sure, our magics/g1s lacks memory and cpu power :-(

you can overclock your magic (and avoid using ramhack) to get smoother animations... but still not "as good" :-)
[G1 Android Development] Oneofonex1:
I love this thing

thats all i wanted to say.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Are there any plans to add further features to the launcher (donut version or eclair version) because I think you've done it all, but then again, I said that last time and then you hit us with sense previews, samsung drawer, dock, shortcuts, and uninstall. Just wondering what else you got brewing.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
He doesn't plan on any new features until he gets off his lazy bum and gets a proper port for eclair.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I dig, I dig. Now with the leaked footage of 2.2, I wonder if he is going to model it after that launcher.
[G1 Android Development] torchedlh:
Yea I think my problem is unrelated to the launcher. It also force closes when using the standard launcher now...Sigh..not sure what options I have other than wiping and reflashing. Tried fixing the permissions already as well as reinstalling the app. Any ideas guys?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
are you using the widget latest version?

have you tried uninstalling the widget, wipe dalvik-cache and then reinstalling it?

also i'm sure a logcat would give us more info about the fc reasons... :-)
[G1 Android Development] answr:
Installed - ADW.Launcher.0.7.eclair_beta7

without a hitch on Cyanogen 5.0.7-DS test 3

:)
[G1 Android Development] nimsim:
No milestone, it seems

Just tried to install it on mine, but it does not show up in recovery.

Only thing I can do is rename it to update.zip, then i can run it atleast, but don't know what repercussions that will have on my device.. or if I am able to do that at all.
[G1 Android Development] nikhilv.13:
this is by far the most awesome launcher EVER!! :P it just had to be said... just a few suggestions.. any chance of making those dock and LAB,RAB icons a little bigger? i think they're too small to see properly... also, what's that clock/ weather widget in the first screenshot? i've been trying to find it but no luck...
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
if you don't have it rooted, no chances to use it yet, sorry :-(
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
didn't someone say they were going to make an Expresso metamorph for this launcher? any progress on that?
[G1 Android Development] DocRambone:
Thanks again AnderWeb for this nice Launcher :)

I have a q: is it possible to implement continuous scrolling?

This is the feature i miss most on this launcher.
[G1 Android Development] :
Is this what you mean?

On homescreen press menu/ADW settings/draw settings/uncheck 'New draw'
[G1 Android Development] loblaw:
Hmm, does the launcher affect the performance, and how do I uninstall it if I want to go back to stock?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
no, i think he wants to scroll desktops in a circular way... not sure if i could/would implement that feature with my actual skills...
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
NANDROID BACKUP is your friend :-)
[G1 Android Development] loblaw:
Ah, but is that the only way? Can't I manually remove the files that get installed after flashing ADW.LauncherXXX.zip?
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Just flash your rom over top of it again. That would get rid of it. Not sure why you would want to this thing is sweet.
[G1 Android Development] dasunsrule32:
remove icons from lab/rab

It would be nice to be able to delete the icons that are on those buttons, not a huge deal, but a nicety.
[G1 Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Wallpapers

It would be nice to have more wallpapers built into the launcher.apk package.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Our devices are too short on internal memory to waste on things like that.

You want a slow or fast phone?
[G1 Android Development] Brian_Fr:
i've got a real probleme, after rebooting, i've got a black screen, no way to do somathing, in my opinion the apk can't be install because of a package (com.android.launcher) in data/system/packages.xml. I tried to edit this file the pull command works, file editing to, put on the push command to copy the edited files on my phone, i've got "permission denied", i rooted my phone...

Someone have an idea ?

Thanks

EDIT : my config : Android 1.6 on HTC Magic (MyT3G) 32B by SFR (= Vodafone in France), it's a "with google" phone, rooted...
[G1 Android Development] DocRambone:
Yes, correct. Its implemented in GDE and home+
[G1 Android Development] shawn1224:
Okay what am I missing here or maybe I'm over thinking this too much, but how do you get the dockbar posted in this screenshot ...

