Hi all just wondering for those using launcher pro does launcher pro freeze when you first start up your phone
The launcher is fine once you perform a force close so it is not too annoying
Still it would be good if I can change the situation
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
that happened for me too, on CM7 RC2, it had to force close to be responsive again... right now i'm on CM7 RC4 and that never happened again, also try to check if you are on the last version of launcherpro 0.8.4.1... because maybe the lastest updates of launcherpro fixes that weirdness.
I have the same problem with launcher pro (paid version too) on cm7 rc4 so no thats not the solution lol
Yeah I'm on the latest nscollab which is just cm7 rc4 and the newest version of launcher pro
Thanks for the suggestion though

I have the same problem, but I wanted to change the ROM...
I had the same issue with the stock rom. It appears to be LP related.

I have the same thing. Launcher pro freezing every time when finalizing boot getting force closes. Paid version too. Thanks

This has happened with every single ROM I've ever used - also with my Hero - def LP bug.

Good to know that it is a common problem I guess all I CB do is wait for an update

Always had this problem, with my Nexus One, Desire HD and now Nexus S. On booting, LP freezes with a black screen for about 30s or so.
I've just given up with it and switched to Zeam, cos I was getting pretty tired of it.
The defect,occurs when certain apps are installed on SD.
Resolved to move app to the internal memory.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
I have all my apps on internal, but the problem still happens.
Use Zeam launcher its faster than any other launcher i've used so far
This issue is what made me switch to ADW. It really began to get frustrating.
I have this problem also . . . doesn't happen all the time though. Recently it stopped backing up settings to the SD card also
I have been having this problem as well. After a reboot ( due to cm7 being unstable ) I have a black screen and you would think the phone was crashed if not for BLD buttons working on the bottom and the volume rocker making sounds when pressed, after about 3 mins desktop and bar show up.
Its been getting worse and worse. I have never used any launcher but LPP but I switched to ADW as its getting really bad, I just switched back as I can't stand adw but I think I either have to find a new launch, get used to adw, or something as LPP is killing me everytime I have to reboot.
I am going to cross post this to LPP forums as well as I thought I was alone but obviously if there is a thread on it, then I am not alone. Here is hoping a fix is found as I really like LPP.
Facts: no app's stored on SD, no widgets installed on SD.
Cheers,
Switch to go launcher ex

adw launcher is probably the best all around. i love it
Just updated to cm 7 well the newest nscollab the problem is not as bad now
It's wite finicky
I use zeam on my x10 but I like the Widgets from lpp more
Adw... just looks odd to me
Go is not bad but too iPhone like
Regina lags..as you can see I've tried a fair few launchers
Side note lpp would be perfect if it has gestures and screen organisation like if you can rearrange screen order
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
So I figured out my issue, I was using the BFS sched. from netarch and once I switched to CFS things went to acceptable levels, I say acceptable as its still not as good as ADW but its good enough that I can use the launcher I prefer, lets just hope he stays up on the updates still waiting for the rewrite and with his last post of themeing widgets for this version I am afraid we are a bit lower on the queue.

Has anyone tried ADW ex on the aria with 6.1.1?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Cyanogen already uses ADW luancher, although i havnt tried ADW ex yet i have no reason to suspect that it wouldnt work
Works great for me its essentially the standard adw just a newer version.
Id actually say its a bit faster even with screen animations & 3d app drawer. Hell it even works great on my girlfriend's backflip
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
i works greaaaatt
Been using it since it came out.
I like it alot compared to the old ADW.
bought it it's great, trying to delete free ADW.
I've used it without problems. However, I prefer Launcher Pro - seems faster to me.

Hi, is anyone here running TW Launcher 4.5 on their Nexus S?
If so how do you like it? Any issues/annoyances/opinions/suggestions/warnings?
Freezes my phone. Stay away from it. lol

It works fine on my MIUI ROM.
I use it on Bugless Pete and I really do enjoy it. Runs very well.

I have this and it works fine on my NS4G. I dont use it as a daily however.
I tried making a post last night from the phone lost it and said "screw it".
I use(d), as of today, it on my Nexus S 4G with MiUi and Bugless Pete kernel.
It works for awhile, I don't know what the trigger is, then it locks the phone up.
"restart and save" from the menu doesn't work as well as the hot reboot and a few other things.
Today I switched to ADW Ex, I liked TouchWiz but I'm starting to thing there's something "missing" or it's incompatible with MiUi.
I tried this for a few hours on brainmaster's MIUI. Got a bunch of FCs during that time so I went back to the default MIUI launcher.
Tried it on CM7 and Oxygen. Works at first then starts to freeze. Would be nice if someone could get this to work 100%.
I had this running on Oxygen and while the launcher itself seemed to be running fine, I was unable to get any of the widgets working. Have any of you had success with the TW4/GSII widgets? Clock & weather specifically.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I'm running it on a stock setup, once in awhile it will lag, when I hit menu>edit it will FC, other then that it runs and looms pretty good.
Not sure how to configure the widgets though

It doesn't work. I only get two icons on the dock (messaging and the app drawer), and nothing else at all.
Will I ever be able to find a launcher that has the dock icons exactly the same size as all other icons, but not slow as hell like ADW...

so I just got the update today and I'm very happy. However, I can't get LP to work on ICS. It closes everytime I try to select it and I get the msg "unfortunately, LP has stopped." Anyone experience this problem?
Its just not compatible with ics and no info on if it ever will be since the dev hasn't updated it in ages.

