Has anyone given the 0.9 system version posted here a flash? (http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=680) Seems to be the only one around and I know Cloverdale and inFect have been having issues compiling the latest (Don't take this wrong, but I stalk y'all twitters looking for system updates like a crack fiend) so wondering who this one was made. Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] pershoot:
i built that from anderwebs git earlier (after revertion of the froyo intents (i believe this was the cause to the not found symbol issues during build time)).
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I'm a little confused here. The name of the app in your flashable zip is Launcher.apk, so that would seem to replace the default Android launcher on it's own. If you're on a CM5.0.7-based ROM, all you do is flash the zip? (without entering any Terminal commands)
[G1 Android Development] sunzoje:
from cm5.0.8 test build to final cyanogen changed Launcher.apk to ADWLauncher.apk. but in 5.0.7 it's still Launcher.apk thus only flashing is necessary.
[G1 Android Development] leonnib4:
Awesome Launcher!

But I do not succeed in building it for FroYo with AOSP sources:

???

ok i try to update 0.8.6 to 0.9.0 by this

http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=680

when i try option A my result is:

rm: can't remove '/system/app/ADWLauncher.apk':Read-only file system

when i try option B:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system failed: Device or resource busy

afrer flashing my version stay 0.8.6..
[G1 Android Development] leonnib4:
adb remount

or

adb busybox moun -o rw,remount /system /system
[G1 Android Development] castaway1:
it works, thanks you a lot :)
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I flashed that, but as usual, it still says version 0.8.7 is installed. I don't get it. It seems like the system version of ADW just isn't a good idea anymore.
[G1 Android Development] pershoot:
Because cm has adwlauncher as oppose to launcher. Pls re-read instructions. Either option is viable.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Just did. Rather than thru Terminal, I did it manually thru Root Explorer, thanks.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Ok, I got a little lost here. Now I remember back around version 8.1 or so trying to flash Dr. Cloverdales system version and it not taking, then doing the terminal command to remove it, reboot and then flash. It worked, however, I believe I was on 5.0.7 at the time. Now I'm on 5.0.8 Test 4 (haven't upgraded yet because T4 is running so smoothly for me, why mess with it) with 8.8 system installed. What method should I use to get you flashable system onto my Test 4 build? I apologize for the ignorance, just got off night shift.
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
hehe, too funny, but if you ask me, the one thing i do not understand about android's GUI, is that, why do we have screens and drawer? what is the point? obviously not everybody would agree, and that is fine also, but i rather have my apps all on the "screens", as in the iPhone, which i came from, than on a "drawer".
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Then we can't use things like Android's widgets.
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
Maybe i'm too new to android, but, why would that be?

I use some widgets, and they reside on my screen, not on the drawer.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Sure you can. Kwanbis, give aHome a try, see if you like that. That's pretty much what you're talking about, plus Android widgets (so imagine if the iPhone had widgets, yeah, then like that).
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
I would take a look at it thanks.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
If we didn't have a drawer, all apps would need to reside on the screens, and adding widgets to this would be too much of a hassle (Find a screen with enough free space, add widget to that screen, move apps off screen you want it on, out widget).

We could have widgets, but it would not be as user friendly.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
I'll bet you if the iPhone ever added widgets, it use be a pinch on the home screen to display them. Then there wouldn't be any issues with space, just the limitations of one screen of widgets (well, it's Apple, right, it "just" (barely) works :p).
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
A widget is just a "live icon" that can have any size.

I do not see any problem actually.

But then again, this was just a question, do not want to hijack the thread, but i still think it is much better this way.
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
Apple is not perfect for sure, but there is one thing that *I* think it does better than anyone still: GUIs ;)
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Except that on Android, widgets can consume far more screen real-estate. Sure, you can have your icon-sized 1x1 widgets, but most are 4x1, 4x2, 4x4, 2x2, etc. They take up a third to half of your screen, leaving little room for icons.

