I just can't get the app to work. Does it work with custom icons? I have my doc removed and custom icons in the place, but they're just apps, not through Desktop Visualize or anything. I'm using ADW Launcher Ex and I have all of the "enablers" checked but nothing's happening.

How do I add more app shortcuts in the box at the bottom of the screen, by default there is only 3 spaces, how do you add more?
Thanx
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
go to ADW settings and UI Settings.
Disable DESKTOP DOTS and select SECONDARY ACTION BUTTONS.
That should do the trick
Or you can swipe the app drawer button up to reveal the dock bar.. You can add as many apps as you want to that.

how do you get the dock draw back? EDIT: nevermind, i found out, its harder to work out with no app shortcuts in the dock bar.
Also is there a way to scroll down the app drawer like the original Home Launcher?
i believe it scrolls across by default.
found solution.
go into adw settings, > drawer settings > disable horizontal drawer.

ah thanks for that, ive switched from HelixLauncher to this now
Don't no whether its just me again but, I feel that adw launcher drains my phone quicker than the standard home. Anyone else experiencing the same? Or I'm i just being paranoid about the battery life!? :0s lol
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I've been using ADW for a while, and helix before that.. And I don't have any concerns about battery drain on adw.

what about the difference of battery time between helix launcher, adw and the built-in home? before update, helix improved the battery dramatically, what about it after firmware update?

"Close and restart" worked for me.
Is there a way I can change an apps icon with a theme manger type program on my phone?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
some ROM's allow you to hold down an icon to change it with icons pre-installed on your SD Card.
Some icon themes can be installed through apps like ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro.
Its nice using Launcher Pro. It can install Icon Packs on the fly.
Yeah I'm familiar with launcher pro and adw themes and stuff but I want to modify icons on my htc with the sense launcher?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
any ideas?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Try Folder Organizer lite on the Android Market.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer.lite
In the apps section, it allows you to change the icon for all apps. In order for the icon to show up on the home screen as modified, you need to add the app as a "Folder Organizer item" widget.

Using folder organized worked! Good enough for now. Now just got to figure out how to get that icon on my sense 3.0 lockscreen instead of using the stock application icon it makes me use.

Desktop Visualizer does exactlly what your asking...
You choose what apk you want launched...
Then you choose a img file you want to be displayed for that apk file
Here's a spot to post you'r favorite widgets..
Also if anyone knows how to get launcher pro widgets without using launcher pro.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
I like swype pad, and circle launcher for organizing my apps. Gives a clean look.
smooth calendar: customizable and has nice settings
beautiful widgets for weather and stuff, highly customizable
desktop visualizer: make anything an icon, very useful
missed it: see missed calls text, and emails
launch-x pro: allows you to have like 12+ apps in a 4x1 area, awesome for my quick contact buttons
I use some others but those are loaded onto every phone I get
Anyone else have a rooted phone but not a new rom and use a custom launcher?
I have tried most of them, but have narrowed it down to Zeam(which i use on my nook color) or Go launcher - what are your favorites? I like the theme options on Go.

What does a new ROM have to do with a custom launcher?
I use LauncherPro. I've heard positive things about GO and ADW.
Nothing specific just that I wanted to make it obvious I do not have a custom rom as sometimes that will change the basic home screen anyway.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Yeah the ROM will also have a custom launcher, but if you put another custom launcher, it will look the same as without the ROM. Doesn't matter if you're rooted, either.
Im using stock deodexed rooted with launcher pro

LauncherPro has been the most stable and snappy for me.

i started using MXHome, it is a regular launcher for the most part with some really nice features. A full 3d home cover along with what MX is calling a "smart" appdrawer. It allows you to put your apps in alphabetical, sort by category and other options. I am currently using the glass theme and it is really nice. Check out this vid on YouTube to see some of it's features in action:

I like this look.
I prefer Go Launcher with the themes and app drawer transition effects and that it has running apps and recent apps tabs in the app drawer.
Using zeam launcher, very nice app and low memory use
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Using Zeam Launcher for low memory foot print, and has most of the functions Launcher Pro has.
Go Launcher is no doubt my favorite, nice simple features...everything seems to make sense....and that's after trying Zeam, Launcher Pro, SPB (another favorite but I get tired of the flashiness after a while), and adw is nice also.
Is there a good app to switch homescreen layouts between launchers? Like Nova to Apex? I've been googling around and haven't seen any good solution yet.
There's a backup option in both launchers. Try making a backup in one launcher, and then restore it in the other
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
There's home switcher to switch between launchers.
Regarding the layouts, I don't think there is a way to port them.
