The only thing I dislike about the blur interface is the bottom stuff switching to adore me what screen I'm on. Any way to disable, or decrease the time it shows?
I know this sounds stupid but just to mention that if you hit a blank area on the screen it will start the minimizing animation of the bar immediately instead of waiting for it to time out.
Quite honestly you should try a different launcher. I like ADW.Launcher. Many others around like Launcher Pro. You will find much more customization and features with those Launchers.
The only "problem" I have found is that some of the blur widgets don't play nice with ADW. ie, If I use any of the Blur widgets, I can't resize them. However, I don't really like any of the blur widgets and don't use them.
I've used all those launchers. Open home, dxtop, launcher pro, adw. I actually like the original on this phone except for that home screen bar thing.
I don't see a problem with blur now that i got used to it. Its great. If you hit the wrong thing and the switch bar comes up you have to wait a little over a second? Don't be. Impatient.

Kind of defeats the purpose of buying 1ghz phones doesn't it?
Let's just go back to 200 Mhz Arm processors and be patient
Battery will last longer I'm sure.
Finally I saw the new ADWLauncher EX screen shot for honeycomb.
it looks really nice I think, has anyone tried it yet?
I'm gonna pay or the app soon, but don't you think 3$ is pretty much for a launcher!!?

Oh it's well worth the payment. I've been using ADWLauncher EX on my Xoom since launch day. It was always pretty good then, but now it got another update for Honeycomb tablets. (It had one before this latest update that came out a few months back for 3.1 tablets.)
It's fast, stable, and has very has many features to customize. I say 110% yes to ADW!
yes i have it on my xoom and looks very nice, doung some good tweks to get my new home screen setup. But hope some update can hide the logo ADW in the top to make ir more clean. Maybe a little expensive but it deserves.
See ya!
scrolling in scroll-able widgets (such as gmail/email/wizz ) is very lagging

With the latest update, the logo has been replaced with the app drawer icon. Much smaller than the Adw launcher icon was, and much more useful because it actually has a purpose. I don't use the upper left hand corner app drawer icon, as I have a different screen setup. So, I suppose I don't need that little icon there myself, though it hardly takes up any space.

Actually, you can disable all the of top bar buttons (including the icons) from within ADW.
Long Press Screen,
Select Launcher Actions,
Select Hide/Show Action Bar.
Then I just delete the added icon. More Screen Real Estate for the win!

Great tip! With the Notification bar remover app this is great.
it has a few quirks and you lose the cooler stock animations from honeycomb...still not a perfect replacement for me yet. Too phonish for me still...sure they have an expandable dock now, but everything else is textbook from what I can run on my phone. I'm holding out for something just for tabs.

yep, pretty slick! As well as the Notification bar gone I use Virutal Button Bar (Market) for any home, back etc. buttons I'm missing.

Oh yeah, I saw that a few days ago when the update came out. Forgot to mention that. I removed the top bar just now, and it's nice. I love ADW. I use it on both my phone and tablet alike!
More screen space equals more awesomeness!

OMG IT WORKS...this is the only reason i have stayed on version 1.2.2 on my xoom .
Nevermind, it comes back every time i reboot Going back to 1.2.2.
but, don't you guys think, the stock one is still better?
I'm happy with all the features it got, but I feel like I have more space to use in stock anyway.
+ I feel like scrolling between the pages is not so good.

Faster and nice you can use icon packs but stock animations are better hands down the adw animations just aren't as cool on a tablet

ADW has a screen adjustment setting. You can set the screen to a 10x10 grid. It has screen transition options as well to adjust. You might have to adjust the flick scroll settings or change the transition type for what works best for you. If you want full launcher customization... go with ADW, but if you do not want to fuss with the technical details I say to stay with the stock launcher all the way. It's a straight out of the box experience with nothing to set up or adjust.
ADW is not laggy or slow in the least bit. Maybe you need to try some adjustments/tweaks if you are going to use ADW. There are plenty of those found in the options. Stock launchers I feel have always been laggy, as they are just the basic core launcher with little or no options. The bare bones in most cases just to get you started, if you will. But, Google is always working on the launcher. Soon enough the default launcher will be excellent. It's getting much better for sure.
I would like if if you could put the bar at the bottom to the left.

