Home Replacement Apps: ADW Launcher

[dirtyfingers]

Sorry resizing the widget just made it worse and the stretch setting did nothing. I didn't try to change the rows or columns yet because I really like to have 5 rows and 4 columns it seems to work perfect for me. Would there be any way that I could change the rows or columns for just one of my seven home screens?

Also is it going to affect my phones performance having multiple launchers installed? I have LP, ADW, and the stock launcher and sometimes like to jump around to different ones.

Yo Bilge ... I just updated my ADW to Version 1.3.6... only new things I noticed right off the bat was the new option to lock the desktop, and also the trashcan can be moved to top or bottom (or none at all)... so far so good, but STILL just a tad of redraw when exiting an app or after waking up the phone.

But still lovin it

what does lock/unlock desktop do?

It locks your desktop widgets, screens and icons so that you can't accidently change anything (I know I've done it). I'm guessing it disables longpress actions, etc...

Its a neat feature.

I just put in 1.3.6 last night, had 1.1.5 from Sapphire 1.1.1.

Was easy enough to install fm market, and restore settings I already had backed up.

Replace widgets and was good to go. Only thing that threw me was that I could remove the launcher middle button (action button) but couldn't get it back.

Then, figured out why - if you select to have the trash bin at the bottom WITHOUT the resize desktop option, anytime you long press it (trash) will cover the action buttons. Changed to bottom with shrink desktop and am good to go!

Loving it so far, figured I'd missed out on several changes long enough

So has anyone tried the new ADWLauncher EX? I'd like to get some feedback and commentary before I spring for the 3 bucks. :icon_ banana:

I jusy bought it and am trying it out. I really like it. Background colours on app icons, neat. 3d drawer is cool. Presets are awesome, he included two, iphoneish and nexus oneish.

Well you know how I like to tinker LOL

I went ahead and sprung for it, and I have been playing with it to. Just got all my screens set up so now it's time to play with the settings.

One thing I noticed is when I tap the phone settings button, I have no settings option to tap on, do I need to uninstall the old ADW?

 

[Bilgediver]

Its under adw settings, its the top menu section under phone.

Took me a bit to figure it out.
I really like it though, the most customizable yet, very tinkerable

I found that after I posted but didn't have time to edit LOL

Should I uninstall the old ADW or just leave it?

I got rid of the old ADW, I didnt see a point to have it take up space in my phone if I got a new and better one anyways.

So far it's well worth the 3 clams... and it seems to be much snappier than the old version... I'm liking it. Especially the screen transitions. :icon_ banana:
