[METAMORPH] [5/27/10] Themed ADW Launcher2 w/ working Nexus Preview & Scrolling Dots
Hello..
I know, I know..not another metamorph from THIS guy! lol.
So as per request/offer, here it is! First off, a great big thank you to AnderWeb, who was able to mix in code from the eclair launcher2 into cyanogen's github to make a working nexus Launcher2. And I also made this a seperate thread from the other one for people who might not want to download the ADW Launcher.
DISCLAIMER: YOU MUST FIRST DOWNLOAD ANDERWEB'S LAUNCHER2 WHICH CAN BE FOUND HERE BEFORE FLASHING THIS METAMORPH WITH METAMORPH
HOW TO METAMORPH THESE FILES:
Go into the Android Market, and search for Metmorph, and then download and install. Once it's done installing, open Metamorph, and it will ask to do some checks and when the Superuser Permissions come up, click Allow, making sure that 'Remember' is checked on...once that is done, just press on 'Unzip/Extract new theme' and navigate to where you downloaded the file. Click on the zip file, and then it should unzip it for you automatically. Click 'Close' on the pop up, and then click on 'Apply All!' which should appear on the bottom right button, then just wait for it to do its thing. If a warning comes up about the framework edit, just hit continue. Once you press the home button, as is usual of metamorph edits, there will be a brief pause and black screen while the page reloads, and it should be done. Hope I explained it well for you. Let me know if you have any problems.
Well, here you go! Enjoy!

just updated the OP with one made from 0.5 five by five launcher for ya. More colors are coming.

Updated OP with new elegance launcher metamorph for latest AnderWeb Launcher2, version 0.5d(fast). Works flawlessly and it's pretty close now to the actual Nexus launcher. Check it out! You won't regret it!

i like the elegance one. good work. however is it not balanced? looks like its longer on the right side than the left? make it perfectly symmetrical and itll be perfect.
edit: yeah if i scroll all the way to the left. the 4th dot is on the launcher pic

not for the latest version, cuz I just tested that and it came out flawless. I'm guessing you're talking about the other versions then..the 0.4 and 0.3 elegance. I shall work on that and see if I can get it perfect. thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. It's always good to get some feedback on themes

thats teh one i applied.
but yeah no problem.
thanks for your hard work. least i can do is give you feedback

this might seem like a dumb question, but just humor me on this. what version launcher do you have installed?

I'm wondering if you can do a remake of the original nexus preview dots for the launcher. The ones that come with the apk seem too large, especially on a HVGA screen.

ahah! that's why you're having a problem. the one that you downloaded is for his latest one that he didn't post in the OP. it's called verion 0.5d fast. i think it's his best launcher yet. and the edits i made to it work perfectly(see last two screenshots in OP) so yeah..use that one. i think the 0.4 and 0.3 version does have that overlapping problem, but i'll probably have a fix out for it later on today. but yeah, i would recommend using the 0.5d version linked below, and then go to the OP and then flash the corresponding elegance theme for it. here's the link, btw:

@TonyDeez, I will see what I can do for that. if possible(but no promises) I'll see if i can do that today, cuz I do have a busy evening, but I will try my best to get it to ya soon.

Updated OP with new Sense UI look for ADW Launcher2. Check it out!

man, what an honor to have you compliment on that. i'm glad you like it. i really like sense ui, and i absolutely love your laauncher so i made one that incorporated your launcher2 and still have the sense feel. and that would be awesome if you did the whole shortcut thing. that is one thing I think we are missing to really have the sense look for donut complete. thanks for what you've accomplished already. I appreciate it.

omg this is so awesome =)

adwlauncher vs launcherpro

Which would you prefer and why? I like adw's robust options but it seems that launcherpro is more stable. Could be a placebo though. What do u guys think?

i use AWD
(10 char)

I have both installed on my Froyo Nexus and I'm constantly going back and forth between the two. It's like a personal war between the 2 devs/teams. Its pushing both of them hard and its awesome.
I finally made my choice today and went with ADW because of the number of rows and columns I can make as well as edit the widgets to my liking. I use 5 x 6 and its pretty nice I think.
Thing I miss the most from LP is the 3d launcher and the new dock.
Both of them seem stable for everyday use for me.
But once ADW added the custom widget sizing thing, I knew ADW was the winner for me. I'll still keep LauncherPro and follow its progress but right now, its ADW.
I have 7 screens but here are the middle 3.

The top 86 is my current weather.
The 28% and 30 is one of them didn't update as fast as the other.
The 29.0c/84.2f is the battery temp.
Hope that clears it up.

I use LP. It already has scrollable lower row (with shortcuts), rows/columns change in Launcher mode, and 3D app drawer.

I have both installed and have gone between them countless times but this last week I've been leaning towards LP. It's not a placebo, Launcher pro isn't quite as customizable as ADW [yet] but updates are coming twice a week and it's gets better every time.

LP - I think a great app does not need thousands of options. While they are nice, lp just seems to work how I want and requires very little from me. I tried adw many times, but always go back.
I wish it would allow you to change the launcher background color and transparency though, like adw.
I was not a fan of changing my desktop from 4x4... Everything seemed weird at 5x5 for me.

I love launcherpro, the dev is constantly improving it and now we have a side-scrollable dock with 10 extra buttons, it really is amazing.

After realizing ADW is open source and Launcher pro is not, I'm sticking with ADW.

It'd be nice if you could just switch launchers without setting EVERYTHING up again... Widgets, apps... I'm using LauncherPro right now, it's really nice.. Haven't tried ADW yet, but perhaps I will sometime.

