alright battery drain is almost like the normal launcher, 1 hour in sleep mode 3% of battery use.

Normal launcher would give me 6% in 10 hours of sleep mode. But is much better. Any other suggestions? Thank you
[G1 Android Development] damngood98:
yep, just reflash.
[G1 Android Development] kevdog:
Where does the .7.7 Standalone version install too? I can't seem to find it with /data/app or /system/app -- either that or I'm a moron! I used adb to install the app.

---Found it within /data/app -- Sorry!!
[G1 Android Development] BrandoHD:
The new option to change the selection color doesn't seem to work with widgets...
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
It's in /data/app, but when apps are installed, they get renamed to their package names as declared in the manifest, so you're looking for "org.adw.launcher.apk".
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Widgets normally have the selection colors kept within their .apk, the only one that goes off of the Launcher is the Search widget.
[G1 Android Development] jgcaap:
anyone know to explain what zoom efect is for?

What are preview screens? Thank you
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Zoom effect is how fast the zoom animation when you open the app drawer is.

The preview screens are what you see when you hold the dots or press the home button (and more recently multi-touch zoom) that gives you an overview of all of your screens.

hey i downloaded adw from market and installed and used it for a couple of days with the background it came with. I uninstalled it and started using nexus mod live wallpaper with launcher pro and sometimes when i come out of lock and it flashes to blue adw background and then it goes to nexus mod live wallpaper i was wondering why this is still happening after i uninstalled adw i please help maybe give me the file name for the wallpaper and i can delete it?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
When you choose a wallpaper, android stores it internally (i don't remember where atm). Your problem is not related to my launcher.

If you select a static wallpaper, and later switch to a live one, the "static" one still is referenced by the system in case the live one cannot boot, gets killed or whatever.
[G1 Android Development] knny1491:
I notced my old wallpapers dont pop back up until i sign into google, i think it might have something to do with the google sync? Who knows lol.

There's a donut version of 0.7.7 on market too.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Anderweb could you make a version that's "lite", but still has dots & docking tray, without some feats like overshoot,bouncing,etc.:o
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
You could use one of the .7 test versions, or the .6 line if you're on Donut. Those don't have the overshooting, bouncing, highlight colors, etc. They're a little buggier, but normal enough for everyday usage.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Thanks to Dr. Cloverdale for maintaining the flashable system version, and for updating it so quickly. :)

One small issue though. I uninstalled the Market version and then flashed the system version. It works great except now ADW still appears under the Downloads section of the Market as installed. When I click on it, both buttons at the bottom are greyed out so I can't do anything with it. Any idea how to remove it from Downloads?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
I know it's basic but did you try clearing the market cache? Or maybe Titanium Backup Free version has the market fixer in it? I can't remember but someone probably does.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Yeah that's basic, but I hadn't thought of either of those. :o I'll give them a shot, thanks.

EDIT: clearing the Market cache didn't work and the Market Doctor function of Titanium is only available in the donate version, but I don't use it enough to justify that. I'm open to suggestions.

EDIT 2: it's gone, thanks :)
[G1 Android Development] mgstealth:
Wheres the flash-able version of this to remove the stock launcher. Do I just rename .apk to zip and flash? I would like to get rid of the stock launcher and launcher pro that comes in CaNNoN202 Complete Eclair.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Here's the flashable system version of 0.7.7: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6699313&postcount=1512
[G1 Android Development] mgstealth:
Ok. I flashed it, however launcher pro is still installed but the stock is gone. Is there a way to remove the launcher pro as well?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Go to Manage Apps and uninstall it.

There's also removal terminal commands here, but I didn't find them necessary.
[G1 Android Development] mgstealth:
Thank you kind sir.
[G1 Android Development] ranjaheer:
Is there a flashable version of 0.7 for donut?
[G1 Android Development] smurf:
the Donut branch is 0.6 only...
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Not anymore! (Come on, keep up! :D)
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
The only thing missing is the "system" version for donut, but i don't feel like maimtaining another branch :-)

It should be easy though, just refactor package name and minor manifest tweak.
[G1 Android Development] ownjoouk:
Any other devs want to have a go at the system version for Donut? I wouldn't have a clue where to start or I would :(

Just gone back to Donut as I feel the G1 is struggling with 2.1.

The constant pushing out of memory of the launcher is something i hardly ever suffered under donut. I'm gonna go back to donut until aug when i can getter a better model.

Any devs looking into this would be amazing!
[G1 Android Development] Lyute:
+1 to system version of Donut.

Waiting patiently to test it for speed comparison between the stock launcher.

I like things fast ;)

BTW, is it difficult to have the "1 screen" option for the number of screens?

Would definitely love that option...
[G1 Android Development] s0mep00p:
is it possible to just pull the 1.6 market version of the ADW launcher and then push it to replace the system launcher?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
[1], but note that [2] and [3].
[G1 Android Development] Chididdy123:
Small little improvement: add some vibration feedback whenever you click and drag something around. But nevertheless amazing home launcher!

thanks!
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
FYI, the vibration feedback is present in the system version.
[G1 Android Development] ownjoouk:
Will this way keep the Launcher in memory or wont this work with it not being the correct system version?
[G1 Android Development] Jinson7:
Screens jumping

Since installing this as my home screen (from the market) I have noticed that some of my apps are jumping back screens i.e. If I open Market and then go to downloads select an app it would jump back to the market home screen.

