Hi forum...
Have you seen the new ADW EX ?
It is really great on our phone I think... Really nice effects and so on...
But then again, I have always liked ADW over LP, i never understood the fuzz about LP...
But let's not turn this thread into a LP vs ADW fight...
Let us just look at this amazing new ADW EX Launcher...
Sent from my Android phone...
It is great love the transitions and less laggy the LP but still wished it was easier to customize ADW.
Its quite good, bought it this weekend and still playing around, like the animated page turning, and it is damn fast...still working on netfront and quicklauncher as well, fortunately i do have home switcher

It's cool... lovin it
It's great launcher. Very fast, lots of options and effects. Bought it straight away, when heard about it. In example I like 4D drawer and animation when sliding between desktops.
Totally agree! This thing is lightning fast and looks sooo good!
I uninstalled Launcher Pro and so far I am not missing it!
Here are my new homescreens: http://twitpic.com/3k2427/full
Yup, just bought mine, it seriously has no lag even with all the graphics turned on. This is a masterpiece
Woah! It's bloody amazing indeed!
Transitions are outstanding!
Bye Bye Launcher Pro!
Thanks pshdo for informing us.
I agree with all of you too, I have been using launcher pro and installed this new ADW launcher.
The animation is very cool and fast, the switching between pages are very smooth.

Screenshots won't do it justice as it will still look like a launcher lol
It is how fast and fluid it is that stands out.
Just tried it on a mates x10, it is awesome. Gonna buy a copy asap.
currently using it, nice n fast, but lp still looks more polished imo

Any ideas about battery life?
I notice that this is a fair bit smaller in file size then ADW.launcher.
Therefore, I'm wondering if using my ADW.launcher configuration on ADW EX would benefit battery or speed etc?
Any thoughts?
battery is okay, this morning at 8am from the charger at 100%, it's now 6:57pm and i have 87% left. Normal usage, few calls, few times on wifi internet/xda, few sms and an hour tweaking this launcher...not bad ;-)
is it really worth switching over from launcher pro?
I dont seem to have any issues with mine, I customised the screen sliding and app drawer speeds so its very smooth and responsive.
does this new adw app improve battery time at all??
Just had a play about with it. Was using ADW.Launcher before this. Got to say i really like this. Took 5-10 mins to figure out where the options were located, as they differ from the original ADW.Launcher.
The amount of customization options available are amazing.
I also like the new text effect on the Desktop shortcuts (Seem a little bolder) This can also be changed, as can the Icon sizes
All in all, looks great. Looking forward to future updates
how many of you use this program? i mean ive seen some cool themes for it but does it truly replace your lockscreen? does it prevent the phone from sleeping at all?
I use it off and on. I never used a theme for it though, but yes it does fully replace your lock screen. You can use a diff image for lock screen as well, drop apps on it, even widgets! Cool app Not sure if it prevents from sleeping, but screen will time out, that is adjustable as well...
decided against it, i heard it really drains the battery.
i dont have any battery draining issues with widget locker. only issue i have with it is i cant use a passcode with it
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I use it on CM7, no battery drain issues (my battery life hasn't been impacted noticeably at all) and it fully replaces the lockscreen. Every now and then I'll see the stock one for a second though.
I've used it on Myn's Rls5, Warm Z, and now Kings R3. I haven't noticed any battery drain either.
Sent from "The EVO" using XDA Premium
have used it since release in june. battery drain stories are a complete crock lol
Same here no drain
Sent from my Htc Evo using Tapatalk pro
There is another app that is sort of the same called LockBot. I dont think you can add apps and widgets to your lockscreen like you can with widgetlocker, though I may be wrong about that
edit...I never noticed any battery drain from either of the two apps
I use it on CM7 doesn't drain my battery anymore than when its not in use.
If someone could point me to a widget for music controllable that hides when no music is being played (like the cm7 lock screen) this would be my lock screen for good.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I use winamp which has its own full screen Lockscreen controls. It disables when not in use to my standard widgetlocker screen.
I use widgetlocker with no battery issues on Fresh3.5.0.1 and CM7rc2. I like it for the customization factor without flashing lockscreen mods and screwing with frameworks.
whats i like about it is works on an odex rom. currently running Miks 4.6b2 odex

Phantom Music Control in the market. Only works with stock players though, including the one in CM7.
Hey I was wondering whats the best way to replicate the iphone lock screen? Is it cm7 theme chooser?
You could try widgetlocker. It has the iPhone lock screen.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
There is an app somewhere that replicates the iphone lock screen. Used to use it on my old phone. So don't have the apk. Search a bit and you'll find it
I have, I am currently using widget locker, I've seen another app but apparently it won't scale. Correctly on the sensation, i didn't try it but saw. A. Comment from an. Evo. I'm guessing there's no. Cm7 themes?

