[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zorak950:
Personally, I have three complaints about ADWLauncher EX.

First, the alpha blending option on icon select is basically useless since you can't get rid of the orange-yellow default icon select glow; the user-defined color is just overlaid on top of that. The reason this especially bothers me is that this feature worked fine on ADW.Launcher, and EX broke it. AnderWeb says this will be fixed in a future release, though no hints where it sits on his priority list.

Second, the 4D app drawer doesn't allow alpha blending to see your wallpaper in the background. AnderWeb cites lag issues as the reason for this, which I totally understand, and of my three gripes this is most minor. Still, it would be cool if this were worked on.

Third, this being the only gripe I haven't bothered AnderWeb about yet (I figured he was probably tired of hearing from me after our exchange about the first two), I don't like that the system Settings have been pushed off the main page in EX. This is in a sense the most serious problem since it's one of convenience rather than aesthetics. Some may say it's stupid to complain about one extra press, but since ease of use is a factor, I think it's legitimate. ADWLauncher EX could easily put the Settings button on the main list by moving any two of its own desktop management buttons (Add, Wallpaper, Edit, Unlock Desktop) into an extended menu (like ADW.Launcher) or any one of them into the ADWSettings menu. Better yet, get rid of the Search button to make room. Is there any Android device that doesn't have a Search button built into it? (Yes, I know the SGS doesn't technically have a Search button, but a long-press on Menu accomplishes the same thing, and isn't any slower than hitting Menu and selecting Search on the touchscreen).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] deyna:
I bought it more to support the developer then anything and I don't use any of the features that aren't in the normal ADW. I am looking forward to updates for more new things and fixed to the three things listed in the post above
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rockb.blues:
Hi guys loving this app since I got it and I especially love how easy it is to work with.

Two questions though. Is there any way to have it NOT meddle with the app drawer? The stock drawer is beautiful on my nexus s and the 4d one from this app looks like good but not great; not as smooth.

Similarly is there any way to not allow themed icons carry over to the app drawer? Problem is only some of the apps I'm using have themes icons and while I can change the icons on the actual home screens, they won't change in the app drawer. Is there something I overlooked?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Vulpix:
I'm using ADW too, and I'm glad Pure and Folder Organizer is working great on it. Couldn't get Pure Messenger to load up properly on LauncherPro...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tominater12:
Just got it and man it is amazing. I can not believe how much better it is than stock.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
I knew you could hide the dock! I'm not insane after all! Swype up on the application drawer icon to hide it :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] deyna:
Doing that brings out a bar that you can put Apps on. If you have nothing on it then that's why it seems like all it did is hide the dock. If you don't want the dock there is an option to remove it under ui settings > main dock > main dock style
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Vulpix:
Any reason why you guys are not choosing Launcher Pro over ADW?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
EX has more features for customization and is much more stable. I never used the LPP widgets, so they were a non-factor.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zorak950:
Because ADW was the first one I tried and I've never had a complaint about it that made it worth switching.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
Because IMHO ADW is the best :D Faster, more to it ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MaliceOmega:
my only real reason for having launcher pro was that they did essentially the same nthing but LP have the 3d rolodex looking app drawer. with ADW ex they added that and more. the screen transitions between homescreen is enough to make you go ADW and never look back lol :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] 651stp:
only thing i dont like about EX so far is that i cant change the dock by myself through settings like LP. Unless im missing something here, i went through the whole settings and couldnt find it. could only find "themes" which i want to have my own style of dock :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] nxt:
Version 1.1 of EX is out, also

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zorak950:
Icon select alpha blending seems to be fixed. Now if only we could get the Settings icon back on the main Menu bar, I'll be a happy camper. Death to the Search button!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] YuryAC:
I just picked this up for my Nexus S. It is a great addition to my set of homescreen replacements, but i jut keep going back to Stock. The options and additions on ADW are great, i just can't get over how much better the stock launcher runs. Also im a sucker for the 3d drawer, and with ADW it just doesn't run nearly as smooth.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rashad1:
There is a stock theme for ADW launcher, and the 3D app drawer runs just as smoothly for me.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] brianbrain:
Same here. I love the stock launcher. The only thing that has me tempted right now is what SPB might have up their sleeves with their unreleased launcher..
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jacksonj51:
This thread is about ADW freak.... not the stock launcher.

