LauncherPro Beta (SUPER FAST & SMOOTH Launcher!)

[mentaloaf]

Hay guys, I need help with this app. I have never downloaded it off the market, yet when I set up my phone after installing a rom, one of the first things that pops up is the "which app sould you like to perform this action?" It gives me 3 choices, launcherpro, the regular one, orADW launcher...I've been using launcherpro as my dfault, and it's awesome, but I'm not able to open it to tweak the settings. It doesn't show up in my apps...the only place it shows up is settings/apps/runningapps, and in there I can't really do anything with it...

So I tried downloading it from the market and it won't DL, I just get "unsuccessful" every time..

Should I uninstall in settings and try to re-install from the market maybe?

When you're at the home screens, press the menu button on your phone (the one with 4 lines if you're on the Droid) and choose 'Preferences'

Thats where you change your LauncherPro settings.

Thanks man, is the reason I can't install it because I already have it?

Yeah, if you press the Home key and LauncherPro is listed, its already downloaded and installed on your phone.

Make sure you choose that, then press the menu button to get into the Preferences for LP.

Fede,

If you're reading through, I have one suggestion for a tweak you can make with a future update. If possible, can you have an option where when you have the notification bar 'hidden', it will show itself if you have any new notifications that come in and will re-hide itself once you've expanded the bar to log that you've viewed it?

I keep my Droid as my desktop clock at work while plugged into the dock at work, and while I love this app, it does get annoying that I have to press the menu button to view if I have any notifications instead of it telling me itself. Wouldn't be a problem if Android didn't screw with the LED light causing it to not flash when the front screen is on.

This is basically why I don't use the hide feature. So, I second this request, if it's possible.

Request: Can we get the app drawer to open by pulling up on the arrow? It's an up arrow, and instinctively you want to pull up like in Helix or Stock. However, we can only tap. I understand in launchers like ADW they have an extra 6 buttons in the dock you can reveal, but in LP, there's nothing.. so why not allow us to TAP or PULL UP to bring up the app drawer? Thanks!!!

Tapping does bring up the app drawer....

 

[ecsnead69]

What do you rename this to when you move it to system/app to theme??

 

[dmo580]

Tapping does bring up the app drawer....

Yes. I'm asking for a swipe up like the stock launcher

im a little late getting this. i usually use whatever comes with the ROM im running but im super impressed by this ap. is there a way i can change the 16 dot button to something else? i hate that thing.

Having issues with LP today. Six FC, which is three times the usual number. A number of widgets had problems appearing on the home screens. Missing apps in the file drawer. Not sure what the issue is. May be the droid itself. Vibrate isn't working today either. No problems yesterday, hmmmmm....

Ive been having problems with LP as well for the past week or so with multiple FC's everyday. Usually around 4-5.

Are you using the 3D app drawer?

I was. Unchecked it and only 1 FC today so that was probably the problem, though it had not given me problems until yesterday.

How sensitive are smartphones to humidity? Yesterday was pretty humid and I wonder if that had something to do with it. Today it is much less so.

Any chance of getting a backup option of desktop settings & configuration like ADW?

ADW saves the desktop layout?
Here is another challenge for LauncherPro...

That woudl be nice. This biggest pain in adding Roms and some themes is rebuilding the Desktop.

Update available...

The new version of LauncherPro Beta (0.5.2) is now available in the Android Market.
This one is for the tweakers and widget lovers. Here’s 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.

Just updated to 0.5.2 and am noticing some swiping issues on the home screens. Seems that when I swipe left or right on the screen sometimes it doesn't register and I have to keep swiping to move to the next screen.
