okay, so apparently my launcher pro beta has expired on my speedy eclair ROM. How the heck do I upgrade or update or install a newer version? I've tried downloading the new version from the Market, but it fails to install.. I've downloaded it from the website and tried to use an .apk installer to install and it again fails.
How do I get it to work? it's annoying as heck.
Use Blaokmarket.com or droidappz.org. I suggest signing up for both, but using DroidAppz.org for now while they confirm your addition to BlapkMarket (takes about 1-3 days for them to confirm you.) And when you're in BlapkMarket, you can then download apps and update them (just like the Market.)
Or use ADW.Launcher... much better!
please i need help.. launcher pro has expired and i have no internet availiable. the browser keeps popping up and i can't do anything. my debugging is off so i can't uinstall it from sdk. i don't want to make a factory reset cause of that stupid programm. the only thing i need is a way to open the settings and make android home default instead of launcherpro but how can i do this when the only thing i see is the browser and the task manager?
Ok why was a trial version used? Is there a way round this issue or do we have to uninstall and start from scratch??? Maybe I should have expected it
Hi,
have a look into launcher Pro forum.
But no solution for now except :
- Try to crash LauncherPro
- Get an internet connexion and upgrade LP using the displayed web page
- use a task killer if one exist and is running
- try to get into android settings ...
I had a data connection and manage to get rid of this probleme.
I really don't understand why an "official" release can expire and most of all I don't understand how they dare to block the launcher !! That's the main peice of the phone.
They block all the phones with their stupidity.
uninstalling
So I knew Launcher Pro was about to expire but this morning when I went to use my phone and the default launcher was disabled and all I was "allowed" to do was go to the Launcher Pro website and update I decided this launcher if not for me. Don't block me! Uninstalling now.
Using web page (as forced), do the download, but when you try to open the apk in the browser you get this popup:
Parse error: There is a problem parsing the package.
Another workaround post by Christmoo on LP forum :
He used the opened browser and :
"Went to the Droid-life.com website and then the Apps link and chose an application that linked to the Market to install. This brought up the Android Market and I could then search for Launcher Pro and update - problem solved."

Can you please tell me specifically what apps link go directly to the Android market. I am getting stuck finding one and actually launching the market place. Stuck in a viscous circle. Cant launch anything...but the launcher pro website
Hello there,
This happened to me a few hours ago. I've been frantically searching all over the net for acess to the Android Market. Just google search ADW.Launcher and go to the website JBthemes. I am unable to post links since I'm a "newbie".
It downloades the ADW.Launcher......but I personally think its better than the Launcher Pro.....
You will see a barcode......Press on it ( This is all done ON the phone ) and it will direct you to the Android Market......and the Installation page for the ADW.Launcher!
Good Luck

Thanks for responding Dan, unfortunatly that didnt work for me. I could navigate to the ADW page but it wouldnt let me install the app. It said I already have to many screens open???? Weird. I tried researching and installing for a few hours....
I finally gave up and rebuilt with another build. (Darkstone, Desire with Froyo Sence..just released Sept 29th, 2010) I was having a lot of problems with Cyanomod anyway. Lots of Screen of Death's....even after I tried a few different ROM's and Radio's. So far I like the Darkstone build a lot better, seems more stable. Some of the Sence features are actually very nice, compared to straight Froyo.
Anyway, I hope you solution works for others. It was simply too vexing for me.
launcher pro hijack your phone? go to this site to start android market: bubiloop.com/download/org.adw.launcher

if you long press home button you can access task manager
ther press search and type settings
system settings will apear.
go to manage applications and clear data or uninstall launcher pro
then when hiting home button you will be prompted to choose home or launcher pro
choose default home and everything is ok.
I have the same problem as above.
I am very angry about launcherpro update management. I can't get my phone up and running because i don't have any connection on my Hero.
Launcherpro is s**t. I'm getting rid of it.
Anyone know commands to DISABLE it as home in SDK through debugg?
Pressed "home" - no settings

