I've been using Xperia X10 for 2 months but until now I can't find better and cool LAUNCHER.. Installed ADW Launcher, Crazy Home Lite, dxTop Lite, Helix Launcher, and Home++. And, I also installed JuiceDefender..
JuiceDefender for me SUCKS. I used Home++ plus JuiceDefender and WOAH my battery drained from 75% at 11pm to 45% at 8am.
What do you think is the best Launcher and battery saver?
Or just ditched battery saver and just to stick with Launcher only.
Thanks a lot!
If you have 2.1 You should get LauncherPro Plus (paid version).
It comes with HTC-like widgets that are AMAZING!!
It is also much more customizable
I'm just using 1.6 version.
And also does the HANDCENT SMS will drain my battery even more?

ADW for me, always has been and always will be I think.
I used to be an ADW girl myself, but after the 2.1 update,
it's all about Lancher Pro Plus (paid)... Just awesome!!
Lancher Pro Plus (paid), hands down. Tried it and I 'm going to pay for it. Simply the best.
EDIT: Paid already
Tried it yesterday, I really don't get the hype.
Luancher pro plus paid as everybody said the best apps for 2.1 i wanted the update for my xperia x10 only coz this apps and games with capability of 2.1
Where can i get LauncherPro Plus?? I cant find it in Market! Ive 2.1! Thanks!

It's gotta be the HTC-like-widgets.. Scrollable Contact bar is amazing, and so is the calendar. Even when you re size them, they still look amazing.
You can also make them look more beautiful by going to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783427
Also you can have up to 15 icons in the dock and place whatever you want in the dock in which ever order (ex. move the app drawer button the left).
It pretty much also comes with the same features as ADW Launcher.
Just play around with it.. You'll know what I mean
Count me to the ADW fanboys, too, please. I love it's customizability. Great piece of software.
in my opinion, Launcher Pro looks nice, offers a lot of customization, but ADW offers drawer transparency, which mean you can see your wallpaper or live wallpaper when viewing your application.
I don't know if the same can be applied with Launcher Pro.

Thanks, but Pure grid calendar does me just fine, I don't Twit, FB or have any need for such features, and I certainly wouldn't want 15 icons on my dock.
Can you tell me how with one dock, you can change which apps are on it?
helix launcher 2. save me some batteries.
i tried launcher pro this morning and i was not impressed with the battery consumption at all. it drained like 5% in 15 min with my music playing vs helix's 5% every 30-40 min or so
i use LiveHome u can change everything including fonts etc without the hassle of using root explorer etc has live wallpapers support 7 screens if u wanted lol change size of fonts on desktop and in drawer colors everything which adw dosent do plus more but everyone has there own taste this is just mine.

Lol okay, fine you win! I guess it's just a matter of opinion
Anyways to change an app on the dock, you long hold it -> Change Shortcut, and then once you have chosen the app, you can then change the icon and everything else
Hey shukla, I have launcher pro. How worth it you think the plus is? You have amazing screen all the time. You should do a video on launcher pro

ADW here but i'm still curious why people are using Launcher Pro.
Well, i like my desktops clean so, i have only 5 widgets 4x1 on the bottom of the screen + 2 multicon 1x3 on the sides of 1st and last screen so, i don't care about Launcher pro apps/widgets .
I also like the swype gestures on ADW.
I have swype down to switch to dock and swype up for preview.
Almost no need to press the hardware buttons

keeps getting better, thanks!
One thing I mentioned in email I wanted to bring up here for others feedback is that if I choose to not have the screen indicator at the top of the screen, and I hide the status bar, the few pixels reserved for the screen identifier should be given back/not used anymore.
I wont keep repeating how great work you guys deliver
1 point of improvement:
On my X10 it's impossible to resize the widgets...
Sorry, it works, this plonker forgot to enable it in settings
Cheers,
Arnold
I really like this launcher guys,great stuff. ill be honest, im still sticking with launcherpro FOR NOW, but im closely watching this app because its got great potential.
just a little suggestion: adding option to configure the press-icon highlight color...a lot of people are anal about their phone's appearance and the current yellow color can really counter-act with some peoples theme
just one mans opinion......keep up the great work!
I love your apps and this launcher is awsome.
Now i need a loooot of custom icons <----- any idea?
Add alphabet sorting in the app drawer folders
I really really like your apps
Actually I'm using all of them
Keep it up
BTW u got the best GUIs I've ever seen on an android apps

How do I save the application settings??
Finally someone has done it!
Congratulation on this excellent home replacement. You are the first and only person to create in my opinion a better Home replacement than the default Galaxy S one. Doesn't need much improvement, maybe spring load the first and last app draw screens.
Very nice, and my thanks.
Add ability to choose custom docks and more homescreen rows x columns and im switching from lp.

Nice launcher, really smooth. I've set the app drawer scrolling to portrait and I would really like the possibility to swype between all, recent and running apps.
Just a suggestion i'm already really appreciating your work!
Nice launcher and getting better constantly. However, I have had a problem of misplaced text label for the drawer taps for all the versions so far (see attached image). I have lcddensity=220 on Froyo, and have not tried on the standard 240.
It's a bit laggy for me at the moment and all widgets are gone after every reboot...
Too bad, because I love this launcher.

