Once you install LPP you can actually uninstall MySense

LPP for sure and for keeps. Its going to take a phenominally better launcher and adw doesn't even come close to that requirement.

I used ADW but then moved to LPP soon after. ADW was a pain to resize widgets, LPP can do it on the fly + has much more features.

Question
Just Down Loaded LPP LOVE IT!!! Way faster than HTC Sense. Whole fun is faster. Thumbnails for pics, scrolling thru pics, playing vides, jumping between web browsers. Love IT!

I'm rolling with the Stock 7 Screens... I will continue to do so until the mission in my sig is a success.

ADW Launcher EX

The new ADW Launcher EX is money. Well worth the $3. Very fast and great customizations. Running beautiful on CM6.1 Stable.

Speed, Speed, and More speed. Its speed is amazing even with the special transitions enabled. I was honestly amazed at how well it performs.

Can I use custom icons with it? (never even used ADW)
Can I enable 7 screens like LPP?
Does it have scrollable widgets like LPP's facebook?
Can I change what the icons open?
I'm definitely considering buying this, I just need to know a few basic things before I do y'know? Sorry if these questions sound stupid.

Yes you can use custom icons. Long press and icon you want to change and off you go. Was never really keen on using ADW till now, easily trumps LP IMO and worth the $$$.

What about the more screens and scrollable widgets?
Edit: I got it. removed a lot of my icons and widgets from my homescreen so i just removed it. didn't feel like putting them back. the transitions were cool though. i may re-download another time when i am really bored.

even the free ADW is on a higher level of customization than launcher pro plus

I'm loving the Ex version thanks OP!

There's almost too much to customize! Lol
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I couldn't get it to layer widgets (unless it's an undocumented feature of the paid version), so I'm sticking with LPP.

As an avid ADW user, what makes this worth it over the free version?

Yea really diggin this..smooth and fast.. and some really nice themes out there.. People should def check it out.. at least for 14 minutes anyway.lol

I used it for a whole day and it killed my battery. The customizing is cool, lots of options. Every couple hours my phone would get super laggy(just swiping from home page left or right would take like 5 seconds to load).

I just got it. Its neat but not for me. Free adw is fine. I use my home screen and one for picture frames while Pandora plays. There's cool desktop transitions but unless you have a lot of homescreens, its not really worth it.

I'm really digging this on CM6.1, save for one problem...
There's no system options button in the menu, unless I'm profoundly retarded.
Anyone know how to get that back? The best I can do is add shortcuts to settings on the homescreen.

You have to enter ADW Settings to get to your system settings. Very unintuitive.
I've bought both EX and LPP. The eye candy of EX is nice, but LPP is a touch more refined as of right now in terms of practicality.

Interesting, but still not good enough to replace LPP.

I found the actual ICS launcher to be superior to ADW and LP but this app isnt the actual launcher. If ever we get ICS I'll be done with ADW for a while.

What version 4.0 are you talking about? I only see 1.4 in the market.

Possibly a dumb question, but...

Why do some phones have different home screens when running the same OS? Example: the Infuse has a much different overall look than other phones that run Froyo.
Might be a dumb question, but its a curiosity.

That's the beauty of android....every manufacturer gives their individual android devices their own personality....
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Its based on the manufacturer really. Some choose to add their skin to it aka touchwiz motoblur sense and others just go naked. Lol.

I think he means stock. Androids are the easiest phones in the world to skin. You just need to unzip the apk and fire up Photoshop. Gotta love PNGs.

Maybe not stock as previusly mentioned since Infuse stock its not naked its actually running Touchwiz, HTC stock is running sense.
Naked I think means as for the called "vanilla" android meaningno customization per manufacturer, nothing like touchwiz or sense or motoblur on top of the "original" android home sreen the "AOSP" home screen.

Also in top of the touchwiz or sense or motoblur, the home screens can change as you can run different home launchers (launcher pro plus, go launcher ex, regina launcher, 3d spb shell) to mention some.
And of course even in the same launcher everyone can vastly customize theyre home screens as everyone likes(with widgets, no widgets, 1 screen, 7screens, full of apps, no apps at all) without mentioning the still wallpaper or the live wallpapers.
So basicly... If you are on Android its gonna be REALLY hard that 2 home screens are the same.
And that for me its Android .

Yeah stock android. no skining or anything. naked. For example this is stock android 2.3, its naked see, no sense, touchwiz, motoblur.

[BEST LAUNCHER] Zeam Launcher

Hey guys, heres a question that i'm pretty sure most of you guys always wondered,
What is the best launcher for your phone?
theres always options like apex, nova, and holo, and comments like how they're buttery smooth..
i've had many devices and i found that apex's scrolling has slight lag and icon loading when you come back to home, nova is smooth MOST of the time(which means it does lag sometimes), and holo is like a mixture of the two.
I hated sense for its appearance, but always ended up going back to sense because sense launcher is the smoothest of the four.., the scrolling is buttery just like an iphone/ipod, if you guys ever compared
So I've found a fix for all of that, ZEAM LAUNCHER. Zeam has not lagged at all since i've downloaded it, its scrolling is smooth, and snappy. I dont see any lag or low fps scrolling at all on it. AND it has the pure android look! Finally a launcher i'm satisfied with
so try it out, test the scrollings, compare it to your current launchers, tell me what you guys think about ZEAM launcher
PS was running cleanrom 5.0 and now running Viper 2.0, STILL best launcher!
Remember to click thanks if I made your phone faster

I always end up back at Sense for the reasons you mentioned. I will give this one a shot.

I do like the smoothness and stuff... but its too gingerbread-ish for me... I find the paid version of holo launched HD (plus) is my top launcher. Especially how you can control scrolling speed of homescreen and drawer. Good find though bro.

yeah the reason why i didnt mention launcher pro, adw, and go launcher is because they're more for the gingerbread era, 2.2/2.3 ish
to me, zeam is like the "launcher pro", of ics, simple, quick, clean.

Gave it a whirl, and call me weird, but I really like Sense.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

best not .... when i use another launcher is nova hands down the best imho

I'm also back to sense now, but I might try something else when I'll get bored. Haven't tried zeam since the vivid days, but I'll give it a go on hox, to see what's going on. I remember it's simplistic look though.

apex or nova for me. i've been using the free version of apex for over a month and haven't seen any lag or anything that would be disappointing. same with nova when I tested that out.
our phones are fast (even unrooted), they don't need a launcher built for slow/old phones to keep the lag away.
