Is there an easy way to uninstall or just disable the Dell Stage UI? It BLOWS. I have an AT&T Unlocked Streak w/QDLTool Froyo 2.2. I like the basic OS, but this Stage thing is terrible. I tried looking through different threads, and the only thing I have seen so far is to flash something else.
It seems as though Dell Stage is an app, as I found it in the system file under apps.
Thanks
Download another launcher
Launcherpro
Go launcher
Zeam
Ads launcher

After installing other launcher, next time you press home button it will ask which app to launch, select the launcher you would like, make sure you select the check box for default selection. You might need to do this for some other actions too, but once done the launcher will get executed from next time.
I have tried 3 or 4 other but din't find any better. Slidescreen looks good but not enough to replace.
Go with ADW Launcher EX. They just came out with the EX Edition. Its Really Really Nice. Then, download Home Switcher from the Market. Either way, once you set the different launcher as your default launcher, it will launch that one everytime.
Note: Be sure to delete everything off the Stage UI so theres no widgets or any icons on the screens. Then just keep all of the stuff added on our other launchers screen.
If you are rooted, you can use another launcher and delete Stage with Ti Backup. I used the "freeze" feature to make sure it was okay and it was fine for me.

Yeah, im using ADW EX make sure you have another launcher set as the default and you you can delete stage with no problems. Im on 2.2 318 with Perf fix. But, back it up and freeze it first just to make sure.

I think it's just personal preference. I prefer launcher pro plus. They are both good alternative launcher. Try them both then decide for yourself. You can use the free versions to get an idea.

If you do this, can you go back to AWD? I have never tried Launcher and thought that I would give it a try....

ADW and LauncherPro (which I think is the best launcher) are both available in the market for free.
Oh, and just in case you didn't know, Launcher2 is the default Froyo launcher. Its what the Nexus One uses. You can make LauncherPro look just like it if you want and its WAY faster than Launcher2.

If you are using Ti Backup, you can just Freeze ADW and use Launcher Pro. Then you don't lose it.
No need to freeze. Just install LauncherPro and when you hit the Home button, it will ask you which Launcher you wanna use.

Thanks for the advice. I am currently running the LauncherPro and like it. It is pretty nice. My phone is acting a little funny and has been all day. I updated from kaos v30 to v32 this morning. v30 was my first mod (coming from the ota 2.1).
ADW kept on failing.... so now on the LP and it seems more stable. It has failed twice and I had to restart.... I am not sure what is causing this, I hope that it settles down soon.

just like it? i like the look of adw a bit more, but i cant get LP to look just like it. similar, but not even close.
Just got the 02 update for 2.2.
Hate all the streak widgets so thought i'll just close them all and put on the regular widgets....
Only to find that they auto align to centre of screen and when I change page half the widget sticks into the page.
WTF? How do I change this?

u have launcher pro as well....either ways u cant go wrong...
Since I've never heard of these launchers where can I get them from? What does it require? Root? Custom FW? etc,
nope... they are all available in the market
adw.launcher is free and probably the most common shell used.

Also try looking at LauncherPro in the market. The paid version has some nice widgets and with it you can change the grid spacing on the homescreen if you want. I prefer LauncherPro.
Hey guys, I found a nasty little bug that has made my epic unusable. Basically if you have all your home screen pages filled up and decide to create a shortcut of an app (in this case it was dolphin browser) from inside the app, Touch Wiz will crash no matter how many time you reboot the phone. All other programs work just fine, however touchwiz will without fail crash. I am trying to find a way around this without reflashing but it looks like that is my only option. Be warned everyone EB13 is not ready for prime time.
Edit: Found a quick work around, just install launcher pro from the market and hit the home button and switch your launcher to launcher pro. Now can anyone tell me how to switch back?
So why not use something other than tw? Why would you load up that many icons on 7 pages? Home Switcher from market...

Yes you can add screens to launcherpro by hitting (from launcherpro) menu>preferences>homescreen settngs. To fix touchwiz, hit menu>settings>applications>all, scroll down to TWlauncher cick it, and clear everything.

Sounds like a bug in Touchwiz, not Froyo.
Thank you XDA for helping me through what was pretty much me over reacting.
I would really urge you to play around with Launcher Pro for a while. Try the different settings and see what they all do. I can't imagine using Touchwiz now. I love the way launcherpro both looks and works.

