I got ADW(latest)metamorph(from market) did permissions and it said "themes applied" when I went back to home acore fc'd
[G1 Android Development] sl1k1:
You still get a FC after reboot?
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Lemme try now, thanks for the suggestion.

EDIT: okay everything's fine now, thanks man <3
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Why would you want that? Just drop the Phone and Browser onto the shortcuts and don't change them, gives the same effect.
[G1 Android Development] deaffob:
Any1 know how I can copy all my settings from RC build to Market installed version? RC build is in the system/app folder as I flashed it from recovery. I noticed that just deleting Launcher.apk and place the Market downloaded version in its place doesn't work because RC version's program name is "Home" and the one from Market is "ADW Launcher".
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
Ah, was wondering about this. +1
[G1 Android Development] yingjai:
Do please. Thanks. Almost thought you ditched the zips since you removed RC3 from your site til I did a search on this thread.
[G1 Android Development] :
do not spek about the "final version".

continue working on it! you're great!

t h a n k ' s
[G1 Android Development] zipiol:
So, did U post the 0.7 final flashable file in this thread ?

or it's only on the market ? :/
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Untested suggestion:

> adb pull /data/data/com.android.launcher .

Upgrade. If this has the expected effect of clearing the settings:

> adb push com.android.launcher /data/data/
> adb shell fix_permissions
[G1 Android Development] RobbieTheStiff:
Where's the right place to make a feature request?
[G1 Android Development] e2zippo:
I can't find the launcher on the market, what do I search for?
[G1 Android Development] smjfosho:
all you need to type is ADW
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
7.1 Flashable Update

This will install it directly to /system. Additionally, I removed all hdpi images (not needed for G1/MT3G) to make this half the original size :)

ADW Launcher 7.1

Just flash from recovery.
[G1 Android Development] e2zippo:
lol, I typed AWD :P

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Germinator_2PAC:
Thanks i flash and works fine.
[G1 Android Development] dsmithok:
action buttons

might be a dumb question, but i can't find anyway to assign shortcuts to the action buttons. what am i missing?
[G1 Android Development] HaloTechnology:
thanks man you made my g1 look fantastic
[G1 Android Development] yingjai:
Should think about making app drawer overshoot same as the new desktop overshoot. It's nice.
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
drag icons from the desktop onto the action buttons.
[G1 Android Development] dsmithok:
It does not work no matter how many different times i've tried.....
[G1 Android Development] deaffob:
Thank you, Cloverdale. But my settings from RC3 didn't carry over when I flashed your modified version. :O So I had to go back to RC3.
[G1 Android Development] gper78:
Make sure the LAB and RAB are enabled in settings.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
There's a little bug on that if you enabled the "hide AB background" option... i need to fix it. But meanwhile you can disable the option, drop your icon and enable it again... sorry :-(
[G1 Android Development] gper78:
This launcher is absolutely awesome, is there any chance you could add more wallpapers to the picker? Thanks You AnderWeb!!
[G1 Android Development] Foxwolfe:
Or even details on how I could go about adding my own wallpapers to the launcher? Not sure if it requires XML editing or what but so far all I've been able to do is just replace the default one with a new image of the same name in the APK itself.
[G1 Android Development] gper78:
An earlier post mentions something about having to edit the XML file in the .apk

