[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] nastyba:
can you create there activities like in LauncherPro ? I think that activities and gestures with dock are the best features of Launcher Pro. And Icons 5x4 looks better then 4x4 or 5x5
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] nastyba:
have you tryed LauncherPro ? I think that Go Launcher is slower
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] YoSeQuienSoy:
Yes, i tested with older firmwares. But i will check it out with JPA ;)

EDIT:

Apps exploring is very fast in LaunchePro but vertical scrolling doesn't likes me, i prefer horizontal.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] arunmcops:
I use LauncherPro. 8.2. Extremely fast and responsive....
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] abhi0n0nakul:
go launcher is great. with ios like features.....

i have used every home replacement, but surely this is diff.

home orientation change is the fastest among all the launchers..

i have go launcher only and uninstalled all launchers even tw launcher thru titanium backup.....
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] rex4u:
I prefer them in this order :

ADW Launcher (hiding dock and resizable widgets are my favourites)

Go Launcher (a very complete package but consumes a lot of battery)

Launcher Pro (activities and swipe gestures are favourites here)

Zeam (very light weight)

Live Home (3D awesome effects)

I have all of them and keeps changing (killing all other through Task Manager) as per my mood ;)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] devilgod18:
Launcher Pro is the best of all....

Using stock launcher from Gingerbread modified for 2.2
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] nastyba:
this is a nice analysis :) I use LauncherPro because of gestures and activities.

Which one is for you the most used one ? :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] nastyba:
what is the advantage of it ? Does it have activities like LauncherPro ?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] madhuranand007:
I use ADWLauncher EX v1.0

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10076896#post10076896
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] abhi0n0nakul:
yes .... now adw launcher ex is the best one out there...............
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] rex4u:
ADW and then Go Launcher.

Zeam when I am running low on resources ;)

Launcher Pro and Live Home when I need beauty over substance ;)

And I did not like GingerBread launcher. Its just bland for its size :(
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] nastyba:
since now - I agree.. but I'm looking forward the new SPB Shell.. :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] rex4u:
Me too..........

Its looking awesome :D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] detlefroeckert:
I use ADWLauncher Ex v1.0. It's very customizable and fast. I like it!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] nastyba:
Yes, I was testing ADW L Ex - but for me is LauncherPro more confortable :) I do not need so many options and I think that LauncherPro is faster and supports directly actions.

And I can use email icon for inbox and swype email icon for write new email, the same with sms icon.

It's just pity I do not have plus version for some widgets, but you can get many widgets from market :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Gsam101:
I switched to ADWLauncher. Fast, simple, it's perfect for me.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kstnPL:
Go launcher is perfect for me ;)

launcher pro is beautiful and fast (with 3d! view)!!

with touchwiz i had to wait 2-3 minutes to see my apps when i boot my phone.

Currently i use the SPB Mobile Shell - Love the Spin

Next in line is the Launcher 7 - Windows themed Style FTW!

And then Launcher Pro - Best among the launchers :D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ron_gangte:
I use GO Launcher EX at the moment.

But, I'd like to list my other favs:

1. Launcher 7 - The Best Windows Phone Launcher!!

2. Zeam - The Lightest Launcher!!

3. ADW Launcher EX and LauncherPro Plus - Unless you purchase the EX or Plus version, GO Launcher EX is way better! :)

4. SPB Shell - I'd have been using it if it's modded or fixed for our phone!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] luckyankit:
i have tested many.. and found launcher pro stilll the best one only...

I uses ADW Launcher EX. I tried almost all launchers and this is the best for me.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] hugo_trol:
I've used AdwLauncherEx for a few days, but it didnt fit me well.

For now Im using GoLauncher and as for me its the best launcher. Going to menu by swinging finger from up to down on the desktop is nice. One thing I dont like is that when You have screen locked and unlock it, wallpaper moves a little, doesnt look natural. Thats a little annoying but I dont know how to fix it.. Rest is great.

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] i_rnb:
I use Adw launcher ex.. low memory eater..

Go launcher is really cool but eats huge portion of Ur memory.. :/
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] szewc1:
Can't agree with that. I was a long time LauncherPro user. It used to reload every now and then, and free ram usually oscillated around 20-30mb (even though launcher alone was using about 12mb).

Now with Go Launcher - free ram easily reaches 50mb despite the fact that launcher is able to eat up to 30mb of ram (momentarily and theoretically). Don't ask me how is that possible, maybe GO works well with V6 supercharger. Plus it has built in real task manager and font changer.

Tried ADW as well, didn't impress me - slow and overloaded with eye-candies.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] bende.laszlo:
Zeam launcher, really lightweight.

[Droid X General] DNak206:
So after coming from a Windows phone for years, I'm beginning to realize Android is incredibly different.. and of course, in a good way. I've added all the usuals, FB, emails, twitters, etc.. and finally figured a good way to handle contact photos, emails, social networking, etc... however, I have paid a price in probably changing a bunch of settings I never should have.

