Yeah, I solved that. It wasn't an issue.. it was my fault when I setted stock launcher as default.

Anyway, the fault is in the cloverdale flashable version. It doesn't seem to flash here :)..

Yes, this is what I did :)... By the way this is what interested me:
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Very, very good. Thank you, Cloverdale. This is what I've been waiting for, and I'm pleased to say it works like a charm.

Just one bug/typo, the ADW Settings screen still displays version 0.7.3. Not sure if that's a result of your compilation or Ander's laziness. :P
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
I forgot to change the update script to allow for more devices. This will work with any devices if you push the apk to system/app. I will fix this today.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Updated to 7.5

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.

Is there a big difference whether we flash each update or just get it from the market?
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
What happened to the donut branch? Is it not being updated anymore? last I have seen was 6.999999.2 (Similar to that #)

edit: lol I just saw that a donut 7.5 was uplaoded to the market a couple of minutes ago. Carry on! :)
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Just released 0.7.5 donut version on market :-)
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
Thank you for the best launcher replacement available! And yes I have used Launcher Pro. ADW = Pure win!!!
[G1 Android Development] bert269:
0.7.5....is working.....

And so is the BetterCut shortcut creation and editing....

THANK YOU!
[G1 Android Development] Flash23:
ander, is there a difference whether I flash each update or install from market?
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Flashable donut version is not updated.

The election depends on personal preferences, both have pros/cons.

Flashable one is more complicate to install/update remove, but consumes a bit less ram... (someone told me that, i don't really know) :-)
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Market Advantages:

1. It is easy.

2. No need to check for updates.

3. No need to wait on me.

4. No having to flash from recovery.

5. You can switch between this and regular cyanogen launcher.

Flashable Version Advantages:

1. Less space is taken up since you replace Launcher.apk

2. You can use metamorph with this version.

3. Bettercut can be used to edit icons.

4. It runs from system instead of the sdcard (or data).
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Advantages to Market:

6. Easier to remove.

Flashable Version Advantages:

5. Uses less RAM since there are not two launchers running (System AND Market version).

6. Not put out by Anderwebs so it is already better.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Additionally, I have heard that anderwebs puts spyware in his market launcher. It sends your browsing habits to mother Spain.
[G1 Android Development] Flash23:
2 questions... Ander when you say remove with flashing what do you mean? and clover when using andew do i have to uninstall launcher.apk or do i just leave it a lone?
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
You just leave it alone.
[G1 Android Development] rgawenda:
:):):):):):):):):):):):)
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It also uses the browser to sign you up for midget and gay porn with your credit card. While it uses your credit card number it also donates one dollar to anderwebs paypal account ($1 for every time you have swiped home screens/moved through your apps/opened an app).

If you want to stop this, report it in the Market and use the flashable version by Cloverdale, your current finances depend on it.
[G1 Android Development] htcclay:
It's true.
[G1 Android Development] eessel:
AHAHAHAHA!!! You guys are TOO funny! lol
[G1 Android Development] MINUS Stl:
7. Using the flashable version gets you lots of chicks (except in JAguirre's case).
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Mmm, midget porn. Something for the neighborhood kiddies to watch. :p
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Because I'll be getting the sexy mothab*tches?
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
No, you get burly dudes instead. With beards and back hair.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I love a man with some back hair!
[G1 Android Development] knny1491:
Midget porn is half price right? Yeah i went there.
[G1 Android Development] rgawenda:
What? How is he going to get it ported to his new iPhone now?
[G1 Android Development] lash69:
Hi All.

I've got the same problem as in the quote.

I'm using SuperBad 1.4.3 which is using ADW Launcher 0.7.5, and I can't customize the LAB nor the RAB either.

Is there a particular way to do it?

I've tried dragging and dropping, and also looking into the ADW settings.

Thanks for helping.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
So who's going to be the hero who creates a recovery-flashable Donut version of the 7.5 build... It's "better" than the Market version for Bettercut/back-up reasons :D

ADW 7.5 on Eclair runs amazingly nice. But I also want this goodness on SuperD :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] pimpinpanther96:
i had the same problem too on cm 5.0.7. after a few minutes of dragging and dropping icons onto the LAB and RAB spaces they finally locked in there. to me, it just seems like its really sensitive when it comes to placing the icons in exactly the right spot
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
The only problem with that is when you disable the background images... try to disable that option, drop your app and enable it again till i fix that issue.
[G1 Android Development] trumani:
backup/restore settings/icons

Will backup/restore of icons/settings be present in future builds of this launcher? It is my favorite now but every time I reflash a new version of superbad or update from the market, my icons get wiped! =/
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Use titamium backup

:-)
[G1 Android Development] wipeout140:
Thanks for excellent launcher, i plan to donate in the coming days
[G1 Android Development] bugmenever:
Any chance of a flashable donut version?
[G1 Android Development] DesselNailo:
How do I set icons on the action buttons? It just deletes them when I drag them there.

