Your thoughts on dxTop! Droid owners!

[CookieMomster]

i have heard of problems if you don't remove widgets off the default home screen before using dx (or any other home manager). i don't know how valid that is, as i haven't experienced the problems you are, but might be worth a try. are your other home managers still installed? maybe try removing them temporarily if they are so dx is the only one you have? even if you're not using them, perhaps they're running some services in the background? just throwing ideas out there - not really sure why you're having that problem, sorry.

i did have issues with the unlock screen freezing, but nothing since changing that back to the droid default instead of the dx iphone style.

outside of that small glitch, dx has been flawless for me. at times, it feels faster than the default home.

Thanks for this advice. I have tried all the home apps without removing widgets first and had problems. Yesterday I moved back to the default and uninstalled Panda which was the one I found to be most stable. Now I will try them again without the widgets first. Thanks for the advice.

Well, just removed widgets and redownloaded. Got my first force close in trying to open it.

LOL. Second force close within ten minutes trying to go back to home screen. Locked up phone for two minutes. Uninstall

The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.

Sorry can't figure out why.

Wouldn't disabling persistent mode mean that dx top has to load everytime we'd go back to the home screen?

Based on the software faqs it helps if you have a laggy experience.

It worked for me.

How do you get the switch widgets for wi-fi, silent, bluetooth, etc.?

I got mine from the Beautiful Widgets package in the market.

I have successfully used jpg's.

Do they still have the transparent background? I didn't think jpg supported any layers ... let alone alpha layers.

They are part of the Beautiful Home app.

Screenshot of Apps Organizer

also attached is my home screen with all my folders and custom icons

Hey Chef...what Icon pack gives you the wallet for shopping that you used here?

Hey Chef...what Icon pack gives you the wallet for shopping that you used here?

that's one of the default icons in Apps Organizer - though I'd like to use a few of these for the dxTop Folders, which I think i'm going to be switching to (dxTop seems to be able to do everything Apps Organizer can, so I might as well only have one installed)

so i'm going to try to extract them from Apps Organizer if I can. if i'm able to i'll post a link to them here!

I have this on my droid now but it seems to default back the original
Can someone please point me where to set up more than one desktop like this one?

 

[gwlaw99]

I use an app called "Home Switcher" Which allows you to set which program you want as your default.

 

[malklavious]

quick dxTop question:

I use regular folders on my home screens to organize apps and shortcuts. Is there a way to have them sort by icon Name?

Thanks GWlaw99 great app too
