[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Only thing I don't like about adw is that weird looking app drawer icon. Is there a way to make that look like the stock froyo/gingerbread icon?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Long press on it, select Edit, then click on the icon. It will let you replace it with any icon you want.

I ended up not liking the size and spacing of the doc icons, so eliminated it altogether and just used unlabeled icons on the bottom row.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
What services do u want me to look for?
[HTC Sensation] Unrivalled:
Adw is still much faster than Launcher pro IMHO.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Definitely is. I would say most of the people who say other wise are using the free version of ADW which doesn't have nearly as much optimization settings as the paid EX version. After tweaking with all of the little UI and behavior settings, ADW makes everything you do on your Sensation INSTANT! Trust me, go download it now. It will be your most used app:-)
[HTC Sensation] abtexas83:
Purchased adw, not as pretty but this is what my vision of dual core was. Insanely fast with out rooting or anything.
[HTC Sensation] saffant:
If we could get the widgets/look of HTC Sense + the speed and additional customization options of the 3rd party launchers (Launcher Pro in this case)... that would be incredible; or i guess a custom rom.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Nice, the paid version of ADW has so many more options than the free version. I have the paid version of LP and ADW and I've tried every other launcher available and by far without a doubt, the paid version of ADW is faster than anything else on the Sensation. Those who think LP is fast needs to break down and purchase ADW. When I say every aspect of the UI is instant, I mean its instant. It almost moves before you eveb touch the display. :-)
[HTC Sensation] dre-z:
I want to test this out :) I hope u aren't lying ^^

€: Only find the free Launcher in the Market?! Can u spell the name of the paid app? Is it ADW Launcher pro or something else?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I use the app Android System Info. Click on the Tasks tab. Under Settings select Sort, and select CPU Usage.

You'll see two processes at the top named "android.process.acore". They typically show 100% CPU usage. Sometimes they drop down into the 80% range, but are always very high.

This happens with both ADW and LauncherPro. As soon as I use Sense those processes drop to zero.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
ADW Launcher EX

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher&hl=en
[HTC Sensation] dre-z:
oO it's really amazing, thats want i expect of a dualcore, like someone said in this thread :)
[HTC Sensation] allyn274:
Been reading this thread and really intrigued by trying ADW. Can you please post your setting at some point? I know that would be a huge help for me. I've tried other launchers in the past on other phones, but always end up going back to Sense because I get overwhelmed by the choices of settings & I just don't know what's what that will give me a truly great experience.

Seeing the settings from someone who really knows what's up would be awesome.

Thanks!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Ill have the settings up by afternoon.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I just downloaded that app and with ADW EX running, I only see one of those processes running and it is using a big fat 0% CPU.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Thanks. I'll give EX a try and post any issues.

Edit: You're correct. CPU issue is fixed in ADW EX. Also, app drawer scrolling is very smooth. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Keep playing around with all of the settings. It will get faster. Ill post my settings later on. I also heard that the reason why ADW EX (the paid version) is so smooth is because it has hardware acceleration.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Who needs a ROM.

It's already instant response. But I'll play around and see it I can squeeze a few more nanoseconds out of the screen changes. ;)
[HTC Sensation] allyn274:
Just thought I'd make one more plea for help? Seeing someone's settings that they're using successfully would be awfully helpful!

Thanks again!
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Sorry man, I forgot about it. Anyway,here are the settings:

Presets - Fast

UI Setings:

Main Dock Style 5 icons

Screen Preferences Show desktop indicator but do not auto hide it.

Drawer Settings - Style is vertical 4D with full screen checked and snap scroll checked.

Hidden Dockbar - turn off

General Behavior:

Animation and effects : Infinite scroll checked

screen transition effect - normal scroll

Desktop scrolling speed - 70

Desktop Bounce - 0

Uncheck wallpaper scrolling and Sense previews

Uncheck everything in the application drawer behavior area.

System preferences uncheck everything except wallpaper hack

Opening transition - change it to default (Android managed)
[HTC Sensation] allyn274:
This is brilliant! Can't wait to try it. I'm such a dope (*insert face palm here*). I got so excited, I forgot we were talking about ADW - not LauncherPro. I'll get the right app downloaded tonight and give it a whirl.

