The website and forum are offline, and people over on Android Forums are reporting that their version of Launcher Pro has 'expired'. Anyone know anything?
Mine is working
Not getting the expired message but wanted to search the launcher pro forums for an issue I have and get a 403 Forbidden page.
My LauncherPro is working fine, it seems these posters may have downloaded something - two threads so far, but one of the guides said these reports are popping up all over the place. Be careful what you download and install!
a coworker of mine had the issue today of the launcher actually expiring and had no way out of his browser, and i guess the launcherpro website was down? anyway, I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)
My LPP is also working fine. ADW or GO launchers would work for people with issues. I was also able to get to the site just fine (launcherpro.com), but yes, the forums were down.
Most likely a switch to a different server or hosting company, or website update. That's the simplest explanation.

Same with me - no problems.
Here's an update
Seems the developer has screwed up on this one. From this post on Android Forums (this is Fede speaking):
That's my bad actually, I didn't realize that if you had an old LP Beta set as your default, you wouldn't be able to use it to open the market to download a newer version after it expired.
Future versions will automatically send you to the market to get the new version. At this point, the only thing you can do is install ADB and use it to install a newer version, or use ADB to uninstall LP and then install from the market again.

He's generating a lot of ill will from this.
For some reason, a small percentage of LP users decided to be idiots and not update the app for the last month (0.8.2 came out Dec. 7th) and now the previous version has expired.

No, that isn't the problem. They're running an old beta that has expired. Those who use the market version, and those who paid for the app, aren't having the problem.
Can anyone access the launcherpro website? I get a blank page. This is really weird because Fede is usually very responsive.
Fede seems to be hiding, this is a PR disaster for him. The best thing to do at this point is to be forthcoming, own up to it, and give clear instructions on how to fix it.

I have to agree, Fede needs to own up to whatever this problem is. Even though I think the vast majority of LauncherPro users like myself have no problem, we keep the app updated and got it from the market. I wonder if this will effect his re-write of LauncherPro he has been promising?
Fede is doing a complete Rewrite.
Changes take time.....Not, everything is as easy and as fast as we would all like it to be.
Complications do happen. Its part of the game.
Be Patient......I'm sure he will get it all fixed soon enough.

With all due respect, This is more than a little 'complication'. Rewrites do take time, but if your customer base has lost faith in your product because you don't show excellenct support on a critical app like a launcher, you won't have anyone to rewrite for...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I don't think many will lose faith with Fede at all. And those that do can find another launcher to moan about.
Fede has a very loyal fan base, and most will stick with him as his is one of the best, if not the best, creation on this os.
People will always moan, and then find something else to moan about.
Fede won't have anyone to rewrite the app for?

Who said it wasn't? The point is, his program is everywhere on Android phones, many people who have no technical skills at all have it, and it seems to have 'broken' their phones. His lack of statement regarding the problems and offering workaround for it are the problem. As for 'finding another launcher to moan about' really? That's all it is, the consumer's fault? I think there's a job for you at AT&T.

No, not really. The anger is all over the internet. He needs to do damage control to help his reputation.
I love the LauncherPro program, I've had it since I started, I paid for it right off the bat. I do that with all developers. I will say I haven't found him to be very forthcoming with assistance - then again, until now (and still, for me), there haven't been issues like this that needed addressing. My only point is he needs to get in front of this and fix it or yes, his reputation will be damaged for many. Not you, not me, but there are plenty of others who are extremely unahppy.
Apparently Lifehacker has been in touch with Fede or found a response somewhere on the interwebs.

I checked the first 3 pages of the forums and didn't see this posted.
Here are some upcoming home replacements for Android. One name that should be familiar to us old WinMo users and a "newcomer."
http://www.tat.se/home/
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pre...gs-support-for-symbian-and-android-along.html
they both look pretty cool but I think tathome looks like it might be a little more to my liking.
SPB isnt out yet, is tathome available yet, i didnt see a download.
+1 for TAT home it looks like it could be NICE I checked out the video (good music and all ;-)) here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/tat-home-the-gesture-powered-3d-home-screen-your-android-device/
I used SPB Mobile Shell 3.x with my Touch Pro and I wasn't too impressed.
*** EDIT ***
Here is a video of Mobile Shell http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/mwc-video-spb-mobile-shell-50-on-android IMO Mobile Shell is suffering from what it always has LAG!!!!! Even on the N1 it looked slow, maybe because it's BETA.

Hrm, TatHome looks like what I envisioned Android 'should be' , I'm liking the look it quite a bit!! Next: to find out whether it really runs that smoothly on my Hero. 3d and graphics are great, but if it slows my phone down in the slightest its automatically going to get turned off.

