Problems with ADW launcher on ICS roms - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've got a problem with ADW ex. Scrollable Widgets aren't working for me.
The newest version of ADW on play doesn't have the "enable scrollable Widgets" option that previous versions had. I believe scrollable Widgets are just supposed to work out of the box.
I've tried using ADW with virtually every ICS rom that our wonderful devs have given us, from the alpha 2/3 aosp to the aokp Rom and cm9 bml and now mtd version.
I've also tried different LCD densities, locking orientation, re-sizing them etc etc. I don't know what else to try!
Any ideas/solutions would be really appreciated... I hope I'm just being an idiot and am missing something really simple... Has this even happened with anyone else?!
Thanks in advance for taking time to read this and hopefully help me out. (I always hit thanks too!)

Adw launcher or launcherpro beta? Whats your take?

I just cant decide which one is the best. I prefer the pinch preview feature that launcher pro has. Works almost like sense ui's, but I like everything else on adw. Mainly the docks and functionality tweaks in the preferences menu. Launcher pro is a bit more snappy, but the pinch preview has gotten me hooked. But the sense ui scroll bouncing is way way better on adw. It gels mute like sense when I scroll. which do you prefer?

I like them both alot .....been using ADW for quite sometime,,,,back when you had to flash it before it was in market ....but now that Launcher Pro allows you to modify the app launchers I am starting to like it more .....
but now i just keep them both installed
I been using adw since it was a flashable zip as well. I remember emailing anderweb about putting it on the market. Still a great app, but launcher pro has upped the ante on better functionality.

I really like launcher pro....I tried Adw but thought laucher pro was visually nicer and faster.
They are both great launchers, I have both installed but currently using ADW. I think, at this point, the scales are tipped toward ADW for me. But you really can't go wrong either way, both great devs and they work in cooperation with each other helping with each others work to make it better. How awesome is that?
Using ADW and haven't tried LP yet.

Well if that's the case, then they need to combine their apps and create the ultimate masterpiece. their pretty much very similar in many ways. The two seem like fragments of what the apps are supposed to be. They just need to bring the two together and form like voltron!! they'll take over the market together.

ADW on Ic3 Rom here and I love it. I tried launcher pro briefly but I really like the layout of adw better.
LP for me. All the icons I use most are included, phone contacts ect...

I downloaded LauncherPro last week and then I reset my phone and now I can't find in the market anymore.

The developer has acknowledged some kind of problem with the market. You can download the apk from his website. I cannot post links but it is
www dot launcherpro dot com
Awesome! Thanks dude!
launcher pro!!!
it even has the option to make it look like AWD launcher!!
hahaah.. pwnage
Im on the launcher pro bandwagon. Its much better performancE wise. The main thing I like about adw is that 6 icon retractable dock and the way it scrolls. Feels just like sense when you configure it properly. It lags a lil tho. Lp is a lil more reliable, although it had its lags in some areas as well.

Can't use LauncherPro b/c it requires Android 2.1 but ADW Launcher is great, and the latest version has the pinch-preview desktop switching now too.
Adw and launcher pro are now tied in my book.

Modifying the Stock Android Launcher

First of all, is this possiable? I have yet to find a difinitive answer.
If it is possiable, can someone point me in the right direction as far as getting started?
Basically I would like 7 home screens and a 5x5 grid. That's it. Not all the other nonsense with 3rd party launchers.

As far as I know it has not been done. Most people are going to tell you to use LP or ADWex.

more then likely someone will add an advanced launcher2 to their rom. kinda like the way TW added a modified touchwiz launcher in some of their roms. but as for now im using adw ex it works like a dream. if you dont want all the tweaks you can turn them off. its the best option while your waiting
I guess I'll just have to take the plunge and go with ADW.

It can be done. Paul @ Modaco made a mod for the GB stock launcher. Check Modaco gingerbread launcher in the market.

[Q] Launchers

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

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)

I personally prefer Zeam over ADW and launcher pro
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...

[Q] How do you change default launcher in Xron 2.9.1?

When I launched Xron 2.9.1 I chose to set the ICS launcher as my default. I would like to change it to ADW. How do I do it? I searched in the settings and found nothing.
Thanks
I love this new update Xron 2.9.1!
Go to Settings, application, manage applications, all applications, ICS Launcher, clear defaults.
Or download Launcher Switcher from the market
I suggest getting the launcher switcher, then you can try other launchers on the fly without going into settings and clearing the cache. I use it both on my phone and the TP.
TP is SPB 3D and ADW
Phone is SPB 3D and stock HTC

I don't understand why Leo put Ics launcher there. He is running a non overclock tp. My experience is very slow response on Ics. Can't stand it at all. I switch to go launcher since xron1. 3. Is it just me having that experience. I'm not complaining. Just don't understand..

ICS launcher ran fine for me, I don't think it's the best launcher around but no performance issues for me.

he has ICS launcher there to give people some ICS taste. many people loves to have launchers from upcoming Android versions. remember those GB launcher when GB was just released...now i think every android rom is using ICS launcher to atleast have a ICS touch....
I have used it for a while and never experience any issue with ICS launcher even tho I dont use it now...ADW launcher X all the way..

I don't think that's possible... and even if it is possible then it will obviously require a lot of modding and editing of God knows how many files.... :silly:
I love and use Nova; because its simply the best! (according to me)
Have you tried launchers like Apex Launcher, Nova Launcher, Holo Launcher, Buzz Launcher, Next Launcher, TSF Shell, Atom Launcher, Go Launcher, ADW Launcher or the Stock 4.2 browser??
(hope I get a thanks for this, because I seriously searched and typed all the popular launchers from Google Play )

Lol you didn't really help ME in particular but thanks for the reasearch you earned it man!
But to get back to the topic: custom launchers are the only way I guess. No one has discoverd this yet. But I think it can be done with a lot of file editing and modding.
I wish you very good luck haha

yeah dude, its embarrassing to ask for "thanks" without really helping
anyways getting back to topic, what is it that you hate in other launchers and like it in the TouchWiz launcher? I mean TouchWiz launcher is laggy sometimes (in transitions, page scrolling, etc.).. it is buggy sometimes (if you have an app in your external sd card, then after rebooting, the icon shifts its position to the end of the very last page).. etc.
On the other hand, custom launchers like Apex or Nova are really customizable; you can literally modify its settings to your preferences...
I've even uninstalled Touchwiz with Titanium Backup, after installed Nova!
