there has to be an easier fix to the launcherpro thing. I tried just moving to data/app and it didn't work. I have had success doing that in the past. It's pretty annoying to have to delete LP, install another launcher and then reinstall LP again just to get it to update.
Is it really that time consuming to delete it, reboot, reinstall, restore settings and replace your widgets? I think it took me under 5 minutes. Not trying to be a smarta$$, but it just doesnt seem to be much of a hassle considering you only have to do it one time and then you are good to go.