Hopefully somebody will shed some light on this.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Ander, are you going to compile an official zipped version to install via recovery?
[G1 Android Development] tuffmek:
Hello everyone, I have a quick question, on the pictures in the opening thread there are more then 2 applications next to the launcher, how do I add the 3rd and 4th ones? every time a try to add another one, the previous gets replaced. I tried looking in the settings of the launcher, but to no success.
[G1 Android Development] ttabbal:
To do this you need to build from source. If I get time, I'll download the source and give it a go.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I just wanted to say I tried ADW for the first time and am loving it! Is the app tray launcher and twin app shortcuts at bottom center very much like Android 2.2, or is it a Nexus thing whether on 2.1 or 2.2?
[G1 Android Development] smjfosho:
its a theme
[G1 Android Development] mrty4short:
For theme purposes it would just be nice to add the walls u wanted to your theme without having to use another launcher. Thats the only reason I asked if you could atleast give info on how to do it that would be great also. Or is there a reason not to add them in does it slow the launcher down? I really appreciate your work and really like this launcher it is by far the best i have ever used.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Yeah, but what is it based on? I hadn't seen that setup until I saw the N1 Froyo screenshots.
[G1 Android Development] smjfosho:
initially someone, i forget who, made it to look like the screenshot, now it has the same look pretty much exactly
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Between finally moving on to Eclair (CM5 is quite nice indeed) and then flashing this beaut on top of it, my g1 is now on a whole other level. Much appreciations AnderWeb.
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
anderwebs

You might consider cleaning up the menus where it refers to Sense UI and Samsung S before those guys come after you for 'copying' or something.

Also I couldn't find an option to hide the Nexus tray icon, so I had to modify it myself. Other than a few force closes when applying settings, this works perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Still using RC3 (which is no punishment ofcourse ;)) because the newer "final" 0.71 version doesn't install in the same way as the RC's did. Still unable to restore a homescreen-icon-layout using MyBackupPro.

After installing/flashing 0.71 (either from the Market or Recovery) there are two launchers installed on the phone, as 0.71 does not overwrite RC3. So when restoring the layout RC3 is updated and 0.71 remains the same.

Ofcourse it's not a veeeery big problem to create the same layout again on 0.71 but if there is a way so that 0.71 overwrites RC3 I would be very gratefull :D
[G1 Android Development] rgawenda:
adb shell cat /data/data/com.android.launcher/databases/launcher.db > /data/data/org.adw.launcher/databases/launcher.db
adb shell cat /data/data/com.android.launcher/files/launcher.preferences > /data/data/org.adw.launcher/files/launcher.preferences

Did work for me. Remove "adb shell" if doing from terminal. Better do it while using the old 'flashed' launcher.
[G1 Android Development] blue_rocket:
Here you go guys... to make the AWD Launcher look just like Froyo, create 2 Bettercut shortcuts (yes, unfortunately you have to purchase Bettercut - yah, it's ugly).

Make one that points to Phone and choose this icon:

Drag that into your left hotspot.

Make one that points to Internet and choose this icon:

Drag that into your right hotspot.

now go into Settings and change the AB Scale Factor to "8"

Bam, Froyo baby! :eek:

I extracted these icons myself out of a Froyo build...so they are the real deal. Enjoy!
[G1 Android Development] s0mep00p:
Hey Anders, since you've released a complete version for eclair, what about just doing a similar thing with donut since you already have most of it done? :D
[G1 Android Development] amontem:
Would it be possible to get a flashable zip for 0.7.2? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
what's the changes in 7.2?
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
http://www.jbthemes.com/dr_cloverdale/ADWLauncher7.2.zip
[G1 Android Development] Flash23:
2 questions... what updates are with the new release? I checked his site and i only seen for 7.1... when flashing updates what does it do with the older version? this goes for all updates... always wondered like if still hogs memory or it gets deleted
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
With this version it's alas still not possible to backup/restore a homescreen icon layout using MyBackupPro.

Latest version this works properly with is RC3 unfortunately. This is the only reason for me to hold of using the final build :(
[G1 Android Development] :
7.2 seems to FC everytime I press home. Any one else having this problem?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
For people having troubles with this, could you test one thing for me?

I've uploaded 2 "alternate" files to test some things i had in mind. If anyone of those with "black screen" or "bootloops" could try both and post results here... it would be appreciated.

For the rest of you, this is NOT a new version, nothing changed here, just different compilation/signing things... so this is just a TEST

Test A

Test B

Please, post.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] bluedragon1982:
i have tested both version via "adb push Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk"

and both Versions are working for me now without blackscreen or bootloops :)

Thnaks for your work - BTW what did you changes in this Versions?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Still don't know for sure, but seems "resigning" the .apks or zipaligning them is causing some trouble...

