Another update? Nice frequency lol

Harolds: I noticed that if it's not set as default launcher, it loads just fine (recognizing the icons both in the drawer and main screen). Maybe a delay is needed?

v0.8.6 release

v0.8.6 fixing the FC issue when adding some widget due to the new dialog function.

v0.8.6 fixing scrollable widget.

Re: ADW.Launcher v0.8.6 done by AnderWeb not Andrewtst is out! (Fully support Froyo!)

I often get flicked to another screen when trying to scroll in widgets. Like it's misinterpreting my swype. That and when I'm scrolling in them if I try to rapidly scroll it stops and picks up the widget like I'm trying to move it.this doesn't happen in launcher pro so I don't think its a screen issue.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
you make some good points but:

i must be the 1% as i notice the difference- here it is: the market launcher is a pain in the arse to theme whereas i have an ADW metamorph i can just apply each time after adb'ing the system version across. If it was possible to apply a theme to the market app easily i would understand this but as it is not i prefer the system version.

Also, CM roms now come with ADW launcher ONLY. no AOSP version, just ADW. That speaks volumes to me.

So, I know that there have been quite a few discussions on what the benefits to having a system app are in the this thread and most were clarified by djmcnz but I noticed that this modification is "modified to use /data/data/com.android.launcher2". What can we expect from using this modification as opposed to stock?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
i like maintaining that one folder, as it stays consistent with stock launcher data properties.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
That makes perfect sense. Thanks for the response.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
Only problem is that AnderWeb's version & Cyanogen's version both use com.android.launcher not launcher2 for the data.. ;) But the backup & restore feature should help people out (if they use it)..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
There's a very good (and smart) reason for that.

From Android 2.1 launcher is not used, rather launcher2 is used. However, launcher is still compatible for all apps (as is launcher2).

It is safe to use launcher because it's not otherwise used. I don't feel it's safe to use launcher2 because it is used by something else (the stock Google 2.1+ launcher).

If an app expects something specific to be in launcher2 and it is not, something will break or not work. Worse, it could corrupt something critical (launcher database for example).

Using launcher2 is a workaround to support legacy apps. I can think of only one that requires this support and it's BetterCut. Since BetterCut has now been effectively suplanted by FolderOrganizer I see no valid reason to use launcher2 for anything other than the Google launcher.

I believe every modification/app should use a different package name. When I recompile ADW I use kang.o.rama instead of org.adw.launcher or com.android.launcher or com.andorid.launcher2. This retains compatibility and ensures nobody has upgrade issues.

The package name has no effect on system v market app.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Bro, this is some mean launcher action you've got going on here, seems nice and stable on the Nexus (AB tinting seems a little off though).

Would you entertain the possibility of me including it as part of Kang-o-rama as a home option? It actually co-exists with Helix quite nicely (on that note, will you stick with the launcher app name or migrate to launcher2?).

Just a thought at this stage but you be keen to hear your thoughts... pm if you prefer.

Keep up the awesome work.

EDIT: I think the scroll bar in the standard app draw is unnecessary and aesthetically disruptive... I like that Google removed it... perhaps something to consider?

Flashing through recovery does nothing unless you have a Launcher2 to replace in the first place.

When I adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk (this latest version) to replace the ADWLauncher Kang-O-Rama version /system/app I only can choose from Launcher Pro(market installed). There is no version of ADW at all. I tried using Root Explorer to manually install the apk that was pushed to /system/app from your update.zip/app folder but it just says application not installed. Am I missing something VERY obvious here? It is late and it has been a long day! wtf?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
You'll need to check your boot logcat for that. I suspect the new apk isn't loading, this could be for a number of reasons, the most common is a failure parsing the manifest.

There's a Kang-o-rama version of 0.8.6 in that thread if you want it.

Remember, you don't need to call them both ADWLauncher.apk, you could call one KangADW.apk and the other PershootADW.apk if you like (in /system/app/), this way you will at least have one whilst you're diagnosing. Both will co-exist.

I don't need the original Launcher2.

Can I remove it from the rom zipfile and add this Launcher2.apk from pershoot, sign the zpi and flash?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Well, you're nothing if not persistent! :) I still have no idea why you're doing this but respect the fact that you want to.

Your problem is this in the manifest:

<manifest android:[COLOR="Red"]sharedUserId="android.uid.shared"[/COLOR] android:versionCode="7" android:versionName="2.1-update1" [COLOR="red"]android:sharedUserLabel="@string/uid_name"[/COLOR] package="com.android.launcher2"

Android can't reconcile this request with the stored credentials. This is explainable and expected behaviour. With the current Froyo builds most of the platform keys used are different... and any app with a shared uid needs to be signed for a specific platform. This is impractical at the moment unless you're the one that released the rom...

No doubt this will all centralise around CM-6 soon and we'll all be using the same keys again. Until then, you're unlikely to be able to work around this with a custom rom.

If indeed you feel compelled to use com.android.launcher2 (for reasons I still do not understand) then you can, but not with a shared UID. The manifest entries above simply need to be removed. The app can still be installed to system/app but it will get a unique UID, avoiding the problem you have. And really at no consequence to you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
My whole reasoning initially was that I if Pershoot's kernels are THAT much better than the stock kernels then his modification of the ADWLauncher may just be THAT much better too.
