Is that rom for any android phone?!?
I have tried installing both launchers from droid-life but each of them force closes and i can’t even use it. any ideas that might help me
Really love this launcher/drawer, but it absolutely falls apart in landscape mode. Had a ton of crashes and it won’t even pop up a notice giving you the option to FC, it just reboots the phone. That sucks when you’re on a call…
just downloaded and looks great.. ive had it about an hour and no crash but really nice!
Show it in landscape mode… It freezes all the time for me (crashes) anytime I try to use it in landscape, plus the screen fully unlocks anytime I open the keyboard. I know the Nexus doesn’t support landscape, so I wonder if this is ever going to be fixed.
Im a new droid owner.. i have this and it works great. 3 days with it only 1 shut down.. 1 crash. and i use my phone alot.
is this safe to do? any reprocussions after uninstall? is the file safe? thanks
questions buddy if i root my droid and install 2.1 will i lose my gps capabilities
and will i lose any features from 2.0
kind of a dumb question since 2.1 is an update
and one more sorry but if 2.1 does ever come out for the droid will my phone still recieve the update?
1. The milestone is just the euro version droid it has multitouch enabled.
2. If you buy a Droid it will come pre-installed with Android 2.0 and yes you can get updates Android 2.1 should be coming to the Droid soon.
2 questions.
1. is the ‘milestone’ what he DROID is called somewhere outside of the US or is it a new phone coming out? b/c it looks the same to me.
2. If i buy droid and then a new version of Android cmes out, am I able to update it to the new one or would I have to wait to get a new phone?
were do we go to download it?
@JohnPariahPWX Oh, well, I uninstalled and then did a hard reset and it didn’t come back. I really have no use for that anyway.
@bobbyt2012 drag down your notificationbar, and click the multimedia dock thing, it will close u out
Havent noticed a significant battery drain yet, but the launcher definitely strugglings if you go landscape mode with keyboard open.
To revert back: Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Apps and select the Launcher. Click “clear defaults” then hit the home key and select the old launcher.
Sorry haven’t seen that app without the dock…still having issues with it?
Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Apps and select the Launcher. Click “clear defaults” then hit the home key and select the old launcher.
I could have sworn that you made a video about the media center app (without the dock). I installed the app and now I can’t shut off that stupid media center. I actually uninstalled the app from my phone and it was still running.
so as a follow up. i like it, it looks unbelievably sexy. issues thus far are at a minimum. occasionally have to hit the menu icon, then the home icon because my icons wont click-but besides that..nothing.
how does it impact battery life good sirs? my phone is saying the Launcher2 is taking up 6% of my battery use.
also..is it easy to uninstall and revert back to using the default launcher?
force stops like crazy for me .. ill wait for the release
see i would do that but im not risking the launcher crashing my phone cause insurance probably doesnt cover that.
…THIS IS AWESOME! *clap clap clapclapclap* THIS IS AWESOME. will post another comment when I install this.
@LittleRedHead7 Visit our site which is listed in the video description.
@AceFlare983 Android 2.1 wont be out for a bit, but the launcher in this application you can install on your Droid right now. Just go to the website listed in the description.
@bobbyt2012 Its unfortunate but give them some time. The 2.1 OS that is out for the Nexus One has all kinds of bugs, so I’d rather they fix it before giving it to Motorla DROID users.
