Launcher Pro Plus Bug - EVO Shift 4G General

I was wondering if anyone else running launcher pro has a problem with their dock bar being off set when in landscape mode. I tried looking around here and on the launcher pro forums for solution but have come up empty handed.
I attached a screen shot of the issue.

I am wondering if it may be related to a theme you are using. I have been using launcher pro plus for quite a while and have not had this issue, however, I keep customizations really simple.
Good luck!

I thought it might be my theme too, but the problem doesn't show up in ADW launcher. I sould switch back to ADW but the widgets for the calender and friend stream are useful to me.

I had Launcher Pro on CM7 and didn't have any problems....but I never had a theme installed...

Well I gave up. It only does this when I try to use a dock background. So I just keep the dock background to none and its fine.
Wish I could get to work with the backgrounds though they look pretty lol

Which one work on Xperia X10?and which one is the best?
thx all
I use slidescreen pro, though I would use adw launcher or launcher pro if either of them worked on x10. Also, the slidescreen dev has apparently gone awal, doesn't bother me though, it works flawlessly for me
i still havent seen a launcher as fast as the stock one.

i'll watch the review from youtube...
There's a free version on the market to try out which I would definitely recommend before buying. It's very different from regular android. No widgets or shortcuts.
Of replacers that work on x10, zeam would be my second choice, its a bit sense-y. Though gets a but sluggish if you go a while without a reboot
Home++ is the best among the lot........try it.

Helix launcher runs fine for me. It's not bad and some people are saying that it actually conserves battery life if you use it. So you might want to look into that.

Biggest disadvantage (for me that is), is that it only has 3 screens... I've been looking for an alternative the past few days (and so I found this forum), I think I'm gonna try the HelixLauncher Donut.
Will post when I've tested it for some time.
im running helix launcher since yesterday and my battery time has maybe doubled!!
Helix Launcher Donut HERE, the best i ever tested!

I have one of the screens empty, one with the clock and timescpape and another one with 4 shortcuts and the widget with wifi/bt/gps.
How 3 are not enough?
Anyway, i'll give Helix a try, maybe will improve the battery life

After installing a bunch of apps, the menu isn't so useful anymore IMHO. So, I place shortcuts on the home screen, to have quick acces to my most used apps.
At the moment, I've got like 4 shortcuts to games, and shortcuts to apps like Market, Barcode Scanner, YouTube, ASTRO etc. Moreover, I want to have my agenda (SmoothCalendar) on my home screen as well. I had to remove the clock to have SmoothCalandar and TimeScape on the same screen...
There's just not enough space

Well, excepting the widgets, how is helping you to scroll 5 times left or right looking for a shortcut instead of scrolling up or down?
Personally I have tried Panda, Crazy, Zeam, Helix... Probably a few more.
The first two are nice if you like applying full themes (icons, bars, different backgrounds). I liked the possibility to slide up/down between screens in crazy. But in the end, both these two apps slowed my system down too much.
Love the docker in Helix, but at the moment I prefer the 9 screens that Zeam offers. No, I don't slide 5x sideways a lot. But I've collected everything that I need at work on one screen, for training in another, home entertainment on the third, etc.
I have tried SlideScreen a bit, looks very different and professional. However, I couldn't find a way to use other email accounts than gmail, so I gave it up.

Zeam for me.
Zeam - super light weight. HelixDonut had FC's once in awhile.

ADW launcher

Hey all,
So I am not new to Android, but I am new to using a launcher or anything other than regular apps. I want to try the ADW launcher, but I have some questions since I don't really know anything about how launchers work.
Can someone explain to me the very basics of what installing a launcher will do? Also, if I don't like it or don't understand it, can I uninstall and not have to hard reset?
Is there a how-to for using ADW?
Thanks ahead of time!
Install it thru the Android market place just search adw launcher and if you don't like it uninstall like any other app from the Android market

So I can just uninstall and not have to do any reset?
Can you explain to me what a launcher does (briefly)?
Sorry for such a basic question, but hey we all have to learn sometime.
Thanks!
go hear its anderwebs dev page the dev for adw launcher. it should be able to tell you everything about the launcher and show you some picture of what it looks like and what it does. but yea just install from android market and if you dont like just uninstall like any other app without having to reset your device just go to market/downloads then uninstall.
http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/
hears a video of it to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5gRgpuQE_k&feature=fvst
the version in this video is 0.7.1 and it is now on 0.7.8 so theres been plenty of new features since then
I really appreciate the info. I installed it this morning, but couldn't even figure out how to change the settings. I read the instructions on adw's page so I might try again.
My calendar widget wouldn't work and there were also only 5 screens instead of 7. Can you have 7?
Maybe I need to mess with it more. I guess I'm just not sure of the benefits of using it. Will it help my battery last longer? Will the MTS be faster? Or is it more of an aesthetic thing?
thnx
I didn't have any problems with it other than lag here and there. It might just need the dev to do a bit of fine tunning, or could be me with my luck. Nice interface. Good features, and a lot of flexibility. I do like sense though and I think I will just deal with all of TMobiles extra crap for the time being. All in all a great replacement though.
Press the menu key while on the home screen, then you can select the ADW settings. You can have 7 screens if you want.
The HTC Sense widgets will not work outside of the sense launcher.

