Oh I know I was just looking at the screen transitions though and thinking about ADW that's all

Other than the new transitions, can any of you who are using comment if it's smooth and fast on the nexus s? I had it previously and it actually slowed down the phone rather than making it faster/smoother like it did on my nexus one.
Just waiting to reinstall it. Thanks guys!

Quit waiting and install. It really is smooth as can be now. Haven't seen a single stutter.
Before the update it was so herky jerky for me that I switched to adw. Its great to be back. And the 3d launcher seems to be fixed as well.

Worked smoothly before the update and just as smooth after.

the 3d app drawer option still doesn't work for me. very glitchy/lots of stutter when scrolling with it. otherwise very smooth in all other areas. now staying with LP from adw ex.

I've just downloaded it for my nexus s.
On the one hand the home transitions are perfectly smooth and I really like the visual effects.
On the other hand the app drawer scrolling got worse, it's laggy, that nice visual effect where I could see the previous and the next app icons is lost and the orange effect that showed me when I reached the end of the list is half-ruined (only the lower effect doesn't work like before, the upper one is fine)
Not really satisfied, I'm hoping in a new update.
Edit: first issue solved: the glow effect when you reach the end of the list is now perfectly working after i disabled the "home icon in app drawer" option.

I am not sure why people keep saying they are seeing lag. I am seeing ZERO lag on home screen scrolling and none in the app drawer either.

I've never seen a spec of lag with LP on any phone except my MT3G which was a piece of feces.

I get lag when using pinch-zoom to view my 7 home screens. I disabled the 3D app drawer bc it's still buggy. Other than that I love LP and its new transition effects!

LP still stutters when scrolling through the appdrawer ... I use livewallpapers and adwex is glass smooth when scrolling through the appdrawer ... I'm keeping adwex.

That's your prerogative but I've honestly never seen that once. Not on my Epic, not on my Evo, not on my wife's Evo Shift, and definitely not on either of our Nexus S' which leads me to believe there is something else at fault and not LP. Heck, I never even saw it before I donated and upgraded to LPPlus. Hope you enjoy ADW Ex!

I can go on with a list if phones I've had LP installed on and never had a problem. I gladly donated and don't regret it (don't get me wrong I love LP) ... The very very very first app I installed when I got my NS out the box was LP ... I noticed right away that scrolling through the appdrawer with a livewallpaper was kinda choppy. Countless roms later and this update ... its still the same ... I'm just thinking it's a 2.3 thing.

I hope you didn't take my tone to be rude, I was merely stating that I've never (again the MT3G but it was a slow phone period) had any issues so the arising of issues for people seems to baffle me. Also, I was implying that in a lot of cases issues can be related to user-related problems (IE if you have a lot of apps, your app drawer has to populate a huge list and might show some lag, or having a lot of badly written widgets might cause some stuttering on homescreens, etc).

Launcher pro freezes at start up

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
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

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.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

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.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

Good to know that it is a common problem I guess all I CB do is wait for an update
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

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
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

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.

Sense Live Wallpaper

I just wanted to post it here for you guys I just got this working on MIUI. I don't know if it works with CM7, but you guys could check.
BTW, this is flashable and should work on all GB roms.

I fancy giving this a try, I'm on an sgs2 though so are there any reasons why I shouldn't?

It should be fine with everything flashed through CWM 3.x
AFAIK it works on all gingerbread samsung roms and MIUI
edit: and if it doesn't work, nothing bad would happen. You'd just try to apply the wallpaper and the set wallpaper screen would FC.

Just tested it on villain rom 1.4 and it works perfectly, thanks!

strange, my first post didn't show up.
anyways. It installed fine on my cappy with Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC1; however, when I try to select it as a live wallpaper. it kept on force closing on me.

I wish there was more that I could tell you other than it just won't work. Sorry, but thanks for testing it out

No problem.

I couldn't get it to work on Cognition 5 Beta 3 ... No force close but just a black screen. What is the folder I have to go into using a file explorer in order to delete the file and stop it from showing up under my live wallpaper menu? Thanks.

/system/app/Mode10Wallpapers.apk

Just installed this on Pinnacle (I know it comes with it but thought I'd try this version) and the problem I'm having is it is squished on the sides. I know when I had it on MIUI it was fine. Any ideas?

Best implementation of this wallpaper I've ever seen for this wallpaper on a non-sense build. Don't know why I've been so obsessed with getting it working (except that it looks great), but thanks!

Anyone has the ICS live wallpapers?

i need too ....

Home launcher options

hey all,
I am running the tiamat hammerhead rom... I like it but right now there are not too many great themes for the xoom. A few color changing ones and the touchwiz port which i did like, but im down for something more. The best way to go about this short of doing my own theme is to get a good home launcher and use some custom animations and icon packs...
Here is the rub.. A lot of the home launchers are too phone-ish.. If that makes sense. Any suggestions? I was partial to ADW ex launcher but i looove the stock launching set-up. I mostly would like to maybe change animations, speeds, etc, but most importantly use icon packs. Any ideas for me or suggestions on good launchers with a stock home screen feel? I dont want my xoom to have a home screen like a giant phone lol

I just stick to stock until someone makes a launcher for honeycomb

Lol i guess that will be the case. No one has any advice...

I would recommend ADW EX, but since it hasn't been updated in 3 months and isn't fully compatible with 3.2...

Yeah adw ex doesn't work well with 3.2 at the moment. I believe the older adw (non ex) works but u gotta find an .apk for that

Not true, imo, ADW EX works great, so smooth with my config and I like having 6 screens. ADW settings is mostly disabled, meaning I can't change the size of icons, basically. But everything else works really well.

Yeah thy made a 3.2 compatible version today... Still not all the way there in my opinion and quirky as anderweb releases tend to be at first until they find all the bugs. Props to them for the effort but i am still not sold. Gonna have to just try the stargate theme coming out soon! Which looks badass!

Launcher Pro crashes with ICS

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
