Help with advanced launcher please

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....

[Q] Sense For Froyo?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784116
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!

[Q] Home Screen in Landscape?

I've read elsewhere that occasionally there's a bug that causes the launcher to shift the homescreen to landscape mode in certain conditions. I'm wondering if there's a specific line in a file I could edit to keep my home screen in landscape, or if there's a way to just auto-rotate like an ordinary app would.
I'm using Firefly 3 if that helps.

It's that launcher that won't rotate. Pretty much any other launcher rotates...type "launcher" in the market give a few a try and find one you like.
Adw
Launcher pro
Go launcher
Just to name a few.

MacRom MR8 SR1 Homescreen stopped automatically rotating.
I updated my Droid Eris to the OS MacRom MR8 SR1. The auto-rotate feature was working fine, but then stopped working. I am using supercharger, set CPU, LauncherPro, Green Glass Keyboard, Muiu Camera, and Cache2Cache. I'm not sure if it is a problem with the Rom or an Application. Mad props to Macrodroid for the update. 3G is superfast! Allows you to customize your launcher! Any help would be appreciated. I would like to not have to wipe and re-flash the Rom if possible.

Not to be flippant or rude, but perhaps your inquiry would be better served in the Droid Eris forum.

Sorry, I thought I was on the Eris threads. Thanks for the guidance.

[Q] Fasty 1.7 touchwiz blackscreen

After having severe battery problems with gingerbread based ROMs I tried out Fasty 1.5, which was ok except for several process force closes. So I upgraded to 1.7 which solved most of those, but now I've got a problem with touchwiz. When I boot up TW force closes, then it loads up and I can run things. But if the phone goes to sleep, when I unlock it I get a black screen. The status screen works and I can launch things with that (like gmail) but TW never comes back and I'm forced to reboot.
The Sony/Ericsson launcher works OK, and so does the unpaid Launcher Pro I have.
Anyone else have this problem? Are there any other launchers that work well with Fasty?

Could always try to use an upgraded tw launcher from sgs tools. Itd be under upgrade stock apps

Sweet, thanks!
ETA: Yup, that did it! I installed another TW launcher (CrushD) and it's solid.

Honeycomb launcher

Just curious what the GTab owners that are running HC are using as their default launcher? I just flashed HC today, and actually intend on keeping it for a while. My problem is, I really miss using launcher pro on my Froyo roms. Just the ability to resize wigets and define columns and rows is invaluable. I've been reading on Xoom forums that many of it's users have actualy reverted back to ADW or LP. It's also been said that the HC widgets (scrollable) will still work, regardless of the launcher used.
SO...easy question, anybody go back to VTL or LP in lieux of the stock HC launcher? I think I'll mess with it tomorrow and see if I like it better. The one thing I think I like about the stock launcher is the long press ot add items to the home screen.

I am in the same boat. The HC launcher sucks. Sure there are some aspect that are nice but nothing that would make me stick with it as a long term launcher.
I may try my LP+ a little later.

I don't think VTL is compatible with HC.

I was running it for a while to see if I wanted to go in that direction. I never really used VTL all that much. Sometimes too much customization can get confusing. It ran fine while installed, no FCs (well, no more than stock launcher or LP, anyway) and no problems with widgets, etc. I think they probably said that it wasn't compatible for Honeycomb so that folks that install it don't come asking them to fix things. i mean, technically, honeycomb itself is buggy, so until the firmware is stable, a launcher can't be blamed for any hiccups that may occur.
In any case. I ended up installing Launcher Pro, and frankly, I'm loving it. It doesn't have the same honeycomb feel when adding items ot home page, but really, I only do this occasionally, anyway. and the app drawer isn't the same, obviously, but all in all, I like how it looks, and runs. I can use the entire screen for widgets (and resize them BIG +) and icons.
The only thing lost is the dock that's at the top of the HC screens, with search, apps, and + (add item to home screen)
well, I never use search, and I long press ot add items, so all I needed was my app drawer access. I set LP for 1 dock, no background, then added the app drawer icon to the very bottom of the "dock" so it looks like a perminant app drawer icon right above the notification bar. Looks sharp, if you ask me.

So it does. I gave it another shot and got a pretty sweet setup I think.

So I switched over to LP+ and now my battery life while not on (in standby) sucks and now I am back to the random shut downs when trying to power up from standby. The way it used to with older ROMs witch had never happened with an HC rom.
Now I could be full of it but that is me experience since installing LP+ Take it for what it's worth.
