I love it, paid for it, and use it every day. Why can't he keep his customers and the community updated on progress? How hard is it to post updates on the website? I'm sure he has time to do it more than once a month. Anyone else agree? Just kinda frustrating...

LPP all ready has **** loads of functionality runs fast and smooth (for me at least). It only had abig update quite recently.
I can't say for certain but I imagine a lot of time and effort goes in to getting apps ready for us peeps that have no coding or dev knowledge.
Things are ready when there ready if you impatient create your own launcher

Right now Fede is actually re-coding the entire launcher from the ground up, so don't expect any new features or anything until that gets finished. The transitions update was mainly to keep the competition with ADW EX.
Also as the launcher is (for most people, myself included) flawless, it isn't like he needs to release bug fixes or anything.

I have no problem with him or the program. He teases an update in a week on the website and then we get nothing for a month. Is one line that hard? I know he is recoding the entire program, but customer service is key. If he wants to make money and thrive, he needs to keep his people in the loop.

Right now, the only thing LP has on ADW is custom docks. If LP would incorporate drawer themes like ADW does, it'd be perfect IMO.
If you are not happy, feel free to switch to another Launcher
I think he is not out to make money, if you notice the free version has got all the features except LPP widgets. Why don't you send him an email rather than vent your anger here (probably he won't read this anyway)?

Agreed.
I can't believe you actually started this thread, it's pointless.
CM7 nightly
I switched from LPP after his last sabbatical of updates. He felt pressure from ADW when those videos about the transitions came out, and hadn't had an update for two months.so he put out a "bug fixes and new drawer" thing or whatnot. Then ADW came out with their update right after with transitions. Then Fede came out with a small update with the transitions. Only to be topped by ADW with the ability to customize your dock.
Only thing that HONESTLY is saving Fede...is the widgets. It's the only thing people talk about in the threads, the market, his site, are those. And I'm sure if signals23 wasn't theming them..people would be over them as well.
Bottom line [not judging either], if ADW gets Colorize to work strictly for them [since lpp wont] between those widgets..and adw will simply trump lpp. Theres not much Fede can "rewrite"..honestly. In November he started the rewrite.. December said it'd be here before christmas... Pushed it to new years. Then MLK weekend. Then February. Well..it's almost March...

He certainly got a point there. I am too a customer of LPP and I really love this Launcher because of the smoothness, the Widgets and everything. Always fall back to LPP. But I feel pressure coming from ADW, and GO Launcher seems to develop quite good as well, on top this one is free.
The last few Updates to LPP were rather minimal and not really satisfying. Sure, transitions are a nice addition, but oh well... The Widgets certainly could use a touchup / improvements, whilst the customizabilty needs more variations as well as the App Drawer.
I would LOVE to see the final product of Fede with his rewrite. I am 100% certain that it will kick ass, but that only makes it harder for me to wait.
Not sure why this is pointless. Just as pointless as the "What's your favorite app" threads that pollute this forum. I can vent just liked anyone else. Just as you did...

This is absolutely pointless, just like the "What's your favorite app" threads are absolutely pointless and people like you need a journal to write in or something.
No one cares what you think, and especially no one wants to hear your whining. No one cares what your favorite app is either or whether you like chocolate versus vanilla.
If someone has something constructive and worth while to discuss, that's perfectly fine, but when it comes to *****ing, whining, and random, meaningless opinions and/or preferences, no one cares.
Saying its okay for you to do it because everyone else does is no excuse. Like your mother said, If everyone else jumps off a bridge are you going to do it too?

ADW Ex now has custom docks. At this point, it's not so much features that make the launcher decision, it's the user's preference. Personally, I like LPP's implementation of dock scrolling better than ADW's. The widget implementation is better looking on LPP, as well. Even the screen animations look smoother and better put together on LPP, even though they're a new feature.
So we'll come to a point where features will be identical, but it looks like people will be paying attention to which one has the more solid programing rather than features.
LPP is one of the best launcher out there.. if you dont like it, you can simply switch to another..
LPP is great. I too am very eager to see the new rewrite, but I understand it takes time to get finished. I'd rather Fede spent the time making it as awesome as it can be (and I have faith that it will be quite awesome) than pushing it out as fast as he can.
That being said I would love to get a somewhat accurate idea of a release date or even a feature list... but yeah, should be good when it's ready.
I used to be a LPP fanboy too until I got caught up in too many unkept promises. Might as well just do like other app developers and not promise anything and just surprise us with an update in the market.
Home replacements and apps like these shouldn't have "changelogs"
The only thing stopping me from leaving LPP is the Friend widget and the calender. Pure Calender does not have that same view where you can flick to the next month, and it's ugly. Colorize does not have a combined view of facebook and twitter.
LPP's performance is top notch, and I don't need much more from a launcher than that. The widget resizing and the dock options are nice too. I haven't really used ADW much, but whenever I had to use it initially after installing a new version of CyanogenMod, the thing was always sluggish.
I don't know, I paid for what I got, and I don't mind if there's no new feature updates. Considering the value I got for LPP, I don't mind if there are no further feature updates.

