Everyone's favorite screen launcher

How is it crippled? I've seen a few people saying this, and I can't fathom where this is coming from. And I've seen people saying that JIT is disabled in the leak, which is just false.
Never mind. I found Sweeter Home and downloaded the current version. I guess it's gearing up for an upgrade and release on the market?
In any case it is an entirely new take on a launcher and I haven't begun to scratch the surface yet. It definitely seems to be worth a look. I think if you are into serious customization this might be the way to go. Too early to tell yet though.

I tried both ADW and Launcherpro Plus. The thing for me was the "gestures" for the Dock Icons, and being able to change the dock background. I kicked the tires on both, and I think I discovered all the bells and whistles of both, but I chose Launcherpro Plus. There were some features in ADW that I wish I could "move" to Laucherpro or versa visa.

Is there a way to have 7 screens with ADW? I loaded it and for the life of me couldnt find the settings to set this up. All I had was 5. With LauncherPro I could tell it how many screens I wanted from 1-7.

I have used a lot of different Home screen launchers for my 7" Eken-001 and prefer ADW Launcher
. It has a good handle on the 7" screen. I also like it on my Droid X, but I have no problem with standard launcher on the Droid X.
If you select "Menu>ADW Settings. Look for a plus sign (top left). That is the only indication(there is no text on the icon). when you go to "home view you will see 7 previews. This confused me until I stumbled upon it.

LP+ has been very quick and user friendly I think.
i dont see a plus sign.
Sorry, I tried to go from memory, I got the two mixed up. I used Home Switcher to jump back to ADW. It should be Settings>Edit. (Bottom Left) It will bring up a Home preview of your 7 screens, and you "tap" the plus sign. My Bad.

I found another home screen launcher thats really customizable and me thinks its a cool launcher. Its called SweeterHome its in beta and not in the market so you will have to go to there site to try it out.
SweeterHome - Start - sweeterhome.com
SweeterHome - Start - sweeterhome.com
It might be a "which was installed first" scenario but I like the options with ADW better. Plus the DroidX theme works pretty well. I really like being able to resize my screen (columns and rows) so I can fit more on the home screen. Now I have just about everything on my home screen for instant access. Seems just as snappy as the stock UI. I'm not rooted, running 2.1 standard waiting for 2.2 tomorrow!
Just to give it another chance, I'm installing LP (again) to play with. Some things it does I like but ADW seems to do 95% of what I want/need of a home launcher.

launcher pro plus just got another update
one of the new features is more rows and columns and auto resizing of icons so they don't overlap when using more rows
