After using it for a couple of hours here are my thoughts:

Very smooth, although it doesn't always recognize the swipe and I find myself having to swipe the screen 3 or 4 times to get it to move screens. Probably just because everything hasn't been ported over yet. The app drawer is cool and very customizable. I think it needs to have better control over how far it goes when you swipe to the next screen of apps. Again, probably just because of not everything "matching up" for lack of a better term. :p Also the little Sense UI where it pops up with the 5 screens doesn't work everytime I hit the home key. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that or not. I have never used a Sense ROM. Plus I like hiding the "dock." Not sure why, but probably just because I can't do it on any other dock/launcher...lol

All in all though I like it a lot. If everything can get smoothed out in terms of the swiping in the drawer and also on the main screens, this will be awesome!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mykenyc:
yep i can co-sign that. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
I'm starting to wonder if I should just switch to CM. :/ It seems everything's tested/developed to work on it, but not on Enom.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
logcats on enom's would help. I don't think i've used any "cm only compatble" code, cause this actual version was made merging some of the eclair aosp tree launcher code... so logcats will definitely helpme finding what causes the problem :-)

ah, for those users having "troubles" with swiping desktops... could you try disabling lwp support inside adwsettings and tellme if that makes some difference?

not having a nexus makes it difficult to test :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] masse1369:
I think that helps a little bit but it does still "miss" every now and then. Let me know if you want me to help you get this ported over to Nexus...I'd be willing to test just about anything for you...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
There's no error as such with Enom; it's just that flashing the zip doesn't do anything. Launcher2 simply remains in its original unmodified state. I'll experiment and see if wiping and flashing on a fresh ROM changes anything.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
this is actually pretty frickin' sweet. a lil bit of helix, a lil bit of 5 column, but fast as hell! took me a second to figure out the dock bar, but pretty nice option to have! getting rid of the underline under the action buttons would be my only suggestion...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
What happens if you adb push it?

If the update.zip doesn't work then somebody should post a recovery log (move log to your SD in recovery *before* you restart your phone) so we can see what's going wrong....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
I just adb pushed it...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
ah! thats the point!

my mod is not a launcher2 replacement, but a launcher "1" replacement.

after flashing/pushing it, you'll have both installed... just press home to pick.

If presing home doesn't show you the picker, goto settings/apps and clear defaults for launcher2. then click home button to see the "home picker"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Do not help, in some rom's this launcher is not visible. There must be some thing that identify the launcher as valid.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
if you pushed it, did you reboot after doing it?

i've found myself that problem after pushing launcher2.apk to cm5 rom and i had to reboot to get it recognized by android...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Yeah, download Home Switcher from the market... :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Yes, and tried pushing it, install with update.zip, rebooted, still not seen by home switcher .
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mykenyc:
i tried pushing it to replace launcher2 no luck. Tried installing just the apk no luck. if i push it the launcher doesn't load it just sits there and the only thing i can see is the notification bar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
if black screen shows... logcat should show anything too... sorry i cannot guess what's failing :-(

btw, i hope to release a hdpi compatible version soon...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Download a file manager and copy it over manually then...

Remember to delete any files with the same application name in these directories as well:

/data/data/

/cache/dalvik-cache/

Install an alternative home replacement *before* you do this and set it to default (anything will do). This is so if something f's up with the manual install you have something to fall back on other than an fc loop...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
0.7beta works fine mostly. (FCs on rotate with drawer open)

6/7 column drawer rocks!

Simply push it/or install it as an app. then press the home button to choose a launcher.

HOME-> new Launcher

LAUNCHER->System Launcher

I just need to figure out why my dockbar wont open, and I can add only 2 shortcuts (RAB and LAB I guess)

Edit: Found it, You need to swipe up on the square dock button.

Nice job AnderWeb!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xidominicanoix:
i know this is completely off topic, but anderwebs do you happen to know where the Launcher saves the pictures used in the photo widgets (to clarify: i have several photo widgets of my goddaughter on my launcher but ive lost the original photos .. i want to find a way to get those pictures back from the widgets to save to my sd card ;))
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Problem solved: installed another launcher.apk, and then this nice launcher ontop. Perfect :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
I have to say I'm kinda impressed... nice find, will use for a few days and see how it goes.

