Just another weblog (about android)

Nice work, but why no Donut System Version?

Isnt it about time? Dont forget the roots!

hey im diggin the app…im runnin cyanogens 5.0.8 t4 so ita already included…..

i had a question….i dont like “seeing” the notification bar so i do like the option to hide it (which is already included so thanx :] ) but do u think it would be possible just to make the notification bar hidden but still have the option to swipe it down?

its a lil more convenient than hitting menu then notification….and i figured itd be easier to get to u than to cyanogen….

Thanks for the sweet launcher and ur time ;)

Since yesterdays update my folders have no labels. I had originally chosen to remove labels on my desktop icons and labels on the folder remained which is what I wanted since having several identical floder icons with no labels causes confusion. Please put the folder labels back.

Just a quick question, is there any difference between adb push and overwriting the file (using root explorer for exsample) in /system/app??

Best….Launcher…..Ever!!!!

I love this home replacement but worried with everyone’s two cents it can get bloated like others out there. They all start out fast like Helix Launcher and gradually go downhill as everyone wants the kitchen sink with it.

I pretty much love it the way it is and just improve speed & performance.

Thanks so much for the work and fabulous app!

Hell yeah! Thanks for the fast update. How about tabbed app drawer soon?

Thanks, home button now work correctly in app drawer (returns to home, not preview) but still start preview if pressed from “settings”

Hey,

awesome work man…works pretty good.

Any plans for a new donut system version? Would be great if there would be a newer one than the 0.6.9

Ok I have a nexus which one should I flash?
Hdpi or mdpi

Do you have any plans to include the option for the 3D drawer? That is one of the only new features I would love to see. Great work though, I love it. Thanks.

Exelent launcher !

I recently switched from Launcher PRO to this one, and adding the option for 4 action buttons cemented my choice.

Now, i have a friend whining cause since yesterday (maybe after 0.8), he notices that the home screen is not as smooth, it sometimes “hangs” (almost unnotizable :P) when switching screens.

Today launcher pro was updated to also support scrollable widgets, and people reported that it now was less smooth too, in a similar way.

the developer then added the option to disable scrollable widgets, cause he thinks the problem was related to that.

Could you add the option not to enable scrolling in widgets, for people that don´t need that feature ?

Feature: Hide labels in drawer.

I die every time I see a new version without the option. :P

Best so far. Needs some more basic options likr swipe up for drawer instead of dock, option for drawer backgrounds (like nexus bg) put icons next to drawer (not action buttons) and uninstall on drop. Please!

Hi,

I have a problem, LAB and RAB are shown in preview mode even when I disable it in options, using 0.8.2 version, but drawer button is not shown… any fix soon? This didn’t happen with previous versions

With large widgets when you add more routes to the desktop then some of the widget is cut off at the bottom

I like the additions and the way the icon text when you open the app drawer is hidden until the icons are all faded in.

Downside is that swiping between the homes screens seems to be a wee bit laggy with 0.8.2 (Donut version). The app drawer animation might be a bit more laggy too.

I uninstalled ADW, preferring LauncherPro instead, but for some reason, when I turn on the phone, the ADW background shows up for an instant. Ideas on how to get rid of it?

For use in latests cyanogenmod 5.0.8-testX
adb push ADWLauncherxxxxx.apk /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

i did push the file and it says:
1279 KB/s (649944 bytes in 0.496s)

when i reboot the phone and check the ADWSettings it still says version 0.7.8 what am I doing wrong?

Great app, but was wondering if there Is a way to revert to an older market version? Thanks

Very nice launcher! Only thing I miss now, is the little vibration on widgets/shortcuts grab!

Anyway, thanks for all your work!

Hey Anderweb, just to clarify… will 0.8.2 remove the stock Home for non-rooted users? or just for rooted? Up to this point I’ve installed it on my non-rooted droid and kept the stock home. I’m hesitant to install this latest update before hearing your response. Thanks :)

I absolutely love this launcher and have since it hit the market. Any chance you could include a 3D appdrawer like the nexus one has?

nice update thank u !! please for the 1000 times fix the delay of dots & the highlight press color problem for widges :p …. aslo 3d drawer would kick launcher pro’s ass lol thank u so so much

I love the customization options. Maybe you can put an option of the transparency level on the notification bar on the next release. Otherwise awesome launcher!!

