That is a Perfected SPL and kinda hard to root. I rooted my 1.76.0009 which also is a perfected SPL a few days ago by using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=680359

I am not sure if this will work on the 1.76.0007. Do some searching on the forums..

Spend some time to understand what you are doing to be sure not to brick your phone. Everything you do is at your own risk, and noone on this forum will guarantee anything...

[HD2 General] humpinbaybays:
Ok i have a T-mobile USA HD2 and i need to send it in for screen repair:(

I have restored it to the factory default wm6.5 rom but when i go into the TRI colored screen it still says "CotullaHSPL" i'm sure they wont check but i want to be sure,

so heres my Question , how do i reflash the Stock SPL :confused:
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Download and run HSPL 4, when it ask what version you want to select pick 2.08.0000 or something like that it will not say 2.08 HSPL.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
The split is the ONLY bit they care about, and they absolutely will check it
[HD2 General] humpinbaybays:
my phone came with SPL 2.10

will flashing 2.08 matter?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Well I think it would be to your benifit to get uour SPL back to 2.10 if that was your stock SPL. I would want to not have a questiin about it when I send it in for repairs of exchange cause that will void your warranty from that point on if they reject it and say it was not at stock specifications. I would run HSPL 4 and install SPL 2.08 then do tbe following.

If you download the latest official update or current ROM version for your HD2 and flash it via your SD card it will overwrite everything SPL and all. (MAKE SURE IT IS FOR YOUR VERSION OF GHE HD2) If you don't know how to flash via SD card just find the RUU in the update folder and rename it to leoimg.nbha and copy it to your SD card. While your phone is off hold the volume down button down and tap the power button and the bootloader will come up. As soon as you see searching on your phone screen release the volume down button.
[HD2 General] jigners:
Flash your stock ROM via SD Card method.:

Unzip the ROM

Rename the xxx.nbh file to leoimg.nbh

Clean sdcard

Place here the leoimg.nbh and the RUU.exe

Put in the device

Enter bootloader and just follow the prompts.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
only needs leoimg.nbh

the ruu.exe is a PC file for flashing with USB.
[HTC Aria General] Moh_Jay:
Is it possible take the apk from the liberated series and install it on cm7?

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
No, I believe that HTC actually wrote Flash Lite and it probably is dependent on HTC Sense. You can give it a try, but I would get your hopes up.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
If i'm not mistaken it's either of the following:

1. AOSP doesn't support flash lite.

2. flash lite doesn't support AOSP.

which is pretty much what you said. lol.
[HTC Aria General] tritron777:
Well seems that there is number of post on forums for android tables installing flash I belive is version 9 or lite.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Most of the tablets have a CPU that can handle Flash 10. The Aria processor cannot.
[HTC Aria General] tritron777:
Well the new ones do but not all the cheap ones such as zt-180

http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?showtopic=5278
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
Its not necessarily that our processor can't handle flash, its that adobe chose not to support our particular processor (atleast at this time).

As far as flash lite that comes on the stock aria, that is an HTC proprietary software and is supported by the sense roms..
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goob1284:
So I think I tried every launcher in the market and I can't decide. I'm running fusion right no and adw fc on me all day. Launcher pro kills the battery, there's four other ones but they aren't customiable like adw or LP any ideas?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Josh K.:
I use zeam
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goob1284:
Tried that too. I liked that one, but I couldn't change the darn icons
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mshanewalker1:
launcher pro is the best

next prob is open home full cut

also the cheaper way crazy home was alright

ADW Launcher EX
[Captivate Themes and Apps] viny2cool:
+1. Its paid but worth it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whitesox311:
i almost always end up back with launcher pro
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tiuk:
I started with adw on an htc magic, switched to launcher pro, kept launcher pro when I got my captivate, started using Go, and am currently running adw. Going to check out zeam, but unless it has some feature I really love, I expect I'll buy adw ex and stick with it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Coak5:
I use ADW EX and it's the best launcher I've used out of Launcher Pro (massive battery drain for me), Panda Home (laggy), Open Home (laggy), Go Launcher (not my type), Zeam (very good minimalist theme but also not my type)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
What version of LP do you use that kills your battery? Its never been a battery killer for me.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Coak5:
Launcher pro has been known to drain battery on people's battery faster than usual. I used the latest one and silk had the same issue which made me switch to ADW EX

Sent from outer space while finding another place
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pizz0wn3d:
Go launcher ex, Go launcher ex, Go launcher ex.

Oh, and Go launcher ex. Swipe gestures on dock icons and sorting my app drawer into folders has made it by far the best launcher I have used so far.

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goob1284:
0.8.3 is my version
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dethtek:
I have tried all of the above and keep going back to go launcher ex.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goob1284:
im trying it out and so far it looks pretty good
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
Has it been known to drain battery or have a lot of people that don't really know what there talking about said it does. Not sarcasim I'd actually like to know this because I don't understand why it would do it to others but not me.

Hmm same as the last version I used.

