Ok so I rooted my samsung galaxy note 10.1 today. I immediately bought the full version of adw launcher and installed it. Now I have a bit of experience with Android and launchers so I have tried all the usual methods of setting a default launcher. I tried the home key then "always use" method. I tried clearing the default on the stock launcher. And I've been looking at other methods but none sound like anything I want to risk doing with my new 500 dollar tablet. Does anyone know of a simple and straight forward method of setting a default launcher? EDIT:: It was asking me to select a default launcher despite the fact that i had said that i want it to always use ADW EX. In the end the solution was to simply use Titanium Backup and remove all the other launchers. =) (Sent from my rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 using Google Chrome)

Update of ADW Launcher EX is back again after a long time. It brings lot of visual tweaks as well as performance boosts. After few days of experience, I have encountered one even more interesting thing: I am unable to kill it by increasing system load (which is a very good thing). When foreground apps are launched, Android kills background apps based on minfree values. The apps having running services and notification get higher priority than normal background apps, but get lesser priority than foreground apps. Latest version of ADW Launcher EX has a running service (but no higher priority running notification) which is same as old versions and other launcher apps. I have used Go Launcher EX, LauncherPro, old version of ADW Launcher EX etc. All get killed when heavy foreground apps are launched, but latest version of ADW Launcher EX isn't getting killed. Instead, foreground apps are being killed when system load is high. Previously, hot reboot was also able to kill ADW Launcher EX, but now even that one fails. What's the magic behind all these? I am just curious...

I want to upgrade from the free version of **ADW Launcher** to **ADW Launcher EX**. How can I do this without having to re-create all of my app settings and widgets?

When I set new wallpaper, it lasts only until the next sleep. On waking, the default ADW sequence of wallpapers resumes. I can re-select the wallpaper and it will again persist again until the device sleeps. I've tried: - Locking the desktop - doesn't lock the wallpaper. - Upgrading to v 1.3.3.56 - same behavior - Restarting ADW after setting the wallpaper - the wallpaper persists, but still only until a sleep. How can I make it stick? ADW.launcher EX 1.3.3.1

In *Setup Catalog* option, I can only choose apps, but can't rename the catalog. Is there any way to rename a catalog?
