okay so i have a Hero running on Eclair 2.1 v1.8-7 and i caNt get advanced launcher to work for the life of me i install it as any other apk file and then all it does is just force close i have seen a couple of different versions of advanced launcher laying around but all the ones i find seem to always give me force close, have i been installing the wrong ones?? and i plan on using metamorph with this btw i already downloaded so manythemes just need to get advaned launcher working thanks for all yalls help here!
if u are talking about the nexus 3d launcher it will not work until the opengl 3d drivers can be configured, i have it installed on aosp 2.0.1 build, doesnt force close, but just sits on a black screen, i gave up on that and now using just the themed launcher, but good luck trying to use it with sense on 2.1
no no i am trying to install another home thing called advanced launcher it is meant to be used with metamorph mostly i think....

hi all i am new and was wondering if i can install the fresh rom and replace the sense launcher with the nexus one launcher and lock screen while keeping the htc widgets
but i have fresh rom and some sort of nexus like launcher and a white notification bar with the htc widgets
thx for help i have one last question wat do i need to edit the sense icons like browser and sms to the stock android icons
Those are not sense icons. You are using an application called LauncherPro. The nexus launcher was removed due to instability and replaced by LauncherPro. Unfortunately the current version does not allow for customization of the bar at the bottom like Helix does, but the dev said that he has a plan to do so and it will be out in the next release, which is expected in a week or 2. There are alternatives to the sense widgets and the performance increase you get from not using sense is so great I will never go back. Check out the pure widgets. If you have the newest version of Fresh that was released this morning, LauncherPro is already linked to the market and you should see any updates, but if you are running any other version, you will need to download the update from the market to establish the link.
no i am not using laucherpro
and wat i meant by edit sms broswer icons i meant from the actual apps not the icons on the bottom bar but the actuak icon of the app
I believe application icons are packaged as part of the APK so you would have to edit those manually. I don't have much experience with that, but you might have issues because I am pretty sure the signing process for an APK includes a hash, so modifying the internals would probably invalidate the signature therefore cause android to puke, but you could give it a try.
Hi all...just a newbie Question....can anyone help in what file i need to push to a CM5 or CM6 and using the stock N1 launcher...really hate ADW, thanxs in advice
I'm wondering the same thing.
Just upgraded to CM6 and I don't see why they dont let us choose between stock and ADW.
:/
There's a launcher in Market called "Launcher Pro", it's style is pretty similar to stock launcher.
However to make it feel like stock launcher more, you'll need chance few settings in preferences
Does anyone else have an issue with LP not working right at boot up...it prompts me to wait or force close....I choose close and then it works fine till my next reboot...

that happens to me on my evo if I touch the screen while it's still wrapping up booting.
I just hit the wait button and it's all good within a few seconds.
Obviously these phones display the homescreen before they finish booting
I will just wait it out then...thanks

love launcher pro...I woudl like to find a way to remove ADW all together once their is a stable RC. ADW still runs even though I have Launcher Pro set as default. I have to force close it every morning.
I already have removed adw and now that I am being patient at boot up I am having no further issues

will this work with the froyo roms available for the hero?
Thanks in advance
I've just tried the launcher with my FroydVillain 1.5 Hero, but it buged out the launcher at the bottom.
I installed the ADW launcher in the zip and tried with that, but for some reason I had my phone icon and browser icon overlaying the sense phone and the adw settings button. I have uninstalled, but will be giving it another go at some point. You never know, it could well work for you!

Same! What do you think is causing that , the best i could do to fix it was turn the size down of the buttons in the menu
Not sure what causes it. Going to he doing some looking thus weekend if I manage to get some free time.

Sounds really interesting....

Update - didn't have any free time! Don't know what i was thinking that I would!
Anyways, I have downloaded the ADW theme template in eclipse to see what controls what with the themes - this will likely take me an age... I apparently do not have any time!
Anyone else have any updates to this? Really want to get this working as it would kick ass with widget locker and fancy widget!
A few days ago I installed the froyo aospmod from this thread: link, and I just love it as it does everything I need it to do and it's fast as hell, but the thing that is bothering me is that the launcher doesn't have any animations. For example when scrolling through homescreens or opening the appdrawer everything is instant and not as smooth as other third party launchers or the htc sense launcher. gingerbread launcher 2.3 works like I want it to with smooth transitions and effects but it has the new grey dock background and I really like the froyo (glass) background. So my question is there a fix for this or is there something missing? I really hope there is as I'd like to keep my phone as stock as possible and the gingerbread dock just doesn't seem right to me.
I have an HTC Sprint Hero in case that helps any. I've tried mixing the xml files from the anim folder from the 2.3 launcher to the launcher 2 but that didn't help any. I've been searching for a fix for the past two days so any help is appreciated.
Try more launchers. My favorite is adw ex. Launcher plus pro is nice. Go launcher is nice. Etc, etc, etc.
Thanks I'm using launcher pro at the moment, I just thought maybe there was a fix for this as I've seen other people with the same ROM and launcher but with the nice scrolling and transitions. Maybe its a hero issue? Hopefully someone does know a fix for this instead of replacing the launcher completely.
