Is there anyway to change the color or make the dockbar sick looking like what most devs have when they show off a new theme? Im using adw as my hime
Only LP has this.

What? Other launchers have it. I use Go Launcher, and it has it.

Oh. I've only tried adw and LP. Now I have adw ex and its a win.

I had adw ex, adw, and lp. Im using lp, but I do miss the swipe up/down. But the 3d drawer is awsome. Yet, where can I find the images to make the dockbar different?
um.. if you mean the bottom dockbar to change the icons etc...? You can poke around here - or just do a google search for launcher pro docks and icons - should find a bunch to choose from.
Another plug for LauncherPro. look in my sig for a link to a dock and icons I made. They are free and wonderful.

I'm using ADW Launcher and really like it but would like to change some things if possible. The thing I would like to change the most is the scrolling in the app drawer. I don't know if it's possible but I would love to see some elastic/kinetic scrolling effects there. Even the stock launcher does it so I don't know why ADW won't. It just doesnt feel natural when it stops so brutal.
I also wonder if the icons used in the dock can be changed? I like the ones from the stock launcher more. Or is there a theme that looks like the stock launcher?

Looks like Fede is about to go neck and neck with ADW Ex in the eye-candy department. Installed and now I have BOTH smoothness/performance AND nifty screen transitions.
been a big fan of LPP
I agree. I'm addicted to lpp Widgets. They are a leaner, more well designed version of what sense should have been if HTC placed function over gaudiness.

Loving the cube transition. If you keep high quality imaging it looks very cool. On a side note, running cm7 with LPP I don't notice any performance decrease turning on all animations and what not. Still super smooth and fast.

really? I cant get the LPP Widget for People working, there is no LPP Widget for Weather
and no LPP Widget for Exchange Email ! DOH!
Launcher Pro slow for me
Maybe it's just my Aria, but LP seems much slower than ADW built into ROM.
Any ideas why?
Lpp refers to launcher pro plus. The awesomeness is only available in the paid or otherwise pirated full version. But due to just how great it is, I would pay for it so the dev can continue his hard work.

Definitely worth paying for. It was the first app I bought. Its far ahead of the standard adw. I also purchased adw ex, which is also worth the money. But if you had to choose just one to pay for I would def say Launcherpro plus.

Looks pretty good even in the free version, but just 3 home screens is not enough. If there is one thing to like about the Sense it is the 5 home screens. Is there any way get LP (or most other Android launchers for that matter) to go to 5 home screens?
The paid version allows up to 7 homescreens and 3 docks.
Press menu on homescreen click prefetences
Signatures are fancy.
Does the installation of Launcher Pro Plus remove ADW or can they coexist?
I saw a thread somewhere about using a switcher app to go between multiple launchers but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks

You can have both. Only one is active at a time though. There is an app on the market called home switcher that allows you choose a default launcher and still be able to change launchers on the fly without resetting defaults.

After using LPP, I realized I had no want to even use ADW anymore. I set LPP as my default and removed ADW from my phone with adb commands. I think it has improved the speed of LPP even more. Couldn't be happier.

is there a way to replace the launcher in CM7 before flashing? I decompress the zip and see ADWlauncher.apk...I assume I can rename the ADWlauncher EX apk and just swap it out and it will install ADW EX instead of the normal ADW, but how about LPP? Can I rename it to ADWlauncher.apk and re-compress the zip and it will install LPP as the default and only launcher?
thanks,
Mike
Yeah you can.
I'm not sure if the rename is required though, although I do it myself just to be on the safe side (too lazy to correct the file, transfer to phone again, flash again in case it doesn't work Lol)

thank you. I'm still debating between adw ex and LPP. the main think keeping me from launcher pro is the app drawer. two things I don't like about it are:
the background is black as opposed to the clear background of ADW, and the fact that in ADW I can have a horizontal drawer, and in LP, all you can have are vertical drawers
I think I read another post on this recently and someone tried to replace before flashing and had trouble. My best advice would be to flash CM7 as usual then install the launcher of your choice, set it as default, then use adb commands to uninstall the original launcher. This way works for sure.

When drag and dropping to replace the file in the .zip, just make sure you choose to "Store" instead of "Compress" in the Compression Mode chooser. I've never had problems by replacing files.
I always remove adw and replace it with launcher pro before flashing a rom. I do this with several apps. There is no need to rename anything unless you don't remove adw from your phone beforehand either manually with adb or with a full data wipe. If your just flashing over the top of your existing rom then the reason you want to rename the .apk is so it will replace the currently installed apk, otherwise you'll end up with both installed.
The reason I do this us because I use DT a2sd and I don't want my launcher on the sd card so I put it in /system/app before flashing.

Can someone tell me what the best launcher is to use? And does anyone know if someone is working on making a Galaxy Tab launcher? Because that'd be amazing!

Honestly Launchers are like cars, what works for me may not work for you... Personally I use, and love, ADW EX. That being said people swear by Launcher Pro.
Zeam has been great for me.
Sent from my HTC EVO using XDA App
I rather enjoy ADW myself. But I've got Zeam and LauncherPro that I use from time to time just for a change of pace.
I seem to be having trouble with shortccuts (adding) on launcherpro an dean,
I just get a quick black screen and then i'm dumped bcack to my main screen.
I do not have a crash. I uses autonooter to root my book.
Is it just a bad root and i should do it again from scratch?
Or is this a launcher/book issue?
Thanks
Robyn

Still trying to find the Launcher that allows a scrollable bottom dock bar, and/or the option to change the visual effects when swiping through home screens.
Anyone know which one I'm looking for

LauncherPro does both of these excellently. I highly recommend trying it.

I'm using awd ex, and I'm very happy with it. Recommend it for everyone. Prefer it over LP (used both alot)

ADW is the way to go. Always been happy with it...
I was using LauncherPro, then switched to ZEAM. However I recently revived an old OpenHome purchase for my old Behold 2. I dropped the Eris theme on to it and have not turned back. The bottom sliding drawer is a nice touch.
I hate the zeam app drawer. But it is the fastest one. I use adw ex
Nook Color via Xda App
I used to run Zeam, came pre-installed with one of the Auto-Nooter scripts or something, but recently switched to ADW. I use ADW EX on my Android phone and highly recommend like many otheres here (my girlfriend owns the Nook Color or would be running the EX version of it on the Nook too)
ADW EX ftw...
Hi. I'm running cm7 and really don't like all the application icons that are green(particularly the dialer and browser icons). Are there any icon sets where the icons are blue? I think cm6 had blue icons but Idk because I was on FR008 for 2.2. Thanks in advance.

If you search adw on the market you can get tons of themes that you can apply by going to settings- adw settings and apply theme or you can individually apply the icons to any by long pressing the icon and hitting edit then clicking the icons picture

I'm running Launcher Pro though. And I can't theme it. And I tried to extract icons from the theme using Astro File Manager but couldn't find the files.

If you go the general android forum under android themes there is a home screen topic where people share their icon packs sometimes

Launcher pros web site has threads dedicated to icons and docks for free. You can find icons all over the web. Theres also an app called Launcher pro icons. You can make any icon in the pack any color and there are a lot of custom icons in there. Its worth the couple bucks to buy it and always have customizable icons.
