[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ThaEnd:
I prefer LPP over ADW EX because ADW EX only has fancy effects and not as much functionality as LPP. I think ADW EX is very cool with the new home screen transitions that it brings, but LPP is currently being rewritten, Fede has promised alot of cool new features and I think when the rewrite is complete it will be leaps and bounds over any other launcher. So I know I won't be switching my launcher from LPP.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] travis.rudd:
I love LPP and EX, paid for both, but am currently using Ex for my daily, I previously tried ADW and HATED it, but EX is so much smoother, and even though I paid for LPP, I pretty much never used any of the widgets, as I didn't like how the Calendar widget worked (you cant longpress on a date and automatically set up an event) so I just have beautiful widgets linked to my calendar, clock, and weather, it's way easier to just press on the date to automatically open the full calendar app.

Once the new Launcher Pro comes out i'll most liekly switch back, but right now i'm an ADW guy!

PS like a few others on here, I have Tech ADD...BAD, and I'm always flashing new roms and mods, so FOR NOW, this is my opinion, could change tomorrow :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MegaBubbletea:
I prefer LPP because it's much faster and smoother than ADW. Can't wait for the new rewrite of LPP to be released.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] s1l3nt:
i have both adw ex and launcher pro plus and i cant even decide which to use as default but now launcher pro is looking smoother than ever with its updates
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BQ Ninja:
I definitely prefer LPP. It's just much smoother and quicker.

I don't use many of the widgets for LPP, though, because most of mine are third-party.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] androidnoob111:
I like lpp for its smoothness and widgets, but adw ex has some awesome effects.... its really a toss up for me ... i just switch back n forth every few days lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PokeAsheep:
I triel lp and didn't care for it. I just recently switched to Adw.ex from adw. It's great! I don't use many of the fancy flashy flash but it runs much faster and those little thing about adw that annoyed me (no overlapping widgets, weird icon tinting...) are gone. I do love the ability to have folder icons be individual (vs all folders = 1 theme). I want something that runs smooth, and adw.ex doesn't disappoint!

I haven't used the lpp but I have seen the widgets and they're nice... there are apps out there that do the same thing though....

Epic is as Epic does
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rainowy:
EX is so much smoother than normal ADW. Its very good. Try it and you'll see.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NickAVV:
Launcher Pro has fancy homescreen transition effects now too. I highly prefer it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tlapapa:
Launcher Pro also has the option to hide Apps in drawer. thats one of the reasons I'm sticking with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dan9I:
ADW Laucher EX - functional

Launcher Pro Plus - smooth scrolling

I chose ADW Laucher EX ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trashbytes:
I prefer Launcher Pro Plus ;)

ADW EX is very laggy on my device, whereas LP Plus is very smooth and fast.

But I would like an horizontal drawer in LPP... and the "iPhoneish" icon-style as well is very fancy :)

Tobi
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cCeT:
Launcher pro has the best scrolling experience.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CoDeR82:
in my opinion Launcher Pro Plus is better.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kochoa940:
lpp like widgets on adw ex

justr download colorize widgets for FREE on the market and you have scrolling widgets just like on lpp but with the cooler themes and transistions of adw ex!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kochoa940:
just download colorize widgets...practically the same thing!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Stargazer418:
I prefer LauncherPro. I find that it runs much faster on my G2 than ADW.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] snowspomer:
Why not just root your phone and run a barebones OS? That's what I'm doing but I don't care for looks as much as I do performance. Even so, some roms are GORGEOUS.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Leonardo Teles:
the last version of LP can load ADW THEMES

http://i2theme.webs.com/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Babydollll:
I switch back and forth between LPP and ADWEX... However, I find I use, ADWEX more often. I find the swipe down status bar gesture implemented in a more pleasing way on ADWEX...

