Everybody get ready for the longest post ever lol.

Also thread hijack - sorry...

@OJB - I have had allow purge on since it started, and with adw ex it's fast as can be. It may require other tweaking, which I do all the time.

Now, my initial (and likely final) verdict on the launchers: adw ex FTW. I really do like a few things about lpp, and I will keep using it for a while to be fair to it. The things I like about it so far are the scrolling dock, the lpp widgets, and the scrolling PAST your last screen to get the other "side" of the launcher, i.e. from screen 3 to screen 1. Other than that, adw ex has ALL of the same tweaks and options that lpp has, plus about a zillion more. With adw EX you can long press an icon and you get a popup menu: remove,change,uninstall. That may be the biggest thing for me since I use custom icons a lot (which lpp doesn't offer), and uninstall apps a lot. The other big thing about adw ex I like a lot is the "edit" button, where you can shuffle which screen is where in your setup without losing any of the screens, i.e. move screen 2 to screen 3 with one touch. Also this allows you to add a screen anywhere (like put a blank screen inbetween 2 and 3, or put a fifth screen after 4 or before 1) or delete any screen and it's content, while keeping the rest of your setup the same. I also like the swipe up to hide the note bar, and swipe down for the "hidden" dock. EX also allows you to change the size of the dock icons, which I used to make them the same size as app icons - nice. It has better app drawer settings and tweaks by far - you can make different app "catalogs" like games,work,apps, and within the app drawer you have arrows to move between them easily. I like the ability to move the trashcan (bottom or top), and there's a setting where when you are resizing widgets you can allow them to overlap while resizing for easy screen tweakage. It allows you to hide app labels (which lpp also allows) including folder labels (which lpp does not allow). You can have a vertical 2d or 3d app drawer, as well as a page by page horizontal, or super fling horizontal (my fav). You can hide app labels in the app drawer (which lpp doesn't do?). You can change the text color of the app labels in the drawer and the background color and transparency for the drawer. With EX you can two finger pinch the home screen to bring them all up into one screen in thumbs to nav through them (like the evo stock) and I don't think lpp allows that? You can customize the 6 tabs that open when you press the menu from the home screen - that I use and it's sweet. In adw it comes with iphoney icon bg squares (which I don't use) and some pre-loaded docks. Another cool dock feature with adw is you can remove it and gain another row for apps on the screen (can lpp do that? idk). Oh and for the speed testing (no data, just my opinion) I did both with the same screens (5), 2 of which had 4x5 apps, and the same widgets (9), they were both fast. EX was maybe a tiny bit faster, maybe not, lpp may have been a tiny bit smoother, maybe not. EX has all the fun animations, and the speed may be very slightly better with EX (though I haven't made tweaks for lpp). So, adw ex FTW.

Holy **** I am long winded, and I left out some of the tweaks for EX...

I think I just sold adw ex, and I should get a commision (I am a salesman by trade lol).
