don't even use, but notice the amount of characters) has the full name under its icon.
BTW I really like my new font and rather not change it and I know I can just have icons with no text, but like the text, but not with a bunch of partial names.
So is there such thing or something that will equalize the character playing field since I can easily adjust names in Desktop VisualizeR?
Thx!!
Forget launcher pro... use adw ex Launcher... it has the answer to each and every question of yours... njoy..

Thanks. Does it really have all those capabilities? Reason being, I literally tried ADW a half dozen different times and I really liked some of the features, but I really didn't like the dock bar and that it doesn't run nearly as smoothly as LP does on my D2G for some reason.
Can you post a screen shot of your problem? It would be easier for me to understand... and adw is awesome.. it has many customisations...
You can also change the density of your screen to make it a little more compact.. so that every thing fits into it....

Ok... now i see whats your prob.. i think there is nothing that can give a double line icon name.. but there is an option in ADW EX LAUNCHER... under UI SETTINGS-> ICONS -> select new icons.. ->. Go to icon settings.. there you can modify the size of icon and text lable of it... i would also recommend you to change your dextop columns from 5 to 4.. maybe i would bring a change, as it would get more space..!
Sent from my X10i running freex10 beta4.. greenglow theme... using XDA App..
Here, have a look at my screen... i am using adw ex Launcher... the plus point in ADW EX is that when you long press the icons, you can edit the icon, and also rename it as desired, so in your case you can make the name of the icon short to fit in that place...! Cool isint it? Like in the pic..one icon has full name of OI FILE MANGER which as you can see ia half cut... and in the other i have edited the name to just FM..! Hope you got my point..!
Hit thanks if helped..!

Thanks. FYI I just changed from 4 to 5 columns and there wasn't much difference in the labels. I guess I'll either have to wait for LP to allow such customization OR I'll have to live with it.
Thanks again for your help!!

I get your point and it is nice that you can edit labels and icons like that in ADW, but unfortunately the dock bar flexibility and more importantly the fact that ADW is not nearly as smooth on my phone as LP, keeps me with LP.
Thanks again for your help and patience!
Desktop Visualizer allows you to edit the labels, no need to switch launchers.

Thanks. I mentioned that in the OP, but it still locks me into a certain amount of characters and a second label line would make my homescreeens that much nicer.
For those of you that likes to use Regina 3D Launcher, these are few wallpapers that I mod and been using on my evo , I want to give credit to "zandog". To get the best you need to use desktop visualizer.
Let me know what you guys think.
1- Download Regina 3D Launcher & Desktop Visualizer from the market
2- Download the attachments to your SD card
This is how is going to work: From Regina launcher hit menu and select to change the wallpaper, select the one you like the most, after that press the screen and select android widgets
use desktop visualizer 1x1 SS and place on top of each icon,select the clear icon from the attachments, do the same for each of the icons, select action by selecting the application that you want to use, clear the label and for touch effect select press OK, do this for each icon on every wallpaper, hope you guys like it.

I love the concept and the wallpapers, but when I drag the desktop visualizer over the icons, the trash folder pops up and I cannot drop the desktop visualizer over the icons
Just drop the icon from desktop v as close as you can it will work, does not need to be perfect on top. See if that work if not I send you a new one.

Thanks for the credit, but as I stated in my concept design for this UI, I was commissioned to design this UI for another ROM developer. Therefor it's got a legal copyright. The interface mapping is proprietary but I'm curious if you have you come up with your own code for mapping this interface or is it just the launcher?

I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread on this already!
I posted this in another thread, but mine looks like this. Not terribly interesting apart from the Widget.
For anyone that is interested, I'm using ADW Launcher, the Widget is a Beautiful Widget with an opacity setting of 30% I think. I also hide the icon labels, as it makes it a lot cleaner! I set the Columns to 7 and the Rows to 6 to get as many icons on the screen as I could without it looking too crowded.
The widgets used are as follows:
Widget Type: Beautiful SuperClock 4x3 (Tablet) - I stretched it out so it fits the screen better
Super Clock Skin: honeyclock
Weather Skin: FlatWhite
What are you using for screen cap?

I'm using the Dalvik Debug Monitoring Service (ddms.bat) in the tools directory of the Android SDK install. You must also have the correct drivers installed, which if you've rooted your KF, you should already have.
Once it's detected and connected to your device, you can go to Device > Screen Capture.

just went in to the file structure and replaced the image with my own. the wallpaper is from a poster who put up some alternate wallpapers to use instead of the defaults. i just pasted it 21 times in a folder and renamed them to the default names, so it never changes. in reality it's changing every time, it changes to the same pic each time. here's the pic. cant remember the link where i got it.

noticed you have the same weather widget bug, also happens to the pandora widget. something causes it to stretch like that, returns to normal after reset. you know what causes it and if there's a fix?
This is my homescreen as of now.
I really liked the wood bookshelf style of the kindle, so I decided to make wallpapers that would give that same look to other launchers (I'm using ADW).
I also attached a zipped folder with them, hope you guys enjoy.
Comments are always appreciated

Probably a stupid question but you guys that are using different launchers (which in this thread is everyone it seems lol) are you rooted or not? I'm going to side-install a few launchers and had no plans on rooting at this point BUT if it helps the alternate launchers work better I mine as well. Thanks for input and again, sorry if it's a dumb questions.
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say most of us are rooted simply because a lot of ppl seem to have several apps only found on the Android market. Of course you can sideload them without the market, but I think that instead of going through all that trouble most ppl have just rooted and installed the market (especially since it's so easy to do and also allows you to take screenshots).
