Hey guys, I was looking through the nexus forum and found a post for Launcher Pro. It's available in the market for free and it's super fast. Check it out! The swiping is ridiculous and it works on the G1 MT3G
www.launcherpro.com
hmmm, just installed it and it is fast. Not nearly as many options as ADW but it sure is fast. Have setup all my screens again but will give it a try for a while to see how it fairs.
Wohoo...
Multitouch pinch to preview and the little bumps almost make the sense experience complete
This is crazy smooth! My only complaint is that it FC's when I try to pick a wallpaper from it. And cyanogen says that Launcher2 is not stable for our phones, but this is 17 times better. Anyone know the adb code to make it stay in memory? I'm not having any issues with it but I still like to have it in memory=p
Awesome stuff!
Requesting: scrollbar in the drawer; apps assigning for / editing for the shortcuts.
HOLY CRAP this app works flawlessly on my cm5t5 g1.
I would like for there to be more options though.
Great job so far mang, keep up the great work!!
Very very nice indeed!
Shame that I can't edit the icons using Bettercut and/or restore a previous Home-screen arrangement using MyBackUpPro. Without these things I will have to use ADW's Launcher for now. Which is not a punishment by itself
[Edit] With the "new" version (the one with the appdrawer handler still visible when you open the drawer) this IS possible (editting using BetterCut), nice job!
What does it actually do for a CM5.0.7t5 phone? Has Cyanogen weighed in on this?
hi there!
awesome launcher, smooth as hell.
But i wonder if theres an option to let in rest in memory.
I experience some wait time when im getting out of apps, so that the homescreen has to rebuild itself. with the default cm5t5 launcher theres the option in spareparts that makes it stay in memory so it was there very fast after quitting apps.
cheers
Using this launcher with cm5.0.7 test5 and its fantastic. Im also running the overclock kernel at 652 and its smooth!
Question though, wouldn't the spare parts option to keep launcher in memory apply to whatever launcher you are using?
Weird, it does not show up in the market for me...
I am using htcclays's csdi. I know that rom was from overseas originally... Does it mess up the market too?

Do you have to wait for Cyan to tell you when to go to the bathroom too? Just nandroid then try it

I think its 2.0+ only
its just a launcher. uninstall and install it like a normal app. its not some system hack, i duno why some of you are worried about it. dont even need to nandroid, it doesnt mess up any system stuff. doesnt even require root access. it's a pretty smooth launcher. adw is trying to rework his to make it smooth as well.

yes it works, i set LauncherPro as default launcher when asked when phone booted, then i used SpareParts option to leave launcher in memory and it worked. Now when i close apps im instantly in my homescreen without having to reload it every time. works like a charm =)

That's what I suspected and that exactly what I did and saw. Then I see people questioning it and thought "maybe they know something I don't". Oh well..

I don't think so, otherwise people with sense roms could push spare parts into their roms and make the option work. I do know that there is a thread on doing just that in general, but I'm too lazy to search now=p
so im guessin' the LauncherPro isn't for 1.6 fones, like the G1?
^ yeap, see my post above.
Been using it since yesterday on G1/CM5.0.7t5 and it's mighty fast.
Excellent work!
A 5 column launcher would be nice though, if it doesn't affect performance...

And have something go wrong, brick my phone, and have only myself, and you, to blame. No thanks. Better safe than sorry. Go troll something else.
With my limited understanding of the flashing process and all of this, I don't take risks. Besides, no one on here is going to be accountable for bad advice given and replace the phone there crappy advice bricked. If you can't give advice without a disclaimer, then shut up about me asking questions like this.
Hey, can anybody point me in the direction of a theme for any of the i897/i9000 roms (not CM7, MIUI, or AOSP) that is based off Windows Phone 7. I understand I can get Launcher 7, apps, etc; but I would like a theme.
I don't want a windows phone, so don't say "Get a Windows Phone if you want it" or anything to that regard, I just like the look.
Thanks in advance.
There aren't any for a non
Aosp i don't think. Maybe launcher pro or adw with a theme is the closest you'll get.
Why?
Why would anybody want a Windows theme on an Android? Just saying!!!

I didn't need a new launcher. I have launcher 7. I just needed themed apps/framework, but I decided to screw it.
Themed app icons? Or the entire app ui themed?

