Just 'discovered' that you can unistall an unwanted app simply by dragging the icon to the trash bin and holding it for a few seconds.
It will show a 'pop up' saying "Drop to uninstall".
It can be done from home screens or app drawer.
Nice, easy and new to me...
Can be done with ADW too.

csb.. Been that way for a few months.
Thanks for the tip )
Was googling for it )
True, but, if it's an app like "BlockBuster" that came with the phone, it can not be deleted...well, at least I can't find a way..."remove app" is grayed out.
Thanks !
Didn't know that and am using launcher pro for a month now.
It really annoyed me not being able to un-install an app from the app-drawer.
Now I can.
@ XperienceD
Is ADW in your opinion better than launcher pro?

I've just moved over from the TytnII - and i am feeling button deprived. I'm looking for an app that will allow me to launch a few specific apps (Phone & Calendar & camera being most immediate) without all this scrollling around panes on the Nexus UI and hunting for the icon. I used AEButton+ under WinMo.
any suggestions ?
Personally, I place all my icons that I quick access in the center screen (#3). Then, my widgets and less used icons go out to the sides. I know how you feel though, as it actually caught me by surprise the first time I went to make a call and there was no call button.
Install Home++ or Launcher+ from the market.

No kidding, I was playing with the phone the first day texting/emailing/etc. Then I had to call someone, I was like....um...what do i do.
lol
Found a solution!..
ScreenSlide from the market. Beautiful launcher/app that restructures how you use the home completely. I really like it.. took me all of 5 mins to decide to register the paid for app

I want my screen to look like android, not winmo.
Until screenslide supports widgets, it's a downgrade from stock android.

No. I really don't have a problem with the current launcher.
Edit. So, I tried both Launcher++ and Home++. Launcher++ kinda sucked. Nothing special. Home++ on the other hand is effin' awesome! So flippin' smooth, I get to keep the "Android look" but also expand upon it a little bit. Still playing with it, as I haven't yet figured out how to customize it yet. Just wish it supported live wallpapers. I like the "light cycle" one. :-D
QuickDesk Beta in the Market get it now !!
Looks pretty slick.
What is it?

by double tapping the home button, you can bring up a custom 5x4 screen that lets you place shortcuts/widgets on it that opens over top whatever app you're running
seems like a really great idea
Re: QuickDesk Beta
Great idea, very useful. Must have app
This is...sexy. I am enjoying it. It took me a few seconds to figure out how it worked, but once I got it, It's sexy. hehehe.
Oh man. Genius. Thanks dude.
EDIT: landscape mode would be nice.
Hrm, just tried on 2.2 and it doesn't seem to work unless I set it up wrong. When I tap the home button twice it just takes me home lol.

you need to set it as your default launcher, then in quickdesk, you can set up your launcher as whatever you want
Jep4444 said:

So, basically, clear defaults, and when you press home, and it says what launcher do you want to use, instead of launcher2, adw, or launcherpro (whatever you're using) you press "QuickDesk" then you double tap the home button, bring up quickdesk (you have to tap pretty quickly) and then press options - preferences. Then click 'default home' and set it back to your launcher. There, you can also change the delay for the double tap. Default is 300 miliseconds.
It's a cool app! Now I m thinking of moving the apps from my ADW apps dock to the QuickDesk, so I hv access to those apps anytime, anywhere!
Thanks for the great app!
Re: QuickDesk Beta
I got it set as: long press search button

Is it like Power Strip?
Edit // market didnt work some minutes ago.. now it does. Its not like power strip
I'm loving this app. Thanks for the notification!
I can't make a decision between this and power strip.
I love this app! Very useful!
Sexy as hell
Very nice, two suggestions, add the option for a notification bar, and have it close on widget selection.
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.

Same here. I'll try reinstalling.
UPDATE: Just uninstall and reinstall beta 3. Works fine.
I just figured out I can make folders on my gsll phone in the app menu. (Not the home screens) I can put all the carrier BS and other app icons I don't want to see in there. It brought my app screens to 3 swipes from 5. Is that a standard Android feature or something Samsung added in with touchwiz? I would be interested in doing the same on my tablet.
That sounds like a Samsung Touchwiz feature. As far as I know, stock app drawer does not support folders/dedicated pages.
However, you can simply get a non-stock launcher such as Apex or Nova and they support app drawer folders, plus a multitude of extra features lacking in the stock launcher

That is possible, just use a third party launcher. I think nova has is
OK cool. I will check out those programs. I figured one of those would do the trick but wasn't sure if I was missing something. Thanks!

I've never used third party launchers myself, since I think that the stock launcher on the Infinity is rather cool
Anyone know how to delete the home page with the widgets on it? I can delete all but one widget.....
You probably could have combined posts since you're asking two things that are somewhat related.
I'm not sure if you are on stock launcher or not, you weren't specific, but assuming that you are what you can do is pinch to zoom out on a home screen and then tap and hold onto a screen and drag that to the top bar where it says remove. Keep in mind that at a minimum you must have one , magazine ux page and one standard page when using the stock launcher.
Didnt think they were the same issue.
What I wanted to do (stock launcher) is get rid of the screen (now I know its the magazine ux) and only leave the home screens with the apps......
Guess thats not going to work......

You could always replace the stock launcher with something else. Nova and Apex are popular choices.
If the Magazine UX isn't your cup of tea I'm guessing you'll find the customization of Nova to be great once you start diving into resizeable widgets, smaller margins and additional row/column options.

Hi, can you please expand on how Titanium backup would be able to get rid of the magazine widget page please? Or were you just kidding around?
Am I the very 1st human to figure out a way to stay on stock touchwiz launcher & remove the magazine widget page?!?!? BUT there is a HUGE sacrifice,.,. BUT maybe a fix can be made to it so ALL Touchwiz tablet users can be magazine widget page FREE on stock launcher!
On mine I simple went to settings > Applications > All > Magazine UX, and disabled it...
Before I replaced Touchwiz with Apex, that is.
We aren't talking about the app/apps, we're talking about the entire screen where those Widgets are..

1) Perform the "pinch to zoom out" command on the home screen
2) Select "Home screen settings"
3) Uncheck the "Content Home screen" option