Side note go launcher is really nice too.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] id10terror:
I'm using LauncherPro (paid) for a few months now and love it.. I've tried most of the popular ones always go back to LP. Haven't tried Go Launcher EX yet though, so I'll give it a spin and we'll see!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bravomail:
Zeam Launcher

Zeam Launcher - first tried it on DocKitchenRoms, and then kept it. It's small, simple, fast, supports customizable up and down swipes, customizable bottom buttons/icons, custom grid settings, transparent app list, auto-rotation etc. Free. Worth trying. Crashes when selecting wallpaper, but setting sticks.

I use it with Smooth Calendar widget - also transparent with custom colors.

Battery life with it pretty good on Torch 1.5 ROM, can have up to 4 days on standby and talk.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] RaptorOne3:
I use ADW...

It's fully customizable.

Home Screen -

Customize your homepage icons images, size and text.

Fully customize the dock. (icon size, number of icons, hide dock bg)

Customize widget sizes.

Customize number of rows and columns.

Set homescreen scroll speed and overshoot.

Add pages.

Set any page as default homescreen.

Lots more!

App Drawer -

Custom app grouping and labeling.

Customize number of rows and columns.

Set animation time.

Fade icon labels.

Switch between pages or vertical scrolling.

Much more!

Not too bad for free!

I enjoy ADW. It's simple, effective and runs VERY stable on my Captivate. I have not had ADW Force Close on me, not once. The damn thing runs flawlessly across almost all versions of Android OS.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goob1284:
Ya its lp. I tried so many of them and lose so much battery for some reason. But go launcher I think may become my new favorite
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pizz0wn3d:
Woot!

Here's what my homescreen looks like with go launcher ex:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] goob1284:
What widgets do you have?!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Hondo209:
ADW Launcher for me, Launch Pro is very laggy.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pizz0wn3d:
The time and date widget is a custom one I made through the "make your clock widget" app, I believe it's called. The media one is power amp with the widget background disabled.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Hondo82:
Launcher Pro seems to work best for me
[Captivate Themes and Apps] desmopilot:
Huge fan of zeam. Nice, light and simple.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] silentheero:
IMO, I think asking which launcher is best is like asking which carbonated beverage is best (Coke ;) ) I think it is mostly a matter of preference. The lagging, FCs, and bugs are usually worked out pretty quickly, but what features that separate them are what certain people are drawn to. It is true though that some phones don't play well with some launchers...

I have used most of them- Panda home, Launcher Pro, GO Launcher, ADW, Zeam, and liked them all for different reasons. I've been using ADW more lately because of CM though.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DiscipleDOC:
Same here. I used to use TW Pro and Launch Pro, but ADW is much more customizable (imo).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iwantatransam:
mail count

I'm running Launcher Pro, but I'm wanting to try other ones. the thing I really like about launcher pro is the "unread" count that is iOS like on the doc, is there another launcher that has that? I'm fine if it's not on the doc, but I like that a lot (obviously I come from the iphone before graduating)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] s1l3nt:
adw has it too but its a separate app called ADWNotifier
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TechNut*:
I would def recommand ADW Pro! I've had it and LOVE IT! Never have any issues with FC or eating my battery.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] KayvinM:
+1 I've tried many of the other launchers but always went back to ADW EX. I like the fact that it allows you to customize your dock and home screen icon size.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mbtt:
Launcherpro plus
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
I've yet to find a launcher that comes close to the smoothness of the stock launcher.

Captivate, XDA Premium, Cyanogenmod
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bbto:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Hep992000:
ADW EX for me
[Captivate Themes and Apps] itdiestoday:
Ive pretty much come to the same conclusion.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] GreyRain:
I personally use Launcher Pro. I feel it is the most customizable, the preference UI is easy to navigate through and it is quite snappy.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gokartracer5:
I have used Launcher Pro Plus since I started flashing ROMs. I tried Zeam and Go Launcher EX this weekend and found them laggy. But, It appears that Launcher Pro is draining my battery more than the others. I like Go Launcher Ex feature-wise, but its strange that it pauses in the middle of refreshing my home screen after unlock. I also tried ADW Launcher and didn't like it at all.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gokartracer5:
Anyone tried LiveHome?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] 4n6science:
Just downloaded Go Launcher Ex and I'm liking the expanded features it has compared to Launcher Pro. Going to give this a whirl for a while and then decide on which launcher to stay with.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fchowla:
I like Launcher Pro, but the best for me is ADW EX. The Hidden Dockbar alone is worth the price of admission.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xnoctis93:
I'd say LP is the best in terms of speed and overall performance
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mechanical tool:
I tried ADW first, and found LP didnt quite work the same, so ive stuck with ADW, then ADW EX and i find it works pretty well.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] FroztIkon:
I've used ADW and ADW Ex. I'm currently running Android Seven. Lite and paid versions. I like AS for its simplistic design as well as the muscle memory.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] JSKershaw:
I'm currently using Go Launcher EX.

I've tried both Launcher Pro and ADW EX, but Go Launcher seems to have the most features from what I can tell.

