you can use both launcher2 or rosie, just clear the defaults...

How am I able to use the sense UI if im using the launcher?

You can also use Helix Launcher. But the only way you will get the SenseUI aka Rosie is if you use the original launcher that is included with the Incredible.

Cool. Thanks

Noob here - how do you get another launcher and still use Sense UI? Where can I find a link for something like that?

You can download the HelixLauncher from the market, its free. Still trying to figure out how to use the sense UI on another launcher....

SenseUI is part of the default Launcher (HTCSense aka Rosie). Technically it IS the default launcher. AFAIK there is no way to "Use Sense on another Launcher." You either use HTCSense or you use some other Launcher.

I tried Advance Laucher and it forced closed over and over. Which N1 Laucher are you using. Does it support multi-touch? I tried Helix but it doesn't work with multi-touch so I got rid of it.

What "multi-touch" function are you trying to use at the Launcher level? Most multi-touch is at an app level....browser, maps, gallery, etc....

The launcher I am using is from Nexus One - Cyanogen 5.0.6 rom. It support multi-touch for pic, browser, map, etc..... But the stock rom does the multi-touch already.

That sucks. I was really hoping to use the sense UI on a n1 launcher. Thanks.

I mean, where do yall find all these launchers from? I'm sorry, I just don't know. Still trying to learn as much as possible about, Android. I need a mentor

Could you post a link for the launcher that you are using?

Not sure if you were asking me or the other poster. The Helix Launcher is available for free in the Market. Honestly, though, I am using the default HTCSense Launcher. I can't imagine why anyone would want anything else.

I've used helix but it seems laggy to me so I was looking for the one he said he pulled from cyanogen.

Yeah, I mean I love the Sense UI. But one of the reasons I wanted to get into Android and get an Android phone was to do whatever I wanted and customize and try out anything and everything. Kind of sucks to have limited options when I was hoping to be able to do everything everyone else is doing with their phones.
I too would like to know how to get the Cyanogen Mod on the Incredible.

I'm guessing this is the one they are referring to. I is Launcher2.apk pulled from the Cyanogen Sholes/Droid ROM. You should be able to put it on the SDCARD and install with a file manager.
Credit to Cyanogen.

Same here. I'm hoping the Incredible get rooted soon. Would like to OC my phone and install different roms. I luv the Cyanogen roms, been running it on my N1 for a while now with no issue and its blazing fast.

I like Leap

Launcher Pro on X10?

I've been searching the market, but I can't find Launcher Pro anywhere
I've also downloaded the beta .apk from the official site but my phone says that it's not compatible with this model. Is there anyway to get Launcher pro to work with my x10?
Also what are some advantages and disadvantages over ADW Launcher (which is what I am currently using.. and loving)? I just want to try out Launcher pro...
Thank you for your time

I use Launcher Pro and it has a number of advantages over ADW (which is a fine product).
However, as long as you have android 1.6 you will never be able to use launcher pro, as well as many other fine market products.
I suggest putting pressure on Rogers/Sony to upgrade to a higher level (2.2 - Froyo is out already.)

Oh! So launcher pro is only available to people with latest android versions? That explains it
Thank you

launcherpro plus

hi there
ive seached the forums but not getting what i need
i need to know if launcherpro plus works on stock android 2.2 unrooted

Yes it works on stock 2.2 just fine. You pay for it through paypal, then will be given an activation key.
You can buy it through their site - Sorry I can't post a link apparently my account hasn't been verified.

Download the ordinary Launcher Pro and then go the the launcherpro site and purchase the Pro version (there is an option to use Paypal). You will be emailed a code that you enter into the Launcher Pro app on your phone which unlocks the Plus features.
I too can't link to the site, but a quick search or link from the Market or AppBrain takes you there.

thanks guys
trying it out
works great
just a pity it cant see htc sense widgets
then it would be perfect

there are no sense widgets outside HTC Sense (rosie).
But you'll find a few acceptable alternative widgets in the marked / within launcher pro plus

I thought the same when I first tried it but then noticed how the home screen rotates and customization is more extensive the dock can have custom icons also its much faster than HTC sense it can be set to go faster (between home apps etc...)and can have a bunch of screens.

[Q] Sense UI for Captivate?

Hey everybody, I have tried to search around and I have found no luck, but does anyone know if they have ported the sense ui and can you load it on the captivate? maybe a dumb question i dunno but i figured i would give it a try.