I have Launcher 7 lol. I need the actual apps themed, but it's not really a big deal anymore.
Why the lol? :/

I wouldn't need themed icons when I said I had Launcher 7. I created this thread solely to see if anyone has made a theme, or could make one.
I know you decided to scrap the idea, but if you change your mind or someone stumbles upon this thread in the future (and the fact that I typed all this out and found all the links before I saw that you didn't want to do it anymore) I'll post this anyway.
I did this a few months back with some decent results. Keep in mind this is Gingerbread based as ICS didn't exist when I tried. YMMV on an ICS port.
I used MIUI with this theme. The project has been discontinued, but it may still work with more recent builds.
I used Launcher 7 (Free|Donate) but you may want to try out these apps which have recently become free. I have only seriously used Launcher 7, but previous versions seemed (I DID NOT TEST, this is just what it seemed like) to drain the battery a bit more than I liked. Again, this was months ago and not scientific and the battery "drain" was not serious.

I actually did that already lol, but I was looking for an i897 based samsung rom theme, but thanks a lot for the link to those free apps, I appreciate it!
Can anyone tell me what Launcher works the best with CM9 Alpha 2. Would you recommend I change the Trebuchet one I am currently using now to something that may have more options? Paid or Free, it doesn't matter. Please let me know which ones work with the new CM9 Alpha 2 as that is currently what I have on my TouchPad as I don't want to kill it AGAIN! THANKS!
I've had no trouble with CM9's stock. In fact I've downloaded maybe a dozen launchers for my Gingerbread SGSII and I still can't find a launcher as unobtrusive as CM9's stock trebuchet.
I like and use trebuchet. Nova is also good.

Is there is lot of difference between Nova & trebuchet? I use trebuchet as I am good with it and it did come with the CM9 stock. But I just like to play around and change up things on my TouchPad just for fun. Course always do a backup first and foremost!
Thank you both!
I'm using trebuchet, but have used Apex launcher, search for it on xda its not on the market yet. Its very similar to stock trebuchet but with more options, like changing icons and transition effects.

Okay I just put the Apex Launcher on there. It looks GREAT! I love that you can rename the apps/games on your desktop, was hoping for something like that! When I went to the help in the actual Apex Launcher App I was able to make it my default and everything as they were very specific on how to do that. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!
There's a beta of go launcher tab edition floating around. Been using it for the last few hours and its great. Keep in mind I hate go launcher. But the tablet version is great. Highly recommend trying it out.
Another ADX happy user here. Tried most of the others but like the solidity of it. Would be interested to see a comparison of resource usage amongst the lot of them though. I like Go and use it on my HTC phone but it seems sluggish and resource heavy in comparison.
If you like trebuchet, then you'll probably like Nova launcher - it looks about the same, but has a few more features, and works with various screen density/dpi settings.
I'm also trying out the new Go Launcher HD (beta) and like it. Not too many options yet, but I like what I see so far.
Can someone point me in the direction of that GO HD launcher. Found a link from Droid life but it won't install.
Thanks also for the apex reccomendation, really liking it but I love GO on my phone so am excited to try this tablet version.
Edit: Found it via Google when I had some time

I've given up on launchers and only use task switcher which becomes quite intuitive and is always available with a single swipe.
Hey lads, the new swiftkey beta is out.
Here's the download link (provided by paranoid android85) - http://www.mediafire.com/?o4wxgq0c95fbl6b
One of the biggest feature is you don't have to use the space key anymore. The app knows where you want to have a space and puts it in automatically.
Another thing is new themes. 2 ICS-like themes, cobalt and holo. Give it a try, awesome so far

Once installed you can not do without ...
writes almost all by herself as if you read my thoughts!
is fantastic, a beta that has nothing of the beta!
Yeah its fantastic, only thing that's stopped me from using it is that it's not as smooth as the normal one ie. there are slight lags
Thanks, we will test now
Thanks for the share. It's real neat.
I had a lot of sms' to sync with it and i was surprised at how well it learns. I've had limited experience with the previous versions but i like the prediction algorithms that they use.
Plus i'm too lazy to use spaces now. I just type my whole paragraph and it fixes it for me.
worth a try, looks great thanks!
i like it

No bro scrolling is good if you put it in system/app folder, but yes if we use live wallpaper scrolling gets bit slow.. I'm switching between go launcher and this and find this one more smooth while scrolling, keep eye on updates they will be new update in some days with lots of improvements
Thanks for this Launcher =)

This launcher is not worthed buying and needs a lot and I mean a lot of work.Nowdays there are at least five excellent launchers on the market, light weight and the loaded ones but all working smooth and bugless.It's not the Phoenix case.
Could you...

I'm sorry but on my s2 this has been the best launcher I've tried yet and i'm only using the free version. With the ability to make folders by draging one icon into another i'm an instant fan and I am going to buy the full version.
offcourse everybody has a different taste..
i agree that phoenix is not so good, i didn't like it at all.. it's pretty basic, nothing special and i didn't like the app drawer.
my favorites: launcher pro plus and nemus launcher.
go launcher is quite nice with many options but lacks in performance..
right now i'm trying ss launcher.