Yes there are a lot of different spec'd Android phones out there but I think he is referencing the fact that Android apps are easier to "warez" than the apps on other OS's. All you have to do is sign up for the paid app extract the .apk post it somewhere. Also any dev can try to "reverse engineer" the app, change a few components and BAM it's on the Market as their "original" creation. Just my .2 cents

that is correct. when swype was first leaked I was actually talking to them about the bennifits of releasing it through the market instead of through manufacturers and one of the biggest concerns that was brought up was the fact that security for apps is too lax. now dont get me wrong everyone knows that for every security mesure there is always a way around it but android security just sucks thats why for the most part people afften have a free version and a donate version. if people can try it and like it then they are more likely to buy it rather than just pirate it. setcpu is a perfect example of this. sure the dev could have made it a protected app (but being a member here at xda he probably knew it was pointless) but he offers it free here and then if you like you can buy from the market to donate to help keep him developing.
so basically all im saying is...ok we all (me included) have pirated apps but if you like the app make sure to go buy it from the market and help keep these people developing for us.
I know I went off on a rant there but without intrest in app development this great platform will fail.
I might be the only here without pirated apps then haha. I did have CoPilot once, but I didn't like it much so I got rid of it. The only time I ever use something pirated is to try it. If I like it and feel the developer should get credit, then fine, I'll donate/buy it.

same here the only thing I am using pirated right now is swype but thats only becuase there is no way to buy it. but thats also because im a cheap ass and maily use free apps unless I really find something useful but to date the only things that I have bought are setcpu and beautiful widgets. im trying cachemate now but it really doesnt seem to be very helpful. I wish I knew a little more about programing there is an app for the iphone that I would love to have on my hero.
i played around with "pandahome" some yesterday. it seems beta right now but they are apparently coming out with pandahome2 soon. it's a good idea, just not quite finished yet. (fc's and whatnot)
anyway you might go check it out (if your feeling froggy).
lots of options and skins ect.ect.ect.
marketplace. free.
Despite the changelog saying they wouldn't work, paid apps are showing normally in the market. Previously purchased apps installed fine.
Anybody else seeing them?
Some paid apps aren't actually "protected". For instance, FeedR and Halp! (awesome app that my friends wrote, came out yesterday) shows up as purchased, but Twidroid (free OR paid) does not.
Did this really deserve it's own thread?
i noticed this too. Before the rom, I couldn't find android firewall or chompsms.... they are bother there now. However, I couldn't find bar code scanner. So some work some don't.
I was able to get the bar code scanner form the makers website to download
After a bit more searching, It seems I'm seeing only previously downloaded protected apps. But this is still nicer than having to install from backups. No problems fetching updates from the market.
Try to see if DroidLive is there.. not the lite version... thats a protected Pay app

I kinda disagree. The threads are too full of crap and search is far from accurate. The moderators should make a better effort cleaning up the threads. The Fresh 2.0 thread is about 75% crap, redundancy and off topic.

Flashed the new build over his old Eris 2.1 base ROM and I can see twidroid, DroidLive, Goggles, etc.

U disagree? I could see if this was a forum dedicated to fresh rom, but its not. Therefor thats why there is a specific fresh thread. I dont see why people dont get this simple concept.
Since this thread is still here...
Has anyone just tried changing their build footprint via build.prop like in all of the other 2.1 versions?
Beta is out, if its ok I will post.
Got my invite as well. So far looking good. Nice GUI plus response. I find it WAY faster than Trillian Beta, although some Skype and Video exchange might be good for next release
The end of the email reads:
"Also, please understand that the build is only for folks who have registered with us for the beta program and is not intended to be shared with any one. "
So now I ask you. Do you think its ok to post it?

That's cute, but why should someone have to Google something that someone's advertising. Obviously if you announce that something out its to garner interest, no? With that being the case, ways the harm in typing even a one sentence description? Seems pretty common sense.
And I just realized that the last two responses before that post could've been a simple description as well, but acting like someone doesn't know what Google is in an Android forum seems to take priority over posting something useful.
Anyways for anyone who doesn't know, it's a messenging client for multiple services. I love things like trillian on my pc so ill be waiting for this one

actually your thread was reported because (as it said in the subject) "cracked version" obviously thats a red flag for warez. anyhow as u mentioned the other threads on the subject were questionable. the only reason i let the threads remain was because they were all just links to beta trial versions. which imo wasnt so much warez. unfortunately when i brought the subject of swype up to the senior mods, i was told that the corp. that develops the app has sent XDA a order to stop posting their app. at that point the mods infomed me that i needed to remove all the sype threads. so thats what ive done. if ive missed one please let me know. anyhow thanks and have a good night

He also said that he'd be handing out suspensions for repeat offenses, just so everyone knows.
Here's XDA's official announcement.
Well, that sucks. I'm glad I have my copy. I don't know why Swype just doesn't put their app on the market. I'd a paid for it were there a trial version I could have tried. Personally, I love Swype and I don't know how I managed without it. The only thing I missed about my Blackberry when I switched was the typing. With Swype, my BB is a distant memory now.
Edit: Is Swype under contract with a certain carrier/manufacturer?