The drawer's animation ruins all it's smoothness. Can you create an option to switch the drawers animation off ? Or change it with something smoother.
I really like this launcher, it's pretty clever.
I must say I do love this launcher, however after running it a couple of days it's showing up as a large battery consumer on my Droid Pro. (And unfortunanlty I can't afford to lose anymore battery on this device). LauncherPro normally runs 3-5% of my battery, and your launcher is pulling 10-12%.
Again, I'm a big fan, and definitely think this has potential, but until you guys can shave off some battery usage, I'm going to have to go back to LPro.

I am in doubt going back to lpp too for the same reason. After setting go launcher as my defàult launcher, i lose around 8 till 10% an hour, which is way too much...

I'm having problems with my widgets not visually updating correctly on Galaxy Spica 2.2 (CM 6.1.1 alpha 8.2)
You can see an example here (look at the date of the calendar widget)
I have this on all my widgets, including the power widget
Hi,
I really thought I was up-to-date with all theming related widgets and apps..but today I saw this picture of a clock widget with reflections and customizable colors plus customizable shades!!!
My dream of a clock widget! As far as I know even the great chronotopia clock widget can "just" rotate, but not do reflections....
Does anybody know what widget this is?
thanks!
Notice the IPhone maybe? But it looks like a lwp not just a clock. Try out wp clock

yes- maybe it is just an iphone app... but it is definitely not an lwp.
Because its from an blog for phone styles and the wall is free to download without any widget...
I guess its a themed widget of an iphone app...

Just now saw this. I think you can do this with Chronotopia. Granted I haven't tried it but this is how I would go about it. Duplicate the clock, rotate it so it's upside down. Then in the gradient make it so the alpha blend is 0 at the bottom (or top since it is rotated). That should do the trick, you can also adjust the x position of the gradient to make it fade out faster or slower. Hit me up if you need more help or let me know if it works.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread on this already!
I posted this in another thread, but mine looks like this. Not terribly interesting apart from the Widget.
For anyone that is interested, I'm using ADW Launcher, the Widget is a Beautiful Widget with an opacity setting of 30% I think. I also hide the icon labels, as it makes it a lot cleaner! I set the Columns to 7 and the Rows to 6 to get as many icons on the screen as I could without it looking too crowded.
The widgets used are as follows:
Widget Type: Beautiful SuperClock 4x3 (Tablet) - I stretched it out so it fits the screen better
Super Clock Skin: honeyclock
Weather Skin: FlatWhite
What are you using for screen cap?

I'm using the Dalvik Debug Monitoring Service (ddms.bat) in the tools directory of the Android SDK install. You must also have the correct drivers installed, which if you've rooted your KF, you should already have.
Once it's detected and connected to your device, you can go to Device > Screen Capture.

what launcher are you using?
I downloaded an app called ScreenshotUX, something like that. There used to be a bunch of screenshot apps in the market, what happened? Are they getting the boot from Google or something?

just went in to the file structure and replaced the image with my own. the wallpaper is from a poster who put up some alternate wallpapers to use instead of the defaults. i just pasted it 21 times in a folder and renamed them to the default names, so it never changes. in reality it's changing every time, it changes to the same pic each time. here's the pic. cant remember the link where i got it.

noticed you have the same weather widget bug, also happens to the pandora widget. something causes it to stretch like that, returns to normal after reset. you know what causes it and if there's a fix?
This is my homescreen as of now.
I really liked the wood bookshelf style of the kindle, so I decided to make wallpapers that would give that same look to other launchers (I'm using ADW).
I also attached a zipped folder with them, hope you guys enjoy.
Comments are always appreciated

Probably a stupid question but you guys that are using different launchers (which in this thread is everyone it seems lol) are you rooted or not? I'm going to side-install a few launchers and had no plans on rooting at this point BUT if it helps the alternate launchers work better I mine as well. Thanks for input and again, sorry if it's a dumb questions.
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say most of us are rooted simply because a lot of ppl seem to have several apps only found on the Android market. Of course you can sideload them without the market, but I think that instead of going through all that trouble most ppl have just rooted and installed the market (especially since it's so easy to do and also allows you to take screenshots).
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know what theme is this ? I can't seem to find it by name in the Play Store. I would be interested in applying it to Nova Launcher.
Thanks !

i use nova launcher and I use themes - I just like to control my icons and use ones that I like - the phone is still heavily themed even with nova - notifications - lock screen 0- settings- toggles - etc. Why not use Nova ? Its just the launcher - not the theme...
Google for tatosxl compacticons on deviantart,there is an apk with limited number of icons and zip files with many icons.They are "thicker" than glyphy's.
See screenshot with Nova icons set to 120 %

Hello friend, look for Flight Flat Minimalist Icon 2.5.8. That is the best white icon pack in the market.
