Ahhh, my bad. I just noticed the new behavior last night and before chalking it up as a cm6 thing figured i'd check your github, and saw the entry regarding hiding/showing based on whether it was default or not and jumped to conclusions. It's a minor thing, obviously, with decent enough workarounds available, so no big deal really :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
if I can remember, is cause the framework one is private (i mean an app cannot access that image from the sdk) so the standalone versions cannot use it :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
Weird, because the other icons work from framework sources. Such as, add, wallpaper, and settings.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
Yeah, is weird ...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
My guess is "security precautions" since apps aren't supposed to be able to access notifications, that might as well extend to anything notifications related.

FRF91

Is it just me or is ADW very sluggish and unresponsive in FRF91? ADW 0.9.0
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crazybyte:
Could you implement folders in the app menu? It would be nice :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lou2s:
I don't hv this problem. ADW 0.9 is running so smoothly that I m actually not looking fwd to an update!

I m running stock FRF91 non-root, having 7 widgets on 3 screens (including some big ones).

Hv u tried uninstall and reinstall ADW and set up the screen again? After updating to FRF91 hv to wiped the cache partition? These may help.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] krasool:
would it be possible to add folder and hide app menu like in advanced launcher? It is quite useful to keep the backend and non-frequently used apps hidden and organized. Otherwise I have to go through list of 200 apps in the drawer to sometimes find one app.

Can we have folders? submenu and hide app functionality for ADW launcher?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] murmeljenta:
Hi,

I love this launcher, but after a few days using 0.9 on my X10, I have started noticing some problems:

Sometimes the status bar disappears. The wallpaper covers that area. I can still pull down the status bar. When I do so, I get a blank space where the status bar normally is. I have checked that "hide statusbar" is unchecked. I have changed wallpapers. I have restarted the phone. The problem comes back.

I haven't set any of my widgets to take up a different amount of space than their preset. However, when I restarted today, a couple of widgets had new sizes. The X10 quick settings bar (wifi/GPS/etc on/off) was stretched horizontally onto the neighbouring screens. The default calendar and Astrid were both stretched vertically.

I hope this can be solved, as I really like ADW.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kolyan:
+1 need this myself
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Yes please, this would be huge enhancement. I could forego the folders but hiding (not disabling) apps in the drawer would be very, very handy.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paulk_:
Not sure about your widgets problem, but your status bar disappearing is probably due to the default action for swiping downwards, which is to hide/unhide the status bar. Check that in your ADW options.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tingen:
1+ for that.

I Will also sat that pro launcher has a better scrolling. I have tried to change the settings on adw. But i can't get the same.

Nevermind.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] g351427:
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can troubleshoot some problems with this launcher? All I have is aLogcat. I have worked with the dev a bit and he seems to think I have a poorly coded widget causing problems. So, I went and reset the settings for the launcher and added the widgets back one by one, but I still had problems.

It seems to terminate unexpectedly several times a day with no warning or error; I just see the homescreen rebuilding.

Sometimes I get a logged error: !!! failed binder transaction !!! for the ADW process ID; since the reset, it still terminates but no longer throws that error.

I added the widgets one at a time until I got a failure, removed that widget but the problem still occurred. I also did some testing with the stock launcher and had no problems with all of the same widgets installed.

I am running FRF91 on a stock Nexus One on T-Mobile.

I love the **** out of this launcher, but ever since 0.8.7 I have been having this problem. I really want to get to the bottom of this no matter what the problem is.

Thoughts?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lou2s:
I had the "homescreen rebuilding" problem with 0.87 and 0.88 (not sure abt 0.89), but with 0.9 I am a happy man. The problem has gone with exactly the same set of widgets!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
Asi told you by email, the launcher rebuilding is an issue if you use persistence mode. Disabling it should solve it.

The failed binder issue has nothing to do with the rebuilding one (afaik) and thats what I pointed you to.

Maybe continuous messing with settings could cause some thread to be killed or just a bad widget refresh.

Add your widgets, disable persistence option and reboot your phone. Then check the behavior without messing with the settings to see If you can reproduce the issue and report sack.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Deathwish238:
Is it possible for this to be as smooth as LauncherPRO?