The stock launcher absolutely blows IMO unless you like a slower UI and no customizations.

for reals player?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] PlankLongBeard:
Loving 1.1 =)

Sent from a Crop Circle... With a Nexus S :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] YuryAC:
Are there certain hardware acceleration settings or framerate settings i can change, that I haven't found? The 3d drawer seriously runs 1/2 speed of the stock launcher in terms of opening and scroll.. Maybe its just my phone... Got any tips?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jacksonj51:
You must not have your settings set up right.... make sure all your scrolling speeds are cranked as well as shutting down your animations unless you like them of course... you should notice a drastic improvement in speed with ADW launcher.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] djmaxi:
Same here, as far as i notice the stock launcher in gingerbread runs with the help of hard acceleration, maybe in next updates...?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Menace II Society:
Yeah.. I downloaded it and I'm not really a fan of it. Luckily I got my refund in time.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mav3r1ck:
Same here. ADW EX is not as smooth as the stock launcher. Neither is LauncherPro.

On Froyo they both were better, but in Gingerbread, the stock launcher is much, much smoother, especially the fly-in effect and drawer scrolling.

Hopefully we'll get updates on our favorites launchers !
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mav3r1ck:
Also, what I said above is only true on a still background. When using live wallpapers, they're all choppy.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jivemaster:
Yeah just got my Nexus S today and was disappointed at adw ex's lack of speed compared to the former google phone. My Nexus One felt faster using adw ex. On the S it's as choppy as hell.

The Nexus S launcher is as smooth as butter.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zorak950:
Main Menu customization in 1.2. AnderWeb, I want to make out with you. I'm pretty sure you're a guy, and I'm straight, but just say the word and I will ravish you.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] horatiopositronic:
I haven't been having the same choppy performance other folks have been reporting. As such I'm really enjoying all of the customization options. The ability to edit shortcuts in place is great when I decide to change the icon image.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ald3n3:
I've been playing around with it but i can't figure out how to resize icons that are already placed on the screens. On the regular adw launcher you just hold the icon and drop it on the same position and it lets you drag to make the icon bigger. Is there a way to do this on adw ex?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
Long-press the widget, then hit edit :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] lynxboy:
Definitely a Gingerbread issue! Ever since moving to the CM7 nightly's on my Desire HD both ADW EX and LP have ground to a halt. No real problems with the GB launcher but I miss my scrollable widgets!

Regards.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Tried this. You get a standard edit screen. Allows you to use other icon or change file name. No resizing!

DL09

Can someone post info regarding DL09??

Is this really a new leak? If so is there a change log / bug fix list?

Nav volume would be a GREAT start!!!

A leaked bug fix is not what the Fascinate need at this time (just my opinion).

DJ05, Super Dark ROM, JT 12/12 running GREAT!!
[Fascinate General] bendbowden:
It is the update Sammy sent VZW to replace DJ05. Not sure if Verizon scratched it also.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
If you have questions about DL09 please take them to IRC.

You will get your answers there.
[Fascinate General] imneveral0ne:

[Fascinate General] onemotodroid:
Okay Thanks - I will Pass on more 2.1 Leaks

Please no more 2.1 LEAKS

DJ05 - Super Dark Rom - JT 12/12 Running GREAT

I rooted phone - updated to DJ05 - this fixed the GPS

I am HAPPY!!!

no need for a second 2.1 Leak - no need for me to research a second 2.1 leak based on above info

Next Steps (for me): 2.2 / 2.3 rooted ROM when posted on XDA

Thanks Guys for your hard work.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nissan350:
Hello fellow G2 owners!

