Adw Launcher Ex

highest level of customization

Not ICS exclusive (not sure if it affects performance on ICS)

the only launcher I know that can handle HD live wallpapers without scrolling lag.

Doesn't show widgets in app drawer

Apex

ICS exclusive

decent amount of customization

can't customize folder icons

icon labels disappear if you set desktop grid rows to 8 or higher

Shows downloaded apps and widgets in app drawer if rooted and the launcher is installed as a system app

Nova

ICS exclusive

less customization options than the other 2

can customize folder icons

icon labels disappear if you set desktop grid rows to 8 or higher

background for app drawer is black. Can't make it show the wallpaper

most simple and easiest to set up out of the 3

Shows widgets in app drawer if rooted. Doesn't require installation as a system app

I used ADW on honeycomb. Now I am using Nova. It would be perfect for me if I could remove the black background in app drawer. I tried apex and it felt too much like a beta, which it is. I will most likely switch to apex when it matures.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] BULL3TPR00F:
best for ICS are Trebuchet, Nova, or Apex
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Spoontain:
Yeah I use trebuchet on my atrix as well as my tf. Its really smooth. Nova is nice too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sciacca75:
ADW looks slow.

Tonight i'll try Nova vs. Apex
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mntbkr:
Using ADW EX right now. I like to keep my home screen to a minimum and since titles me maximize the screen I can put the widgets and app shortcut I need all in one screen. Also it lets me change the drawer background with I set to about 60% transparent.

On my nexus I use Nova.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] browngeek:
Noticed a problem with Nova. When you shift the tablet to portrait the screen real estate is not so great and you lose a lot of space at the bottom and top.

I know you can change the row amount, but anything over 8 and when in landscape you don't get the app name showing up or the widget is slightly cut off.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Korumera:
Nova for me!

using it for a while now and it's smooth as butter, but i read good things about apax too, you should try them both and decide what works for you :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] atomic339:
I use apex, it's the best.

When i originally tried Apex i didn't like it. I gave it another go but this time pushed out to system/app instead of just installing as a regular app. Seems to work much better for me that way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] atomic339:
In apex I change the change screen method to cube. This is very smooth in portrait.

To anyone who tried both Trebuchet and Apex, which one do you prefer and why ? :)

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
I tried CM9 for a day, Trebuchet and Apex are very similar IMO. Maybe a different

features here and there but they look and feel pretty much the same.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] usagent27:
I'm using ADW EX and love it but for some reason youtube widget and mizuu widget are not updating. on the stock launcher they work no problem
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
They are both based on the stock launcher, just with custom features. Nova Launcher is the same, but I think the dev wrote it from scratch.

Trebuchet is probably from scratch too since it is from CM.

If you want to keep a stock launcher look and feel, Nova, Trebuchet, and Apex are your best bets. I consider ADW purely for customization and only use it when I want to make a fancy homescreen. If ADW had the same widgets picker as the others, it would be my daily. Also, out of the 3 ICS launchers, I think Nova is the only one that supports gestures.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dablitzkrieg:
I can't find apex in the market

Hi all,

Ive had my View for about 6 weeks now and it has been great. But I put it on the charger the other day after the battery had been drained down. I checked it a few hours later and the amber light is just blinking. It wont turn on or anything? Does this mean I have a new paper weight? Ive tried using different chargers and cable but nothing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wasilvers:
Not sure, but did you try to go into hboot and power down from there? Then stick it on the charger.

If that doesnt work, maybe pull the battery for 30 minutes then put it in and try charging (before starting it up). These are things that worked with my EVO 4G phone when it got locked up. I'm not sure how hard it is to pull the battery in this though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] devator22:
Can't pull the battery. Try pushing volume down plus power for ten seconds, or until something happens. That is the hard coded method for resetting, since battery pull is not possible.

Thanks for advice guys. I got it figured out. For some reason my cellphone charger stopped working so I decided too try the htc charger that came with it and voila it charged right up. I have so many other chargers in my house I never took the views charger out of the box until today.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
First, this does not have a user removable battery. You have a flyer according to your sig, so you should know that lol.

If you hold down the power button long enough, the tablet will power itself off in the same manner that you can do with your windows based pc.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KB112:
In a real pinch you could crack it open and disconnect the battery cable. Some have been in that situation before.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] s13envy:
I understand the basics of modding...i currently have an AT&T skyrocket running the SKY ICE Rom. I've ran a ROM backup via Rom Manager. My question is, if i want to try a new ROM then i would run a backup right before installing a new ROM. then go through the same process as when installing the first ROM (wiping data/cache) right? Wont this delete my backups? Or what exact data is it wiping when you do it? and is it safe to have an external SD card in the phone when doing the wipe? I dont want to lose any information on my sd card and its always worried me so i take it out. thanks for any help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anuragchowdry:
When you install a new rom there is no need to back up again if you already have made a back up recently (if it is a old back up then make a new back up and if not required delete the older back up as they consume a lot of space). Regarding the loss of SD card data, you need not worry only the data on phones internal memory gets erased.the back up which you make on rom manager is safe as it is stored on your SD card.hence,there is no need to take out your SD card when installing a new rom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] s13envy:
so doing a rom backup doesn't backup all your current apps and settings? i hate losing my aCar info and my plants vs zombies saves. when i did my first nandroid backup (before i flashed my current ROM) i had my SD card out i believe. and when i did the wipe through CWM it didn't completely wipe the phone out. i believe all the folders where still located on the phone.

