ADW Launcher

[BigRick10]

Ok so I don't know if this has been mentioned before and if it has I apologize. I searched and didn't find anything. I'm new to Android and still finding new things. So I am running CM6 and as you guys know it comes with ADW. So if you press and hold the launcher icon and swipe up and hides the tab along with the phone and broswer to the left and right. Then I dragged some icons down and to my surprise they stayed. To get the launcher icon back all you do is swipe down in te area and it pops back up. Thought it was kinda cool. You can also add more apps then what the screen width allows you too and they are scrollable. Here is what my screen look like right now.

I'm not rooted but I tried ADW launcher for a while and liked it at first but after a while I went back to Sense because it was lagging my phone. I really loved how customizable it was though. Plus, the fact that I could view my homescreens in landscape mode was really awesome. It's a shame that it didn't work out for me.

I'm lovin using ADW, prefer it much more over LauncherPro. Plus I can turn up desktop scrolling speed, which gets rid of that pesky choppiness that Sense has.

are you sure you removed all your sense homescreen widgets and apps while you were trying ADW? cause it really shouldnt lag even a little bit.

I'm running adw now and am experiencing a lot of pay myself.

About to switch back to sense or launcher pro.

I'm really interested in trying ADW or Launcher Pro. Having 5 to 6 shortcuts in the dock rather then just 3 is worth it alone to me.

From what I've read make sure you set your scene to "clean slate" in Sense before installing ADW or Launcher Pro. That will help alleviate any goofy issue caused by unsupported widgets.

Nice clean layout BigRick, I like it. What's the clock/weather widget?

I like ADW Launcher more than LauncherPro.

I tried LauncherPro, but ADW has some settings with the launcher that I especially like.
ADW Launcher also keeps the background when scrolling, which can lag if you have a live wallpaper. :/... but I don't use one.

Anyway, I might try out LauncherPro later... but so far I'm liking ADW.



Plus ADW is opensource.
Holla!
