EX is more flexible on Tablets it seems, but otherwise I feel they're really about the same difference. Ignore all of the silly screen transitions, they're (IMO) completely useless.

The new icon drawing is interesting... Improvement, but not huge. Icon scaling is nice, plus the ability to do more rows and columns.

It's worth it to use it for a donation IMO.. I wish EX had come out a week or so earlier, as I donated to ADW just before it did, and I haven't been motivated to do it again just yet..
[Android Apps and Games] PokeAsheep:
Well, I am trying out adw ex launcher, downloaded it just a min ago and we'll see...

And yes, the home screen scroll features are totally useless ... just slow things down

Epic is as Epic does
[Android Apps and Games] bmuenter:
I purchased adw ex and totally loved it! The thing I like about it is the fact that it comes with theme-like options... ie... "iphoneish, nexusish,fast," and much more. The fast was nice for me because it changes all of the screen transitions and dock scrolling to a really fast and snappy speed. That way your not seeing a bunch of bouncing and other "UI" extras that don't matter. You can get good solid fast function out of it
[Android Apps and Games] darkamikaze:
mmm it eats up a lot of RAM than regular adw though imo.. :o though i like how it functions
[Android Apps and Games] Cimer:
ADW as a launcher in general is a fantastic launcher, how ever when I tried out ADW EX I thought it was a bunch of unnecessary eye candy that most likely takes up more battery.

Although having all of this eye candy is nice and fun to play with I feel like it defeats the purpose of a launcher, therefore I think ADW rather would have eye candy and performance than some basic functionality,which every launcher should have.

I'm all about the look and feel of a UI, but for some reason ADW EX just did not do it. It all comes down to your opinion though. If you have the money and are looking to buy a fantastic launcher then go ahead with ADW EX.
[Android Apps and Games] smoothone:
I checked my EX ram usage a dozen times since you posted this and it has not over 10 megs. I have used all of the launchers and ADW EX is the best by far imho.
[Android Apps and Games] gen_scheisskopf:
I've used ADW Launcher since my phone was rooted and I've switched to ADW Ex a day or two after it was released.

Quick comparition:

-ADW Ex runs smoother, most noticable is app drawer when scrolling

-I didn't encounter any FC yet, it sometimes happend in ADW

-there is no problem resizing big images used as custom icons in ADW Ex, ADW sometimes displayed artifacts and UI could become laggy- tested on theme icon packs and png files loaded from SD

Side note- I use Samsung i5700 (Spica) so smoothnes decrease is very noticable especially since device has very low memory performance (max 330 pts in Quadrant)
[Android Apps and Games] gbarayah:
I am using ADW EX on my Desire Z.

I tried ADW EX after using the standard ADW for a few weeks while running CyanogenMod 6.1.

The differences I have noticed:

ADW EX:

Offers more customization. I do not care for the screen transitions but the ability to change the look of icons, overlap widgets, and customize the app drawer are definitely nice.

My phone seems to be quite a bit 'snappier' than while running ADW. I have not had any FC's, which weren't exactly common before, but did happen occasionally.

They are both great launchers, but I think ADW EX can be adjusted for better performance.
[Android Apps and Games] suua:
i like adw, but it has no widgets like LP facebook widget or sms widget, thats way i use Lp.
[Android Apps and Games] Mylenthes:
I use adw ex and its great. The transitions are smooth, unless ur using a lwp and the customization is amazing. I definitely recommend it. The eye candy does not mess up performance.

Yishtishe
[Android Apps and Games] DerEineDa:
Normally I would not make any kind of advertisement, but if you like ADW, I recommend to also try Go Launcher. It replaced ADW Launcher for me and seems to be often overlooked, because it's quite new.
[Android Apps and Games] darkamikaze:
lol really? I'm looking at mine right now.. and i'm idle at 21.72MB :X

CPU 0%

got 3 pages.. with 12 widgets scattered randomly.. and 4 shortcuts.. with transition 4 :x

on Samsung Captivate.. what phone is yours?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Very simple; don't enable the transitions and other nonsense... The new icon drawing, scaling, and font text is great, especially for tablets..
[Android Apps and Games] dpk0875:
When adw ex came out, I bought it without thinking twice for couple of reasons;

Customization+reliability

Plus, adwlauncher was so good n the dev was so responsive n reliable that I always felt that I was stealing it from him so it was about time I give anderweb the props deserved by paying..if I recall correct, it isn't even expensive

