Android Compatible Android Home Screens?

kveroneau · 12-16-2010, 09:41 PM

I haven't tried installing a new home screen on my eDGe yet, as I am not sure how the eDGe will handle it. What I mean by home screen, is for example, ADW Launcher, PandaHome, SweeterHome, etc...

Has anybody else attempted to install a different home screen/launcher and does it work correctly? My phone currently uses ADW Launcher, as it has support for really cool themes. These theses would look wonderful on a larger screen.

There is a really neat "paper" theme, that would suit a device like this.

I don't know if any of them work correctly, but I am reluctant to add "eye candy" to the edge because of the possible slow down.

I use ADW and love it. From what you mentioned, you should try it. It works very well.

Do you see any lag?

On your eDGe, or a phone...?

ADW Launcher has been successfully installed on my Pocket eDGe and I am happy to say, it is compatible. You can even add more icons, by increasing the rows and columns. I just made a YouTube video displaying the Launcher and how to revert back to the original home screen, if needed. The video is currently uploading, but I will provide a link very soon. ADW Launcher is more responsive on my eDGe than it is on my phone. Although my phone is a crappy low-end LG Eve, hacked with Android 1.6(originally ships with 1.5). I will post the APK files online for those who want to experiment with this Launcher, as it is only available on the Android Market.

Neat! I'll have to give it a shot.

I loaded ADW some time ago and have had no problems to date, although I don't run a bunch of themes. Like Cheyenne I keep that pretty basic. I particulary like the multiple home screens, though. But, since Entourage updated their home screen, I find I'm using it more than ADW now.

Your post seems more like a commercial for dvdtopshop then adding to the discussion at hand.

The post is clearly spam.
