Need help on Launcher Pro - Nexus One Themes and Apps

Hi Guys
I may sound silly but when I install Launcher Pro..I don't get any option now 7 screen.
Nor I am finding any option or something to work around on it...
what I am doing wrong. I am using Google Nexus1
BTW, I am new here and hello to everyone.
Thanks
Sam

With Launcher Pro up, hit menu, then go to preferences (not settings).

thnx..it was so easy and i was not able to work on it

and how can i see all my screen at once like it doesn't have those small dots like we get as default on g1

Hit the home button, while you're on home. . .

Or pinch inwards (same action as zooming out on Maps or Browser)

this only applies to the pro version?

There's no pro version. Just pinch your homescreen like ur zooming out on browser or googlemaps.

it's called launcherpro but the pro is not a seperate version. for now theres only one.
Think he called it that because it's basicly a stock launcher, but with added features, so launcherpro.
personally i hope he makes a donate or paid version because i will gladly buy it. even in only it's beta form this is amazing.

Best home replacement app?

I want to get some themes on my phone but it appears you need a home replacement app, so whats the best one for the x10?
try Helix Launcher. donut version
For me the best one is PandaHome
Hi kingsize93 - Have you tried Helix and OpenHome+ ??
I'd like to hear your thoughts of them all if possible?
Thanks.
Zeam can be a good option as well
Personally I like Home ++ Landscape looks awesome
GDE is the best!

for me GDE is also the best with the Hero theme. Smooth and cool animation. The cube transition is awesome.
for me Crazy Home is a new home screen replacement for your Android phone with OS 1.6 and higher. Desktops/Screens: Up to 3 separate desktops each with up to 5 screens. Easily scroll through your desktops by swiping up and down. Dynamically add/remove screens or desktops, no restarting needed.

Home++ is wonderful!! But when I tap on the menu icon, there is a too big time latency before the menù is completely loaded!

When you are in the (Home++) homescreen, hit the menu button (left button on the Xperia with four small squares on it) then you'll see a menu popping up with 'preferences' in the lower left corner.
Home++ is the best and nicest looking i came across.
Helix for Donut
I use the donut version of helix and i am very impressed by it.

Best Homescreen replacement?

I loved to use adw in the past but recently the updates made it unusable for me... so i am looking for a replacement...
Maybe i should just stick to an old version of adw (i unfortunatly didnt backup mine before updating)
So what are you guys using?
Ps: and please dont tell me to google or "this thread already exists" coz i want new information
Yea, ADW has started crashing on ocassions, its really annoying. Dont know what alternative is good like this.
ADW ftw! Never had an issue with it.
I for one am interested in trying the LG Optimus launcher once we get Eclair. Im an organization freak so the customizable app drawer appeals to me. Also looking forward to trying Launcher Pro Plus with Eclair. Currently using ADW and have no problems.

Have you not tried the "group" feature in ADW? Open the app drawer and press the menu button - choose group - New catalog, name it, choose apps to be in it, then when you go into the app drawer you just press the menu button and choose your new group.
I had been using Slidescreen pro since last 3 weeks and with facebook and Google reader integration working with it,i have laid Timescape and the old ADW launcher to rest in peace.
I can assure you would get a different experience once you start using it........

Yeah i use the group feature. I like it but the LG has all apps on one screen with groups seperated by heavy lines with titles. Im being fussy here is all ADW is by far my fav to date. Just looking to try something new.

damn i have to write somewhere in my profile that i started to code my own stuff when i was 15 years old ...
sure i tried to reinstall, delete settings, reset, just restart, play with different settings and i even tried to talk to it (j/k)... none of the things worked ...
can you do me a favor and try to press and hold the home key to switch between recent apps and then press the home key again?
everytime i do this i have to set it as default home again - this is way more annoying then the little crashes i experience all the time and for me it makes adw totally useless now ...

thx guys ... and wtf i cant get it to work
try LIVEHOME which is also a home screen replacement, nearly the same as adw but has a few more features, one of them is transitions, you can flick through you home screens like pages in a book (love it). Try it out.

ok after playing around a lot with settings i have to apologize to my beloved adw launcher
ok it still crashes a lot in the newer version but my main problem - that it cant remember the default home - is on the stock android homescreen too so i guess somehow my software is ****ed up *cry* ...
guess i have to reflash (god damnit this **** is more buggy then windows 95)
edit: btw livehome looks really nice ... i like that you can change the icons in the drawer
Update: after reinstall and some hours later i got crashes again and that home-button problem too.
Now i set only the adw-homescreen to "dont auto-rotate" and i have no problems now.

Thought this was not in dev any more but it looks like they are still working on it and have released a new beta with Google Voice support. Looks pretty sweet!

