Launcher pro beta in the Market.

There is a new launcher in the market right now that im using it works great.it called launcherpro.
I would install "home switcher"also in the market. That way while you are setting up your new layout you can go back and fourth. Without being interrupted by that a default prompt.
Launcher pro has single tap of home button that brings up the leap view, and it also has pinch to leap. With added gesture of dialer, contacts, internet, and messages at the bottom of every page.
Also it has a app launcher similar to the N1. Without the 3d cube effect.
Very responsive worth a try, only downfall is none of the htc widgets work while using this launcher. Bc their widgets are tired in to it.
I use the flip clock from the market, its customizable.and dolphin hd with their bookmarks widget and the friendstream app , that way it still has a sense feel to it.
UPDATE: Dev updated the home button to have the option of going to default screen or to the leap view. Also has auto rotation wich is something sense does not allow.

Its definitely intetesting, I just don't know how long I could deal with missing things like the friendstream widget.
That being said, I really like the app drawer. Its very awesome!

Exactly! Gotta have the sense widgets. I use for HelixLauncher 2 for about 5min then I have to switch back to sense.

You can pull from your app drawer the friendstream app, that's really all I miss, the sense widgets look great but are too big for my liking. If you use beautiful widgets from their clock you can set shortcuts to, calender, clock alarm, and weather.

i downloaded launcherpro. i only have 3 screens, unlink with sense when i have like 5 or something. also i have no idea what this app drawer, maybe its the menu button thing that opens all your apps, but if it is its the same thing as sense except cool animation.
also side note, im using chompsms widget, i saw some pics of someone using it and it had pic of the person in the widget, do i need to donate to get that or what?

It has three by default. Hit the menu button then preferences you can have up to seven screens.

Found it, downloaded it, used it, deleted it.
If I diddnt have sense, I'd be all over this. But for me, it just seems a little redundant. I personally, prefer the real thing.

Any suggestions for a 3d weather app

I been using miui weather app but it fc and doesn't have geolocation so any suggestions other than beautiful Widgets and 3d weather home?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

i used to use miui as well but it rapes your battery and doesnt have gps. so i switched to weather bug elite. it has gps and the battery usage is truly minimal. its not as much eye candy as miui but it works alot better.

3d digital weather clock. Free in the market. Its just like the nice lg one

Launchers?

Anyone else have a rooted phone but not a new rom and use a custom launcher?
I have tried most of them, but have narrowed it down to Zeam(which i use on my nook color) or Go launcher - what are your favorites? I like the theme options on Go.

What does a new ROM have to do with a custom launcher?
I use LauncherPro. I've heard positive things about GO and ADW.

Nothing specific just that I wanted to make it obvious I do not have a custom rom as sometimes that will change the basic home screen anyway.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Yeah the ROM will also have a custom launcher, but if you put another custom launcher, it will look the same as without the ROM. Doesn't matter if you're rooted, either.

Im using stock deodexed rooted with launcher pro

using spb shell 3d

LauncherPro has been the most stable and snappy for me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

i started using MXHome, it is a regular launcher for the most part with some really nice features. A full 3d home cover along with what MX is calling a "smart" appdrawer. It allows you to put your apps in alphabetical, sort by category and other options. I am currently using the glass theme and it is really nice. Check out this vid on YouTube to see some of it's features in action:

I like this look.

I prefer Go Launcher with the themes and app drawer transition effects and that it has running apps and recent apps tabs in the app drawer.

Using zeam launcher, very nice app and low memory use
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

Using Zeam Launcher for low memory foot print, and has most of the functions Launcher Pro has.

Go Launcher is no doubt my favorite, nice simple features...everything seems to make sense....and that's after trying Zeam, Launcher Pro, SPB (another favorite but I get tired of the flashiness after a while), and adw is nice also.

[REQUEST] Special Launcher for Widgets

I have a lot of widgets and lot of them are fullscreen widgets.
They need a lot of space and a lot of homescreens and switching between that many screes is a hell lot tedious.
I would suggest some developer to try making a launcher with following feature.
Icons for widgets. Click the 1x1 icon to see the full widget.
Others may put their ideas too...

What widgets are you folks using these days?

I have found myself creating only shortcuts to apps lately rather than only using widgets. I always liked the appeal of being able to use the widgets, but it just seems easier for me to use the app shortcuts these days. Only widgets I'm using are weather and clock.
So what other widgets are you guys currently using? Just wanting to know if I am missing out on a cool widget. They are after all one of the things that make owning an Android unique.
