I have a Thunderbolt and I am considering switching to a Charge however I hate Touchwiz with a damn passion. I mean, it's the most god aweful thing I've ever seen. To that end I went to the Verizon store to play with a Charge and I installed Launcher Pro to test it out. I uninstalled it before I left but I thought someone on the fence may care to see it.
See video and pictures below.

Yeah Launcher Pro works really well. I go for a very simple, clean setup with only 1 homescreen, and put my most used apps on the 3 docks, and each dock icon also has a swipe shortcut, so that's 30 quick access apps without the visual clutter.

Where'd you get those toggles from?
I was thinking of getting the Charge. It looks pretty sick. Thanks for the LauncherPro video!

You're welcome. I am probably about to go pay full price for it actually.
VZW wouldn't do anything for me since I've had the TBolt since launch day. First month I had it I was working till 9 nightly... like I would notice battery life or have time to fix it. Whatever.

I found ADW to be easier top work with, and the themes better.
Launcher Pro was smoother and snappier though.

It has been updated with new settings and it's working great thus far.
Nice, will check that, thanx!
comments on performance?
My Milestone @ 1ghz seems to die with this thing running. Feels like someone slowed my phone down to 125mhz.
I have this wallpaper, and it is working great for me. I've had it on all for about 10 hrs now, and my battery is still basically full.
Just thought I would comment on my results. If I turn off the CPU hog setting the animations are way smooth! and I see no change on my battery.
running on a nexus with 2.2
It's really nice.
Battery is absolutely cool. NBo greater consumption here and my nexus has no problem with the speed.
Imho the new adw.launcher is the best home replacement! It's like launcher pro but it's nicer and more options. I recommend to all or at least give it a try and please tell what you think...
+1
I was waiting and waiting for this to finally come packaged in a method not requiring root. It's super sleek and has a ton of options. I love it.
thanks I was just looking for a new home replacement too
I definitely love the insane amount of options but I dunno, just didnt do it for me. Im gonna have to give this one to LauncherPro.
where can I find it at? is it called Adw.launcher?

Wow, its a nice launcher...I do wish for an option to save settings to sd card.
Installed once, and it was nice. I tried reinstalling it and I can't get it to come up. How do you start it initially? Last time I just hit the home button and it gave me the option...

Am I the only person that has noticed a somewhat annoying amount if lag with this launcher?
While I can say it's a nice looking launcher, I just can't say that I would use it in a day to day basis.

Are you using LWP's. That might be your problem.This is fast and smooth for me. If you have them take them off and see if that's your problem.

I'm not sure this install includes the apps, like Allshare. After reading and then searching,i didn't see any references to it. It looks like its just the shell. Can anyone confirm? I would hate to add any more bloatware if I don't have to. I only want Allshare.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Correct its basically just the launcher shell
Its the fully working launcher, if your saying it does not have widgets your correct but no launcher comes with widgets. I know the guy its working on getting the widgets working as well.
I like rosie and the widgets the best my self, but the launcher works well but way to much like a iphone for me.
I can't install any of these without getting an application not installed warning.
Is there a work around?
confirmed... the launcher works fine on the evo. kinda plain with just the message and app icon on the bottom but the app drawer is nice. time to jazzy up the home screens a bit
Im with u....keeps giving me the same errors. do the phone have to be rooted or something

Any way to add more than just the message and app icon?
yea i really need a link to phone if im going to use it at all. exited for the widgets though.
note for anyone switching between this and other launchers, make sure you close this one when switching back if you dont reboot your phone, it will drain resources and battery.
Yeah its easy to add more icons to the bottom as seen in these pics, just while app draw is open hit menu/edit and drag the icons down and also you can re-order the apps as well.

Look at the clock / weather widget combo, that's awesome. One of the (slightly) few reasons I love my HD2. Why can't something like this appear on Android devices, something like this would ROCK on the Evo.
Why would you want 3 clocks? I've seen widgets a lot like that (for android), I think it was beautiful widgets.

Yes, the redundancy is very overwhelming.
Beautiful widgets, you can even clone that if your up to the challenge using the available tools.
But as the previous posters said, 3 clocks? OCD much?
something like this?
drifter.anu.edu.au/android/like_this.png
can't add outside links, apparently I'm a new user.
beautiful widgets has several skins and you can add your own. IMO its the best clock/weather app you can find.
I don't mean the analog clock, although it's still nice. I meant the look of the whole widget, beautiful widgets looks cheap, at least the weather animations do :/

It is completely customizable, 100%, create your own and make it look the way you want it to look.
And there are a few dozen different weather animations, from silly to amazingly real.
Obviously you do not have it yet or you would know this, but its worth the few bucks.

I was able to freeze the twlauncher in Titanium Backup.
Excellent. Great to know. Thanks.
If you are going to freeze your launcher make sure you have another one installed first. Might be obvious, but just saying.
