Just Dl'd. Gonna give it a shot tonight when I get up. From what I see posted above, this may pry me away from Sense, which was the #2 reason for getting this phone. We shall see.....

I also like launcherpro., but holy hell i just tried to change my wallpaper using astro and I got stuck in the nastiest force close loop ever! lol freaken sucked, didnt want to do a batt pull, but finally got the power button to pop up between force close messages, and turned the phone off. has this happened to anyone else? or am i just that lucky?:rolleyes:

Never happened to me, but why use astro to pick your wallpaper?

That happened to me while testing out Helix... uninstalled due to that force close loop... it was like the song that never ends... it just goes on and on my friend... some people started singin' it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just becuase... it is the* FC... you get the idea.

Yeah, I got that FC loop, too ... right after I gave the dev a "donation" to get access to the latest version. :mad:

There's no sign of a fix, and the dev claims he's too busy to spend much time fixing the app. So as far as Helix goes, it's goodbye and good riddance!

yup... so far though, I am liking ADW.

I tried out launcher pro for a few minutes but it was missing ONE thing that made me switch back to ADW... In ADW I can set my home key to show/hide the notification bar....

I like the way ADW has the dock tray. It may only have two slots on the dock but it has six directly underneath it in the tray and that is cool.

Plus it is super fast on my phone.. no lag at all...

Probably donate a couple bucks to the Dev. after I decide if it is going to stay or not.
 
FWIW, the latest version of LauncherPro gives you the ability to show/hide the notification bar, along with a number of other new features.

Really, you can't go wrong with either ADW or LauncherPro. I'm sticking with LauncherPro for now, because ADW has some really noticeable lag on my device, and I'm not a huge fan of the way its dock is set up ... but I'm keeping an eye on it for the future.
 
Personally I got both, ADW and LauncherPro installed , I usually get bored of the way my phone looks verry often so just switch back and forth whenever I feel bored, for me the two of them are just awesome,, but then again thats just me

AGREE ^^

I love both of them as well and have both of them installed
 
I can't tell a difference between the standard Home and ADW's home, in terms of speed or anything. Just more pages, and places to put icons / shortcuts. I think it's pretty cool, but I think my wife would just shrug her shoulders and stick with the basics.

BTW - I have 54M memory free with ADW pretty loaded. (sorry - haven't figured out the screenshot thing yet)
 
0.7.6 is out now, anyone else having a problem with it not showing in the market? Actually ADW.Launcher doesn't come up at all
 
I can see it in the market. It's still listed at 0.7.5 tho.

Loving this launcher. Thanks to the op for posting this thread!
 
Why are so many people on here concerned about the bottom buttons? I leave the app drawer closed so that I see my 6 bottom buttons all the time. There is not that much use for going into the app drawer, especially if you have Apps Organizer, which is awesome. If I have to go in to the app drawer, I close up my 6 buttons and when I come out, I go back to the 6 buttons again.

I am a Home Replacement Whore. I have tried all of them and thought I was going to settle on Taghome since I didn't want to root just to get ADW. When it came to the market, I couldn't believe it. I am a HUGE fan.

It is the fastest on my Samsung Moment and it uses the least battery life. Oh, and did I mention the 6 buttons that I have no matter which screen I am in. LOL
 
I always delete my alt. homes if i dont use em to save space. so i cant do it cause i cant find it to download again