thanks for help with settings, I think they help me like it somehow more than the stock.
I was probably the biggest skeptic on replacing my stock launcher, so i didnt. I still use it. I used this to supplement it. Its nowhere near a phone feel once you customize...just remove top bar and don't use app dock. The custom transitions bring a breath of fresh air to my xoom, and the 4d app scroll is friggin awesome. Make sure you adjust the speed on open/closing. I hate saying this, but trust me.
. Xoom being field tested in Iraq.
I´m officially impressed. Just bought it, along with HD widgets.
Does any1 have a working scrollable twitter widget ? On the SGS2 I use the twitter launcherpro native widget... with the Xoom I was using the Plume Twitter client Widget.
But sad thing, it appears that the plume widget won´t work at all with ADW
Now I don´t have a decent twitter widget (still looking for a news and facebook scrollable) widgets
In adw go into settings, general behavior, system preferences and change scrolling cache to low. Should help with scrolling Widgets.
Try android pro Widgets for Facebook or twitter Widgets.
I don't get how i did it, cause it was just showing the standard black background for the app drawer a few seconds ago, but now it shows my wallpaper even when i open the app drawer. Anyone kno how i did this, and how i can switch back. I like it the way it is, but in case i wanna change it back
I am using ADW, GingerVolt 2.0 and IceCreamKangwich Theme. The only change i made prior to it doing this was make it so the wallpaper wasn't scrollable anymore, but that had nothing to do with obviously.
I'm a dumbass, it was the transparency setting, somehow it got tweaked lol
Hi all!
For people with rooted phones.
Do any of you actually get a fullscreen wallpaper when soft keys are removed?
If so, what have you modified / apps installed?
I'm using Hide bottom bar ("Hide bar")
And tried with countless wallpaper apps, but to no avail.
1/3rd of the space previously occupied by the soft keys stays black.
You probably need to modify the framework for that.

Fullscreen Toggle (here from XDA) + Nova Launcher. Hidden Notification.
Works like it should
By god must I have been blind?!
I have been to that thread where the .apk is before.
Well, guess I need to be spoonfed things once in a while.
This solved it!
The "Hide Bottom Bar" also removed the status bar completely, not making it possible to hide/show with any launcher.
Now this is possible again with the use of launcher.
Also the whole screen is now covered by the wallpaper, which is the most important thing.:laugh:
Ok I've got BlinkFeed as home screen, and all of a sudden the weather widget icon disappeared... The clock is there,but no weather.... I've tried clearing cache and data, I completely disabled closed, IT EVEN BOTHERED ME SO MUCH I RESTORED A NANDROID AND IT'S STILL DOING IT! Anybody else ever have this problem??
Forgot to add, I'm stock Rom rooted Verizon 4.4.3, s-off bootloader unlocked.. This is really driving me nuts for some reason
Nobody?? This is so frustrating... I completely nandroided back 2 stock, it was working set everything back up, was still working, n just now it went out again... No sense related Xposed mods running, NOTHING that should cause this...

to have clock and weather displayed on the blinkfeed screen you must have set blinkfeed as default page like you did. If the weather icon disappear, I think its because weather data are not available for some reason.
Is the weather icon working good if the widget is on another screen?

Yeah It always works good on the actual widgets, it's weird, it was there when I woke up this morning... It seems to only do it at night when it's the moon animation n the weather says clear... I always have BlinkFeed set as home screen, n when the icon disappeared, I can make it reappear If I switch the home screen to a regular launcher page n then set it back to BlinkFeed, but occasionally it just disappears again.. it's weird but oh well I'll just learn to deal with it. I'm just really OCD about my phone n get irritated as [email protected]*% when things screw up

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever figure anything out on this? I just had this happen and can't figure out why. The weather icon on my lockscreen disappeared (time is still there). The widget on my homescreen is fine and shows both time and weather icon. Not a huge deal, but I'm OCD too, so it's going to bug me....

As a matter of fact I did. It only happens when the weather icon is the half moon, if u look at it's animation, it SPINS AROUND, and at some point it spins to where u can't c it, but can fix or reset by going to edit home screen pages, and then set a different page (NOT BLINKFEED ARTICLE PAGES) AS home screen, n then change home screen back to BLINKFEED, and the animation will restart
