Advice

Thank you for your work.i really it can be more and more perfect.Then can you make it possible that we can sort the apps in the drawer as we like.Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] answr:
I would have to Agree, congratulate and

Thank AnderWebs and his Launcher and all his hard work..

100% amazing ! best thing to happen my phone =]

cant wait to see what you come out with next man

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
Agreed. =D
[G1 Android Development] blaze12austria:
I can only agree with that!!

I was wondering what everybody's experiences are with the increased numbers of rows and columns that can be customized now for the home screen. how many rows and columns are you guys using and what seems to work best for you? I have been playing around with that, just wondering what everybody else is experiencing with that.

I'm still using 4x4 screen, but I'm more of a fan of stock. Maybe I'll try out a 5x4 screen one day when I'm brave enough to venture it.
[G1 Android Development] eessel:
haha! Same here. Still rockin' the 4x4 screen..that seems to work fine for me :)
[G1 Android Development] s0mep00p:
I have been lovin' this launcher since day 1! So much progress has been made since the dots on the simple tab launcher on donut... Great work Anders, I hope you continue to keep improving this launcher. It's just siiick!
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
I'm using a 4x5 icon layout right now, only to be able to vertically perfectly align the Switchpro widget and have some more free space between the Beautiful Widgets widget and the icons underneath ;) Some people are rather easy to please, I know :o
[G1 Android Development] blaze12austria:
For me the 8.6 version of adwlauncher does not seem to work as smooth as the ones before. My homescreen always reloads and it doesnt matter what app I have used before. At least 90% of the times when I press the home key the home screen reloads and I have to wait at least 10 seconds or more. Of course I have the home app in memory. I have 5 screens and use about 4-6 widgets with a 5column-4rows home screen. When I flash any other roms with earlier versions of adwlauncher I dont have that problem. The problem really takes away all the joy of cm5.0.8stable. Anybody else have that problem? Or know any solutions?

[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
you could try to push a previous version.

I find the same thing with cyanogens 5.0.8 stable release, although it could very well be something added in that version of the rom rather than ADW as I really did not have the launcher reload a lot while using cm 5.0.8test4.

and I had been using every update of ADW except the latest one that comes pre installed on the 5.0.8 rom (so it could also be the launcher)

but that being said, it really doesn't bother me much, I love the features of this release and 5.0.8 is really nice and stable. :)

that being said, you could try an app like autokiller (if you aren't using it already) I found in 5.0.8test4 that using autokiller seemed to reduce the amount of reloads.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
also i suppose the obvious solution is less widgets, but I only have 2 (the google search and the system switches (on off for bluetooth etc.) and it still reloads alot for me. however I also don't have the launcher set to stick in memory, as the reloads don't bother me much, so less widgets may help?
[G1 Android Development] blaze12austria:
ok so I think I figured out what the problem was. you all are gonna think Im crazy, but I swear Im telling the truth here. I just happened to notice today that the settings for adwlauncher were nowhere to be found!! not via the menu button on the home screen and also NOT in the regular phone settings!!! I freaking triple checked and looked for the adw settings EVERYWHERE and they just werent there. I rebooted my phone but the adw settings were still nonexistent. so I just flashed adwlauncher in recovery again (thanks Dr. Cloverdale!) and.....oh what magic.....the adw settings are back (only via menu button on home screen though) and now it works perfectly fast going from any app back to home screen.

I am using the black version of CM5.0.8 from alan090 so I dont know if that was the fault of that rom or if my phone just wanted to **** with me. either way its working now and Im happy again :)
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
In the newest version, the trackball doesn't seem to open the App Drawer. Other than that, my favorite version so far :]
[G1 Android Development] Tiger33:
Agreed

never understood why some people feel as though launcherpro is better as this as all the features and some covered.

Fantastic work folks
[G1 Android Development] ggrant3876:
Same thing happened to me on test5, it was the morph. This is a good blackbar morph that doesn't mess awd up.

SDCard App Icons?

Just installed 8.7....ADW Launcher just keeps getting better :)

Is there a possible future fix so that the icons for apps installed to the SDCard will appear in the drawer? The workaround of first loading the default launcher after each reboot is a hassle. I also discovered today that even this workaround fails if "System persistent" is enabled. I would expect that this issue will become more pronounced when more people move to Froyo and take advantage of the SDCard install option. I currently have 47 apps using 110mb installed on my SDcard.

