just FYI for anyone who didn't notice. Android Market is celebrating 10 billion downloads by offering 10 apps for 10 cents each for 10 days. It's actually been going on for a couple of days already, but there is still a bunch of days left to scoop up some deals.
Apps change every day as well.
Got the beautiful widgets & adw launcher

Does this apply to any app in the market or just a select few that "they" have picked?

Man, I just wish I knew about this when ADW was still there. I wanted to see if ADW Ex lags for me. LauncherPro redraws too much, even with the edited script.

Sure i can do this for you. In return could you try something for me with the app ROM Manager? It'll just take a minute.

Kinda late to respond to this, but you can buy VISA gift cards from a lot of pharmacies and stuff. That works as a debit card.
I used to do that when I wanted to pay for something online when I was younger.
Thanks for heads up regarding Android Market special.
Silly question, I've bought an app and since I will be upgrading soon, is that app transferable from one android phone to another? I figured it would be since it was purchased under my gmail account. Just need some clarification. Also, I have to get my post count up so I can post in the dev forums!! :laugh:

Yes. As soon as you sign in to your Google account from the other phone, it will be available to you again for no charge via playstore.

They can also be on multiple devices at once. I have my Thunderbolt as my main phone and also an inactive Incredible that I use on wifi to test neat stuff like CM10 (Jelly Bean is awesome by the way) and i have a lot of the same apps on both of them, particularly Titanium Backup Pro. Google has made it really easy to continue using the stuff you buy...as it should be.

Which CM10 are you using on the Incredible, I'm getting one from someone at work tomorrow. So it'd be cool to not have to either flash different ones or read a lot of comments.

I downloaded Swiftkey. I used the trial version about six months ago and totally loved it. I may try swype if there is a free version and see what the differences are. Thanks for your recommendation!

You should try SSLauncher. It allows you to create something it calls application groups that are in list form. You can have all your apps in that list or just categories, like games or office or photo apps.
It's also one of the most customizable launchers on the market. You can even have a different wallpaper on each screen!

I purchased it five minutes ago. I'm a little disappointed. I love the concept of it, but it's a little too minimalistic at the moment. There are only a few settings, and there's no real option to customize it. I guess the dev will update it a bit in the near future so it's all good, but i expected much more. Also, no lite version? Come on...
Looks good - will probably wait till it's a little bit more feature rich.
Hi mate looks awesome but do you have a test version for how it looks? Or only the payed one?

I agree. I love trying different launches and have purchased several of them. However, all of them had a free version for me to try first.

I went ahead and purchased it. Definitely support the development to get it out of beta and add more features. I am pleased with it.

Played with it for about 30 mins and got super bored. Same old stuff thats in all the other launchers. SSLauncher already has the whole app wallpaper.
Ok so I'm making a ROM for myself (I'll probably release it too), I'm starting with Sense 2.1 GB because I want the HTC Music app and a couple other things. I'm going to remove Sense and debloat the heck out of it. My question is in the title. I'm looking for the perfect launcher and am open to suggestions, I would really like to find a unique one. Please include what it is that you like about the launcher. I have tried the following and and looking for something else: Hi, Zeam, ADW, Holo, Lightning, Go, Smart, MX, QQ (this one I do like), EZ, Sense, Regina.
Here is a screenie of the project with the QQ Launcher
And here is the EZ Launcher, the runner up at this point... I don't like the fact you can't change the dock.
Just got the MIUI v4 Launcher working. Me likey. Facebook is borked tho.

I've always been partial to either ADW EX or Go launcher on GB. But since we're talking about something that might me released. How about that claystone launcher. Unsure if it's compatible with GB, but it is different and I think free
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk 2
Of the ones you have here I like the second one. In the past I have really liked the features in Go.
I'm just happy I've got the HTC music app working on a NonSense ROM that was my main goal lol

I don't understand what is up with Facebook tho, I have never had problems until this week. Now I get fc and refusing to open and all kinds of stupid crap, mind you it is when I am playing around with ROMs but still
facebook released a completely recoded app this week, that could be why.
They finally stepped away from the sluggish html5 rendering system it had been relying on and now is working with a native code base