After compile, i usually extract the APK, i use optiPNG to try reduce image sizes, then repackage everything with aapt, resig and zipalign....

But it seems somewhere in the proccess, things screw up for "some" people... But don't now why is only happening to some and not everyone... i had same issue with my theme, causing bootloops/black screens for some people...

If you know any "major dev", you can ask them for me? I'm still very noob here and i don't wanna mess them myself :)
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
I do hope there would be a version with the option of 4 row icons instead of 5. Four does seem significantly faster than 5 in most launchers. Otherwise great work, hoping to use it as my main in the future.
[G1 Android Development] bluedragon1982:
4 row icons = cupcake and dount

5 row icons = Nexus (Eclair)

its an Nexus MOD Launcher, so i think 5 row icons is the best for it
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
In theory, i could put a metamorph for you all to change the colums/number of screens, or you could change it with brut.all apktool... :)
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
I think it just got lost in the din, but how are you signing? Are you using the testsign.jar method, or jarsigner? If the latter, how did you set up your keystore? (EDIT: I do see that all the .apks are signed with some form of testkeys, so which testkeys becomes the follow-up question.)

You've got zipalign as the last step, which is right.

Since the images are static anyways, you may as well save yourself some trouble and optiPNG the source images in the drawables folder before compilation. Then you shouldn't even have to touch the final output, assuming the build process is setup to sign the package. That might be worth trying.
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
Since when did the Nexus One ever had a 5 row launcher, let alone one that slides out? Please validate things before shooting someone down.

EDIT: To add on to that, 5 row is a custom mod, nowhere claimed as Eclair.
[G1 Android Development] myn:
x2.

4 columns is SIGNIFICANTLY faster then 5.

Where is this configuration stored anyways? in /res or is it in the classes.dex?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Well, maybe that's the problem.

Since my first steps i've been using this scripts, so maybe i should change my workflow...

As i said, i'm too noob here and atm my workflow is this:

-downloaded full donut sources from cyano's github

-changef things onto launcher folder.

-run make -j5 Launcher

So i don't even know howto change things as signing settings and so on... just don't know where could i find docs... And putting "all" source into eclipse just hang the whole eclipse...

Any hints would be great!
[G1 Android Development] Brian_Fr:
And how to uninstall ??
[G1 Android Development] nonamer:
You didn´t make a backup? It was mentioned in the first post ...

Or install the original launcher again!
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
I have yet to download and play with the whole platform--I'm still working with just the SDK. Lemme see where the signing is on GitWeb...well, I can find where signapk is built, but that's not what I'm looking for. The build system is a bit convoluted, and Google Code Search isn't being as helpful as I'd like. Trying to decode a convoluted build system is too much like what I've been doing at work :) so I'll put this down for now.
[G1 Android Development] Brian_Fr:
Argh ! I can't install it, does it work on SFR(Vodafone) Donut Rom (French one) ?
[G1 Android Development] timkoss:
Its working good for me. thanks man
[G1 Android Development] myn:
Tested both A and B. Both work on TheOfficial ADP aswell as Warm Donut :). (Unlike .4 which didn't work)

Not sure if this is a placebo but B seems slightly faster?

Thanks again for all of your hard work.

How difficult is it to change the number of columns from 5 to 4? Is that configurable within the /res or is that in the classes.dex? As others have mentioned, the 4 Columns seem to render faster then the 5.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Inside launcher.xml, both layout-port and layout-land, inside res/

The only fifference between Test A and B is compiling under different trees. A was compiled from within cyanogen tree, B under AOSP tree... but exactly the same code for both...
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
If you want to be more sure, use Brut.all's apktool to get the original xml back. Note that either way you'll need to resign the package after editing the files.
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
I quite prefer the 4 icon (per row) launchers. Def a speed increase, even if you do need to scroll more to find your apps. Just imo
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
It's working fine for me. Did you flash a zip or install through the market?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
If you're trying to restore RC3 settings to the final build, you'll be waiting a long time. The package name changed, so the directory where the settings are stored is different. You can probably just rename it in the backup, if it's a .zip or .tar.gz or something, then restore it after it's been renamed.

