[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milehighmeltdown:
LPP is my favorite, I have tried most launchers and LPP is the best. I like the customization of it, the swipe actions on the launcher doubles as a hidden launcher, you can hide the garbage in the app drawer, great for someone like me that is running stock gingerbread.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bupahs:
Tried them all and I still stay with ADW (ex) fast, stable and option packed. I liked GO at first but having to install everything I wanted separately is a pain and the last couple updates made it slow and power hungry.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
I was loyal to LPP for 3rd party launcher for a long time, but recently tried Go Launcher Ex after hearing/reading about it forever but being reluctact to switch. Though I'm now running VU's native Sense 3.0 launcher, Go is my new go-to (pun intented) 3rd party launcher. Does everything LPP does and better IMO. Plus it's free, whereas you have to pay for LPP's widgets and advanced features. I found Go to be much smoother too, and it has the support of a full team of devs whereas LPP seems to have stopped being updated a while ago.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
I usually prefer LPP for the included widgets and its blazing fast, but ADW EX does seem to have more customizable options and looks great. I have read some good reviews on the SPB Shell 3D and it looks really nice, but I just cant see myself spending $15 on a launcher...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keji13:
I personally like ADW so many customizable options and tons of themes you can never get bored with. Go Launcher is pretty good too i use go sms n theme make so it all compliments each other but above all id go with adw extremely smooth practically feels like a stock launcher :p
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royhobbs:
I am personally still exploring all of these. I wish there was an easy way to copy everything from the stock launcher (shortcuts, widgets, etc.) over to one of these new ones. Is there?

Anyways, I tried ADW first, but it has never really worked well, always lagged, frozen, etc. I think Go Launcher seems pretty nice, as does Launcher Pro, but I'm still exploring.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
in ADW and pretty much every other launcher, there is on option to increase the transition speeds of the homescreens and window animations. you can also download Spare Parts from the market and itll also improve the speed of the transitions. overclocking will help too :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoiD_Dweller:
Well thanks for the info on all of these, I ended up purchasing ADW Ex and I'm really digging it. I think it's kind of odd that you have to install a separate service to get the global notifications on the dock icons for gmail/sms counts unread but I guess that's o.k. Otherwise it's looking great..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bupahs:
Google changes gmail so often that a separate service for notifications just made sense since it must be updated so often.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excarnate:
Do you mean on the home pages? Launcher Pro has that.

I still use Launcher Pro (and paid for it). I've started using the 'swipe up on icons in dock to launch other programs', which is a neat feature, but don't like that it has to be FC'd on boot with CM7.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tristan6100:
LPP is smooth and has many options and SPB shell 3D is freaking awesome BUT, it sucks the life out of your battery like crazy (like horribly crazy).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
I agree with you on all but your last statement. There is absolutely no need to overclock and run your battery anY harder. In fact, I run Underclocked and my transition speed is actually better than most people running stock or otherwise.

I had used LPP for a long tiMe but use ADW EX now. I used LPP mainly for the widgets it offered. Now that Android Pro Widgets is in the Market there is no need for LPP.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
my bad, thanks for the clarification :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Yes the homescreen has endless scrolling feature.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xInfamousx:
I hate how the adw launcher looks with the four bulky squares for the app drawer. Is there a theme or anything I can apply to make itbl look like a normal gingerbread/nexus dock?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Braneless:
Delete ADW and switch to Go Launcher or Launcher Pro. I have never liked ADW, specifically because of its dock.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xInfamousx:
Can I just go into ssettings and delete it? I'm running decks rom right now

I'm on Viper rom 2.3.3 and it has video chat..
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
It is the built in Google talk video chat? I downloaded vtok from the market. It is better than qik.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toek_boer:
Hello all,

New at this.

Ive managed to disable my camera so I wanted to do a factory reset, so I might as well try a cool ROM. Ive gone for the cyanogenmod.

My device is a SGS I9000.

Ive followed this tutorial.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide

Done everything as described.