How many widgets should we stay under? What about with 5x5 homescreens? It seems like too many widgets can make the launcher choppy.

What does it take to run as many widgets as I want and have smoothness? A more powerful phone?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
Don't really know the problem you're having. I can fill 7 screens with widgets and it is still smooth...

Are you using the default ADW settings?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Deathwish238:
I'm not using the default settings...5x5 homescreens, 7 of them is a pretty big change.

Any chance it's the kernel I'm using? Pershoot's 2.6.35 UV/OC.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tingen:
Will it be possible to lock the background as in pro launcher?

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codito:
On a stock Droid I set this up for my friend because LauncherPro was causing constant FC's (God knows what she did to her phone, she's not too bright.) It's MUCH laggier sliding between screens. Still a fantastic effort and much better than stock though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] g351427:
I don't have the persistence option enabled, and in your email, you mentioned the Orientation option which I have disabled in ADW.

When I went through the troubleshooting, I did everything one step at a time, I did not mess with the settings in between (I set them to my preference first thing) and the problems persist. I reboot the phone 2-3 times a day now because it seems like ADW will not rebuild as frequently after a fresh reboot. Maybe not, just seems like it.

I have done what you suggested, and it makes no difference. The homescreen will continue to rebuild itself periodically.

After the reset of ADW, the Failed Binder Transaction is gone. There are no longer any ADW related errors in the logs.

I came to the forum looking to see if there were some more advanced things I could do to track down the cause of the problem, because all I have been able to do is reinstall, reset to default, etc. Please know, I am not accusing ADW of being the problem; I fully accept the possibility that another program is at fault, possibly a widget that doesn't like the 6x5 screen mode I am using. But there has to be a way to narrow that down and this seemed like the best source of advice.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
Sorry, the binder error message confused both of us.

Your case is strange. I have the standalone version ruining on my n1 and hardly ever rebuilds unless I change a setting requiring it...

Usually when the launcher rebuilds (without fc or error shown in logcat) is cause it gets killedby android os on low memory conditions.

check if you run any app too memory intensive/maybe faulty on your phone.

Sometimes it also rebuilds when updating a market app (mainly widgets).

Dont know what else could be...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] g351427:
I would agree that it must be a low memory issue.

I have been thinking about factory resetting this phone since I have not done so since I bought in March. It's a good opportunity to weed out the apps I don't need anymore.

I will do that next and post a note if I still have issues.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
I don't know why some guys think, ADW is not fast. On my N1 ADW is very fast with the very nice looking new drawer and it's possibility to make it transparent.

Anderweb, thank you for this great launcher.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Disable "Tint AB"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
Froyo search widget is no more on the launcher, but a separate apk.

So if you install my launcher (or other launcher) you'll probably have 2 search widgets, the one from froyo and the one from launcher...

But i cannot test cause froyo avd on sdk doesn't contain the google's search apk....

Oh, on a good new: gonna release it as a standalone apk installable from market really soon :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Love this launcher, the best launcher for android :)

One req tho: can you make the rab/lab icons bigger?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
Yeah, that's gonna be an option soon :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Wow! thanks, waiting on the market version :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bengaal:

oh great! can't wait
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
07rc3 not functional on froyo, seem that the alternative one is close tho

Only bug seem to be a timing error, i need to hold down the tray button bit longer to open tray. If i press a short press it only flickers the tray
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] donwhall70:
Great launcher... Thnx!

I am at work so I haven't gone through the whole thread but has anyone noticed the launcher button glow is a bit off center from the button when pressed?

Amazing this is the only slight issue I've had with this...

