This post is targeted towards all the leakers out there. If you're still looking for a Nexus One-style home replacement app, look no further than LauncherPro Beta. It has an app launcher drawer with a *very* smooth 3D fly-in effect, a la the Nexus One. Home screen scrolling stutter is also eliminated, and overall the app just flies performance-wise.
I'm sure many of you have heard of it; this thread is for the people who haven't. Please no flaming.
EDIT: You can also "pinch-zoom" the home screen to get a helicopter view - just like the Sense UI.

Yeah its a decent little application, However you should probably post this in themes and apps as it doesn't relate to development. Not flaming just saying you posted in the wrong forum.
I agree with you that it doesn't really belong here, but I was hoping to ward off a lot of the people complaining about not having root and how they can't make their phone look like a Nexus One. Maybe my efforts are futile...
I use LauncherPro on my Eris. I have one tip to throw out there for root users who want to use this... the app doesn't (yet) have a feature to customize what the dock icons do. And on a Sense-based ROM, you will probably be getting the HTC Messaging app by default with no way to switch it (at least that's what happened to me). That's fine if you use that, but I only use Handcent SMS, for example.
So I had to use ADB to rename /system/app/Mms.apk to Mms.bak... no adverse affects seen from that yet. Handcent took over automatically. Downside being you can't use the HTC app anymore unless you reverse the change.

Yeah all you have to do is remove Mms.apk and Browser.apk and you get handscent and xscope as defaults (if u have them installed of course). Not technically custom, but still what I wanted
Try updating to his newest release. 0.2.0. I have mine themed and since his newest release on 5.19, my sms opens to chomp. should work with handscent as well, I have not deleted my default sms.
hope that helps.
I like...has anyone confirmed sense widgets working with it yet?
Sense Widgets do not appear as an option in adding onto the launcher pages.

sense widgets will not work with launcherpro. it is a stock home replacement. only android widgets work. however, flip clock and weather widget is an app that mimics the htc flipclock. you have to install the ht7 theme for the flipclock and weather icons. looks identical. either that or beautiful widgets. there are no other apps created that mimic the rest of the widgets tho... yet. however there are a few android widgets that will suffice tho. use them to your own liking. I wish htc would create Senseui replacement app. Meaning, open source skinning for sense ui. its one of the main reasons why i rooted my phone. We all like the functionality of those widgets, but they wont make them open source. that would discourage many from rooting and voiding thier warranties. id pay for that app and themes as well!
yea, doesnt belong here, but launcherpro IS SWEET!!!!!!!
I really liked LauncherPro Beta... but i also fell in love with HelixLauncher mostly because you can customize the bottom bar for any apps that you want and its also free on the market
The developer of that app is actually working on updating it to be able to customize the bottom dock. I did a lil reading here on the boards & found a way to re route the messaging shortcut to handcent. Works like a charm. Til then ill still rock with sense until that update comes along. If your rooted and using ported hero rom, try adw launcher. Its the best so far. Now it has the customizable bottom dock. Its A flashable file so use at your own risk. And do not forget to do nandroid backup.

I love this so much preforms really well on my eris.
What is that click they use in ask the screen shots? Looks just like the sense clock which is exactly what I'm looking for.

Its called Weather Widgets and its made by the "Android Apps" people. It looks JUST LIKE the sense Clock/Weather widget and functions the same way too. Its what I use with the Launcher Pro Beta. Looks just like sense. I believe its a paid app though.
Also, Weather Widgets (yr.no) by Thomware is very close to sense also.
Just installed LauncherPro Beta, and I LOVE it. Now that you can change what the shortcuts on the bottom go to, I believe I'm going to completely abandon HelixLauncher. This one is WAY better.
I use LauncherPro Beta. I love it. Customize the dock, change screens
Pretty fast too. MFLOPS 3.34 @ 1.62 sec, 3.358 @ 1.61 sec, 3.323 @ 1.63.
Not too bad. OC to 768.
Is there a way to replace the stock launcher home (not rosie) with this launcher been trying all day....i really want to be a pro and put the new launcher in system/apps as opposed to data/app
is this possible ?
Edit: nevermind I got it
ADW
Guys, ADW launcher is in the market now. just search adw
I find this blows even launcherpro away
edit: and it's free too, just like launcher.
I just installed adw a few days ago, switching from launcherpro, so trust me, I don't have anything against launcherpro
ADW is pretty cool. Was using Launcher Pro. Think I'll use ADW for a while.

I know it's android and I shouldn't want to do this, but I want a real looking iPhone theme/rom.
4 Icon Dock
iPhone Dock Style
I want it to look exactly like an iPhone 4 would, so no 5 icon dock with 4 icons and an app drawer icon. I want 3 icons and an app drawer icon.
Thanks in advance
research helps.
look into launcher apps first, no rooting needed for that.
"roms" or "themes" that need rooting.... you wont find one that looks like iphone
research
research
re- search.
Yeah I have been researching for a few weeks. I came across MIUI, and the ADW Themes, but they all look kind of.....off. I probably won't find anything closer than these b/c of copyrights, but I have hope
well ADW themes doesnt require root.
there are dozens of launcher apps, there are some that are really close to start. then you can go find icons and docks that look really close then put them all together. and BAM.
part of the customizing has to be done yourself. but the apps make it easy. by letting you customize.
MIUI is probably your best bet.
But can I just ask why you bought an android phone if what you wanted was an iphone?

I don't like iOS, just the look of it. I also wanted to try a bunch of roms to see what I prefer.
Hello. Currently, I have CM9 A2 on my TouchPad. Trebuchet is amazingly simple and I love it, except one thing. There's no dock. Is there something I can do to get it? In launcher settings when I click dock it doesn't lead to a new menu... And I do NOT want to use a different launcher. Thanks!
Not yet there isn't. The Dock is something that's in the works for the launcher. That's why it doesn't go anywhere - because it's a stub until they put something there. Keep your eyes peeled, and something should happen at some point.
So far no dock support, I suggest the simple to use ADW launcher, there is a nice free version and even better paid version. It looks good on the touchpad screen without taking away from ice look, even lets you dock 3 or 5 apps

Hey guys, anyone knows of any themes for it ? Tried the store but didn't see any.
What's the best way to go about this ? I just want to add some color to the gear...Can't believe those lame icons Samsung put in it.
Thanks
P.S. Do we need pro version or free would work ?
Reason I am asking is because I currently use smart launcher which works great but for the life of me can not put the premium version in the gear.
I tried backing up the apk from my phone but the app is locked it says so I can not extract it. this sucks...
That's why I am curious about the Nova. Maybe I'll switch if it could be done
Hi there!
proud owner of a 1p1 for 5 hours now.
I really like the feature of swiping to the left on the left-most-screen to trigger the google-now app.
But I hate google now
Do you have any recommendations for others apps which offer this intent, so I can swipe to the left to trigger the alternative app?
I only know one, I have instaled by default, its a bus-fixtures app called "öffi".
Thanks in advance
Maybe i dont understand well, but try to double tap on hw home button to launch gnow

The op really likes swiping left for access to a particular app. He wonders if there's any other ways to launch other apps using the same technique.

OK... So sorry...
There is a home launcher replacement app called Blur by Klinker Apps that has the GNL look and this option, but it's still in Beta and doesn't have that many pages available.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klinker.android.launcher
But take a look, the concept is very neat!
I'm trying to get my dad to get use to android from iOS with a One Plus One. He's using the themer launcher since it's simple. Sadly he said he still likes iOS more.
