Guest Ter4a Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 I used to love launcher pro but the ability to resize Widgets in adw has persuaded me away :( You can resize widgets in LP too. Question: I want to switch to ADW, but I miss the calendar widget, which is resizable in Launcher Pro Plus. Anyone could recommend a good resizable calendar widget? I tried the latest Pure grid calendar, but it just makes the gap bigger around the widget ;)
Guest David.m Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Have you tried adw ex its amazing.
Guest Touch Graphite Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 I think he means the app drawer, in which case in the options you can set it to. Vertical so it behaves and performs as in launcher pro. You can also hide the notification bar in launcher pro too. I used to love launcher pro but the ability to resize Widgets in adw has persuaded me away :( Cheers for the tip, didn't know they was further settings to be adjusted. On that note though, pulling up the menu had settings, ADW Settings and lock desktop all on the one row. Now the ADW settings are under the more tab, strange that. Does ADW launcher have calender and Facebook Widgets like LauncherPro!? The only advantage I can see at the moment. From what peeps have said, both have resizable Widgets and the same style of apparently drawer, but, if I'm not mistaken, ADW launcher is missing interactive Widgets like the HTC Friend stream.

It doesn't have the HTC widgets sadly, but I think you can pick a few up off the market, and I use a widget called Facez for facebook :(

Guest motophiliac Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) I would like a way of making the notification bar smaller, so it didn't come down as far on the screen. Does anyone have a way of doing this? I installed a ROM from here but I have a link to another site with a ROM that allows you to have a smaller notificiation bar. The upscaled icons always looked really shoddy to me and this fixes it but makes the software back and menu buttons (top right of your screen) a little harder to hit. I think it's worth it, though :D Well, I have no idea where the post went that this was a reply to. Something went wrong and it might have been me… Edited January 10, 2011 by motophiliac
Guest remlap Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 That is a add-on from here as it is!
Guest simonta Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 ShootMe has just added screencasting. Great for creating videos...
Guest remlap Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 ShootMe has just added screencasting. Great for creating videos... Won't work with the Vega will it, wouldn't for screen captures.

Guest Sir Gash Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 ShootMe has just added screencasting. Great for creating videos... No, it will not work. However! I have found the only screencasting app that works on the Vega, I have had it installed for weeks but never noticed the screencasting option until today!

Guest simonta Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Folks, my apologies. I updated this on my Desire and forgot the whole Tegra thing on the Vega. Sir Gash has cracked it!. Well done sir.
Guest PurpleRob Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_h13ACZpKc - ADW Launcher EX video on vega Have you guys seen the new launcher pro update it has a number of transition effects between the homescreens. IMO it makes it much better than ads now. Rob

Make sure you also try enabling and disabling the elasticity option (LP Prefrences > Advanced Settings > Elastic Scrolling) as this affects the transitions quite a bit, makes some better and some worse IMO.