Keep up the great work!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dashed:
Its seems to be working fine for me on modacos froyo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Very strange how did you install it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dashed:
flashed update.zip from recovery.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
Lol, you are missing a concept:

If you press the button you open the app drawer.

if you flick/drag it upwards your buttons dissappear and the dockbar shows up. You can put upto 6icons in there and fling/swipe it down to close it :-)

So longpressing the button does nothing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
No, the behaviour is very different from my Desire, a clear glitch when used on a nexus with froyo. The tray is very tricky to use on froyo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bigballa:
the alternate froyo version is working so smoothly on my nexus one 2.2 modaco pre rooted version

its smooth enough and not so buggy

im setting it up for everyday use

if i run into some bugs or feature requests ill post them

thanks man
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jasrups:
Wow awesome, so far works great on FroYo! Great job man!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Update, found the error: when disabling the dock the apptray get strange.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jasrups:
Yup I noticed that as well. Also, the dock got a little screwy on me, the Icons went off the screen and I was unable to access two of them. Had to delete all of them and place them back in (had the 6 max in there).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
Define "strange" please :-) i cannot test froyo (only on the avd) so i need all the help i can get :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Yeah, ADW is great and fast.

Probably some users disabled "User screen cache" which makes it "slow".
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
Each phone is a different world, even the same phone model acts different depending on the rom, apps installed, "themes", etc.

Once I made a stress test, adding 16 graphic/memory intensive widgets to a 7 screen 8x8 adwlauncher and it was horrible..... ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lou2s:
Completely agree!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I'm on a MIlestone 1ghz which should be faster than the 1ghz snapdragon. ADW is not THAT fast. It's damn fast in general but once you load it up it gets pretty slow.

I have an identical homescreen on Launcher Pro customized. And if you saw how LP doesn't even stutter one bit once loaded up, you'll see ADW is somewhat slower.

ADW is fine for most people, but if you have enough widgets, it bogs down. And yes I have screen cache on....

But still, remember ADW is faster than all the other replacements like Helix and stock, so be glad we got this! Thanks AnderWeb!

BTW, any word on implementing that "hack" that LP enabled for Droid/Milestone users that speeds up the experience?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
I don't know what's that "hack" so I cannot implement it. If you find info for it, I'll be glad to add it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
The LauncherPro site said this in their 0.6.3 release:

-Added a “Motorola Droid hack” option under General Settings inside the preferences. If you have a Motorola Droid or Milestone, you should check this for improved scrolling performance. If you’re running a custom ROM, you might want to check the performance with this on and off, if there’s no visible difference in scrolling smoothness, disable it.

Not sure what that means specifically but yeah....

Somehow I felt that LP became faster for me... not sure if that's just a placebo effect thing though :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] g351427:
Hi.

I went ahead and erased the phone and loaded up only the apps that I use regularly.

Here are some things I noticed:

1. ADW still rebuilds the home screen periodically. Seems that when the phone is left for a few minutes with ADW not being the foreground process this will happen.

2. If the OS is killing ADW, I am not sure what Android uses for a low memory threshold. One of the things I started doing as a test was to leave OS Monitor running in the foreground, letting the phone sleep for ten minutes or so, then checking it occasionally to see if the ADW process was running. Even with ADW running, the free memory would be anywhere between 140-170 MB.

3. ADW seems to have two processes running; one is about 30M, the other 45M, as seen in OS Monitor. Does that seem like a normal amount of memory in use?

I have not done a whole lot of fiddling with widgets over time. I have had pretty much the same setup for a while and only recently has this been a problem. I completely removed ADW today and started using LauncherPro with all the same widgets to see if it gets killed by Android when the memory gets low. At one point the free memory went as low as 139M and Android did not kill LP.

I know I am probably annoying you by now, but I am trying to be as helpful as I can with patterns, info, and logs that I know how to get. If you had some suggestions as to how I can get more info, I would love to hear them.

If it matters, I only have 3 home screens, and 7 widgets loaded. Believe me, I'd love to be more of a power user, but there is not enough storage space to install too many programs on this phone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
@g351427: Remember there's a persistent option with ADW. I do notice ADW gets killed off by Android a lot more. Going into Market sometimes results in a rebuild of the screen.

Yesterday I switched to LP and tried going for a bit. I haven't been back to LauncherPro since 0.3, but here I am again. I rebooted my phone last night and I totally forgot to re-overclock my Milestone. I was running 550mhz all morning and I noticed how SMOOTH LP was. I then asked my self "Hey is my phone at 1ghz or 550." I checked and to my surprise I was running fine at 550mhz. Wow Launcher Pro!

