Two major things I like about Holo Launcher. First is the multiple dock "bars" you can have. Second are the easily configurable home screens. A minor benefit is the way the app drawer can be configured. I just couldn't find a way to do those things with Xperia so that's why I like Holo Launcher.I finally gave holo another shot yesterday/last night. What am I missing with it because many people like it and I just don't see it? Totally not being a dick, promise.

I wanna switch my vote from Xperia to holo now
I've configured an upward swipe to open a menu with several choices to configure wallpaper, edit screens, manage apps, lock desktop, launcher settings, and system settings. From that menu I choose 'edit screens'. You can also get there by long-pressing the home screen and adding an icon to launch the 'Launcher Settings' screens.
That sounds like a fun couple of days. I've tried to play war a game, World at War Call of Duty, on an xBox360 and could never make it pass the first level. My old, arthritic hands just won't allow me to precisely manipulate the controls. I watch my son play online and I'm amazed at how realistic games have become. I remember playing my first computer video game, Pong, on a Radio Shack TRS-80 computer. Geez, that was a loooooong time ago.

I wish you luck in the game.
Yes, those were the days...my elementary school's idea of a word processor was a pencil. There were not even any pocket calculators. I had to learn algebra and trigonometry by hand. I learned to type in high school on a manual typewriter. We had one telephone in the house that was used by six people, two were my older sisters who talked all the time. There was a phone book which we used to find phone numbers. We used paper road maps to find our way. You got directions from the corner gas station. It took days for letters to be delivered. We saw grandparents four or five times a year when the family took a vacation. There were no air conditioners. Those were the days alright!
I thank jetx2x for helping to see that the changes he makes are good. This ROM is a wonderful example of a clever mind at work.

Now schools have computers for word processors. My phone has a calculator that can easily calculate trigonometric functions. Now the function of the manual typewriter is contained on the screen of your phone. There is no sharing of a single telephone anymore with just about everyone walking around with their own cell phone or smartphone and finding phone numbers is as easy as looking at your contact list. GPS navigation has done away with paper road maps with electronic voices telling us how to get to our destination, turn-by-turn. Now I can exchange letters in a matter of seconds and even see each other in real time using apps like Skype. These are the days alright!
One thing is for sure...change is coming. It's up to us to make sure the changes are good......