Pressing "home" doesn't do it for me. All I get is "recent" apps, and task manager is not one of them. Settings seems unaccessible. Ideas, anyone?
I'm running FroydVillain 1.4
I did a long press on the phone button which brought up voice dialer, said "open settings" I used the link provided to install adw launcher, pressed home then selected adw launcher to use to return home.
Here is the solution which worked on HTC Hero / VillainROM 1.4.0
I also had this problem: Expired LauncherPro, Disabled Wi-fi & mobile network, disabled ADB and was unable to access settings.
I downloaded latest update from LauncherPro website and using this guide - / Google It - this message board does not allow me to post links / - (Creating an Android Update.zip Package – RobMcGhee.com) made update.zip file. Then I rebooted into recovery and aplied my file. After reboot Launcher Pro seemed slow at first, but IT WORKED!
I have attached my update file, but use at your own risk.

Had the same problem. The above worked for me. When I first used Opera Mini it did not work, but when I used Browser it worked. Thanks!
I'm working on my wife's and mother-in-law's NCs for Christmas. I don't want to replace the stock nook launcher, because both will be doing a lot of reading on the devices, and LauncherPro might make it a bit harder to use for the mother-in-law.
Is there an app that can launch just the app drawer from the notification tray? Since the stock nook launcher doesn't update new apps until you reboot, I thought that something sitting in the tray that could open all the apps on the device would be handy.
I've been looking all morning and was hoping that somebody here knows of something like that. Thanks!
Found something: in case anybody else has a need similar to mine, here is a two-app solution that I figured out.
App 1: Appicker. This app is sort of like an app drawer, it has some better features but it works just fine for launching apps.
App 2: Quick Launch. Quick launch is what makes the magic happen. It lets you set an app to launch with certain button presses. I went into the settings of this app and set Appicker to launch when I double click the home button.
Note: Appicker could be replaced by any other app launching app that you find that's better. I saw some others, like TaskOS, and I'm going to compare them all.
Let us know if you find a better solution. I'm outfitting a NC for a Christmas gift myself.
I went with adw launcher and configured it to open the app drawer with an upswipe.
Between that and the library tab being in the middle of the launcher I think my 80 yr old mom has it figured
Galaxy Tabs.....Worth every penny!!
the best way is to install soft keys...press the 'n' and have home set to soft keys.
then install your fav launcher and have the 'n' to always open that launcher.
wen you press the 'n' it will take you to the downloaded launcher but wen u press the soft keys home button it will take you to the original nook color home
this is wut I did for my moms nook color

SoftKeys is free, it works great. If you have some other need that it can't serve, post what it is. HTH.
Our nexus have search button which used to search within the running application, for eg, in music player if we press search button it used to search for songs in that player, but this feature is not available in 4.1. Wherever we are, pressing search button opens Google now! Does anyone know how to reassign that button to search within app only, and long pressing to open Google now??????

not everything requires a mod. just press the search and type your song/artist/album name. dont press go. let it filter and it will give you your results. if you press go, it will search the web and you have to select phone from the bottom ribbon.
make sure you have enabled google now --> settings--> phone search --> play music
somethings just need a bit of understanding
I think the best behavior is the original one, search in the app that is opened. I hate when I am in the browser and I click the search and google nows opens. The same happens in all apps like gmail app, I press to search an email and bye bye the apps goes away. I don't really care if galaxy nexus don't have this button. We do and so we should get some advantage of it.
Kind regards
I have gone through my AT&T Note 3 thoroughly and disabled most bloat.
I am finding the "My Magazine" app quite annoying due to single clicks of home button while on home screen and accidental upward swipes.
I have yet to figure out how to uninstall or disable it yet.
Does anyone know how?

