For those of you interested, if you are upgrading from the "old" ADW, you can restore your old settings by backing up the current launcher and settings config, an use Astro or any explorer to rename adw_settings.xml and adw_launcher.db to adw_EX_settings.xml and adw_EX_launcher.db. Next you can import them in ADW Ex. Both files are in the root of the SD card. At least saves the trouble to figure out again what your original settings were and background etc...

I am a bit dissapointed that such a popular launcher doesn't recognise you were running a previous version and offers the option to import old settings on first startup. Still it is the best launcher IMHO. The new transition effects are cool!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] androidtoy09:
It tried it. The settings is a mess. ADW Ex is not user friendly, imo.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] borodin1:
+1

ADW ex is very nice but settings are not very intuitive and are not very user friendly. Now, of course, this a first release and I'm sure things will be cleaned up in updates. Launcher should not hijack "Settings" shortcutin the menu neither.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] likeitnot:
HOLY **** that is amazing actually! I'm incredibly impressed. Yeah opening up the app drawer is laggy a bit but I mean it's brand freakin new. I love it. Thanks for pointing me in its direction :D
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xl DIGITAL lx:
Yup I really like this but the only problem is that delay it has when opening the app drawer. Other than that, really great launcher.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] elracing21:
Your right itt does have a 1-2 second delay when oppening the drawer. But I rather that then the lagg the old adw got wile scrolling thru the drawer without the apps loading in there.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ctraywick1:
Yea I really like the new adw but my only complaint would be that I used to be able to have a transparent appdrawr background since I use the faded theme with black backgrounds which always looks good to me... I hate I can't find how to get it back like that and have to have a colored background
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] EuroSpeed:
You can still set the app drawer background to transparent, it just won't work with Vertical 4D app drawer style.

Just set the background color bar all the way to the left.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] .A.J.:
I don't use themes so I'm not sure if or how they affect settings. Did you try ADW Settings > UI Settings > Drawer Settings > Background color - slide the slider all the way to the left. (a bit late as EuroSpeed beat me to it. This is what happens when I answer a phone call in the middle of replying and get distracted)

My First impression

I got this last night and so far I like it very much. The "vertical old" App drawer style is much snappier. It doesn't lag like the ADW built in to CM 6.1.1 even though I have the background transparent and my live wallpaper running just as I did on the built in version. There are some things that I don't like such as the fact that it has removed the phone settings from the menu button and placed them under the ADW settings. Also, I have the Home button binding set to: Move to default desktop/show previews. If you start at the default desktop, go to settings and press the home button to return home it automatically goes to the previews instead of the default desktop and then the previews. Not a big deal but slightly annoying- I'm sure it will be addressed in an update. Overall, I really like this.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] skrewler:
I bought this yesterday. This isn't any more or less 'user friendly' than Launcher Pro or ADW.

Yeah, some of the settings need to be documented. *Snip*

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] EuroSpeed:
The settings take a little getting use to but I'm sure people will get the hang of it. I switched from LauncherPro Plus and I don't regret it so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ccb04:
Can't find the free version in the market. Can someone plz post the free version .apk??
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] EuroSpeed:
ADWLauncher is the free version and ADWLauncher EX is the paid version. There is no free version of ADW EX.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] quizesilver:
Hi how do you install this over the cm 6.1.1 adw??
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] .A.J.:
I didn't install it over the default one but along side it (so to speak). Maybe you could ADB pull the old one and push this one but I'm not sure if or how that would work. I just purchased and downloaded it. When you hold the Home button it should ask you which one you want to use. Set the new one as your default. If you're not sure which is the new one (I don't remember if it differentiated between ADW and ADW EX or not) select one without the default option checked. Trial and error will tell you which one to select with the default option checked in order to set the new one as your default option.

I believe there is an earlier post in this thread about how to use your old ADW settings and desktop configuration backup files with the new one. I think it was as simple as renaming the existing backup files. I just set my desktop back up as mine is simple.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] quizesilver:
haha that i what i think so trial and error... cause that wat i did, tot there is a proper method :p :D
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] KiNG OMaR:
If your not fimiliar with adb and have root explorer this will work :)

First, /data/app > find the ADW Ex Package > MOVE > go to /system/app > Mount R/W > PASTE

Next, in /system/app > Delete ADW.Launcher > Mount R/O.

You can rename the package in /system/app but you'll have to mount R/W again :)

NOTE: Don't forget to reboot after!! :p

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kingvaj23:
Does anyone know how I can do the transperant app drawer like the one given on cyanogen? So I can see my wallpaper
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] EuroSpeed:
Menu > ADW Settings > UI Settings > Drawer settings > Background Color > Set bar all the way to the left then click the center of the colored circle.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kingvaj23:
Yeah I did that and the app drawer color ended up being like creamish?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] EuroSpeed:
You are trying to get it to look like this right?