I don't really like the tiny action icons but functionally they're great so we'll see if they grow on me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
i really added them by petition, i usually have my dockbar open all the time :-)

damn, strange solution, i wish i knew why it didn't work without it... but hey, neat screen!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eViL D::
Can you send them to me?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Yes, mine's open most of the time too now that I've used it for a bit... am still hitting it for the draw though... :)

And the action buttons are a great idea, don't get me wrong, I couldn't do without them! I was just commenting really on the size/location. I'm just pretty used to Helix that's all.

This is already great work, with a little more refinement it'll be awesome, keep it up! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mykenyc:
was he using enom?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6411580&postcount=651

Its functional on desire to :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MANTISxB:
omg yes

Adding this Right Now!!! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mykenyc:
wow that's crazy that method worked cheers!

[edit]wow this launcher is amazing we need more people working on this to make this bad boy stable i'd def make this my default as it is now.

[edit2]ahhhhh this launcher is amazing i lovvve it good job dude very freakin good job so far good launcher and htc_ime almost there im so happy!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
It's actually quite stable already, for the most part. Fantastic job.

I must add my vote to people who would like to be able to hide icon labels, though, ala Helix.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Anderweb, is icon-text background transparency coming soon?

Commenting out a couple of lines should do the trick.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mykenyc:
I noticed one thing when enabling support to LWP when scrolling between screens the graphics on the widgets stay the same. When it is disabled the graphics lose quality when moving but when in a still state the retain quality back why is this? i know this is beta but I'm more so curious why it loses quality nothing biggie.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
hey, thanks for the hint, i'll take a look at it :-)

the different graphic quality is something i'm aware of, but still a "don't know why" thing.

The "disable lwp support" option turns the rendering system to the one used in donut. I thing there's something with the way android does the compositing with the wallpaper (lwp or static) that affects graphics with semitransparencies.

Coming from donut, this new mode looks "weird", but coming from a n1 user (used to this mode) the previous one looks "weird".

Btw, i hope to catch the thing causing it when i finish the eclair port of the launcher... remember this is still a donut launcher with merged eclair code, not the eclair launcher with my mods in it :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kimaro:
Is there any apk?

I don´t like to flash zip files cause I have had some problems with nandroid backups...

Is there any version uninstallable?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
not yet (aun no)

i want to make a standalone version when i finish porting 0.7
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Any chance to make the desktop to have "contentious" scrolling ala GDE or home+?

Would be a big killer :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Download the update zip, open it up and extract the .apk, adb push to /system/app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mykenyc:
okay and thanks for the answer i guess thats why even in the default launcher i always felt the way the background and foreground moved looked weird. I feel Google really rushed the launcher2.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
This launcher is AWESOME!

It seems more fluid like when moving around and I haven't got a single FC. Don't get me wrong I love and enjoyed the work that chronzz put into the Helix launcher line, but this one in my opinion is far superior!

If I could change anything it would be to have the mirrored app bar, on bottom of the home screen, set as default with the ability to say where I wanted the "All Apps" button to be: i.e. left, middle, right. Or just an option to select which apps bar I wanted to use defaulty and then use the swipe up to choose the other. I like the standard one, but miss the ability to add multiple custom apps to the bar, and when using the customized bar I miss the all apps button. Know what I mean :cool: Also the ability to remove the shortcut names. I like the clean look of icons and shortcuts without any text under them. You know, it's my phone and I know what the icon pics are for and what they do.

Anyway just throwing some ideas out there for future updates. Great work and keep it up please. To show my gratitude I'm going to put forth some cash towards some Stone Cold Icecream, don't mess with that Blue Bell stuff ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
thankyou for the feedback (and everything else ;-) )

i'd like to say your idea has awakened a few ones in my mind.

My code actually can do some of the things you say... so maybe i could add some things... :-)

btw, i'd like to ask everyone who wants comment about launcher features, bugs, etc, to go to the launcher dev thread and leave this one just for nexus specific problems.