Not yet. Mostly everyone has been working on the gps issues and lag fixes.

just use Launcher Pro and then find a .apk file for fancy widget (a copy of the clock), it's not sense, but its much snappier than the stock captivate launcher and it has some HTC like widgets in the paid version, I find it very functional ^_^

Ive tried several different launchers including launcher pro but i found that i like adw launcher the best. You can download a sense theme for it from the market. I previously had samset 1.5 & 1.8 installed which includes the clock widget. After i synced to app brain i was able to reinstall it after i flashed a different rom. This is pretty much my ui of choice. It has been running great, plus you can enable horizontal swipe in the app drawer via adw settings which i find to work more smoothly. Hope that might have helped some for the time being.

Thank You! I too have been looking for a version of sense for the Captivate. This does a good job of pulling off the over all look and feel!

Another vote for the paid version of Fancy Widget. Very customizable and can be made to look just like Sense.

Sense UI isn't just a skin or launcher like TouchWiz. It actually replaces a lot of stuff in the ROM and has its own framework. You can't just "add" it to a ROM. It IS the ROM. I don't think you'll have it running on Galaxy S phone anytime soon.

You don't get it do you. I posted the link where this was being looked at. I never stated it worked. Don't be so hung up on being right when in fact you aren't. This question is unnecessary and will be locked by a mod because the question has been answered.

[Q] Launcher Pro vs ADW Launcher ...

Nexus S with CaynogenMod 7 Nightly #16
i used Launcher Pro (Paid) on may HTC Desire (stock and custom roms) on my Nexus S the Launcher Pro seams a bit ... slow? buggy? sometimes it crashes ... now i use the ADW Launcher included in the CaynogenMod 7 but its feels the same ... its slow and somtimes it doesnt work ... then i have to wait a bit and its working again ...
i dont make any mods so it cant be the problem ...
does anyone has the same problem? is there a way to fix that?

Maybe has something to do with the nightlies. Ive used both launchers on my stock ns and have never had a fc or lag.

of those 2, i prefer GO Launcher EX
it has the best of both ADW and LauncherPRO plus & way more
it's fast, and it's free
easy to skin & theme

Thanks for the heads up on Go Launcher, it's come a long way since the last time I tried it.

I just gave Go Launcher a try and it was alright except when I applied my custom icons they got extremely pixellated :/

i used to be a devoted LauncherPro advocated

LauncherPro was the best i ever used ... i try to stay with it

I am a fan of adw ex.

Launcher Pro and ADW Ex are kind of choppy. No, it's not just my phone, I've had 3 nexus S's and it's all the same. My N1 and Vibrant both had buttery smooth Launcher Pro animations, but not the Nexus S. I can get it close if I use a 1.4 or 1.5ghz overclock kernel... but I don't want to do that just for the launcher lol.
I'll try Go Launcher... but I'm still skeptical it can be as smooth.

I just noticed my first ever issue with lp: I sometimes scroll through my docks when I'm not paying attention but this time I noticed that while scrolling to the left at high speeds it would occasionally show a blank dock in between. So I did what I do whenever I find a bug: I repeated it over and over seeing how often I could reproduce it. Then all of a sudden my dock just flat out disappeared. I restarted lp and it came back. Sort of. It only showed one of my two docks (the one to the right). Only a full reboot brought back both. If this happens again it might be a reason to switch but typo what I don't know :/

Go Launcher EX is pretty damn fast and doesn't ask for all those permissions the original one had. Although, there are still some bugs on there for the Nexus S that I've experienced.
1. When pressing home on a different screen, the screens disappear. Home has to be pressed again for it to take me to the main home screen.
2. When rotating from portrait to landscape, sometimes the dock is misplaced.

2) never had that problem
1) yes, only happens in SNS, it doesn't do it on my other phones
work around is to NOT USE the setting for Home+Preview, set the Home button either or, just not both

Just saw that there was an update and it fixed the home button issue. Other than that, this launcher is great. Much faster when rotating from portrait to landscape and other stuff.

Moved to Q&A

ok ... i tryed the following:
i deleted the ADWapk ... now the system is running better with Launcher pro ... maybee this 2 launcher dont like each other ...
problem is ... with the next update the ADWlauncher is back again or not?