Thank you for your reply.
[G1 Android Development] xdd:
Thanks AnderWeb for the launcher. Its the best :D.

BTW, I am using the donut version of 0.8.7 on my G1.

The System persistent option works great but messes up the layout when switching between landscape and portrait modes.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
I know, working on that ;)
[G1 Android Development] xdd:
Wow... that was fast :).

Thanks again for all your hard work.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Cloverdale has just released his flashable system version of 0.8.7. HDPI-only is up now, and I'd imagine the MDPI version will be up shortly. :)

[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
A quick question, if we have ADW installed as a system app through a flashable zip, and have the "Keep launcher in memory" option ticked off in Spare parts, is the "keep launcher in memory" option built into ADW in 8.6 redundant and do nothing, or is it like "double time" effort, ensuring it stays in memory? I ask because I still get homescreen reloads fairly often in 8.6 and was wondering if enabling both would be overkill.
[G1 Android Development] vroomr4:
Don't download the pershoot 0.8.7 version from droidbasement. In landscape mode it keeps the launch drawer at the bottom, instead of moving it to the side. The cloverdale one doesn't have this problem.

edit: works great now. THANKS pershoot!! =D
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It's a new feature :)
[G1 Android Development] pershoot:
goes to the right using that file. confirmed (just had someone flash and test on their g1).

reflash.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I'm only using the option in Spare Parts (not the new one in ADW...technically that method isn't recommended by Google) and I only very rarely get home screen reloads. If you're still getting frequent reloads, I would try selecting both.
[G1 Android Development] pershoot:

[G1 Android Development] vroomr4:
Thanks so much for taking the time to compile the source to work as a replacement launcher for everyone, pershoot! I really appreciate this, especially since I have no idea how to compile.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Thanks for taking the time to do this, however, would it be possible for you to rename it as ADWLauncher.apk so that it overwrites the previous one?

[G1 Android Development] Germinator_2PAC:
Everythings its ok, thanks
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Well, I just flashed that, but it didn't take somehow. The settings window says version 0.8.7 is still installed. The other weird thing is the credit card graphics in the donate section have disappeared.
[G1 Android Development] fishman0919:
Yeah, Dr. Cloverdale system ver 0.8.8 is showing as 0.8.7
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I'll probably have to tick both because it doesn't still happen quite often, although I can't really narrow it down to why it is so. I mean a small action like opening settings will make it happen, yet having a graphic hogging app like MLB At Bat open for an hour and it'll go right back to homescreen.

Taken from the good Doc's own twitter: "ADW Launcher 8.8 will read 8.7 in settings. @anderwebs forgot to change that. I assure you that it was done from the most recent source."

Also to help him out since you guys already flashed, also taken from his twitter: "Anyone else? RT @EddieKrueger @Dr_Cloverdale I flashed the MDPI version and my music widgets went missing."
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Yeah, I already responded to that tweet. I haven't lost any widgets (at least not that I noticed).
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
That's good to hear as i plan to flash later on today and dont want to lose anything.
[G1 Android Development] g4rb4g3:
Could you take a look at this please?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6944637&postcount=634
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Before i flash, I have to ask is 8.8 good to go? I mean, should I flash it or just stick to the 8.6 I'm on now? The only reason I ask is because the comments over on your site seem to lean negative with this release, mainly in terms of force closing. Although the homescreen redraws like crazy for me with 8.6, I haven't had a FC at all so would hate to "fix something that aint broken" With that being said, I want those new features in 8.8, especially the new indicators. Thanks in advance for advice.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I'm not sure what's causing other's problems, but I've never had a single FC with ADW, version 0.8.8 included.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
I only have 3 widgets and 3 screens, so FC's haven't shown up for me.

If you want to take advantage of the new screen indicators (the Samsung-like app list dots that appear on the home screen, also configurable to look like the HTC slider bars on a straight line), then upgrade to 0.8.8. Otherwise, if you're not encountering any bugs, stay where you are. You might want to try the System Persistent option on 0.8.8 if you're getting lots of redraws, though.
[G1 Android Development] tissimo:
Is anyone elses launcher pretty choppy and slow on the app drawer zoom in? Sometimes it seems it doesn't zoom in as it chops so bad.