what he said
also keep in mind that My Modes function will not work with a launcher program. I tried Helix, ADW, and launcherpro and since they seem to be just a "skin" so the apps don't rearrange and stuff when you change modes. It meesses it up. Then when you uninstall you have to set up modes again. Just FYI, not sure if you use the modes or not.
Thanks for all of the info. I don't use modes, but I do like the widgets, particularly calendar and weather. Being able to see what I have to do every day right on the home screen(s) is very helpful!
http://androinica.com/2009/09/24/dont-like-the-android-calendar-widget-get-a-pure-one/
And for the weather/clock I am using beautiful widgets. There are options out there

Check out this Power Widget!

I restored my Sense data and in place of my battery widget this popped up. I'm afraid to remove it because I think it's cool lol.
Hmm. I just replicated it with ADW by adding the power control widget and making it 1x1 in size. A little hard to use, though.

I have this as well i want to reflash but i dont want to lose it and that guy said he used ADW what and where is that I look in the market place there a 100's of apps saing ADW
This thread is ALL the way back from JULY lol how are you guys finding these posts
btw ADW launcher (see link HERE) is just that, a launcher. It's the launcher that comes standard with CM6. Which you can also download from the market.
anytime i search for adw or launcher pro, i always add "-theme"
that should get rid of MOST of the themes.
adw launcher -theme
launcher pro -theme
Looks pretty cool.

Go Launcher Flip Annoyance???!!!

Ok my favorite launcher is go launcher just because of how customizable it is! I find myself using the regular launcher and Zeam alot because they are quick, they would be perfect if you could hide apps in the app drawer. As far as just having something minimal.
I like Go Launcher becuase it has alot of free themes and you can mix and match all there icons and what not. What annoys me is on the Homescreen when you flip the phone the icons wont show back up half the time until you tap the screen. I mean ive tried every video tweak compiled optimized kernels and the only thing that has fixed this problem is the ICS flip animation in bobzhome's new rom. Im thinking becuase the animation refreshes the screen after the flip, but as soon as i turn animations off in display the icons disapear as soon as i flip the screen. I mean im running at 840mhz with 350mb ram free and this happens!!! Does anyone else have this problem or know a fix?
Edit: nvm

Like the phone so far but ..... need help with a hidden menu

Hi,
In every other android based phone I've owned I've always had an option to hide apps I don't use allot so you just drag an app up to the top and there are usually two options: Uninstall and Remove which places it in a vault for safe keeping. This doesn't seep to be present on this phone and I HATE cluttered desktops so I'm a bit bummed about this so I thought I'd reach out and see if I'm not figuring this out.
I am now aware of the right swipe that brings me to some other settings but there is no app vault there for hiding apps I don't use.
Also is there a way to uninstall allot of the bloat ware this phone came with? I use Google apps for most of my needs and Opera as my main browser so having these other apps on board isn't much to my liking and again without a vault of some kind to take them off of hte desktop...... no fun!
I do know about the combining apps into "folders" and renaming them but I'd just like the apps GONE that I don't and never will use.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
You could just download another launcher with the option to vault apps and about the bloatware you can follow this tutorial right here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/how-to/remove-redmi-note-7-bloatware-root-t3925049
Can you recommend a launcher that's stable and good? I've tried a few on my tablets but ended up going back to the default as they were mostly unstable... I'm sure it's going to be different on a phone but it was a bit disheartening to try about 4 launchers on my Lenovo tablet and just didn't like them at all.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Nova Launcher is pretty good
Give a try to poco launcher.
Very stable.
I use Evie Launcher, lightweight amd simple to use

You can try CPL (Customized Pixel Launcher) from playstore. I guess CPL is the best in term of stability, optimizations and LOTs of customization, you wont find in any launcher IMO
No need for Nova launcher or Poco ,new system launcher alfa version ,have new options , swipe up to app drawer..
Hmmm, but if there is an App Drawer in a newer version of the launcher that ships with this phone I wasn't aware of that but the main thing for me, besides the drawer or vault or what ever it's called (too many strange labels to understand what I'm trying to say ) I really need that bit when I'm dragging up to allow me to remove the app from the desktop. In the default there is that weird option that seems to replace the "remove" option.... called "Dual apps" which I have NO IDEA what that's all about and really don't care.
I'm using Poco and it's nice enough. I love the dark theme option but one thing I am missing is when one gets new phone calls or texts the icons in the lower bar area usually changes to indicate how many there are waiting. With the Poco set up there doesn't seem to be any indicators like that... or perhaps it's because I changed the icon set out?? Not sure what's caused that to stop working.... Weird.
Thanks for all the suggestions good people!
