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!

by double tapping the home button, you can bring up a custom 5x4 screen that lets you place shortcuts/widgets on it that opens over top whatever app you're running
seems like a really great idea
Re: QuickDesk Beta
Great idea, very useful. Must have app
This is...sexy. I am enjoying it. It took me a few seconds to figure out how it worked, but once I got it, It's sexy. hehehe.
Oh man. Genius. Thanks dude.
EDIT: landscape mode would be nice.
Hrm, just tried on 2.2 and it doesn't seem to work unless I set it up wrong. When I tap the home button twice it just takes me home lol.

you need to set it as your default launcher, then in quickdesk, you can set up your launcher as whatever you want

So, basically, clear defaults, and when you press home, and it says what launcher do you want to use, instead of launcher2, adw, or launcherpro (whatever you're using) you press "QuickDesk" then you double tap the home button, bring up quickdesk (you have to tap pretty quickly) and then press options - preferences. Then click 'default home' and set it back to your launcher. There, you can also change the delay for the double tap. Default is 300 miliseconds.
It's a cool app! Now I m thinking of moving the apps from my ADW apps dock to the QuickDesk, so I hv access to those apps anytime, anywhere!
Thanks for the great app!
Re: QuickDesk Beta
I got it set as: long press search button

I did exactly that, the dock is useless with this app and much faster to access

Me2, and Home key assign back to ADW Launcher itself, with dock disabled.
Is it like Power Strip?
Edit // market didnt work some minutes ago.. now it does. Its not like power strip
I'm loving this app. Thanks for the notification!
I can't make a decision between this and power strip.
I love this app! Very useful!
Sexy as hell
Very nice, two suggestions, add the option for a notification bar, and have it close on widget selection.
Anyone knows how to add an extra home screen.
Standard it has 3 home screens. 1 left, 1 middle and 1 right..
can there be addad a 4th one??
no, that's not possible, you need a launcher to do that
ADW.Launcher

Im assuming you are new to android. in android version 1.6, default launcher have 3 screens.
but if you want more you need to use 3rd party application for it (can extend upto 11 screens).
search and get your self educated, we have many discussions even in XDA on this.
For starters as free application Try ADW launcher (donut) version for X10 its free. but if you want more features go for paid application. I recommend GDE
even further, when you got your phone rooted, you can remove default launcher and have 3rd party app as your default. I did it. good thing is in X10 timescape itself works as a home launcher.

Option A: Uninstall a launcher (for example Go Launcher) and it will ask again.
Option B: Go to Settings-->Applications-->All apps-->"The launcher you are using by default right now" (In this case Go Launcher)-->Delete default config or something like that (scroll down to see it).
Option C: Search in the market for Home Manager (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.carp.HomeManager&feature=search_result)
You re right again..thanks pal
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.

Can anyone recommend a good Android Kit Kat Launcher for the HTC Desire S. Have tried a few but I don't think they are very good. I am looking for one that will allow me to have more than three home screens.

you can with the default launcher. just long press on home screen then press widgets (or apps) then press and hold a widget and u see the 3 dots there should be a + on the right of the 3 dots, just drag the widget over to the right and it will add new screen.

Thanks for your reply. I currently have Android 4.0 so was thinking about putting a launcher on to my phone. Please can you tlel me which launcher is the best to download. I assume that when you mean the default launcher, you mean a phone that has Kit Kat already on it by default?