Ive gotten up to the step to download a ROM (cyanogen, normal, not nightly) with ROM Manager, and fire it up.

I got into clockwork recovery but I thought everything would be one click in ROM manager so I didnt do anything in there and clicked reboot.

After that I wanted to try the other way, so tried the other way, but I cant get myself into Clockwork Recovery anymore.

Then I tried to do things over again from the very start.

Ive tried this thread; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892910 to replicate the conditions under which I got into clockwork once. By redownloading the ROM, but after this I also got into the normal android recovery.

Well, Im kind of stuck on what to do now...

Could anyone help me out?

~tb.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamsatan:
You say that you can't get into Reovery. Could you please tell us what you do to get into recovery? Have you tried the "volume up"+"menu"+"lock" button combo? After you get into revovery, it's fairly simple to flash cyanogenmod.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toek_boer:
Thank you for responding iamsatan.

I only got into Clockwork Recovery once.

After this I always got the normal Recovery, whatever I did.

But I have solved it already.

I bricked my phone (true story), after that I used odin3 to reset my phone.

Next I did a factory reset and I walked through the whole guide again.

Now I did the steps the first time I got into Clockwork, so everything is fine now.

One of the advantage of the Touchwiz update is the browser. However i think the browser sucks after the touchwiz update. I don't think the browser is faster; in fact it takes longer time to load with flash content. The stock browser had no problem loading sites with drop-down menu and youtube on facebook was smooth and silky. Now with the new browser, everything is not as good!:mad:

I rather use the stock honeycomb!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
It will unroot your phone, and most rooting techniques won't work on newer Gingerbread releases.

However within a week or so of release you should expect a kernel to become available that injects root into the stock firmware, along with prerooted system packages.

Actually we might get lucky - our existing gingerbread kernels may work with the AT&T update firmware at least well enough to get a system dump.

It should also be possible to unpack the update package and analyze it, this was not possible with the Rogers release since that was original factory firmware we were trying to grab.

You can unroot your phone at any time by mounting the system r/w and then

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechDagan:
RE: root

You can root GB with revolutionary.io. I did two EVO 4Gs earlier today without problem. I'd recommend flashing a stock-ish Gingerbread ROM that's already rooted, though, like SprintLovers.

Here's the easiest way: Install ROM Manager from the app market and buy the premium upgrade. Using premium, you can download and install custom ROMs pretty damn easily. I also recommend using ROM Manager to back up the current ROM (to make it super easy to restore if you have a problem), then using Titanium Backup (free in the market) to backup all your apps. Then install the new ROM and wipe everything (check the two bottom choices in ROM Manager when you choose the ROM to install). After your new ROM is installed, re-install Titanium from the market and restore all your apps and their settings.

Just a heads up to whoever wants to do this. I haven't had the best experiences with the whole bounty thing. You have to contact each person manually (and sound like an asshole/debt collector) and have many people ignore you or deny paying altogether. If you're going to set up a bounty, let one trustworthy person hold the money or something.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I got used to Swype instantly. When I sold my Galaxy S I was worried because in those times, Swype had to come bundled with the phone. Now that it's an open beta I can use it anywhere... it really does a world of good.

[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Swype took very little time to get used to. At first, I was worried about highlighting all the correct letters and all that and started really slow. Once I learned to stop thinking about where the path for letters should be traced and just DID it, I was nailing all sorts of long words with far greater speed. I can Swype almost as fast as I type at a full-sized keyboard now.

Something like the touchpads being used for it - while not a bad idea - just wouldn't work out in practice.

I tried Swype but could not get used to it. Having said it I am totally for other types of keyboards to be modded to use touch pad instead of the screen.

Since SE gives you enough samplecode it shouldn't be this hard to get it in a basic working. OFC there will be much to tweak etc, but a Proof-of-Concept should be easy!

So go ahead and start coding ;)

Download eclipse and the sample project of Android Keyboard, then take some Tape and glue it all together with SE sources ;) -> Done :P
