[Launchers/Home Replacements] Launcher Pro Beta

The one i am using at the moment, is very very fast with alot of options check it out.
Launcher Pro Beta.. its on the market
http://www.launcherpro.com/
Very snappy screen switching!
here are some screen shots

0.4.1 ?
i only have 0.30 via the market :/

0.4.4 is out. market has a problem so grab the apk from www.launcherpro.com

I think that this is the best launcher replacement by far. Very smooth and light.

I love this launcher as well.
I have a stupid question however. They talk about "drawers" a lot...what is this feature?

I prefer Launcher Pro to the other apps I have tried like Helix, ADW - loving the amount of customisation you can do with it and how snappy it is as well.
As for a 'drawer' well thats the part you pull up where all your apps are found

Is that all? Why do they make it sound like such a huge feature? I have been looking for a widget or setting and found nothing.
Thanks for clearing that up for me

I have 0.4.4 version. Best launcher for me, better than adw launcher

So, What the name of the clock-htc-like-widget?

Dock on LauncherPro
Can someone tell me how to change the icons on the dock. I know if you hold on them you get a very specific list of things you can put on their but gmail and the calendar arent even ones you can pick. I like those on my dock. is that possible??

Just pick "Applications" from the menu that comes up when you long press an icon and it'll bring up a second menu with a list of your installed apps

it is beautiful widgets and the widget is beautiful home

I've tryed many launchers, but Launcher Pro is the fastest one. Helix1 is a little slower.

WEATHER WIDGET DONATE. i think that skin was black swirls or swirly, something like that.
I prefer to to beautiful widgets.

fancy widget is really nice too.

Froyo Bugs
Has anyone else encountered the problem of not being able to install custom icons? It fc's
Also, LauncherPro on Froyo has an app2sd problem that sd apps do not load until LauncherPro is restarted.
I was thinking about using the Script Scheduler I found on this site to kill then restart LauncherPro at every boot, but my bash skills are woefully inadequate. Anyone think they can give me a hand?

[Q] Where can i find this clock/weather widget?

Hey guys, got a little question i hope you can answer!
I'm after the clock/weather widget in this screenshot from the Shadowfrost theme
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've seen it in a few places.
I understand the clock is the simi clock and the weather is fancy widgets (which i have both) but i'm not sure how to get them looking like they do in the above screeny.
When i try and apply a skin to the fancy widgets 4x1, it doesn't seem to take affect and just looks like it did to start with.
Also, how do you get the long line to part through both widgets? I know you can stretch the simi clock down but it won't let me use the same line to seperate the fancy widget.
Thanks in advance
Matt

you need luncher pro (you can change widget`s size) , place simi clock on the same end, and just stretch over other widgets

Thanks for the reply. I've already tried doing that but it won't let me because the widgets will conflict with each other, won't let me overlap them.
Also, does anyone know why when I apply a skin to beautiful widgets weather, it doesn't work, it just remains the same.

This shouldnt be the case with Launcher Pro.
If you can setup all of your widgets on the screen, while leaving enough space for the clock widget in its default size you should be fine. As all you do then is press, hold and release the clock widget the stretch it over the other widgets.
The only problem you will run into is then if you wish to manipulate one of the other widgets or the clock widget its self you will have to either remove the clock widget entirely first, or drag it to an empty screen, resize it and drag it back once you have made the required changes.
Hope this helps, was probably written in half jibberish.

Check my signature.
Oh and make sure your SD card is mounted. All Beautiful skins are downloaded to your SD card, so if it's unmounted you'll be stuck with the standard skin.

Thanks again guys, managed to sort it.
For some strange reason i thought i was already using LauncherPro (got the Ultimate Droid rom). Bought LauncherPro Plus and it worked straight away
Thanks again!

[Q] HTC Desire - Increase Panels

Hi Devs
Is there a way to increase the number of Sense Panels from 7 to 9.
I know that with different luncher we can achieve more panels for widgets, but we loose HTC widgets
Best regards
Vitor

I know it's not what you're looking for (i don't know if what you want can be done) but launcher pro has some excellent widgets that match the sense ones easily (i use bookmarks, contacts and calendar (wich is alot better than sense!!!)) apart from fixing other sense issues (like the laggy app draw) and can be very very pesonalised!!! Try it out, i did and never came back!!!
PS: to get the launcher pro widgets you have to get the paid version but it's very cheap and well worth it!!!
PPS: if you miss the sense clock, fancy widget is a clock widget that is at least as good as senses and can be personalised alot more!!

I agree. I've been a die-hard LauncherPro user since its early days
However, the maximum number of homescreens is still 7 with LauncherPro. Although I love the customisation options that comes with LP.
Much snappier than Sense too

Work around
Some launchers can use more that 7 homescreens but do not have sense widgets.
And as started before, LauncherPro has some sense style wigdets.
I use LauncherProPlus with 7 homescreens, so if in the future I require more homescreens, I can just tap the red android on my main homescreen to quickly switch to original sense set-up. You could use it the other way around, with sense as your main launcher and LauncherPro as your secondary launcher., giving you a maximum of 14 homescreens.
Unfortunately I can not remember if LauncherPro (free market version) has the option I am about to describe, you would have to try it.
To set this up, you would need LauncherPro (possibly paid version LauncherProPlus), Desktop VisualizeR (free market app) and a .png image of your choice (in my case, the red android) copied to you sdcard.
Set-up using sense launcher
After installing Desktop VisualizeR and LauncherPro, set sense as the default launcher for when you press your home button.
In sense launcher. Long press a homescreen and choose "Widget" under the "Add items to Home" section.
Choose the size of Desktop VisualizeR widget you like.
Click "Select Icon" and pick "Image File". Find the image you wish to use.
Back on the Desktop VisualizeR menu screen click "Select Action", then "Other", then "Activities". Wait while LauncherPro compiles the list. Scroll down to the first "HTC sense" submenu and choose "HTC Sense/ com.htc.launcher.Launcher".
The other options I chose in Desktop VisaulizeR were:
"Label" = None, just tap the "Clear" button.
"Label Color" = Not used so ignored.
"Touch Effect" = None, the available colours do not suit my theme.
This how both launchers main homescreens look for me.

How to change launcher icons?

I hate the icons that motoblur uses for the stock apps on the phone (camera, dialer, browser, etc.). I have been searching all over for a solution but cant find anything. I'm using Launcher Pro Plus and want to know how I can change the icons that show up in the app drawer to the stock Froyo icons. Thanks!

you can probably download a theme icon pack for lp+
at least on adw that's what i can do..

Go Launcher let u change it with ease

root your phone, download ninjamorph, load up blur-res.apk, find ic_launcher_(app you want to replace).png from an AOSP rom and use it to replace the one in blur-res.apk in ninjamorph. finish project. done.

it's real simple. find some icons you like and place them on your sdcard. On your homescreen (if you are using Launcher Pro), long press a blank area, and choose "Shortcuts". then, at the top of that screen, choose "Applications". Once you find your application (say Maps), then click the old icon above the app name and you can browser your gallery app for a replacement icon. click the icon you want to use as a replacement then click ok. now you have a different icon for that app on your homescreen. This is the easiest way to do it without editing your framework-res files, etc. NOTE: this only changes the icon on the homescreen, it will still be the original icon in the app drawer. It takes a bit of time to do this, but well worth it IMO.
EDIT: I just re-read your OP, this won't change the icon in the app drawer, only the homescreen... [/facepalm]
