he's looking for a launcher SWITCHER.. not a launcher.. tho I agree.. SPB is great.. I wish they'd port MORE of they're software over... like SPB wallet. I emailed them on it and the rep told me that wallet is being worked on but company policy prevents them from quoting dates. Good enough for me
/thread_hijack
for launcher switching I like to use homesmack ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.homesmack&feature=search_result ). It's free. I should disclaim that it's the only one i've ever used so I dont' know if there may be a better one.. but this one does what it says with a nice UI.
Home Switcher works quite well actually.
Thanks I try them both.

Quick question does having stock and two launchers affect phone memory or phone performance???

Yes, as they are running in the background.
If you have any widgets on either homescreen, those will be running as well.

Looks like you don't have to wait too long for SPB Wallet
son of a.... i JUST EMAILED THEM YESTERDAY?!?!?! .. she couldn't disclose 24 hours... i bought splash ID instead of waiting (cuz i thought i had a few months)..
for that... i'm pirating.
I jest. LOL. Great product... but really.. she couldn't say "wait a day"?!? ...
I like Home Manager personally. has some cool functions and lets you auto-kill the other launchers if they keep popping. has quick switch function from status bar too for switching launchers fast.

Yeah... this was the "Rewrite" that was supposed to happen last November, but unfortunately, Fede is more concerned about this music app and has put both Launcherpro, Launcherpro Plus, and this "Rewrite" on the backburner.
Don't get your hopes up
Current Launcher pro works fine with me.
I like launcher pro but its inability to allow roms to use their custom transition effects and visual eye candy will put it on the uninstall list. I have plus version. Also it has to force close a couple of times after you reboot for it to start working.

I thought that was only happening with mine. But mine usually just FCs once.
Evidently Fede is more concerned with making money on a brand new piece of software rather than finish rewriting his software
Which is completely understandable by the way, but don't get your hopes up.

Oops, wrong thread, sry
I always wonder what happen to him rewriting it. It sucks that it had to go on the back burner
Current Launcher pro works fine with me.
Launcher Pro
Is Amazing,a great launcher ( I also like the basic launcher and touch wiz 4.0 & 4.5)

To get it to stop force closing on start up you have to move all your apps to the internal memory card. There is some sort of conflict between launcher pro and the initial media scan.
I'm aware this is not ideal for everyone but it is the only solution that I know of.
Hi to everyone.
First if this kind of post is frowned upon I do apologizes, but as you read on you will see why it's necessary. As the blog for ADW has the comments closed, i suspect the out pour of requests for folders in the drawer has caused Anderweb to become frustrated as well.
I have been a hard core ADW user and love the launcher more than any other, it's fast, feature rich and meets all my needs but one....
Andrweb has decided to adopt a categories view for the drawer and as cool as that is, it's just not something i can get use too. trust me i have tried, several times.
I really just wish we could have folders, I can have all my apps on one page and folders with names just works with the way my brain works.
So with out further a due here is my begging post, please Anderweb can you help me out and add the option to have folders in the drawer, the way you have them on the desktop is sick (love it) and adding that feature to the drawer would be awesome.
As for adding comments about other launchers, please save them for another post. No need to fill this with try this try that. I have tried almost every launcher and ADW is what I'm comfortable with.
if you are with me and a loyal ADW user and would also like to see folders added to the drawer please share your thoughts and maybe with the power of word we can get this feature added or at minimum a reply from Anderweb saying he will never add the feature and at that point I/we can decide if we want to move on.
this post is in no way interned to offend Anderweb or any other person, no animals or live stock we're harmed writing this post. In fact a few trees have been saved. LOL

Completely agree, adw badly needs folders in the app drawer.

I agree also and a new update would be nice too and some new transitions to the app drawer and main screen would be awesome.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Thanks Guy's glad to see you feel the same way.
I think a lot (10% ?) of ADW user's might have already left waiting for folders in the drawer. plus update's.
Maybe if we can get everyone to post we can send Anderweb the link here.
So share the link to people you know use adw and want folders in the drawer.
Should have titled the post, folders in the drawer. Kind of catchy. lol
Ok i have been thinking of this to much. lol
I thought this post would get more hits, maybe I'm the only one waiting for folders in the app drawer.
i too agree with this

One of the reasons why I switched to Go launcher.
Sent from my Legend using xda premium
Unfortunately I too have left my ADW Pro copy uninstalled because of folders in the drawer, using instead Go Launcher as well... I'll much prefer to use ADW, but the categories in ADW are too "clunky" to actually use at this time, well in my mind I should say.
I use ADW on my transformer with ICS and love it. I never used folders in android but I use my tablet for work and sometimes I find myself looking through a slew of apps looking for what I want. I could see putting all my work stuff into a folder would make things easier.
I also like to hide apps that Widgets and launchers throw in there, plus apps I never use like Latitude. On family members tabs, I like to hide root apps and file explorers and the likes.
Thank god for android and choices!

