I have a Motorola Defy, but I'm using a different, non-official ROM, that comes with Launcher Pro. My question is, if I can switch my dock to the Motoblur dock, since I really like it.
Thanks for your answers.
Can't be done. The dock is tied to the launcher app, therefore you must use Motorola's launcher app, not launcherpro.
Also please post in the suitable section next time. This is a subforum for themes

Thanks for the answer, and sorry for posting here..
If your using Launcher Pro you can just get a dock that looks like motoblur and apply it in the preferences.
I would check out HELauncher. When installed, press menu, and click customize. Navigate to Blur or Ninja (not sure which runs on the Defy) and press Apply. The motoblur style is from the newer versions, not like the Devour and Cliq.

Yeah but the problem is, that in Launcher Pro you can only use their own icon for the app drawer..
I'll try the HeLauncher, thanks
Edit: Nevermind, I succeeded doing that with Launcher Pro, I took the dock that lesa gave me (thanks lesa) and in the 2 right spots I put contacts applications with a 72x72 icon that I made, that is actually nothing, a png file so you cant even see it, same with the 2 left ones and the middle
Thanks!
...
Terranalon, please, write in few words how did you succeed with this dockbar in LauncherPro :good:

Im using firefly 2.0.4 and it came with launcher pro installed already. The thing is about 3 of the dock icons are different from the rest. Where can I find the regular dock icons that come with launcher pro and how do I install them?
great question i would like to know the same thing as im also on firefly
If you long press on the dock icon it will bringup a menu. You can select change icon and either launcher pro or custom from that point.

I tried that but the icons are not there.
So I have been looking for a launcher that I can have 4 dock icons, something similar to miui or the galaxy s. I have tried the adw miui hack and twlauncher port but both don't offer very much customization. And I don't think the adw miui hack has been updated for a while.
If any one can help me find something, it would be greatly appreciated.

You can use ADW without the dock (choose the no dock/extend homescreen option) and photoshop on the dock/icons. Then use transparent icons with desktop visualizer or through normal adw shortcuts, just be sure to remove the text.
You can still use the hidden dock - just make a shortcut or swipe gesture to reveal it.
If you don't have Photoshop, you can always use GIMP. It's a free alternative with many similar tools and options.
I'm not really sure of another way. I know that this is possible with ADW EX, but I'm not sure if you can only use the hidden dock with the free version.

That's a good idea. It's a shame that Launcher Pro doesn't allow 4 icons like the OP (and i), would like. Maybe one day...
Hell I wish I knew how to make a launcher lol.
You can also try vLauncher. It works a lot like the MIUI launcher.
you can try this, it is a paid app but i've been using it and it works pretty good, just like adw with 4 dock icons
adw.miui.launcher
Have you tried zeam?

I was using Launcher Pro almost a year and I really like it's dock bar but GO Launcher Ex is a way more powerful than LP.
I'd like to copy LP dock bar into GO Launcher Ex. Yes, I know, you can change dock and icons manually in the settings but it doesn't look the same as original. I even found all necessary images:

But as I said, that's not it. :/ Is there any theme or app for GO imitating LP dock bar? Or can you tell me how to extract original dock bar and icons from LauncherPro?
PS: I've noticed that you can assign one app only to one folder in app drawer in GO Launcher Ex, why? I was using FolderOrganizer on LP where you can assign labels (folders) to the app, so one app can be assigned to many folders. Is there any solution for that in GO drawer?

Launcher pro icons app, just download the ones you want, then in adw ex go to set custom dock, select it via gallery, quick pic or whatever, job done, same with icons, works perfect on mine, adw ex rocks

You don't have to quote my message if you're replaying just under my post.
I'm not using ADW Luncher... Well, I think you didn't read my post at all? By the way I already said in previous post that I downloaded all icons and set them manually in dock but I'm not happy with results.
Thanks, but you didn't help me.
I was just suggesting adw as it is more powerful than lp, and I always quote as someone may reply while I am writing! My apologies for trying to help name noted, I won't try in future due to your terse answer, all the best

Oh, don't be angry on me! I prefer GO Launcher Ex, I used to have ADW for some time but I went back to LP. Now is time for GO. The GO team makes pretty good apps and have great support.
Hymm, I think that I just must get used to new dock design.
Ok ok, peace dude

I run MIUI and am sick of the launcher (app drawer, etc.) I like GoLauncher with its widgets and such. There are a few things I want changed though, and I would like to know if it has been done.
First, I like how the icons in MIUI are really large, in GO, they are very small. Can they be changed in GO?
Secondly, I like how the text under the icons in MIUI do not have the black background. Is this possible in GO?

I didn't know they had one. I will take a look.
Launcher Pro is the only launcher I think that can remove the icon label backgrounds.
One of the reasons I love it. I do wish it had bigger icons and maybe a 4 icon dock.

I like GoLauncher better because of home swipe actions,the ease of changing icons on both homescreen n dock and overall smoothness...
This is why I use ADW EX.. you can customize everything to do with the icons.. Size, background of icon, text color, size, fully customize the dock, instantaneous drawer (I find go launcher drawer to always have SOME lag), tons of themes, same swipe gesture options and screen animations.. The only thing you lose is the widgets and there are other market Apps that take care of that.

Same here.. LPP and GO are great, but ADW customization go further (no dock is a sweet feature too)... but ADW is not as smooth as the two others, I mean that when you want to edit stuff (widget size, placing shortcut elsewhere, etc) it feels weird, not as responsive, I don't like it but it's the only negative point so I live fine with it.. pros and cons..
In go launcher i use desktop visualizer to get some real big icons, miui style. It gives me even the option to open shortucs to folder organizer.

I just downloaded Desktop Visualizer and I did not find the option in there for icon size. How are you doing it?
Long press the icon from dvisualizer that you just added to your home screen and choose resize.
Dvisualizer is a widget, you can resize it just like any other widget.

Is anyone else having issues with the quick contacts widget in alternate launchers? My other stock blur widgets work in Go Launcher except this one. Running Theory's ROM 1.2 if that makes a difference.
Doesn't work for me either in Go Launcher.
I was wondering the same thing. I swear I saw a post stating that the moto blur widgets worked with alternate launchers, but I cant get this widget to work with ADW, LPP or GO launcher.
I like that widget a lot.
Bump... has anyone had any success with getting this to work properly? I actually liked the stock contacts app for the short time I was running the stock launcher.
It would seem it adds the widget, but it's invisible and doesn't function... I am able to long press and delete it with go launcher.
Still no dice in Go Launcher. On the other hand, I have been using this lately and am really liking it.

It actually automatically fills up with contacts based on how recently/frequently you interact with them, pretty nice if you ask me.
Its a blur app and u need the blurred launcher.

That is not true. Other blur widgets work outside of the blur launcher. Also, this widget shows in the list of available widgets from other launchers but when you add it (in my exerience on Go Launcher) it adds an empty space to your screen that you can't say unless you try to put another widget down as it will say the spot is occupied already. You can delete the empty spot though.
Any update on this issue or do those who use alternate launchers just out of luck with this widget?
+1 you need a blur launcher its built into /system/apps it like having a razor blur camera and downloading it and won't work correctly at least from what I have read over the months on alt launcher you pick the widget and it won't even be visable