I'm trying to figure out if its my setup or the launcher app its self.

I previously was running Launcher Pro with CM5.0.8 Test2 and recently flashed CM5.0.8 Final along with Firerats All-in-one patch (didn't use before) and the latest ADW Launcher (0.8.7) and wondering if its the new rom + addons or the launcher its self.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Turning off the Launcher in Memory option in Spare parts seems to have stopped this. I still have the system persistent option on though (It was Cloverdale that first brought up that having both on slowed it down, and I have to agree).
[G1 Android Development] TheZBo:
Hi. I was running version 0.6.999999.2 and I just tried to flash version 8.8, but when I rebooted it's still the old version. I then tried to flash version 8.5, but again it still has me on the old version. Am I doing something wrong?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Are you flashing the Donut version? This should be the first thing you check.
[G1 Android Development] TheZBo:
I guess that's what I did wrong. Thanks JAguirre. I downloaded the launcher for donut from the market and I just assumed that the flashable one I downloaded was for donut as well. My mistake. Is there a flashable version for donut?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
There is. http://box23.org/pub/adw/donut/ADW.Launcher0.8.8-Donut_System_MDPI.zip
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
It'd be great if we had a central place to post the system versions (maybe the OP). I had no idea there was a flashable version for Donut (not really relevant anymore...who's still running it??).
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Donut: http://box23.org/pub/adw/index.php?dir=donut/

Eclair: http://jbthemes.com/dr_cloverdale

[G1 Android Development] TheZBo:
Thanks again, JAguirre. That one worked perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] :
Donut > Eclair ANY DAY! Tell me what Eclair has to offer Donut doesn't? A 3D Gallery that eats RAM? Live Wallpapers that most are too laggy to use? Some neat little features that don't really matter? Generally broken google apps? Sure, I'll go Froyo, but I'm staying away from Eclair since it was never built for G1.

Btw, this is on the market, too. I downloaded and moved to system/app so I can get updates but it runs a lot better as a system app imho.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
The 3D gallery runs fine for me and I don't use LWPs. I'm not sure what you mean by generally broken Google apps...everything on Eclair runs fine. My philosophy is not to run outdated software if the latest works just fine (and fast). To each their own. :)
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
/me raises his hand. :D
[G1 Android Development] knny1491:
Ive been running eclair roms for a long while now, even before cyanogen. Cant wait for froyo for my phone.
[G1 Android Development] :
Yes, 3D gallery runs fine - it just eats away needed resources. Generally broken apps? Many people have market problems! Mine were so bad that I cannot update any app in market! I can't even open the downloads. Widgets rarely updated. Beautiful Widgets showed almost 5 minutes behind at any given time. SMS Unread count widget never updated. Facebook didn't update. That's my philosophy as well, however, it doesn't work just fine. ;) As I said, though, I'll go Froyo because it's getting official support for Dream/Sapphire. 2.1 was -supposed- to but it never did. And other than live wallpapers and a pretty lockscreen, what's really that different? Don't get me wrong, though, I'm certainly not downing 2.1 in any way. I just prefer something that was ment for a device.
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
I'm still using Donut. I prefer speed over features that I won't even use. Does anyone else have trouble metamorphing the flashable Donut? I can't access the launcher after using metamorph on it.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
You flash it in recovery.
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
I flashed it in recovery and metamorphed a theme/other PNGs over it. After the metamorph process was when it broke.
[G1 Android Development] emplox:
is anyone using this on a Incredible? What's the difference between using 8.8 flash version vs the market version?
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Went ahead and flashed and all is well with me as well. All my widgets are there and no FC's. I think the System Persistent is helping some too. I still get home redraws, but it's not as frequent now.
[G1 Android Development] Lyute:
Me three for donut... :)

And thank you AnderWeb, ./inFECT and creppo87 for making the donut version of the launcher.

The 1 screen option is great; it's staying in memory even though I don't have the System Persistent option checked!

Thank you again for the wonderful launcher ;)

MDPI version and after flash it dont upgrade it...what im doing wrong ?
[G1 Android Development] inFECT:
Harhar, this was the picture which i had on my mind :-)

Its the first time that i compiled ADW for 2.x. I got a few reports from users that it does not work on their phones..