I have dockbar enabled in UI settings but I'm only seeing the Nexus launcher with L/R action buttons.

Also my icons are grey in the Nexus laucher. Running ADW Launcher.0.7.eclair beta7 with test3 CM5
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Did you make sure to do 'su' first?

so you are actually using root permissions?
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
swipe the launcher button upwards like in the old launcher.
[G1 Android Development] Brian_Fr:
"su" command before adb doesn't works, only after "adb shell" it works...

i.e:

adb shell
su

EDIT: Forget what I said, rooting under Android 1.6 is impossible, you have to downgrade before, i'm sort of partialy rooted that's why it doesn't work... :mad::mad::mad::mad: If someone can give me a link to an nexus launcher with no root needed...
[G1 Android Development] shawn1224:
LOL, something told me it was going to be too easy ... thanks
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
How can you be partially rooted? Im pretty sure you can install nexus launcher into /data/app. not 100% sure as it is a zip file so it will install itself into /system/app if I am not mistaken
[G1 Android Development] kiden:
Hey AnderWeb,

Just an idea, I love your launcher, have you thought about making it look like the one here?

http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/android-2-2-froyo-and-flash-run-like-butter-on-nexus-one-vide/

Thats the 2.2 default launcher. But your launcher appears to already have more functionality than even that one! But i think it would look very nice like that.
[G1 Android Development] knny1491:
What exactly do the left and right action buttons do?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Drop an app icon on to them to have a quick shortcut to your two favorite apps.
[G1 Android Development] knny1491:
Thank you lol, I could not for the life if me figure it out.
[G1 Android Development] removesstains:
Is there a way to turn off the dock preview every time i press the home button?

I find it highly annoying and is the only thing i don't like about the latest version. If i cant turn it off i'll go back to an older version. Not a big deal
[G1 Android Development] xelaboy:
Thanks so much for making my phone look so badass. :)
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Damn, I didn't even know that was possible. If you implement that, I truly don't think there is anything else you could do. This launcher is a necessity to me now. Even using drop to uninstall like crazy now, and never did before.

I agree, the smaller file size makes keeps everything simple and smooth. As a suggestion (and what I do) grab your favorite walls, throw them in a folder, download wallpaper set and save and/or wallswitch, and get down!
[G1 Android Development] Brian_Fr:
I used this tuto :

http://wiki.smartphonefrance.info/Default.aspx?Page=root-htcmagic&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 (french)

They ask us to enter in adb shell this lines :

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd system
cd bin
cat sh > su
chmod 4755 su
sync
exit

With a modified boot image.

But when i get

adb shell
su
id

i got uid=2000, but when I use su command in adb shell, all is working well :mad::mad:

EDIT : my root is only a local root (what I called a partial root)

EDIT : Is it possible to create a launcher2.apk for this app, like AdvancedLauncher to install both launcher (original launcher.apk + launcher2.apk), no root will be needed ?
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
I second this idea, but I'm guessing he's just going to say that someone just needs to make a metamorph.

I'd love to see a metamorph theme of either 2.2 or htc expresso, but I don't have the skills/time to learn how to do it. :(
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Updated the op to add a beautiful Metamorph based on Froyo leaked pics.

Everyone thank to @bakageta!!!

Pic:
[G1 Android Development] Pranukas:
Great picture! But zip is not signed, so it cannot be installed :confused:
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
if you don't now what a metamorph is, goto themes section an do some reading :-)
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
Is it usable for CM5 latest? The metamorph of course..
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Of course it is :-)
[G1 Android Development] bluedragon1982:
whats is that above for a widget or apk?
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
awesome!!!
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
Twicca

download from the market
[G1 Android Development] eessel:
lookin' and runnin' great! Thanks! :)
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
i just flashed Version 0.7beta7 over the normal CM5 launcher and then applied the awesome Froyo theme for it. But now when I go to change my wallpaper, only one wallpaper shows up in the wallpaper gallery.

CM 5 comes with several more than that. any suggestions on how I can fix this? rebooting didn't help.
[G1 Android Development] Micah_Droid:
Awesome Launcher!

