LauncherPro is simply great and superb! :)

Maybe two minor details:

I notice that when you don't put a widget or something else in one of the homescreens and you navigate through the "static" bottom shortcuts with the optical trackpad, it does not scroll to this different homescreen.

This of course makes sense, because it basically navigates through your objects (widgets/shortcuts, whatever)

Also LauncherPro is not that sensitive compared to the SENSE launcher when you want to move a widget from one homescreen to another. When you e.g. have the google search bar, which is a big widget, you have to grab it totally from the opposite side as the direction you want to move it to, to actually move it to a different homescreen. This "problem" is also present in Launcher2 and Helix Launcher. Maybe it is only my Desire, but for SENSE it works much easier.

I can imagine though that other people maybe dislike this being more sensitive, so I was wondering if it was possible to implement some kind of sensitive bar in the options in a future release?

I am not a developer so it is very easy to have comments as I cannot even program something. I am also not aware if these "requests" are possible.

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] TheOriginalKi:
I'm back to LauncherPro now that you can change the shortcuts on the dock. Brilliant! Now it would be perfect if you could remove text labels on the icons like you can in HelixLauncher 2.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Filman:
This launcher is great..the only problem is that i dont include the sense widgets..for that reason i dont use :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] TheOriginalKi:
I don't think it's possible. Sense Widgets are part of the Sense UI. You disable Sense UI by using a different home UI.

Best launcher out awesome work.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ganzgroberUnfug:
hey guys,

maybe someone of you can help me. the problem: using launcher pro 0.3 on the desire makes my background-images do strange things. there is a differnce between the align on the homescreen and on the lockscreen (on the homescreen the image is about 20px more to the bottom, so the is a part missing) ...anybody else with this problem???
[Desire Themes and Apps] Phil750123:
Hey, with launcher pro can you disable it/ or use it as a scene.

I.e. so i can use it when i want, but if i fancy going back to sense i can just load the sense scene i have??
[Desire Themes and Apps] :
You can't use it as a scene, but you can switch between it and default sense ui.

Either through preferences or an application like Home switcher.
[Desire Themes and Apps] .Hodgy.:
is it possible to theme launcherpro to look like froyo?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Tuborgmann:
You could have a look at ADW Launcher, its nice as well and looks like Froyo. It is on the market now as well.
[Desire Themes and Apps] robbiekhan:
I love LauncherPro and it has great potential, the developer is awesome too and actively seeks feedback on his forum/twitter but I will give ADW a try as I used it on my Magic and am glad it's on the Market for my Desire.

that is until I root and flash 2.2 once Modaco release it :p
[Desire Themes and Apps] .Hodgy.:
cheers will be looking into this one :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] mhewitson:
Will try this again as I can now customize the 4 shortcuts!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Tiger33:
LauncherPro is fantastci - I used ot for a while but after being recommended adw launcher I just dont think I can go back

ADW looks the business and its quick ! alot settings too!

I use 750

and 68
[Desire Themes and Apps] fisha21:
Excellent launcher - have tried most of the popular ones, and only this and ADW have survived so far.

Only two things missing-

1. The little notification icons to show which of the 7 homescreens you're on

2. The ability to remove text labels from the home screen icons.

Can't seem to access the developer's website to suggest these - hope he's reading here......!
[Desire Themes and Apps] The Professor:
ADW does both of those. :)

BIG PROBLEM:

after I installed Launcher PRO on my Desire/Froyo, native a2sd stopped to work!

Please check it.

EDIT: I can confirm it, after uninstalling it, all my apps became visible...
[Desire Themes and Apps] kiowa79:
Questions:

1. After installed, how to disable sense and launch always launcher pro?

2. In nexus one if you hace two launchers installed, e.g. helix launcher and launcher pro, the one that you are not using as default is still downloading data thus consuming battery from its widgets. Solution is to uninstall the no default one and remove all the widgets of the android regular launcher.

What happens with launcher pro and Sense in Desire? Can I uninstall in some way sense if I prefer launcher pro? If not possible, is Sense consuming data and battery even I'm using launcher pro as default?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Pyr0x64:
i can confirm all the applications i installed onto the SD are missing in the Launcher Pro app drawer

but it is still possible to add shortcuts to the Launcher Pro screens linking to the missing applications though

[edit] after a reboot, the icons turn into default ones (white box with green android on) but the applications still work
[Desire Themes and Apps] jauhari:
The Default was setting on Handcent but still doesn't work :(

Any solutions?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jabbypants:
With the new updated version you can hold down on the sms icon in the launcher at the bottom and assign what you want to it, i just assigned handsent and all is fine, try removing and downloading it again from the market.
[Desire Themes and Apps] pablo.va87:
You can do it, just press any icon for 2 seconds and change it.

