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 |

Its the default launcher for cyanogenmod. -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?

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.