Then quit *****ing... it's pretty simple. If you can't do a better job then how are you going to tell him how to do something you clearly have no knowledge of?
It's not like LauncherPro is this man's main source of income. I'm pretty sure he's got a life outside of writing an app that may take priority (like almost every other dev/coder/developer).
If you're unhappy then switch launchers.
Launcher Pro has (last i check but i could be wrong since i don't specifically read up on changes for ADW Ex) another advantage over ADW Ex that keeps me loyal besides the calender widget.
It's the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. That definately helps to keeps my app drawer neat and tidy.
I've pretty much got everything the way I like it. I was just wondering if anyone knows of a good dragon theme. I use mostly red, black, and white on my phone. So I would like something that doesn't have too many crazy colors. The main thing that I haven't touched is the lockscreen so if anyone knows where I can find just that, that works too.
Running Senseless revolution 2.0 with ADWLauncherEX. With REDemptive 2.2.8.

There are a couple of people who have done dragon themes (Inc and EVO).

I really would love to try and work on my own theme. Unfortunately I only have my Wife's laptop to work with right now. And once April comes around, I will be a full time student. Really the only thing i am looking for is to change the tabs on the lock screen for unlock and vibrate/sound.
Just curious to see what people think of Launcher 7, for those who've tried it. I gotta say, I put it on yesterday out of curiosity, and was surprised by how much I like it. I love Android, and balked at Launcher 7 at first because it was a completely un-Android UI, but maybe it's because I've been on Android for like 2 years now, but I find it really refreshing. I like its simplicity, efficiency, and different sleek look.
I'm curious to see how it does with battery life. I used my navigation/GPS a lot today so my battery went pretty fast, not a good test of Launcher 7. I'm running it over Synergy (lightest Sense ROM I could find) and under battery use it's not even showing up so I'm guessing/hoping it doesn't have a big effect.

Many home launchers don't use much power, i've used GO/LPP and both are normally floating around 1%. Now I used the L7 very long ago, back on my MT3GS, and it was pretty nice to have IMO, I did like the UI's feel overall. But at that time it was still buggy so I think that's why I had abandoned it. I'm a fan of eye-candy so I prefer something more flashy with fancy effects. Which is what GO gives me, it has this cool sphere effect for the app drawer.
Your biggest power drainers will be idle/standnby and Signal, and GPS.

And screen if you're running a Sense ROM. I've always wondered why on a Sense ROM Screen will be like 70% under battery use, but on AOSP only like 5%. I mean, the same screen is being used on all these ROMS right? I've asked that a couple times but never found an answer. Oh well. I'm sure it has something to do with how the ROM is utilizing things, but who knows lol.
Yeah I've been a loyal LPP user for my 3rd party launcher for a while. Love the widgets and the customizable dock. My brother runs GO on his Samsung Galaxy S and is always telling me I should try it, haven't yet but it does look very cool. I've seen pics o that globe app tray thing, looks sick. Is it smooth though?
So far Luancher 7 has been VERY smooth and seems to have minimal battery influence, like you said about 2% I think it wound up being. More than if you weren't using it, but solid nonetheless. I'm doing a lot of driving to new places this week so I'll be using my GPS a lot, it's going to be hard to get an accurate guess of average battery life but as far as function/style I am a big fan.
I will say though that the strength of launcher 7 (simplicity) might turn out to be its ultimate downfall lol. I'm enjoying it now, but it's just been a couple days. I can certainly see myself getting bored with it after a while. It's very functional but there is certainly something to be said for style and flare, and that's one thing it doesn't offer much of.
As an add-on question along with what people think of Launcher 7 in general - I'm curious to hear from any users who are using the donate version - does it offer better performance and features? Or does it just remove the ad in the app drawer? I think it adds a folder feature, which is probably worth the $1.50 in itself, but curious what else it offers.