I think they have OEM contracts with most of the major manufacturers because we're seeing more and more handsets preloaded with Swype. They could still make bank off a Market version, though...
So...
Does this mean we have to either be in the beta or know someone in the beta to get a copy of swype now? That makes me sad.....

I agree. Hopefully they will put it on the market once those contracts expire so everyone can get it and have full support on it.
they really should just go market. i have a few different copies saved, dont know how many of them are expired or not. as long as i have one working copy, i'm good. once those expire though...... blah
I think it is crappy that if you want swype you have to purchase a phone you do not want to get it... shame on swype
That does stink. But those are the breaks. I guess it's back to keyboards that I can actually pay for.

P.S. Do not start posting asking me to PM you a link, or they will delete this thread too.
Hopefully one day they offer a paid version. I put Swype on my phone a while ago (before I switched to CM6... so it was probably 2 months ago?) and I liked it a lot. I'd gladly pay $2-3 for it or something like that.

Yea, we got owned. Owned so badly, that Swype had to come here and beg the forum to stop posting their app (that isn't supposed to be on our phones) on here. Sure........the devs/members from here, the ones who figured out how to put it on phones that weren't supposed to have it, are the ones that got "owned". Edit: Not to mention, like TheBiles said, we still HAVE Swype.
smh
No I get annoyed at the fact that people on XDA storm in on threads claiming OP's are breaking forum etiquette and rules and get mad when people call them out on their threads. It's just funny that's all.
So much for the idiot who said it was shareware to try and cloud the fact that it was warez.
Just FYI: when my last Swype .apk expired, I DL'd the SlideIT beta and played with it for a few days before I snagged a new Swype. While I definitely prefer Swype, SlideIT was definitely serviceable and way better than the stock keyboard.
So if you can't get your hands on Swype, give it a try. It's in the Marketplace.

Wow... I don't see any problem with posting this, but for real... why the heck do you type like that? I'd rather not read another post of yours formatted in such a way. It's not clever, and it doesn't make you look smart.
I do have to say one thing though. Anyone can make a list of programs, to provide people with something useful however.. that is another task. You give no information about these programs, you give no reference to the authors of these programs, you give no information about where to legitimately acquire these programs.. I would also doubt that all of these vendors want you distributing their software without permissions, even if they are available for free.
If you want people to view your posting as helpful, you may want to reconsider your approach. Format your text in a helpful and organized method (it's not a headline, or a title to a book). Include helpful and concise information about the applications. Provide links (at the very least) to the webpages associated with the applications. etc.

Thanks for posting these alternative markets. If you had a short description of them, I'd be much more willing to download.
And davied actually gave you constructive criticizm, no need to attack him.

Your Welcome...
There's Just A Certain Way To Say Things, To Say I'm Not Smart & Say I'm Basically Sh.t'n On Whoever Made The Apps, To Me Just Rubbed Me Wrong! Truth Is I've Downloaded Thousands Of Apps!!
I'm Not Trying To Intentionally Discredit The Developers, But In My Mind I'm Almost Doing Them A Favor, By Promoting Their Work!!
No Disrespect....
If Anyone Knows Who Developed These Apps PM Me, & I'll Be More Than Willing To Give Them 100% Of The Credit!!
Me, Myself....
In "NO" Way!!
Is Trying To Take or Receive Credit For Anything, Just Simply Shared A Few Apps, Never Realized It Would Turn Out So Controversial!!

I think daveid or whatever was mostly pointing out that the way you type is annoying and difficult to read, as in don't uppercase every word. Just say what you want to say.
On topic, thanks for this but I don't want to go downloading 16 apks and installing a bunch of things without knowing what they actually are... can anybody tell me what is worth my time that has tried these?

Hold on.....all sarcasm aside, im really curious.
you posted a lot of things here, and the way your OP makes it sound is that these apps (or "Market Alternatives" as you call them), offer apps that you cannot get on the android market. Is this correct? Or are these, in fact, just another place to get the same apps that are on the Android Market??
Let's ask this different; Have you tried some of the alternative markets? And did you stick to anyone of them?
I totally agree there are a lot of things that could be improved in the stock market, but I'm not going to try all the versions you've posted Can we cross some of the list?