Smart. I wil ldo that now, I will get back to you with that if it works with a thanks.
Looking at the description, I don't think this will work... will know in 5 seconds......
And it............ did....... not work. Thanks for trying though.
lol dang, sorry man, no other ideas
Thanks anyway, I just wish we had a simple lock screen like iphone.
Try magiclocker from the market its free
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
There is an Miui theme with that Lockscreen. And yes it scales correctly. I used it for some time. Other than that I'm out of ideas lol
Magiclocker also has a sweet Samsung puzzle lock theme as well

Banned. All of you.
What's wrong with you banana? I got an android device. For the a ability to customize it. I'm allowed to do what i want with it. If you're immature enough to not have the ability to resist pointless posts that have nothing to do. With the thread, you should be banned.
And I don't really like miui. The interface isn't functional to me. I like cm7. Just want a iphone lock screen. I'll try magic locker.

What about "Lock 2.0"? Haven't used it in forever (coincidentally, it was the first app I ever bought for Android - lol), but it was specifically made to have the iPhone style locking, as well as give it some personal flare.
Yea that's the one he's using. The screen is compressed and the slider bar is really long and skinny. I've tried it without any luck. I now use "no lock" and just hit any button and am on my main screen, I never really saw the use of pressing a button just to do another task..

I do this, except I use a passcode. I just wish android/cm7 will release a lockscreen I like. Rotary did it for me for a while, but it become almost too complicated for me. I didn't like that if I used it to change the sound, i have to wait for the thing to finish rotating. I just want something I slide and it unlocks, but the default sliding tabs in my opinion are ugly. I liked sense's lockscreen, but the cm7 replication doesn't do it for me. looks too... circular
Widget Locker is what you're looking for
Hard to find the right words to search this in the forum, but..
I'm on ICBINB Froyo, and it was just beautiful for the first few days. Easily 2+ days battery life, nice and buttery smooth.. but all of a sudden, it seems that almost any time I unlock my phone to the homescreen, or leave an app to the homescreen, the screen itself will rebuild before my eyes, as well as rebuild my app list should I attempt to hit the app drawer.
Anyone have an idea what's going on? Figured it would be the launcher, so I switched between LauncherPro and ADW, same thing. Very frustrating.. if there's any other info you need to help, let me know.

This is called a launcher redraw. There is a thread on how to fix this here in the forum somewhere. Good luck my friend!

Looks like essentially adding "echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" to /data/local.prop fixes the launcher redraw lag. Thanks for the right terminology!
Also, is that fix safe for Froyo? I see a lot of the fix threads reference GB.
You'll actually have to add it to system/build.prop

It should be, it's with a try. Worst case scenario you'll have to go back in and delete that string lol

I am using it now, although it may have a lot of UI effects, but amazingly all the effects are buttery smooth, no lags at all on my Note. It is easily the smoothest launcher I ever used (I have Go, ADW and the stock Touchwhiz).
However the price is high, and a few functions still not available now, but I'm sure they will be added in future updated (they need cash urgently to keep the project alive, I think)
When this is fully done, it will be the best launcher on the market ^^

I was looking forward to it but the price tag put me off and if u take a screen shot and zoom in on the icons u will notice that the icons are lower resolution then for example stock launcher.
And if you for example take and place the Box widget on both TSF shell and on the TW home screen u will se that even the widget have some kind of lesser image quality on the TSF home screen. I have no idea why, But the white backgroud isnt as sharp and detailed on the TSF launcher compare to TW. And on the top blue color on the widget u can see stripes in the color and in TW there are no stripes. I dont know if it has something to do with color depth or something.
This occur on version 1.2
There is a thread about it already with plenty of feedback from all the peeps that have trying it

Strange, it says that my device is incompatible.
I installed it on mine yesterday. I must say this is the best launcher I have ever seen and just amazingly "smooth". I mean no lag at all. I tried tons of launchers on my note but nothing come close to these. So powerful! Rotate icons anywhere, the sticky note is also bad ass. Flexible! I captured a short clip last night while I was playing with it. Still trying to figure some other features.

it proves Thanks
I download for free from google
Guys this launcher using 20 mb ram, its same like stock. After 20 min play I dont want to comeback to touch wiz Launcher at all.
Fast, smooth and so "smart"
I thought nothing could be pricier than spb shell 3d , lol, guess I was wrong

Not sure about the smoothness of the app tray graphics. Looks a bit blurry like its being scaled up.

the biggest problem for me is..after using all the launchers swiping left and right on homescreen to go to next screen, its so irritating in this launcher we cant swype like that instead its giving some multi selection option which annoys me the most!!!

love this new home launcher..thumb ups!!
there are no settings for the launcher?
i cant see any!
It totally sucks. Even though I got it free it was uninstalled in minutes. It is nothing more than a tech demo in current state. After some updates it might be worth to use