You can find the new package name in the manual backup/restore info someone gave a few pages back, or you can look at the source.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
The lack of compatibility with MyBackup Pro is a more glaring issue, I'd say. That's the main thing that's preventing me from using the modded flashable versions, no offense intended.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
+1 That's the ONLY major gripe. Not being able to go from RC3 to Final with keeping the icons intact isn't a biggie.

Not being able to backup/restore however is... Totally don't feel like using BetterCut each time you flash another Rom (as I do that rather a lot...).
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
What is the problem backing up? Stay away from back up programs, which are made primarily for people not bright enough to do it themselves. Just copy and restore /data/data/org.adw.launcher/databases/database.db
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
None taken, but I guess I didn't understand the issue. Is the layout backup a special feature of MyBackup Pro, separate from general-purpose /data backup? If so, then it's probably a "bug" (or more accurately, misfeature) with MyBackup Pro, which shouldn't explicitly be looking for com.android.launcher as the package name, but should let you select from packages which respond to the "home" intent (whichever one that is).

I'm guessing to some extent, but this is the only change I've seen mentioned from RC3->final (the github repository is out of date).
[G1 Android Development] bert269:
Suddenly 'bettercut' stopped working

Hey

I just upgraded to the latest version (7.2 - flashable) and suddenly "Bettercut" does not create any shortcuts on the homepage anymore. NO messages, just no icons (normally when it creates an icon, it would respond back with the message - now nothing)......

Any ideas? It was working fine on 7rc3 (which was the one I had before 7.2).

Can I just flash 7Rc3 back over 7.2 again? Do you need anything (*logcat, etc) to help with this?

G1, Running on Cannon202 Eclair2.1.

Update: When I try to edit an existing icon/shortcut with Bettercut, I get the message "Unable to edit shortcuts for Android Home, if you are editing Open Home, you MUST install Open Home first. The easy solution is just uninstall Bettercut and the reinstall it (without uninstalling Open Home)"

It does not help, it FC's
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Nope, MBP has been able to backup home layouts from the normal Android Home application. And since ADW replaces that (in versions RC3 and below), it backs up ADW's layout.

With the market version, since the package names are different (to avoid conflicting with the Android Home), MBP neither backs up the home layout for ADW (instead, it backs up the normal Android Home's data, which is separate) nor does it back up the app data for ADW (since it sees that as the launcher).
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
You started with "nope", but then I think you said what I did? I'm lost! :confused: At any rate, if it's the package name that's causing the problem, then it's a MyBackup Pro problem, not an ADW Launcher problem. That's all I was really getting at.
[G1 Android Development] gper78:
I just flashed 7.2 coming from RC3, using Cloverdale's method of restoring the db settings. That works GREAT, but if I move any homescreen item to trashbin, the launcher FC. Anybody else seeing this?
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Sure, you can basically do everything by hand anyway. That's not the point. It worked flawlessly before, and now it does not. That's all.

To state that back-up programs are mainly for stupid people I find a rather strange remark. But hey, I might just be too stupid to understand it anyway, no?
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Perhaps it should look for that, but with MBP allowing devs to plug into its backup features, I doubt it's going to extend its flexibility any more. Just sayin'.

