Hey. New board.

I've not used LauncherPro, but I really liked ADW.Launcher. It's extraordinarily configurable. I like the built-in MIUI launcher a lot, so I'm using that right now. It's very pretty. But ADW was definitely more configurable.

Texting is data if you use Google Voice. I've saved $100+ in text plans since I moved to Google Voice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So far free Launcher Pro is pretty nice. Just about the only part of iOs that I miss are the folders. More space for widgets. I loves me some widgets.

Hey. New board.

Your normal launcher doesn't have folders? I thought pretty much every android launcher (including the built-in one) did. You can't just long-press on your normal home screen and choose to add a new folder?

Not on the G2, no.

Hey. New board.

Huh. Odd. Is it running vanilla android 2.3, or some particular T-Mobile flavor?

ETA: These FAQs seems to think you can add folders just by long-pressing. Not that I don't believe you, just that this was one of the features Android had ages before iOS that let the Android people make mostly ignored arguments as to its superiority, so it seems very weird a major phone like the G2 would drop it.

Sorry--I got my devices crossed. You can't on the 10.1 Tab. You can on the G2.

OK. I think the menu is now better looking, and set up to be reasonably functional once any of the choices actually work. stcc.be

tiggy- OK. I don't know if/when I'll be ready to buy, so don't hang onto it on my account, but I'll check with you should the time come.