I haz Bacon Bits and Pipsqueak says "You're holding it wrong, always".... ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zoide_:
I bought ADW EX and have been using it for a few months on my Nexus One. A couple days ago I tried out GO Launcher EX and I feel the cube animation is much smoother. I do like the ADW EX tray more...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] maxesxp:
im using adw with android pro widgets (or was it android widgets pro), and i like it very much. I still kinda wanna make the change to launcher pro because it is much, much more snappy but lacks the customization effects and settings... another contender would be go launcher which is free, but is a bit slower then the both. I just wish adw would make theyre launcher more smooth and fast, then it would definiltley be better then launcher pro. especialy the parts when jumping from screen to screen and the overlay
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] who_me:
There's so many threads on launchers wasn't sure which to write in. But here goes I've noticed that when I download Go Launcher Ex in the marketplace it says 4mb but when downloaded its 6mb? I have little memory on my phone so tempted to go with Launcher Pro at 2.5mb to save on phone memory.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mooop12:
I'd go with Go Launcher Ex, it's the best out there IMO. Previously I used Launcher Pro, and I even bought it, but then author stopped the development, so I searched for something new, and I've found Go Launcher Ex :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] who_me:
If I had more memory on my phone I would opt for Go Launcher Ex but my HTC Desire is struggling and I have deleted as much as I can. So for now its Launcher Pro (which I have had no problems with and works fine for my needs. Just wish there were more customisable options available like Go Launcher. But then again that would mean a bigger app file size.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jimboi2008:
Im using adw ex i like the fact that its sinple and customizable :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LikeaG2root:
Its not even close which is the best, especially for cm roms...ADW EX ftw!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
I would like to know if anyone else has experienced similar issues using any of the MIUI roms?

If you have experienced this how did you remedy the situation?

So here is the story:

I was never keen on using MIUI roms as i am a fan of sense, but lately i have been growing tired of sense and have been looking for greener pastures.

My device is rooted(S-On, pvt-3, 0.93 hboot) and i have been running plenty of custom(sense based) roms with no trouble. Last night i flashed Pays MIUI rom and the phone was rebooting evey few minutes ... so i decided to call it a night and went to bed ... then this morning i went to the MIUI site and downloaded the latest 0.12.24(or something) and the phone was running smoothly the whole day without any hicups ... or reboots ... yes you guessed it ... now its rebooting again!

I dont think its the hardware on my device as i havnt experienced any problems with any other roms, and i perform a full wipe each time i flash.

Any advice would be greatly appretiated, thanx in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Try flashing this kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=472705&d=1293232742

it could be that the HAVS kernel is causing your problems. This is a SVS kernel and should be more stable for some people.

Wipe dalvik cache after you flashed the kernel (same way as flashing rom). Disable verfication before flashing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
Thank you for the reply ... i also thought it might have something to do with the kernal, will flash after the phone has charged ... will post results!

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kyleds:
are you gonna include the black mms, gmail?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sassyness77:
Well I think I'm going to wait for a true CM build, which will probably have a black mms background but no matter what they will both have black backgrounds :) I finished my boot animation, its a throw back to the old hero builds I ran on my g1 ;)

I might also include black Widgets with white text too!

Okay I now have a perfect Meta Inf folder and have this theme running on my own Nxs thanks to Ogdobber! Thanks again by the way!

So there was a slight problem with the camera app so I pulled the link and will upload a new version tonight hopefully ;)

Things I have noticed that I am dissapointed with:

-Lock screen tabs have become disscolored!

-The android green activity bar is a little to saturated (it looks different from the screen shots to the actual phone)

-Browser tabs seem lighter than exected, its almost as if after running them through the 9 patch they lighten up alot :mad: never had this happen before....But I will fix it :)

Feel free to leave some feedback, although there isn't much to go by from the screen shots yet, I do appreciate it :)

about the option "-Remove all orange and replace with android green"

can u add a version with cyano color?
[Nexus S General] Prototypeuk:
I would like to know if there is any way to set peak hours when retrieving email?

My work exchange emails are syncing during the night (Schedule set to check every hour) and it is waking me up when a new email comes in. I don't want to put the phone on silent in case I get an important call I just want to stop emails syncing during certain hours.

Any Help Please Would be Greatly Appreciated :D
[Nexus S General] lf2k5:
Hmmm... you're not using Exchange email "push"...

I'll be honest, I find this a bit flakey on all of my devices. I disable account synchronisation for my email, but some stuff will still come through.

Another way is to disable the notification for your email (chose "silent" ringtone) - like that your phone will still ring but your emails will be silent,

I dunno if there's an app on the market that will automate it...