I would be willing to kick in a few bucks if you made the LAB and RAB icons bigger. Hell what am I saying Im gonna donate reguardless.
[G1 Android Development] mir2006:
It doesn't work on Samsung Spica i5700.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
The wallpapers are kept in the Launcher, nowhere else. Since this Launcher only includes one and you overrode the old one, this is to be expected.
[G1 Android Development] hehljo:
great launcher!!!

but it would be perfect if u could add the option to hide apps from the launcher like in the AdvancedLauncher :D i love this option... :)
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Search, he has said multiple times that he will not include this until he feels he has added all he wants in the launcher. If at that time, he wants to continue the launcher, he will add it (possibly). The reason being he does not use it.
[G1 Android Development] paOol:
gg launcher.

pretty damn fast on my droid.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Finally got around to installing 0.5σ.2 on my phone w/the Froyo MM. Very nice work with the Sense-style previews; overall, very smooth. The dockbar is particularly slick once I figured out how to get to it.

Once again, great work!
[G1 Android Development] yingjai:
anyone else think apps in drawers are too easy to drag onto home screen? whenever i try swiping the nexus style launcher with my finger on an app, half the time i end up dragging an icon to the home screen. only way to prevent this is to swipe on the blank spaces beside the launcher icon (i disabled lab and rab)
[G1 Android Development] Redflea:
Looks like a great home screen replacement in the making here...

Just wanted to share my experience, FWIW.

This clearly, at least for me, has the fastest loading app drawer I've ever seen on any launcher. Period.

App drawer scrolling is generally very good, as good as some of the best I've seen w/Helix. It does have some minor hiccups once in a while, but overall is very smooth/fast.

However...screen-to-screen movement, once you have loaded things up across your screens, still seems to need some work. (See below for my setup details). I'm running Cyanogen Mod with P3Droid 900Mhz kernel...

I have instances when I can't get home screens to swipe right/left, the home screens are non-responsive to gestures for 2-3 seconds, or it will hold for moment and then jump to the next screen, in a jerky rather than smooth movement. This happens w/finger flicking, and I have seen similar issues using the navigation dots, with them sometimes not responding, or having a delayed response and jerky transition to the next screen.

So a mixed bag for me right now - really like the fast opening drawer, scrolling is good, and up to six apps on secondary dock is cool. But I'd really like to have four apps on the primary dock rather than just two, and most importantly the screen-to-screen scrolling problems are bugging me more and more...

So my two cents would be that this has the potential to be the best performing home screen replacement out there, with some really nice features to boot, but it seems to need some additional tweaking for screen-to-screen scrolling when "loaded down" with a number of screens/widgets.

The same load on Helix Launcher 1.2a does not result in similar significant screen-to-screen scrolling issues - though Helix doesn't always scroll completely smoothly, I am not experiencing the same issues where the screen is temporarily non-responsive to gestures.

100 pages of posts is too much to try to catch up with, so I am curious if this home screen scrolling issue has been raised much previously...

Overall I'm really impressed with this app... :D

I have five screens in my normal setup:

Left-to-right:

1. Pandora Widget

2. World Clock widget, YouTube widget, Astro & Root Explorer icons, MountUSB widget, TripIt icon

3. (main screen): Beautiful smaller home, Google news widget (news only); eight icons for various programs

4. Network widget, SetCPU widget, Beautiful Home BT widget, CalWidget 4x3

5. Facebook widget

<EDIT> Did an uninstall/reinstall and it appears to be fine now...something must have gotten screwed up in the first install.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
how long has beta 7 been out? i hope im not late.. ive been on beta 7 6 for a while lol..

nvm answered for myself.. read OP.. *facepalm*
[G1 Android Development] ften:
V0.7b7 almost works on the Samsung Moment (2.1), I get force closes any time I try to go into settings. Very nice layout though and it's fast.
[G1 Android Development] Deicist:
Would it be possible to change the behaviour slightly so that pressing the hardware home key when in the app drawer doesn't trigger the previews if the 'home key binding' is unchecked?

