I use Launcher 7 myself. I love it and the free version is more than enough.
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
ADW Launcher EX for me. Launcher Pro was fine when using my Magic because it's the fastest one but with my HD2 now, ADW Launcher EX is super smooth and more up-to-date. Waiting for the Launcher Pro rewrite though.

I think you really need to expand the poll choices though. There are not THAT many launchers out there and only offering two real options makes the poll quite pointless. What about Go Launcher EX, Open Home, Slidescreen, Regina, SPB Mobile Shell, Zeam Launcher, Launcher 7, etc. ?

I mean, if you take the time to create a poll, make a decent one. You won't get any interesting info out of this...;)
[Android Apps and Games] MaScXDA:
I vote for Go launcher EX. It has all features i need:

- resizeable widgets

- you can create folders on your homescreen to group apps/games

- it is fast

- you can create shortcuts (e.g. navi-destinations)

- it's free

Give it a try! I needs some time to customize, but not more than other launchers.
[Android Apps and Games] affmalg:
Go Launcher EX - easy question :)
[Android Apps and Games] dimqs153:
I vote for sense launcher :D
[Android Apps and Games] madquack:
Zeam all the way.
[Android Apps and Games] Evernothing:
LauncherPro

Custom Icons.

Custom shortcuts launch X and do Y.

Homescreen animations / 3D app drawer.

Multiple docks.

Swipe actions on dock button.
[Android Apps and Games] NeatBee:
I use Zeam on my Hero and Vega, it's super slick, has resizeable Widgets, and is free :D
[Android Apps and Games] TeK9samurai:
The SPB Shell 3D is really nice but I do not know how it is on resources.
[Android Apps and Games] Sab3elbromba:
HTC Sense !
[Android Apps and Games] mohitrocks:
I would say launcher pro plus because now there are themes for each widget, so its fully customizable. But I would only say this if you are a heavy facebook, gmail or twitter reader.
[Android Apps and Games] derekgabs:
Hm.. im using launcher pro.. since it is pretty much easy to change the icon other than ADW

But im not saying adw isn't good.. i just seem to be organized in LauncherPro.

PS: one thing though when i used the 3d drawer of ADW it has a bit of lag while in launcherpro it didn't so i kinda like launcherpro..
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Is there some way to have 3 docks in ADW that allows me to put in more icons at the bottom like in LPP? Alternatively can I lock my desktop in LPP as in ADW?

Why does a software always have to be incomplete in one aspect or the other? :(
[Android Apps and Games] awsrasool:
i love the options in ADW but for some reason it's always laggy on my phone (desireZ) even if i overclock it to max freq... and by lag i mean when moving between home screens -> slow response....

i also tried Launcher 7... but seriously why would u put a windows look alike on an ANDROID (clearly got a thing against microsoft lol)...

the best that has worked for me is launcherPro plus... it's snappy and got enough customization options without it being bloated like adw launcherEX...

just my 3 cents :P
[Android Apps and Games] JohnstonF:
Go launcher ex...fast lots of options including docks, and the loop mode for both docks and home screens actually loop properly unlike LPP, which looks like it went spastic...Golauncher ex is more more customizable than ADW/LPP together...

GoLauncher + 1
[Android Apps and Games] AA1973:
Zeam.

Quick,fast, stable and lightweight-just what I personally need on this ("undermotorized") phone... :-)
[Android Apps and Games] dravenkill:
i prefer to have clean home screen with no apps icon. only widgets on my home screens. so i rely on apps drawer to open my apps. no launcher can provide better apps drawer other than Go Launcher Ex. besides, Go Launcer Ex is freakingly smooth.
[Android Apps and Games] Hatshipuh:
Go Launcher.

I like the horizontal App Drawer, couldn't find customizable order on other Launchers either.
[Android Apps and Games] VegasEvo4G:
We are talking about a few bucks here... try them both. They are both outstanding apps and each one has its pros (and very few cons). Also, GO launcher deserves a mention. It offers just as many outstanding features, and it is FREE. I switch between the 3 regularly. Keeps things fresh!
[Android Apps and Games] pendevous:
Not to mention implementing folders inside the app drawer. I still prefer the no-frills Zeam, though. Is the Launcher 7 working well on the Galaxy Tab? Would want to give it a try if ever.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
I'm not an expert by any means, but I have aquired the launcher from the Sidekick 4G. It is labeled "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk", same as ours. Now, I can't install it. Not rooted. It tries to replace our stock twlauncher. I assume the reason i can't install it is cause it needs the framework from the sidekick 4g. Lemme know how it works. I tried it once and it couldnt parse package, then i redownloaded it, and it worked fine(except it didnt install of course lol)

Have you tried renaming it? Worth a shot, amirite? :P

Probably wouldn't work though.

If you were rooted though, you could probably just rename the app and push it to the system/app section via Root Explorer.

If it's that easy, I'd love to see how everything goes for others.

these are actually better than they look

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....94602&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1628wt_1139

the sides are in two halves and slide apart meaning you can configure it how you like. It has foldaway bottom rests and turns 360 so you can have the phone landscape or portrait. Its actually one of the best ive had in a few years and most certainly the cheapest
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shark996:
Hi,

a good car mount for Arc maybe is Tetrax: (www . tetrax . com)

The problem is that you must paste a metal circle on the backcover :(

But is the best solution because you can touch and rotate the "Arc" in every position.