Am reading that sometimes (as I am unrooted/unmodded) that doing a factory wipe can help clear some of that stuff out.

Q1: Is this possible on Android without root and if so, what do people recommend?

Q2: I'm assuming it will save my paid apps?

Q3: When creating a new text message, is there a reason I'm having to scroll through work and home numbers of my contacts instead of it defaulting to whichever is listed as mobile? Hoping this is the stock SMS app that has the issue and I can find a separate one to fix?

Thanks in advance.
[Droid X General] gmenfan83:
1.doing a foctory wipe will set your x back to pretty much out of the boxi would just clear cache instead

2.yes your paid apps are synced through the market and google and will always be there

3.if they have more then one number it will show
[Droid X General] DNak206:
Awesome, thanks.. How do I clear cache and why wouldn't Android recognize the mobile # as a higher priority when drafting a text? Windows did that, surprised Android doesn't!
[Droid X General] gmenfan83:
to be honest im not sure why it wouldnt recognize it as a higher priority i will do some research on the topic......to clear your cache go into recovery mode

power phone of

then hold the power button and the home button and screen will turn on

keep holding them simultaneously until you see a droid guy with an orange triangle

once you see the triangle let off the buttons and press search button

this will bring up some options for you

now you scroll up and down with your volume rocker and select with the menu button or camera button

select what you want to do in your case its wipe cache

you go back using the power button and just select reboot and thats it
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sHaHiN786:
Is there any app or customization out there that can skip music with long press on the volume rocker? This is a feature I miss, which the iPhones had, I hate having to press the unlock button (which is already annoying) and then change music, I want to be able to change music without touching the damn screen, any info would help.

Thank You

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamStone:
First you would need to install a nolock app or widget, I use Lock Screen Switch widget but No Lock is good also if you prefer an app. Then you would need to install the button remapper or one like it in this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850464 . I think then you would be able to do it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borzo83:
thanks, i will try
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borzo83:
i've found a better solution,

just download the "Headset Volume Controller" Widget, than put it on your home screen and activate the Widget

than in the htc music player, the controlls are working as follow:

middle klick

play/pause

top/bottom klick

while playing->volume control

while pausing->last/next track

so if you want to skip a track, just click once on the middle button to pause, and the up/down keys work as track control, otherwise while playing the keys work as volume control

works with my htc desire hd and the standard music player.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borzo83:
now there is a much better solution, now it acts exact like the iPhone headset control.

just download the "Headset Volume Controller" Widget, than put it on your home screen and activate the Widget

after that download and just install this app "Headset Button Controller"

now the headset control works like on the iphone:

1x (middle button) play/pause

2x (middle button) skip track

3x (middle button) last track

+/- Volume Up/Down

Hey all, I have rooted and flashed my fist android phone thanks to this forum. And also soft bricked it during a voodoo 1click lag fix install and saved in Odin and re-flashed again lol.

I am looking for a kernel (like I know exactly what it is) that will increase the performance of my device. I currently am running Axura Final and have CMW and Titanium Backup installed.

What kernel would be best for my current set-up and p[referably one that I did not have to use Odin to start the process all over. Looking for a sort of download to SD and reboot in recovery and install type thing!

Thanks in Advance!

Here is a thread with all of Eugen's kernels, but you need to register beforehand. Also, stock EB kernel is good, it's found there...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aenima4six2:
I'm using "B_Stock_1120_100 Kernel" with all tweaks enabled and JFS on all partitions.. About the best stable experience you can get on any JK2 or JK6 based Froyo build IMHO..

Going forward, you may want to read up in here or post in General Q&A to avoid a flame fest, as this is not exactly development thread worthy...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irockstar661:
Thanks, I appreciate the replies. Just read the forum rules, I guess this is in the wrong section. WEll since I have your attention, the B Stock kernel you linked me to, is it as simple as installing on sd card then reboot to recovery and load from zip?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aenima4six2:
Yes, if you are booting into and flashing from clockwork recovery..

You can put the clockwork recover update.zip in the root of you INTERNAL SD card and boot into from the stock 2E recovery. Alternatively, you can install Rom Manager and have it propagate the flash commands within android.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irockstar661:
Perfect... Also, when I use titanium Backup, Will it save all of my current apps as well? Then I just restore from Titanium Backup again right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aenima4six2:
To answer your question simply, yes, TB will backup and restore the APK an Data associated with a 3rd party application. Take caution when restoring anything other than 3rd party apps or apps from the market as you can easily make a mess if restoring from different Roms or Android builds all together.

You can do so via the batch menu, selecting to restore/backup all apps with data. If you are in fact a "N00b", I'd stay away from restoring system data and apps until you have a better feel with what can safely be altered. Also, if you don't recognize something in the list, don't restore it.

