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.

3d app drawer on sense ui

I Hope I am putting this in the right place, if not I am sorry!!! I was wondering if there is a way to add the 3d app drawer that is on Launcher pro onto htc sense ui? If anyone knows of a way please let me know I will be greatful!!!!!!! [email protected]

No it's not

Just use LauncherPro.

I like the some of the htc widgets that sense ui has
there must be a way to port that 3d app drawer over

As far as I know the app drawer isn't an app, and it's part of the default home app. The reason LauncherPro has the 3D one is because they wrote that all themselves - they control EVERYTHING.

LauncherPro Plus has started creating widgets that are almost identical to the HTC widgets. As of now, only the People widget is released, but more are on the way.

I agree 100% and if anybody finds a how too I'd be interested in it too.
Could a theme change the app drawer?

No. It isn't possible. Move on to a superior launcher and get replacement widgets.

Are you sure about that? There has never been a mod to an htc app?

I have tried everything i can think of before and I could never get it to work is is a part of the home screen I would even settle for adw with 3d like I have with froyo on my droid

The people widget for launcher pro is it something that needs to be downloaded from the market or is it in launcher pro already. I didn't see under widget in launcher pro so I wonder if it needs to be downloaded from the market.

It's in Launcher Pro Plus, it's a paid app.

Sense widgets won't work with another launcher

Yes, I'm sure he knows that. That's why he wants to port a LauncherPro feature to Sense instead of switching to LauncherPro.

I did switch to a superior launcher... when I set HTC sense as my default. I've tried the others and bottom line I don't like how they look and I'm not going to go hunt down and pay for apps and widgets that are half as good as my HTC ones.
On here I've tried different themes, roms and all kinds of stuff, and I would really doubt that just changing the app drawer is impossible

Launcher pro (free and paid) allow you to have a 3d app drawer.

I was in the OPs shoes until the other day, you REALLY should give LauncherPro another shot because there are widgets out there better than HTC Sense's. LauncherPro Plus includes a people widget, Fancy Widget = HTC Sense's clock, pure calendar grid= freaking awesome calendar, Pure messenger = way better than friendstream... seriously you should check them out.

I will do that thanks for tip!

I had a 3d one similar to what the Nexus has on my phone.

Does the sensation support panoramic wallpaper?

I downloaded acircuit board live wallpaper and all the videos I see shows it move as they slide over pages.
Not just that, but even my brother's galaxy s 4G background move as he swipes left and right.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

With Sense, no. With another launcher, yes

Try Launcher Pro, or ADW. They both support scrollable wallpapers.

Do either of those launchers change the way the sensation homescreen looks? I really like the way sense 3.0 is laid out so I would rather that over a panoramic wallpaper.
Btw, did what does a launched do exactly and can I uninstall it like any other application?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

No the other launchers do not look like the stock launcher on the Sensation (which is called Sense 3.0). They are based on other software and allow customization of the home screens and app drawers and such. If you wanted to you can have both installed and use an app like Home Launcher to switch back and forth between Sense and the other launchers for when you want your phone to look a certain way. And yes you can uninstall them just as easily as any other app.

[Q] Launcher Pro Plus App Drawer Shortcut on Homescreen

hi guys!
i want to completly remove my dock, and add the app drawer button directly on the homescreen. but i didnt find a shortcut or an activity for this.
using Launcher Pro Plus and Desktop Visualizer.
any ideas?

I don't use LP so I can't help you... but if you want to get really funky and go one step further, you can install Prox without even using a shortcut (as long as you have a proximity sensor).
Not what you asked for I know

wow that looks pretty cool, im gonna play with it
but i think i takes much battery....

Only when the screen is on. I use a Tasker profile to turn my screen off using the proximity sensor. It really doesn't use much battery at all.

kk, i give it a try
thx bro!

I didn't think LP let you remove the dock completely. If you try ADW, you can do exactly that--that"s the way I use it. I specify no dock, five icon rows, and put an app drawer shortcut on the home screen.

sure, I can set the dock (icons) blank. thats all

Got it--I guess you end up with an empty row at the bottom of the screen. Didn't even think of that.

Even better: set your swipe down gesture to hide dock, go to homescreen, swipe down and hide it, then go back and change swipe down to whatever you want to. Presto: no dock!

For me the easiest solution is what I mentioned above. Use ADW and specify no dock in the settings. I'm using Launcher 7 at the moment--no dock there either.

my problem is not the dock...
I want to set the app drawer to the homescreen. and I want to stay on LPP (resize widgets).
I just want the app drawer button "in the middle of the screen".

That's easy then. iirc it's Long press Homescreen/Add Shortcut/Launcher Activity/Open App Drawer.
Or something similar.

Same problem
I just google it to find how to add app drawer shortcut on launcher pro and find this link. I am using ADW Launcher EX but for some strange reason it can't add widgets over MIUI roms and also do not support MIUI icons, It use it owns icon pack so for that reason I install launcher pro, I can add widgets with it and it uses MIUI icons. Strange case here too no way to add app drawer shortcut

Change icons on lock screen

Hi Guys,
First time poster. I'm using Go Launcher Ex on an unrooted HTC Sensation. I have all my icons themed, but the four icons that show up for my lock screen are still set as the stock icons. Is there a way that I can change these using Go Launcher? Don't know if I could handle rooting.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App

I don't think so, because the lockscreen is a sense feature so it uses stock icons, not go launcher themed icons.
Sent from my brain

you have to stick each go launcher icon inside each apk you want to change for instance if you have a phone icon replace it in the dialer apk it should be name dialer.png

But don't you need root to edit the stock dialer apk?

you have to change them while using the stock launcher. Clear the default from Go Launcher, press home, change your lockscreen, then set Go Launcher as your default.

You can't change the style of the icons though, can you? (I think that's what op was getting at)

Sorry, should have clarified. I don't need to change the function, just the look.