One of those apps u never regret u paid for

Cheers anderweb! Would it be too much to say I love u? Ha

freex10 beta3+green glow=priceless
[Android Apps and Games] PokeAsheep:
So after a bit I've found this:

Adw.Ex just seems snappier. I don't have the little bits of scrolling lag I had on adw. The random (not often) FCs have stopped. The overlapping widgets is a nice feature, and works well. The ability to change the home screen menu button options is friggen fantastic (no more 5 deep to get my theme changed!). I also like the folder options. As in each folder can have it's own icon rather than all same theme (vs adw all folder = same icon). I don't use the screen transitions an actually found them all kind of meh... certaintly not smooth/snappy enough to use. I also don't use custom dockbar bg's (mine is transparent) but I like having the option, should I want it.

So I am happy I switched :)

Epic is as Epic does
[Android Apps and Games] RobertMaurizio:
I agree. Go Launcher is an excellent and very competitive option.

Hi everybody!

I have tried a lot oft mods from this forum on my HTC HD Mini... I´m very pleased but also very picky.

I´m trying to find a way to get rid of the box bethind the icons on the "quicklaunch" as shown in the picture. I have tried the 12 row and the 16 row and they work but then the homescreen wallpaper applies on all screens and I just want the plain grey besides from the homescreen/lockscreen.

Can anyone help me?

This is what I want to get rid of without getting the home-wallpaper in all sence-tabs (screen not mine):
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Dessel:
If you have the cookies home tab (CHT) installed, you should download CHT editor and there you can get those boxes transparent.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Manneman32:

[HD Mini Themes and Apps] redeye998:
There is an 16mod shct and 12mod shct from Gabbana-Music that there all are invisible!

I don't like it so because i like the symmetry of icons...
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Rocket Chef:
@ Manneman32

Can you post a screenshot please?
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Manneman32:
Sure thing

It shows the empty shadowed box with 70% transparacy and 100% when occupied with an icon.

As I wrote in my first post... Gabbana-Music´s 12 and 16 icon row makes is a little buggy for me.

THe sony ericsson xperia arc have a similar hardware to the xperia x10, is there any developers that is trying to port the xperia arc rom gingerbread 2.3 to xperia x10?

thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compumasta:
To my knowledge the arc isnt out yet so ...

But they are porting gingerbread. Its in alpha right now but it is in progress.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
nope, not yet.

you'll have to wait. :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andd2010:
the porting of gingerbread is now in beta version and looks quite well, but there are the camera and sensors not implemented. ok i could work without sensors and usb storage which was buggy is availble on reboot in xRecovery. So i just installed the froyo rom, which is very stable evrything except camcorder working and it looks very similar to gingerbread.;)

Nowdays there are those problems going to be solved (in progress). That means in a week or so we will have a good rom, and i think in two weeks a stable one with everything working.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvictorg:
Once the Arc is released I'm sure some devs will be able to port it over or at least components that could be used on our X10s. I certainly hope they can because that would like getting the update from Sony Ericsson they've neglected to give us all :mad:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andd2010:
not giving us official Update, SE follows a strategy to sell new phones, becouse no one would upgrade from X10 to Arc if SE would update the X10 to Gingerbread.;)

I'm so happy that the xda-devs are doing that great job porting original Android 2.2 and 2.3. And anyway the original rom, not branded by SE is better. It has not so much rubish system apps and saves the ram and the internal storage:D.

But in the future, when xda-devs have allready made a stable 2.3 rom, they will grab the original from Arc and port it too.:cool:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
For sure the Arc's ROM will be used to make stable ginger for X10.It will take some time tho, but you can be sure about it :)

Hey all,

I'm on Nero 5 with my Vibrant and was having some pretty dismal battery life, so I emptied the battery and charged it back up. Only problem is, its been plugged in for 9 hours now, and the battery isn't fully charged (the phone is off). I booted into clockwork and wiped battery stats and restarted the phone, says 99 percent in Android. I powered off and did a battery pull, and now it's off and (still) charging.

Any reason why this happens or how I can fix it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrod33084:
Im having a similar problem. When I fully charge my phone it will tell me its 100% till I unplug it and it will only show 97%. I can keep it plugged in for an hour after and it will still say 97%. I did a few battery wipes and still the same. I just recently flashed bionix v and then the dragon kernal and that's when it started. So I would also like some input on these small issues

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgf:
I think I got it!

