idont get y u guys r complaining about helixlauncher2...it clearly says in the description "Nexus1Only" and your trying to put it on a droid...common sense people

I sure hope there's a solution!!!

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

Or you can download ClockworkMod Launcher. It gives you the Nexus 1 software that was missing from the update, including the 3D App Drawer

Helix Launcher FC loop?

Has anyone else had the helix launcher go into an endless loop of FC's. I cant even access anything on my home screen before it freezes up. Any solutions?

if your on helix 2, then yes it will FC since the description does say for Nexus, but regular helix shouldnt

 

[kiyanofosho]

is this going to be ported for the droid?

It already has been. Search for ClockworkMod Launcher in the market.

It happened to me too after I changed the number of home screens. What I did was hit the menu button then hit the settings button, then I uninstalled Helix. It took a few tries to get into the settings menu and it's a pain to do, but you can do it. The only other alternative that I can see is to do a system recovery at startup.

Helix is running like butter on 2.1 for me. Its actually very very fast.

I'm running Helix 1.2a on 2.1 and it's been very very smooth. No issues at all. Beautiful widget works well on Helix also.

Just wanted to add my +1. Been running Helix for almost a week now. Not 1 FC and pretty darn smooth. Seems a wee bit slower at times (no overclock here) but I'm also running more screens, more widgets and live wallpaper... all of which were not the case before Helix, so a tiny slowdown is probably expected. I also fully admit that I think even this is the beginning of my slippery slope in to eventually rooting :icon_eek: but for now, I couldn't be happier.

quarter thousand replies? OK, the DNA is great. Just don't do helix 2, as that is still a nexus thang. Lovin my helix 1 (deja vu)

I've been using helix for a few days now over GDE I was running for. With 5 screens, live wallpapers running, Beautiful Widgets so far so good. I occasionally will get a bit of lag and have to wait a second for a few icons to pop back on the screen. I also have only gotten one FC so far. I have recently started to shut off my GPS locator when I am going to be in one place for a while, like work and home, and that really speeds up my phone and saves battery.
