I always use ADW EX for all my android devices. I wouldn't think to use anything else :D

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

In ADW settings, go to Themes and download new themes. Most thems come with icon packs. If you just want to use the icons and not the entire theme, instead of loading the entire theme, use the Icons dropdown menu and select the theme you want to use icons from. (This will keep your current theme but replace the icons with those of the theme you choose)

On the GT, there is a pencil-looking icon at the top of your home screen somewhere. Press that to access screen editing features.

While in this edit menu...

-The home button up top makes the current screen your default home screen

-The X at the bottom deletes the screen and all its contents

-The + at the top left adds a screen to the left of the current screen

-The + at the top right adds a screen to the right of the current screen

-The arrows on the bottom left moves the contents of the current screen to the screen to the left

-The arrows on the bottom right move the contents of the current screen to the screen to the right

(On phones, instead of the pencil button up top, press the Menu button and choose "Edit")

what i don't like about the adw lauchner, is that the icons are too small for my taste!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tivo7:
ADW Settings > UI Settings > Icons > Density Hack
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
Or Icons > New Icons > Icons Size :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tivo7:
Yeah that works too.

And its New Icons Settings, not New Icons. Haha. :P

New Icons just checks if you want to use the new icon settings or not :D

Really love ADWLauncher EX. Its blazing fast and have a lot of settings to customize.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] biggiestuff:
When i put gallery photos on one of my screens and rotate it, it always goes to the 1st home screen. Anyway to stop it from doing that?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Thor S:
Insane many things you can customize - even when you aren't rooted it can do a lot of stuff.

@ ALL

So far I have made my screens as I want, removed some screens (thx guys!) and resized some of the icons.

BUT! When I push "Home Button" it quits ADW launcher and go back to Touchwiz. I have tried to configurate it in the menu, but cant really find the answer.

Instead my home button direct me out of ADW, I would like a smaller icon or something so I can fully use my home button.

Besides this, it isnt that much faster then touchwiz even though I'm not filling the screen up with that much. 4 screen with different wallpapers and mostly shortcuts, not widgets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Pito2k6:
I believe you have to clear the default settings from Launcher under applications.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tivo7:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > "All" tab > *Find the app your home button directs you to (Probably "Launcher")* > Find "Launch by default" and press "Clear Defaults"

Then press your home key and it should ask you what you want to complete the action usin. Check "Use by default for this action" and press ADW.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Thor S:
Unfortunately this deleted all my setting etc. I read it, but did and hoped it wouldnt completely erase all my screens. For some reason it didnt solve the problem with the home button, it still send me directly to Touchwiz.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tivo7:
That means you hit the "Clear Data" button instead of the "Clear Defaults" button.

You need to find the "Launcher App" and Press "Clear Defaults".

Then if you have ADW installed, when you press the home button, it will ask you what you want to associate it with.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Thor S:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tivo7:
Yeah just mess around with the cropping until you get it how you want it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Stardate Tab 10.1:
I love adw ex. I couldn't decide which one to get so I bought both launcher pro and adw ex back in early July. I like the dock on launcher pro as it is perfect on the side in landscape for using your thumb. But once adw ex updated I haven't looked back. Love swiping the hidden dock, would love it even more if I could put the hidden dock on the side in landscape. There is no comparison between adw and the stock launcher. I don't think I could go back. The only thing I miss from stock is the adding widgets menu.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] millemots:
Sort of related question: in the App Market, on the page for ADW Launcher EX, there is a weather widget shown in one of the screenshots. Just plain text, mostly, and I've seen it in other people's screen shots. What widget is that?!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tivo7:
The 33'C one?

That looks like something you can do with "Minimalistic Text".
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] millemots:
Yes, the 33'C one. Hadn't ever heard of Minimalistic Text, but dang that looks cool! Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tivo7:
I only knew that because it was on the top of my mind. I was literally messing around with Minimalistic Text all night last night.

The weather/clock widget I use is Beautiful Widgets (with a completely transparent background)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ace81:
Guys,

I recently installed ADWLauncher Ex, and I'm loving the sleek smooth transitions.

However, I'm having a problem when changing from Landscape to Portrait modes.

Widgets do not seem to auto-adjust correctly as shown in these two images.

Is there an easy way to solve this? Anyone else facing such issues?

P.S: On my 16G P7500, I'm using ADW v 1.3.3.56 and Android 3.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sudhirkhanger:
Yes. Afaik their is no solution.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ace81:
I installed other Beautiful Widgets and HD widgets and both work like a charm with ADWLauncher Ex.

I recommend this workaround if possible.