Yea the beat has no way to launch apps so I uninstalled it. You have to hit the hm key to leave SlideMe and go back ou tto the reg home scree. The non beta app you dont have to do that.

you can set it as a home replacement, so a launcher....or you can just use it as a normal app
if you set as a launcher then it will have it's own app drawer
I think its brill, could do with a K9 plug in though

I noticed that when trying it out. It was quite disheartening since I REALLY love the app and enjoy being able to modify which items are where on the screen layout, but without an app drawer, it's kinda.... useless.
Update: Looks like Beta 2 has been released, and app drawer functionality has made it's way back in.
Horray for the updated features as well as being able to use it as my launcher replacement!
I'm not sure if this is a bug, so I might file it as a feature request on the bug reporting page - Pressing the "Home" button on an HTC EVO doesn't bring you back to the main launcher page, instead leaves you either in an app drawer view, or in a settings menu. To get back to the launcher, you need to press the "Back" button several times.

I also find this frustrating, but overall the launcher is excellent.
I do suffer with FC's at times which just seem to not stop, but I'm overlooking these while in beta stage.

I've posted a bug report about the home button and got a response. Hopefully they end up getting a fix out for it relatively soon.
I think some of the FC's you might be getting are from the Android version you're running. You have a Sony X10? Aren't you running 1.6? I'll have to look further, but I think that the app is compatible with Eclair or above currently.
Great home replacement app! I do have some pet peeves though:
- As others have said, you cannot return to your old homescreen even when pressing the Home key several times. It would be nice for it to revert to a previous home launcher (e.g. ADW, Launcherpro) unless prompted again.
- Is it possible to make use of K9 Mail instead of GMail for the email client? A plugin of some sort would be mighty fine.
Other than that, this might be my next favorite app for Android.

The X10 has been given the 2.1 update, so thats cool.
It turns out the FC's i was getting was due to a google voice beta i had installed, so removed that and its been fine since!

If you enter the App Drawer and press Menu -> Home Settings -> Home Switching -> Toggle "Switch Homes"
I think this is what you are referring to? This should allow you to use the Home button to toggle between SS and your main launcher.
EDIT: Beta 3 was released. http://gsfn.us/t/1yjjb
Fixes "Home" button while using SS as primary launcher. I <3 the devs of this app, they REALLY listen!
Has anyone received the version expired warning? the error asks the user to look on the forums for a new beta but I can't find any.

UPDATE: Just uninstall and reinstall beta 3. Works fine.

Ported 3d launcher, alpha test. Calling all devs!

UPDATE 5/19
Here is dropbox of new music app. It works outside of the launcher also, but doesnt have that cool look. Outside the 3d launcher it looks kinda like ours
®download new apk.
®get a system app remover. Search the market.
®use it to first back up, and then remove your old music application.
®find new music apk and instal.
®start launcher, (you downloaded both zips below and and installed everything right?)
®hit the thanks button

UPDATED 5/17
Hi all.
Let me start off by saying. . . I have no knowledge of porting or modding and was extreemely lucky to get this far. I need some dev help!
Here is my attempt at porting a landscape only 3d launcher for our tab. Works on 2.2-2.3.3.
It is a beta/alpha version.
I say beta/apha because some things dont work yet, but it runs very smooth. So I am calling it that.
This was originaly a launcher for anouther tablet (advent vega tab) and I believe it is called 3d Home Launcher Screen for Vega. It was designed for use with a Tegra processor.
Here is a link to vid of it running natively on its original device.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-4k62ln4j4
Did some tinkering, reading, hacking, slashing and harassing. . . . . lots of cursing
And. . . .
I got it installed and MOSTLY working . A few thing still need work.
Let it settle in. It has its own cache, and needs to build it. Restart the launcher maybe twice over an hour period. Its been running smooth, finding and playing all audio/video files. It created its own audio and video thumbnails.
®Music app DOES currently play music. It is visually stunning.
®Video app DOES play video.
*No google search bar. Thats okay. It was kinda cool tho. It caused FC's. Anything that caused fc's has been taken out of the uploaded version.
*Animated Weather widget shows weather but doesn't show the three days of the week buttons. It's just a black box that now turns to the next city. Maybe font is not installed. I am looking for it.
*It dissables two soft buttons. The search button and menu button. Long pressing the search key still brings up voice search. And pressing menu in apps still works. Pressing search button in an app still works.
Download launchkey and remap the long press search key to open search instead of voice search
*Button on right of task bar does nothing, I took out the Guide. It was for the original Tablet. Maybe it could be modded to open another app?
*Dock bar seems a little visually kooky. Black boxes under each icon where it is supposed to say name of each. Maybe font is not installed. I am looking for it. Also maybe this is because it is for a 10 inch tab screen and ours is 7.
Maybe a few things more but I cannot remember.
Guys, I think I am getting close, but would like some help, please, as I have no idea what I am doing.
®download both zips, unzip both and install all files. Sorry bout two zips. XDA has a size limit. Can anyone help make a CWM Recovery flashable zip? There is alot to install, and I dont want anyone missing an apk.
®works on any dpi.
®there are more widgets but currently they cause the forceclosures
®let it "settle"
®Devs focus on the *'s this is what I need the most help in

