freshface is a pretty decent home replacement app i stick to anderwebs launcher but before that it was freshface
[Android Apps and Games] [IO]ERROR:
I have used

Open Home

Launcher Pro Beta

Panda

Ahome

Home++

Out of all of them I like Home++ the best. Sadly is seems to be the least stabile of them all. Launcher Pro Beta would be my next choice. I'm looking forward to ADW Launcher being an install pack. I really don't want to replace my stock launcher.

[Android Apps and Games] Nemisis7654:
I have used quite a bit of them: PandaHome, Better Home, Launcher Pro, Helix Launcher, ADW Launcher, Zeam AHome, SlideSCreen, AdvancedLauncher ...

By far, my favorite is LauncherPro. Most of them Force CLosed on me more than once an hour, except for ADW, Zeam and LP. But, the moment I started scrolling in LP, I was really surprised...it's blazing fast. I haven't looked back.
[Android Apps and Games] crimsondr:
The lack of the 2 extra icons in the dock bar is what stops me from using ADW Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] archboy69:
But you have an addition 6 when you swipe up at the app button. I think they are are all pretty good. Loved Helix2 when it first came out but seems to be lagging in development these days with the abidance of home replacements. I think launcher pro is a great option also. But for now sticking with ADW
[Android Apps and Games] crimsondr:
I never knew about swiping the app button. Good tip.
[Android Apps and Games] 77cats:
Launcherpro beta here. One of the nicest for me.

I have just gave another try to ADW after having seen the last replies:

* really smooth and fast with settings to custom it

* nice horizontal drawer

* like the six hidden shortcuts on the bottom

* do love adding / removing / moving apps and widgets without any vibrations

But... too many FC, maybe because of my overclocking settings. I'll stick to launcherpro which is really stable on my phone.

[Android Apps and Games] pphillips001:
I can remember using SBP Mobile Shell back when I was a naive winmo user.

It was ahead of its time back then and had little competition.

However coming to a healthy market of budget/free similar/better competition with a hefty $30 price tag - I can't see a massive adoption somehow.

It'll be interesting to see if they bring anything new to the playing field.

I personally would like a scroll in any direction type launcher, perhaps with pinch zoom. Maybe have a spherical wallpaper - like SphereXP. It most likely would look cool - but may prove impractical but I would like to see it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Issemann:
If I have my stock sense screens loaded with icons, widgets, etc., should I clear everything out before installing a replacement launcher?

(I'm worried about those widgets running in the background). :-[
[Android Apps and Games] jjones1983:
As stated earlier in the thread, if you're worried about it (which frankly you shouldn't be since launchers don't run simultaneously) just save your current scene, go to choose scene, pick clean slate and switch your launcher...
[Android Apps and Games] nolageek:
My only complaint with ADW is the lack of notification badges for items in the dock. LP has these and it's a deal breaker for me. One thing I miss about dxTop is app categories and live folders based on them.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] dillipp:
Hi you all,

i have not so much money :s , so i'd like to know, if tehre is any ROM containing unlimited credits???

thank you for helping me

dillipp
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] ChrBeck:
What do you mean by that?

The time and prices of your calls are setted with your contract and has nothing to do with the phone itself.

So there is no ROM you can use to make calls for free.

You could clone your IMEI and a SIM and use that but I'm not going to tell you how to do that, because it is forbidden.

In case you are looking for a free german ROM then try one of mine or maybe cyberdel's too, but for his you have to ask him very nicely cause it seems like you can only use his roms if you have donated. But mine are surely free and some are german too.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] dillipp:
Isn't all illegal?

Yes, It is forbidden, but is using an own ROM with contents of Windows not the same illegal? And, what is this forum then about? Is it about allowed things? Is here anywhre an copyright of Windows? NO. So, you could give me an answear!!!

dillipp
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] ChrBeck:
The ROM development in here isn't legal, but it isn't illegal too.

Many days ago Microsoft thought about selfmade ROMS, and they came to the conclusion that custom ROMs are ok, as long as they are only used on devices that came with Windows Mobile originally too and as long as there won't be any very fresh builds would be used.

So it is not really illegal in any way.

