I prefer the look of stock launcher, but LP does have many features+sense widgets on paid version.

I know you asked about launcher.pro but I figured I would chime in. I use adw.launcher . It get the job done and I like the features like the button binding, themes... ect. However I do like how stock 2.2 looks.
And I'm using 5 screens right now.

I am currently usimg Lopez, Andre hace sinse about a week from getting my G2. 8 have tried all...stock, lp, and adw...and I prefer lp.
I'm using 7 screens and customized everything...working with swipes, and custom shortcuts. I have designated my screens for specific functions...dev, media, schedules, main screen, news, twitter/facebook, app folders....this setup works very well for me, as seldom have to get to app drawer and search for the app that I want.
Stock, was a bit boring, and adw, was ok...no real distinction from lp oyher than the ability to define themes....I guess I can live without them.

I'm using LauncherPro with 5 screens.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

I've used both and I prefer to use LauncherPro Plus because I like to customize my phone a lot. I like the fact that you can adjust the size of widgets, customize icons on the dock, and the home button (which is customizable) when on the home screen shows you different desktops (reminds me of my Macbook). The last one I'm not sure if stock does or not.

Froyo dock. I jusft tried it out and I like how u can add apps on the sides!

Launcher Pro with 3 screens. I like the swipe gestures and ability to hide app names.

I use Launcher pro plus with five screens, three docks, and swipes all configured. I love it for the customization capable and how easily I can use my phone after it was all set up.

I use launcherpro with 7 screens. One dock. Custom dockbackground. Widgets everywhere.

I would use Launcher pro but the app drawer doesn't look as nice and work as smooth as stock launcher. It's somewhat smooth with overclock and no live wallpaper but with them it's a bit jumpy.

ADW.Launcher. Once LP gets a swipe gesture by which I can pull down the notification bar by swiping down anywhere on the screen, I might switch to that for its widget. Oh and I like the Galaxy S implementation of the app drawer option in ADW as well.

I might bathe only liner still using stock, but I luv it

Good launchers to try are:
1. Launcherpro, lots of good feature
2. Adw launcher, free and lots of good features, even more for paid version
3. Go launcher ex, somewhere inbetween launcherpro and adw pro. And completly free
4. Nemus launcher, a interesting very fast and stable launcher
5. Claystone launcher, has a lot of odd, yet good features, just try it
And as for netfront, beyond just being rooted, what rom are you running?

ADW or Launcher 7

ADW Launcher! Or Zeam Launcher if you like slim.
Launcher 7 if you like the seven+ project

Launcher pro all the way!

what features did you like in all the launchers you've used? For the longest, I used ADW. Lot's of options and feature rich. Launcher pro is great but I preferred ADW's dockbar. Zeam is also great bec. it's simple and very minimal...

The one thing I missed from Sense was the different scenes. Instead, I use the Launcher Pro for work/home. I use ADW launcher for running/biking. I use homeswitcher to go back and forth. Also will occasionally switch to slidescreen and netfront from when out at night.

I like adw and launcher pros customization and go launchers themes and certain customization features and regina launcher is great just needs sum more customization I really love the workspaces and I'm trying to try netfront but I just can't get it to load which is really annoying me but I'm lookin for sumthing with all the customization so I can make it my own and not look so plain. Or maybe I'm asking for too much lol

I tried installing it, worked fine, but I thought it was kinda ****ty compared to SPB so I deleted it right away. Check out my screenshots. SPB is the best, most polished hands down. Just needs some customizability to come it's way

What this ROM is:
Rooted (Superuser/Busybox)
Debloated
Desensed
Slightly Themed (Jdk/Nocoast/UOT Kitchen)
Tweaked
Base 2.11.605.9 (Jrocker23)
AOSP Launcher2 and Lockscreen for now...
What this ROM isn't:
Something really creative. A good portion of the theme came from JDK/Nocoast's ROM, and the UOT.
Fully tested. I whipped this up in about 2 days.
Completed. I will be working on this in my spare time.
Custom kernel-ified. Uses the stock HTC kernel.
Without further ado, here is the DL:

Flash this ^^ in recovery.
(mirrors are allowed, just PM me if you create one)
CHANGELOG IN POST 3
Flash as you would any other ROM, wipe chache and dalvik, if something doesn't work try a clean install, you know the drill by now.
I'm not accountable for anything you did to your phone, you chose to flash it, not me.
To set up a google account, go to the market.