I know my launcher thread is inside G1 dev forum, but as soon as i finish some things, i'll ask mods to move it to Android general forum so... :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] skimz:
My new default launcher! Can't wait for a more stable version. Only bug for me is that my 3g is a bit slower. Other than that it's freak'n smooth and fast. Thanks for the great work. Keep it up man!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
I was wondering it it's possible to edit your launcher to remove the text shadows like in the morph here posted by britoso and make them transparent.

If so could you post it please and thank you :)

Also what is up with the status bar loosing it's background? If I remove the status bar up top completely, in the ADW settings, the full wallpaper shows correctly as it should. If I put it back I get a black background status bar up top. In the lock screen it shows correctly though :confused:

This image has been resized, click here to see the fullsize original.

Keep up the good work and hope to see an update come out soon!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
The icons background morph could be done tha same way the one on your link by anyone with a little smali skills :-)

I'm not having the issue with the statusbar... are you using a framework theme/morph causing it?

Tested on cm5.0.6 with a desire statusbar theme and works allright... so don't really know...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Thanks a lot, AnderWeb, great job. :)

The most smoother launcher in Nexus One.

By pushing the Launcher.apk to /system/app/ I can remain my current HelixLauncher2 :D

Anyway ADW Launcher is my default Launcher now. :D

Suggestion: Inside launcher apps, possible hide all the widget/shortcut when using the background fading (untick the Fast Drawer) as those widget is making difficulties to see the launcher apps.

This ADW is pretty smooth and stable, I didn't get any FC once turn of the auto rotate screen for launcher. The only drawback I found is the Drawer animation is over lagging if apply.

Two type of drawer is available, you can choose either scrolling from top to bottom or choose the new Samsung GalaxyS idea which scroll from left to right.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MarkM83:
Could you upload the apk, you have extracted?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Just unzip the file, it is store inside the app folder.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Noticed this too, toggling live wallpaper on/off fixes it (in adw settings).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
this doesn't work with Enom's latest rom released today
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Yup I have to keep LWP turned on in ADW settings for it to work/show correctly. If I disable LWP than it goes back to black. No biggie, but I very much appreciate the tip. I've been going over all my custom images trying to figure out what broke it :confused:

PS - Offtopic

Thanks for the trans screen icons britoso! :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dictionary:
And this is sadly what's keeping me from using Enoms ROM. :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
That is strange, i do not use any cm specific code so it should work on enom's too...

Could anyone provide me a better description (or even a logcat) of the problem on enom's rom?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonym4n:
Crash with xscope

Edit: only when dolphin browser and xscope running at the same time.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
When I extracted the apk and try to install, it says can't install. When tried the recovery methods, says installation aborted

Sorry don't know how to get logcat
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Not for me. I had 4 tabs open in each at the same time. No crash. How do you know that ADW Launcher crashed? Did you get a FC? If you can grab a logcat and post it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonym4n:
It was Android.process.acore that fc when I'm running adw+dolphin+xscope.

After I uninstall any dolphin or xscope or adw, the fc doesn't show up anymore.

Launcher2+dolphin+xscope = no fc

adw+dolphin = no fc

adw+xscope = no fc

adw+dolphin+xscope = fc
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Installation instruction:

* Extract the zip file. (No need and don't install via RA-Recovery)

* Copy out the Launcher.apk from zip app folder to your Android-SDK Tools folder.

* adb remount

* adb push Launcher.apk /system/app/

* Touch the menu button and select ADW Launcher and tick it as default.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jrbourque:
so this has to be pushed to system/app? and i take it since its just launcher and not launcher 2 it doesnt replace it...or are we suppose to rename it? if it doesnt install over it we should be able to use root explorer for this and reboot right?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
doesn't work; i pushed it using the instructions given, but it doesn't work; i don't get any error messages, but there's no option to select the ADW Launcher; i cleared the default launcher as well as data, but still no option to select this launcher
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
It is launcher not launcher2 which means it won't replace your default launcher. (If you rename then it will overwrite the original one, off course you can do so if you confirm you will stick with this, as what I did to default launcher2, I overwrite it with HelixLauncher2)

If you dislike, you can always remove it via root explorer.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jrbourque:
could try to rename it to Launcher2.apk and have it replace the stock launcher...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Touch your home button, it will asking you using which launcher to choose. It is confirm 100% working, or else how am I able to screenshot on it? Make sure your adb is working and you are pushing the .apk file not the .zip file.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
when i click on home button, i get 2 options (HelixLauncher and Launcher, which is the default Launcher); when i had ADW on CM5.0.7t2, ADW would be labeled Home.

