What do your X Screens look like?

I had issues using it at first after the Froyo update. There was a webpage I found via googling that had steps that fixed it for me. Was about "abd" more than Dalvik. As I recall, toggling the USB debugging is what fixed it for me. I think you need to do that as the device is plugged in to your computer. Once I put it as "USB storage," it worked I think. PC Mode didn't for some reason. Windows Media Sync might have, I don't recall. I've tried to find the same site, but can't seem to. Good luck! Let us know what works so I also have it on record what the issue was. ;)

Oh, I also reinstalled the latest drivers for my Vcast software, phone etc. Not sure if that did anything or not though as I think I was already up-to-date, but it worked after doing that. The USB debugging toggle is really what did it for me.

I toggled the USB Debugging several times while plugged into the PC and have it on Mass Storage as well. My wife was getting annoyed with the contsant "DROID" sound! :p

I will look for the site and see if it helps and will update this post.

EDIT: Saw only one post mentioning adb, but that was for rooted users. I will uninstall SDK tools and the Java files and do it all over again from scratch. I hope this fixes it.

Those are the LauncherPro plus widgets. I use the same ones, but on my screenshots it is the friends widget which is Facebook and Twitter combined, and my LauncherPro is themed.
I'll admit I'm a battery whore. I'll do almost anything to get my phone to last as long as I can haha. Does Launcher Pro eat up any more battery than normal? Is it worth the price?

I'm running the free version, and I was a little surprised to see that LP was 3rd on my Battery Manager list with 11% the last time my battery was low. It has me wondering if there's something that uses less battery as well, though I really like LP.

(Another question I have is -- does deodexing and/or removing bloatware help preserve battery life at all? I suppose that's a topic for another thread.)

On a typical day LP uses 3-4% of my battery. I have removed a lot of bloatware and if you aren't using it, then I think you should remove it and it helps battery for all.of the bloat widgets and stuff.

I have the plus version, and on a side note, Fede is currently rewriting all of the code from scratch to make it more efficient and easily customizable. Currently all of the code is written ontop of the stock launcher code. I think that will help even more with battery use. look at my appbrain, I have bought a lot of apps and LP plus is easily one of the best apps I have bought.

Galaxy theme from Rom manager and LPP widgets. Beautiful Widgets clock with galaxy blue clock skin and emotisun weather skin. Lock skin is iBlue slider with wallpaper set as background and the battery skin on the lockscreen is iBlue as well.

lol... I should note that I'm not a fan of the Galaxy line of phones, I just like the blue look.

love the iblue where is it? cant find it in the market