i just want to backup my phone to the way it is currently and try out some new ROMs to see if i like one better and be able to go back to this one if i decide i dont like the new ones. i know that i can back up all my apps and user data with titanium backup and reinstall apps and such to a new rom if i choose to stay with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mozy420s:
thanks

this is a good explanation. I did a data/cache wipe, but was wondering what stayed, and what goes away. I just updated to Franco's kernel (I'm using 4.0.4 ICS) and tried to get back to the stock kernel. well. I failed. :(
[Galaxy S II General] shadowofdarkness:
First the tip: Don't use the "Show Station ID" option, it causes a massive battery usage.

Here are some numbers, with it turned on 4 hours of uninterrupted radio listening drains 36% of my battery. With it turned off the same 4 hours only drains 20% of my battery.

This is caused because with it turned on the phone never goes to sleep when the screen is off. When it is off the phone actually goes into deep sleep will still playing music which causes the drastic difference.

My numbers are based on 40 hours a week listening for 5 months of Station ID being turned on without thinking about it and getting a consistent 36%/4hr daily

Then I did my only factory reset when going to a ICS rom a couple weeks ago and not thinking to set it I started only losing 20%/4hr and noticed I was spending time in deep sleep.

It's great leaving work after a 8 hour day with a extra ~30% battery then I have been used to.
[Galaxy S II General] bpivk:
Actually that's not an accurate comparison seeing that you've switched roms.

Try to compare it now on your new rom so that the comparison is done on same roms.

But thanks for the info anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] mikereidis:
I think this may be due to the HUGE number of messages written to logs when RDS is enabled. I see this with my FM app using the RDS in my app's Samsung FM API mode, and there's not too much I can do about it in that mode.

====

BTW, I very much need people with S2's to help me get my app working on stock or stock derived ROMs on which the stock FM app works. It works fine on Galaxy S for a while and probably just needs a tweak or 2. See my post here and respond via PM or on my thread, since it's Off Topic to this thread.

Except that... perhaps my app can use less power when in background or screen offm since it can turn the RDS off then.
[Galaxy S II General] shadowofdarkness:
I did a quick 1 hour test with it on and the numbers still match up. My phone lost 9/hr which does equal 36/4hr.
[Galaxy S II General] mikereidis:
I'll run a test on my Galaxy S and I'd bet the same thing happens. I think a dozen or more log messages every second can do the battery in faster.

For you or anyone else looking to test my app, there's not much to it:

Feb 26 release on the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm

Possibly better Feb 28 release: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i5654nm9vzd9d9m/Spirit_FM_Radio_v120228.apk

Just ensure a wired headset is plugged in, install the app and run. If you are rooted you should deny SU when it starts. At the Intro screen, press "Disable".

Hopefully, it will "just work" at that point.

NOTE: I just realized now that if you give my app SU, it will not try the Samsung FM API, it will go straight to the low level mode which gives no audio on the GS2. So set Menu->Settings->Debug->FM API to "OEM Proprietary" to force use of the Samsung FM API. If this API fails, I think the app will fall back to the low level mode. That can be prevented by setting Debug->FM Chip to "TI" and if the OEM API fails, then power up will fail.

Working or not, please give SU to my app, restart the app and send me a debug log with Menu->Help->EM Logs. After a few seconds. enter "GS2" and/or any useful phone or ROM etc. information in the email text and press send.

Remember, this test request is for stock or stock derived ROMs that can run the stock FM app only.

My app has been running in a "low level device driver mode" for over 6 months now on rooted GS2s, but without audio, except I think on the MIUI ROM which supports the CyananogenMod audio method. I need no testing for this mode, unless you know how to enable the FM audio or want to try the different Audio Methods to see if any magically work.

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a new car and I was wondering if you guys could give me your opinion on the matter. I am looking for reliability here but here are the options i have. (feel free to lay down any options you like but nothing used please)

-2012 BMW 335i Sedan (the new redesigned model)

-2012 Audi A5

-2012 Nissan 370z

-2012 Mitsubishi Evo X

-2012 Infinity G37x Sedan

I'm going to buy this spring but i do not want to buy something that will be redesigned next year so i thought BMW would be the best option. Since the car has been fairly redesigned i was hoping maybe reliability and stuff is for the better? I know i should ask this in a car forum, but their all biased in a way lmfao.

Thanks :)