If we had no app drawer, we would have far more screens than we'd need with all the widgets some people add (some people have 5 screens filled with 4x4 widgets).
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Without a doubt, that's still one area where Android lags behind. Hopefully Gingerbread can give us a unified GUI in all system apps, and provide proper APIs for Devs to follow on their own (but optional, not mandated, because this is Android after all!).
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
This thread couldn't be hijacked more than it already is.
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
I actually have it like that, but i have to arrange all manually. If it can be done manually, it can be done automatically. I still see no issues.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Fork, do it, contribute :)
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
Would love to. No like C programming ;)

I used it like 8 years ago for about 6 months.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Good news, everyone! It's Java! :D
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
Really? I always thought since linux, hence, C or C++.

Not much experience in Java, but more likable than C :D
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
It is both. Android libraries are all written in C/C++, but the apps are written in java. So depending on how deep you want to go, it can be "all java".
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
I finally got everything working again.

ADWLauncher 9.0 Flashable versions are up at http://www.jbthemes.com/dr_cloverdale
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I haven't tried Cloverdale's yet, but I flashed Pershoot's 0.9.0 and it works great. It's made for CM5.0.8 though, so if you're on a CM5.0.7 build, delete the existing ADWLauncher.apk, and then rename Launcher.apk back to ADWLauncher.apk. Those are in /system/app. I never had to do that with Cloverdale's zips.

EDIT: Just noticed that AnderWebs mentioned that here: http://twitter.com/anderwebs/status/17332295773
[G1 Android Development] ezio84:
Just updated default ADW 0.8.6 build to the new 0.9.0 with pershoot's system version, on a Magic 32b with CM 5.0.8 final.

All works good, thank you! :)
[G1 Android Development] Arkain2K:
Thank you sir.

It's flashing time!
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
The good Doc posted his version before I even got a chance to try pershoot's so I guess I'll give that a flash and if that's a no go, pershoot's will be on the SD Card as well just in case.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Yeah Dr. C posted his right after I flashed Pershoot's. Both worked fine, although I flashed Cloverdale's when he released his simply because that's what I've always run.
[G1 Android Development] zipiol:
So I tried every older version with all the same result - no result.

N I tried this Market ver. which works perfectly (I don't know why it add 2 different launchers but both working well) but I nieed flashable ver so I'm asking here/You what to do... ?
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
So Doc C's flashed fine? No additional commands are necessary with his right?
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
As long as you have been using my launcher, or are on cm5.0.8 there is nothing extra to do. For my next release, I am working on a script that removes the extra launcher during install (if it exists).
[G1 Android Development] ggrant3876:
That would be nice. I just pushed the apk and deleted the AWD system app so that it only shows up once in settings. What you are going to do will make it a lot easier.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Sounds like good money!
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I have no plans to use any other launcher besides the system version of ADW, SO that will be great!
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Co-sign this.

Also, .9 is that work!!! Love the new swipe gestures. I literally had someone over my shoulder who also owns a G1 while I was messing with my homescreen, pinching and zooming and swiping and what not and they thought I was faking what was going on on the screen. They truly thought i was watching a video from youtube of a quote "some new exclusive google 'jawn'". That's when you know you've got something good right here.
[G1 Android Development] jfourman:
Shortcut Icons for SDCard apps come and go - ver.9

ADW Launcher version .9 fixed the issue of the drawer not displaying app icons that are installed to the SDCard (on my Moto Droid with Froyo FRF84b) . However, the icons for app shortcuts on the home screen have the odd behavior of waiting a few hours after a reboot to appear after which they turn back to the default Android icon only to return to the app icon again after a period.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?

With each update, ADW continues to improve with new features and fixed bugs. I am very app with this app and AnderWeb's continued efforts to improve his work.