But anyways your unlimited credit thing can never work as long as you don't copy an other Sim and fake the IMEI of the other person who uses the SIM and then call under his number.

But I WON'T tell you how that works, I did it once with my own SIM, but I will never help anyone betrailing other people.

[G1 Apps and Games] DragonsMaw:
Really like Zeam for it's simplicity right now. Double tap anywhere to preview all homescreens makes navigation from app to app pretty damn quick as well using widgets. It's pretty much the biggest reason I've moved up to Froyo again after all the slowdowns and instabilities I was having.

Running Biffmod 2.1 with 2708+. No swap and CC at 18%, CPU at 245/528 and JIT on. Linpack report 3.6MFlops. With messaging and home locked in memory the phone feels snappy enough that I'm not obscenely jealous of all my friends with Snapdragon and Hummingbird procs.

[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
Probably like many of my colleagues blessed with the job of supporting these shiny new phones, I'm coming under increasing pressure to find an Exchange solution that actually works... I have therefore started the process of evaluating Nitrodesk's TouchDown to see if it provides a better solution.

I will report my findings in this thread and I invite others to do the same. We need to know if, for the corporate user, the $20 fee is not only worth it but necessary.
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
Yes, do it.

Just getting back on this. Generally speaking, it was a no-brainer. Touchdown works. The built in client doesn't.

Couple of niggles:

Touchdown seems to have a larger storage requirement.

Contacts have to be copied (a one-time manual operation) to the phone before you get all the benefits of contact sync.

Massive array of settings and options may be slightly overwhelming for some users although generally they can be ignored.

Emails can only be composed in plain text. Ditto signatures. Rendering of HTML emails received is good though.

Apart from that, Touchdown is better in almost every respect (once you get used to the change of interface).
[Desire General] daern:
Interesting take.

I'm using a Desire with the stock sync apps connecting into Exchange 2007 at work and Gmail for home. Everything worked out of the box (well, email, contacts, calendar). I miss being able to search the server, but the functionality works pretty much flawlessly....at least as good as my old WM6 smartphone, anyway ;) The built in calendar is awesome...I love having a single calendar showing items from three different accounts!

What doesn't work for you in the built-in client? Your blanket "the built-in client doesn't work" is a little harsh, to say the least...

Daern
[Desire General] spud_work:
The only thing i don't like about the exchange sync is that i can't seem to subscribe to my folders within my mailbox that I can if i set it up as an IMAP account. Other than that, the inbuilt one does everything that I want it to
[Desire General] Abra_Cadabra:
Yep built in HTC mail client working quite well for me as well for exchange sync. Mail/Calendar/Contacts plus lookup on corporate address book all working with no problems to report.

Didn't see the need to switch to touchdown though I did give it a try. It did not bring anything extra to the table.
[Desire General] bakersdozen:
My exchange account for gmail used tu work ok but the last few days it won't connect to the server and so I've deleted the account and re entered the server settings etc and I just get a failed to create account message.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm Considering touchdown, but does it have a widget?

-------------------------------------

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] omniwolf:
can you elaborate on this?
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
Some answers

There have been quite a few threads prior to this with testimonies of the broken DirectPush/ActiveSync/Exchange implementation. There also appears to be a fault in the IMAP client. I accept that these faults may possibly affect some environments more than others (for example, we're currently on Exchange 2003 - due to upgrade to 2010 later this year) but given the wide variety of installed userbases out there, I would have expected HTC's testing to be considerably more rigourous.

Given that the phone is touted as having DirectPush/Exchange capabilities, that puts it squarely in the corporate market. And sorry, but the corporate market it quite unforgiving of deal-breaking flaws such as the ones users here have reported. An example from my own organisation: a couple of very senior managers were hit by the "multiple re-send" bugs, causing their hapless recipients to receive hundreds (yes, hundreds) of copies of some emails. Given the personalities involved, this became more than a little embarrassing. not least because one of the users was the director of our I.T. department. ("What, your phone is broken? Guffaw guffaw!")

I totally agree that the built in calendar was a great feature. In fact one of the most awesome things about the phone was the way it pulled together diverse information streams together. Sadly we have to forego this in order to have a working corporate setup that includes task sync as well as everything else.

