LauncherPro 0.8.3

Looks like Fede is about to go neck and neck with ADW Ex in the eye-candy department. Installed and now I have BOTH smoothness/performance AND nifty screen transitions.

been a big fan of LPP

I agree. I'm addicted to lpp Widgets. They are a leaner, more well designed version of what sense should have been if HTC placed function over gaudiness.

Loving the cube transition. If you keep high quality imaging it looks very cool. On a side note, running cm7 with LPP I don't notice any performance decrease turning on all animations and what not. Still super smooth and fast.

really? I cant get the LPP Widget for People working, there is no LPP Widget for Weather
and no LPP Widget for Exchange Email ! DOH!

Launcher Pro slow for me
Maybe it's just my Aria, but LP seems much slower than ADW built into ROM.
Any ideas why?

Lpp refers to launcher pro plus. The awesomeness is only available in the paid or otherwise pirated full version. But due to just how great it is, I would pay for it so the dev can continue his hard work.

Definitely worth paying for. It was the first app I bought. Its far ahead of the standard adw. I also purchased adw ex, which is also worth the money. But if you had to choose just one to pay for I would def say Launcherpro plus.

Looks pretty good even in the free version, but just 3 home screens is not enough. If there is one thing to like about the Sense it is the 5 home screens. Is there any way get LP (or most other Android launchers for that matter) to go to 5 home screens?

The paid version allows up to 7 homescreens and 3 docks.

Press menu on homescreen click prefetences
Signatures are fancy.

Does the installation of Launcher Pro Plus remove ADW or can they coexist?
I saw a thread somewhere about using a switcher app to go between multiple launchers but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks

You can have both. Only one is active at a time though. There is an app on the market called home switcher that allows you choose a default launcher and still be able to change launchers on the fly without resetting defaults.

After using LPP, I realized I had no want to even use ADW anymore. I set LPP as my default and removed ADW from my phone with adb commands. I think it has improved the speed of LPP even more. Couldn't be happier.
Sent from my CM 6.1.1 Liberty using XDA App

is there a way to replace the launcher in CM7 before flashing? I decompress the zip and see ADWlauncher.apk...I assume I can rename the ADWlauncher EX apk and just swap it out and it will install ADW EX instead of the normal ADW, but how about LPP? Can I rename it to ADWlauncher.apk and re-compress the zip and it will install LPP as the default and only launcher?
thanks,
Mike

Yeah you can.
I'm not sure if the rename is required though, although I do it myself just to be on the safe side (too lazy to correct the file, transfer to phone again, flash again in case it doesn't work Lol)

thank you. I'm still debating between adw ex and LPP. the main think keeping me from launcher pro is the app drawer. two things I don't like about it are:
the background is black as opposed to the clear background of ADW, and the fact that in ADW I can have a horizontal drawer, and in LP, all you can have are vertical drawers

I think I read another post on this recently and someone tried to replace before flashing and had trouble. My best advice would be to flash CM7 as usual then install the launcher of your choice, set it as default, then use adb commands to uninstall the original launcher. This way works for sure.
Sent from my CM 6.1.1 Liberty using XDA app

When drag and dropping to replace the file in the .zip, just make sure you choose to "Store" instead of "Compress" in the Compression Mode chooser. I've never had problems by replacing files.

I always remove adw and replace it with launcher pro before flashing a rom. I do this with several apps. There is no need to rename anything unless you don't remove adw from your phone beforehand either manually with adb or with a full data wipe. If your just flashing over the top of your existing rom then the reason you want to rename the .apk is so it will replace the currently installed apk, otherwise you'll end up with both installed.
The reason I do this us because I use DT a2sd and I don't want my launcher on the sd card so I put it in /system/app before flashing.

[Q] Launchers

Can someone tell me what the best launcher is to use? And does anyone know if someone is working on making a Galaxy Tab launcher? Because that'd be amazing!

Honestly Launchers are like cars, what works for me may not work for you... Personally I use, and love, ADW EX. That being said people swear by Launcher Pro.

Zeam has been great for me.
Sent from my HTC EVO using XDA App

I rather enjoy ADW myself. But I've got Zeam and LauncherPro that I use from time to time just for a change of pace.