Thank you for your replies.
[G1 Android Development] TheHeffNerr:
Removed wrong thread have stock n1 not g1... followed a wrong link i guess
[G1 Android Development] krasool:
i have about 200 apps....can we have hide app ability in ADW launcher for the ease of organizing the drawer? Thanks much!
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
No, Ander mentioned this way back in the beginning of the thread. However, his app is open source, so you or someone with coding skills is free to fork it and add that feature yourself.
[G1 Android Development] Michaelr219:
epic feature idea

this may have been mentioned, but a double tap home to launch an app would be awesome, including single tap to adw launcher, with a parameter to set the ms between taps. it would allow adw to work like quickdesk but giving the user the ability to launch any taskswitcher, task killer, or app on the fly...

pls +1 if you like this idea!!!
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
Is it possible to optimize this app, like free up some RAM for the devices such as 32B? And are there certain features that free up more RAM when disabled/enabled? Features are good, not everyone uses all that's provided. But everyone can appreciate speed and stability. Thanks, it doesn't need to be said by me for you to know it's a great launcher ;]
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I know what you mean. At this point the app is great and I can't think of any new feautures that are needed. If too many more are added, it might get a little bloated.

If you want to minimize RAM usage, flash the system version zip (in my sig) and delete the stock launcher. If you're using the standalone Market version of ADW, there are always two launchers running at once, wasting a lot of RAM.
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
I pushed the market version into my /system/app/, thus replacing the stock launcher. Note I am on Donut, 2.1 just isn't fast enough for me. I tried flashing the donut versions from box23 but that launcher wouldn't let me metamorph it :\ For the past week I've done extended testing + comparison with the ADW launcher and donut stock launcher. The ADW launcher uses more RAM by the passing updates. And as compared to the stock launcher, I've noticed ADW using up even more RAM as the day goes by.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Not necessarily. The stock launcher is launcher.apk and ADW is ADWLauncher.apk. If it was as simple as pushing the Market's apk to /system/app, there would be no need for a flashable zip.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Following up on what TeeJay said, the /system version also uses a shared uid, which allows it to share a process with several other core apps, saving a little additional memory.
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
A simple renaming process is all that's needed. Try metamorphing it, http://www.mediafire.com/?mzzamnjztaw (donut .88 version)

The only feature I miss out on is BetterCut but that can be fixed flashing a system version and use the "Backup Desktop Configuration" feature :D. The things I do to theme my phone :]
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Here are the differences in the flashable version:

1. I compile a version with only MDPI, so system space is saved and performance is improved on slow devices.

2. It is named com.adw.launcher instead of org.adw.launcher, so bettercut works.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I knew there was more to it than just pushing the Market app to /system. Thanks Cloverdale!
[G1 Android Development] gper78:
There have been a number of requests in this thread for that type of feature. It would be without a doubt a very useful addition. Dr_Cloverdale, would you care to take on adding this to our AWESOME launcher?:D:D
[G1 Android Development] bugmenever:
Could anyone be so kind to upload the latest market version for donut? I have no internet on my phone and i want to install it with adb :) system replace versions do not work because my phone is unrooted.
[G1 Android Development] gringo69:
Is there any way of getting an invisible swipe down notification bar? I like the hide option for it for looks.....but it is very useful.....

I want it but i dont wanna see it....... Does anybody else think it would be a good idea?

I know i can use the menu button to do the exact same thing but swiping down is just one flick of the finger instead of two (hit menu and then hit notifications)

maybe if others wanted this feature andweb could put it in for us:D
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It'd be nice if this were configurable, maybe options like hide/show the bar, pull down the bar, show previews, open the app drawer, or do nothing.