ADB is 100% working (i just pushed zimage and bcm4329.ko file for a kernel)

I also pushed the Launcher.apk file and not the zip file

maybe i can rename it to launcher2.apk and push it and see what happens

Edit: when i renamed to Launcher2.apk and pushed it, nothing happens; now, i only have the HelixLauncher as my only option
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Two launchers of the same type can't co-exist (as system apps at least)... so, if you're using HelixLauncher and ADW it won't work. However, if you're using HelixLauncher2 and ADW it will work. This is because they expose the same intents.

If you have HelixLauncher installed here's what I recommend:

Install HelixLauncher2

User Home Switcher to set HelixLauncher2 the default

Uninstall HelixLauncher

Install ADW

Press the Home button or use Home Switcher to select ADW

Renaming the apk won't do anything... it's the name of the intents (hard coded) that are used by the system.

Hope that works for you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
I have helix 1 and adw running installed in system/app without any issues...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
thanks for the info; so there's no way to have HelixLauncher with ADW? i actually like Helixlauncher over HelixLauncher2

may give it a shot

thanks again

Edit: didn't work; i cleared defaults; installed HelixLauncher2, uninstalled HelixLauncher and installed ADW; but nothing
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
that's interesting; did you push the ADW launcher by adb?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
No, i had to use a special way: installed a stock launcher.apk (by update.zip). booted up, used homeswitcher to enable it, rebooted into recovery and installed the adw launcher by a second update.zip.

Using helix 1 and ADW for some time without any problems.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
thanks for the info; do you happen to have a link for the stock launcher.apk update.zip format?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jrbourque:
what rom are you doing this on as well?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dictionary:
This blows LOL. I really want to give Enoms ROM a spin, but I've gotten so used to this launcher I wont switch lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6411580&postcount=651

I used it with Cyanogen 506 and Enom 181.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jrbourque:
awesome i can just flash the one luncher reboot and then flash the other? sweet deal
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
thanks a lot; this works now; just flashed the launcher.zip, rebooted, then flashed the ADW launcher.zip and now everything is working perfect, even Helix1
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Default launcher2 lives in system/app/launcher2.apk

Market Helix 1/2 live in app/launcher and app/launcher2.apk

The update.zip for ADW launcher pushes to apps/launcher.apk

I have Helix2, ADW, and Default launcher2 living harmoniously on 5.0.7.t2
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dictionary:
This worked for me as well! Beautifiul
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
The point is knowing why just a single flash doesn't work... but i can't guess by myself :-(

Anyways, i hopefully release a proper eclair port with better hdpi support by a day or two, and then i'll be moving on making a standalone version installable from market for non rooted users too...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dictionary:
Well if you have beta versions that you release before you post them up when you need testing, I'd be glad to. I'm not quite sure why it has to be flashed over the other launcher, but that resolved the issue for me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Waiting on it :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
looking forward to the new version; hopefully, you add the option to remove the texts from the icons/widgets/shortcuts on the home screens
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Rock on can't wait! :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Hi, AnderWeb,

My suggestion:

Try the LauncherPro and benefits from it idea. http://www.launcherpro.com/

Smart scenes jumping rather than scrolling all the way - this is the only part I dislike, I found it troublesome and slow when switching.

Smooth and pefect transition effect when opening the menu from launcher.

With above implement, your Launcher will be the perfect ever.:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
I tried launcher pro and found that adw is way ahead of it. uninstalled within 10 mins.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
I also, haha, the only I love of Launcher pro is the slick smooth transition effect and the way it interate when previewing 7 screen selection.

Hope above two will be integrate in coming ADW Launcher.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] leonnib4:
AWD Launcher still dont work alone on Enomther... please fix.

Thanks btw to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6411580&postcount=651as installing another launcher.apk then flashing AWD Launcher on it worked ;)

- recovery: flash launcher.zip

- boot, then use "Home" launcher

- recovery: flash AWD launcher

- reboot --do not change of home--

but please fix: this launcher is not recognized as a launcher!

GREAT GREAT Launcher!