Nevermind I figured it out.
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
The missing icon between the LAB RAB buttons is very confusing (for me at least). Would it be possible to have a whole bar, with a middle "home" icon?

Even better, would it be possible, to have 4 customizable LAB/RAB and the middle home one, so we can customize up to 4 actions?
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Missing icon? It shouldn't be missing. It should look like this:

See the icon between the LAB and RAB buttons? The cube/grid-like icon? That's what you press to go to the app list. When you're in the app list, it should change to a Home icon.

If you're not seeing that, then something's wrong with your installation.
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
I'm using Superbad5. It does not looks like that whatsoever.

Like that, but without the "grid" icon.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
That ROM includes this launcher by default, right? It's likely a ROM issue, not ADW or Ander's fault. Talk to the ROM author about it.
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
I assume Ander would know better. I'm not pointing fingers. Just looking for a solution ;)
[G1 Android Development] Ale-xs:
Good launcher, thanks.

Need more smooth animation effect like in launcher pro.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Htcclay removes the button, he likes that way :-)

Solution? Flash mine on top of superbad, or use ninjamorph/metamorph.
[G1 Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
Hi Anderweb

I posted this in the thread for the Market version already but not sure if you're reading that so.....

Please please please add the option to have 5 horizontal rows on homescreens

Already have ADW as default Lanuncher and i love it but that would make it "the one launcher to rule all launchers"

On high-res screens there's so much wasted space now......especially with the option to hide labels.

No idea if this would be a lot of work, i've seen it in another launcher (dunno which one though, tried too many) that had up to 6 columns and 6 rows.

I noticed that having too many columns messes up a lot of widgets because of text not fitting and such but 5 horizontal rows have no negative effect any any widget i've seen (and i use a lot of 'em)

I for one would definetly make a donation if this is possible 'cause it would end all my doubt about which launcher is best fit for me.

cheers!
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
If you want it like LauncherPro, feel free to use LauncherPro. No one is keeping you on this, anyways, I hear Launcherpro just got a big update with new features.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Yup, runs smoothly and finally able to fully customize the additional icons at the bottom.

Not possible to edit homescreen icons using BetterCut though, so uninstall after 20 seconds ;)
[G1 Android Development] brenopoubel:
make support with live wallpapers and i will use it.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Flash23:
ander do you plan on making your the launcher have 4 apps on the app bar?
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Perhaps you shouldn't.
[G1 Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
You do know there's already 6 on the dockbar and 2 on the LAB and RAB, right? Sure you can always want two more but i think it's a lot cleaner the way it is now. Just one flick and voila....six more apps appear :D
[G1 Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
Just a random question.

Do your metamorphs work ok on Desire?

I'm running Pays Sparta Rom, which is for Eclair but not sure which metamorphs are fit for HDPI devices (and ADW Launcher ofcourse)
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
All of my morphs are mdpi only. When I get an hdpi device, that will change.
[G1 Android Development] Flash23:
yea but for some reason i like it better with 2 on each side of the launcher haha its no biggie though
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
I could be wrong, but I would almost worry about creating more lag on the G1 with more icons attached to the launcher tab. (This is just a guess, so please do not flame me :), except JAguirre, I know you will anyway if you read this).
[G1 Android Development] Flash23:
im using the mt3g but not sure if it even matters... ill just have to get use to using the 6 app bar
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
He did, but he wasn't sure if they would work correctly so he made it a process in terminal to do it:

mount -o rw,remount /system (We need to mount /system as rewriteable so that the launcher may be changed)

rm -r /system (This will do something with the system to allow the magic)

cp /system/app/Launcher.apk /sdcard/app/

Now you will need to install apktool and do this in terminal/cmd:

apktool d Launcher.apk Launcher

Now code it in, which will be unnecessary as it has already been done for you.

apktool b Launcher

Grab the apk and reverse the steps above to put it back into /system/app.

I'm in a good mood today :)
[G1 Android Development] domenukk:
It's a lot easier on the latest version.