I seem to be having trouble with shortccuts (adding) on launcherpro an dean,
I just get a quick black screen and then i'm dumped bcack to my main screen.
I do not have a crash. I uses autonooter to root my book.
Is it just a bad root and i should do it again from scratch?
Or is this a launcher/book issue?
Thanks

Still trying to find the Launcher that allows a scrollable bottom dock bar, and/or the option to change the visual effects when swiping through home screens.
Anyone know which one I'm looking for

LauncherPro does both of these excellently. I highly recommend trying it.

I'm using awd ex, and I'm very happy with it. Recommend it for everyone. Prefer it over LP (used both alot)
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I personally prefer Zeam over ADW and launcher pro

ADW is the way to go. Always been happy with it...

I was using LauncherPro, then switched to ZEAM. However I recently revived an old OpenHome purchase for my old Behold 2. I dropped the Eris theme on to it and have not turned back. The bottom sliding drawer is a nice touch.

I hate the zeam app drawer. But it is the fastest one. I use adw ex
Nook Color via Xda App

I used to run Zeam, came pre-installed with one of the Auto-Nooter scripts or something, but recently switched to ADW. I use ADW EX on my Android phone and highly recommend like many otheres here (my girlfriend owns the Nook Color or would be running the EX version of it on the Nook too)
ADW EX ftw...

Hi, everyone. I'm just trying to find out what minimal launcher there is out there. So far, the best example of this is probably slide screen but I would like even more minimal. I'm just wondering if anybody here knows of a very simple one page launcher with no dock or widget support but does have an organizable drawer?
Thanks.

ROFL! Yes I guess that meets the requirements.

I would suggest zeam launcher to you. Fast (well so far I've found it to be faster than launcher pro), minimal, and functional.

Or u can try launcher 7. It replicates windows mobile 7 interface
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

What launchers have you already tried?
EDIT: It looks like Dxtop might suit your needs. If not you could try using a launcher you like in combination with apps organizer to organize your apps.
I was going to post links but it looks like a need 8 posts to do that.

---

You could give the MIUI rom a shot if you can't find a launcher you like.
P.S. Did you see the edit in my last post?

---

Not being able to flash a new rom is a somewhat sad situation.
You could try using desktop visualizer to do some tweaking to your homescreen.

---

Yeah, that's what it is. If you find a launcher you like you could maybe use desktop visualizer and apps organizer to customize your screens to something you find sufficiently minimal... Just a thought.

Sweeter Home?
Still in beta and if I'm honest can be annoying to change to but you can have as much or as little as you like?

Try MyLauncer.
It's in the market.

I've seen V Launcher on the market. No widgets, just organize icons on your homescreen, kind of like iOs, I guess. I've never tried it since I love widgets & customization, but it looks like what you're looking for.

Any ICS launcher with folders in app drawer?

The only one I could find is go launcher but its laggy on ICS rocket rom 1.5? Any suggestions?.... Thanks... Envy
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

Go to the market and give Go Launcher Ex a try. Best Launcher out there IMO and it is free.
Folders in App drawer, on home screens and in quick launch area as well.
Claude H.

Have you found any other launchers that can do this except go launcher ex? To bad you cant hide the drawer when using it on tablets.

Try SSLauncher, folders were just added, they're called parcels.

Not compatible with my transformer prime according to google play. Tried it on my galaxy 2 but like go launcher ex better on the phone. no other alternatives for tablets?

[Q] Which Launcher support widgets resize?

Dear all,
Iam looking for a launcher for my Note which support widgets resize, since I have many widgets are 4x1 only?
I know that the best launchers are ADW, LauncherPro and Go Launcher EX, so which one does that ? and which one is better?

Go launcher ex is working fine for me
But really you better install them all and see what works the best for your needs

Iam trying Go Launcher now
still have a problem with 1 widget for prayer time pro, still does not fill the screen, other widgets are ok, looks like it is from the app it self
iam using Official stock rom with root and franco kernel #9

Go Launcher EX, right ?
not all widget support resize for sure
i am using "My Prayer" and its widget won't resize also

Well, I am new owner of SG Note. Before, I had SGS and used ADW Launcher Ex. But on NOTE, i have some lags when I use ADW Launcher EX (2 screen with widgets). Could You recommend me some "not-lagging" launcher (except TW - this doesn't have laggs)?

did not like Go Launcher EX because Iam missing the Galaxy Note default launcher widgets such as Month and Task which I need them, will try something else

I use Apex Launcher on ICS & it changes the size of Widgets.

ssLauncher manages most of the stock resizable widgets.