I am thoroughly loving this launcher! It can be set to whatever you like and it’s only version 0.8!
In the future versions would it be possible to have the selection glow effect (when you press an icon) only around the icon itself and not a giant generic box. currently, the box goes into the other icons and it’s just distracting.
Thanks

Installed on HTC MyTouch. Ran update this afternoon and now the home key (the one with the little house) doesn’t work!!! Please help!!!

Hello

Just upgraded to 0.8.2 and I notice too much lag in changing desktop screens. I use widgets in all 5 screens and it was running super smooth up to 0.7.8 but now it is way too laggy. I don’t know if it is the widget scrolling thing but it is unusable now.
Hope you can fix it soon!

Cheers

ADW can you explain a little about the backup restore? That is how this will be of use. Sorry for simple question. Can it be used when replacing phone? Maybe just a backup copy on the card in case of serious phone crash?….Thank You.

ADW Launcher is a great work. THX. But what about a system Version for 1.6? Would be greater ;).

Hello, nice work man. I like this app very much.

But one problem after updating to version 0.8.2 with my non-rooted Milesteon 2.1, how can I deleted a used button in the 1st and 2nd action line? Long pressing the button doesn´t work anymore!?

René

In my Cyanogen 5.0.8t3 I need to do:
adb remount
then…
adb push C:\path\to\ADWLauncher_0.8.2_sytem_mdpi.apk /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

Hi,

I Pushed the ADW Launcher Alternate for my Froyo on Nexus.

I am unable to change settings. Where do I change settings from ?

Thanks

Great app!
After 8.2 my power widget is larger. App rows are set to 8. And columns to 5. Widget used to match that scale. Can this be changed back?

hola,
usando la version 0.82 del market.
hay un problema al añadir widgets.
el widget no se añade en la posicion en la que has hecho el
click, sino en otra posicion aleatoria, lo que
obliga a mover el widget para reposicionarlo.
gracias

are the sources released?

Hi,

I have a bug on the number of screen parameter: I have to set 5 on settings to get 4 desktop screens.

If I set 7 in the xml file and restore it, I got 7 screens and the parameter is set to 8.

thx

most excellent work on this app. thank you very much.

the new version seems to have a change that is affecting “Digital Clock Widget” (from the marketplace). that dev has reported in the past an issue with the time getting cut off. I never had that issue until the after installing 0.8.2, i’m not sure if this is a you or him thing. but it’s like the ‘grid’ is off somehow. i tried mucking with the recently added stretch icons settings but so far no love.

any ideas appreciated. as much as i like how that clock works for my layout, it will go away before adw.launcher. :)

issue resolved. i went and readjusted all the column/row numbers and the stretchy thing again (basically jiggling the handle) and restarted. it is displaying correctly now.

quite probably user error.

k…i’m going to go back and see if i can break it again….

Looks like it sometimes forgets about apps installed to the sdcard in Froyo

After latest update, a new problem seems to have cropped up for me. When exiting an application that has been running for a little while, there is the blank wallpaper and all the icons and widgets have to reload one by one. Running 2.1OTA on the Eris.

Still hoping for the addition of “move to default desktop/show hide statusbar” in the home binding option. Thanks for all the great work!

Thank you very much for the great Launcher! It works great on my milestone, however, I noticed that when I enabled the “Wallpaper Hack”, my wallpaper went down a few millimeters (I think this due to the space for status bar). And another thing is that it doesn’t move the actual wallpaper, when I lock the screen I see the wallpaper place differently on your Launcher.

Please look into those two bugs :-)

Thank you again for your hard work!

hola,
en la version 0.82 (market), cuando clicas en el boton
central (para que se abra el menu de aplicaciones) o
cuando clicas en la casita (para volver al escritorio),
no se oye el sonido (chasquido) habitual que se oye
cuando clicas en cualquier icono (si lo tienes configurado
para ello). el sonido si se oye si clicas en LAB o RAB
o en los puntitos laterales.
gracias!

Great launcher. With latest update though, the background for the all apps button wont hide. Tried cycling the check box a couple of times, reloading the launcher and nada. The RAB/LAB backgrounds hide fine – and the all apps background hid ok in the prior version. Running on a stock Incredible.

Any way to hide apps from drawer like font packs?

hi,
love this launcher. some suggestions:

o instead of the auto stretch, why not have the widgets scale to fit the row/col instead?

o any way to make it so that holding down the trackball (for a predefined amount of time, ie: 2 seconds) will put the phone in standby mode? or maybe even make this a hold-down-home-button option?

if the 2nd happens i would be more than happy to donate. :)