And your sure you changed the settings how I said?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kingvaj23:
Yeah exactly like that and it went creamish twice I rebooted and tried again and now its still black
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kingvaj23:
I figured it out turns out I was using the vertical 3D app drawer and once I switched to Vertical new it finally worked thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kingvaj23:
Also now that I have the transperant app drawer whenever I go back to the home screen the screen does small flicker

? Any word on what that can be?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] quizesilver:
i am lost... haha

but i when to install it and after which it sort of become default now...

---------- tried using the root explorer.

followed your step. seem ok.

BUT what does the above step really do?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Utorrent76:
It's nice but,

I really like it has tons of features & all kinds of customization options but it crashed on me 2x & it doesn't seem to play nice with setcpu. Uninstalled and sticking with launcher pro for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] elracing21:
Hmm I had mine stutter twice. The dev told me it was one of my widgets. Now that you mention it, could be setcpu. That widget is always having problems. I think they need to update the widget at least.

But I haven't had any problems since the 2x it stuttered and I'm still running setcpu.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gbarayah:
Installed this afternoon and thus far I am enjoying all the customization options that I have with the launcher. It is fast and zips through everything without any lag or FC's.

I am running with the SetCpu widget and haven't had any problems... yet.

I like having the ability to customize the app drawer as well as add some beauty to the device like transitions and modifying application icons.

Definitely not a 'perfect' launcher but its an improvement from the free version.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jayarmstrong:
working great for me

I moved it into /system/apps & renamed it, as mentioned above. Now it's the only launcher installed. I was also able to rename the backup files from ADWLauncher to adw_ex_launcher.db & adw_ex_settings.xml and it imported them fine ... that saved me about 45m :)

Using the 4D drawer or the vertical new, I'm seeing zero lag. This is on my D1 that could never quite scroll the ADWLauncher drawer buttery smooth. The settings & menu definitely need more work but I think the dev's heading in the right direction as the old menu was pretty scattered.

I mainly bought this to support the dev & to increase the icon size while playing with some theme ideas but didn't expect it to run faster; it definitely does. Now if I can just fit all of my apps in internal memory, I can satisfy my itch to upgrade until a tegra2 GSM phone comes out with an unlocked bootloader.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ThaGeNeCySt:
Can someone tell me if having an abnormal amount of Rows (5) affects the performance of the launcher? (stuttering, choppiness, etc)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] EuroSpeed:
I have mine set to 5 rows and 5 columns and there is no lag at all.
[Nook Color General] toborraelcun:
So, I bought my NC today and the I absolutely love it. As soon as I got it I rooted it and all. Everything was working fine until I noticed one issue, the multi touch is only registering two points. I even tried multi touch tester and only two points work at a time . Google searches don't bring up much so I have to ask is this a defected NC, is there some step I need to take to activate it, or do they all only have two point multitouch?

This and the lack of bluetooth would lead me to return it to get an archos 70.

Thanks in advance and merry christmas. :)

If I'm not mistaken, I think that's installed along with auto-nooter, and changes it from no multi-touch to 2-point multi-touch.

Toastcfh said he will work on this as soon as he and Shinzul polish off WiMax. The only other way we would get the camera working faster is if another dev took over, or HTC released the kernel source like they are required to.

Until then, just hang tight, or work on it yourself if you can. :)

[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
I'm probably the only person on this planet that would ever download a 20.5-meg, 2426-page document titled "S5PC110 RISC Microprocessor User's Manual", but if there are other hardware freaks out there interested, here you go:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=repository&id=644&c=samsung_s5pc110_microprocessor_user_manual_1.00

As you may or may not know, the S5PC110, better known as Hummingbird, is the SoC (System on a Chip) that is the brain of your Epic. Now, when you have those moments when you really just gotta know the memory buffer size for your H.264 encoder or are dying to pore over a block diagram of your SGX540 GPU architecture, you can! :D

( Note: It does get a little bit dry at parts. Unless you're an ARM engineer, I suppose. )

Sent from my Nexus S with a keyboard
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
Interesting - the complete technical design of the Hummingbird chips.

After reading your blog as to how Hummingbird got its extra performance, I still wonder at times - did we make the right choice in getting this phone the Epic 4G (I bought one for $300 off contract and imported it to Canada) knowing that there are going to be ARM Cortex A9 CPUs coming around in just a couple of months? We know that in the real world, Hummingbird is more powerful than Snapdragon and the OMAP 3600 series, while benchmark scores tend to not reflect real world performance.

Performance-wise: It's know that the out of order A9 parts are at least 30% faster clock for clock in real world performance. There will be dual and maybe quad core implementations. What's really up in the air is the graphics performance of the A9 parts. There's now the Power VR SGX 545, the Mali 400, and the Tegra 2.