Go to Settings > Connections > Connections

Then choose "manage connections" (in my case under "ISP")

choose your connection, then edit, then press "next" two times until you have to enter a name, domain and password. Normally, I don't have to enter anything here, but when I just enter something under "name" it will ask me for a password evertime a program tries to go online....that way I can choose "OK" or "cancel" to allow or deny internet access (without having to entera password)....

Do I have these right?

Also, let's say I have NAND android, is it possible to install NAND WP7 and dual boot them?

Wp7 can only be booted from NAND. It can be dual booted with Android on SD. WM6.5 can only be dual booted with Android on SD and obviously they can all run on their own using NAND.

Can someone tell me if an android backup is the same as an android backup ? What is the difference ?
[Droid X General] racinwarrior:
dont think there is a difference. a nandroid backup is a complete image of your file system at the time of backup. essentially a complete copy of your phone's state. its done in clockwork/bootstrap recovery

+1 for racinwarrior

and i think you made a typo in your op.
[Droid X General] skyskioc:
Thanks 4 your help it looks like you clarified that for me. Oh ya I did eff up on my spelling. Ment to say nandroid back up and android back up. okay so I have bootstrap recovery and have done a backup. so does this mean if my phone is messed up I can revert back to that date I did the backup and my phone should be okay ? And do I need to do a complete wipe data of my phone ? thanks for everyones help
[Droid X General] hullie10:
Yeah, i always wipe system, data, cache when i'm restoring a back up just to be on the safe side as a nandroid will literally restore your phone to the condition it was in when you backed it up

i have recently downloaded uc browser 7.2 and installed it on my spv c600 . but when it comes to initialization process it doesnt detect network .i really dont know whats the problem. im using an edge connection . ive tried previous versions but its still the same thing. can someone please help me?

​
[HTC Tornado] Hakim Rahman:
maybe you should try UC Browser 7.4 offers support WAP2.0, you can mengundugnya at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=847784
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
It works for me with 7.2.2.51. I hardly ever use that browser though as for WinMo standard also Opera mini and Opera 10 are available that both work great.

I think that UC is also not using ActiveSync connections, so your device must not be connected to the PC when you try using it. It also asks if you want to use a WIFI connection if availble, which other browsers don't do. So it seems that UC is not using the standard hierarchy for connections but picks them in an own logic.

The normal sequence of connections is:

- AS (including Proxy Settings)

- WIFI

- GSM
[HTC Tornado] Michaelbukachi:
it still doesnt detect the network, i tried to change the phone settings from http to wap but still shows the same result . opera mobile and opera mini work properly on both settings , uc browser java version. so im wondering what could be the problem.
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
I think UC-Web is a proxy service just like opera-mini. It is hosted in China and it may block certain regions of the world to access their proxy. UC-web knows your region by the geo-location of the assigned IP of your provider. Consequently it should not work on any device with the operator you are using for WEB access.
[HTC Tornado] Michaelbukachi:
thanks . i will buy another operator sim card to see if that solves the problem.
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
Well, if they exclude Ghana from their service it should be the same for all operators in that country. A new SIM card will have the need to setup the GPRS settings for the new operator as well, so there is effort attached to swap and test this.

It could also be the other way round, btw. Not that UC-Web blocks Ghana form their service (in China), but that your local operator will not allow to access the internet (or China) from the GPRS settings that you have in the device.

So first test if normal internet access works (iexplore or any non-proxy service) and then check with UC-Web.
[HTC Tornado] Michaelbukachi:
just fixed the problem. it seems uc browser does not with proxy. so i tried settings without proxy and now it works superb.

So my evo currently has software version 3.29 and this past weekend I rooted it with unrevoked3. I noticed that there is an update available (3.70), is there any reason for me to update this? I tried updating but while it was updating it crashed (I think because of the unrevoked).

And another question. I want to run new themes, etc. I used titanium back up to back up my apps and used Rom Manager to back up my system settings. Was it necessary for me to use 2 different programs to back up my phone and is there anyway to test to see if everything on my phone is backed up?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phillysphinest1:
Ok 1. Never accept an OTA --over the air update after your rooted. It'll kill your root.

Do what i did pick a ROM from here thats based on 3.70. You'll have a new rom + all the updates.

2. No you didnt need 2 backups. Titanium has a batch button that says "Backup sytem data and user apps" thats the ONLY one you need!!!

Hey dont take it from me tho....always nand & try things for yourself!!!!