I have on my Desire ages ago. Have they actually updated it or does it work fine?
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
I dont know if they updated it, but it works smooth on my 2.2.3 beta 2 overcome.
Netfront life screen: my only gripes so far is no orientation change. And the annoying need to click on the desired icon, it scolls to "home" then you gotta click again to open it.
And it would be awsome to have the circle centered in landscape on the middle bottom, or middle?
Kinda why i want the 3d launcher ported
I guess running netfront and circle launcher is the best 3d we are gonna get till someone ports the 3d launcher.
I've just been trying Claystone Launcher from the market, its a beta but works ok, no landscape mode, and app draw is slow and laggy, but other features are very good, i follow this and hope it will be nice and fast at some later date.
More info here:http://www.appbrain.com/app/claystone-launcher-%28beta%29/com.claystoneinc
It's from Advent Vega Tablet. i raised the same question some time back but no one seems to be interested.
I dont know why. It looks freakin sweet. I just think the people who, unlike me, can just dont want to. Everyone else waits for other people to do it. I bet if i had it posted available to instal right now, the download counter would be smoking.
Cmon guys, take a look and give some input. If you dont wanna do it teach me how. Id love to learn how to port things like this.
Here is a youtube vid on it running natively on its original tab.

For correcting the link.
I ripped the stock launcher out of a toshiba and its a pretty sweet launcher. Its definetly different that anyrhing we have available now.
If you wanna check it out, i can pm or email it to you as i cant upload.
It works great on any lcd desity, i have it on 182 right now. Using this in conjucture with circle launcher makes my tab visualy awsome and very unique.
I also have the dell stage launcher its a great portrait launcher because unfortunatly its resolution allows you to see part of each screen to the left and right in landscape mode. Still works in landscape mode, tho.
It is also diff than the regular old adw launcher. It has some widgets also.
I am in the process of ripping out every stock launcher i can find and trying to get it to work on the tab.
I am gonna start a new thread soon with all these in one spot that work on the tab. I am not gonna include launchers you can find on the market. Except in passing mention.
Do you think that thread is a good idea?

App, 4.0+, HomeFlip

I made a small home button launcher replacement, mainly for myself to overcome my new note 2 'bulkiness' when it comes to switch tasks quickly. Give it a try and let me know if you found it useful.
Google play download: HomeFlip
very useful app. thanks for sharing.
an idea from me: add a swipe option for opening the app. for ex. horizontal swipe open up the HomeFlip.
Noted.

Your not missing anything, this is a oversight from my part, I should have known that the xda crowd was likely to have at least one custom launcher in addition of the stock one installed!.

Thank you very much for making this app. It's nice and light. I tried it, but I will have to wait till the option to choose "default" launcher available to install it again :highfive:.
And is there anyway that I could replace the default recent apps with your app ? I have a button for recent apps, but it takes age to load

It depend on the ROM you are running, most stock Android will popup the task manager when pressing Home for few seconds, HomeFlip should preserve this behavior by default.
I'll check CM9 (this is what you are running right ?) internals to see if there is a way to hijack this, but keep in mind that I try to keep HomeFlip as non-invasive as possible, so any features that require additional permissions or dirty tricks is a no go for me, Respect peoples phone is my policy
Thanks.

I know the long-press home action, and of course, I don't like it . I have a cheap and weak phone (HTC explorer), so your animation seem a bit laggy . I have a dedicated button for recent apps, but it take about 1-1.5 second to load . So go to home and tap app icon is even faster than using the recent apps menu .
Looking for the update . By the way, the apk size is tiny, but cached process need 10MB, is that normal ?

I have a dedicated button for recent apps, but it take about 1-1.5 second to load . So go to home and tap app icon is even faster than using the recent apps menu .
Looking for the update . By the way, the apk size is tiny, but cached process need 10MB, is that normal ?

You can disable the animation from settings (context menu).
HomeFlip to not not cache anything by itself, but it is possible that the OS itself cache information (i.e. icons), I'll have a look.
Anyway, Android is getting good at managing memory itself, the times where you had to manually kill tasks are hopefully over.
Thanks.
HomeFlip 1.01 available now.
HomeFlip Version 1.01 available now:
changes:
- Settings / Added support for multiple launchers.
- Settings / Added background dimming customization.
Full theme customization coming up next, stay tuned.
Enjoy.
I'm probably missing the obvious here, but I absolutely can not find the settings. Awesome app though, if I could only find the settings to change the default launcher!

I have a Nexus 4, and when using homeflip, there is no menu button.

I like this a lot. Running it on my Nexus along with ADW launcher. Very fast and smooth. Subscribing to this thread to keep an eye on things
@above How did you get to the settings on your nexus?
