Well I got the pro inserted and now im trying to figure out how to get the net workin. Im thinking ojust upgrading to the android plan or getting a new number. Now I need help with that. I've already transfered my number to the droidx and it kept sendinme through the boot loop when I would do the autostart.sh that is found on another forum... so now I ned help figuring this out so I can reswitch it to the droid x again. Or just upgrade the plan and I would need to find the right settings for that... thx for the reply btw.
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
Did you do this?

Open QPST Service Programming

You should see your phone listed in the list. Select it, click Start

Clients>Service Programming. When it opens select your phone and click OK in

the Service Programming screen.

On the bottom left click a button labeled Read from Phone, a box will

popup, there should be 000000 already typed in, click OK. this may take a

few minutes.

Go to the M.IP tab. Click on the entry in the User Profile box and click

Edit. Make sure that NAI and Tethered NAI both read xxxxxxxxxx@mycricket.com

(replace the x's with your 10 digit phone number). If they don't, type it

in. Also make sure Home Address, Primary HA Address and Secondary HA Address

read 0.0.0.0 if they don't, change them. Click OK

While still on the M.IP tab make sure Mobile IP Behavior is set to Mob +

Simp f/back. And make sure Active User says 0.

Go to the PPP Config tab. Click UM button. In the PPP Authentication

section make sure Tethered NAI and User ID reads xxxxxxxxxx@mycricket.com

(replace the x's with your 10 digit phone number) and Req PW enc is checked

and type cricket in for the password.

While still in the PPP Config tab click the AN button. In the PPP

Authentication section make sure User ID reads xxxxxxxxxx@mycricket.com

(replace the x's with your 10 digit phone number) and Req PW enc is checked

and type cricket in for the password. Tethered NAI should be blank.

Now on the bottom click Write to Phone. May take a few minutes and your

phone may restart.

Flash the Cricket V10 zip and download autostart root from the market
[Droid X General] akaruna:
Yup, except for the v10 zip. No mention of that before...
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730289

Just flash it in ROM Manager
[Droid X General] Ben's:
I've talked to a couple of folks on the V10 token. Some say it has no relevance and one said it might actually harm your phone since it's not even made for the Droid X specifically. I tried it and it didn’t do anything. It came to be that my MNC in my APN was incorrect.

Without doing a full SBF on your phone, there array of issues you might have are to wide to diagnose. You need to start over and not use your backup. If the problem still persists then let us know but I doubt it will if you did the Cricket flash properly.

Have you changed your APN settings as well? I use anycut from the market to edit and save it.
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
I've always used it and it does help. It has never broken my X. I don't know why why it doesn't work for you but I've used it on my old ERIS, Droid X, and my wifes DInc.
[Android Apps and Games] zzelinka:
I love it, paid for it, and use it every day. Why can't he keep his customers and the community updated on progress? How hard is it to post updates on the website? I'm sure he has time to do it more than once a month. Anyone else agree? Just kinda frustrating...

All I am asking if for some one line updates every once in a blue moon.

- Z
[Android Apps and Games] cjward23:
LPP all ready has **** loads of functionality runs fast and smooth (for me at least). It only had abig update quite recently.

I can't say for certain but I imagine a lot of time and effort goes in to getting apps ready for us peeps that have no coding or dev knowledge.

Things are ready when there ready if you impatient create your own launcher
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
Right now Fede is actually re-coding the entire launcher from the ground up, so don't expect any new features or anything until that gets finished. The transitions update was mainly to keep the competition with ADW EX.

Also as the launcher is (for most people, myself included) flawless, it isn't like he needs to release bug fixes or anything.
[Android Apps and Games] zzelinka:
I have no problem with him or the program. He teases an update in a week on the website and then we get nothing for a month. Is one line that hard? I know he is recoding the entire program, but customer service is key. If he wants to make money and thrive, he needs to keep his people in the loop.
[Android Apps and Games] zzelinka:
And I'm not going to write my own launcher app.

[Android Apps and Games] bluskyline21:
Right now, the only thing LP has on ADW is custom docks. If LP would incorporate drawer themes like ADW does, it'd be perfect IMO.
[Android Apps and Games] fatthumb:
If you are not happy, feel free to switch to another Launcher ;)

I think he is not out to make money, if you notice the free version has got all the features except LPP widgets. Why don't you send him an email rather than vent your anger here (probably he won't read this anyway)?
[Android Apps and Games] masully1984:
Agreed.

I can't believe you actually started this thread, it's pointless.

CM7 nightly
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
I switched from LPP after his last sabbatical of updates. He felt pressure from ADW when those videos about the transitions came out, and hadn't had an update for two months.so he put out a "bug fixes and new drawer" thing or whatnot. Then ADW came out with their update right after with transitions. Then Fede came out with a small update with the transitions. Only to be topped by ADW with the ability to customize your dock.