LauncherPro Beta v0.4.0 out now.

v0.4.1 update to fix the "Hide Icon Labels" option.

What's new :

Performance improvements

Tweaked some settings to keep LauncherPro from being touched by most Task Killers. This should solve a lot of force close problems some people had with 0.3.0.

Added a few tweaks which may solve force close issues that some people have been having with some widgets. I can’t seem to get any force closes no matter how many widgets I add, remove, and move, so I cannot test whether these tweaks actually solve these issues.

Increased the speed of the animation when opening the app drawer just a little bit. Soon you’ll be able to customize the speed to your liking

Fixed the bug where rotating the phone while the app drawer was open would close the drawer.

Added option to hide status/notification bar. When it’s hidden, you can bring it up from the menu.

Added option to hide/show the home button on the app drawer. This gives you a cleaner look and more icons on the screen. You can press the back button on your phone to exit it.

Added option to hide icon labels on home screens.

New “Drop to Uninstall” feature. Simply drag an app over to the trash can and hold it there for two seconds, you’ll see a “Drop to uninstall” message pop up.

Added ability to remove/hide dock shortcuts. Long-press on the shortcut that you want to remove and select “Blank”. If you want to bring it back, long press on the area where the shortcut was and set a new shortcut

New dock icon customization options. When you set a dock shortcut, you’ll now get a popup with three options. Default icon to use the application’s default icon. LauncherPro icons to choose from one of the LauncherPro-style (translucent) icons. Custom icon lets you choose any image from your gallery to use as an icon.

LauncherPro-style icons for: phone, contacts, messaging, browser, email, gmail, market, talk, and music. More icons coming soon.

Added missing highlights (when focused or pressed) to non-LauncherPro dock shortcuts
[Desire Themes and Apps] Tiger33:
closing in on adw - nice work

if it gets the feature that makes the drawer like the galaxy then i'll move back
[Desire Themes and Apps] Scottland:
Does anyone know if it would be possible to have the app drawer tabbed so you could have tabs for all apps, default/system apps and user apps? That would be good...
[Desire Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
email the request to him
[Desire Themes and Apps] Odin1979:
Another update, man this guy is awesome! :cool:

What's fixed/new in v0.4.2 :
[Desire Themes and Apps] :
So awesome, RIP ADW launcher. =D
[Desire Themes and Apps] Tiger33:
ooo its getting there

just need galaxy style drawer then i'll move back I think.
[Desire Themes and Apps] robbiekhan:
True.dat :)

now if only I could get the latest update as it's not in the Market!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Odin1979:
Anyone managed to update? it's not appearing on the Market for me :confused:
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bengaal:
yeah for me also not appearing in market..........this morning it was...

now i flashed mcr-3.1 and now i can't find adw-launcher or launcherpro?

someone knows what the problem is? :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] :
Just downloaded it through market on wifi. (froyo)

I can't abandon my 6 extra apps in the subdrawer in the ADW Launcher. That's one of the best things I've seen since I've owned the phone.
[Desire Themes and Apps] :
Really? you need 8 applications available at all times?

This reminds me of people clinging on to the quicklaunch after windows 7 came out.
[Desire Themes and Apps] The Professor:
Need? No. Is it more convenient? Much. Phone, both mails, contacts, messaging, market, the camera and.... something else. All things I don't want to have to hunt for, especially if I'm in a hurry to find them.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Phil750123:
Just made the switch from sense to launcher pro,

looking good from the start, its slick, fast and nice set out. Love the customisation available on it, ( the quick launch at the bottom and to

set the home screen default)

I do miss the sense widgets but im busy trying to find worth while replacements.

Only one havent found are friend stream and email.
[Desire Themes and Apps] keekje:
alot of force close on my desire:( and if i want to set a custom icon it also force close:( apart from that its a awesome launcher:D

Pls Someone link 0.43 tnx

[Desire Themes and Apps] Odin1979:
Two new updates, managed to access the LauncherPro website, APK files are below.

v0.4.3

New “Froyo wide” background for the dock. It’s the same as the Froyo background but it covers all five icons in the dock.