So I was using my G2 earlier on speaker mode during a call and I was messing with the capacitive buttons when I long pressed search by mistake (which brings up voice search) and when the prompt came up to start voice search it said "audio problem" and it cut off my voice so the person on the other end couldn't hear me, but I could hear them. So I hung up the phone and called the person back thinking it would fix the problem but it didn't. So I rebooted and that's what fixed it. Just wanted to know if anyone else noticed this?

BTW, I'm on CM6.1.1

Thanks in advance and Merry almost Christmas to you all!!!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silkworm:
I have just updated my Desire to what I think was 2.29 following a system software notification. It went through ok, rebooted and said sucessful, however, it will not recognise my SIM, I keep getting "No SIM card in phone error". The SD card is mounted ok, and from what I can see everything else appears to be working.

Info;

Software number;

2.29.405.5

I haven't rooted the phone, messed about with it in ANYway...I have rebooted the phone and reseated the SIM about 10 times now, no change...

Please please is there anything I can do? Am I going to have to factory reset?

thanks

Anthony
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silkworm:
Any ideas?? Sorry I'm completely stuck and won't be able to get hold of T-mobile for days yet....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonegunman:
Try another sim card in the phone, test your sim card in another phone, post back after you have done that as you can see what is at fault.:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silkworm:
Arrgh, sorry I was sure I'd typed all that down...

Yes I already have put another SIM in, a pay as you go which also doesn't work. I have tried putting my SIM in another phone and it works fine...so definitly not that.

T-Mobile have no ideas, they hadn't heard of it, they gave me HTC's number but they shut naturally....and will be until Wed at the earliest :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonegunman:
Sounds to me as the sim reader on the phone is faulty, you can try pushing on it and holding it and see if that helps, if not you are stick till you can send the phone away for repair, seems odd tho that it happened after the update.......
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexandrw:
I have the same problem with my Desire. After the update, it won't recongnize the SIM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonegunman:
Can you some how re-run the update or do a ruu file update.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexandrw:
I tried with another SIM in my phone and it's working. So is it possible that the update damaged the SIM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonegunman:
I would not think so, sometimes if you have a older sim it does not work, it looks like you sim card is at fault, phone up your operater and see if you can get a newer one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexandrw:
Ok then. Thank you for the advices.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
The OP's problem maybe because of the new radio that is included in this OTA.

It's a bit strange as this is the first reported issue with a sim that isn't working after an applied OTA (as far as I know).

It's a general rule of the thumb that, if you have a problem occurring right after an OTA, then you should reinstall it. So you might give it a try - download the OTA, and reapply it manually.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silkworm:
Yes the SIM works in another phone. And I hadn't touched the phone after the update, just let it reboot and it failed to recognise.

This is a good idea though, I will try and download the update and install it again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silkworm:
Am I gonna have to flash the whole phone to do this? From what I've read you can't just apply the small (5mb update) you have to do the big 168mb one? Sorry, n00b at this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Only the update (5MB).

If you flash the 168MB one you'll lose your data, as it's a complete ROM, not an update.

Edit: The OTA seems to be missing from shipped roms but I've found it over at some german blog and uploaded it here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silkworm:
Thanks for the info. Ok I manually updated, which went through ok again, but no change :(

I will have to try factory reset, I just can't see what would stop the SIM being recognised.....

Unless theres anything else you can think of? I will perform hard reset...really don't want to though.

Hoping my phone isn't knackered.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
If you were fine before going to the latest update, you could try to revert back by flashing the 2.29.405.2 rom which is in essence the same as the latest. Download this 161MB zip http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip

Then rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" (zip is the extension, not part of the name)

Put in in your sd card,

without

placing it in any folders

Turn off, Turn on holding the volume down key, and you shall be asked to apply it.