I like that too.. but I want to know if the phone still fit if you have a skin case on the phone. Because the mount looks like a perfect fit on the phone it self.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dazza2910:
I got one of these for my HTC Touch HD and it works just as well for my Arc. The width is adjustable to it can clamp the phone snuggly. And it has additional legs as support that rest against the dashboard. Worked great until I got my new company car. It has stupid modern weird shaped vents that it doesn't hook onto. Not without getting in the way of the indicator stalk anyway.

Should work fine for most cars with normal air vents though.

Brodit just released a passive and active support (http://www.brodit.com/?lang=E). See links at The bottom of brodit webpage.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silasdm:
The mount is some type of hard rubber, so it is possible to let it hold an arc with a skin case. It is usable, but can't say it's a perfect fit ;-)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esspee_London:
Brodit mounts

I've just checked Holder and Mounts and Brodit mounts are listed and seems to be available to buy in the UK.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beready:
The Brodit ones are good but you need first the clip for you car only and then buy the holder for the phone.

I used mostly the pasive holder and if you put in landscape and you take a sharp turn your phone can be flying (HTC diamond2). With my Nokia E65 back then the passive holder seem to be very fit so I had to put in hard and you could get some scratches on the sides ...

I think the active holder seems a better fit and keep your phone safe in landscape, but dont know for sure it seems better attached but also more expensive.

Just my two cents but overall I think Brodit doing a good job but when you buying new phones all the time it can get expensive too if you have to replace the holder everytime.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pato_bato:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esspee_London:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryankan1:
I use this one by Nokia. Fits PERFECTLY, SECURELY and best part of it is that it is tiny and refined compared to the rest of the eBay ones which is huge and ugly :)

Been using it since Nokia E71, E72, HTC Legend and surprisingly, it fits the Arc the best :)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThDoctor:
I received my G Tab today. I updated to 3588 and everything seems to have gone well. I went to the Viewsonic Web page and download the "Flash" and it seems to play Flash on web sites. However, the YouTube app does not work.

1. I get the YouTube page but when I click on a video, I get the message that the video will not play. Is there a way to fix this.

2. Even though it says that it should play mp4 videos, it won't. I downloaded the QQ Player to my computer and then transferred it to the G Tablet and installed it. I can see it, but it can't see the SD2 card where the videos are. The QQ Player does play these on another android device.

3. Is there a way to get a working Android Market without flashing a different ROM. I have read about different ROM's on this site. Boy do you have a lot of information. The problem to me is that after the instructions, there are many pages of problems and soft bricked devices. On the VEGAn ROM i think I read over 800 entries. So I am a little worried about changing the ROM. It seems that with any ROM there are problems. Everything I need seems to work except the above.

Thank you for your time and attention.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madiom:
It can be scary to take the leap, but once you put a new rom on you wont regret it. All of the softbricks are not as bad as it may sound to you. Thats why they call it "soft " brick. Since you mention video playback you probably want to stick with a froyo rom.

The only other option is to use a different alternate market (amazon) . It has a good amount of apps but still not the same as full market.

[Fascinate General] af1975:
Hey Everybody, I have been having problems connecting my wife's Fascinate to any of the 3 pc's in our home and was ready to throw it out the window. I had tried everything from installing new drivers, usb debugging etc but nothing seemed to work for me. The phone would charge but would not connect to the pc. There is a small tab inside of the USB port that is very fragile and can be bent easily. I gently bent the tab towards the center of the USB port and after two weeks of frustration, the phone connected and mounted the SD card and I am now running superclean rom. Not sure if this is a fix for every case but it's something to try if you have tried everything else.

Ok why would ho player require access "service that cost you money" directly call numbers

Kind of shady because it has ads also even with adfree working
[Nexus S Android Development] adwinp:
That, AND the fact that this app loads a module into your kernel.

With ring0/kernel access, you don't even need to bother with root and android permissions in order to get unrestricted access to the device.

If you want to use this app, try using it in airplane mode (then again, there's no telling if data isn't collected and sent when net connectivity is restored).

You can monitor active connections with netstat, and open files via lsof.

Why would the developer package "codecs" into a kernel module instead of a standard shared object library?

Do note that libhoplayer_core and libhoplayer_interface ARE in shared lib. format; only hodev is loaded as the module.

Very shady indeed.

I dont see the point of using a player from the market - when we can do the same on other ROMs using players like Moboplayer etc.
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
you're not getting it

those players are software decoded and what they can do with hardware is limited to what the OS has for codecs.

This ROM has more hardware codecs than normal 2.3** but in order to get them you need to use his player also its tied into the system to take advantage of the hardware codecs he implemented into the ROM those players still wont play what this one can with hardware

now with that said i dont trust this ROM/Video player
[Nexus S Android Development] MaXAiRO:
iamxeph, could you contact the developer and ask him if it's possible to make a zip with just the files which need to be replaced and not the whole ROM + Ho enhancement? One zip for stock and one zip for latest stable CM7. That would be the best solution if it's possible.