Anyway, I too am curious about this memory issue and ADW versus LauncherPro. But maybe you have persistent mode disabled on ADW but you have that option enabled in LauncherPro? But I do agree with you see fewer rebuilds on LauncherPro meaning Android seems to kill it less. I have persistent mode disabled on both launchers....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jmbrown32:
In the last day I installed and set up both ADW and LP and I've got to say they are both great! Not sure how I'm going to pick one over the other, but I'll probably go ahead and donate to both devs for doing such a great job.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jimbobalu:
I think ADW and LancherPro should get together and make a lovechild. There is so much I like about both. LancherPro is faster and the dock is great, ADW has the icon resize and swype that I love.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
First to say, adw cannot have 2 processes open. its just once acore process for adw itself.

Second, my n1 with the market adw version has not been killed never by the os...

Third if you use the persistence option and open an app that puts the phone in landscape mode, returning home may kill and rebuild the launcher. I always discourage the persistence option.

Fourth and last: the only way for me to track your issue would be getting a logcat when the launcher2 gets killed. Just the logcats events of the kill and rebuild. Any other logcat info (as the binder one, etc) wouldn't be useful....

Thanks again for testing, hope we get the solution! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
I meant that I don't know what "the hack" is, so I don't know howto add it :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] m00moo:
never really used this launcher due to the ONE fact it cannot have more than 2 shortcuts on the default dock (so two on either side of the app drawer). If you could have that it would be great and i would consider this over launcher pro.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
You should probably try it out before you post stuff like this. Even though I use LP primarily for speed and other reasons, ADW CAN have 4 items in the dock just like LP and you can add UNLIMITED apps in the "hidden" drawer...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
Ooold news and no longer true
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] m00moo:
my bad. never noticed the darked out option below the AB. then when i did i didnt know how to enable. bit confusing maybe have it not darked out but when you click it will notify the user that enabling this option will disable the dots.

thanks

Disable desktop dots and enable secondary action buttons.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] karnovaran:
If you can hide the status bar, is there anyway you could ever create a customizable replacement with the same functionality as the stock version? One of the main reasons I root my phone is to change to a black status bar. It would be nice to know ADW can give me a black bar without root in case I ever switch to a locked down Motorola.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
LoL. I know what you mean. I wouldn't be able to tell you either as I'm no developer. I suppose it made it easy for the LP developer as he has a Milestone himself...

how does adw launcher updates work with CM? do the updates update the built in adw launcher or will i have to change my homescreen to the newest version in order to utilize the extras?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
I've tried the springpad app with a few launchers and almost all shows the same fc. Seems that app is using some nonstandard permission. The only home app i've seen to not FC is openHome.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
You will need to either set the new adw app as home or remove the adw app using adb and replace it with the new one. This is because the one with CM is in /system/app where the market apps get installed in /data/app
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] seeking:
thanks for the help. If i replace it in the system/app folder locaton do i lose all of my set up homescreens?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
If you are already using the one in there no you do not. You can always backup settings/icon placement (from within adw launcher settings) just to be on the safe side.

I use the system only version and after backing up I simply just:

adb remount

adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

I'd hate to have to learn to code to change that color...

Stupid question....I was using /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk from CM6 and the /data/app/org.adw.launcher-1.apk from market. Useing one as a work homescreen and one as a home home screen. How can I update both to 1.0? If I copy the market one to system/apps then only one appears in the select how to complete this action popular box.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
I think I have gone blind. I can't find the download link. did AnderWeb take it down to fix the widget long press?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
I had a problem that it wouldn't show as an update in the market. I had to search for it myself and install, but it really just upgraded it. Try searching for it and manually installing it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
downloading from the market would cause two ADWLaunchers wouldn't it? I'd rather push the apk over ADW on CM6.

edit: its included in the new CM nightly. :) thanks to AnderWeb for fixing the widget touching the status bar.

it used to bother me seeing BW touching the status bar but now it's positioned fine like stock launcher.