I also want some more shirtcuts, maybe four.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Perhaps "System Preferences" -> "Swipe down actions" would be a good place to configure that. Just a suggestion.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
That, and an option to rotate the entire launcher at a 45* angle relative to the phone's case.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
if you set the swipe up gesture to hide the notification bar, and the swipe down gesture to bring it down (which I believe is default anyways) then you can swipe up to hide the bar, making it invisible even when you swipe down to bring it down, and then if you need it back completely just swipe up again :)
[G1 Android Development] gringo69:
i owe u an apology....i thought u were just messing around with this...i went to the market and installed adw launcher on over the one on cm5.0.8 ds and what u say is true.....

thanks for the tip
[G1 Android Development] klinster:
Can I have the option to swipe the screen and the phone turns off? It would be great!
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Can I have the option to swipe the screen and remove all the useless comments in this thread?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
No, but you can have the "Swipe to donate" option (In spirit of this launcher it will be default, left and right swipes, and untoggleable). He wanted them to up and down but it conflicted with the swipe to die.
[G1 Android Development] idkidk:
Hi,

just flashed the 9.0 system....... done.... faaaaast!!

New option is really really good!

Thanks Anderweb for your excellent work!

Idk
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
LOL!!!!!!

well that made my day :)

*looks at phone

now lets see...

was swipe up donate or die...
[G1 Android Development] twilk73:
Does ADW allow you to get notification count? I cant find it in the options. Like for instance if I recieve a new text will it tell me i have 1 new text above the text icon? I notice its a feature in launcher pro so why not a feature in ADW? Also I am a big fan of the notification numbers considering I am so use to them however I prefer ADW over LP so if it could be posible to implimint this action if its not already in the settings somewhere I could donate plenty of beer money :) I mean having a launcher that I like is worth a few beers in my opion. I love the swipe guestures added by the way, freaking awesome.

Oh also does anyone know the closest color code for green to match the evo green color when pressing an icon?
[G1 Android Development] :
Hey Anders nice work on the .9.0, just a quick question.

I have already changed the small preview screen background to white and want to do the same for the Sense style preview windows but can't find the bg.9.png I need to change in drawable mdpi, any clue please?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] fsr678:
I just updated the launcher to 0.9.0 on my CM5 and have a quick question about the app drawer background. It used to have a slight transparency but now it's solid black. Is there a way to make it like how it was with the transparency?

Thank you for an amazing launcher!
[G1 Android Development] MotoMudder77:
in settings/drawer/background slide the alpha bar towards the left for more transparency
[G1 Android Development] fsr678:
Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Can't wait till someone makes a flashable zip of version 1!!!! It looks like it changes the game!!!
[G1 Android Development] Mumps:
Version 1 win Paperless theme is incredible!

I also love the Backup/Restore option (maybe it's not new to 1.0, but I found it now :D )
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Damn version 1.0 looks sexy. Nice work as usual Ander.
[G1 Android Development] gper78:
Has anybody made a flashable system version 1.0 for Eclair? Cloverdale says he's not setup to do it anymore.:(
[G1 Android Development] klinster:
Go to anderwebs site he posted them there

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb
[G1 Android Development] gper78:
Those are not not flashable zips, but thanks!:)
[G1 Android Development] beav_35:
For those who are asking I have created flashable zips for ADW.Launcher and uploaded them here:

Download ADWLauncher_cm508_mdpi_1.0.1.zip

Download ADWLauncher_cm508_hdpi_1.0.1.zip

Download ADWLauncher_cm6rc1_mdpi_1.0.1.zip

Download ADWLauncher_cm6rc1_hdpi_1.0.1.zip
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Awesome :)

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
I used ADB to push it to system.

can anyone else verify if it is supposed to still say 'Version 0.9.0 System' in the ADWLauncher settings?

Mine still says it, even though I've upgraded to the CM6 compatible version 1.0.0
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Mine has the right version number (1.0.0 or something like that)

But I just flashed Dr cloverdale's cm6 zip.

You can know for sure that you have the new version if you go to adwlauncher settings and the donate button is gone, as well as there should be a new theme section.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Thanks for the feedback!

I checked and I don't have the donate option anymore, but it still says 0.9.0 in the version at the very bottom of the same screen. Settings>ADWLauncher>Build Information

However, I don't see a theme section.... Confusing
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Where do I get cloverdale's CM6 zip?
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
http://jbthemes.com/dr_cloverdale/
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
thanks! trying it now
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Thank you so very much. Flashing hopefully after down reading the rest of XDA!