I think i read somewhere that you can change the autobrightness and stuff of the screen and that sense has theirs up more or something, i don't remember.
But i use adw launcher ex and never see it on my battery stats, so i'm guessing that's good. And it never lags for me either, smooth as butter.

I didn't really notice a difference with the donate version when i used it other than it looks alot better without the annoying ads.
I installed Launcher 7 and used it pretty exclusively for a while.
I got to really like how the UI operated, and found it very quick. But I eventually stopped using it and uninstalled it.
The idea, for me, was to get to a LiveTiles experience, where I could see at a glance how many new emails and social postings I might like to read, upcoming appointments, etc... without having to deal with the rest of the crummy WP7 interface. So I suppose my goal is probably different than many. But I couldn't get there with Launcher 7 (no surprise, since it's built - and named - as a "launcher").
As a simple app launcher, it was decent, for my most-used apps... though the second I needed to use less-used apps, I was somewhat disappointed/frustrated trying to find and run them.
That and, while I eventually understood it wouldn't take me all the way to LiveTiles, the fact that it didn't have (at the time) a clock/date widget that looked decent within the interface (seems like a stupid thing, but actually became a necessity for me) made me opt for something else.
Haha, yep - after about 4 or 5 days, I'm off Launcher 7. It WAS very good and functional, but as I predicted I got bored pretty fast. I play with my phone too much to not have something flashier and more interactive.
Wound up trying Go Launcher Ex, and have to say - it's way better than LPP! Loving it so far!
Question if you read this: how do I get that sphere app drawer thing? Can't find it?
EDIT: NM, I realized they only come up with horizontal app drawer, I had it set on vertical.

Look in the settings of Go launcher, look through all the settings, i've ended up on LPP again b/c it has the Sense3 widget skins, and appears to be running faster for me on miui. With GO I would get many fc's and it would lag sometimes, this started on the newer versions of GO though. Sphere is the app drawer effect, look in effects, when on home screen, press menu, goto preference, and look for effects. Sphere effect is with chariot, binary, random, and the other animations.

having just recently moved from a WP7 to an Android phone Launcher 7 made me feel "back home" instantly. I like the WP7/Launcher 7 home screen with the big tiles; IMO it's a nice, fresh look compared to a large number of Android launchers or iOS. I never liked the 2nd page of the WP7 home screen - a one-column alpabetically sorted list of all installed apps? Boring and not very flexible.
I now use Go Launcher Ex and while I still like the look and feel of the Launcher 7 tiles, I do not miss it.
rom updated to cm7.2 stable and deodexed. nothing else changed, as the vibe i get is its pretty darn good as it sits.
this one was easy, its the cm7.2 stable base, with stuff added on top of it. i tried out ra3al's xperia home replacement, and boy was my mind blown. its just elegant, plain and simple. and it runs pretty good on our hero's too.
things added:
xperia s launcher and widgets from ra3al
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557091
xperia s boot animation
and i added the default wallpaper from ra3al's wallpaper pack available in his app's thread, and added xperia s fonts.
im not a developer, i just borrow things i think are mind blowing. if you want and see fit to, please find donate links for ra3al. he is a real dev, and is insanely talented. all praise to him and other devs.
this is cm7.2 final for our heroc's straight from cyanogenmod, so if something doesnt work that is not related to the xperia apps or theme, please ask cyanogenmod.
everything should work, except for an already known about bug with the tools widget. the brightness setting will fc, and its because i havnt had the chance to sign all of ra3al's apps and this rom with the same stuff. im looking into it.
i suggest using an app such as script manager and using a script such as v6 supercharger to supercharge rom and bulletproof launcher.
also please flash a gb gapps package after installing
now for the download link:

and if you have any feedback, requests, etc, please let me know
Will test tonight report back later

Same here. I saw this ROM on my HTC Evo Shift, I tried it and the widgets didn't work. Hopefully our heros can top that! I do miss the trackball from my hero though. Very helpful in Clockwork! I'll post back when I try it out when I have time!
Running smooth. Really like the launcher and animations. Probably going to keep it till my upgrade in July.