Since it was working for me.. i have no clue. Maybe i did smth wrong, maybe not.. Dont know :-)

Solution: Wait for Cloverdale's version ;-)
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Nothing, didn`t work here as well. First time an ADW-update failed ;)

I afterwards just installed the Market version, made a copy of the apk and pushed that over ADWLauncher.apk in system/app. This did work. Love the new swipe up/down!

There should be an option to disable them though. Now they HAVE to have a function... :cool: Made the swipes open up the Previews. Which I find absurdly handy :eek:

[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
Can we have to LEFT/RIGHT buttons?

And, maybe more radical, can it be made, so that we do NOT have drawer, but all the applications icons go directly to the screens?
[G1 Android Development] sunzoje:
it installs the app as Launcher.apk in /system/app. changed the name to ADWLauncher.apk but gave force closed.
[G1 Android Development] inFECT:
You are the first one who said that the donut version is not working for him.

Also, if you would read the README, you would see that the source is... guess what? Ander's Github. ;-)

Anderweb is not providing system versions right now. He is too busy to develop our much loved Launcher and allready stated this various times. Seriously. Learn.to.read!

Thanks. Got a lot of logcat reports. I'll recompile the eclair version as soon as possible.
[G1 Android Development] damngood98:
does 8.9 list itself as 8.9? i know 8.8 was listed as 8.7 when you looked at the version. just trying to see which one i'm using. lol
[G1 Android Development] enatefox:
This would be AWESOME! First though, with the desktop dots, you can tap left/right and it will scroll but the no drawer, icons all on the home screen is a sweet idea! Maybe put 4 icons we like at the bottom, always visible. Anderwebs can you make it so the reception dies when I pick up the device w/my left hand? You know how to use orientation sensors right?
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
No, buy an iPhone 4. :p
[G1 Android Development] zipiol:
so what I should to do when it dont work ? - there is no change after flashing... :/ I tried twice... :(
[G1 Android Development] inFECT:
Well, either you gonna use the nandroid backup which you should have made before flashing the launcher, OR just try an older version. If an older version does not work also, i would like to see some logs.. Feel free to send me a pastebin link via private message.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I was thinking. NO APPS, it would be the first launcher of it's kind. Also, make it have a yellow tint. Then have it so when changing the volume, it goes the opposite direction (I need iPhone features since Android sucks compared to iOS).

Also, can we make it so we can configure how many blank spots can be on each screen. Also, I was wondering if there was a way to lengthen the amount of time it takes to boot the phone, I was thinking 30 minutes sounds good.

Then, I want it to cure cancer and bring world peace in the form of a zombie attack.

Also, we need 4D effects. I want them so realistic you'll feel yourself walking through the Amazon forest.
[G1 Android Development] enatefox:
well played JAguirre1231 but your ideas fail for the following reasons:

No apps: this will overload Google's servers with OTA API calls undoubtedly leading to them charging us for bandwidth like they do with Gmail

Yellow Tint: there's no way Anderwebs (while talented) can randomly assign smudges and hue distortion across the screen as a drawable and allow you to click through the overlay. Fail idea is such.

Volume: I heard this was slated for CM6 already. Please do not file duplicate requests

Blank spots on each screen: You mean independent # of spots per screen or a global setting? This might lag the stupid ADW launcher more and push it into TouchWiz territory

Boot time: I actually agree with this as I love my bootanimation w/rainbows and delicious chicken

Cancer, zombies, inb4 404, etc: Please go to modmymoto for these types of requests.

4D effects: We've had this since before Anderwebs kanged source from Launcher2

Just my 2 cents
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I forgot to mention we also need a way to turn off the iPhone app drawer (this will be a moot point by the next iteration of FailLauncher as we won't need an app drawer).

If LauncherPro can do it, there's no way Anderwebs can. #hismotto
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
I believe that a 4D launcher could imply a 3D version with a very noticeable lag :)
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
I love this thread :)
[G1 Android Development] sitimber:
you love yourself
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Which makes it awkward since we don't love you.

Also, do you think you can make more widgets for the Launcher? It doesn't come with any.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
I think that's basically aHome, no?
[G1 Android Development] sitimber:
no thats iphone
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
At least when I tried aHome once (back when it came out), it was basically a clone of the iPhone home screen. But that was Android 1.1, before widgets, so it's probably evolved since then.