Only thing that HONESTLY is saving Fede...is the widgets. It's the only thing people talk about in the threads, the market, his site, are those. And I'm sure if signals23 wasn't theming them..people would be over them as well.

Bottom line [not judging either], if ADW gets Colorize to work strictly for them [since lpp wont] between those widgets..and adw will simply trump lpp. Theres not much Fede can "rewrite"..honestly. In November he started the rewrite.. December said it'd be here before christmas... Pushed it to new years. Then MLK weekend. Then February. Well..it's almost March...
[Android Apps and Games] Try4Ce:
He certainly got a point there. I am too a customer of LPP and I really love this Launcher because of the smoothness, the Widgets and everything. Always fall back to LPP. But I feel pressure coming from ADW, and GO Launcher seems to develop quite good as well, on top this one is free.

The last few Updates to LPP were rather minimal and not really satisfying. Sure, transitions are a nice addition, but oh well... The Widgets certainly could use a touchup / improvements, whilst the customizabilty needs more variations as well as the App Drawer.

I would LOVE to see the final product of Fede with his rewrite. I am 100% certain that it will kick ass, but that only makes it harder for me to wait.
[Android Apps and Games] zzelinka:
Not sure why this is pointless. Just as pointless as the "What's your favorite app" threads that pollute this forum. I can vent just liked anyone else. Just as you did...

- Z
[Android Apps and Games] add144:
This is absolutely pointless, just like the "What's your favorite app" threads are absolutely pointless and people like you need a journal to write in or something.

No one cares what you think, and especially no one wants to hear your whining. No one cares what your favorite app is either or whether you like chocolate versus vanilla.

If someone has something constructive and worth while to discuss, that's perfectly fine, but when it comes to *****ing, whining, and random, meaningless opinions and/or preferences, no one cares.

Saying its okay for you to do it because everyone else does is no excuse. Like your mother said, If everyone else jumps off a bridge are you going to do it too?
[Android Apps and Games] monstermax19:
ADW Ex now has custom docks. At this point, it's not so much features that make the launcher decision, it's the user's preference. Personally, I like LPP's implementation of dock scrolling better than ADW's. The widget implementation is better looking on LPP, as well. Even the screen animations look smoother and better put together on LPP, even though they're a new feature.

So we'll come to a point where features will be identical, but it looks like people will be paying attention to which one has the more solid programing rather than features.
[Android Apps and Games] lagu805:
LPP is one of the best launcher out there.. if you dont like it, you can simply switch to another..
[Android Apps and Games] syrenz:
LPP is great. I too am very eager to see the new rewrite, but I understand it takes time to get finished. I'd rather Fede spent the time making it as awesome as it can be (and I have faith that it will be quite awesome) than pushing it out as fast as he can.

That being said I would love to get a somewhat accurate idea of a release date or even a feature list... but yeah, should be good when it's ready.
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
I used to be a LPP fanboy too until I got caught up in too many unkept promises. Might as well just do like other app developers and not promise anything and just surprise us with an update in the market.

Home replacements and apps like these shouldn't have "changelogs"
[Android Apps and Games] Vulpix:
The only thing stopping me from leaving LPP is the Friend widget and the calender. Pure Calender does not have that same view where you can flick to the next month, and it's ugly. Colorize does not have a combined view of facebook and twitter.
[Android Apps and Games] jasonjoo:
LPP's performance is top notch, and I don't need much more from a launcher than that. The widget resizing and the dock options are nice too. I haven't really used ADW much, but whenever I had to use it initially after installing a new version of CyanogenMod, the thing was always sluggish.

I don't know, I paid for what I got, and I don't mind if there's no new feature updates. Considering the value I got for LPP, I don't mind if there are no further feature updates.
[Android Apps and Games] jsimpson:
Then quit *****ing... it's pretty simple. If you can't do a better job then how are you going to tell him how to do something you clearly have no knowledge of?

It's not like LauncherPro is this man's main source of income. I'm pretty sure he's got a life outside of writing an app that may take priority (like almost every other dev/coder/developer).

If you're unhappy then switch launchers.
[Android Apps and Games] Worsty:
Launcher Pro has (last i check but i could be wrong since i don't specifically read up on changes for ADW Ex) another advantage over ADW Ex that keeps me loyal besides the calender widget.

It's the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. That definately helps to keeps my app drawer neat and tidy.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr. Steve:
I agree that when Fede says an update for LPP users is coming in a week that it should be released in a week. So instead of doing that I think Fede should adopt the strategy that Google does with it's apps like Maps and Gmail. Their updates just show up one day suddenly. They do this because of stuff like why this post was originally created. I remember when Maps 5 was demoed on the Honeycomb prototype and Andy Rubin said about a week and it took about two. Suddenly on the Maps comment page everyone was like "where's the 5.0 update?" Also like someone pointed out, I'm sure Fede has an actual life like most, if not all, developers do. If you are really pissed by the way he does things than switch to a different launcher (I've heard Go launcher is good, and free, but I've only ever used stock and Launcher Pro Plus) until Fede does release the kick butt rewrite that he's working on.
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
But you can group apps in a completely different app drawer group for that on adw.