Another observation: Social Hub widget is not responsive to touch when used with ADWLauncher Ex.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] siscopiso:
Yeah ADW Launcher EX gets a bit unresposive to touch. Its kinda apparent with email and gmail widget.

Which makes me to go back to the default launcher even though adw is much smoother.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] komorka:
Love ADW Ex...

Does anyone know the resolution of the dock bar images? Some of the themes for phones look autrocious on the tab! I'd like to create my own. Thanks!

I personally like the stock launcher its really fast for me on the rom I use the only thing I wish the stock launcher had was a full screen use mode it sucks that it loses so much space on the sides

[Defy General] brajesh.sharma87:
Hey guyz i m from india. I got my defy some days ago. I have sum problem with touchscreen, it gets pressed automatically sometimes. I just wanna try cm7. If the problem is there with the software version then flashing the cm7 will solve my problem else i will return back to froyo 2.2.2 and give it to service center for repair.

Tell me the process of installing cm7. (skip guiding abt rooting and installing 2nd init, i will do it myself.)

Remember i will need to come back to stock version so tell this procedure too. (must for me).

I came from samsung galaxy3. Flashing everthing was so easy there. I m a noob at defy but not at android. :P

Note: I have the firmware version 2.2.2 and the build no. is JEM_3.4.3-36-1.7
[Defy General] joaquin.mik:
Installing CM7 its easy, just have to drop gapps and CM7 to the SD card, and install them from the Recovery menu (clearing caches and user data before). Be sure to make the proper backups, there are easy to follow guides about installing CM7 and restoring to stock on the forum.
[Defy General] [] AL []:
So have you tried CM7 yet and is your display alright?

If you're still on Froyo, what you should do first is access the stable custom recovery from 2ndinit (volume down at blue led) and make a Froyo backup. Then reboot once more before again go in custom recovery to install CM7.

The nandroid backup is your safety net to return back to Froyo before warranty repair [unless you can easilly find your original full sbf...but still do the backup!!].

The switch back will require a fixed sbf file for that nand which is easy to do after a bit of reading on it. But don't worry; as long as you keep the backup safe, you can worry about that later and go ahead with CM7.

Good luck and enjoy your Defy.
[Defy General] [] AL []:
Oups! I forgot to also mention: yes the FAQ link on CM7's OP should have all the info to guide you through all this.
[General Questions and Answers] Ethan5150:
Ok, well I've read every thread I can find and have attempted many things to get this resolved with no luck. I have a G2X which I made a full backup of using CWMod before sending it back to LG for repair. It came back with 2.3.3 (I had 2.2 before). Now, I can't root because the Super One Click doesn't work and I can't get CWMod to work to enable me to restore the old ROM (or one of the new rooted ones provided here on XDA for just this purpose). When I reboot the phone with the power and volume-down buttons held, it boots into the "new phone" mode, not a recovery console that I was expecting so I could restore from ROM. So how do I restore from ROM when the CWMod doesn't run properly (because it needs root privileges)? I really just want to drop that 2.2 ROM back on my phone with all my apps, saved stuff, etc. Help anyone?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theninjaway:
Hey guys,

I was just wondering if it was possible to reset the unlock pin, I understand it brings a little forgot pattern thing up if you use an unlock pattern, however it doesn't do this if you use a PIN afaik. I changed my pin because my little brother had figured it out and I didn't want him to screw around with it, but then forgot it when I tried to get into it later. Panicked for a while and then managed to get in with the bypass lock screen app in the marketplace. Before that I had tried entering the wrong pin like 80 times in hopes it would let me enter my google account or ask for a PUK. Unfortunately it didnt so I gave up and tried like 70 different combinations of what I thought it would've been. Now I've also used that disable lock screen app from the market to make sure I dont get locked out of it again, however I was wondering if it's possible to now reset the pin now I'm into the phone. If i can I'd like to change it to a pattern so I don't end up in this predicament again, I assume I have to factory reset, and if so is there a way to do a complete backup that includes everything except say settings, so it would manage to reset the PIN. It would be a huge headache to factory restore and do all of my customizations over again, not to mention re-downloading every single app.

Thanks,

Ninja

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusCrazy:
Not been on the forums or even had time to flash any ROM's for a few weeks but tonight I've got a couple of hours free, so just been looking through ROM Manager and came across Cerberus, I thought it was a new ROM at first so I took a look. Only to find out it's an APP not a ROM (weird really).

I was just wondering if anyone had tried it or know anything about it and does it really deserve a place in ROM Manager when its not even a ROM, even if it the best thing since sliced bread I'd still expect it to be in extras anyway.