IMO, the easiest way to fix it is simply to create a flashable version like the RC3 and lower versions were, with the package name and such like that. It means maintaining two versions, but it might be easier than causing a hiccup like this with backup applications (because some people do use them).
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Double post, but I thought this was worthwhile to link here. Ander put it up on his twitter:

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/2010/05/updates-and-call-for-calm/
[G1 Android Development] amontem:
Thanks Doc, but it seems that with the high frequency of updates (which is a good thing), that I will have to install the app from the market anyways. Do you know if the market app supports MDPI or is it HDPI only?
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
That was not my point. Back up programs just lead to so many issues. If someone is smart enough to root their phone, they can figure out the proper files to back up. This leads to fewer problems.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
It supports both. I just do not like to give up space to hdpi graphics.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
It's always handy to have an automatic tool to do the work, even when someone *has* rooted their phone. Nothing wrong with using an application to do the same thing as pulling files.
[G1 Android Development] Estyle:
0.7.3 is very smooth and fast.. could someone make a flashable zip?
[G1 Android Development] tera89:
Any1 know how to flash this zip file via terminal???
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
There is something wrong with this. Either use stock ROMs, or do not use these backup programs. They back up more than is necessary, and cause so many problems when used from one ROM to the next. This results in half of the "bugs" I see people complaining to cyanogen about. If you do not know how to do this without an app, you should not be flashing ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
It has been up since yesterday. Check my theme threads.
[G1 Android Development] knny1491:
Youvjust have to know what u are doing. With titanium backup just dont backup system files, ad with mbp there really arent many ways to fuk up at all, only thig i can thig that would case bugs is the market links being restored.
[G1 Android Development] Estyle:
thx..lol:)
[G1 Android Development] blaze12austria:
Im running the new SuperBad1.4.1 with ADW launcher 0.7.2 and was wondering if anyone else has the same problem with the ADW launcher. I cant drop any shortcuts on the LAB or RAB anymore. everytime I try dragging a shortcut on the action buttons it pops right back to an open space on the homescreen. I tried to play around with the settings of ADW launcher and rebooted a few times already but nothing is working.

also, whether I check or uncheck the "Hide AllApps Bg" option in settings of ADW launcher, it doesn't do anything.

has anyone else come across those problems?
[G1 Android Development] Andrewtst:
If you are running Nexus One on Froyo ROM and love full of widgets or big 4x4 widgets, don't updates to v0.7.4 as it give you full of FC every single seconds.

I try uninstall, reinstall, result same as long as I add in full of widgets or full page 4x4 widgets.

Beside this, v0.7.4 is following LauncherPro idea which reduce the widget quality when scrolling page to page, you will notice a color banding issue, it is noticeable on stock music widget and stock facebook widget.

Dear AnderWeb,

Kindly check on it and I hope you taken out the scrolling idea as LauncherPro which having a strong color banding issue on widget when scrolling page to page.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Anderwebs has updated his github, and now I am compiling his ADW Launcher from source.

What does this mean to you?

--This is a flashable replacement Launcher

--It is compiled from source, so efficient with no extra bugs

--Bettercut can edit Icons :) (Reinstall if not working)

--Home screen backs up as before.

Get it here: G1/MT3G: ADW Replacement Launcher 7.4 MDPI

[G1 Android Development] Spado:
I'm trying to flash it in the recovery in my HTC Desire (DeFroST 0.4 Desire Froyo) but it gives me error (assert failed [...] getprop("ro.product.device") == "sapphire" [...])... Does it work only in Magic?

Also, I am 3 days new in Android scene and I'm beginning to find out all the things we have in this wonderful android scene :D, but I can't manage to resolve such a stupid thing: I first installed ADW Launcher (so all the times I was pressing home it was giving me the popup for chosing wich launcher use). Then I selected the stock launcher as default lancher (use always this app), but now I want to set ADW Launcher as default but I don't know how to do it cause I don't have to popup anymore!

Edit: I did it with home switcher on the market :P.

Edit2: It seems not to work in Froyo... It let me launch ADW and also seem to set it as default, but every time I press home I have again the stock launcher (so it has set ADW as default..)

Edit3: I finally managed to do it without any app: http://www.absolutelyandroid.com/how-to-change-or-clear-default-apps/
[G1 Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
ADW from market running great here on Desire with defrost 0.4

None of these banding issues or anything! :D

Go to settings->manage applications and delete the defaults for the stock launcher. You'll get the pop-up again after that.