Say if you want games. Bam.. tap left or right, have your games, your social networks, your business apps.

So what you saying?
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
The reason I pick LP over ADW is ram consuption. Lp uses 8-10 mb whilst adw uses around 15-20 mb

Sent from my non-rooted, stock eclair Epic.
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
He's saying exactly what he's saying. You can HIDE apps you NEVER use. If you're not rooted, there are DOZENS. Blockbuster, NFS, etc, etc, etc...

Yes, you can seperate your useless apps into whatever category you want. In LPP, you NEVER even know they are there. With the use of folders on my homescreens, and this feature, I only have 10 apps in my app drawer (just ones that I need to get to from anywhere). This is an excellent feature.

The LPP vs ADW EX thing breaks down like this: Nobody ever complains (unless lying to prove a point) that LPP is slow or laggy. It's not. On any phone, it's incredibly smooth. Read any review ever. They will all say it's the smoothest launcher to date. ADW fanboys are reading this and will say "I don't know what you're talking about, LPP seemed laggy on my (insert device)". It didn't. And we know you didn't actually try it. We get it, you like ADW.

ADW will (and should) always be ahead of the curve with features. Why? Because there is more then one guy doing all the coding/customer service/web site maintenance. They can pump these features out. The problem is that it all adds to how much memory you use, and the more features you throw in, the more sluggish you become (especially because ADW was written based off of android 2.x, whereas the new LPP will be completely apart from the android base). Fede is doing the smart thing. He's known for his speed and his smoothness. If he can't match ADW in feature output, he can ensure that rewriting this app will ALWAYS make it so LPP is faster then ADW. And people like myself, who don't care for ADW's feel (I find it not nearly as smooth as LPP, GO, or Zeam), will never leave him. He has the fastest launcher. A little eye candy here and there, but it's basically a highly customizable launcher that is lightning fast.

I also tend to agree with the OP that it's silly to say you'll deliver new features and then don't come through. It really is bad customer service. But I also know that all of my patience that I'm losing is simply to due to excitement. Can't hold it against him that his fans are maybe a bit overly excited. We weren't promised updates when we bought it!
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
I actually had issues with LPP redrawing my app drawer, forcing close.

Sure it's fast and speedy.. After it's redrawn. But then afain, we were promised updates [even before he started with the widgets and released them once every two/three weeks at a time].

Fact is, yes.. he's a one man team to the visible eye, and adw has more developers.. But theres got to be a reason ADW is the key home replacement for all roms.Just sayin
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
ADW is the home replacement for most ROMs because it's open source. LP is not. If Fede dies, LP will be a goner. Some of us donated money and bought the app because he claimed he would hire a team but that hasn't happened, has it?
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
That's pretty much what I'm saying. People have praised LPP mainly because of one thing: The Widgets.

If Snowbee collaborated with ADW to make Colorize Widgets a stationary part of ADW Launcher...It'd be over for lpp. I like the complex yet fully openness of adw.

People like the dock of lpp, then totally disregard that lpp does it with grace with the swipe up + unlimited icons...

I bought the app thinking there'd be comparable things to adw...but have yet to see it. If a rewrite five months in the making is going to blow adw out of the water... it better have TAT Home like features.
[Android Apps and Games] syrenz:
This. I do love the widgets but I've stopped using it for a while due to screen redrawing too often. It's something I've found on every alternative launcher though (except the newest update of GO launcher). I think the rewrite is supposed to fix it also (whenever that happens :( ). For now I've just gone back to stock XT720 launcher since I like the look better than GO Launcher, mostly I don't like the app drawer of Go Launcher.

EDIT:

Hmm ADW is better than I remember it being... (could just be because I upgraded my phone :shrug:). Still, I prefer the widgets, general look and app drawer of LP. (I think ADW EX is more comparable, but I don't see a need for me to purchase it).
[Android Apps and Games] zzelinka:
I'm not saying he's a bad guy. I'm not a complainer. Just don't make deadlines that you miss by a month every time, that's all I'm saying. Just keep us updated if it's going to be late. This app could be his main source of income if he can make it successful. Customer service is key. This, eventually, will be the best launcher for Android. If the predictions are correct, Android will be 75% + of the market share in phones...

- Z

P.S. I love the launcher. I recommend it to all my friends who get Android phones. So...
[Android Apps and Games] shortskoolbus:
Why are you guys so mad at the OP. He's a paying customer, expects the dev to deliver what's been committed.