I switched to go for a while, I found after a while go launcher slowed down. Plus I don't need all of go launchers options.
Hopefully we will get folders in the app drawer soon.

I just had an idea, does anyone know anderweb?
Maybe if he has stopped developing it he might release the source code for another person to work on it.
Hmm, just an idea.
ok so we just need a dev who wants to tweak it? any takers?

Really? I find ADW a tad bit laggy in my scroling experience. Guess its different for different people.
Sent from my Legend using xda premium
guess the need for folders in the app drawer is not as big of a deal as i thought. or most have moved on.
I have been pestering go launcher to add 7 icons to the dock. the dev said he tried but it looks bad. i asked him to try adw or zeam as both have the ability to add more icons to the dock and both do it well. time will tell if the dev adds this to go.
gloves are off, maybe adw will wait tell next Christmas to release an update? same as last year, no updates but a new one for Christmas. must have needed some extra cash... LOL
the free version of adw is already open source. that is why cyanogenmod used to use it long ago. only adw ex (paid) is not open source i think.
http://code.google.com/p/adw-launcher-android/
Am I the only one to find that ADWLauncher EX is more complicated and harder to use than the free version? I had to roll back to the free version just a while after trying the EX one. I love the scatter transition effect which is not available in Ex and I really hate the 2-line app labels.
Morever, I can't access Launcher settings in my phone settings. It was not there and I had to make a shorcut on my Home screen. Maybe because I had my free version still installed. Doesn't matter, Free ADWLauncher ftw.

No progress, I think anderweb has walked away from developing adw.
Maybe a new dev will work on the open source and bring adw back to life, or wait for next Christmas when he wants some extra money. LOL

I'm using ADW, I have tried every launcher out there and really like ADW the best, at least for Ginger bread. I'm not into all the extra features like most other launchers. I also like zeam but it to is missing folders in the apply drawer. Plus I like ADW'S style of folders on the home screen.
Now when my xperia s gets ics ill move over to apex launcher.
Curious why you asked?
another reasons why i swicth to go launcher
but i still like adw
if adw put just folder option
i will switch back again
nb : i just need that option to put my program in adw

Hello, I am looking for apk and instructions for the water live wallpaper, it is a reelection in a pond with dark blue water and leaves floating and ripples. Very common wallpaper.
Please help, it is not included in ICS, BUT I really like it.

See this its inside the apk. Try swapping these with the same files from your systemui app
Then adb push the app to your system app and manually set permissions for it
Or do it with root explorer and set permissions to rw-r-r.
Also, that file browser looks NICE Xplore. I'll have to check the market for it.

could anybody put the two apks online? will they work for any ics? thanks a lot.
Very Encouraged by the responses, but want User Apks
Dear Fellow XDA users and specially developers, I am very encouraged there is so much liking and demand for this particular wallpaper, i wish however, there was a way these APK's could be installed as User apps - cause that would really free this wonderful wallpaper from any constraints.
Short of this - there will be need for putting this in ROMS and installing via root and such - which may not be convenient for people of all skill levels.

You mean like Cydia for iOS right? I can't tell if you mean a type of Cydia Store, or a just an app store. I also had an idea for this a couple weeks back.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know what that is but like what I had in mind was a app that has categories etc for apps, and it would be like for root stuff, like root apps or apps from people on here and other forums, to kinda localize everything into a easy to navigate spot so you don't have to search a huge forum for a download to someone's app or have to search play store to find the right root apps, because to me finding root apps on play store can be a pain.
But lime I said its really just a idea and it would be a little difficult to get going and make actually happen.
Also a app where its like daily/weekly updates about peoples stuff, but drippler kinda does that.

I might make this app this weekend. The UI would probably be terrible though. If I made this, it would have a ROMs section, tweaks section (mods to system and stuff), an apps section (root apps only), and an App Developers section (apps that started on XDA or another Android Forum, or just apps that I think are cool but are not on the play store. Once I know that the app works and can successfully download and install apps, I will work on the UI to look like the Play Store, except with the Holo Blue accent instead of the green one. It would be my first app, too. I'm also learning Android Development by Team Treehouse, and they show how you can make an app access the internet and pull things from it (which is saving the apk, and then installing).

u would need permission from xda and it's better that they make it.
xda devs don't only make root apps also having roms would be expensive and unnecessary because they'll have to handle a boatload of downloads and space to store all the roms when file-sharing sites work just fine what would be better is u subscribe to a Rom and get updates and links etc from there...
Anyways
Where did u start learning?

I started learning 2 months ago, and where I started learning was at my school. I can stay in my schools library after school for 2 and a half hours and that's when I learn android development. I have Eclipse and the Android Emulator working fine on the computers over there (with permission of course). I found team treehouse when watching a tech video on YouTube, it was an ad and I clicked on it.
