Be forewarned that adding the gallery and music app will leave you with 2 of each app showing in your apps drawer. And the launcher app has a tendency to cause the Droid to freeze.

I like the launcher. I was to stupid to realize I had to reboot before it worked properly. I am pretty sure my battery will explode though.

Meh, I'll wait. Still not ready to risk it. Besides, VZW doesnt replace phones like they use to. :)

doesnt replace phones like they used to? How so? I work at VZW and things have not changed one bit in the last 2 1/2 years when it comes to replacing devices.

what do you mean risk it? all your doing is installing a new program...try installing the gallery, it's amazing.

yah this isn't a hack they are just programs. VZW may get pissy if you root though but i can't say for sure.

If you work at VZW then you know we no longer do multi-fru. So not replacing phones like they used to. Tho this guy has nothing to worry about b/c device could always be wiped.

The launcher is great. One problem though, the words cut off when i launch the drawer. You cant see the entire name of the app.

Theres a problem with the browser. It always launches google.com instead of the previous. I possibly might uninstall the launcher ;(.

Hey guys, do you have to have a rooted phone in order to install this launcher. If not, how do i go about installing it?
