Home ++

SSHGuru

I just downloaded a new application called Home++ and it's a replacement home screen like Panda and Open Home.

It's free and in beta - and it kicks **bleep**. Better than the paid apps.

It's smooth - has a great flip clock - 4 screens and tons of useful options.

It's the first one that I have replaced my home screen with. Terrific.

I agree with you. I've been using it for about a week now. There is an update for it available today that smooth's some of the edges. I would recommend this to anyone; even it it's not free.

Any issues so far?? What were all those things it wants you to agree to before installing it??

I saw some comments that it had problems on the Droid. Also ran slow or slowed the phone? What phones is it running on? I worry about a beta for such an important app as replacing the home screens.

SSHGuru

It seems as fast and as smooth with no slowdown at all.

It did cause some issues when I woke up this morning but a reboot cured it. Nothing serious.

I use the Droid and it works perfectly.

I've used the others and this one seems by far the best and best thought out of the bunch.

I've been using it a few days without any problems and today my volume on my ringer went way down and stuff stopped responding.

I did a battery pull and everything else - even putting in the dock wouldnt get the dock started. I may have been running too many applications.

I fixed it by using advanced task killer and killing all the tasks... now it runs like a dream again.

So much for those who think task killers are not necessary.

By the way after the best 200 applications list came out last night I downloaded about 10-15 new ones. May have overdone it who knows.

Is there any way to use the icons from an Open Home theme? I downloaded a theme for Open Home and really like the icons (GO Gators!), but the Home++ icons are the same as the default home. How does that work anyway?

It may have to do with the upgrade today. I had my first issue as well. It just closed and went back to the old home. I restarted and it has been fine since.it is still in beta.

SSHGuru

I just went back to the old home and then went back to Home ++. It's so much better than the regular home I can't live without it.

I do have a ton of widgets running which may be affecting my speed. I put the flip clock on all four screens along with a ton of other widgets.

SSHGuru

I hadn't noticed they had 4 wallpapers until now and I picked the ones with the bright lines. It's not bad - they need to add some more. I'm using it now.