Next/Previous screen shortcuts with dot screen indicators (like on Nexus One/Froyo). Long-press on a dock icon and choose “Homescreens” to access this feature.

v0.4.4

In 0.4.3, I increased the scrolling speed a bit which caused a bit of lag for some users. I’ve set it back to the way it was before. Will add an option to choose scrolling speed soon.

Improved the code for the Nexus One dots. They should perform a bit better.

New Elastic scrolling option: this lets you enable or disable the elastic or “bounce back” effect when scrolling through homescreens. (Advanced settings)

New app drawer opening speed option: Here you can tweak the speed of the opening/closing effect for the app drawer. Zero is the slowest, 10 makes it appear/disappear instantly. (Advanced settings)

APK - http://rapidshare.com/files/395915361/LauncherPro-0.4.3.apk

[Desire Themes and Apps] Nekromantik:

[Desire Themes and Apps] vanja:
I'd say chances for that to happen are too slim even to hope :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] Phil750123:
Dont pin your hopes on that. I doubt it very much that any launcher will be able to use htc sense widgets at all.
[Desire Themes and Apps] deviouscreation:
Both Launcher Pro and ADW launcher were back / visible on the App Market as of last night.

I tried both, but felt that ADW was a much nicer looking and more intuitive interface.
[Desire Themes and Apps] n-j-f:
Typo?

Trying to choose between LauncerPro and ADW.

Anyway, have I found a typo in the Advanced settings screen of LauncherPro 0.4.4?

Under Opening speed it says the same as under Drawer columns lanscape. Does it in everyone's?
[Desire Themes and Apps] nikosrs4:
yeap, it's a little bug.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kinkade:
has anyone found that launcher pro doesnt let their desire sleep, i'm having a problem with my phone not sleeping and i cant work out what it is, spare parts show 100% uptime and the culprit is listed as android system holding a partial wakelock...would that be launcher pro?
[Desire Themes and Apps] nikosrs4:
nope, no such a problem, maybe it's something else.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kinkade:
aaah, something is stopping my phone sleeping, i've had it for months without a problem and now it is 100% awake due to the android system, i've factory reset 4 times now and cant work out what it is, unless its bloody spare parts
[Desire Themes and Apps] kimlindo:
I like this launcher, but as some others already have said, I wont use it until it's compatible with the Sense widgets. Same with ADW. :/

And does LauncherPro let you hide icon labels? I think I've read/seen that ADW lets you do that.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kinkade:
yes you can hide icon labels

i dont think that anyone is compatible with sense widgets as that requires the sense framework to be running, maybe i'm wrong but i havent heard of one
[Desire Themes and Apps] OnlinePredator:
I find LauncherPro beta awesome! It's very fast, and feels more complete than ADW. I found with all the adjustments for speed and bounce etc on ADWwere cool, but I could not get it as smooth as LauncherPro. I also much prefer the ability to set 4 shortcuts on the bottom bar in LauncherPro compared to 2 in ADW. I also noticed the animation in ADW when you bring up the 'drawer' is a little dodgy, you can see the icons go all wobbly while they are brought on to the screen.
[Desire Themes and Apps] lambrospower:
the only thing that bothers me from using launcher pro or adw launcher....i find that adw new version is smoother if you customize the speeds from settings ...is that there isn't any widget that turns on and off the data connection. like the sense widget in settings menu...this is the only thing i can't find a replacement..
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
i use switchpro widget, you can turn the data connection on and off with that, along with everything else.

[Desire Themes and Apps] Tiger33:
strange

alot of love for launcher pro but yet not much for adw

which in IMO is superior

i do like launcher pro but for me adw is alot better.

(Still keep both on my phone)
[Desire Themes and Apps] :
Having to swipe to see 6 more apps defeats the purpose of having multipe persisten shortcuts on the bottom. Might as well just swipe to another homescreen.

That's my main beef with adw. The ability to super tweak the speeds and everything is nice, but launcher pro has them set how I would set them anyways. Launcher pro also hides the home button on the drawer which is super nice.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Tiger33:
you can pinch mate

why would u need to swype?
[Desire Themes and Apps] :
I'm talking about the secondary line of shortcuts on ADW under the two main ones.
[Desire Themes and Apps] lambrospower:
hey the adw launcher pinch method is better and faster than launcher pro....but both are defeated by sense....has anyone tried while on the preview to pinch out any of the screens SLOWLY and see what happens ??? it can't be done in the 3rd party launchers. this is where the perfect is indeed perfect...SPEED+SMOOTHNESS and still none of the 3rd party ones has it completely
[Desire Themes and Apps] Fusio9:
yeah.. thing is, the Sense menu on the bottom is big and quite useless.. let's be honest, it has 4 functions: shows in what screen you are (useless), link to apps (ok), link to phone (ok - it's a phone in the end :P) and link to add widget (useless, just press menu).. and the worst thing is that it is not customizable at all.