I think until root is achieved if you cant disable it in app manager if you use a third party launcher it stops it from activating

Open My Magazine, hit your menu key, settings, you can turn off the option to open it via the home button... Unfortunately not with swipe up though. It seems like swiping is more difficult to open it anyway so it's less annoying.

is there any way to start the my magazine as an app and put on my home screen etc?
i cannot seems to find it in the app draw
I don't understand why they have this and flipboard. It is basically the same thing with a different interface and less customization.
It's annoying as hell for me because I already have flipboard as a damn widget. What's worse is you can't even put your flipboard account on there.

In a search on another thread to find a solution for getting to the home screen or home page without pressing the home button, user Dankchild provided this app:
Swipe Home Button Free
It creates a small area at the bottom of the screen where you can swipe up and it will take you home (or another custom action you set). You have to swipe from a little off the bottom of the screen up, and the magazine action is still there if you start on the screen, but since installing this and getting used to swiping from the bottom starting off the screen, I haven't opened the magazine application once. Not a fix but it is working great for me and killing two birds with one stone!
I'm looking for the same thing-a way to disable the stupid My Magazine swipe-up gesture. It's half baked and useless to me. Flipboard is much better and more customizable and I hate that the gesture is there at all in the stock launcher. There has to be a way around this somehow.
I went in to My Magazine and turned off the launch when pressing home button. Then with my phone rooted I froze it with titanium backup. Now if you swipe up from the bottom you get a little popup that says "No app found" or something like that. I have not found a way to get rid of that completely, maybe with that swipe up program listed above.
I also went into My Mag and disabled the button. Switched to NOVA launcher and now it doesnt activate if you swype up from the bottom of the screen...not sure if I did anything to disable it.

If you disable the apk it messes with the stock e-mail app for some reason. I spent days trying to figure out why until someone in another thread suggested I try unfreezing it. Now I haven't had any issues for about 3 days with the e-mail app.

Is this only with the stock e-mail (not gmail) app, or does it effect other stock apps too?

I read that this method is doing a fc whit the email apps
I am pretty disappointed with this. I was hoping I would not have to root the device.
You MUST agree to the Terms and Conditions / Privacy Policies to be able to "disable" the home button binding. If you force stop, clear data then the binding returns.
What was Samsung thinking when they thought they should FORCE everyone to use it or SUFFER the inconvenience...

Jokesonme gave you the answer! With that app you don't have to root and you can have it do nothing when you swipe or switch it to a different app.
Thanks jokesonme!!

Did not work for me. Even with installing the app and trying different bindings, it will either FC TouchWiz or go to the app not found screen in Google Play.
Sadface. Can't wait to put on a custom ROM without all the bloat.
This is horrible every like 20 minutes I'm gettin the error. I don't wanna root I wanna stick to stock.
Any other options?

just got my x2 pro and i am having trouble in turning on "swipe left for google now feed" feature. have never used color os before so i am clueless. please help me out.
It is very possible the Feed is not on that launcher. You may need to install a third party launcher to do that.

i got it working perfectly but it took some time to get it to work right.
i am using nova/nova prime and downloaded the nova google companion apk from teslacoils website.
this is what i did in this order:
download nova(and nova prime if you have it)
use adb to uninstall the stock launcher(com.oppo.launcher)for swipe gesture controls to work you can only use the back on left or right bottom selection
use adb to uninstall the oem browser (com.nearme.browser)
use adb to uninstall athena (com.coloros.athena)<--- once you remove this when going to recent app you will have to swipe them away manually to close the X will not close them
use adb to uninstall (com.oppo.quicksearchbox)
then go to google and type in nova google companion (should see a link to download the apk) install it
give nova/nova prime/companion all autostart/background running permissions
it should work after those steps are followed. also the good new is once the athena is removed notifications come through without issue for 3rd party apps (facebook/instagram/snapchat etc) just have to give all permissions to display (autostart is only allowed for 5 non system apps) bust since athena is gone even the apps that i dont have autostarting are coming through without delay.
hope this helps!!!