I use adw and love it! I think that it is much cleaner and more "android" looking. The adw dev just released an update today that made it WAY more stable.

ADW FTW! i have both and constantly switching too, but i like adw best

Launcher Pro. I hate ADW launcher for some reason..

I have been using ADW and decided to try launcher pro after reading this thread. They both seem to be doing a great job. They have introduced unique ideas to almost same tasks.
If the developers of both the launchers are reading this forum, please try to see if you guys can collaborate.

Both are amazing!!
And it´s freaking great, that we can choose, what we wanna use!
Android & Android Devs rock !!!!****

I use ADW Launcher because it's open source
But Launcher Pro is very good too

I to really like ADW and especially the open source side of things
However one feature i really like on LP is the screen selector notifier bar thingy at the bottom that's real nice
but still ADW is my launcher of choice! and i only just found out about the swiping up on the bottom thing yesterday! even though that's probably been in a few versions

LauncherPro.

Hate to move away from the topic.. but I have to ask someone...
What is this instant diversion people have to closed-source software?
Just because something is open-sourced doesn't mean it is instantly better than the competition, or does it?
I myself have both installed, I switch back and forth - generally with new updates to check them out. Right now, ADW is my default, the custom widget sizes makes using a 6x6 layout possible. Which rocks!
But, LauncherPro has some great features, and is equally as good a product.

launcher replacements

sooooooo i have been thinking about getting adw launcher but my biggest worry is that if i use that. the orginial launcher will be running in background resulting in even less battery life for me! Is that indeed the case? it uses more battery because 2 launchers are running?

No, programs running in the background will not take up any battery. The original launcher will stay in memory but it will not take up any battery. Just remove any widgets from the original launcher that check for updates, like weather, twitter, facebook, etc...

just delete it.. and push it back if you want it back..

Just try it out. I find launcher pro is significantly smoother than the stock launcher. It's very iPhone like. Beautiful

Oh, scandalous blasphemy!
I like LauncherPro a lot more than ADW. As far as I'm concerned the only reason so many ROM devs worship ADW is because it's open source. That's totally understandable, but I think LauncherPro is so much smoother.

+1 on LauncherPro
LauncherPro is new and only in the beta stage and it already has more features and works better than ADW.

Yep.
The ONLY thing I liked better about ADW was the ability to make the app drawer transparent. That was awesome. But that's not enough for me to use it over LauncherPro.

I like LauncherPro. But it cut my battery life in half. So I booted it from my phone.

I was a Launcher Pro Beta user until the last few updates started asking for too many permissions for my tastes.
Now I use ADW Launcher that is integrated into CM6. It works great, though if you use a live wallpaper, it's not as smooth as Launcher Pro. On a static wallpaper, however, both are perfectly smooth. I hear Launcher Pro has problems on CM6 where some icons disappear if they are stored on the SD card, and that you have to set VM heapsize to 24 MiB.

That's the only reason i use it honestly. LP is much smoother and I'm thinking about going back to it now that I'm using the droid x live wallpaper. ADW is way too choppy with live wall's. Hopefully LP gets transparent app drawer soon

How can I delete the stock launcher? If want it back how do I put back on phone?

Your favorite launcher?

I've downloaded ZEAM and LauncherPro....are there any others that I might like better?

Adw and launcherpro seem to be the most popular. I like launcherpro myself, but adw is still good.

yea adw or LP
i like LP best for the >>>SPEED>>>

You can try out.
ADW.launcher
HelixLauncher
LiveHome
GDE (not free)
All are on the market.
I have Launcher pro as my default right now but I think that LiveHome may be quicker. I also hear that aHome has a new beta out.

Launcher pro! Super fast

ADW Launcher is what I use. It is free and open source. Plenty fast too.

ADW is pretty fast for me D: .. i didn't eve bother with touchwiz lol LP was nice as well..

ADW. It even has themes now.

ADW is the way for me, works great !!!

I use LP..
Wish it had innate theme capability..

I currently use stock Nexus One launcher. like it very much.

Check out the donate version of LP (get free version then do in app upgrade) the calendar widget is pretty baller, I find myself unable to live without it now

I wish I could change dock background in ADW
I wish Notification tab would be back in ADW
I wish I could have dots in LP (with Captivate lack of trackball and bottom icons too close to my left palm)
I wish I could change desktop columns amount in LP

Used to use LauncherPro, but now using ADW because:
1) Supports more columns and more rows (needed especially after changing LCD Density to 200, works great with 5 columns and 6 rows (LP max is 4 columns and 5 rows)
2) It seems that ADW closes a lot less because it uses less ram, and also seems to load apps quicker (?)

same here i use to use launcher pro then switched to adw launcher and im liking adw better i just miss the 3d app drawer but i like scrolling horizontally better tho

I used to use ADW, but I switched to Launcher Pro. I plan on alternating between the two (one of the reasons to love Android). I'm now using Launcher Pro because of:
*3D app drawer
*hidden apps
*multiple docks
*appearance (I like the icons)
*speed
I'll echo the opinion that ADW and LP are the best.

ADW and LP Dev's need to team up and make a super launcher...

If LP had a horizontal app drawer id be in heaven. Until then adw is win.

Straight Rosie Bar

Hi there, does anybody know if a Straight Rosie Bar "Dock" exists for the Sensation Xl ??
Have scoured the forums but to no avail, i was hoping someone would have made one.
Thanks

sounds more likely to be a launcher replacement then actual Rosie Release

Arh thats what it is called a Launcher, hehe always called it a dock. Doh!!

Try something like ADW Launcher, Go Launcher, Launcher PRO etc. from the market. many of them have themes which are extremely close to Sense, but using various different docks at the bottom.
