Hand down best launcher to date. I ran across this baby with applanet yesterday before op posted this and I am blown away by all the features. I love the option to hide app drawer and other features with the little switches and all. Its stupid fast. Faster than launcher pro and any other launcher to date once you tweak it in settings. Im afraid to think what else could be added because its so complete. Those who like being able to customize dock with icons will be pleased to know you can hide the dock and still use custom icons as shortcuts to homescreen if you like customizing phone as I do. This launcher is beast. Little stuff like the ability to lock and unlock screen choice between 5 different layouts 8 different animation effects and many other features makes this a must have!:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jerzeeloon:
I like this launcher but theres one gripe that annoys me.I cant make the icon highlight color clear.O can choose any color and it comes up that colir,but if I turn alpha to 0 to make it clear it comes uo orange.wtf
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gbakabg:
I like so far...didn't like it at first but after some tweaks I like a little better...but I still have launcher pro they both have there pro and cons
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rel500:
Im really liking this. For those that say it made ur phone slow I ask what rom are you on? Im on nero v3 with voodoo and my phone is flying. Really liking the horizontal fling in the app drawer.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jcc332006:
+1 Agreed! I'm on Nero V3 w Voodoo and my phone flies also. No slow down whatsoever. It's so fast that I had to enable the overshoot mode in settings. This Launcher is simply Amazing!!:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] iamtimmah:
I love adw.ex as well! Just curious which widgets you know of that are theme-able? Aside from Beautiful widgets...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] darkside79:
Can someone please upload the adw icon pack? I can't find it any where on the market! Thanks a million!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MasterSyrron:
Gave it a try... I'm good with ADW.Launcher as it sits now. This new version just has a couple more bells & whistles, some reorganizing... Don't get me wrong, it's great... but I personally don't need to upgrade to it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tomasitoc:
I think I mess up, and I can no longer find my app drawer.

can you help me how I can get it back

same thing..

it's good, but I don't use most of the features so...

minimalistic ftw!

:D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vapotrini:
This app is really nice but there are 2 things that stop me from making it my primary launcher.

1. No email, sms, missed calls count notifications like in LP. I know that there is program called ADW Notify, however am I really expected to go spend even more money just to get that feature??? (which btw doesn't work 100% with chomp sms) Ridiculous.

2. There's no way to remove/hide the dock while in the app draw. Not really sure what the programmer is thinking here. At least have it auto hide because it looks awfully stupid, not to mention useless, as it is now. See pic...

Other than those 2 gripes, it's great. Still, back to LP for me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] darkside79:
Well like I said earlier its not pulling up for me on the market place. Thanks but a market link is not going to do me any good.was hoping someone could post the apk file for me or email it to me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rsfaze:
I'd be more inclined to give this a good test if it didn't require a full purchase for ADW Ex and then the ADW notifier. Why would I buy two apps to do what LPP does by itself.

It does look like after watching the video that visual's have been added but nothing that really changes it's over all functions.

Good steps forward but not enough to break me from LPP.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Neffstarr:
i wish we were able to change the dock ,, so i am sticking w LauncherPro too
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tomasitoc:
Its a nice launcher.

LP has the elastic docks (up to 3), , that allows me to keep my desktop clean.

ADW has only 1
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eminembdg:
send you the apk? lol. Seems someone just wants a free app.

Hey the App Drawer Icon Pack is freaking free. Not a paid app peoples. I already bought ADW Launcher Ex. So please learn to relax peoples. I'm not asking for warez files.just a already FREE app that is on the market.just not pulling up for me! Geez peoples take a chill pill or something!

What was posted was not a icon pack. Was the paid version of adw.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parmijo11:
Quick to preach. You know what you posted, bet you wouldn't do it if you made the app and were charging for it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] darkside79:
Yea staying with Launcher Pro Plus until ADW Launcher Ex adds Widgets like the Facebook Widget. Add that and I will switch maybe!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] darkside79:
Well that's not what I wanted. I didn't ask for that! I would never ask for a paid app. I know where to get those if I wanted them.just wanted the App Drawer Icon Pack posted.which is a free app!

I'm aware of that, my argument its not with you.

Anytime.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TheShadowMan:
I've been an ADW fanboy for a while and I must say I LOVE the new EX. Wow. Love the new transition animations (especially number 5!) and the new quick customization options. I highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Some of those complaining about the lack if LP'S dock swype I believe are not swiping up to see the hidden dock (swype just put an "i"instead of "o"in dock -would have been funny)

Let's move on. I hope proper action is taken, if a mod deems necessary.

I'm not going to respond to this guy, and neither should you.

I you want him off xda, report it. exclamation mark near the post count.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mattymat:
I downloaded and tried out the new ADW launcher ex, but it still has some lag when opening up my applications and i wasn't thrilled with the fact that they left out "hidden applications in app drawer" option. I could be wrong about that since I only looked for a few minutes, but it seemed to be missing.

