I recently discovered Sweeter Home from some vids on Youtube.
This looks like an amazing Home replacement! Very different approach than any of the others on the market.
I use Home++ now which i love< but i'm looking for something a little more original.

My issue is, Where is Sweeter Home? I cannot find it on the market.
Did it get taken down for some reason? Anyone else having this issue?

Also if you are using it let me know how you like it.
Thanks
 
It's not only for rooted phones. I've used it and it's pretty sweet, but there is currently no widget support in Preview 1. Hopefully he adds that when Preview 2 is released, because currently the customization options are endless. I've seen some awesome themes created for it.

It's possible that the dev took it out of the market in anticipation of releasing Preview 2. I hope this is the case, because it's really fun to play around with and has a ton of potential.

EDIT: Checked his website and it seems the next version, Preview 2, is coming out shortly, so that's probably the reason you can't find Preview 1 on the Market right now.

Just saw this went live, if people are interested...its a home replacement app, I installed it and its running very smooth so far, although none of the themes really seem Droid friendly, since we have a higher resolution. I'm hoping this will change, especially if people like it!

This is the only place to get it, its not in Market.

ok i installed this and it was horrible! how do you even do anything on it? maybe i'm just too dumb lol

It's a geek app. So many things that you can customize and change and all of those options are embedded in different layers of menus and what not. There's so much that you can change that'll probably numb your mind. But what SH really does is really give you the freedom to personalize your space even more than any home replacement has before. But yeah, it's a geek thing, built in a complicated mess like most PC/Linux geeks like it :)

I haven't personally used SH, but the developer was running it on a G1 (check the Youtube videos) and there didn't appear to be any lag. But then again, he wasn't loading up the screens with apps and widgets. To me, once people are using it to its near potential, I can see how it might bog down. That's why I'm going to wait and see what the response to the Beta 2 version is. Even Home++ which doesn't have that kind of customization can be laggy (for some) and it can't layer widgets like SH does. In one of the demos, the dev demonstrated how he could layer three widgets over each other. To me, that is a recipe for problems.

Yeah, I would hate to spend a ton of time tweaking it just to be forced to delete it when it looks near perfect but slows the phone to a crawl. It could be really fun to play with though.....I have the .apk downloaded, just gonna wait to install it.....