This will erase all your data, just like a factory reset.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave G:
any luck with this, just done the same on mine NOT rooted and NOT branded Desire on Orange. I can see all the networks when I scan for them but whem I try and connect to one it says 'your SIM card does not allow these services' or something similar

What version did you update to the 405.2 or 405.5?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave G:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonegunman:
Go back to 405.2 if you can seems the 05 update is the problem here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave G:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonegunman:
Check a few post back for the link to a ruu file or see if shipped-rom has your orange one.

[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Hey all, I wanted to share with you all this great srcript for png crushing your .png's using the Brute method which is the best method to use.

This is the script I use made by Lithid on cyanogenmod forums that he gave to me. This will only work for linux! Thanks again Lithid!

Usage:

Step 1:

First cd to your folder that you want to crush. All I do is drag the folders that I want to crush like drawable-mdpi ect to my home folder. That way the only thing I have to cd to in termial is the folder itself. /home/$cd drawable-mdpi. This can be used to boot animations as well! However I will not be having a tutorial on how to make boot animations.

Step 2:

Copy and paste this code into termial and press enter. It could take awhile for it to finish, and uses the Brute method which is the best method of compression available, enjoy!

#!/bin/sh
for png in `find $1 -name "*.png"`;
do
echo "crushing $png"
pngcrush -brute "$png" temp.png
mv -f temp.png $png
done;
[G1 Android Development] dumfuq:
You might want to make sure it doesn't touch the .9 files if they are present in the folder.

stolen straight from vendor/cyanogen/tools/opticharger...

for x in `find . -name "*.png" | grep -v "\.9.png$" | tr "\n" " "`
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
actually it doesn't effect the .9.'s because it's not changing the dementions of them, just the size in megabits. I used it on my latest theme and it works fine

Hello im new to android world.. l have a HTC Desire that i have boughted it about a couple of months... I rooted my phone with the untevoked method.. About 4 days ago an update came to my phone (that was about 28 mb) and i sucussefully installed it through the recovery (install updte.zip option).. Yesterday i resevesd another update (5 mb) but i cant install it, even through the recovery.. The error says assert failed and returns error code 7. So how can i install this update?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
You should know that root+ota=fail

The other fail - "assert failed apply_patch_check" is because it failed to verify the current version of your system, that is because it's modified (rooted and probably some other mods). Another reason maybe because the file you've downloaded is corrupted (I haven't heard of a 5mb OTA, lately).

By being on a stock rom, you'll not receive this error.

Also, an OTA applied to a rooted ROM bears significant chance to mess up things.

So in short, unroot and then apply the updates.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smyrgeorge:
Thanks for your reply my friend! So i have to unroot.. well actually i dont have idea how i can do this.. I searched the web but i cant find a guide for noobs.. :/ Thanks

You need to run RUU from the official Rom from your pc.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Yeah, as said, you need to use a RUU.exe or ROM.zip

and you should tell us your original software info, and whether you have installed a custom rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smyrgeorge:
Well here is the software info..

Android version: 2.2

Basic system version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Kernel version: 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Version number: 2.29.405.2 CL263770 release-keys

Software number: 2.29.405.2

(I rootet my phone with the latest unrevoked program v.3.22)

So if i flash the RUU im gonna lose all my data?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Yes, running a RUU will erase your data and unroot your phone.

Given that your phone is unbranded you should use this one http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe

But if your phone is now working with no problems (which means your lucky), there is really no need to erase all your data in order to apply a minor update.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smyrgeorge:
So i think its better to not run RUU for a minor update and i think if HTC release an update for android 2.3 then i should flash with RUU.. correct?

And one more thing.. The RUU that you send me contains greek keyboard??

Thanks for you time!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Yes, if there soon is a 2.3 official release, you should run a RUU not an OTA.

And also, there is a greek keyboard in this RUU (at least in mine :) ).