Yes, actually it has several. The "universal" widget is great - quick and easy access to email, calendar, contacts and tasks all on one screen. Plus a load of quick shortcuts etc. Very usable.

@omniwolf: within Touchdown-->Contacts-->Menu is a "Copy To Phone" option. This needs to be done once so that the phone has all Exchange contacts within its own database. Then within Settings-->Advanced, tick "Update Contact changes to Phone" {save} to keep everything in sync. You'll see that your phone's contacts acquire an additional group, "TouchDown-Exchange".
[Desire General] widemouth31:
I have the problem and are now using Touchdown.

We have Exchange 2003 and reading various reports from users that the problems dont exist if connecting to newer versions of exchange.

The main problem for us is the inability to search the GAL (Company Directory) I also had strange email sending problems as others have reported.

Touchdown works but is not as cleanly integrated into the phone as the inbuilt client.
[Desire General] masi0:
Try using Moxier instead
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
Does Moxier have better integration?
[Desire General] masi0:
Unfortunately not - separate contacts/calendar/email client :(
[Desire General] piannetta:
I've only had my Desire for a say or so and used Touchdown from the start after advice from a colleague (and after reading so many online posts about problems with the native client).

I have to say, it's working really well so far. Small problem with contact birthdays and anniversaries being 1 day out, but the developer got back to me same day and advised a fix will be out next week. Impressive.

Certainly better than the WinMo implementation of Exchange support ActiveSync just slowed down my Touch Pro 2 to the point of being unusable. On the Desire, it's burning rubber.

I couldn't be happier; confident to recommend Touchdown as a reliable alternative (after a day or so of use, I'll let you know if that changes but no reason to suspect it will).

[Desire General] Quist:
I beg to differ on the plain text front. The emails are composed and responded to in html.

I had no problem with the built in clients with an Exchange 2007 server, but I hated the fact that it only let me respond with text in Times New Roman 10pt when Outlook uses Calibri 11pt as a standard. So I switched to Touchdown, which allows you to set the font in the settings.

Been using it live for a bit more than a week now and am mighty impressed. Well worth the investment to not make it blaringly obvious that I'm answering my emails from the phone when I'm not in my office.
[Desire General] @MARK:
I am surprised you find this a big deal especially when MOST mobile corporate mail user are armed with Blackberries that reply in plain text and actually advertise by default "sent from my Blackberry".

In this day and age, it is perfectly acceptable if not expected that you will have your email with you on the move. Don't try and hide the fact, shout about it so your customers can see how up to date you are.

Unless....

You are supposed to be cubicle bound and are sneaking out of the office hoping nobody will notice :rolleyes:
[Desire General] Quist:
Blackberry is a uniquely American affair that only recently began making headway in the rest of the world. They were the first to offer pushmail, but now that's ubiquitous and their solution requires servers at the operator which delayed things internationally. Now that numerous free solutions are available and Exchange offers html email support, it's just silly not to use it. Ultimately I think the user should be able to decide how his or her email looks and I for one think having the same look and feel across the board for email, regardless whether desktop or mobile gives a much more professional impression. Not only that, but many people find fonts like Times New Roman difficult to read.

For my part, I'm a freelancer and do most of my work odd hours and weekends, while I receive all my orders from 8-6. That means that I'm often out and about or can't be bothered to crack open the laptop just to answer an email, but I still want to be able to offer a polished impression - not have any potentially dislectic client have to struggle to read my email, or worse, have the guy shackled to a desk deciding whether or not to give me a huge assignment thinking that I'm always out playing (especially since I average 70 hours a week, though not always during the business day).

Moreover, it's not rocket science to implement this kind of option, just a single line of html inserted into the emails sent. It shouldn't be difficult to provide this to customers and I'm glad Touchdown realised this.
[Desire General] @MARK:
I am not sure what country you are in but certainly in Europe BB is huge and has been for at least the last 5 or 6 years. Here in the UK, I cannot think of any of the FTSE100 companies I work with for who BB is the primary mobile email solution.

I tend to agree but BB is embeded in corporate land and is going to take a lot of shifting

Only if it is the users own email. Remember that most mobile email users are using their companies mail platform so it is the companies choice not theirs.