Also, it lacked the smoothness that I've become accustomed to in Launcher Pro. It did add some features that Launcher Pro does not offer (easy un-installation of apps), ease of changing icons, free resizing of widgets, ease of theming, etc.

All in all a good launcher, but I think it loses in the snappiness aspect that I've gotten used to.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Alex530:
Reported....Had to log on pc just to do it >.<
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
With the new market it makes it virtually impossible to really test out an app with SO many options. It's a real shame Google changed their market policy.... both the policy, AND the new UI I think are pretty poor.

I still have not figured out which effect I think is the coolest...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dnahughes:
I personally like and use zeam its simple - fast - clean. But can't wait for spb 5.0 to debut to the public I'm all over it lol
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dbryon:
Try go launcher hands down the best free launcher
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vnamee:
+1 for launcher pro. I've used ADW EX since this thread started and I gave it a fair shot. The smoothness wasn't quite there, though I did like the options like the hidden dock bar. I got rid of the regular dock and gave it a clean look. I could open the dock with a swipe. Alas, what dragged me bag was the great LP widgets, in particular the messaging widget. I do like the ADW screen transition effects though and is why I used it to begin with.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
I wish Launcher Pro Plus would F ADW EX and make little Perfect Launcher babies!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tonicacid:
I agree. If I could get the screen transitions from ex on pro I would be happy.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] djkozdefantastico:
holy epic!!!!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] azsamsancho:
Sorry EX is no good -- it does not have a scrolling wallpaper function !!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] icarianecho:
Sure it does:

settings; general behavior; animation & effects; check box next to "wallpaper scrolling."

Nero + XDA app facilitated
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] azsamsancho:
opps u right, THANKS!!!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Annex1:
You have to turn that function on. I use both EX and Pro.. just to switch it up a bit. Not to get bored with 1 of the home apps.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vapotrini:
Yeah, same here. Just started doing that myself. Have a scrollable WP set up under LP and a live wallpaper set up within ADW.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
Just bought adw ex I gotta say I like it
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
I updated post 1 with some general settings.... thought it may help people new to ADW EX. If others can think of some cool tricks/setup preferences, please let me know and I will add it to the list.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
Hidden dock is sick!! Found my new launcher for a while though I wish I could stop the drop down bar from coming down all the time even in the middle of the page if I swype down here comes the notification bar I'd like that to stop
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] icarianecho:
Love swipe up for hidden dock & down for notification.

While even more minimalistic setups are possible, I like starting with hidden notification bar & dock, which can be toggled via launcher actions (I like tying these actions to custom icons).

Result: one clean looking & clutter free home
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] isaac970:
I tried adw ex and I liked it..... up until I found launcher pro after that there was no turning back from that. I think adw is good for like the looks and LP is for quickness as in having all the stuff there for you. So let's put it this way LP is the girl with the great personality and adw is the stupid hot girl. Lol I know that's a bad way to put this. Call me stupid but that's how I put it: )

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
I'm using the first one but not all icons are red I also changed the launcher screen to match the dark red look and I'm using red glass tile swype
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vapotrini:
Can anyone tell me why the author of this app has made it so the dock cannot be modified? He has scores and scores of features yet has left this rather standard modification out. Pretty odd if you ask me. It's the only thing stopping me from making it my daily driver.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
^^ yeah, I can only imagine how hard it is to make 100's of icons for all of the apps....

^ do you mean the hidden dock? Or do you mean just laying a pic over the main dock like LP? I agree it would be nice, but I typically use a black background and make my dock transparent... makes the screen look cleaner/bigger. It would be nice to customize more for non-black backgrounds or those that are not solid.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vapotrini:
I mean like LP. Would be nice to have it where you can use any background you want. For me, it makes a big difference.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Alex9090:
ADW ex 1.2.2 came out this morning and it has new awesome change the dock back ground feature! Can use all sorts of backgrounds even launcher pro ones.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
Yeah its awesome couple of things I wanted it has now like hiding the hidden dock background was a big one and you can make the app screen transparent which with the nero glass theme looks awesome
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Not to mention it got a price drop. I really do not think there is a better launcher out. Incredibly smooth.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
In the market he was like transparent app screen (its choppier now I told you) lol I don't even mind how choppy it is vs. how awesome it looks
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobbbb:
If this launcher has a scrollable dock like LauncherPro I would hop on this like white on rice. I just hate the dock that's the only thing about it... And it wouldn't be your daily "driver", it would be your daily "launcher";)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
Check out go launcher EX. Its awesome.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Kwaii49:
I'm only using LPP because of the widgets that come with it. besides that I'm in love w/ adw launcher ex.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] allthrottle:
I was using lp over adw for the same reason, until I found colorize. Nearly as goods ad the lpp widgets.

Sent from my <tw> powered vibrant.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vapotrini:
What's colorize?

wow, just updated to ADW EX 1.2.2 I believe it is, and I think it will sway even the staunchest LPP user (like myself).

Now that the 4d draw is transparent (no noticeable lag for me) and I can FINALLY change the dock back ground it's definitely way in front of LPP as far as I'm concerned. Sure there are no widgets but that's not a big deal if you ask me, as I can find apps that duplicate that. Simply put, there's just too much to ignore here.

