Just curious about people's general view of which is better? I rarely see any roms with launcher pro instead usually use adw...is there a reason for this?

I personally like launcherpro better. It has all the features adw has (minus themes) and i find it faster. Just my opinion.

I'm using Tazz's froyo build it uses ADW as default. I have grown to like it, before while I had 2.1 I was always running Launcher PRO. They both have there plusses but Launcher Pro is the king.

launcher pro shows missed calls and emails for icons in the dock. i like that little touch. adw has the themes and really like that.
kinda go back and forth for now.
Launcherpro.
What I've come to understand is that while LauncherPro packs more features, ADW has the advantage of being open source. I've seen differing opinions on which one is "better" in terms of resources and performance, but I think the open source versus closed source bit is why so many roms include ADW.
The open source really just leads to a million themes for it lol, launcherpro's dev is pretty great. He's quick to respond to tweets/ emails and he's managed to get sense/ blur widgets. Plus it's incredibly fast... smoothest I've had by far.
LPP for life yo
Launcher pro is all I use.

I've used both, but truly prefer LauncherPro Plus. Resizing widgets, notifications in the dock, and smooth fast performance makes for a happy Eris

Launcher pro, 3d app drawer and scrollable dock. Must have.

It's my understanding that ADW and Cyanogen are closely tied in some way (??).
I purchased LauncherPro. Everyone here likes LauncherPro, ROM developers need to use it instead of ADW. I usually install LauncherPro first thing after a fresh ROM install.

The reason I love ADW is for the swyping option on the home screens. I can swype up and the notification bar disappears and I can swype down and the dock disappears. pretty slick.....

It can be disabled FYI. It scared me the first time I accidentally swipe down and lost my thing. I freaked out and rebooted my phone. Lol. I still like LauncherPro =)

This is one of the few features that I really miss when using LP. They are both great programs. LP always seems faster and and smoother. The notifications on the icons is another great feature.

Keep in mind there is a couple versions of adw. There's the system integrated that's on ROMs from the get go, then there's the standalone from the market. Launcher pro is great. My wife uses it on her droid. Both are good I think it all comes down to features.

Fresh updates
Can anyone send the link to the most recent Launcher Pro, and ADW?
Thanks guys
I'm now using CM7 RC1 and I found the stock keyboard not that good. Can anyone recommend the best keyboard for CM7? Originally I wanted to try Swype but I could not find the way to install it on my defy with CM7! Help appreciated, thanks
If u want swype, go to swype website, sign up, they email u an installer.apk which u open to install swype, I have it on cm7

If it fc's, you've downloaded the wrong version I downloaded the one called "2.2" when using it on my Defy with CM7.

Smart Keyboard? Simply the best for me.

Smart Keyboard PRO!
SwiftKey X
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey&feature=search_result
I am now using the stock moto keyboard on cm7
It is really useful!
can you show the link? i want to try to...thx
+1 for Swiftkey X
It was the first app I bought for my Defy
SwiftKey X gets my vote too. Have been using a variant of SwiftKey for almost a year now. Can't imagine ever using another keyboard.
If you like Swype. SlideIt is pretty cool also.
HTC_IME simply the best!
Has many many customizations and for me the most important thing: very responsive alphanumeric and compact QWERTY modes. I tried many keyboards that have alphanumeric input but all of them are unusable because of lag.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416 must have!
Install High resolution version (Froyo/2.2)
i have tried and used many keyboards in the past but i really like the stock one thsat comes with cm71.5. by far and away the best for predictive text and very responsive.
however i installed the new release of swype and man i am sold. i absolutely love it. tried it when it was first released and hated it. it just didnt seem very good. however this version i have now is amazing. lets put it this way there are only a few apps that i really really want on my phone and swype is one of them.
it is just so easy to use and it also has a voice input key if you simply want to talk to it. bloody top stuff and gets my vote as the keyboard to have.
give smart keyboard pro a try. lots of skins, lots of options. great keyboard.
Go keyboard is great
Swiftkey x..the best..

it would be so cool if it were possible to have a touch wiz rom on the droid razr, but because of verizon/moto we are completly blocked so my question is...
is it possibly to port applications from touchwiz(ex. twlauncher, music player, gallery and camera app) to work on the droid razr?