with a custom launcher on the other end you have at least 5 links and fully customizable.

so the pinch thing.. is not that big of a problem in my point of view :D

..what is a little bit problematic is the loss of Sense widgets.. mostly the Contacts one which is great.. :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] Odin1979:
LauncherPro Beta v0.5.0 released

Fixed description of “Opening Speed” preference

Fixed (hopefully) problem when setting the drawer opening speed to 10

New LauncherPro-style icons for Google Voice and Camera. More coming soon.

New 3D app drawer. This feature is EXPERIMENTAL. It probably has some bugs and uses more memory than the 2D drawer, so it might cause some instability. Use at your own risk. To enable it, go to Preferences > Advanced settings > Use 3D drawer.

There's also a v0.5.1 update that fixes the scrolling bug.

Updated this morning through the Market.
[Desire Themes and Apps] :
BUG

If you mount the USB while in landscape mode the wallpaper defaults to the "htc sense" static wallpaper for the duration of the mount.
[Desire Themes and Apps] lambrospower:
i agree with you by some way. the customizable shortcuts...i'd like to have 2-3 shortcuts in the bottom..atleast 2...if htc enabled this i think 3rd party launchers will vanish. i am trying to get used to launcher pro too, i am using it all day long today but i think that the speed is better in sense, dunno just my idea maybe.

also i cannot find a decent clock,time,date widget apart from beautifull home which i don't like but it's the only choice...

as for the new updates i think it's great, especially the 3d drawer very nice implemented, incredibly fast (but i don't like it more than 2d)

i'd like to have an option to set a transparency in the drawer background too
[Desire Themes and Apps] nachtschicht:
Really beautiful!! The 3D drawer looks amazing and works so much better then Helix (I don't like the "steps" it makes there).

Just GREAT!! :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] qetuR:

[Desire Themes and Apps] MasDroid:
Thanks for that info, also did not know about that :)

This also works on the very latest version too.
[Desire Themes and Apps] icantdrawanime:
Not sure if this is the place to post it, but i'm having trouble with the handcent popups and launcherpro.

When i use the quick reply on a popup while using the htc sense launcher, the popup shifts to the top of the screen so that I can see what i'm typing.

However, while using launchpro, the popup stays where it is and the keyboard covers up the reply box... Not sure why, but its really annoying.

Any ideas?
[Desire Themes and Apps] JonasDroid:
I'm using Laucher pro and SMS popup app on my HTC Legend without any problems, maybe try SMS popup in stead off handcent.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Odin1979:
Here we go again! :cool:

v0.5.2 is out, what's new :

Support for scrollable widgets like Pure Messenger.

Option to disable wallpaper scrolling. This will keep your wallpaper centered at all times.

New icon “glow” highlights. When you press/select an icon on a homescreen or the app drawer, they will show a glow around the icon instead of the usual yellow/orange box. You can disable this in the preferences.

Option for high quality scrolling. This will keep your icon and widget graphics in high quality while scrolling. Be warned this will reduce scrolling smoothness though.

Option to set minimum scrolling speed. The homescreen scrolling speed depends on how fast you swipe your finger. This will let you set a minimum speed, so that even if you swipe your finger slowly, LauncherPro will scroll *at least* as fast as your minimum scrolling speed.

Option to set screen previews opening speed. Lets you tweak the speed of the screen previews opening/closing animation effect.

Option to have 2 homescreens. You can now choose from 2 to 7.

Made the background of open folders translucent. Also fixed a small visual glitch in open folders’ header graphic.

New LauncherPro style icons for Maps, Navigation, Twitter and Facebook.
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
have the exact same problem

i really wish it would get fixed, i use handcent because of the popups and it has come to the point where i have to disable it, it happens too often.

sms popup has been given very bad reviews by people on the desire..
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
the most interesting 2 features for me in 0.5.2 is the scrolling for the pure messenger widget and keeping the wallpaper from moving when changing homescreens.

however i still can not get pure messenger widget to display ANY facebook data, i have tried every option i really do not understand what i am doing wrong

i was also hoping that by keeping the wallpaper motionless when changing homescreens would eliminate the lag with live wallpapers however this is not the case, does anyone else experience this?
[Desire Themes and Apps] kmetek:
