ive had the same issue with apps disappearing and what not from apps saved on SD. All you have to do is menu>settings>applications>manage applications>ADW Launcher>Force Stop

wait 20 seconds or so for ADW to restart and all is well. To say we shouldnt save our apps2SD or have it default is incorrect. That is a future on Froyo so it should work fine

You mean 4 in total ?

Not sure it will come...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stephen2529:
hi guys

really like this app just a quick question though. how do you remove apps from the rab and lab? also is there a way of putting the htc widget on this?

failing that where did you get the ones on the pics in the first page?

thanks for a fantastic app. i will be donating
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
The update is out. It's here. 4 Action buttons FTW!!!!!

Request: I kinda miss the desktop dots. Any way you can throw something in similar, maybe more compact? The buttons on the bottom are tiny anyway (at least compared to LauncherPro), and I feel like they coudl be more compact and you could put more stuff there with the amount of free space on bottom dock.

Another request: If we want to disable the extra +6 buttons on the dock, I would like to be able to PULL the app drawer up.. kinda like the stock launcher or Helix. I still pull up a lot and I always confuse it with the extra buttons. I didn't particularly like LauncherPro only allowing us to tap it and not pull up when that arrow specifically is drawn in an up arrow...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheWanky:
Woohoo, 4-button ABs! The best launcher is continually getting better, and I'm glad for that.

However, (there's always a however) the latest update seems to have broken the alignment on non-icon desktop items. In img813.imageshack.us/f/device.png/ the non-widget items are 3-4 pixels above the widgets (Phone and Messaging are SMS Unread Count, folder is FolderOrganizer Label, Gmail is Gmail Unread Count). The misalignment gets worse when you add more desktop rows/columns.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
if you dont mind me asking, where do you get those android icons? i like those, id like them for my incredible.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crachel:
I'm getting the misalignment too

v0.8 by AnderWeb release.

• v0.8 ability to backup / restore ADW Settings & Desktop Configuration

• v0.8 added options for having 4 actions button in dockbar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
will there be a flashable (system-app) version for CM5.0.8 test 5, in which v0.7.8 is already the inbuilt launcher?

intrigued with the 4 action buttons
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hktony:
the new version is sluggish, i dont know why too ..:(

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
noticed a bug

Weird support about icons vs widgets. A lot of us use widgets like SMS Unread or some sort of widget for an icon to replace our icons, giving us a counter for # of missed calls/emails/SMS... however, widgets are treated as a different size as shortcuts? I just noticed this in 0.80. I believe this is a new bug.

So I have a GMail widget with a counter and a regular email shortcut for Exchange, and it seems the two icons sit at DIFFERENT levels. One is like 1/3rd icon height higher (same size, diff position) than the other. It's kinda annoying because that row of desktop icons has 1 icon that's sitting higher....

When you long press a shortcut you can see the highlight reveals there's a large area under the icon that gets highlighted. This does not happen on widgets that act as shortcuts... Odd.

See? That's what I mean.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
I've already fixed it and will release it later today.

Anyways i left it as an option, cause the new settings to select rows/colums may create overlapping items if you select too many rows/columns on our small screens.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SBS_:
The new version is nice, but why is the scrolling speed between home screens so slow? I have it to max (2000) in settings, but it seems to be exactly the same as to have it on, say, 800. It was much faster flicking between screens in the previous version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
Scrolling speed is inverse. Lower the value, faster the scroll
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
last version resets my screen numbers to 6? testet on 2 devices which had 7 screens before .. after update i had to change the settings from 6 to 7 ..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SBS_:
Ah, silly me. I guess the default is just slower in the new version :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
Yeah, cause i lowered min to 1 desktop screen. But change it once and you'll have your screen again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jonata:
any news about flash update ? I'm with 7.07 system and need the new version like system app and not standalone...

it's possible ?

tks very much
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] katiepea:
Re: ADW.Launcher v0.8 done by AnderWeb not Andrewtst is out! (Fully support Froyo!)

Great updates lately, scrolling widgets is rad. Exiting applications seems a tad slow, there's a noticeable pause.

Sometimes when I screen preview widgets end up covering where the preview Windows should be. Hard to explain, that and widgets stop scrolling when I try to scroll fast like it misinterpreted that I was trying to keep scrolling and not just stop.

"clean screens" no longer works

Besides that, it's now officially replaced launcher pro for me.

Already got the update! Thanks! I love waking up to a new ADW update :D Pwahahahahahahha
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asscobb:
Love the new update. Having the 4 buttons at the bottom instead of 2 is amazing. I am in love with this launcher.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
v0.8.1 added ability to enable or disable icons/widgets stretching. ;)

I switched from 7 to 5 screens and after that back to 7 and now i have 2 new screen only at the right side.

How can i fix this ?!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jonata:
AnderWeb :

first, my compliments for your work !

a question : it's possible to have zip update of new 8.01 ?

if I download the new from market and install it , I have two launcher : one like system app and another one like standalone ...

how I can resolve this ? :confused:

Tks again

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Restart the phone still same?

If yes, then just uninstall and reinstall.

** I never face such issue b4.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mgorman:
Im having a problem with bettercut. I'm not sure if it's due to CM 5.0.8-T5 or ADW launcher but I cannot create shortcuts to phone or contacts. It tells me that the application does not exist when I click the link. This was never a problem before.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mgorman:
Could you also make it so that the app tray can loop from the end to the beginning so if were on the last screen and we swipe once more it will go to the first screen. Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Use FolderOrganizer.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kitsunisan:
God no. I'm starting to worry that there is too much going into these launchers as it is, this one isn't nearly as smooth as it used to be.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asscobb:
I haven't noticed any performance issues with this launcher at all.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Can the developer comment on smothness/speed of the latest versions? I know in LauncherPro we saw some dropoff in smoothness (Yeah I love watching for ADW and LP updates and I swap between the two but 98% of my use is on ADW still). I noticed that this dropoff in smoothness came with scrollable widgets and the developer for LP implemented a way to disable that to bring back the old speed.

I'm wondering if this has had some effect on the ADW smoothness also. Initially I stuck with LP because of its smoothness. Then ADW came to be just as competitive and I stuck with ADW, but it seems LP is smoother now again? Not sure. Hah.. basically that's been my benchmark...

Also.... is it me or is the previews slightly choppy when you hit Home for the 2nd time? It seems SMOOTHER when you use the pinch function, but less smooth generating the previews (same animation) when using the Home button. Care to comment?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jonata:
anyone can help me ?

:o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
Pure Messenger widget with scrollable widget support+ADW 0.8.1=FTW!!!! This is nice! I do agree with some others about the drop off in speed however. I'm sure we will see some updates shortly because Anderweb seems to be all over this app and striving for perfection!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
anyone knows a morph to edit the drawer button @ adw?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
I notice this also, using pinch to zoom bring up preview smoothly but not by pressing the touch sensitive home button.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mgorman:
were you able to look into seeing if you could make the app tray a continuous loop?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
updated to the latest and now when I bring up previews the LAB and RAB are still visible overlapping the bottom preview screens. is this the way its supposed to be? I've been looking for a setting to disable this but no luck.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sistum Id:
Is this how auto stretch is suppose to work?

I have my columns set to 5 and I'm placing a 4x1 and 4x2 widget but they don't seem to stretch or I'm I understanding it wrong?

If I uncheck auto stretch or before or after adding widgets it's still the same.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
For best understanding the autoStretch option (maybe bad name) do this:

-setup rows to 8 with autostretch off

-look how items are overlapping

-go settings again and turn autostretch on.

-find the differences.

Launcher cannot change how widgets draw themselves, just provide a "pixel area" for them. If widget images/backgrounds/items are designed/coded for a certain amount of pixels, reducing it will make widgets to cut.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sistum Id:
Okay, makes sense now. I understand it. Thanks for clearing that one up.

Anyway to code it so widgets aren't effected by x amount of columns and rows?

Just drag the new item you want on the left or right action button and it will replace the one there.

HTH.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
JUst downloaded this.

Love the new UI and personalisation options, however a lot of my bigger widgets are not being sized properly.

I've tried both options on the 'stretch' option but no joy.

Shame, would love 5 columns on my desktop so I'll watch this thread with interest.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Now, I thought it couldn't get any better than to just add re-arranging capability to the hidden app dock.;) Customizable Desktop Columns and Rows! WoW!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
What do you want to setup? Really the only hidden setting is when you swipe up/down on the App Drawer Icon...you get 6 more slots for shortcuts/apps. As for the widgets that are used in the screen shots...?:)?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Are you serious?! Tutorial on how to setup? Oh my god. Sorry la.... spend a little time playing around with it and you willl get it all. ;)

Hi there, there is one problem that bothered me for a while now since i can access the additional extra 6 customizable shortcut by rolling up the Home icon, when i pressed the home button on my N1, which it either navigate me back to the home screen or to the preview screen, when it's in the preview screen and i choose either one screen, my extra 6 customizable shortcut will me not visible anymore until i reboot my phone or kill the launcher, any clue please?

0.85 is out! Very nice. The feature I asked for is here about disabling scrollable widgets. Now I need to evaluate if there's any performance difference:

Now the next part I don't want to sound like a whiner, but I actually like this one feature that another launcher (LP) implemented:

THIS would be immensely helpful as I'm someone who has many widgets on my home screen. Many of them are small like simple counters for missed calls and SMS and Gmail. Would be nice to have them not take forever to load... LOL.