Thanks for such great info in this thread!
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Remember, in order to get these settings you have to purchase ADW EX.
[HTC Sensation] choppstixx860:
I like launcher pro and used it on previous phones, but does it support qHD yet? that's the only thing throwing me off is my wallpapers look blown up...
[HTC Sensation] allyn274:
Yup - I'm on it now. :p I had actually purchased ADW EX once upon a time - i guess a while ago, but had uninstalled. So I'm gonna reinstall on my Sensation and give it a whirl! Thanks so much!
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Ive been using ADW Ex and it is faster than I can appreciate. I dont see a need for any ROMs. All I need is ADW EX, root (to kill bloatware and freeze sense), and a high end over/under clock method. Oh yea, and I rock solid ad blocker. (Angry birds needs to behave).

How much faster could CM7 be?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:
Go launcher Ex is just as good...........
[HTC Sensation] lordcloud1:
I'm using Zeam Launcher, and I like it a lot. Not super customizable, but customizable enough for me.
[HTC Sensation] allyn274:
Gave this a go last night. Yes - no question - it's definitely faster. However.... I kind of like some of the aspects of Sense. Eek. Can't believe I'm saying that. So I guess I need to play around with this more - ADW EX + maybe Beautiful Widgets or something? I really want the look of Sense with the SPEED you get from ADW EX!

Any thoughts?

Thanks everyone for sharing the info and especially @jrwingate6 for the specifics of the settings!!!
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Yup, use beautiful widgets and download one of the ADW Sense themes. It will change the icons and the dock bar.
[HTC Sensation] allyn274:
ADW Sense themes! Interesting. Does using a theme decrease the speed at all? Also, are there any themes or theme developers that you think are preferable?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Nah. I've never noticed a speed decrease when using themes although I just download a bunch of icon packs and change individual icons rather than applying entire themes. To change individual icons, just long press a icon then hit edit. In the edit screen, tap the icon and it will ask you which icon pack you want to use. Its extremely easy and awesome. I love making my icons match my background.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
ADW EX bug in 1.3.3 - some edited icon labels don't persist after a reboot. Have to manually re-edit each time. :(
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Still the best and fastest launcher for the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
That may be true. I have no other complaints about it. But editing icon labels is a very nice feature and it's unfortunate it's broken. Also, the comments have been turned off on the devs web site and it appears there's no way to report bugs. Not ideal for a paid product.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Adw ex,turn off sense, preset fast, normal transition, drawer 4d(gingerbread).....fast how it should be...way better than launcher pro imo...nice setup till cm7 is complete
[HTC Sensation] brandonkahn:
Are you guys removing sense/rosie launcher? Or just running adw over it?
[HTC Sensation] pancakemix:
Senseless rom 1.0 = fastest phone ever
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I wouldn't remove Sense. I would just freeze it with Bloat Freezer. It keeps it from starting and running in the back ground. Then move ADW launcher into your system folder.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Have you tried emailing him through the market?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
On the Market and only see a link to his web site. Been there and can't find an email addy. May be there somewhere but I don't see it.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Launcher pro hasn't been updated or had any new features added in months.

Sent from my Leedroid Sensational Htc Sensation!
[HTC Sensation] pwasad1:
I was using Launcher pro with ARHD and i thought i was a beast but i switched to ADW Launcher a couple days ago and now my sensi flies :). plus it seems like ADW is a little easier on my ram than Launcher pro was.
[HTC Sensation] Daman3456:
These settings are very snappy, I feel so much more productive with it set up like this.

