Finally I saw the new ADWLauncher EX screen shot for honeycomb.
it looks really nice I think, has anyone tried it yet?
I'm gonna pay or the app soon, but don't you think 3$ is pretty much for a launcher!!?

Oh it's well worth the payment. I've been using ADWLauncher EX on my Xoom since launch day. It was always pretty good then, but now it got another update for Honeycomb tablets. (It had one before this latest update that came out a few months back for 3.1 tablets.)
It's fast, stable, and has very has many features to customize. I say 110% yes to ADW!
yes i have it on my xoom and looks very nice, doung some good tweks to get my new home screen setup. But hope some update can hide the logo ADW in the top to make ir more clean. Maybe a little expensive but it deserves.
See ya!
scrolling in scroll-able widgets (such as gmail/email/wizz ) is very lagging

With the latest update, the logo has been replaced with the app drawer icon. Much smaller than the Adw launcher icon was, and much more useful because it actually has a purpose. I don't use the upper left hand corner app drawer icon, as I have a different screen setup. So, I suppose I don't need that little icon there myself, though it hardly takes up any space.

Actually, you can disable all the of top bar buttons (including the icons) from within ADW.
Long Press Screen,
Select Launcher Actions,
Select Hide/Show Action Bar.
Then I just delete the added icon. More Screen Real Estate for the win!

Great tip! With the Notification bar remover app this is great.
it has a few quirks and you lose the cooler stock animations from honeycomb...still not a perfect replacement for me yet. Too phonish for me still...sure they have an expandable dock now, but everything else is textbook from what I can run on my phone. I'm holding out for something just for tabs.

yep, pretty slick! As well as the Notification bar gone I use Virutal Button Bar (Market) for any home, back etc. buttons I'm missing.

Oh yeah, I saw that a few days ago when the update came out. Forgot to mention that. I removed the top bar just now, and it's nice. I love ADW. I use it on both my phone and tablet alike!
More screen space equals more awesomeness!

OMG IT WORKS...this is the only reason i have stayed on version 1.2.2 on my xoom .
Nevermind, it comes back every time i reboot Going back to 1.2.2.
but, don't you guys think, the stock one is still better?
I'm happy with all the features it got, but I feel like I have more space to use in stock anyway.
+ I feel like scrolling between the pages is not so good.

Faster and nice you can use icon packs but stock animations are better hands down the adw animations just aren't as cool on a tablet

ADW has a screen adjustment setting. You can set the screen to a 10x10 grid. It has screen transition options as well to adjust. You might have to adjust the flick scroll settings or change the transition type for what works best for you. If you want full launcher customization... go with ADW, but if you do not want to fuss with the technical details I say to stay with the stock launcher all the way. It's a straight out of the box experience with nothing to set up or adjust.
ADW is not laggy or slow in the least bit. Maybe you need to try some adjustments/tweaks if you are going to use ADW. There are plenty of those found in the options. Stock launchers I feel have always been laggy, as they are just the basic core launcher with little or no options. The bare bones in most cases just to get you started, if you will. But, Google is always working on the launcher. Soon enough the default launcher will be excellent. It's getting much better for sure.
I would like if if you could put the bar at the bottom to the left.

thanks for help with settings, I think they help me like it somehow more than the stock.
I was probably the biggest skeptic on replacing my stock launcher, so i didnt. I still use it. I used this to supplement it. Its nowhere near a phone feel once you customize...just remove top bar and don't use app dock. The custom transitions bring a breath of fresh air to my xoom, and the 4d app scroll is friggin awesome. Make sure you adjust the speed on open/closing. I hate saying this, but trust me.
. Xoom being field tested in Iraq.
I´m officially impressed. Just bought it, along with HD widgets.
Does any1 have a working scrollable twitter widget ? On the SGS2 I use the twitter launcherpro native widget... with the Xoom I was using the Plume Twitter client Widget.
But sad thing, it appears that the plume widget won´t work at all with ADW
Now I don´t have a decent twitter widget (still looking for a news and facebook scrollable) widgets
In adw go into settings, general behavior, system preferences and change scrolling cache to low. Should help with scrolling Widgets.
Try android pro Widgets for Facebook or twitter Widgets.
I'm looking for a portrait "hub" layout of sorts for my nexus 7.
I've been reading through XDA and other forums for the past few days checking out the different tablets and homescreens.
I have found some fantastic ideas from others, but they all use either ADW EX Launcher or Launcher Pro Plus.
Launcher Pro Plus doesn't play very nicely with Jelly Bean.
ADW EX works decently, but I cannot get the show/hide status bar to remove the top bar on ADW unless I take my DPI back to 160dpi to kick my notifications bar to the bottom of the screen.
I don't like the tablet UI b/c I use my device 99% of the time in portrait mode.
Unfortunately this makes neither LPP or ADWEX viable options for me.
Is there a launcher that allows to 100% disable transitions and you can jump to page 'X' without seeing any of the other screens, the same ADW and LPP do?
Thank you in advance! Any and ALL help is GREATLY appreciated.
I read that twice and I still have no clue what you are talking about. Maybe you can post a video.

I guess I am aware I can Set the screen transition to none, but that still shows the screen as I move from one screen to another. I am hoping I can click directly on a shortcut that will take me to the desired screen (jump to screen x) without any other transition showing. Instead I see the other screens pass by even when clicking on jump to screen.
Does that make sense?

Hi all!
For people with rooted phones.
Do any of you actually get a fullscreen wallpaper when soft keys are removed?
If so, what have you modified / apps installed?
I'm using Hide bottom bar ("Hide bar")
And tried with countless wallpaper apps, but to no avail.
1/3rd of the space previously occupied by the soft keys stays black.
You probably need to modify the framework for that.

Fullscreen Toggle (here from XDA) + Nova Launcher. Hidden Notification.
Works like it should
By god must I have been blind?!
I have been to that thread where the .apk is before.
Well, guess I need to be spoonfed things once in a while.
This solved it!
The "Hide Bottom Bar" also removed the status bar completely, not making it possible to hide/show with any launcher.
Now this is possible again with the use of launcher.
Also the whole screen is now covered by the wallpaper, which is the most important thing.:laugh:
How can I tweak the inbuilt OnePlus launcher to add certain functionalities like hiding apps or organising them in folders within the app drawer?
(I haven't rooted my phone it is currently using OxygenOS version 4.0.3)
I know the easier option is to install another launchers available out there with these features. But I have found that UI of OnePlus launcher is quite clean. Though Launchers from play store like nova, arrow, buzz allow you to customise the icon size and lable's font size on the home screen, it is not possible in the app drawer, which makes to UI little clumpsy thus I want to add the feature of organising and hiding to oneplus launcher itself.
Nova allows you to tinker with icon size, text size, no. of icons horizontally and vertically, background colour, scroll bar colour etc. You can also setup swipe actions on desktop like one plus launcher and add even more gestures.

See. Many launchers have this feature in their paid version, but not in their free version. And, I personally don't believe in paying for an app without trying all its feature at least for a week for free.
Though I would try NOVA Prime, I want to know HOW can I tweak the in-built launcher?

You can't. Either you like what OnePlus likes or you choose a different Launcher.