Also, any comment on why Sense previews are slower when hitting Home button versus pinching?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
using this launcher for a while now. May someone explain the difference between the system version and the market version (and pershoots version hehe).

thx
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Market versions runs next from /data/app/. System runs from /system/app/

One needs root the other doesn't. The idea is that system apps will run smoother than add on apps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
can't imagine how it could run more smooth than it does in the market version hehe

thanks for the explanation

edit: puh, ok, how do i push it via adb?

adb push ADWLauncherxxxxx.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk oder Launcher2.apk?

I want to replace my original launcher @ froyo (which is named launcher2.apk as far as i can see)

@jc: I think the link in your sig isn't working anymore :P

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] carblanco:
Is there any way for upgrading without loosing the widgets?

I mean, before upgrade I've done backups but after upgrading all widgets are showing "problem loading the widget" and then I have to delete and create all again. Restoring does not work.

I'm running CM 5.0.8 t5 and the system version.

Thx.

I'm trying it right now but it should work fine.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mdubs:
mmmmkay. How would you tell the OS to use the new launcher? I'm still just a sproutling for some of this stuff :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
Here is a link for the download of a system version of 2.8.5 ADWLauncher that you can download and adb push.

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/

Download the ALTERNATE version. You can use root explorer to move the file from your SD card directory to the /system/app directory. Run the .apk file from /system/app and then the next time you hit the home button you will choose which launcher you want to use.

This is easy if you don't have a computer to adb push the file. It takes a little longer but gets the job done. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
After this last update and Pure Messenger Widget releasing an update for their scrollable widgets, this launcher is the bees knees, his arms and his feet!!!! Speed is no longer a factor and I see no lag at all! Great job with the collaboration!

Can anyone confirm that the system version performs any better than the market version? I'm not sure why there would be a difference...

For me it is just user preferable.

No performance wise differences as long as you install at Internal memory.

I keep getting FC after FC while trying to add new widgets to the new version of ADW. I checked on the Market to see if anyone else left comments and it seems some others are having the same problem. I am getting the same results using the system/app version and the Market version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
But it won't be fixed until anyone (hopefully more than one user) provides me with logcats and detailed info of desktop setup... Cause my phone doesn't fc one single time... Maybe cause i use few widgets... ;)

I have 10 widgets on 7 screens and 0 fc
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kitsunisan:
Amazing launcher, seems smoother than it was a couple of versions ago. One problem with this is, when changing how many rows/columns show on the screen, there is no way to change folder sizes. I have two folders, one with my browsers(still testing them all out) and one with live bookmarks, when open with 6 columns and 8 rows, the folders are stuck at the standard row/column size, making them very hard to use. Is this something that can be fixed, or are we stuck with it this way?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
On certain version sometimes I do facing lot of FC, what I do now is, remove all the widgets... restart.... clear cache and then re-add back all the widget ... and it seems solving all the FC issue after that.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
It will be fixed in next release ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AnderWeb:
That's a good hint, thanks!

Anyways I need to fix a few things ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
FYI - System v Market

Guys, there's some misinformation in this thread about the various versions of ADW.Launcher, let's clear some of that up.

Any app can run from /system/app, that doesn't make it a "system app"

Anything run as a system app will not be faster than any other version

A (true) system app uses a shared UID (1000) with other system apps

System apps are the (second) last to be released for free memory

A question a few pages back a a LP feature (keep in memory) is automatically achieved with ADW.Launcher if you use the system app, Android manages that for you based on UID=1000.

However, don't assume this is actually a good thing. System apps typically minimise their resource utilisation because they will, under normal circumstances, remain resident in memory until the situation gets critical. As Launchers become more functional they require more resources. It may be undesirable in some usecases to have a resource intensive app "held" in memory when it's not being used, some users may prefer that say, their foreground game runs better at the expense of re-loading the launcher when it's eventually needed again.

It has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with resource management. And a system version isn't necessarily the best for all.

My recommendation is to just keep whatever launcher your system came with to always fall back on if something goes wrong and then install whatever other launchers you like, as a market version, beside the default one.

I will bet my bottom dollar that 99% of all users would never know the difference between the two.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mdubs:
Ok. I've got the .zip file on the sd card but I don't see a .apk to run.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
It shouldn't be a zip file. The download is an apk file. If you downloaded the correct file then you could just change the extension to .apk from .zip.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
I can get you a logcat today at some point. I have tried everything including clearing all data, clearing cache, clearing dalvik cache and nothing has stopped the FCs yet. That still doesn't take away from the fact that this is an amazing launcher. I will try to provide that for you, thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
Here is that logcat. I tried to add multiple different widgets while running it so that you could have a number of different examples. Hopefully this helps!