Try hitting menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all.
Find twlauncher and clear data and cache. It will likely blow out anything you had on you screens but may allow you to use it again if that's what you are looking for.

TW is for folk who want their phone to feel more iOSish, and if that's what they want, meh. More power to 'em.
I used LP for a long time, but am giving Go Launcher a whirl these days. I kinda like it even more, but...
Ugh, Launcherpro has THE BEST agenda widget on Android. No free widget I've tried even comes close. Really frustrating.

Meh - LP is pretty good but I suspect most people don't use most of the options, making it kind-of big. I haven't found a better option though. It's pretty darn good.
I use LauncherPro, and I have long since deleted both TouchWiz an the stock launcher from the /system/apps/ folder. It frees up a bit of space.

what do you guys think is the best home app? please tell me what you use and what you like from them
Wrong section, this belongs in Themes & Apps.
There are already too many threads on this, please use search next time.
So far the 2 favorites seem to be ADW and Launcher Pro, each has their pros and cons.
ah ok... sorry those are the ones im debating over...
I prefer Launcher Pro for it's speed and new widget skinning, but ADW is nice for dock customization and theming.
Depends on the person, really.
well i am using launcherpro right now not paid version and the only things that i would think of updating for would be resizing and the launcherpro widgets... but i looked at them right now and i dont think i will ever use any of those widgets
I use LP Sense UI.
Heavily modified LauncherPro Plus mod that looks and acts identical to Sense.

I've been using Zeam Launcher the past few days and am VERY pleased with it.
I just recently started using launcher 7. It's fast, stable and handles live wallpapers like a dream. Widgets even work. It's like a more customizable and functional wp7 ui. Ms should be made this is out lol the devs pooped on they're version.

Been using GO launcer recently really like it even tho I have launcher pro paid
Used to love Launcher Pro until I tried Go Launcher.
My vote goes for Go Launcher w/ Folder Organizer.
I have paid LP, Adw EX and tried SPB, Regina and Zeam. I really like ADW EX and it seems to use less memory compared to LP. My phone doesnt like Zeam at all, its a memory hog on my Epic. SPB was disappointing, it doesnt do anything better then adw or lp; same thing with Regina. Overall my favorite at the moment is Launcher Pro (paid), it seems slightly smoother animaton wise compared to adw.
GO launcher EX is my new choice because you can customize the home screens on the fly. You can add or delete screens and change the order easily. You cannot do this in Launcher pro. Go also has tabs in the app drawer which includes a task killer. IMHO it combines all the best features from both.
I liked the go launcher until it kept resetting my screens, and always setting them back up pissed me off...
Been on zeam for a while now, liking it a lot, no issues thus far
Edit: that was on my old epic though, perhaps my new one will play nicer
+1 on GO Launcher EX
Smoothest launcher, very customizeable and free.

I had some similar issues with Go Launcher EX, but they updated it several weeks ago and it's been rock solid since.
I've got to give a huge +1 to Go Launcher for one reason - the app drawer customization. Has extra "tabs" for recent apps and running tasks, but most importantly it has the ability to create your own folders for organization. I've got folders for media apps (gallery, movie players, music players, etc), games, finance, and system tools. So much easier to find things and lets me keep my home screens clutter free.
LauncherPro, because their widgets are hard to beat. The facebook widget is better than anything else I could find, and now that they added custom skinning they are even better.
First let me say I'm not rooted. With that out of the way, are there any home launchers that are optimized for this tegra 2 phone? I've used ADW, Launcher pro, and Go Launcher and all 3 of them ran slightly slower than just using the stock launcher.

GO Launcher EX ran fast on my non-rooted Atrix. There are a lot of settings for GO Launcher and I just set all the transitions to the fastest settings and it ran fine. I didn't notice any lag at all. I'm rooted now and I'm still using GO Launcher EX.
In fact I'm using all their add-ons for SMS, Dialer, Weather, Score, etc and they all run pretty fast on the Atrix.

When you installed the launcher, did you remove all the widgets you had on the stock launcher? If you didn't, they'll still be there running even when you use a new launcher. Remove everything then add the new launcher and set it up the way you like. Should be a lot smoother.
Also, have you tried Zeam? It's fairly minimal but quick.
