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?

Launcher 2 is the default android homescreen that debuted with 2.0.
This launcher 2 has 7 homescreens instead of froyos 5.

this is because this rom is stock froyo based rom , not sense rom if any one can extract the stock froyo dialer , it will fix this issue

You cant just add the stock froyo dialer to a sense build because its embedded in sense frameworks

How is the voice mail volume with this google voice version? The current market version is horrible on my samsung captivate.

working great on my Nexus One with MCR r21.

Will this work on non froyo roms ? tried to install on my captivate but it didnt show up in the widgets.

I would also like to know if these widgets work in non froyo roms

Formatting on the inbox widget is a little off on my LauncherPro Cyanogen 6 myTouch. Other than that, it works great! Thanks!

I installed the new google voice and widgets on my stock Droid X(2.1) and they are both working fine.

Works on my Captivate

Just downloaded it and sideloaded it on my Captivate, and it works good. Got the widgets and all. I wonder why they aren't showing up on yours.

did you uninstall the original google voice before installing this new one ?

I figured it out, you have to uninstall the original google voice before installing the new one.

[Q] MIUI icon background

Launchers of like Touchwiz, iPhone, MIUI and DELL android tablet use those squared backgrounds for the icons on their home screen.
I've searched XDA for a themer/dev who has done this but no luck.
People seem to rather remove the iPhone's icon style but I think it looks nice.
Now I want to achieve this effect on a Sense or non-Sense based ROM without photo shopping every icon.
So is there a way to mod a Standalone Launcher like LauncherPro or ADW to have this icon style?
I'd love to help if any dev wants to give this a shot.
Thanks.

I know there are roms with those iphone-style backgrounds... here is one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688687
*note this rom is only compatible with the eris* *it has been ported to other htc phones though*

Also the mytouch slide has bubbles behind each icon,
Also if you install touchwiz3.0 launcher (ripped from a galaxy s phone) it puts a random coloured sqaure behind each icon, im sure you can edit those square to have what you want
Edit: Those bubbles are what is featured above

Thanks for the replies, the thing is I want this effect on the HTC Desire which I have installed a Sense ROM (Froyo) on.
I would rather not which to another ROM just to have squared backgrounds.
This is why a Launcher would be the perfect solution.
I think the touchwiz3.0 launcher wouldn't work on my ROM but I'll try!
EDIT: I tried the touchwiz and it works! But the "bubbles" only show in the app drawer.
Here's a *.png of a square I made.

download bettercut from the market, then download an iphone icon set from market and apply icons to whatever you want through bettercut.

That would leave me making icons for apps who don't have an iPhone icon.
I'm not looking for that kind of solution.
I want it to have a square behind every icon automatically so to speak.
The DELL tablet ROM and the MIUI ROM does exactly what I want but.
I looked to port it over but that wouldn't work as the whole thing is different.

I've been searching for the same thing, with no luck. The Touchwiz launcher only puts the icon backgrounds on the dock, like you said, and I can't find the modified launcher that the MyTouch 4G uses to put on my EVO.
I'm currently running MIUI, which is awesome, except my battery life is pretty terrible compared with the stock (or modified stock) Sense ROM.
I guess I'll keep searching, and if anyone has any more suggestions, please post them here.

ADWLauncher EX can do this. It's not free though. I am sure it is possible to code it into any Launcher, but how you do that is beyond my capabilities.

Cool. Thanks!

Awesome! Just bought it, now I'm downloading the latest EViO ROM and dumping MIUI- the random restarts (although seldom), the wifi drops, and the terrible battery life unfortunately outweigh the really nice UI.

I just read out about it at http://goo.gl/YncFW and I kinda liked it, so thought I'd share it here on xda.
I have done no modifications. So it would also work on some other phones.
I only tested on my desire.
hope u like it
Bugs: Doesn't auto-rotate (Oxygen 0.1.1)
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/JVJ2JZIBDC
Tip: Install widgets before the launcher itself (StageLauncher-release.apk) to get the full experience

This looks amazing! Ill give it a try asap

it works on defrost or sense roms? or all?

Unzipping the files to my SD Card right now.

Pff looks really nice, works smooth to!
Only thing is i cannot sign into Facebook...entered the correct username+password. Says it's incorrect...
One other thing, when i press the phone icon in the launcher bar it says that the needed application isn't installed. Can i clear these settings to use stock Desire dialer? Or can i download the Dell dialer somewhere?

It looks really nic, but I'm having the same issues (facebook problem+phone icon) + when I try to set up an email account it says "com.dell.launcher has stopped unexpectedly"..
would be great to be able to scroll upd and down in the music widget instead of showing 12 random albums..

It wont recognise the phone app because the froyo launcher only recognises the stock Android dialer, which can't be installed on HTC phones. Made a thread on this, Google search stock froyo launcher HTC desire and its the first one. Haven't tried it with this dell skin yet, just got everything sorted on my on phone so not gonna mess with it for a good while!

This works fine. Except for the Facebook and email widget.

Well, if 2 out of 5 widgets don't work you can't really say that it "works fine", right?

Wow, i love the launcher and the gallery and music widget. Is it somehow possible to use the widgets with the sense launcher or the sense widgets with the sense launcher?

[Q] Some stuff from 2.1 in CM7?

Well I recently rooted my wildfire to CM7 and was disappointed to find a few things missing:
Firstly the agenda and and calender widgets (the one that has the full agenda on a screen, and the other showed a whole month on the screen) these have been invaluable to my productivity, and I have scoured the market place and can't find anything close to them, does anybody know how to get them back?
And finally, is it possible to get the old camera app back? the new one has this stupid frame around it (feel like I'm using my S310 again...) I can't find any apps that adequately replace the camera either
thanks in advance!

You are talking about Sense apps, which are impossible to have in CM7 because it is AOSP based (without Sense). There is no way to have what you ask.

A great full screen calendar widget is the one included in Launcher Pro, paid version.
As for a great camera replacement app, I recomend searching the apps area of this forum for the MIUI camera app. Ignore the MIUI gallery, it`s crap. Get QUickPic instead.

just use miui camera , its like the one from sense

Great! I was looking for an alternative camera after installing the 7.0.2 cyanogenmod. I hate the borders around that camera app.

thanks for all your help guys, can somebody tell me if the gallery is also sense? with the swiping in full screen to change and the multitouch zoom?

go for android widgets. they will work both on SENSE and AOSP based roms.
sense widgets (htc) work only on sense roms.
