For those that don't know, its a 3d based home replacement app. I'm having mixed thoughts about it. First of all, its $15 on the market but is rather cheap compared to its windows mobile predecessor. I like its features but hate the scrolling. Swipe sensitivity is sub par imo. Its got some good elements to it and adds to the android experience with the widgets, carousel screen previews and editing features but also takes as way from the android experience by not allowing the user to place the items anywhere on the screen. And it doesn't scroll through the home screens like android. More like an imitation android os if there is one. What do yall think?

It's ok, it's defensibility a different home replacement but with 5.0 it doesn't have an app drawer which is a huge set back in my opinion, I don't like to have to set up folders.
If you don't like AOSP/Sense it might be for you, but I don't think it's worth it and I have had ever since beta was leaked, and the official copy before android market... And when it takes off it will be priced way to high just as it was on WinMo.
I'm still using the last beta before the release (i tested all of the beta releases), and it has an app drawer. I personally love the home replacement, and was considering purchasing, but if they took out the app drawer then i wouldn't fork over $15, no way no how.

Yeah there is no app drawer in the release I have its just your screens (weather calender, clock on the left side, then your screens on the right, no way to access an app drawer. When you set up the screen only option it gives you is recycle bin and the bottom row to do a temp store but no true app drawer
Craziness. Ill just wait for someone to kang a clone for 5 bucks and better features.

You sure? The one I tried a few weeks ago didn't have an app drawer... or if it did I didn't keep it long enough to find out.
Definitely has an app drawer. Definitely has an app drawer. I think its sweet. Lacks a few things but I'm sure it will get updated and improved on.

Lol. Well the current one from the market has an app drawer. And yes. The pirated version won't stay installed unless you are rooted and using adb and firewall app. I admit to using it for trial purposes but I haven't rooted yet so it got disabled. But yea I think it's current state just doesn't appeal to me so much yet. They also lack a configurations menu. I just hope fede can come with features that can measure up with this. If he does I think it will give some satisfaction to all of us whom will not be getting sense3.0 on our devices. Lol. I'm rooting for fede tho.

It looks glitzy but I wouldn't pay $15 for it. I wouldn't pay $5 for it.
I had to sign up for beta testing using a dozen emails before the devs sent one of them an invitation. The earlier releases did not have an app drawer, and when i sent a feature request for it, the dev who emailed me back asked me if it were necessary since the home screens can be customized.

I'm taking ideas for new apps! I'm starting to develop for Android and am looking for ideas on apps to develop. What apps would you like to see developed?
A clone of the TW stock clock for CM7. I loved having an alarm clock with gentle alarms, stopwatch, and timer all in one app. I haven't found a suitable app that combines all three as elegantly as the stock clock did.
I haven't seen this option yet in file managers (if there already is please let me know), but I would like to see a batch file delete with a confirm delete option. That would be nice.

an app that tells you if your battery is calibrated correctly. Nothing like that out there. I know there is a battery calibrator app but not one that tells you if it is calibrated or uncalibrated I think that would be awesome! So you know after you flashed a rom or kernel or something else just pushed it out of wack.
Wifi calling like the T-mobile app.

I have to 3rd the request for a very basic clock app like the stock Fassy clock. All it would need is an Alarm, Timer, and Stopwatch.
An added bonus would be to somehow make it use the ASOP upper right clock notification instead of a proprietary icon that would have to be placed in the upper left.

I know there are multiple restore apps out there but I think there's room for improvement. I would like a backup and restore app that puts your phone back basically just like it was before you wiped. Especially home screen setups, also games and what not that you have spent hours, days, or weeks getting to where it is only to have it all go down the tube is pretty frustrating. I can't speak for others but I would easily pay 25 bucks for something like this.

Ah I thought for sure I'd finally find a working flip clock for my homescreen ... still a very nice app :>
Was just wondering whatelse can be modified or tweaked to get rid of the jitter in the blur launcher. It seems to only occur if you have more than 2 app drawers, and it only occurs one time when you change app drawers. The performance will be nice and smooth till you close the app drawer, and once you open it back up, same issue occurs. Is this something we possibly can correct via build prop? I have Max Events bumped up to 200 and don't notice a difference. Or is this just something we have to hope for motorola to fix? Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks .
Edit: forgot to mention it doesn't happen all the time.
I never noticed this. Can you post a vid of what you mean?
Maybe it will be fixed in the next OTA for the bionic.
I personally recommend using ADW Ex Launcher though.

When you open the blur home and have atleast 3 app drawers change drawers and there will be a stutter.

Yeah then you were talking about pages. I didn't know.
You should try using one of the one continuous scrolling options. So theres no pages, just one long scroll through your apps.
I don't think the blur launcher has that?

thanks. the only thing i dont like about the blur launcher is that goofy horizontal page scroll, I hate it! the only option is to use an aftermarket launcher, i use launcher pro. for me its the smothest and most customizable out there.
Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

I'm on sense right now, using xposed framework and sense 5 toolbox to get a 4.5 home screen. However, I also frequent nova launcher. It just depends on my mood, and I have them both installed pretty much all the time.

Big +1 for Action Launcher. It has a free trial(!) now, even, so there really isn't an excuse to at least give it a whack. It's not perfect for everyone, but if it you can handle its paradigm it works really well. Aviate's also good, but the inability to hide apps (among other things) really killed it for me.
Agreed
