[Q] Launcher Pro Widgets in TouchWiz

Does anyone know of a way to port LP widgets to TouchWiz? I like LP but it has some issues, here and there, that I don't like. However, when I saw how cool the Facebook and other widgets were I decided to buy the full version. I really like to be able to use TouchWiz with these widgets.

Not possible (as of yet?) since it's tied to the launcher.

The widgets are the main selling point for LauncherPro Plus. It may be me, but it seems like Federico wouldn't enjoy knowing about someone modifying his source code to move his widgets to another launcher.

Perhaps, but I bought the pro/donate version, so I should be able to do with it what I want.

haha how do you figure? Because I by 1 stock in Apple does that mean I can choose their next product? You bought the pro version for more options, or to possibly support the dev to continue working on his product. That does not give you the right to take it apart and use his widgets the way you want.

He's not using special, proprietary methods to code this stuff.
Anyway, I digress...thanks for the help guys.

Then code it yourself bud. Otherwise enjoy paying for his services.

Looks like there are many features from LP that can be used in TWLauncher, including Activities, Wallpaper, etc. Gonna email dev and talk to him about this - I'm betting he's game. I'll keep yal posted.

Then would anyone know similar widgets to the LP ones? kinda like beautiful widgets / fancy widgets for the HTC ones???

Whole reason why you use Launcher Pro isn't just the widgets.
But... with that being said - I bet if you email him he could put an options to disable the launcher and still allow you to use widgets.

[Q] htc sense and launcherpro?

So today i decided to go over and look at the evo and shift forums. I saw there there were ROMs with launcherpro or any launcher, with a themed notification bar, with SENSE apps and widgets. Now me being a longtime cdma hero user, I don't recall us having that ability. So i guess I'm wondering if it is just that our phones don't have that capability? Or am I stupid and we do have a ROM like that?
BTW, i feel like im asking a real stupid question please don't flame.

Launcherpro Plus.

They are not sense, they just LOOK like the sense widgets. There are many replacements for the sense widgets, like those with launcher pro plus and beautiful widgets. I used to be a fan of sense, but being on gingerbread now, I have found replacements (BW, ADW EX and Pure grid calendar widget) and now I don't miss sense at all!

Gingerbread Theme or ROM (But Froyo)?

Is there a Gingerbread theme or even a froyo ROM with just Gingerbread theme on it? I just want the plain Sesneless look of Gingerbread right now? If not someone should definitely make one. I was going to make a theme port but I wasn't sure it the lack of sense stuff would mess with the phone.

ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro with a Gingerbread theme. That'd be the easiest way and it's all available from the market.

Do any launchers support widgets yet? I've used ADW and 2.3 launcher and neither do.

Pretty much all launchers support widgets... did you mean to say the HTC widgets? If so, only stock launcher will work with those... but there are plenty of widgets that are similar or better than the HTC ones.
(Launcher Pro Plus includes many of them that look almost exactly like the HTC ones.)

believe me, if you're looking for support for HTC widgets in any launcher than the stock sense launcher (rosie.apk), you're not going to find anything. People have been trying since sense's debut (i spent a pretty good chunk of three months trying) and it's just too tightly wound into Rosie. I think most have given up on it at this point. I would go with ADW launcher (free in the market) and beautiful widgets or fancy widget (beautiful widgets is better imo, but fancy widget is free). I know beautiful widgets even has unlock animations now that work pretty well and aren't very intrusive. I'd give that a shot if you want a stock look with an app dock, with a small amount of sense.

Third party launchers and/or TouchWiz

I've been a LauncherPro user for many years now, and as such I've stuck with it on my Note. However, due to the "laggy" app-drawer opening animation, I've had to disable that completely (so that the drawer opens immediately).
I believe that pretty much ALL third-party launchers suffer from stuttering in some way or another. Does anyone actually know WHY this is the case on the Note? Its not ROM specific.
The alternative is to just use TouchWiz, which I am 100% keen on doing, except for ONE little problem. 90% of Android widgets are 4 columns wide, and there is no way to resize widgets with TouchWiz.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions? I get the feeling that most people stick with TouchWiz, so I'd love to know what you do about the 4 column limitation.

No problem
I have tried most of the available launchers. The one i am most happy with at the moment is spb shell 3d, its not cheap. But when in tablet mode, looks great on the note. The widgets really make use of the screen resolution.
The only issue is there is no ability to alter the row/column count. Which in tablet mode has a count of 8. Which is a little high for the screen size of the note.
I have emailed the Developers of spb shell 3d and they have told me a update will be available soon.
Just my opinion

Thanks. I wish there was a way to test SPB before buying.
Are you able to resize widgets with SPB?

Yeah, you can resize all the widgets. It is a shame there is no trial

I use go launcher as well and I experienced some lag in transition effect and opening app drawer..
what ROM/kernel are you using? or maybe it's because I use too many widgets?

There is, but not one that I could ever recommend
I admit I tried it and found it very wanting. I only did it for the trial, because the cost was so high. I am glad I did, as I found it very wanting on my device. Others seem faster to me.
I use ssLancher. It has a very different approach, and everything is customisable. I also use a separate app launcher and Folder Organiser, leaving me 'free' from the app organisation that most launchers pin on you. That allows me to play with more with less effort.

go launcher is good because you can use ICS theme.
But this stupid launcher removes ICS animation ! (returns Gingerbread stock)
I hope new update (4.0) will bring for us more then just a nice shell.

No matter what Kernel/ROM I use, every single launcher lags noticeably. I never had this problem with my previous phones (Atrix, Defy+, SGS2). And yes, I'm and advanced user so I know how to optimize the OS.
I just stuck to ADW EX, selecting the Fast interface and setting drawing cache to low quality. It lags but it's way less than Launcher Pro, GO and SS Launcher.
Hope this gets fixed on ICS.

ADW Launcher EX rly nice low on memory and alot of customizations possibilities.

Mmhhnnnnnn

I agree, I tried lots of launchers and IMO ADW EX is the best one!
It should be amazing one day to get anything equal to the Sense interface as Launcher (NO SPB Shell is not as good as Sense), don't you think so? I love it on HTC
Sent from my Galaxy Note with DarkyROM 3.3

I used to use Launcher Pro back in the day, but TBH, I consider it to be dead now; the developer hasn't made any changes to ver 0.8.6 for almost a year now... I think it's abandoned.
I use ADW EX, and it's pretty decent!

when I bought my SGS i9000 i didn't know much about android, now I now a little, I love my SGS but Samsung leaves that phone a little, if you want touchwiz you must install an .apk -.-' there won't be official ICS for that phone, and i'm a bit bored about SGS Ginger.... and I'd like test Sense, cuz I'm thinking buy a HTC phone

Looking in the development section might be a good place to start.........

If you're a bit bored of you launcher i'd get a custom launcher off the market like Go Launcher EX (free and offers pretty much everything), or Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher - which come in free and paid varieties and also offer the same thing.
Go launcher has some fantastic in built widgets, plus a whole host of useful features like a built in task killer, multiple docks, changeable icons loads of transition animations. All for free. Sense really has nothing on that and its more of a battery hog, plus it'd be a lot harder to use, what with sense being for HTCs and so there isnt much call on it for SGS

Okay well that's fair enough, good luck with finding a good sense ROM, i realy dont know of any to suggest,

I'm not sure if the SGS even has any Sense ROMs, but from what I understand, it's no easy task to port Sense onto a non-HTC device