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -rf /system

That's all. Then just install livewallpapers from market ;)
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:

[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Wow, doing these both seemed to make lwp work very fast. Furthermore, it seems my G1 is now clocked at 1.5 TB.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
1.5tb!? That's a whole Terabyte more than I got, mind trading?
[G1 Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
Cool....let's hope you get an upgrade soon then! :D

You mean 1.5ghz, right? ;)

Will the 7.6 HDPI be available as .apk from market to? Does it make any difference for the way it's installed? An .apk is easier to uninstall although i'd probably only need to flash an older .zip to revert, right?
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
No, I meant 1.5TB, it was supposed to be meaningless.

The market version is always HDPI, check back a few pages, I outline the pros and cons of the two.
[G1 Android Development] klinster:
I'll trade you mine.

The only thing I don't like about this launcher is that, well, it doesn't flash itself. It should flash itself..
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Yes, but then it would be an active launcher, and everyone knows you often take after your coders. Which means this launcher is lazy, eating chips-sitting-in-a-chair-watching-CSI lazy.
[G1 Android Development] klinster:
Well I think this launcher is a bad influence on me. I've been doing that ever since I installed it from the market.

I better flash Dr. Cloverdale's to save myself.
[G1 Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
lol :D

Yeah but i'm asking as the market shows no 7.6 (yet)

Will it be available there or do i have to flash the .zip you just posted?
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
It shows 7.6 only if you are using android 2.1 or above.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
What's your preference of sentient computer awareness gone bad?

HAL9000?

Skynet?

Cylons?
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
Newbie question, but what are MDPI and HDPI?
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Basically:

MDPI = G1/Dream, Magic/MyTouch, Hero, Droid Eris, Cliq (and XT), Backflip, Legend, MyTouch Slide, Eve, Devour, Behold II, Galaxy (and Lite, Spica/Portal), Moment

HDPI = Nexus One, Droid, Droid Incredible, Evo 4G, Liquid, Desire, Xperia X10

That's based on resolutions, not testing. I don't know if ADW works on all those phones.
[G1 Android Development] ephayzee:
i dont know if this has been asked (i'm not going through all 141 pages) but can you tell me what weather/clock app you are using in your examples on page 1?
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Beautiful Widgets. The one showing is the "Small" widget. There is also a bigger widget included, that looks like this:
[G1 Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
I'm on a Desire, with 2.1 (for now) Think it might've something to do with my ROM though. I'm running Pays Desire Sparta ROM and i just found that i also can't find Google Earth in Market, had no prob with that on others roms i flashed. I'll look into it.....in the meantime i already flashed the zip anyway ;)

No fc's here btw.

edit:

There's no search results for ADW at all!! :( Must be something else wrong or just market being borked. It's not like ADW is one of the things that you can't find due to copy protection like google earth in some countries, right?

Weird...think i'll just try a diff ROM.....been using this one for 2 days already anyway :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] crupp:
How do I get the files on my incredible? Everytime I try and execute the .APK I get a failed messaged (I'm using the HDPI).

Any help would be appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
I think market is borked...
[G1 Android Development] domenukk:
It also works on LDPI, such as tatoo (low dpi). However no images for it are included. android scales them automatically :cool:
[G1 Android Development] AnderWeb:
Yeah, i had no time to make ldpi resources, so i just allowed ldpi on manifest so android scales them...
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
That's strange because my mt3g is now clocked at 1.21 gigawatts.

[G1 Android Development] SiRIus[X]:
i'm new to android.. so i read thru the instructions and did as said..

what do you mean by flash the file?

how to flash the file when i only have adw.launcherXXX.zip in my sdcard root.

can someone pin point me to the right derections pls :)
[G1 Android Development] smjfosho:
flash the .zip
[G1 Android Development] SiRIus[X]:
flash it in the safe mode? coz i can't seem to go into safe mode :(
[G1 Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
Flash while in recovery. Have you rooted your phone yet? If so, you should know how to get in recovery and from there coose "flash zip from sd card".
[G1 Android Development] SiRIus[X]:
huh? u mean we can actually root x10? i though we can't? :confused::confused:

the problem is.. when i follow the instructions i still don't go into recovery mode as mentioned (black screen) :(
[G1 Android Development] jasnmb:
SiRIus[X], have you tried downloading ADW Launcher from the Market? No need for root with that method. :D
[G1 Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
Oh sorry mate!