Edit: Not only do the zip work like a charm, it actually got rid of my double ADW Settings. Thanks again. Also, Ander, you done outdid yourself with this release. Fan fricking tastic. Consider those themes bought!
[G1 Android Development] sufu009:
Hi Everyone,

I recently downloaded the market version of ADW.Launcher (donut) from the Android Market on my G1(1.6). After it finished downloading, I don't exactly remember how it opened and changed the theme of the phone. I was fooling around with the phone and then I changed it back to the default theme of what I had before i downloaded ADW.Launcher (donut).

The problem is now I cant go back to it. I tried uninstalling and re-downloading form the Android Market but nothing seems to work. Every time I download it, nothing happens after it says the app has been successfully installed. Has anyone had this problem before?

I would appreciate it for some input or help/advice. :)

Thanks in Advance.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Did you mean you can't go back to adw at all?

Or that you can't go back to the theme?
[HD2 General] ftrippie:
Hi Guys,

Question; after I had my screen replaced (by Vodafone), suddenly I am experiencing problems connecting to my router at a greater distance.

Before the repair, I could connect downstairs to my router upstairs (2 floors) easily. Now no way, even sitting next to the router only gives me 2 bars out of 4 (but at least it works).

Before starting all kinds of tests, I would like to know if anybody else had a sudden change in reach.

I am seeing 4 possible causes:

- because of the repair

- flashing HSPL and then Artemis ROM of 6-7/3/2010 (before the repair it worked without a problem)

- something with the battery placement (I have seen issues with HTC diamonds)

- network setup (Broadcom 802.11 adapter for instance)

Anybody?

Cheers
[Legend Android Development] michalst:
Soooo folks , my Baby has arrived yesterday and now i have following Question:

Anyone know how to root this shard? Same as Hero? .... I don´t think so...

Thx for Answers

:)
[Legend Android Development] BicolXpress:
how did u get it so fast. where did u buy it from?
[Legend Android Development] vegetaleb:
I think rooting the Legend would be like for the Nexus One, because it's the first 2.1 OS to be rooted, anyway why would you root it if no dev made a ROM yet?

We will have certainly modded ROMs with fully working Live Wallpapers but give them a little time ;)
[Legend Android Development] michalst:
Buyed it yesterday from here: http://obchod.sunnysoft.cz/zbozi/041ZHT-158/htc-legend.html but thats in Prague CZ ....

I dont need a custom ROM yet.. :) But i need root access for Market Enabler , i have some Apps that i buyed with HERO and in CZ i see only Free Apps .... lol

;)
[Legend Android Development] jafemaster:
@michalst .. quite expensive . I bought the phone yesterday for 390,-Eur (2x phones, me a and my wife).. agem (dot) sk

but anyway. my question is, if I am in Germany with the fone, can I use amrket for buying application, or not? Many thanks for info (my first android)
[Legend Android Development] michalst:
Depends allways from your Provider, when is your Provider West-EU u can use Market without restriction....
[Legend Android Development] vegetaleb:
If the Legend is not Rooted we can't install APK games and apps?
[Legend Android Development] salahag:
It's exciting to see the Legend finally released. But I'm waiting for the Desire :p

About the apps. I'm sure we can install any apk files on the Legend. As for the paid apps bought on the Hero, you can get the apk file from your Hero using Root Explorer. I have purchased one application and the apk file is located in /system/sd/app-private folder.

The problem here is that if the developer relases an update to the market you won't be able to update your app!!!
[Legend Android Development] michalst:
So I found my Apps in Hero in /data/app so i can install them to Legend... thats important for first time and later when Rooted then i will use Market...
[Legend Android Development] michalst:
Bootloader mode, may be helpful for anyone .... :)
[Legend Android Development] buzjay:
Does Anyone has a solution for rootingthe phone and activate then Market Enabler... Here in Belgium we have the same problem...

is it possible to root it without reinstalling a new rom ?

thx