Opened the original launcher just by using the home key and never had the problem.

Anybody else experience this?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I've been experiencing what you described with the Market, but didn't know it was because of ADW. Now that you mention it, that problem did start right around the time I switched to ADW.
[G1 Android Development] Jinson7:
I noticed it on other things too like Facebook. As I haven't replaced the stock launcher, if I switch back then I don't get the issue.

Other than that this launcher is awesome!! :D
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
It sounds like this is a problem unique to the G1 and MT3G.

[G1 Android Development] jgcaap:
thank you for the explanation.

I still didnt get how it works the zoom effect =)

When does someone develop the zoom option as iphone has (the only feature missing here ) for writting things ? That would be the best :P
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Actually, that's not an issue with ADW, but with Cyanogen 5.0.7. As both of you are using Cyan's 5.0.7 rom (or one based on it), that's the cause of the issue, not the ADW Launcher. I think there's a solution over at the Cyanogenmod.com forum.
[G1 Android Development] Jinson7:
Thanks for the info - it's stange that it is just with the adw launcher and not the stock launcher. Looking at the other comment looks like this is a memory issue.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Do you want the opening to be fast or slow? That's what it means.

[G1 Android Development] mramonks:
Thanks mate
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
I've tried this method with the donut ADWlauncher (actually named org.adw.launcher_donut.apk I believe) and it doesn't work. I'm getting some error relating to device cross link(?). Something of that sort.

Anyways I metamorphed it using Launcher.cpy method instead and it works. I just notice that the search button, for some reason, can't be metamorphed even if I morph the corresponding images in framework-res. The vibration feedback when holding a widget/icon doesn't work as well. Bettercut is not working as a result of the method I used to install the donut ADW launcher. If someone can provide a flashable alternative, that'll be great. Thanks D:

EDIT: Found my mistake. The search button image was located in the app itself :X
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Only thing I can think of that would give you an error like that is if you are using a2sd. If this is the problem then a

mount -o rw,remount /system

mv /system/sd/app/org.adw.launcher(_donut).apk /system/app/Launcher.apk

My search buttons are different so you're changing the incorrect images, the vibration doesn't work on market versions and bettercut doesn't work with launchers that have the package name as org.xxxxxx, needs to be com.xxxxxx. Not sure about a Donut flashable version, sorry.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Nothing can keep the launcher in memory (some experiments by Cyanogen notwithstanding); even the stock launcher is not exempt from the low memory killer. However, enhanced launchers use more memory in general, so you might see ADW get killed more often for that reason.
[G1 Android Development] ggrant3876:
I have a question, when I first flashed Cyan 5.0.8test3 the LAB and RAB showed a icon, phone and contacts. While I was setting up the launcher they are now just 2 gray squares, they still launch the phone and contacts. I would like the normal phone and contacts icons back. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

Got it sorted out now I can't get the dock no matter what I check.

Edit2.

Got it all sorted out now.
[G1 Android Development] ownjoouk:
I was referring to donut on this one. My launcher always stays in memory in donut (I went back to donut for this). Upgrading to desire in 2 months so for now I just want to stick with donut for an easy life. 2.1 is a bit laggy for my daily driver, as much as I enjoyed it.

On the system donut one 0.6.99999999 i have no issues with it staying in memory, so will moving the market one to replace the launcher stay in memory? This is why I wanted a system 0.7.7 for donut.

Thanks for your previous reply.
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
This is something really cool I found in the android themes section. Some guy was able to edit rosie.apk to allow for 4*5 spaces in the launcher.... Basically you could fit another 4 more icons in there without having to make anything smaller, just editing a couple of XML files. Can this be merged?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
I was also referring to Donut. The /system version uses less memory because it uses a shared uid. That does not "keep [it] in memory". I'm trying to be precise here.

I would like a /system of 0.7.7 as well, but no one (myself included) has stepped up to the plate to actually do it.

The "experiments by Cyanogen" was referring to some work he did back in the CM4 days to try to exempt Home from the low memory killer, but doing this had some bad side effects--score one for Google, here.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Doesn't ADW already do this? It has the Drawer Columns Portrait setting. Not sure if it resizes the icons but from the eye it looks like it doesn't (or if it does a very small amount).

And from some simple math it looks like we should be able to fit 6.6666666667 icons (320/48) without resizing (of course the icon labels won't fit).
[G1 Android Development] paul4762:
Quick question...

So I downloaded the app for ADW and did that whole terminal thing to make it the only home screen. Now if I flash an update to a ROM would it undo this or would it still get the updates from the market?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It will undo it unfortunately.
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
Yes, that feature has been out since advanced launcher. I am not talking about the drawer; but at the homescreen.

Look at that pick: 2 rows of 4 icons, a 2*4 widget, and a 1*4 widget.

Cyanogen's 5.0.8test2 and test3 include 0.7.7 system version.

