I'm just using 1.6 version. How can I update mine to version 2.1?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tuxStyle:
ADW here but i'm still curious why people are using Launcher Pro.

Well, i like my desktops clean so, i have only 5 widgets 4x1 on the bottom of the screen + 2 multicon 1x3 on the sides of 1st and last screen so, i don't care about Launcher pro apps/widgets :).

I also like the swype gestures on ADW.

I have swype down to switch to dock and swype up for preview.

Almost no need to press the hardware buttons :D

Wasn't trying to "win", just giving my opinion. ;)

Thanks, I'll give that a try then as that was the main issue for me. When I was trying to drop apps on it like you can with ADW it just showed the bin.

I had dxtop pro running on my x10i, 2.1 rooted. It caused massive battery drain and XDA app would not open and kept force closing. It caused a load of force closing. I had a icon pack and some fonts as well. Gone back to standard though now

I don't know the best but LauncherPro(Paid) is good for me. Waited for 2.1 to get it and happy to spend that $2.99 on it. Love the twitter wideger and Contact Widget and SMS Widget. Love it all.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] thefunkaygibbon:
Put me down as an ADW fan! I tried the free version of Launcher Pro, but there are some features of ADW that have become second nature to me now.

I also like my main screen clean. My default desktop has just the battstatt and tajm widgets, and along the bottom of the screen I have text shortcuts either side of the app drawer icon.

With ADW, if you long press that button and drag up you can put more shortcuts there. you can have 6 on the screen at once, but this scrolls left and right for however many icons you put in there (I havent ran out yet)

On the screens to the left and right i have some widgets, but not many (they do use up 2 whole screens, but I always keep the default as the main screen)

Launcher Pro did seems OK, but like a few others have said, it seems a little over hyped
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
What I like about Launcher Pro is the exclusive widgets which all look and function perfectly, the multi dock and generally its responsiveness.

What I miss from ADW is the customizable app drawer background and the horizontal layout of the drawer. I guess those are coming to LPP too at some point, as it is still on the 0.81 version.

Any one experiencing jerkyness when you scroll to a different screen and problems with long pressing widgets on the homescreen with ADW on 2.1. The problem I have with the widget is you know when you long press widgets you're able to move them around? Well I'm having problems with that, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't or might open the app the widget is for
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] forever leung:
I think ADW is the Greatest Launcher~~~
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ttxdragon:
After giving LauncherPro a (decidedly short) ride, I decided to go back to ADW.

The one feature of LauncherPro that I'll likely miss a bit on ADW is the ability to have more than 8 desktop rows. Other than that... it's nice but not my thing.

The major advantages ADW has for me:

- Better widget resizing

- Dockbar with howeverfrickinmanyshortcutsyouwant

- Category-switching in the App drawer

- Open Source

Overall, a win for adw for me.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] PollPixx:
well, I used ADW (obviously during 1.6) and I got myself a early christmas present by buying Launcher Pro Plus. First week I missed ADW because I was so used to it, second week now and I am starting to love it:D

Just a matter of getting used to it. There are tons of options which can make it great but I am still searching for my best settings...

Just my 2cents

Cheers,

Arnold

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Pepper67:
With Launcherpro I havnt found how to move screen positions like switch screen 1 to the middle,

swipe down anywhere to make the notifications slide down,

or change the drawer background and a couple other things Im blanking on right now.

I really like the dock bar options in it. Dont use the custom widgets.

Why cant ADW or Launcherpro just add all the features theyre missing from eachother and make sweet computer baby.

Im going to try some of the other ones meantioned here though since Ive only used those 2.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] geraerb:
Launcher Pro and ADW launcher are both great.

Have been using the launcher pro + for a few weeks now, and must admit that I want to go back to ADW. The only reason for this is the Apps drawer.

In Launcher pro, you have the option to hide icons in the drawer.

However, you need to go back to the settings to change this, if you want to open one of the hidden apps.

In ADW I can create multiple drawers and I can switch from one to the other by a single swipe. This way I have a drawer with all frequent used apps and one with the hidden apps. If Launcher pro would have this option, I would go back.

