Help Launcher Pro

If ADW Ex (I picked it up during google 10cent sale) had the app folders that blur had I would switch; then again (per an earlier comment somewhere) if blur allowed more flexibility with the dock i wouldn't be tempted to switch :) - sort of like phones - a bunch of options - all with good ideas but none of them perfect :(
Give ADW a try first to see if u like it.
ADW EX is the paid version. Its sweet.
Really easy to customize with...
Just to add that Motorola widgets do appear to work
with ADW EX I have only tried tasks and sticky notes

I got the dock from custom launcher icons.....
Only thing imo u really need to root your phone
for imo is to overclock and maybe freeze some app. free tether and the like.
But there is soooooo much flexibility with add on apps its unbelieveable.
Thats why Blur doesnt really bother me so much.....
I just wanted a niiiiiice screen. It was a hard choice but moto won out

I used to use LPP on my previous phones, but somehow it feels a bit oldish now. I started using Go Ex and I love it on my Razr. On my GTab 10.1 I use ADW EX.

Lol thats why I got ADW EX for my GTab 10.1 so I figured what the heck on my phone and it worked out.
Gonna give Go Ex a look see........
Thats why I like Android u can change your stuff up. I think an iphone would drive me crazy cause you're stuck with what you got.

Do any of the add on launcher support the group app feature of blur (i.e, where you can assign apps to groups - or hide them) ?

Hum. I wonder what happens when we have icecream; maybe then the add on launcher won't need to support that feature since it will be native ?

On Go Ex, long press the home screen the select 'folder', it will allow you to group apps.

Based on the brief time that I had a Nexus, I'd say that an add on launcher may not be necessary. The stock launcher is very nice.
Edit: Of course there will still be MotoBlur on the phones, so that may get in the way...

I saw the folder option for Go Ex; but that is slightly different. Blur also supports folders. However (as far as I could tell) Go Ex's folders did not allow grouping of apps (as seen in the app list). I suppose this might be minor but where this is nice is if you want to manage your apps and you sep them into groups as you add them to the device.

Btw some of the bar code readers are pretty nifty :)
