I prefer adw's dock better but LP app drawer
[Droid Eris General] Zalatorisaurus:
I figured out my icon problem for launcher pro, so I'm back for that now.
[Droid Eris General] joshw0000:
A few weeks ago I would have said Launcher Pro because you can scroll the dock bar. I've been on ADW lately because you can theme it on the fly (no restart required) and I just realized that you can swipe up to get a scrollable dock bar (in addition to the standard dock bar). The swipe up action rarely works properly so I changed it to swipe down (in ADW settings) and it works perfectly. You can put unlimited apps in the scrollable dockbar whereas Launcher Pro limits you....so definately ADW Launcher!!
[Droid Eris General] spastico:
Thanks for this thread.

And thanks to the OP for adding a poll.

I think every comparison thread should have a poll - often more will vote than post.
[Droid Eris General] Darca:
Launcher Pro. Had both, just didn't like the feel of ADW.
[Droid Eris General] Cobjones:
Most of the things people are saying are just for LP are wrong...

ADW has notifications bubbles (adw notifier - it'd free), 3D dock, and more options.

ADW "out of the box" can run slow on the eris, but you need to open up the settings and play with it. I can't think of anything LP does that ADW doesn't, they just do it in different ways... if you like scrollable widgets then just search on the market, there are tons.

Ander is working on recoding from scratch and has leaked a little of it too.

I will put it this way iOS:Android as LP:ADW... boom
[Droid Eris General] sickbox:
I think it may be time for a newer LP vs ADW thread. A lot has changed since August 2010.
[Droid Eris General] splashattack:
How can an opinion be wrong?

While ADW is great (EX in particular) Launcher Pro has homescreen scrolling thats just as smooth as butter. No matter what I set, ADW cant scroll as smooth. Faster definitely, but not smoother.

-edit- nvm ADWex has much improved scrolling after the last update. Its all-round the best now (unless you like the launcher pro widgets)
[Droid Eris General] muerteman:
Its not on the poll, but Launcher 7 is where its att. Smooth as a babied buttocks.
[Droid Eris General] lanlee212:
I starting to like go launcher ex alot. Its fast
[Droid Eris General] Leonardo Teles:
the last version of LP can load ADW THEMES

http://i2theme.webs.com/
[Droid Eris General] TheGratefulDead:
No it cant
[Droid Eris General] Decon1:
Whats happened here is you had ADW launcher installed then switched to LP. the theme is sticky. Try to load another theme.....it won't work nor can you return to the original.

Been there done that!

D
[Droid Eris General] MongooseHelix:
It's not released yet but the latest beta can use any ADW theme. You can get the beta here or wait until it hits the market soon.
[Droid Eris General] Decon1:
Hey thanks! very cool!

:D

D
[Droid Eris General] TheGratefulDead:
Yea I figured it out now I got it working I did catch a bunch of forces closes trying to scrolling homescreens after applying a theme then just went back to stock then reapplied haven't no issuers now
[Droid Eris General] elelau:
Not sure if it just a personal preference, but I always end up back at ADW.
[Droid Eris General] TheGratefulDead:
I like the Widgets with launcher pro plus
[Droid Eris General] jeremy480:
I'm a launcher pro fan myself
[Droid Eris General] Decon1:
The only problem I have with LP is that on reboot it either takes forever to load or I manually FC it.

All the Go Stuff seems really good but the last updates for GO seemed to slow it down.

ADW just seem sticky to me, not smooth like LP

D
[Droid Eris General] otter68:
LP - better functionality for me.
[Droid Eris General] maxesxp:
i know this post is old but i wanted to post my opinion adw has more settings, but launcher pro is faster, at least for me. im using launcher pro for now, because of its snappiness, i just wish that it could show the contents of its folders :/

adw:more features, customizability, up to 9 homescreens, but is not as fast

launcher pro: faster, has widgets, not as costomizable, also has alot of features, but not as much
[Droid Eris General] smokedkill:
You should try the go launcher.
[Droid Eris General] msd24200:
Full screen launcher will be sweet if they add more options and tweak it some! ADW for now!
[Droid Eris General] maxesxp:
Go launcher is a bit slow for my liking
[Droid Eris General] smokedkill:
Have you adjusted its speed? You can speed it up or slow it down.
[Droid Eris General] maxesxp:
I mean the launcher itself is laggy, not that the scrolling is slow lol
[Droid Eris General] smokedkill:
Sorry, it's been a while since I've used an Eris. Didn't realize that it ran laggy on the Eris.
[Droid Eris General] maxesxp:
Its not that laggy, its just slower then I want it to be and I'm on the T-Mobile g2x ATM
[Droid Eris General] sergeyluashkov:
adw launcher good

What does everyone use to monitor their battery usage? my battery is being sucked dry and i'd like to know what's doing it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Greetings, I need some guidance-- someone to point me in the right direction. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to locate the original Sense clock and *especially* the bottom slider bar (not the icons). I am running a custom VBN rom (w/ CHT 1.8.5.1) (which runs flawlessly) but has been slightly themed.