I don't think so, as I believe you need the touchwiz framework to go with it. What makes you like those apps so much if I may ask? The stock camera app is fine, and you can download an aosp looking gallery that would be just as good. You can download a touchwiz style launcher in the marketplace.
Btw. Wrong section I believe.

well specifically i would use touchwiz because this was done for the droid 2, but specifically i would like touchwiz on the razr because touchwiz is amazingly smooth on the gs2 and considering this droid razr has similar specs and hardware it would be nice to see a port.
for example the multitouch in the gallery on the droid razr is horrible....the camera is kinda cluttered and the launcher has its own tyoe of glitches.
even though touchwiz isnt the best android skin out there its a lil bit better that motoblur/motorola application platform

Personally I wouldn't count on touchwiz but it may happen. Like I said look for a touchwiz style launcher in the marketplace. I use adw launcher with an ics theme and it works flawlessly. Camera works fine for me.

Hi all, I would like to request for galaxy s3's camera, Widgets and lock screen app , is that possible? I will be very thankful I have a GSM razr running on black widow ics
Thx
Great

Bump?
Why dont u get a s3 if u want all this?
Visit my channel on youtube
youtube.com/Therazrguy
becouse bro they just want feature not a phone, Razr is best built quality, like monster or S3 is just plastic metal (I hOPE u gOT iT)
For the camera I'm sure you'll need to be on ICS
That would be cool to get some of the widgets off of the Samsung s3 onto the razr.

If we're making requests for widgets, I'll take Sense 4.0 home clock/weather widget

Its personal choice a guess , why do thousands of android users like miui ? it doesnt mean they want a iphone ,
they just like the user interface of a specific phone and android is easy to customise as its open source

Get beautiful widgets. It is almost identical. I love that weather/clock widget myself too. I found beautiful widget really close in functionality.
Here is an example.
Anyone have the live wallpaper Aurora, of the Galaxy S?

Hi guys, I've packed the latest Razr I's launcher and circle widget to flash via recovery. It has some laggs while scrolling homepages, but at other side it smooth. I'm tried to 'just' copy apps and no luck with Widget 3D. So I maded working Widget - it only needed to copy some files, according this tutorial: http://forums.androidcentral.com/dr...ts-notification-count-few-stock-app-razr.html
Be sure that you have at least 40MB free in System-ROM, because widget is 38MB size.
UPDATE: Razr M launcher on Defy - looks bad - resolution issues.... See last my post for screenshots.
UPDATE1: Resized Razr M launcher....

You must use provided launcher by ZIP, if you try to open widget on trebuchet launcher, you'll get following error, that widget can't be viewed on 3D launchers.
EDIT: Tried Razr M launcher - still lags. Tried XT912 launcher - it looks very ugly..... It also lags little with Droid Razr so problem is not in low hardware. I don't know how to made off lags.... Maybe supercharge...

Nice look, but laggy when scrolling even on higly overclocked defy. Hates laggs.
Somebody can test Razr M launcher + Razr M widgets, because I can't test it for now - I'm temporarily on gingerbread. I think it should be more stable. For more info read first post.
I've been messing around with the Atrix HD Launcher and Circles widget, and one possible reason the Razr HD launcher looks bad is its not in hdpi. Atrix HD Launcher is mdpi & xhdpi....seems like Moto is trying to prevent porting...but I've converted all the xhdpi's into hdpi. I just gotta repack and see if it helps.
I've also tried to make Circles work without the Moto launcher, but no success. The Circles widget has some smali for Homescreen and Homeconfig in it. I tried the obvious and removed the homescreen permissions line in AndroidManifest.xml (didn't work for other launchers).
As far as the rest of porting Atrix HD ICS Blur....some things work, some don't (like gps in Smart Actions ). I've also converted all the Blur xhdpi into hdpi as well.
I'm not 100% sure, but the Atrix HD and Razr HD might use the exact same apps* for blur, launcher, Circles.
*maybe different version numbers, but they look the same in screenshots
