Well, tried LauncherPro....its great but i dont know if i have the talent to create my own icons LOL SO I switched to ADW and made my phone all cute and girlie ;) Easy to do when you have premade icons and such....i am noticing a bit of lag time as some of you have said.

A little OT but what are you all using to take screen shots of your phones? Thanks!

be sure to delete any widgets you had running on your original launcher layout, they're still running in the background if you didn't (this may be causing your lag).
If you DL and install "home switcher" you can easily switch back and forth between launchers to compare/configure.
There's also an "ADW Notifier" app you can DL if you like seeing missed call, email, or message notifications on your homescreen icons.

Glad to try to help, this place really helped me when trying to optimize my X.

The notifier just puts a little bubble with a number in it on your pre-existing icon. That was the only feature I missed from my Eris that the X couldn't seen to duplicate itself.

Are you getting any menu at all? If not, is the desktop locked? (hit menu key while on homescreen- do you have the option to lock or unlock the desktop?)

I usually lock my desktop, & my wife's, and unlock it when I want to change something. Otherwise, while getting used to ADW, we were constantly dragging the app tray off the dock, or accidentally deleting the phone dialer, etc- things it took a little research to figure how to undo at first.

Have you added pages yet?

Looking good!

Oh yeah i have the one home page for things for our 1 1/2 year old daughter to play and the other page for pandora and wifi and bluetooth...stuff like that. I got rid of the status bar so i put the battery level on one page...anyone know of a widget or something that shows 3g status/reception bars?

More options

Although LPP and ADW are my favorites, Crazy Home and Zeam are pretty nice too. They are free, so it's worth checking them out too. There is a new launcher called "7". Haven't tried it yet, but it looks nice

Pretty simple really.

Launcher Pro +, custom wallpaper, Jorte calendar, weather & toggle widget for the weather/clock, custom icons & dock background for the Launcher.

The phone is rooted, but all this will work without rooting & it absolutely flies (absolutely no lag whatever)

Feel free to PM me & I'll help you out in any way you want :)

I am using Launcher Pro, how do you switch back to the original launcher (Blur) so I can delete any widgets on that desktop?