Personally I use the free LP and i like it because it's fast. But don't know why everyone's on OPs case...

Zeam is pretty damn fast too. If only i could hide apps in the app drawer...
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
We're agreeing with him..
[Android Apps and Games] parker09:
Been a long time user of LPP on multiple devices, it's been great on all the Android phones I've used and I'll probably stick with it for a while to come, I honestly don't care about the LPP widgets, just basically the ability of dock notifications, hidden apps, widget resizing, columns/rows in appdrawer & homescreen, I brought ADW Ex and used it for a bout a week but I went back to LPP as I felt it gave better performance.

Whilst the wait has been long for the rewrite, I can understand why development may seem slow but on the other hand I kind of feel it's important to just give a couple of messages here & there about how the development is going on the rewrite.
[Android Apps and Games] tomj777:
Exactly what he said
[Android Apps and Games] Asphyx:
And no matter what you think is the best launcher in 3 - 4 months all of these reviews will be outdated! lol

If I'm not mistaken Fede decided to redesign LP from the ground up. He was asking for feature requests on his site.

That says to me that it will probably be some time before we see anything new. But once he is done it will probably be a very different product!

I am waiting to see what that SlickUI project comes up with. Looks rather impressive. If they can make good on half of what they have promised I think they will probably pull a lot of users over to that launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] zzelinka:
Agreed on all counts. LPP is fantastic, all we need is a small progress update every once in awhile. My business or marriage would never survive without proper communication...

- Z
[Android Apps and Games] Proym:
LP is really fast but a bit dull in app drawer options :S ADW EX is better in sense of customization (not only themes) , it has got hidden dock (which is seriously useful) and with its' true custom app drawer catalogs ADW is the one for me but i guess this is kinda of topic. Anyway LP is seriously fast and allows little bit of customization but it really needs more features and i don't know if it can keep his speed with the options ADW EX and GO Launcher EX provides with its' current structure.
[Android Apps and Games] jetgomes:
+1

I paid because i was satisfied with what i got(more a donation than paying,actually),10 times better than default launcher,top shelf product for free,or you could by hem a beer.

in general doesn't need to change anything..

but tha'ts just me...
[Android Apps and Games] chiefVetinari:
wow. I've been using LPP for 3 months now. I paid what 3 / 4 dollars. Cmon people!!

Only in mobile apps do people think 3 dollars buys them support and updates from a person / company for months afterwards! The original launcher plus the widgets was worth 3 bucks, never mind the rewrite. If he takes another 3 months, so what?? You feel you were ripped off by LPP?
[Android Apps and Games] mutepoint:
I paid for both LPP and ADW-EX, but I prefer ADW-EX simply for the "lock desktop" feature. I was always inadvertantly moving stuff and peeling icons off the dockbar by accident. Now I am camping happy :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
OP is the classic ignorantly-demanding consumer.

just cause you paid $4 for an app, or whatever the price is, doesnt mean the dev owes you anything. You paid for the app, and you got the app, and are using the app on your phone. That is a fair transaction. Anything after that is a bonus, because updates are FREE. If he wants to stop development tomorrow, he should be able to without anyone *****ing at him, hes not under contract. Its his life, and hes man enough to make his own decision. Buying a developer's app does not entitle you to make further demands. Theres a difference between demands and requests...you are demanding.

There are countless paid apps out there that only have one or two releases until development stops. so what, deal with it, and be thankful for what you have. be thankful there is even a LPP to ***** about!!
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
thats where reviews and bad comments come from. enough of them.. and an app wont be downloaded merely because of the grief an app has given a user. Sooooo
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
maybe he doesnt care. i wouldnt. cant make everyone happy, and god knows those people who leave comments on the android market are like flies on **** anyway. whiney brats, just like the OP. you paid for the app, now the dev is at your beck and call? he owes you lifelong development at whatever expense??? grow up

once again. hes a big boy. if he wants to update you, he will. if he wants to update the app, he will. but he doesnt need people demanding it, and threatening bad reviews haha. like that is going to speed up development?? he'll just wake up one day and say "im tired of all the bad reviews, i think ill go to the bathroom and poop out an update version"? think its just that easy??...wont happen...sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

did you ever think theres been no update, because there IS NO update?? wow, what a concept that is......do you want him to tweet "no update as of xx/xx/xxxx"?
[Android Apps and Games] fards:
oh how true.

On the other side I know several people who throw out"updates" with "bug fixes"

(go go placebo)

to the market regularly to appease these type of whiners.

But I keep forgetting this isn't xda-developers anymore, isn't xda-whiners.com
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
You sound mad. Fede has made it a fact he's doing a rewrite of the entire app. So.. what's the point of you typing all of those characters? Simmer down.