Thank you so much for bringing this smokin' port to the HeroC. I have tried CM 07 previously but this version seriously rocks our lowly Hero!!!!!!!!!! By far, hands down the best ROM I have run on this device...smooth and fast and I have encountered zero issues running this as my daily on Sprint!
sorry it took me so long to respond but im absolutely glad you like it nukeboy
May I ask what have you've changed/added except the launcher? I want to do a same project using the launcher, which is a great app with mind blowing animations, and porting will be time consuming instead of just making my own mod.
Cheers
hey 1ceb0x
i added the launcher and all the associated apks to a clean fresh copy of cm7.2rc3 (which by the way i need to update this so its cm7.2final)
link to launcher and widgets download: http://boekenhuis.net/xperia/xperia_s_home.html
i messed with framework-res.apk and changed out the default wallpaper also
for boot animation, i found an xperia one on google somewhere, cant remember the link off hand
and i replaced some fonts with xperia ones i found through google search (can remember link either).
hope that helps.
The smoothest rom yet!
However, programs sometimes take a long time to load: gmaps, browser, and slacker. I'm assuming these programs expect a faster phone?
I'm not sure, but it seems better than other roms.
yeah some things will be a little bit slow, the pace of android is almost starting to leave us in the dust.
glad you like this rom, and when i get a chance ill update it to cm7.2 final and reupload
Giving this Rom a go. Install and boot went well. Pretty fast 1st boot up. Started up the Market and took two or three times to get to initial screen. Been searching for a couple apps but it seems to stick in loading cycle, and rebooted a couple times but still struggling to find any apps from search as they continue to stick in Loading. Appears to be quick and responsive with touch and movement so far. OK after about five minutes the app Titanium Backup finally came up.
hey cheyennemtn,
glad you like it. those market screwups could have been the market updating, as the gapps usually offered are not exactly bleeding edge.
for titanium backup, i dont personally use it so i can attest to the speed or lack therof on hexperiac, but it could be due to the fact that the heroc is getting older by the day and many programmers are leaving us in the dust left and right.
thanks for testing! if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know. im gonna update this when i get a chance to cm7.2 final, so that might make things move a little smoother also.
Cool
Finally installed gapps!
Great Rom
Anyone who stills owns the Hero has to try this Rom. Extremely smooth once everything warms up. Use it with V6 supercharger and it is awesome for a device that is as old as ours.
as a wifi enabled device only
i love going back to the Hero and checking out new ROMs. good work on this one, fun! i primarily use it in airplane mode (with wifi on).
i'm kind of surprised no one has put out (that i've seen) a ROM that removes the radio, dialer and messaging apps. i wonder if i could remove the apps with titanium without screwing things up. no big deal but it would be nice to not see the No Service message.

That's the one good thing a about all flavours of Android they are highly customizable. As for Apple they make a great product don't get me wrong, but I think the main reason Apple is losing traction is because it treats is users like children, you can only have a cookie is mommy says you can

Actually, I think Apple is losing ground because better technology has been coming out at more and more affordable rates, and Android has been getting better and better each year. I know of a lot of people who went from the old Android (the crap, free ones basically) to Apple because of how ****ty Android used to be, compared to Apple. However, with the better, affordable tech that has been coming out, it's given people a chance to see how good Android is now, so people don't have this "amagawd, I'm computer illiterate so I must use Applez" mindset as much anymore.
Also, I think that Steve Jobs was a really great marketeer. Without him to convince people to love the new products.. I think people just don't feel as excited.

IT IS TIME WE STOP BUYING INTO APPLE'S ISSUES WITH SAMSUNG & ANDROID. It is the reason Adobe stopped supporting Flash on mobile which we all like. TouchWiz looks a lot better than stock Android with the black app drawer. TW is just adds a transparent affect among other things plus the multitasking. Somebody should be trying to make stock Android and IOS look more polished liked TouchWiz.

What the hell are you talking about?! I didn't see the OP mention anything about Apple or Samsung. This is a thread about making Touchwiz look more like AOSP. I don't mean to be rude, but if you aren't interested you don't have to read the thread.

I agree with OP I hate the blue divider on the nav bar, In fact, the nav bar seems to cluttered imo. Having the nav bar time out to the dots on every app would be a good work a round. If its a matter of theming im sure it can be done quite easily.
Wow! I thought this thread went completely ignored and got no replies.
So sorry guys, I had very little success and got discouraged.
I didn't know there was actually activity here.
I'm down for giving it another try though. (lol, I replied 5 months later)
@ckavvouras That looks awesome! Can you share how you did that please? Or share your systemui.apk?
@edirector What the deuce are you talking about?
@relldroid Yeah I think the faded 3 dots look so clean! But I just couldn't find the image in the roms I searched in.
