Which one seems to be the most compatible with GB:
Launcher Pro?
Go Launcher EX?
ADW Launcher EX?
I just updated to GB, and would like to use whatever launcher works best with GB.
What is the script and where can it be found. First I've heard of this.I much prefer ADW EX, however it had been having tons of redraws not only on GB but also on froyo. On GB pretty much all the launchers had a redraw issue. There is a script to fix this, and after applying the fix now the launchers do not redraw or lag.
..however i keep coming back to Go launcher simply because of the app drawer. i absolutely LOVE the folders. even the Blur app launcher doesn't compare to the Go launcher drawer.
How do you add items to the Go Launcher Widget Folders?
Do you have to uninstall GO to get back to the stock version? Is there another way?

Personally, I like the GB launcher itself.
Thanks for this. I was getting some redraws. I made the change and will see how it goes.Turdbogls gets credit for posting this in a thread I started last week. Here is what he posted there:
redraws are usually NOT launcher specific. if it happens to one launcher, it will happen to the others as well.
there is a fix tho. did this a while ago and haven't had a redraw since.
using root explorer navigate to system
mount r/o
longpress on build.prop
open in text editor
scroll all the way to the bottom
enter the following text:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
press the hard back key and save the document
mount system again
reboot.
basically what is happening is the launcher is an app, and it gets kicked out of memory when memory gets low (hence why it happens to all launchers)...this is b/c the launcher is at priority 6, which is pretty low. the above hack puts the priority at 1, so it is the last thing to get kicked out of memory by the built in memory manager.
did this when i was on apex 2.0 (based on GB 591) when i was getting horrible lag coming out of pretty much ANY app. did the above hack, and haven't had a redraw in since then....so maybe 4 weeks or so. so amazing. even after using a heavy app like Plants vs zombies (thanks amazon appstore) it snapped right back to the launcher.

With Go Launcher can you customize your dock? Right now, I'm using LP+, but I'm always curious about other launchers just to see what's out there...
Thanks.