Combined with a nice skin, I don't really have any need for a custom ROM anymore.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Ditto...I will apply CM7 when it comes out though due to the hype about it, but I dont see anything a ROM can do that stock ROM with ADW EX and some root tweaks cannot do better.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] ketpetje:
What' s wrong with sense? The only thing I dislike is the way you can tweak it (or better can't tweak it)
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
Nothing other than lag. I really like Sense 3.0 myself but can't stand the lag, so hopefully I'll figure out this whole rooting business and speed it up.
[HTC Sensation] GiZZy:
Personally im getting better perforamnce from Go Launcher EX rather than ADW
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
x2. i just tried Go Launcher EX and it was faster than ADW (though I was using the free version of ADW, so it's prob a moot point).
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
ADW EX is MUCH faster than the free version. I saw a lot of laggy stutter in the app drawer with free. It couldn't be snappier/smoother with EX. I prefer the Vertical New setting rather than 4D recommended above.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
You have to purchase ADW EX and use my settings. I have tried Go Launcher and it is faster than the free version of ADW but not the paid version with hardware acceleration.
[HTC Sensation] GiZZy:
Gotcha, didnt know ADW EX had hardware acceleration, i tired the free and couldnt stand the app drawer
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
Well, after reading this thread, I may have to try the paid ADW. But using Go Launcher and currently on P3D Neon 1.1ROM and using SetCpu I just posted some insane Quadrant scores. Not a big fan of benchmarks, but decided to see what it would show since I couldn't believe the smoothness I was seeing when I switched from the Sense launcher. I used to use LauncherPro paid app to way back with my Nexus one. Anyways, here's a couple of Quadrant screen shots and my SetCPU basic settings. I didn't push the CPU to the max, since I had a spontaneous reboot on the max setting, and that was enough for me to not bother with pushing the limits.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Paid version has like 6 different app drawers. When using the app drawer in the paid version, one little fling gets you to the bottom in a blink of an eye with no stutter.
[KIN Two Software Development] kintwofan:
I'm not sure why this works on the KIN (because it doesn't work on the wp7), but it does. The browser on the KIN supports the HTML5 cache manifest command, info here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_cache_manifest_in_HTML5). To prove this here is a working offline tetris game I have on my KIN (tetris.alexkessinger.net), the only problem is I can't actually play it because there are no arrow keys on the phone, but it is fully functioning (I get to watch the pieces fall).

So here is my idea... I see we do have developers in this forum so maybe they can try to either create some javascript webapps designed to run on the KIN that use the manifest to cache the needed files.

OR maybe we could use the cache manifest to cache an executable file and then have that filed executed through another website that gives the command to run it. I'm sure that is just wishful thinking and more than likely won't work, but I thought I would throw that out there.
[KIN Two Software Development] Marcellus1:
Nice suggestion, but unfortunately it will not work. Just because the game is available offline doesn't mean the browser supports the HTML5 cache manifest. Pretty well every browser that I know of does and always has had a cache to store some webpage files. The KIN browser is no different. The KIN is just storing the javascript from that webpage in the cache. The tetris game is not the type of web application the HTML5 cache manifest wiki describes. Furthermore, to cache anything from the KIN browser, the 'anything' must be supported by the browser--such as the javascript used to run the tetris game. Executable files are not supported by the KIN browser.
[KIN Two Software Development] kintwofan:
Thanks

Thanks for clearing that up for me, like I've said before I'm not a programmer (at least not in the last 10 years). However, this game is successfully cached and able to run hours after visiting the page. So maybe there is a way to duplicate it so that other javascript games can be made available to use offline. I just don't know how this game is caching the coding along with the images needed to run it. I thought it was the cache manifest because when I view the page source it says "<html manifest="tetris.manifest">".

Let me know your thoughts, I plan to try and duplicate it next week with a blackjack game, but I am in the middle of finals so I don't have time until the middle of next week. Also, like I said I'm not a programmer so I will be trying to reteach myself, so it's gonna take a while and probably not work.
[KIN Two Software Development] kintwofan:
I may have posted the wrong wiki link, but the cache manifest comand does work. Below is a link to a game, with needed images, that will cahe on the phone. it is available around 12 hours after opening it. So if you put it as an "app" it is almost the same thing. Just visit it before you leave wifi and youll be good until you are in wifi again.

http://192.168.1.22/webapps/bubbles/bubbles.html
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
It was a worthy try, man, but that link is to an address on your local network. Do you have someone on the internet we can access? Or can you port forward port 80 through your router, to that system, to allow external access?
[KIN Two Software Development] kintwofan:
It is a router problem. I tried to open port 80 last night, but it still is not working. I am going to play with it some and see if it is a firewall problem OR if I just messed up when setting up the port forwarding. Sorry, like I've said I am not an expert.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
It's a bad address, cause he's giving out the LAN address asigned by the router.

For you to be able to use it, you would need to be in his lan or in an VPN to his lan.

To real test what you got externaly, you need to give the external (to world) ip which is given by your own router admin panel, and/or websites like whatismyip.com.

then you need to do Nat from your external Ip to your local ip, specifying so in the router.

Or else, just share the website in a zip, and save time to do stuff like eat an ice cream, drink a soda/beer and have fun.
[KIN Two Software Development] kintwofan:
Thanks John

Thanks for the advice because this was my first time trying to make it available to everyone and clearly I couldn't do it. However, here is the file folder below. I have also done a couple of simple java apps that don't have any images (tic tac toe, blackjack, and the scientific calculator that was created by gsearle) I didn't include any of them because this bubbles one has images and shows the cache manifest works better. Also I don't have gsearle's permission so I wouldn't redistribute his work.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Inarius03:
I tried looking up my question, but with no luck. Sorry if this has been asked before.

