Just to share some finding (if it is not yet been widely been a known issue) about the Phone App of Galaxy S when using with Launcher Pro.
I was very frustrated by the Phone App comes with the Galaxy S, when I get my Galaxy S, I use Launcher Pro right the way, there is a Phone shortcut on the dock, which I didn't alter it and use it from the beginning.
I eventually discovered that when I launch the Phone App every time, it will goes to the dial pad screen, instead of the call log screen which I left the Phone App last time, I was thinking of this is a bug of the Phone App since there is no setting on the Phone App for choosing which screen to startup, so I was searching if there is any alternative but there is none in the market better than the stock one.
My friend just show me he his Galaxy S using ADW Launcher, and when I open the Phone App on his phone, it goes back to the call lock screen, woo! That is what I'm looking for, but how did he do that? He said he did nothing, so I go to download ADW Launcher right the way and I got the same result, probblem solved!
However, I personally prefer Launcher Pro more, and seem that is not the problem of the Phone App itself but between the Phone App and Launcher Pro, so I launch back Launcher Pro again and try. The same problem appear again, so I launch the Phone App from the drawer when using Launcher Pro, the problem gone too!
So, I try to hold on the Phone shortcut on the dock, re-assign the shortcut to launch the Phone App, it launch properly now.
So the original phone shortcut seems to be having some problem, maybe calling something else which is equivalent to the Phone on the original shortcut?
Anyway, re-assign the Phone App to the dock will solve this.
Thanks!
I also had to do the same for contacts icon (was not assigned to the contacts app).
guess the shortcut was not calling the phone app but was calling the default calling applications
like when you launch the app normally , it asks the phone to launch the app
when you use that shortcut , it tells the phone you want to call
With the swipe function in the dock, u can have the best of both worlds.
The default press brings me to the dialer, while swiping up bring me to the call log provided it was last closed in that position.
i have a USB connection problem with Kies when is Launcher pro can be connected when using Kies no problem is there any fix for this ?
Samsung Kies will not work with any other launcher other than the default TWLauncher. You will need to switch back the default launcher to the TWLauncher before you can connect under Kies mode. You can download an application called "Home Switcher" to change the default launcher. To play safe, reboot after change the default launcher.

Thanks very much Copo!
The best way to do this to alwas get the call log is this:
Use the default Launchpro icon to get to the dialer, which i find is great. Then change the swipe gesture to launch an activity and the activity is part of the phone app and choose the log option tab...i think it is the first or second choice.
That way you have the best of both worlds
Swipe up for sure. I use it for launching contacts. Such a handy feature, really improves productivity.

Anyone know what activity uses Launcher Pro to open dialpad directly?
I want to use that shortcut with ADW, but i can't find it in activities. I managed to open dialpad from a shortcut with the activity: Contacts -> Contacts(.TwelveKeyDialer), but dialpad is opened without tabs at the top (Phone, Call log, Contacts, Favorites).
How can i find what shortcut command Launcher Pro uses for opening dialer?

Stopped using touch wiz and switched to launcherpro as my default home app, reduced lag by a lot
I first installed this program and deleted it. Well now I decided I want it back but it doesn't show up in my apps drawer. It shows up in settings under manage apps but still no way to set it as my default. I sent the dev an email but never got a response. What do I do?

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps. Then press Menu > List all apps. Fine "twlauncher" and clear defaults for it.

Go to Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Press menu button (left bottom) - select filter -select running - go down to the bottom TwLauncher - Click clear defaults - press home buttom.
It will ask you what you want to use as your default.
Delete and reinstall it and it should ask to set as default when you press home

Yeah, TouchWiz is quite lagly at the moment.
I use home switcher app to switch from touch wiz, launcher pro or ADW. Its a great app to switch home replacements quick.

