Yes, I rather even use Launcher2 over ADW garbage.

The main reasons I like ADW are the fact that it can display in landscape, and the fact that the dockbar gives me access to more programs in faster time than does Launcher Pro.

Launcher Pro definitely does look nicer though. I just like having quicker access to my most commonly used programs without having to scroll.

Can I just say that with Froyo, my battery life is SO MUCH BETTER. DAMN.

WOOT!

Post root, post rooted Froyo update! This phone just NEVER slows down, now! I don't even have to use a task manager, despite installing about 30 apps in an hour.

New home screen for my Evo. Using tajm with ADW launcher.

I actually love that clock widget. Where'd you get it/how'd you do it?

Edit: Oh, wait. "tajm w/ ADW launcher." Huh.

What is "tajm"? I'm so confused/impressed by all these home screens.

Yep. You have to turn "tint" on to get the icons to block out like that, though.

The home screens originate from custom launchers you can download. These do not require the phone to be rooted or anything of the sort, but they WILL replace your HTC Sense homescreen, so you will have to reorganize all your icons. Download one from the market, then when you press the home button, the phone will ask you which launcher you want to use after installing one of them (like ADW, launcher pro, etc). Every time you press the home button, it will again ask you which launcher you'd like to use, so if you want to go back to HTC Sense, you can, unless you check the "default" option, in which case that's the launcher your phone will use for the home key unless you change it.

The nice thing about custom launchers is obviously they provide a different look and feel to the phone, and I think look WAY less crowded and unnecessary, compared to Sense. And it can be a lot of fun to pick out a background and then move the icons around until you find a system that allows you to rapidly access all of the programs you use.

New background/theme for my phone:







And the landscape view, which looks much better IMO.
