I've had my Droid X for awhile now, and it still makes me feel retarded sometimes.  

Anyway, anyone have experience with ADW Launcher (the free version, if that matters)?  I just installed it from the Market, and all of my icons, shortcuts, etc, disappeared.  It freaked me out, so I uninstalled it and everything went back to normal.  

-Assuming all of my stuff disappearing is normal, is it just a matter of setting up your homescreens again, by adding the shortcuts you want?

-Can you still add all of the standard widgets/shortcuts/whatever to your homescreens?  Such as the "Sticky Note"?  (I actually use it a lot)  Or are there ADW-specific ones you have to use?

-Does this launcher effect battery-life?

-I know I already said I installed/uninstalled and everything went back to normal, but I didn't mess with the settings at all.  Is there anything in the settings that would make anything irreversible by simply uninstalling it in the Market?

-Every pic I've seen of ADW Launcher shows a huge clock with integrated weather report.  Is that something that comes with it, or a standalone app?

-Is there anything in ADW that allows you to take screenshots?  Or is that still only available to rooted phones?


Again, this is on a Droid X, if that matters.

i think thats the beautiful widgets app for the clock.



you need to reconfigure your desk top. then you can save the settings inside adw(menu , more, adw settings.



i had to prevent mine from rotating the desktop because it would force close sometimes. but it works pretty good

 

Pretty much this.  I use the ADW EX Launcher (paid) with beautiful widgets (paid) apps.



I like it!  No you cannot take a screenshot with it without having your device rooted.

OK, thanks for the info.  I'll take another stab at it today.  Seeing all of my stuff disappear freaked me out.  I guess I was assuming it would transfer all of my homescreen stuff over.