Edit: There is also the successor, the Mali T-604. I don't expect to see this in a phone in the near future. Nor do I expect the Tegra 3. Maybe close to this time next year though.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Your always going to be playing catchup..I personally think the Epic has great hardware for the time...I mean on Samsung's roadmap for 2012/13 is their Aquila processor which is a quad-core 1.2ghz..its going to be endless catchup..every year there will be something that completely over shallows the rest..
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
No, but I mean, if you buy the latest technology when its released, you'll be set for quite some time.

For example, if you were to buy the one of the first Tegra 2 phones, its unlikely that anything is going to be beating that significantly until at least 2012 when the quad core parts begin to emerge.

It takes a year or so from the time that a CPU is announced to the time that it gets deployed in a handset. For example, the Snapdragon was announced in late 2008 and the first phones (HD2) were about a year later. IF you buy an A9 dual core part early on, you should be set for some time.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Well, I got the Epic knowing Tegra 2 was coming in a few months with next-gen performance. I was badly in need of a new phone and the Epic, while not a Cortex A9, is no slouch.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Thats relative, in terms of GPU performance our Hummingbird doesn't do so badly..the GPU the TI chose to pair with the dual core OMAP is effectively a PowerVR SGX540..the Snapdragon that is rumored to be in the dual cores next summer is also on par with our GPU performance...so yes we will loose out to newer hardware..which is to be expected but I wouldn't consider it a slouch either...

The first phone was a TG01, that said I guarantee you that a year if not less from the first Tegra release there will be a better processor out...its bound to happen..

Edit: Some benchmarks for Tablets:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4067/nvidia-tegra-2-graphics-performance-update

Though I am not sure if its using both cores or not...also Tegra 2 I think buffers at 16bit..while Hummingbird buffers at 24bit..
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
AFAIK, dual-core support is only fully supported by Honeycomb. But if you feel like buying into NVIDIA's explanation of Tegra 2 performance, check this out: http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/t...-Multi-core-CPUs-in-Mobile-Devices_Ver1.2.pdf
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I see I actually read before that Gingerbread would allow for dual core support but I guess that was delayed to honeycomb...

either way this would mean even if a Tegra based phone comes out it wont be able to utilize both cored until at least mid next year.

I can't open pdfs right now but I read a whitepaper with performance of hummingbird and Tegra 2 compared both on single core and dual core..is that the same one?

One thing though is Nvidia and ATI are quite known for tweaking their gfx cards to perform well on benchmarks...I hope its not the same with their CPUs :/
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
Here are some additional benchmarks comparing the Galaxy Tab to the Viewsonic G Tablet:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4062/samsung-galaxy-tab-the-anandtech-review/5

It's possible that the Tegra 2 isn't optimized yet. Not to mention, Honeycomb will be the release that makes the most of dual cores. However, there are lackluster performance gains in terms of graphics - most of it seems to be purely CPU gains in performance.

I'm not entirely sure that Neocore is representative of real world performance either. It's possible that it may have been optimized for some platforms. Furthermore, I would not be surprised if Neocore gave inflated scores for the Snapdragon and it's Adreno graphics platform. Of course, neither is Quadrant.

I think that real world games like Quake III based games are the way to go, although until we see more graphics demanding games, I suppose that there's little to test (we're expecting more games for Android next year).

Finally, we've gotten to a point for web browsing where its the data connection HSPA+, LTE, or WiMAX that will dictate how fast pages load. It's like upgrading the CPU for a PC. I currently run an overclocked q6600 - if I were to upgrade to say a Sandy Bridge when it comes out next year, I don't expect significant improvements in real world browsing performance.

Eventually, the smartphone market will face the same problem that the PC market does. Apart from us enthusiasts who enjoy benchmarking and overclocking, apart from high end gaming, and perhaps some specialized operations (like video encoding which I do a bit of), you really don't need the latest and greatest CPU or 6+ GB of RAM (which many new desktops come with). Same with high end GPUs. Storage follows the same dilemna. I imagine that as storage grows, I'll be storing FLAC music files instead of AAC, MP3, or OGG, and more video. I will also use my cell phone to replace my USB key drive. Otherwise, there's no need for bigger storage.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Gingerbread doesn't have any dual-core optimizations. It has some JIT improvements in addition to some other minor enhancements, but according to rumor, Honeycomb is where it's at, and it's why the major tablet manufacturers are holding off releasing their Tegra 2 tablets until it's released.

And yeah, that paper shows the performance of several different Cortex A8s (including Hummingbird) compared to Tegra 2, and then goes on to compare Tegra 2 single-core performance vs dual.