I know that the HTC Evo 4G, Thunderbolt, and Inspire 4G are sister phones with some differences. I was wondering then if you could use the Evo's 1500 mAh battery in the Inspire.

Granted, it probably wouldn't have that big of a difference in battery life, and I am quite pleased with the battery life I get now, but I have been very curious about this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
Short answer is no. It will not fit.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] gicifix:
Hi, i'm here to ask you for help....

Yesterday i installed Void- forever (gingerbread), from Cyanogen Mod 7.0

Well, with CM7 the camera and the G-sensor worked perfectly, now, with Void, the camera doesn't work and the G-sensor does the same...

I installed void, then i installed void addons and Mansirawat kernel, when i opened the camera app, the screen turned white,but the terminal still work, even if i try to take videos...

And when i am in the home screen, if i turn the telephone right or left, nothing happens (i turned on the Sensor Based rotation from Zeam preferences)

So i formatte System/data/cache/ and i wiped everything, i reinstalled void - forever, reinstalled void-forever addons, changed kernel (I choosed the Franco's one), and it is the same....

I'm going crazy for this.... i don't know if my g-sensor and the camera are broken or something like....

Please, help me
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
wrong kernel maybe???

I don't know, i tried Franco and Mansirawat 's Ones, i don't know if they are wrong... i readed something about Netarchy....

If someone could tell me how to see if my G-sensor is stuck or how can i see if it is broken....

Thank you in advance
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gicifix:
solved

I solved, it seems that void cannot work with some kernels....

So i changed my rom in CM7 (from mk_os), flashed mironswat (i don't remember the name) kernel and it works perfectly, thank you =D

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300570883052&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Will i have any problems putting the UK stock on it? Or are the EU and US WIFI only tabs the same model number? hoping i haven't shot myself in the foot by ordering it through ebay.

Sorry if this has been asked / is a stupid question.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer23d:
The auction never mentioned P7510, but from the specification, it is 8.6mm, it has to be the P7510, which you can load any ROM on it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willow09:
I bought the 32GB US model from ebay and i've loaded the Euro Touchwiz ROM featured on here with no problems but went back to the Stock US ROM it came with. I have used both CWM recovery and ODIN3 methods and they work well. I found the Touchwiz ROM a bit buggy and slow but I heard that version was a BETA version so i'm waiting for the US release of the upgrade next week, hopefully it will be better.

It's released here in the UK next week so it might come with a version catered more for this region.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skid71:
I'm visually impaired

I've got my Cyanogen (7.0.3.1) modded Evo set up great for my low vision issue with one exception.

The android calendar app is great, I use it very much.

However it is extremely difficult for me to read

It is kind of a gray-ish font, on a white background (and the font size is hard for me to read as well)

Is there a way to make the background color black, and the font color white (and possibly the font size a bit bigger)?

With my bad eyes, I have really come to rely heavily on my Evo. I would sincerely appreciate some help with this if possible.

Have a good one.

[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
I just saw this;

http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-announces-q2-earnings-new-lte-data-deal-lightsquared

So if they are going to start rolling out LTE in 2012, will there have to be new phones made for that network? I assume that our Epics will not be able to connect to that.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
This was discussed before and our phones can support LTE via a software upgrade, supposedly.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
what nobody is talking about is that sprint hemmoraged money and customers this quarter too.
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
Well that's good to hear.
[Epic 4G General] jeffyv2:
But our.phones are EOL in october
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I hate to beat a dead horse but, the only LTE that our phones could support is 2500mhz (clearwire) lte. Even this, however, is unlikely.

Lightsquared will be using 1400 to 1600mhz for their network.
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
Hence the EOL
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
Does anyone know what phones they have now that will work?
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Within has like 3 chips in there. I don't know if anyone else noticed that in the schematic.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
The only smartphone that will work with network vision 800mhz cdma is the evo 3D.

None of the phones Sprint currently is selling are fcc approved to work on 1400-1600mhz lte.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Why didn't they just use their own 800 mhz for LTE instead of 1400 or 1600? I guess it's still better than 2500. Or are they going to use 800 and 1400 and 1600? I'm eligible for upgrade in March 2013. Do you think LTE will be out by then?
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
according to the article, it will start by 2012 and should be full go by 2014. I am sure by then they will have phones that support it.