So both are great and pretty similar. Just a few different option that make a little difference.

Grtz
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mr_Element:
I installed Launcher Pro as soon as I upgraded to 2.1 ...

Everything seemed fine all the way and I was really happy but then I got Launcher Pro Plus (paid) and for some reason it sometimes lags ... A LOT! I really can't find the reason why yet but it's irritating.

I'm that close to returning to ADW.

About differences... Well the only good thing Launcher Pro has is in it's plus version and it's the scrollable HTC-senselike highly customizable widgets.

Other than that they're the same.

If we take it to a "free-app" level then ADW is better. You don't need to pay to resize widgets , it supports a transparent app drawer and you can have multiple drawers of hidden and shown apps and you can modify all that from within the drawer itself!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] PollPixx:
that's true, but for me.... i love the launcherpro widgets for twitter, messaging and Agenda...they have 1 page each on one of my 7 screens...Now I have tried hundreds of wallpapers already and still i miss the "wow" feeling:D

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Crocketeer:
I've been an avid ADW user since the 1.6 days, and for a while on 2.1 as well.

Recently though ADW has been "updated".

I won't go in to details, but it seems to have lost a lot of it's settings, and has been made quite a bit uglier.

A couple days ago I switched over to LauncherPro Plus, just because I couldn't stand the new ADW.

Tbh it (LP) hasn't wowed me at all, it has some nice features such as 3d app drawer, and the customizeable dock is done rather well, but it just seems slightly off. LP also seems quite jerky when scrolling between homescreens, where ADW, even with the newest update, was very smooth.

It was all working so well at one point too :(

Can't figure what am I missing: I had ji6 kernel, flashed backsupport files and TW core v1, which worked fine, but I ran into an overheating issue and would like to go back to ji6. Saved the corresponding clockmod zip for ji6 kernel to sd, tried to flash - no go. What am I missing? Should I first "undo" backsupport somehow?
[Vibrant General] jayprime:
You may have to odin back to stock jfd then to ji6. But why don't you try one of jacs or kks kernels before you take the plunge back to stock.

Thanks, this is one option indeed. Btw, why would I need to flash jfd first? Can I just odin straight to stock ji6 rom (with the "upgrade" option?). Also, is there a way to revert backsupport to the original ji6 files? - that way I could just flash ji6 kernel again...

Haven't installed an apk file yet. I googled and these are the directions I got...

To install APK applications on your Android phone do the following:

1.Copy the APK file you want to install to your phone's memory card and insert the card into your Android phone.

2.Go to Android Market and search for the Apps Installer application.

3.Open it and click on the Install button.

4.After it is installed, just open it. It will show you all the APK files stored directly in the root directory of your memory card.

5.Just click on the application you want to install and it will be installed.

This is the easiest way? And I noticed there are a lot of apk installer apps in the market. Any particular one better than another?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
I just put the apk files on my SD card. Using file manager navigate to the file and click on it for it to install. I'm root and sideloading enable.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kiltedthrower:
So save file to laptop and then hook USB cable up and copy/paste? Or is it possible to use my Captivate to come to this page, click on the file, and have it installed that way?

Do you have a specific file manager you use?

Hey everyon, so through my email app I hve my hotmail account syncing up to it. The problem I have is that when I receive an email and delete it from my phone, it does not delete it from my email account. I only check my email by computer every couple of days so its a PITA to delete a couple hundred emails when I do get on a computer. Does anyone else experience this and if so is there a work around or a free app that will sync my email and delete them from the server as well as my phone

If you go into the email app, then 'Settings->Incoming server settings->Delete email from server', you can change it from 'Never' to 'When I delete from Inbox', although I have had mixed results with this actually working on my Hotmail account. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

As I understand it we can't really do anything fun until the bootloader is cracked, as unsigned ROMs cannot be flashed until then.

If anyone ever does crack it then we finally get to see what we can really do with the phone. Until then, even rooted, we're stuck playing with S-E's nerf firmware.

[Desire General] sctcts:
You need to avoid CDMA ROMs since your telus desire is a GSM phone, and flashing a CDMA radio/ROM could brick your phone, or at the very least cause the wireless radio to stop working.