Links dead. Looking forward to flashing though!

CHANGELOG:
v1:
-initial release (my first rom EVAR!!!)
v2:
-replaced some stuff with AOSP (Calendar, Calculator, Clock)
-removed recent apps
-removed GPS reticle and USB debugging icon
-added 6 bar signal
-added reboot menu
-added back a couple useful things I deleted... woops
-changed build.prop to show my ROM's name as opposed to Jrocker23's
-uhhhhhhhh, maybe some other stuff that I can't think of.
v2.6:
-revert to HTC calendar (it works)
-revert to 4 bar signal (6 bar was incorrect)
-removed a couple unnecessary apps.

Awesome! Thanks, this ROM really is awesome. For anyone looking for a minimalist install, I'd recommend this... it certainly takes a bit longer to get everything back if you're not using titanium backup, but its worth it.

Try installing normally, if that doesn't work, put it in system/app and reboot.
If nothing else works, try a clean install.

It does have the clock. This rom is real smooth. Only thing id like to see are 8 in 1 pull down for settings. Besides that, this is better than aosp. Great work dude.

Go launcher lagging.

So I've been using cm9 for like 2 weeks along with go launcher. And I always noticed it being slow and always lagging and not smooth at all. So today I went back to thunderhawk and was amazed of how quick it was and was just amazed by it until I restored go launcher and I ended up with the same performance as I had on cm9 or even worseee. So I uninstalled it and wiped cache and dalvic and did a fresh install off the market and started to customize it and noticed that the more settings I change and the more apps I add to the homescreen the worse and worse it became.
I really don't even have all that much things. Just 3 pages, 3 widgets, 4 apps, and 4 bookmark shortcuts. And with only those it is very slow.
So I'm using tw launcher now and the whole ROM is amazing now.
Anyone notice this with go launcher? Anyone know any similar launcher that doesn't lag? What I'm looking for is the ability to custom choose icons from gallery, a scrollable dock, and some cool transition animations for homescreens + app drawer.
I know some may have these like adw launcher and launcher pro but I wanna see what you guys think is the best out of them all cuz I know there is some that I don't even know about.

Nova is "very" customizable and does support custom icons. Nova and Apex are right on the same level, and are both worth purchasing the licensed features. On Apex I randomly get lag in the app drawer, though. So I have since stuck with Nova since it's been flawless for me.

Well Apex is the same guy who made LauncherPro.
But i actually like NOVA better customization and barely any lag whatsoever.
With any lag issues that i have its because i'm using conservative for the cpu governor instead of OnDemand.
But both are very great and as well worth the money.

Holo is slightly more updated for GB devices. It works for GB, ICS, and Jellybean. Icons can be changed. Small footprint is why I switched.

Maybe 1-2 times a week. I've only used Apex Launcher, wondering if it's more specific to that app?

If anything go into apex settings and click on restart app. It'll lake care of it. That's how I did it

Hmm, I use stock launcher (i like that the best), why don't you try that? Otherwise, wipe dalvik and cache. If that doesn't fix your problem in a week, reflash, use Synthetic AospX, thats the most up to date. Or you can try jellybean, i like Dark Jellybelly (now toasted marshmellow or something) the best for jelly bean. If neither of those work, considering going to glacier one v or something sense like.

I have the issue once in awhile on newer ics ROMs using nova or trebuchet. Listen to Synthetic.Nightmare. He's spot on.

Found it - I'm using Dark Unicorn right now, it was in the AOKP settings under 'General UI'. I haven't encountered this scrambled text recently but when I do I'll try your trick.
Thank you!

I was having this issue in DU 2.5 also. The only solution I found was killing the app itself. And it wasn't related only to Launcher (I used Apex). I got this issue in PowerAmp too (and any others apps), and have to kill it to fix.

I've seen this, but it goes away after killing the app or a hot reboot works ...

I found out that this scrambled font bug usually never happens when using the default launcher for ICS 4.0.3 it doesn't have all the customzations as apex but is smoother imo an the icons an dock can be theme using the theme chooser .

Be sure to move to system/apps an give rw r r permission installing as a regular will give you a force close when adding apps from widget tab if not a system app other than that this launcher is beast.

Turn on long press back to kill in settings and kill the app when it acts up. That's been a long time ics bug.

I have found it is usually Apex Launcher. I have had it happen a few times and I usually just restart it to clear it up. Worst case, reboot the phone...