Not sure if it's intended behaviour, but if I have 'home key binding' unchecked, the only time that pressing the hardware key should trigger the previews (IMO) is when I'm on the home screen.
[G1 Android Development] trock62:
installed this on CM5 test 4 and works great

[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yea this has been mentioned previously as well. Honestly, its come to a point where almost everytime it'll bring up the previews when coming from another app to the homescreen. Its very frustating, i asked him if on my end i could do a xml edit to take care of this problem but he said no its a java operator. Hence i hope in his next release he takes care of this problem.
[G1 Android Development] nuumuun:
i just found out about this launcher and it's awesome! :D

i also already have two feature requests...

- a scrollable (left/right) dockbar would be great! to be able to add more than 6 apps.

- the possibility of rearranging the dockbar apps.

i'm using it on htc hero with villain rom 5.5
[G1 Android Development] gootman:
I have contacts saved to the home screen and after installing ADW on CM5 test4 the contacts card comes from the top of the screen and is partially hidden by the status bar.

Screenshot attached.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
thanks, i'm aware of that bug and hopefully it will be fixed for next release :-)
[G1 Android Development] nuumuun:
i would like to know what calender widget that is in the 3rd screenshot
[G1 Android Development] x52x58:
I have the same issue with mine.

P.S. Love the facebook post on that screen cap.
[G1 Android Development] paul4762:
Question, I have CM Test 4 and I want to install this (had it installed on test 3) is there a way to do this so I don't have to re-do my entire home screen again? Or a way for me to update the CM Rom without losing this? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
When updating a rom, i usually flas the rom, then my launcher, then reboot. All my widgets and icons remain.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
im having issues with the metamorph for froyo.

using Version 0.6.999999.2 for donut

and the metamorph is changing it just adding the nesscary files which doubles in the .apk

think you can include the files in a custom froyo awd launcher for donut?

thanks !! anderweb ftw.
[G1 Android Development] Luxferro:
Any chance of getting an option to disable text under icons in app drawer in the next version?

When you have icons set to 6 x 6, some icon text gets cut off. i think an option to disable text would make it look a lot cleaner. When rotating horizontally the icons lose their text @ 6 x6. I'm not sure if the text is disabled in that view, or is just cut off. But it looks cleaner.
[G1 Android Development] e2zippo:
It works great on my Hero, big thanks!
[G1 Android Development] stamp:
Could somebody tell me with widget is on Froyo metamorph screenshot? The one on top.
[G1 Android Development] bakageta:
Wow, glad to see people liked the metamorph I threw together. It was just a quick and dirty clone from like one leaked pic. eessel's pic really looks a lot better than mine, dark backgrounds make it seem less transparent.

Wait, what's going on? I did all of my testing on the metamorph on donut, the latest SuperD to be specific, so it shouldn't have problems...

That's twicca, by far my favorite twitter app.
[G1 Android Development] Izord:
I tried this on top of CM5Test5 with pershoots oc kernel and it was really slow.

Flashing back to plain CM5Test5.
[G1 Android Development] lukas77:
Hi,

I tried so many things to get this launcher works and it failed. My phone is motorola milestone, is rooted and busybox installed and I could copy files to /system/app folder or delete it.

When I replace original Launcher.apk in adb shell with this modified one my phone can't boot, it stuck on Android logo screen. I've got android 2.1 and I using latest launcher.apk 0.7 beta 7 for eclair.

Also I tried to rename adwlauncherXXX.zip to update.zip and run it in recovery I've got error message "E:signature verification failed", adb push command doesn't work as well. I have no clue now. Please help or give some advice. I had read this topic and I searched in google.
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
did you try this from the OP?:
[G1 Android Development] lukas77:
Thanks but I don't know what OP is and how I can flash it from recovery...
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
The OP is the Original Post, or the first post in a thread. It should give you a link to download the latest, then just put it on your sdcard and flash.
[G1 Android Development] spongaweb:
Worked great on my G1 32B with the latest Cyanogen 2.1 Test 5

Only problem I noticed is that when I try to slide it up and I don't do it all the way up I lose the entire bottom launcher screen and have to reboot to see it again.

