[Launchers/Home Replacements] Launcher Pro Beta

The one i am using at the moment, is very very fast with alot of options check it out.
Launcher Pro Beta.. its on the market
http://www.launcherpro.com/
Very snappy screen switching!
here are some screen shots

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?

ADW or LauncherPro

Been looking a ADW over @ modaco!
Now we've got 2.1, anyone here tried Launcherpro?

I've tried both.
Launcher Pro is very slick however you are stuck with 4 x 4 icons as far as I can tell.
ADW you can put more icons on the screen and can also lock it into portrait by using the persistence option, so that's what I use now (even though I'd previously paid for Launcher Pro on my last phone, d'oh).

Been messing with ADW over the last hour, I've got so much more screen space, i'm not sure what to do with it all
Also sorted my fancy widget, which 2.1 really screwed up.

The very reason i have adw

Can you guys export your adw settings regards to icons nd widgets? I've been trying but cant seem to get it right. Looks aweful.

I've tried ADW after reading this and it looks like it has real potential but I have a daft question. How do you add icons to the desktop? I've tried dragging them from the drawer as per the stock launcher but they just disappear and I've tried creating shortcuts but that just seems to launch the app.

Toute, if holding your finger on the screen and choosing shortcut -then application-then choose app- launches the app then some thing is wrong and I recommend reinstalling adw
It should work in the same way as the standard launcher, except dragging from the app menu-which has never worked for me

See, I told you it was a daft question, many thanks Fazziebear

When in ADW in landscape look to the right side of screen you should see a vertical bar with two shortcut icons and what looks like a grid.
Tap the grid this will launch the ADW app drawer (black backround etc) scroll to the app you want then just tap it.
This is an awesome bit of kit, it's like have two phones, trying to set it up so i've got the Dell launcher for work and ADW for play. Sought of 'SPAS-12' with pump or auto.

Thanks Checkbox, that's pretty much the same as the drop down drawer, neither is too convenient when you have loads of apps. Besides, I've got 5 screens to play with, it would be criminal not to fill them all up with my most used apps. I can separate them by type this way too, general/work/games/photography/technical etc.

If you want the look of ADW in 'Streak Launcher' try Multicon Widget http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.h9kdroid.multicon
Awesome

Running launcher pro and its awesome. I thought it was possible to change the location of the of the dock to one of the four sides of the screen (top, bottm, left, and right). Has this feature been removed or am I missing something?
thanks cheers.

launcher pro or go launcher if u want resizeable widgets
launcher pro if u want 6 x 8 icons
go launch if u want 30 desktops

Not so awesome under Stage UI. The icons are not spaced correctly. The icons show up in groups of four and don't look like it flows like the Multicon homepage shows. Also there's wasted space between Fancy Widget and the Multicon icons.

My favourite is Sweeter home is still in beta but it has loads of themes and totally transforms the look of the streak
check out www.sweeterhome.com
I have nothing to do with it, just a happy user

LauncherPro

Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Install them both Doesn't use any extra battery.
Something i tried and looks great IMO
Instal ADW with Gingerbread theme (the backround looks fantastic on Streak)
Instal Launcherpro and use that, you then have Launcherpro with a backround that i can't find or replicate properly, looks awesome.

[Q] [REQ] WeatherIcon in Status Bar

Hi,
I'm looking for an app which shows a weather icon in the notification area in additional to the Temp (not when the bar is pulled down, but just a little picture behind the temp, indicating conditions such as cloudy/rainy/sunny in the notification bar ) like WeatherIcon for Cydia (top right corner).

Maybe there's an app doing this already but I looked for it on the web and found nothing. Or if anyone would be able to dev this stuff, it would be great!

I'm looking for this as well. I'm starting to think a jailbroken iPhone is more customizable than an Android.

Ouch.. that hurt. The weather channel app, as well as a couple of others, display the weather on your status bar. I don't utilize this feature, so I'm not sure how they function; but with the weather app, find your location, then long press on it and set it as home location, and it will display the temperature on your status bar.
I would give you more info on the other, but again, I don't utilize this feature. All I did was google the questions ( http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+weather+status+bar ) and there was the answer

Lol. Thanks desikilla.
Actually been searching for a while. I do use a weather app that allows me to have the temp in the status bar. We are actually looking for an app that will show the current conditions using an icon such as a cloud, sun, or a cloud with rain falling from it, etc.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

the app you are looking for is called weather cast lite free in the market i use it and it shows weather icons for current conditions in your status bar or just temp

Look for an application in the Market called Weather Notification.

daman and bryan, thanks! Looks like this is what I am looking for.
I will check both of them out!

I agree with the OP, there needs to be an application like this for Android, there's NONE and it's weird because my friend texted me asking me if there was an application that showed the weather CONDITIION, and the TEMPERATURE on the titlebar (notification bar), we had an application like that for the old Sidekicks that were made from Danger, I'm surprised it's not made yet for Android, but it's made for a jailbroken iDevice lol.

I'm still looking for this also.

THREE LETTERS LOL. Almost every weather app has this features.

This app has both the icon & number
Weather,US Radar,Alerts,Quakes by Elecont software

GoWeather from godevteam works the best
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Meteo Notifier has both the weather icon and the temperature but the only downside is that your reading the temperatures in Celsius and not Fahrenheit. That and some people have complained about it not auto-updating for some.

BeWeather!

Unlocked thread and pinned.....Tablet has been out cause i have one in my possession

Nothing fancy.
Utilitarian but clean home screens.
Features:
Dashclock widget shows time/date, location weather, unread emails and alarms
Minimalistic text for the rotated SSID and network IP widget, touching the widget loads up my PPTP connection manager VpnRoot
Swipe left or right and the only thing on the screen that changes is the vertical widget to a Widgetsoid switcher at a convenient thumb position. This is achieved by duplicating the clock widget on the two home screens, using infinite scroll and the 'swipe' transition in Nova
Nova Launcher handles custom gesture swipes (see below)
Holo Icons and Mianogen icons for the folder icons across the bottom, can't remember which is which
Custom gestures from Nova:
Swipe down - opens notification
Two finger swipe down - opens quick settings
Swipe up - opens app drawer
Two finger swipe up - opens Google Now
Double tap - opens notifications
Two finger rotate - Nova settings
Pinch out - voice search
Pinch in - task manager

Basic to start with.....