Sorry If this has been discussed but like I've said Ive had no time so am a little out of touch :confused:

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehgeekguy:
Never heard of it before but I found out about it just like you did. From what I can tell it's the same as the marketplace app - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus&hl=en

I will admit I haven't tried either version (ROM manager version or marketplace), but it seems to have decent reviews. I agree though, it seems weird in ROM manager under the normal ROM listing... I expected it to be under Extras too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusCrazy:
UPDATE***

Flashed it through CWM although it can be downloaded from the market as pointed out.

What an amazing piece of kit. you get a weeks free trial but I paid 2.60 or there about.

I can't explain how good it is, if you have ever been concerned about loosing misplacing or having your Nexus slolen, then this most definately for you.

If you buy the full version you can add up to 5 phones.

It enables you to track, wipe take a picture, request call or sms log display a message sound an alarm even record live for up to 5 mins at a time, ether by loging on to there ste online or by sending a text message to your phone.

By far the best security app I've ever seen.

Check it out, its free for a week and if you don't buy it there must be something wrong with you.

And honestly I'm not assosiated with the app or its developers, just know a great app when I see one :D

https://www.cerberusapp.com/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajejee:
Hi, I'm Cerberus main developer.

First of all, if you have any questions on Cerberus feel free to ask!

Then, regarding the inclusion in ROM Manager, I'd like to explain how and why it happened.

Cerberus has additional features if you integrate it into the rom. It cannot be uninstalled (I mean, it can only be deleted by flashing a new rom or using adb/terminal emulator, but I don't think a lot of thieves know how to do that), and GPS is automatically enabled when you send a "Start tracking" command. So on the website there is a flashable zip for easy installation in /system/app.

A user, who also maintains the ROM Manager repository, told me if I wanted to publish it there too, so integration into the rom would be even easier. Of course I said "Sure, that'd be great" :)

Now I don't know if there's a specific category into ROM Manager that is fit for Cerberus or whatever, if someone more expert than me wants to write his opinion I'd like to read it.

P.S. If you installed version 1.9beta, there are some nice new features that you can't see yet in the "official" dashboard. More info here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jmPnjs07y7rs9tdsMEzwUTQtV2ncjsYcVsPUbBtZAXM/edit?hl=en_US
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
It is the best app i have ever downloaded.

EDIT: Wow I just read all the comments in ROM Manager and I want to punch so many people.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
So to expand on what ajejee said above:

Previously, Cerberus could only be installed either as a regular app with the "Device Administrator" permissions like any other security app, and the associated flaws (like not being able to turn on GPS on 2.3.3+), or by downloading a separate APK off the website and running it on your phone, which would copy the APK to the system partition.

Long story short, putting Cerberus in ROM Manager is a way to make it easier for users to install Cerberus to /system, since most competent root users have ClockworkMod Recovery and at least know of ROM Manager. While yes, it is "odd" for an app to be in the ROM listing, it's not the only non-ROM in there. I also have radio images for the HTC EVO 4G listed as well.

In regards to placing it in "Extras": Yes, that's a nice idea, but with the way RM's manifests work, it's not really feasible. The "Extras" isn't a separate category, but just another manifest that was hosted on Koush's GitHub, and was only being used by Superuser. This means that any time Superuser had an update, or Cerberus would have an update, the developers would have to send a pull request to Koush, and someone would have to merge it in.

I say was, because Superuser and Cerberus both now have their own separate manifests (meaning no more Extras link), and show up as "ROMs" in the Download ROM menu. I've talked to Koush about making a separate "Download App" menu, but the problem with that is that the Market's ToS prevent having an app that just downloads other apps.

tl;dr, this is so Cerberus can be protected against factory resets, apps can kinda-sorta go in the Download ROM menu, and ROM Manager can't have a separate Download App menu.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikimite:
Thanks

This app is awesome,

my girlfriend's phone (nexus 5) has been stolen twice and i have found it twice! The first time i found it with the front camera photo feature when you fail your password and that person did herself a nice selfie. 10 minuts later y found her and got the phone back. The second time the thief turned it off when she just found it, this time i only could wait her to put her sim in the phone...and it happened, the phone send me her phone number and i found a lot of information (photos,adresses, student,career,year....) called her and again got it back.

But i don't understand one thing, i had bootloader locked and adb not enabled. Even with password for the phone the girl managed to install a different factory image (killing cerberus forever) and i don't know how she did it, i though the phone was completely locked. Anyway i was lucky because she put his card in to the phone before doing that but i'm still confused about that. I'll try to fix that security hole somehow.

Finally i want to thank the developer for make this app, with 3€ my girlfriend saved 700 and who nows in the future maybe more.