Is this a setting that I am overlooking or is there a way to reset it without having to reboot?
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
... and to flash from recovery:

1. Reboot your phone and hold down the home button to get into recovery.

2. Select "apply any zip from SD"

3. select the adw zip file and press home to confirm

4. select the reboot option after it's done flashing.
[G1 Android Development] lukas77:
I've got Motorola Milestone and ADB Recovery v6 installed, there are no such a thing like "Install any zip file", I can only apply update.zip from sdcard but when I reneme ADWLauncher.zip as update.zip and try to apply I've got error message "E:signature verification failed"

Anybody got this working on Motorola Milestone?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Big thanks to AW once again. You the man.
[G1 Android Development] Jigga0o7:
Seems like you've activated the dockbar. Drag it back down for the launcher button to reappear. BTW, you can store app shortcuts on that little bottom part.
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
This launcher is getting better and better. Can't wait for stable Eclair version.
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
I have to admit, I was hesitant to install this due to the horrendously alienating statements about it being so unstable on Eclair, by the OP himself... but I went ahead and did it anyways, cause after all I AM using CM's latest testing ROM. XD

I am a convert, this thing is faster and more responsive than the stock launcher, and I've since switched from Home++. (MAN do I miss the ability to drag to uninstall! >.<)

The only thing besides the above feature I miss / want, is to be able to organize the launcher dock apps in some fashion, besides remove + add in right order.

This thing is superfast, even with live wallpapers enabled, and I am hooked! I can't wait for a stable eclair release! ^^
[G1 Android Development] xanaviarai:
ADW is KING!

Drag the icon and hold it over the trash bin to uninstall.

ADWLauncher for Eclair IS KING! Nothing better than this, it should come with the CM5 for D/S as the launcher2 replacement.
[G1 Android Development] rgawenda:
Try to drag from Deskop or drawer to the recycle bin, then wait for a second there, the message "Drop to uninstall" will popup, and you're done.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
CHANGE REQUEST... Please read and chime in on thoughts!

I'm a big dxtop fan... but it was too laggy. In only switched to this Launcher permanently after finding he added the feature.

I would like to put in a request though:

Instead of sending the action directly to "uninstall", can you have it send to the Application Info screen (same one that comes before uninstall in the stock Manage Applications screen when clicking on a program)?

This way, we can choose to "move" (new Apps2SD), "uninstall", "clear cache", "clear defaults" OR "force stop"

Also gives the ability to quickly check which application version you are on too!
[G1 Android Development] spongaweb:
ahhhh hah!! Yeah thanks, just kind of a odd little behavior to do just to get it back but yeah basically where you swiped your finger on the bottom part and to get it back you have to move your finger over that 1" inch section back down to show.

There should be a setting for that and I could not even see the down pointing arrow on my dark screen, so maybe a different color arrow?.

Oh yeah... I'm loving the two little shortcuts on either side and got that right away. It's gone from a 2in1 to 6in1 bar with the other stuff like uninstall.

Cheers...
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Im sorry but i find this too cool. if you turn off support for live wallpapers in the adw settings, and turn one on anyway it will run, but only at the lockscreen. so you will have two backgrounds basically. your stock one for when its unlocked then a live wallpaper to look at when your at the lockscreen. having it like this is like having a desktop computer go into screen off mode with their moving background people are so jealous of this! I don't know if this was added or was in by default but keep it! this is just too cool to me.
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
nice find! i like that too.
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
Huh, what d'ya know? I tried this, but I guess the couple times I tried to do so, it didn't hold my finger press long enough, maybe. Awesome!

And I totally second this idea, seems like a practical variation of functionality!

... and since I just saw that it's working on CM5.0.7test5, I think I'll be flashing that, tonight. >.>;
[G1 Android Development] rgawenda:
The feature was there since the first versions, IIRC.

Your feature mod suggestion would only be one touch more to uninstall, and as you say, would give more options. I'd love it!
