I keep getting a news feeds on top of each other when I use it with ADW EX launcher.
I got a response from the developer. This app does not support alternative launchers like ADW (yet?)
Its working great for me with the stock launcher.

If I had to guess, if you are using it on a 2.x device like a phone you need ADW or launcher pro. On a 3.0 device you need to use the stock launcher.
new update just got released supposed to work now with all launchers.

Yes it solved my problem. Works great now. Still a small bug when adjusting the settings of an existing widget but not a show stopper. I must say, I emailed the developer about the problem and was amazed at how fast he got back to me and fixed the issue.

You have to be running Dell Stage as the launcher to use any of the widgets. The Stage launcher is the first APK attached to the OP.

Phone icon not working and facebook login not working are known issues. This is a slick UI though. I'm going to look and see if there is a way to disable some of the screens, I currently don't see a way.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
u can disable the screens by just draggin the screen to the trash like any other widget... theyre are just really big widgets haha

does it require terminal emulator or just regular apk installs through installer......?
just regular installer
for the phone app you have to replace it or rename it to phone.apk coz if ur phone apk is like lets say samsungphone.apk the luncher doesnt recognize it. but idk how to do this and this is mentioned in the original post. if someone figures out how to replace the phone.apk on a custom rom without screwing things up ill give em a hug! lol
This is, I know, much a personal taste of choise... But I find LPP a bit laggy, adwEX lags etc. Can't understand why it would, but that's just how I feel.
However I like the app drawer speed with the LG-home - no lag whatsoever!
So...
What launcher do you use, and why?
Im using Launcher Pro right now but im trying Go Launcher (EX) and it's feels faster, but i'm missing the facebook widget the LPP offers
Launcher Pro Plus has always been one of my favorites. Clean, fast and functional.
Right now I was trying out the spb launcher and it looks crazily stunning
I'm fan of ADW EX, it has everything I want from a launcher app
I've used the lpp for some hours and the lag is somehow gone
going to check out go and spb too

Im using the LG Home, I really like the drawer. I used LauncherPro on my X10 mini pro, but I don't see a reason to switch atm.
I personally li LPP..... one because of the brilliant widgets it offers, the option to resize widgets, adding more rows to the screens and i love the 3d drawer

He's probably in the beta, which i signed up for as well, hope that i get in.
And on topic: I'm using the stock launcher because it works just fine for me, i don't see a need to change it yet
I'm using the launcher from se arc. speedy beautiful and a bit animated when moving or deleting stuff.
Using the Launcher Pro and I really like it, it's fast and clean and I havent noticed any lag whatsoever.
LPP, the LG home lags switching between homescreens.

hey all,
I am running the tiamat hammerhead rom... I like it but right now there are not too many great themes for the xoom. A few color changing ones and the touchwiz port which i did like, but im down for something more. The best way to go about this short of doing my own theme is to get a good home launcher and use some custom animations and icon packs...
Here is the rub.. A lot of the home launchers are too phone-ish.. If that makes sense. Any suggestions? I was partial to ADW ex launcher but i looove the stock launching set-up. I mostly would like to maybe change animations, speeds, etc, but most importantly use icon packs. Any ideas for me or suggestions on good launchers with a stock home screen feel? I dont want my xoom to have a home screen like a giant phone lol
I just stick to stock until someone makes a launcher for honeycomb

Lol i guess that will be the case. No one has any advice...
I would recommend ADW EX, but since it hasn't been updated in 3 months and isn't fully compatible with 3.2...
Yeah adw ex doesn't work well with 3.2 at the moment. I believe the older adw (non ex) works but u gotta find an .apk for that

Not true, imo, ADW EX works great, so smooth with my config and I like having 6 screens. ADW settings is mostly disabled, meaning I can't change the size of icons, basically. But everything else works really well.

Yeah thy made a 3.2 compatible version today... Still not all the way there in my opinion and quirky as anderweb releases tend to be at first until they find all the bugs. Props to them for the effort but i am still not sold. Gonna have to just try the stargate theme coming out soon! Which looks badass!
so I just got the update today and I'm very happy. However, I can't get LP to work on ICS. It closes everytime I try to select it and I get the msg "unfortunately, LP has stopped." Anyone experience this problem?
Its just not compatible with ics and no info on if it ever will be since the dev hasn't updated it in ages.

Go Launcher EX > Launcher Pro... By miles..
Haven't had any issues. In fact, I went back to using LP instead of ADW Ex because the latest ADW Ex update jacked up the dock and the older version has a dumb looking bar at the top of the screen, probably some weird honeycomb code. Even though LP hasn't been updated in 7 months, it's still working fine for me on ICS.
Just downloaded Go Launcher, thanks. I've been stuck on LP for so long bc of the widgets. Haven't customized my Nexus ina loooong time but ever since I got ICS, it feels like I have a new phone to mess around with lol.

If you want something similar to LP's widgets to use with Go Launcher check out APW. Free and Paid version. Or use GoWidgets.. Solid widget set though. - https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yZHIud2lkZ2V0cy5jb3JlIl0.
I also used Launcher Pro Plus on GB stock rom.
Actually on ICS is stock launcher the best - and instead of LPP widgets you can use "Android Pro Widgets" free on market (looks exactly like from LPP)
Launcher Pro will crash on ICS if you use the calendar widget. It should work fine if you don't use that widget - that worked for me.

+1 no doubt about it
I use ADW EX it works great plus its been updated for ICS compatibility.. any launcher>LP lol
On Gingerbread, Launcher Pro is still the best and smoothest launcher. I really hope that Fede has been working on re-writing the whole app and making it compatible for ICS.

To make the top row useable, limit the number of homescreens, custom number of rows and columns on homescreen, resizable icons, fully resizable widgets, etc.
Go launcher is the worst.

Because all of the android stock launchers are freaking butt ugly. Especially the ICS version. It's no wonder why htc uses sense and Samsung touchwiz. Because if they tried to sell phones with stock android launchers they wouldn't sell many phones. Believe it out not, most of the phone buying world feels this way. For the most part,only the hardcore android fan boys like the stock launcher.

Just use Nova launcher -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071
based on ICS stock launcher + lot of features (Docks, Grid,...etc) and Uber fast.
PS: And works when GPU rendering is on while GO launcher got artefacts/Gfx bugs.

Why fix it if it ain't broke? Compared to the latest versions of ADW Launcher EX and GoLauncher EX, LauncherPro runs way smoother and lag-free on my gf's G2 with GB 2.3.4 and my Nook Color with GB 2.3.7.

It cannot even change page order now, and the re-build was said last year and what we get now? Not even a word about it.
I know we cannot demand anything from a dev so I just switched to another launcher
Now that ICS has come to the Xoom, has anyone tried installing Nova Launcher on it? Any issues to be aware of before trying it?
I really like it on my GNex and want to use it for both devices, if possible.

I think you're kinda wrong, at least for Nova. If you look in the settings for Nova, there are settings for a Dock. And when shown on other devices (Galaxy Nexus from what I've seen) there is a dock.
their is a dock just play round with it, will appear

Can you be more descriptive? Have you gotten the dock to show on the Xoom?
Beta 13
Home screen transition animations => stack
Starts messing up the ability to use icons on the screen... clicking on icons makes the launcher think you are trying to turn pages...
"cube" works well...
Great launcher... looking forward to tablet specific and "pro" options...
Didn't work for me!!(nova)

I had a few minor problems with mine when I tried on cm9 it was like the apps became part of the background and would not move but I deleted and re installed without an issue. I prefer the stock cm9 just fine I only run it at 1.2 compared to the usual 1.5 its so smooth.