I'm converted.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
Did any of you give Go Launcher EX a shot? I just couldn't bring myself to pay for a launcher...is it really worth it?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
SCREW Go Launcher in my opinion. They are just take Anderwebs work and releasing it.... I'd be curious if their permissions are more open than adw ex... must be a reason to release his work for free if you ask me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
The new version is much better.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobbbb:
Go Launcher is also free? And I'm sure the devs at GO Launcher get their ideas from other launcher devs just as rom devs do the same, it's nearly impossible to create an array of your own unique features and put them into a launcher...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] All~G1:
Go launcher was kanged from adw... IMO.

"Colorize" widget are widgets that are made to look like the HTC / sense widgets. Aka... lpp widgets.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
Yeah the new GoLauncher EX is free and is actually really cool. I'd consider more akin to LauncherPro than ADW but now its kind of a mix. I totally agree that it's almost impossible to create something new.

hearing all the good stuff about ADW EX's update makes me wanna try it out.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Kwaii49:
Hmm thanks guys I'm going to try out go launcher ex. But I've tried different facebook, bookmarks and people widgets but they just don't do it for me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
Since I started using adw ex the other launchers seem like a down grade and childish this is just user experience though to each his/her own
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
LoL, seems like everyone likes it but I'm just not sure I wanna pay for a launcher.

Too bad there isn't a trial of EX to see if I like it
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Lets quit talking about an app that just stole the work of another developer.... and some of us make the decision to support developers.... XDA DEVELOPERS
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] christpuncher:
I used free adw a while back, then twiz grew on me. Now im back to adw ex and its great. One thing though. My home button doesn't seem to take me back to my home screen if im not on it currently. It does if im in an app though. Is there a way to change the home button action? Cuz right now it does nothing when on any of my main screens.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
I was talking about ADW EX...

Thats great you support them but I'm not forking out money to try something when there are suitable free alternatives.

Lets be realistic and know that all linux work is based off someone elses code. It would have never got this far without open source and people sharing and improving others work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vapotrini:
resolved...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Kwaii49:
I tried colorized widgets. Definitely a keeper. (thanks to whoever mentioned it) Now I'm back to my true love. Adw launcher ex.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kongutoxiclab:
I think launcher pro is better
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
launcher pro beats his wife and I don't support that kind of behavior I also heard go launcher talking about a suicide bombing and I don't support that either so adw it will stay for me, for now

that episode was funny lol, all i can hear in the back of my head is "Simpsons did it"
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Paging Dr B:
Here's the way I see it...

We all have our own preferences. I for one purchased it as a way to say thanks to anderweb because ADW was the first other launcher that i installed on my G1. I wasn't a huge fan of ADW on my vibrant as Zeam and launcher pro seemed to be more responsive overall. Let me say that ADW-EX is a huge improvement over the free ADW and is now my current launcher on my Droid X, my Vibrant, and on my wifes MT3G (note: that's two different google accounts so I paid for it twice and installed from the market). The screen transitions are smooth, you can customize the hell out of it, and most of all it's been 100% stable. That's not to say the LPP isn't as good, I just haven't tried it. But to those of you who are reluctant, it's worth the measly $3 dollars. Think of it as a nice way of saying thanks to your dev's for all of the hard work they put into these things.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Agreed, it's also on my wife's Nexus.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Addel:
sorry. LPP still rules the homescreen game. :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Paging Dr B:
Have you tried ADW-EX?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
Alright I'm going to admit that ADW	EX is now my fav.

I used that launcher foe 3 days.

But got mad that I can't remove the widget label!!!!

When will this be resolved for me :-(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eunkipark92:
The only downside is that I can't have custom dock bar. I have all the custom icons... but I can't change the bar.. so I guess ill have to deal with I or make it on the wallpaper.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Addel:
yeah, i have it's good, no complaints. but I guess you can say that it's just a personal preference. LPP is as good as it gets for me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chunkiemunster:
Favorite by far

I used to use Zeam and was never a Launcher pro fan (no disrespect to all the Launcher Pro fans) but just not for my taste. ADW EX is the most "easy" customizable launcher. Very unique and you can almost customize every part of how your phone moves and looks. LOVE IT!! Thanks for the reference and post s15274n.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jdom58:
I have it looking pretty sweet with trigger 3.0.1 and a theme combination of Splash of Color with DannyDoans :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MilkPudding:
I've bought both LP Plus and ADW EX and I have to admit that I use ADW a lot more than LP. I like the widgets of LP Plus but I love the fact that I can customize each icon in ADW more.

I've also tried other popular launchers like GO, Zeam and 7. They are nowhere near ADW EX and LP Plus in terms of how responsive and smooth the app is. This is especially so for GO launcher, it makes my phone jittery somehow.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bugmenot7:
I hope they combine teams with adlauncher plus!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Haha, my signature used to read something like this:

I still stand by that. I love features from both.