Also, does anyone know how to change the start up sound? I noticed that the registry points to a file in the /windows directory (HTC-QuietlyBrilliantBoot.wav) but there wasn't any file. I was just going to replace the wav file (with a compatible one) but am completely baffled.

Thanks again, XDA! :)

Update:

Links to necessary files are provided below thanks to XDA member Paten.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Paten:
Try these files. I'm not sure about the slider bar. I don't really know anything about the start up sound either.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Thank You! I will be sure to give these a try. *crosses fingers*
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Everything [almost] works great! The slider is back to stock theme and the clock is as well but there is no background. Would you mine also uploading the background file? BTW, thank you very much. I am sincerely grateful.

i.e.

Behind the clock, the stock background is missing. The previous theme was transparent I believe.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Paten:
Clock background... Enjoy!;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] anhphe076:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rylo:
In the service menu under 'SIM lock'

the menu is showing the following information:

[] Network 5

[] Network subset 5

[] Service provider 5

[] Corporate5

[] SIM 0

I can't test the phone with another SIM card, but i'm wondering if my phone is simlocked or isn't locked.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
On X10mini, bought on an Orange UK contract I get the same display as yours, but the first line says

[x] Network 5

So presumably that [x] indicates that my handset is locked to a network (which is what I'd expect) which suggests that yours is unlocked
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rylo:
Thanks for your feedback! Will report back when i've tested it with a SIM-card from another provider.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rylo:
yép, my Vodafone branded x10 mini pro isn't sim locked!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Thrackan:
Hmm, I have the same, need to check whether my T-Mobile X10 Mini is simlocked. Service menu shows the same info as yours does Rylo. I'll get back when I find another SIM to insert.

Can you compile thru cygwin or not I'm getting some errors on a kernel compile? I'm switching to a vmware fedora install to have a linux based IDE. Any suggestions on what you used and di would be most helpful.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
I have the facebook application syncing with my contact data.

When I pull up my contacts and look under the linked accounts, each user has 5 linked accounts.

How is this possible? Is this a glitch?

The only other contact sync I have is Google.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
same here.. when I look, there are five icons "linked" one google, one facebook, and THREE little green icons (WTF are those?)
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
Yes, that is exactly what I have too. Very annoying.
[Vibrant General] dcugooner:
I have noticed this issue as well. In my accounts and sync settings I somehow have two facebook accounts, which I think was caused by the last upgrade to the facebook app.

Unsyncing and/or deleting one of the facebook accounts solved the problem.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
I am also showing lots of account sync icons in my contacts. Thought maybe I just did something wrong. If deleting them and then syncing them worked for you I'm going to try it and see what I come up with.
[Vibrant General] superchi:
Happens on mine too. If you set up your Facebook account from the Accounts and Sync settings, then you won't have any problems with multiple linked accounts. When you use the Facebook Android app and widget and login, it'll ask you if you want to sync your contacts and calendars. That's where I saw that all the duplicate linked accounts appear.

The big problem I've seen is that either way, if you go to your contacts and try to access their Facebook page it will only open your profile and not go to their page.

Kind of sucks.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
I get that too! Now because I have multiple links to each contact, I have 5 links to facebook profiles under each contact. Each time I click on any of them, it simply takes me to my own page. Great...
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
I Just double checks a few of mine and it shows 3 right now but I think that's because I have it showing on specific accounts. I have a Google, Facebook, and unknown account listed per person. The unknown one is the one I don't get. I can also see their recent updates, pics, and profile pics again. Idk wtf happened lol.
[Vibrant General] superchi:
Yep, I meant to edit my post with how I got rid of them but because I'm a n00b here I get limited to one post every 5 minutes including editing :\

The way I found to get rid of the duplicate contacts is having to go into the Accounts and Sync settings and delete the Facebook Android account. If you're using the Facebook widget that will also log you out of it. You can then log back in using the widget or app and make sure to uncheck the contacts sync so that way it doesn't sync at all (especially since your phone already is doing so if you added your account using the Accounts and Sync setting). Reason I wanted to get rid of them is when you access your contacts through something like adding a new contact from an unknown text message, it pulls up all the synced contacts that are connected with your phone (duplicate entries stored on your phone/sim/facebook account(s)/twitter/etc)

I have a phone, HTC HD2 T8585 ROM versie 1.66.404.1, it often appears that the backlight comes on when the phone in my pocket. The reason is that al the buttons on the front are actief to wakeup the phone (backlight), but the buttons on de side (volume) are blocked.