There are many great GSM ROMs out there (in fact I believe they are more common than CDMA ROMs). A few popular ones are LeeDroid, Cyanogen, and OpenDesire, but there are many more.

i have stock 2.2 from telus ota thx to sctcts

ill look into it more before i jump in
[Desire General] sctcts:
I agree, the cell phone standards naming is rather confusing, especially since Telus used to operate on a CDMA network. The still do for older phones, but I believe they are trying to have everyone move over to the HSPA network now.

HSPA (or HSDPA or HSUPA) are slightly faster improvements to the UMTS (or 3G GSM or W-CDMA) standard, which in turn is an improvement to the GSM standard. These are all refered to in general as GSM.

CDMA usually refers to a different set of standards which includes CDMA2000, 1xRTT, and EVDO, among others.

Hello,

I am trying to remove a few unwanted programs that come with the new Tilt 2 Rom. I got rid of most of them with a program from this forum but there are a few that I still dont really want.

The big one I want gone is the Vlingo Voice App. I am never going to use this. Then there is the JETCET presenter 5, Opera (im just a sucker for IE just because I love MS so much), and ATT music. Any one know how I trash these suckers?

Another question is where in the registry can I find the start up programs?

Thanks

Hi all,

I have my Milestone 2 on pre-order and have a very basic quesiton. I have never owned an Android device before but am very much into using Linux etc and am quite keen to get stock Android running on my Milestone 2 when I finally get it.

My question is, will the ROMs that introduce stock Android onto the Droid 2 work without much trouble on the World Edition of the phone, or do you guys envisage a fair bit of work to get it rolling?

Apologies if this has been covered before or is in the wrong section of these forums.

Regards,

[Droid 2 General] petard:
Just so you know, Droid 2 Global (World Edition) is not the same phone as the Milestone 2.

Droid 2 Global has CDMA, GSM, UMTS while Milestone 2 is a different phone and has GSM and UMTS but no CDMA.

Verizon says the Droid 2 Global is Tri-Band UMTS, but I can't find any documentation on what bands exactly.

Droid Pro has Tri-Band UMTS, too, and according to some documentation it is 850/1900/2100 but that is not official.
[myTouch 4G General] ArcticWolf91:
So I want to use a navigation app on the MyTouch 4G without using any data. If I'm not mistaken, the Google Navigation app uses data to download the map of your current location. The new HTC Sense maps (again if I'm not mistaken) are saved on the phone and don't use data. So my question is if I can get the HTC maps on the MyTouch 4g (specifically without having to root the phone and flash the new Sense rom onto it)? :)

[myTouch 4G General] ArcticWolf91:
Its not that I don't want to use data with the phone, I do. Its just that I am considering switching to the cheaper limited data plans that T-Mobile will roll out in the near future. So thats why not using data for the nav would be great.
[myTouch 4G General] johnnyv29:
The "limited" data plan will only work with certain phones. The mt4g will be a premium device that will require the unlimited data plan.
[myTouch 4G General] ArcticWolf91:
Yeah but I'm using a G1, so I can just use that to get the new data plan, then I will buy the MyTouch 4G off-contract and swap the sim.
[myTouch 4G General] pgonzz:
Tricky fellow! ;) LOL! J/K

Sounds like a good idea.
[myTouch 4G General] Product F(RED):
If you're trying to avoid getting the unlimited plan by pretending you're still using your G1, it won't work. They have a database of all the IMEI #s and the IMEI of the phone you're using gets transmitted, so they can see what you're using.

Back on AT&T, I bought a used iPhone (original model) and spoofed the IMEI to avoid having to pay for the iPhone data plan. Not sure if you can do this on Android.

You can see what I'm talking about by going to your T-Mobile account online and somewhere it should say which phone you're using. If you switch to another T-Mobile phone, it'll change. Carriers only have the IMEI #s of the phones that are branded by them. So if you put your T-Mobile SIM in an AT&T or unlocked, unbranded phone, it wouldn't show that phone under your account.
