HelixLauncher /HelixLauncher 2

[ipawd1]

nice job! Did you download Helix2 or Helix. Helix works fine...Helix 2 was the FC loop for me.

Helix 2 will only work on ere25 or older builds. I think we should make this clear somewhere. Maybe Rintin can edit his original post. Ese53 has to use the regular helix launcher.

What he said.

Toast, it doesn't come with LW, it supports them if your ROM has them.

Helixlauncher2 = floppidy doo. Constant FC ditched!

I don't see what the big deal is. Don't get me wrong this is a nice launcher and I went and rated it 5 stars in the market but for non-rooted users there are already better home replacement apps that have more features than this app.

I guess this is useful for people running 2.1 roms that don't have live wallpapers but if you just want the buttons at the bottom and the extra screens then there are lots of other home replacement apps that already do that ....

Installed and running fine. before setting as default, I removed my widgets and then set it as default. I reapplied my widget (battery life) and this is one of the first launchers for me that the widget actually works. Have it set for 5 screens (like the fact it can go up to 7). It has been about 20 minutes and no FCs I am running a nonrooted droid. I would have liked to see the live wallpapers with it, but no such luck.

Maybe because it was super easy and you don't have to install the other junk? Just .apk install and you're off ???

I just DL'd Helixlauncher and installed it to my Droid (1ghz, droidmod 1.0 rom). Smooth as silk and it gives full function to live wallpapers! I'm using 5 screens, btw.

By far, my favorite launcher app

Downloaded this morning...didn't do the remove of icons first, so I corrected that. Since then...smoooooooth. No force closes, auto rotates just fine...love the addition of 4 icons to the bottom...if it had the 3d cube (stable of course...lol) it would be perfect! Maybe in time that can be worked on...if not...I'm not hurting from it.

Yep -- second. 3D app tray and I'd be in hog heaven

Since the 3D app tray has so much trouble in 2.1, does that mean the same is true of the Nexus One and for the assumed future release of 2.1?