Go Launcher EX > Launcher Pro... By miles..
Haven't had any issues. In fact, I went back to using LP instead of ADW Ex because the latest ADW Ex update jacked up the dock and the older version has a dumb looking bar at the top of the screen, probably some weird honeycomb code. Even though LP hasn't been updated in 7 months, it's still working fine for me on ICS.
Just downloaded Go Launcher, thanks. I've been stuck on LP for so long bc of the widgets. Haven't customized my Nexus ina loooong time but ever since I got ICS, it feels like I have a new phone to mess around with lol.

If you want something similar to LP's widgets to use with Go Launcher check out APW. Free and Paid version. Or use GoWidgets.. Solid widget set though. - https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yZHIud2lkZ2V0cy5jb3JlIl0.
I also used Launcher Pro Plus on GB stock rom.
Actually on ICS is stock launcher the best - and instead of LPP widgets you can use "Android Pro Widgets" free on market (looks exactly like from LPP)
Launcher Pro will crash on ICS if you use the calendar widget. It should work fine if you don't use that widget - that worked for me.

+1 no doubt about it
I use ADW EX it works great plus its been updated for ICS compatibility.. any launcher>LP lol
On Gingerbread, Launcher Pro is still the best and smoothest launcher. I really hope that Fede has been working on re-writing the whole app and making it compatible for ICS.
Why would u want another launcher on ics?

To make the top row useable, limit the number of homescreens, custom number of rows and columns on homescreen, resizable icons, fully resizable widgets, etc.
Go launcher is the worst.

Because all of the android stock launchers are freaking butt ugly. Especially the ICS version. It's no wonder why htc uses sense and Samsung touchwiz. Because if they tried to sell phones with stock android launchers they wouldn't sell many phones. Believe it out not, most of the phone buying world feels this way. For the most part,only the hardcore android fan boys like the stock launcher.

Just use Nova launcher -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071
based on ICS stock launcher + lot of features (Docks, Grid,...etc) and Uber fast.
PS: And works when GPU rendering is on while GO launcher got artefacts/Gfx bugs.

Why fix it if it ain't broke? Compared to the latest versions of ADW Launcher EX and GoLauncher EX, LauncherPro runs way smoother and lag-free on my gf's G2 with GB 2.3.4 and my Nook Color with GB 2.3.7.

It cannot even change page order now, and the re-build was said last year and what we get now? Not even a word about it.
I know we cannot demand anything from a dev so I just switched to another launcher
So I have been using blur since the day I got it but wanted to see if there was any ics Fish stuff and there and I found this just kind of curious on if you guys ate using alternates or stick w stock launches I love it my self keep in mind its still in beta

Go launcher, before that I used launcher pro plus
I've kind of stuck with the blur launcher actually, but I DO use the Go Launcher on my Tab 7, because it is way better than what Samsung was shipping...
Go's a great launcher, with some great plugins. I believe the underlying engine is ADW....
Give this one a whirl its still in Chinese to start but I really like this one used to like adw ex but after update it became dumb IMO after it loads it converts to English kind of a mix of miuu and adw and has custom lock screens built in

If you want your phone to look like an iPhone, there is the espier launcher. Its not my every day launcher but I have it to show iPhone people that I can make my phone look just like there's but I'm not stuck with my phone looking like everyone else's excluding the wallpaper.
I personally use go launcher but used launcher pro and adw launcher in the past. I havent used a stock launcher in a very long time.

Does anyone know which launchers may work with the HTC One?
I need to set up a 7 X 6 grid on the home screen. Basically I want to port over my setup from my Atrix 4G. Noone has mentioned any grid settings so a 3rd party launcher may be necessary.

I think Sense 5.0 should be compatible with the HTC One. Don't hold me to it though, I could well be wrong. Hope that helped buddy!...
The only other launcher that I have heard for certain works with the One is Nova Launcher. Read about it on Android Central. But I would imagine others would work just as well.
Hope this helps

I'm sure apex and go launchers will work soon as you buy it as well. It is running 4.1 I believe? So it won't be a problem at all.

I just got my One today, and one of the first things I tried was to install my favorite launcher, LauncherPro Plus. It installed and seemed to work, but I quickly discovered that, because the One doesn't have a "menu" button and because LauncherPro apparently doesn't adhere to the latest Android application design guidelines, what you end up with is a big horizontal black bar with three vertically aligned dots (HTC's solution for apps that still require a menu button) between the launcher icons and the capacitive buttons - which sadly makes it a non starter for me, unfortunate because I really like LauncherPro.
@levman, I too like launcher pro but last I saw, Frederico stopped supporting it around Android 2.2 or so. Did he return to this project?
I guess 2.2 would work on this phone....or not.
Edit; I guess I should have said that Launcher Pro was last based off android 2.2. He of course re-wrote a ton of that code.
ADW.EX works fine, as does Apex/Apex Pro.
Nova is probably the best launcher available, some good customizable options in there