*edit*

Check out Silencr
[Nexus S General] tfreshman:
If you can use a program called TouchDown for Exchange. By far the best email app out there. It has a Peak Hours feature and is exactly what your looking for.
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
Or maybe you can port from TouchWiz email which already has that feature.
[XPERIA X10 General] dante2086:
I just got an Xperia X10, and if this is a 65K screen, then damn, I mean the screen is so tight, no competition to AMOLED, but as far as LCD is concerned, it's lovely.

I wonder what 16M, would have done to it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
I love the screen on this phone. I hate the banding I get on some stuff but that is a separate issue not for discussion here.

This screen is bright and clear.

Every amoled screen I see looks to have a weird green tint to it.
[XPERIA X10 General] dk2000zx:
lol I [USED] to LOVE my x10's screen.... until December 26th.. boxing day... when I bought myself an ipod Touch 4th generation with the retina display...

IT definetly changed my hole concept of the word "AWESOME"

X10's screen is crap.. brightness kinda sucks and the lack of 16million color is disapointing.. maybe ill correct this when bootloader is cracked and 16million color will be enabled but for the time being, it SUCKS

hi evrybody

is it possible to play new hd games from gameloft on android 1.6

i have an archos 5 it and nfs shift worcking very well

any solution guys
[Android Apps and Games] janis605:
Well, it is possible.

You can! But you only a few of them are running on 1.6! Look for the "Xperia X10" versions, they do also work on our Archos devices. As an Example you can play Lets Golf and Dungeon Defenders,Hero of Sparta ... But NOT the games that need Multi-Touch (2.1+) Modern Combat, Gangstar...
[Android Apps and Games] Luggruff:
Why don't you upgrade from 1.6? :S
[Android Apps and Games] sahhar1993:
because there is no eclair for archos 5 it
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
So since most of the themes if not all, have wrong placement of images (specially the notification pull down window) I am wondering if indeed most of the users are NOT using applications like LCD Density.

To me, LCD Density is the first thing I install pretty much. It makes my phone just completely different so I wouldn't imagine myself without it.

Please comment.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] HaTeNL:
I liked it too, but it's not compatible with a lot of games and some other apps... That's the reason I don't use it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Jumba:
+1

With a bit of tinkering you can make 240dpi look a lot like 200, and avoid headaches in the process.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PAGOT:
Thing is, when changing the density the SGS doesnt look so good as for example hero with a changed density. On hero I go with 120DPI. Tried on SGS 200 and it looked bad and somethign wasnt even readable. (I have even now trouble with fonts on 240 sometimes they are thick sometimes thin in the same app)

Its strange but hero on 120DPI is better readable then SGS on 200 why is that so?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
Really? That is very odd. I run 182 and the image is just insanely sharp and detailed. I wonder if user Eyes are also coming into play here... interesting to see the Poll that some many people have never heard about it! :eek:

Not sure what tinkering is that but I still run 182 (the minimum I can run without Contacts crashing) and everything looks so razor sharp and so much info fits on the screen that I cannot think about using my phone without it.

What games are those? So far only Pac Man has given me the issue and I have tons of games. You can always use the Temp change to go back to stock when needed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PAGOT:
Image is pretty, but try to read something on opera mobile with a smaller font or even gmail (messages from google checkout)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
As I mentioned, I use this all the time 24/7 and read all my email and use different browsers as well and love it. Might have to do with each users vision as well I suppose.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PAGOT:
Well that might be so but we could rule that out? Since I told you I have a HTC hero on even lover DPI and its still better readable as the SGS :) . Maybe my SGS is bugged...

Dont get me wrong here, SGS is far more superior and literally not comparable to the Hero. Am just saying, maybe with mine is something wrong :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
No prob I understand what you mean indeed. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Prasad:
I'm very happy with my screen, so won't screw around there unnecessarily...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
I was happy until I tried this plus is not like its going to crash and burn. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Kethead:
I went to all the trouble of rooting my phone and installing the free version , but after changing the numbers it didn't work so I decided that it wasn't worth the bother
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
That sucks. Was that an old version or a recent one. I dont recall the first one I tried but they have all worked. On eclair I could do 160 but on Froyo anything under 182 crashes the contacts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MAMBO04:
Thing is i have tried it many times at 200 but the stock apps that Samsung provides don't change to 200, so it's all too small when you open e.g the Phone app, the dialer is in the left hand corner and there is dead space on the right around it, same goes for other apps except contacts and calendar, but the top bar is messed up in those apps.

