nightlies are more stable than RC2, so try those if you have problems with RC2

Its not that much of a big deal for me, I will wait for the next RC if its a known issue.

I prefer the stock launcher

Default launcher installed on new Gx2 ?

When you buy the T-Mobile GX2 with Android 2.2.2 , new in the box, what is the default launcher that is installed on it ? It was one that had a big 3d block of apps that you could spin around. Mine had it, but I changed to zeam, and forgot to see what the default one was called.
Thanks

Launcher 2. Just go to settings apps manage apps and scroll to u see ur launcher zeam and clear defaults

You don't get 2.2.2 OOTB. Any that TMO ships now have 2.3.3 installed.

I actually prefer Froyo's Launcher over Gingerbread's. It runs alot better, and it feels snappier.

I dont think any of us own gx2's. But i think we may have some g2x's around.

CM7 Launcher

Does anybody know which launcher is cooked into cm7? I thought it was ADWlauncher but it must be highly customized cause the version on the market sucks compared.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yup. its a tweeked up version of ADW.

Thanks, it makes the market version (even ex) look/feel like crap.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yup. One of the many benefits of having CyanogenMod.

I dared to go to another ROM, that lasted 5 hours.

It uses AWD Launcher, but I don't know if it makes the EX version feel like crap because when I first flashed CM7 which was in nightly 124, the menu was real laggy, which made me try out AWD Launcher EX and after that it was running perfectly smooth.

I've had both and imo the paid version should have features the included version has like hiding the background on the main dock or removing the ALL catagory or even swiping side to side to change catagories while in the app drawer. CM7 version has these, ADWlauncher Ex does not (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm on Nightly 154 and everything runs so smooth and fast.
CM7 is only steps from becoming Stable. Nightly 160 will be up tonight which will have A2DP enabled.

I prefer to get launcher pro because its smoother for me and try to make it look exactly like the froyo launcher that comes with the phone. Does anyone know how to get that launcher on cm7?

Best Launcher

What' is the best launcher for lg g2x that won't mess up cause lately I have been getting google errors and by contacts lose the name and it just shows the numbers and I will have to reboot my phone then it will all go back to normal but then my launcher messes up like adw for instance I turn my phone back on then it's all weird everything starts back over and my theme is gone?. So I was wondering why the google thing does that and what may be the best stables launcher.

ADW EX. Best out there IMO. Launcher Pro is pretty sweet to, but I find ADW ex to be more stable.

No lag here. GO is super smooth for me. Do you have your phone overclocked or underclocked/undervolted? Or have you installed a custom kernel?
Sounds like your phone is having issues that run deeper than your launcher.

I've tried a few, but I've stuck with GO. Every other one I tried was just disappointing...
and yea, that sounds like a phone issue, not a launcher issue.

No my phone is not rooted at allbits in good shape and the launcher I love and chose is launcher pre its really smooth and very nice but thank you for everything for the opinions appreciate it

I tried it and um its okay but this is off the topic but I wanna know what phone is better in yalls point of view LG g2x our HTC sensation?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I'm gonna go with the G2x, I no longer trust in HTC's reliability or in how they put thier stuff together after owning a HD2. Plus, I like the Tegra 2.

Its about preference. If I could go back I would change a thing. Well I would stop the part of dropping my phone and scraping it lol. Other then that I would not change a thing
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I would have probably not dismantled my HD2, you can get more for ones with a cracked screen on ebay than ones that have been completely taken apart, working or not. Plus I hate the fact that HTC tapes their digitizers to their phones, seems kinda hillbilly'ish if you ask me.

The stock launcher from Froyo!

i use go launcher and i think it lags a little but maybe it is just my phone. i still like it though

Thank you once again and ill give go launcher a.second change and I would try the stock froyo ha and LG g2x Tegra is Raw but I hate how this phone reboots by them self it gets annoying at times

Launcher [request]

Is there any way someone can port touchwiz 4.0 from the T-Mobile galaxy s 2 to work with our kj6 roms? (Valahalla, octane v3, etc). I know about touchwiz 4.5 but its very unstable on my phone for some reason and its app sorting in the app drawer does not work. I love how smooth tw4 is compared to others like launcher pro and adw and I just think it looks soo much better. I appreciate it if anyone can help. I'm sure other memebers would like this as well. Thanks!

Follow the instructions and it will work.
Furthermore, I'm running Valhalla- it comes with this launcher, the modified touchwiz 4, on there. You do not need this for valhalla.

That's tw4.5 though..... it has made my phone reboot ever since froyo days. Whenever I do something ram intensive on that launcher, my phone reboots. I never experience that with others like launcher pro. And how the app drawer doesn't sort properly is a pain. Thanks for the help though..

Actually I made the cwm zip from an apk I found while googling for touch wiz 4.0 apk lol it worked so I thought it was worth posting. I've never used 4 or 4.5 and I got the wrong one, lol sorry for the confusion. It was mislabeled and I have no experience with the either of them. Sorry for getting confused guys ill try to find 4.0 tonight again lol

The 4.5 comes from the fact that it was a modified version of 4. This launcher automatically comes configured with the stay in ram feature selected- it's been awhile but I am sure that Launcherpro has that feature as well, but it is by default off. Try disabling that and see if it just fc's the launcher (thus resulting in a restart of the launcher) as opposed to your phone crashing. Thats really the only thing that would separate it from other launchers. You can turn the 3d effects off as well to help with the ram. I always make sure to kill passive processes- then again I do not use octane so I am not sure how it runs.
I never had problems with the app drawer. You can change the sorting preferences in the preferences menu of the launcher. It is by default on unrestricted, but you can change it to alphabetical.

I tried turning that off, launcher won't even open anymore so I had to reinstall it. Tried running it for a day but it just doesn't work on my phone which is currently running valahlla final. I have the app drawer set to alphabetical but it still doesn't sort properly. If I install a lot of new apps or delete a lot of apps, there are lots of blank spaces and the only way to get rid of the spaces is to manually move each app one by one which is really a big pain. I just want stock touchwiz 4. I hope someone can get it to work on this phone. After playing with my brother's galaxy s 2, none of the launchers on the market feel anywhere close to that smooth.

Yeah go launcher is pretty good. Still isn't as fast as launcher pro though. I really wish we had a stock touchwiz 4 launcher for this phone. Tw4.5 freezes too much and no other launcher out there really comes close to how fluid tw4 is. I've tried like every launcher in the market too.