If the app is stored in /system, then no, you will not get any updates. If stored in /data or /sd-ext you will. If you flash a new rom then it will be undone but don't worry lol most roms include it by default nowadays.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Ah, that's what you meant. Sorry, the second pic of the drawer through me off :P
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
Well either way I PM'ed anderwebs and he said he'd be adding it soon=p
[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
Your previous 0.4 APK wouldn't install from ADB (adb install -r Launcher.apk) but the one from Test B did (haven't tried A yet). No bootloop or black screen problem here. I am guessing the problems caused previously probably had something to do with the 0.4 APK not being signed properly.

Oh and btw, the improvement you have made to the visuals on the app tray over 0.3 is great. Keep up the awesome work!
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
This mod is excellent and one of the main reasons as to why I wanted to flash a Eclair rom. Now I don't have to. Real excellent work, very appreciated. And if you ever do want some "donation" love for yourself, I know I'll be there to add to the pot. I've donated to the devs (who truly do deserve it and dont get as much credit as they deserve) but this is just as worthy of donation as well.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Thanks! Btw, i wouldn't recommend that install method... will get you problems if you ever want to flash some other launcher...

Thanks bro, if sometime in the future i *need* donations, be sure i will ask for, but atm i no need money and few other devs out there contribute far too much to the community... so i'd prefer you all donate to them in my name :)

I'm gonna update the op with some untested things for you all :)
[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
Could you be more specific? This launcher, and the default launcher that comes with CM are the only 2 I have ever used, am I likely to have issues when I upgrade my rom?
[G1 Android Development] domenukk:
Thank you so much. looks awsome :D
[G1 Android Development] bluedragon1982:
is it possible to provide a metamorph mod with:

7 screens 5 columns drawer

7 screens 4 columns drawer

to make some i***** users unhappy :) ?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
If you install that way, it get's stored inside /data, so if you ever flash another launcher or rom without wiping first, things will screw up :)

I could, but needs more time, i'd need to readapt the "dots" images to have 7 indicators, andand things like that...
[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
I see

Now I have used that method, is there any way I can correct it?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Don't really sure...

maybe if you try this on ADB...UNTESTED

Boot into recovery

adb remount
adb shell "rm /data/app/com.android.launcher.apk"
adb shell "rm /system/app/Launcher.apk"
adb shell "pm uninstall com.android.launcher"

Then flash the launcher zip file... and cross your fingers...

BTW, you should have "nandroided" before installing my launcher for the first time... didn't you? :) Then you should do it this time too!! :P
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
I'm running

CM 4.2.5 and .4 works perfectly. The only thing I notice is my phone seems to take a bit longer when it first boots up and you see the screen for the launcher to become responsive.

However when its booted up my it seems to fly opening and closing the drawer and switching between screens.

Very nice Job indeed.
[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
Edit: Did have a nandroid of just before I installed this. Installed Package B using the recommended update.zip method. If you use dusted-donuts, you will need to reapply the dalvik cache fix as detailed in the dusted-donuts thread, otherwise appears to be have worked perfectly. Shall abandon the adb install method from now, as it causes a lot of problems.
[G1 Android Development] s0mep00p:
So I installed this via update.zip and it works wonderfully! Awesome job on this!

But when I tried to theme the launcher myself by switching up some .pngs and reinstall the launcher via terminal (cp /sdcard/Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk), it just wouldn't work for some reason, as if there wasn't any launcher for the phone to read... usually pressing the home button would work and reload it but it wasn't working for some reason and with a reboot, it would just stay on the boot screen.

btw, using this on Super D with WG kernel on a G1
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Sounds like you forgot the all important signing
[G1 Android Development] s0mep00p:
Isn't the signing just for applying an update.zip? The time it didn't work was when I just straight up copied it over, and from the past it has worked with all of the launchers I've ever used...
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
If you have ADB set up -- logcat it. Should help pinpoint the problem. Sometimes the error messages are even completely clear!

EDIT: Though based on what you just said, yeah, unsigned APKs (or broken signatures, which is what you'd have) will cause problems. All applications must be signed. There are special rules as well when you're dealing with system applications. Search for "testsigner.jar".
[G1 Android Development] yozpalang:
awesome work thankyou:D
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
It seems my "official" 0.4 package has some signing issues, so when you modify it (theme) it blows up...

Try to do the same with the test versions i pit on pages 13-14.

And seems the metamorpgs don't work either, i shall remove them...
[G1 Android Development] m3s_4ev3r:

[G1 Android Development] jfourman:
Drawer open/close behaviors are reversed for me

When I open the drawer, it opens instantly and the zooms out and closes. After a couple of attempts, it will zoom open and then stay open. When I touch the home icon to close the drawer, it disappears instantly and then zooms back open. It is as if the drawer open and close behaviors are reversed.

This behavior occurs in both 7.7 and 7.8. I am using Froyo 2.2 on a Mot Droid. I have the drawer defined to zoom open. I am using the vertical scroll. I have a Live Wallpaper running.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:

Turns out I had too little space left on /system to be able to flash the update.

Did it manually (after making some room) and that worked.