I'd use it but also GTG's touchwiz launcher doesn't work properly with it, only thing stopping me from using it is the problem with apps, if there is any way to make them scale to 200 i'd use it in a heartbeat :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
I use a different dialer as that is the only one that does not show correctly for me. It would be nice if everything worked though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
I know what it does, I do not use it at all

It causes too much screen / resolution problem with Apps that are not compatible

too much hassle to maintain

it's easier to not use it
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
It just baffles me to read comments like this, my phone has about 305 apps/games (according to Titanium back up) so it is odd for me to read people saying this. Either I am very lucky that my apps are all fine or something else is wrong. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] oohaylima:
I have issue with plenty of apps not sizing properly. It's just the nature of the beast when you change the density.

But to answer your OP, I don't use that program. I just change it manually in the build prop. That way it stays 140 or so when I do a full reboot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
I never tried changing it there, I guess the app is just a GUI for the same thing.

Can you name some of those apps if you have time cause I am really curious to check those.

So far games, only Pac Man and apps, the Dialer for which I am using a different one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Spitfire128:
I think it's a waste to have a 4" screen and have it display as much as a 3" one would. I used it at 185 for a long time and never had many issues with non-Samsung apps.

Sometimes things scaled a bit weirdly, but they were perfectly functional and it was quite rare. Some of the Samsung applications (TouchWiz app drawer, calc, phone, memo, etc) just got smaller but I replaced those anyway. Other than that I never had issues.

Right now I'm using it at around 210 since the fonts got a little too small and for example the LP Twitter widget hard to read from a distance. Trying to find a balance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
I completely agree with your post. With 4 " of such a great quality screen, it begs to fit more information in there. :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cabessius:
I changed to 200 with SGStools a month ago and everything runs fine and looks much better, definitely not going back to 240.

PD: I dont use Samsung apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] oohaylima:
Sure. Off the top of my head I can name two that I've used. Root explorer doesn't expand properly on my screen, and that one reader........uh, Aldiko. Yea, that's the name. With that program, whenever I change the density, it has a nasty habit of slowly moving off the screen when I flip to the next page.

I still use both programs because they're essential apps. One, of course, is to access the system files, and the other to download books so I can transfer them to my DSI XL; which by the way turned out to be an excellent reader for books and book games. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SamHaLeKe:
Me to, found this a great app!

It's nice to have more space to view, things like Extended Power Menu, control settings, LP app drawer, NEW MARKET, Internet browser, Gmail,... are all more usable due to more viewing space.

Scrolling les to get to things is also a joy.

I have 89 apps n games installed and all of them do work except for 2 games Skyforce lite and Asphalt5 (damn for that). Asphalt is running but unusable on 182 dpi. 16 apps don't adjust to the new density but show the app small and centered (few things are off centered).

These apps not adjusting to my new density (but working just fine) are:

AdFree, Calculator (keypad only), Camera360, File Manager, FM-Radio, ipconfig, Market Enabler, Metal Detector, Music Junk, OpenVPN Installer, OpenVPN Settings, Spare Parts, Speedtest, Startup Cleaner Pro, Super KO Boxing Free.

Some I use frequentely but can live with the fact that they don't adjust dpi as they are working just fine centered. The only pitty thing for me is Asphalt5!

I realy love this app and use setting 182.

Love LP drawer show complete icon rows...

My 4“ screen comes to it's right here, it even feels faster :)

Allmost a happy user here (just devs need to adjust there apps to tesolution)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SamHaLeKe:
RootExplorer is working perpectly fitted on my end. On lowest working density 182 ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SamHaLeKe:
Agreed!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SamHaLeKe:
How do u use SGS Tools to change to 200?

Is LCD Density not needed and is it working permanently? Like to know, Thx

Did u try 182? I like it allot :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MAMBO04:
Problem is the Camera is also all messed up, it works but still messed (UI). Isn't there any app which can 'convert' other apps to e.g 200dpi?
