Seriously? Did you read any of this thread? Menu/configure/screen size.

Does helixlauncher effect battery life?

Not that I have noticed.

It appers that Kiush has ported the N1 "launcher2" to work with non-rooted 2.1 Droids.

Available in the market.

Note: This is not helix2, but his own porting of it, hence while you DO get the 3D app Drawer with 5 rows (YES you heard me correctly), you will NOT have the 4 shortcut placeholders.

So ... if you're into having the 3d bit like the N1 but are not rooted, go to the market!

Search for either “Clockworkmod Launcher” or “Launcher 2” ...

No idea if this has been mentioned, but I discovered that you can put a shortcut from App Organizer in the 4 bottom spots. If you put a shortcut to "all labels" in there, you can launch many apps from that one spot. Saves tons of screen space.

Not the same and not on every page...

Not sure what you mean here. I placed a shortcut to "all labels" in one of the bottom four spots, I can launch it from all 7 screens.

Help!!!

Downloaded Helixlauncher 2, and when I went to open an app, I was asked which to use as the default. I checked Helixlauncher 2, and now I am stuck in a perpetual FC loop saying "The application HelixLauncher2 (process com.helixproject.launcher2) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Every time I hit the FC button, it loops right back to the warning message.

I sure hope there's a solution!!!

Thanks.

The solution is to NOT use Helix Launcher2 if your phone is NOT a Nexus One. Download Helix Launcher, and it should work fine.

Try hitting menu several times right after you FC to see if you can get into settings and uninstall the app. There are threads here on that issue that I think have other options. There is solution, so don't worry too much.

I know this has been asked before, but what is rooted?

Not sure why but I'm getting quite a bit of FC. Haven't changed anything, have the 2.1 update. Anyone else noticed this? I have 6 screens with about 15 widgets

Been running with helixLauncher (Not 2) now for 10 days. Been working great for me with 18 Apps.