Good luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irockstar661:
one more thing, If after titanium Backup I decide to go to R13, MUST i re-flash to stock and re-root and then flash R13, or can i just move R13 files to sd and load via CW
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superste2201:
Hi Guys,

I have a HTC Desire with Defrost 6.1 + Data2SD.

However whenever I connect it to USB it always has USB debugging turned on, I can turn this on and it will work as normal until I reboot then it will be turned on again and I have to turn it off.

Why does it do this? Can I turn it off permanently (not totally remove it just have it set to off by default when I reboot) ?

Many thanks,

Stephen
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulW21781:
I'd imagine that, with most other AOSP/CM-built ROM's, it has the following set in the default.prop file (contained in the boot image with the kernel)

ro.debuggable=1

persist.service.adb.enable=1

Both helps to debug/test/check ROM's when they are made, as devs/users can get straight into adb from boot of a freshly wiped & installed ROM to either view logcat output or fiddle about to resolve & sort out any issues which may be present after each release.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superste2201:
Hmmm ok so how can I disable this?

I have tried editing the file in the root of the phone but it seems to get overwritten, I'm guessing this is from the file contained in the boot image like you said.

Please bear with me, I'm new to android.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Since it's internal memory, can/will all 16 GB be used for apps?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Nope, it's partitioned. Something like 2gb is partitioned for apps, and the rest shows up just like an sd card would.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Interesting. But at least then, is it an actual 2GB? Because that's still a hell of a lot more than the ~200 MB I have currently.
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
Ah, interesting. I just asked a question in another thread wondering if we could EXT partition the built in memory, but if they section out space that is awesome, especially if it's 2GB as my current EXT is 1GB and it's not even near full.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
lol..I think we're the same group asking the same questions.

Doesnt seem anyone is certain. Problem again is forward thinking. 2gig Enough now ? Sure...but what if I want to cache a crap ton of maps ? What if all this 3d/opengl nonsense actually does help game devs what then...games will get larger and larger. Will it be enough for 6 months or a year from now ?
[Nexus One General] sstang2006:
This is exactly how rumors start. When has google or samsung said that the Nexus S will only have 2gb for apps? :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
While it is true no one stated this officially.... the captivate does this exact thing. 16gb built in with 2gb squared off for app storage.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Lol, anyone remembers this game in progress?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRDmY0H72r8

It's supposed to have 1 GB of game data.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I can't remember where I read that the iNand is partitioned. I can't find the source now... I thought it was the Techcrunch review of the Engadget preview, but no dice. If I'm wrong, then I'm guessing it's on large partition with a .secure folder like Froyo.
[Nexus One General] subramanianv:
Look at this picture from Engadget. I am guessing from this, it is just 1 GB for the apps.

http://www.engadget.com/photos/google-nexus-s-hands-on/#3644045

Edit: To be precise, it is the picture 44 of 53.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
16GB and they only let us use 1GB to store apps? What do they expect us to do with the other 15?
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
If you're using the phone as a media player, 16gb is definitely not enough for songs and videos and ebooks. What about photos? Not to mention map cache files for any navigation app you are using.

That's why some of us need removable storage...
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
what I really don't get is that flash memory is pretty damn cheap...why don't they go for broke with the storage?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Who cares? 1 GB is still 5 times more than what I have now.

By the time that becomes a limiting factor for me, it'll be time to upgrade again :cool:

Is this how all Galaxy S phones currently work? 1 GB of app space? Does anyone have one handy?
[Nexus One General] ranova:
I had a captivate (but got rid of it to get a nexus one) and you do get 2gb of app storage. I had about 200 or so apps installed with about a gb left.

With the n1 with dark's a2sd, I had to cut back on a lot of apps, about 130 now, and about 30mb left on the phone. Without darktremor's a2sd, i would probably only get 50 or so [small] apps
[Nexus One General] cTrox:
Don't worry, xda will have a partition hack in about 2 days after release ;)
[Nexus One General] britoso:
1GB for apps/cache is a lot.

I currently have ~700MB partitioned off for apps2sdext. With the cache moved to this partition along with apps and app-data, I'm 68% full. This is with 213 apps.

Remember that games usually use the sdcard for their files.

[Nexus One General] nexus5894:
It should have a huge amount of app storage, because apps can be installed on the data partition and the SD card/storage partition. It's probably about 200MB for the system partition, the rest can be used for app storage. On the Galaxy S phones and Galaxy Tab running 2.2, which have SD slots, you can install apps either on the data partition or the internal storage, not the SD card.
[Nexus One General] nxt:
Yep, 1gig for internal storage (for app installs/etc..), and 14gigs for internal "external" storage.

Odd because other Galaxy S phones (Captivate/Vibrant), has 2 gigs for Internal Storage and 14 gigs of internal "external" storage.