Fantastic! Thanks
I use Launcherpro and I think it is the best home replacement... better than Open Home which I used in the past...
LauncherPro Plus is KING! Can't wait for it's new widgets within the next few weeks.
So I miss the vibrate on call connect feature I had on my old WinMo HTC Touch, any way to get this feature on my Epic
I believe there is a way... I haven't tested it out, but the setting is there. To access this, you need to create a shortcut to the proper settings menu, and therefore must have LauncherPro installed (dont need to be using it though)
Hold down on the screen like your going to add a widget or shortcut, select 'Shortcut->Activities->Call Settings->All Calls'. Then a shortcut will be copied to the screen on your phone, open it up and scroll to the bottom of that menu and select "Outgoing call vibration"
I was so excited.....but the setting didnt work, but wow I didnt know launcher pro could access so many hidden menus
does this work like regisrty edt on tp2? i sure do miss that app...if not, is there one for android like it?

Is there any way to get a widget to show up in launch menu?
Or maby how to make a "shortcut" to the widget to make it show up in the program menu as a regular program. I guess i would be able to "select" it in the long press search button launch menu.
Maby someone know of an application that does the same as the "total silence" widget. That will say, turn off ALL sound when executed without asking any questions and then set all soundsettings back to previous setting when run again?
Widgets arent meant to be launched like apps..

I am having some trouble with the 2.3.2 by Mur4ik. The problem is when I closed an application like K-9 Mail of Facebook or whatever, it takes about 20 seconds to reload the android home screen. During that time I get only the wallpaper and I have to wait to load the shortcuts and widgets.
Another symptom is when I move from and application to another without closing the first one, and then I go back to the first one through long press on home button, I find the application restarting.
For example if I am at the opera browser and I press home and open K-9 mail or a notebook app, and then long-press the home button and choose opera I find the page gone and it says loading, just like starting the app all over again.
This happens with all apps not only the browser.
Is this because the memory is simply not enough so the phone kills everything not currently active?
or is it a bug in the OS that needs to be looked into?
Apparently there was some app killing the launcher automatically. I looked into it after a friends advice over @modaco and foound that the app "super manager" has an autokill thingy in its widget.
Uninstalled it and testing now.

I bought a Chinese HU off of Amazon. I tried contacting the seller and haven't heard back.

I'm trying to find firmware for this. It was made for a VW Jetta/Golf/Passat.
I cant find the wiki some others have mentioned in other posts related to the factory settings. I am able to get into factory setting using the 8888 code. I would like to know what each setting does before I start messing with them. Such as the power option, "On" and "Remember last". The radio clock keeps the last time the car was on, not the current time (edit: Fixed clock). I also need to find some information about changing the interface buttons to what I want or using a launcher that can still use the FM Radio.
I installed a couple of launchers to try out. Carwebguru so far is my favorite, but it has its limitations. I can't link native "phone", "radio", or "videos" apks.
I installed Nova Launcher Prime to try and build my own themed launcher but the same thing has happened. Can't find the native apps. I tried creating a widget with the menu and selecting the Nova actions, apps actions, and shortcut actions. I found the phone and etc. apps but when I would tap the icons nothing would happen.
I have tried to install other phone and contact apps ie. Phone by Google and an app called Contacts. The apps opens and my contacts are there, but when I tap on a contact I get an error at the bottoms that says something like "app isn't installed" or "No app to open contact". I am able to make calls using "Hey Google" and telling it to call a contact. Why does carwebguru give the options to use these shortcuts to things it can't use?
I can live without FM radio since I can save a collection of music and stream some.

Try this radio.apk. I used it in FCC launcher and it works on my Pumpkin Single DIN. Speedfire is still working on integrating into his quickplayer in FCC.
Go to this link and look for the posting by Darkow on that page for the APK

I'm going to give it a try when I get off work. I was trying to get Nova launcher to open the radio app, but that didn't happen. I did find the Bluetooth for calls and music though.

How did you get the Bluetooth to work in a launcher. I am missing that functionality.
I used Nova launcher to find the system apk for the Bluetooth. My head unit has Bluetooth music, phone calls, and contacts all in one. I will have to see what it was called. Once I found it in Nova launcher, I was able to locate it in carwebguru in order to add it to the home screen.
Edit: the name of the app was: com.ts.MainU

I bounced back to the standard launcher to get a base idea of what it will do. It has a dialer and phone connection, but it does not seem to be able to use Google contacts as the phone book and launcher. What are you using for a contact list?