The only problem with Go Launcher (since the latest update) is that I'm finding after a reboot some of my widgets move around or disappear. I'm not sure if this is the launcher or something to do with the Firefly ROM I currently have installed on my Captivate. I hope it's the Launcher and that the Go Team is looking to fix the problem.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] PuffinNugz:
So, basically to sum up this thread, test them out yourself. The best one is the one you end up with.

It is ALL personal preference.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] socrated13:
Yeah pretty much.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Go Launcher EX seems to be pretty cool. I have TW launcher, Zeam, Launcher Pro all installed in my captivate. I kind of like Go Launcher EX 'cause it is brings a mix of all good things from Launcher Pro and ADW EX. Try it. Zeam is a great minimalist launcher. if you need speed go with Zeam.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Can someone tell me besides Launch pro, which launcher has the 3d app drawer?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
Gingerbread launcher by Stephen Lin ..search it in the market
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Not bad.... what about one that has a dock that can be played with? At least a 5 dock for favorite apps....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
Anyone tried the Xperia Arc Launcher?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=985515
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gorgy76:
Yeah. have use this launcher currently, been using launcher pro and zeam launcher this one blows them away with its features as to my opinion. Others think it uses more battery but to me it uses less compared to the stock launcher came with my custom rom you just have to know what you are doing. when you install this launcher be sure to make it as your default and force stop the launcher that came with your rom in the settings in manage application, you can still revert back to your old launcher if you wanted to by simply disabling the default in the setting of your current launcher in the manage application setting. Too many launcher installed in your phone without disabling them could render poor battery status as it is still using memory since this launchers will became part of your system and is excluded from memory management of the system when killing running apps. This launcher caters too many customizations according to your liking. The good part is, it is free and you can uninstall it if you don't like.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] :
This question would probably get more feedback if a poll was included.

My vote goes to LauncherPro Plus.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:
I downloaded this as my fifth launcher. Very unique with some cool animations. Some ppl may not like it because of the fact that it is very different.from the rest
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jackjack078:
I have tried couple launchers, launcher pro plus, adw ex, open home, and net front.... I found launcher pro plus suits me best, until tried spb mobile shell.. It just blown everthing else away. Imagine sense but nicer and better, plus 3d. Simply amazing. highly looking forword to the final version.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] s1l3nt:
For me it's tied between launcher pro plus and adw ex. Some days i use one other days i use the other
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sailerboy:
I enjoy minimalistic launchers. For a while, i used HeLauncher, which was pretty nice. Then I found Launcher 7, which looks like the windows phone 7 launcher. I'm using that now, and love it.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] antonyvijai:

:-) cool ..search captivate themes and apps for this mod
[Captivate Themes and Apps] deanhatescoffee:
I personally prefer LauncherPro Plus. It's always been my go-to launcher. For my wife, however, I have GO Launcher EX set up for her because it seems to be easier to use. It's more iPhone-like, and it actually has a few more features than Launcher Pro (though I prefer Launcher Pro's app drawer).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rocketcuse:
ADW is what I always come back to. LauncherPro like many have stated drains my battery pretty fast.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Saltatrix:
I also have used a ton of launchers, Launcher Pro was my favorite for a long time but ive been having issues with it recently. About 2 months ago i gave Go Launcher a try, it is every bit as capable as LP with some added functionality in the app drawer among others. On my phone running Darky 9.2 it is also much faster than LP. In my opinion Go Launcher is by far the best in the market. The only thing i miss from LP are the widgets, although colorize comes pretty close.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jamesbchrist:
Definately ADW EX, I'm running that with the Blackgold theme, looks amazing
[Captivate Themes and Apps] FroztIkon:
I have to agree. I've used many but I always come back to ADW launcher ex. It simply has more to offer as well as more themes
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sepherian:
Go launcher ftw

go launcher is super amazing
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
Are there any launchers that will let me use the stock program monitor widget?

That was the only thing (besides the 30% higher battery usage) that I did not like about launcher pro.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kodos96:
Where'd you get those dock icons from? Go launcher doesn't seem to support icon packs...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sithlordzid:
Just loaded ADW and loved it. Uninstalled launcher pro.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ADHDassassin:
Zeam

I have just switched to Zeam lately on my captivate and so far I have been pleasantly surprised by its speed. I have been using launcher pro since the day the captivate came out, and it was starting to feel stale and felt like it was getting bogged down...

That also may have been due to running 7 homescreens that were completely full with about 2/3 of the space using widgets :p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jessymessy:
Since this thread is about launchers.

Has anyone else here had problems with their dock on ADW disappearing? I have tried "locking" the desktop and reinstalling ADW 3x. I haven't tried it since upgrading to serendipity 6.2 but, i don't see why it would matter. any ideas on how to keep my dock from going MIA. I'm currently using LP but i liked ADW better.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] sandrich:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] b0uncyfr0:
Im running it on Serendipity 6.2 without a hitch. Its has a lot of potential but a few niggles in th UI here and there. If it gets any better it is without a doubt the best launcher weve had yet.

Go Launcher EX for most customization, it's free and with the right theme pack and Colorize, blows the rest of the launchers away in terms of looks. Bit laggy on the app drawer though.

I run this on every single ROM!