Is there a way to lock the buttons on de front and unlock the button(s) on de side, so I can wakeup the phone only by pushing one of the buttons on de side?

When i don't use the phone and the phone is not in my pocket, the battery holds it for almost 3 days, but when i hold the phone in my pocket the battery holds it for 1 day.

For me it is the gyro sensor, which reacts very late to movements and thus the games that use it like Raging Thunder are unplayable.

How did you guys install it.. i usually place the apk's in the Android Apps folder... when i boot the games gets automatically installed and then when i try to run the game it give the error "Unexpectedly closed".. something like that.. do i have to manually install it again??.. Apps have almost worked if i just put it in Android Apps folder... so whats goin on?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GodsGift:
although the apk's are automatically recognised and appear in the launcher, with some of them you still have to install them by clicking on the apk in your chosen file manager. I use linda.

Then the game should work ok.

I've owned this BT earpiece with other HTC devices. Haven't had any problems with it. I also have used a 925 discovery with my EVO. Worked fine.

I was upgraded to 975 discovery by Best Buy. I always hear a buzzing noise in the background. Sometimes the audio quality gets scratchy or distorted. One time while using it, it sounded like I was on a horrible voip connection and i could hear only ever other word. I put it on speaker phone and the quality was perfect. I also own a Motorola S9-HD. I don't have any problems with it.

Does anyone else own this headset? I'm curious.... Are you having simliar issues?
[EVO 4G Accessories] masbirdies:
I have this head set

make sure WiFi is OFF is you are using BT. I get what I think you are describing only when WiFi is on.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitch27:
I have the same headset. I have the same symptoms when my body is in between the headset and phone. If there's a line of sight between them, the audio is perfect... I'm on my second 975 (lost the first one), and it still does it. I'm not sure if my phones bluetooth is messed up or the headset.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hockeyfreak:
I have had this headset for a long time. I just switched to the EVO from the Iphone, and the 975 worked flawlessly on the Iphone. It SUCKS with the EVO so far. It will not stay paired. I can press the button to answer, but the no audio on the phone or BT. It will redial, but the audio comes out of the phone! Is there a better BT to use with the EVO?
[EVO 4G Accessories] espektro:
Hi. Few weeks ago i bought the Motorola S305 and i never get the Stereo or "high quality" sound. My phone is Unrooted. I havent tried on another phone to check if the headphones are ok, but there are a lot of bad comments about the bluetooth on the Evo so i believe that maybe its the phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jakobrmc:
I get the same buzz too. It is like a real low hum. Only when I talk to certain people though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Maddball:
Same Bluetooth same issue. When I don't hear the buzz I sometimes think the call has dropped. Had the same noise with my palm pre. Must be the Bluetooth.

Hey all -

So short story is that I need to use specific DNS settings to connect to my cable modem. I know how to change the DNS addresses on android (wireless settings -> advanced -> use static ip) but it's still not working. It says connected, but won't allow any data. Question is, has anyone else successfully used a specific DNS address or are you having issues? Do I need to fill in any other info for it to work (right now I'm only entering the 2 DNS fields under static ip)? Everything worked fine in winmo with the correct DNS entered. Wifi works great with other regular wireless connections.

Winmo rom: chuckydroid lite

Android: mattfroyo 1.5

Thanks in advance!

So I rooted my XT720; it's my first Android phone and this is obviously the first time I've rooted an Android phone.

I've heard app2SD talked about quite frequently. But I have a lot of stuff on my SD already and don't want to format it to re-partition it (yet).

Besides these things, what else is considered "essential" after I root my phone?

I wouldn't expect Gingerbread any earlier than December with the time Google needs to keep updating it before eventually releasing it.

Don't forget, Google did say that after Froyo they would begin a 6month till next update period, where updates wouldn't come out for 6 months. I figure June (when froyo was released) is 6 months from December so technically it still fits googles model.
