Home Replacement Apps: ADW Launcher

[jerroedr]

Updating Original Post over the next few days, I will try to make it more general as I will be going on deployment first of Feb and will be unable to come back to answer questions, or keep it up-to-date with latest version. Hopefully another ADW enthusiast can come back and help out.

dude, good luck and safe travels

What is "lop"?

I have refresh issues with ADW Ex on Droid 1. Takes a long time to refresh. Don't get this as much with plain old ADW.

I can't get ADWlauncher to work. I wasn't paying attention and set the default home button action to HTC Sense now I can't even access ADW launcher at all. I've tried clearing ADW's defaults but it says there are none to clear. How do I access ADW again? I've tried unistalling and reinstalling already.

You'll need to find the app for Sense's launcher and clear the default settings for that one.

Alternatively, you could probably install another launcher (lp, zeam, go, etc.), and then, after setting ADW as default, uninstall the extra launcher.

Is it possible to still run my HTC widgets while running ADW? I've noticed things like weather, clock, and other HTC widgets are not available on the ADW homescreen...a little disappointing.

Unfortunately not. They're sense-only. However, you could try Beautiful Widgets from the Market. Paid app but, as the name implies, beautiful.

[Bilgediver]

Another good one is "Weather and Toggle Widgets", they are just as "pretty" as Beautiful Widgets.

I'm quite sure if you have root you can "get" HTC's widgets to work with any Home Replacement, I just don't know how.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction
Looking to change the color of the Desktop indicators (the dots at the top of the screen) any pointers?

Cheers

so I'm really committed to ADW these days, I like it more than LP for many reasons - none of which are important here - and I would be totally and completely happy except for 2 things: Launcher Pro's FB and Twitter Widgets.

they are hands down my favorite widgets for FB and Twitter. and try as I might I can't seem to find any widgets on the market that look and work the same way...

so - anyone have any suggestions?