I sometimes forget not all the threads i'm following are from the HTC Desire forum :(

I got ADW running on that see...:o
[G1 Android Development] Tiger33:
what phone and which skin is that for beautiful widgets?
[G1 Android Development] SiRIus[X]:
i know that can be done :)

the problem is why i can't go into recovery mode? i tried connecting my phone to the update software and it connects, but the screen remains in pitch black..

if i follow the steps normally i will be rebooted straight away without entering recovering mode! this is so frustrating

its alright.. i've got it.. jz feels frustrated coz i can't enter recovery mode.. why in heck :(
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
HTC Magic (MT3G) and the tf2Transparent skin.
[G1 Android Development] jgcaap:
Hello. How are you? First of all thank you for programing the great ap ADW Launcher for our community l. I'm contacting for a reason wich i hope there can be a solution as i found much fun your launcher. I have downloaded your launcher from the market to the Cyanogen 5.0.8 t1, (also tested on 5.0.7) and happens that on both i have alot of battery drains while using the launcher. I can confirm this because i tried to use for 30 min the 3G internet option wich used around of 15% of my battery, and now i decided to use the default launcher, and made a new test for 1 hour with GPS+screen on+3G+google maps, and lowered only 6% . Do you know the apparant reason for this to happen? Do you think you could have a look ? Thank you :)

Best regards,

Jorge Pereira
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
If you want to lower the battery drain, I would suggest you use the flashable version. If you install the market version, you have at minimum two launchers running (The stock and the adw.launcher).
[G1 Android Development] vincentandyun:
advices

hello,i want to give some advices for you.Can you make it possible to change the wallpaper of the drawer,and to sort the apps in drawer as we like ?If so,it will be better.Thank you for you work;)
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
You know, I didn't realize that. I thought when you selected ADW as your launcher, that the standard Home launcher was closed.

The only downside to the flashable version is since Ander comes out with updates so often, it'll mean a lot of flashing!

EDIT: I see the APK on his website, but I'm assuming that's not any different than the Market version. I thought I read somewhere that Dr. Cloverdale makes the flashable version. Where can that be obtained?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
You can also just download the market version then do this in terminal:

mount -o rw,remount /system

mv /data/app/org.adw.launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk

This will use the market version as the system Launcher, and get updates from the market (and not have two launchers running).
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
That's certainly easy enough. :cool: I'm curious though, if it's that easy to make the Market version the system launcher, what's the point of the flashable ZIP?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
The flashable .zip doesn't make people open the scary terminal AND it allows for bettercut and backing up of homescreens.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
The flashable version is slightly easier.

The version included in the zip is intended to be a direct replacement for the standard Home; it uses the same package name (com.android.launcher) and uses the shared UID for acore. This makes it slightly more efficient than the Market version, even if the Market version has been installed to /system/app, as the shared UID saves a Dalvik VM instance.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
So the terminal commands the JAguirre posted make the phone think the Market version is the standard Home launcher, but the flashable ZIP actually does that? I don't care about Bettercut, but it sounds like the flashable ZIP might still be the way to go. I'm not sure how it's easier though, since the terminal commands still allow you to easily update through the Market.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I just ran those commands and ADW is working fine, but now it doesn't appear under Downloads in the Market. Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Odd, mine does.... or did, I prefer the replacement.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:

I re-installed it from the Market, but now I'm afraid I have two versions of ADW running at the same time...the system version your script created and the Market version.

How do I scratch everything I just did and switch to the flashable replacement? Flash the ZIP and then uninstall the Market version?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Or uninstall than flash the .zip
[G1 Android Development] eessel:
thanks for the zip, Doctor..and thank you Andy for the great launcher! :)
[G1 Android Development] xdd:
A big thanks to Anderwebs and Cloverdale for their work.

Does this work on Donut ?

I am going back to supercsdi, 2.1 does not work too well for me.
[G1 Android Development] iridaki:
Hello!

I am desperately trying to find the latest market version apk for Donut,

because I love this launcher but I don't like the orange highlight element,

it doesn't look right on my Xperia... So, I want to modify the apk a little,

then install (cannot flash as no root achieved yet :()

Anyone???
[G1 Android Development] jgcaap:
Even if you close the launcher.apk with an end task ap and put to open on demand only It'll still load? Because i have here 3 launchers installed.

Stock

Launcher Pro

ADW launcher

I used firstly launcher pro, wasted me around 20-30% battery life in 1 hour with almost doing nothing.

Secoundly used ADW Launcher, it was much better the battery life, but still having some drains.

The Third, have absolutly no problems.

If i replace are you sure there wont be battery drains?

edit: tried to mount withterminal emulator gave me error if i was rooted. i would request if possible someone could explain me if there is soething wrong. the Superuser app didnt pop up (its time for me to understand the terminal use :P lol hehe 9 thanks =)

edit2: was explained for me to use su command first. I inserted as suggested, gave me an error. I installed the zip version now. Lets see how it'll work. :)

edit3: works good. now testing to see if there is any battery drains :)

question in orther to update just reflash the zip right?
