2.1 launcher works on Milestone 2.0.1

[big_adventure]

The title of the post says it all. The launcher is available on Alldroid, hacked and put up by a user there. You just install it, and it works. I have yet to notice any real negatives in functionality - it is as smooth as the 2.0.1 Milestone launcher, and it gives you 5 home screens. It has not crashed.

I don't really know if I like the new app drawer, though. It is pretty, but it is slower than the old one and doesn't show as much per "flick". You have to recreate your old widgets, and you'll lose all of the icons on the home (you just have to put them back).

It does not. Search around for the file in the droid forum on Alldroid, but you have to be at 2.0.1 to run it.

I tried this launcher, but it doesn't really add value to the phone, and up to me, it's more laggy than the 2.0.1 one. So I uninstalled.

I did the same thing - I didn't uninstall it, but I did set the phone back to defaulting to the 2.0.1 home. Now, if I could just get 5 screens...

Home++ can do that. I had it sur la 2.0, and it works not too bad .

I tried home++ as well. It's pretty, but it seemed a bit slower (and coming from a BB Bold, I like my speed) and it went int "wait or close" once in a while. I killed it after a day or two.
