I am using virusrom airborn senseless. I also purchased launcher pro plus to use with it and downloaded a theme but when I go to the preferences menu and select a widget it doesn't give me the option to skin it. I do have launcher pro 8.4 and I can use a stock widget without it prompting me to "buy" the pro version now but still, no skinning options. I also dont have the people widget. I have searched all over to figure out what I am doing wrong but forgive me if this has an obvious fix because somehow I am missing something. I also just rooted my thunderbolt 2 days ago for the first time and this is all new to me but so far I have managed to not mess anything up even with trying new roms and kernels etc! LOL! So please speek idiot to me! Thanks!

Send an email to the launcherpro plus dev through the market.

Alright, email sent but I am not so sure its the app. I think its something I am doing.... When I can I will post this in the airborne thread where it belongs.

You have to be on 8.5 pro to use the LP Pro Widgets and skin them. You can download the unlock key in the market or order it on fede's site. Themes are available on the market and various places online. Some are free, some are not...

Oh! OK! That would make sense then! I'll try that!

Well, that's not the answer. I did download it from his site and I just downloaded the 8.5 version from his site and it won't install. It has to do withvthe fact that airborne has a custom launcher pro on it I think. So I think my question has changed to is there a way around this? I have even tried downloading another launcher and uninstalling launcher pro with an uninstaller to no avail.

Uugh 3 more posts and I can ask this in the right forum... OK no more post count boosting replies! LOL!

Did you buy the pro version? Because that's what you need to do to use skins.
Sorry, I'm going to spam my own thread twice. I'll add something that actually counts as a post though... LOL! I'm thinking I can't do it because of the themed version of launcher pro. I really want pink Widgets though... :-(

Yes. I did but it doesn't give me the option of upgrading to 8.5... There. I think that's 10 posts!

If you post this in developement it will get moved here. Developement threads are only for actual developement issues. This wouldn't be considered a developement issue.
I have used launcher pro plus and after eading your post again, you cannot skin things with it. When you apply a theme, the theme will change what it is meant to change(whatever the developer programmed it too) but you cant do any more than that. If you want to skin widgets and change their look/color. You will need a deoxed rom and/or a program that give you the ability to skin or create custom widgets and app icons.
As for the people widget, that is available with the pro plus version (why u cant access it is wierd) so you will have to ask the developer about that.
To anyone here, if Im wrong about any of this, please correct me..
Yeah, I figured that out so I didn't do it. Not trying to be a rule breaker, this is just bugging me. I think the only thing I can do is hope someone will create a more feminine theme for this rom or figure out how to do it myself!
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
You can ask the rom dev if it is possible to get a more femenine themed version.

Thanks for the explanation. I am going to give up I guess with this train of thought and maybe there will be more themes created. Its just that it seems there are mostly men on here and you all create MANLY themes! ;-D

Have you tried the theme
"LauncherPro s23 Honeycomb-Pink" its in the market for free

Nope, didn't see it. What I REALLY want is a hot pink version of the blue airborne theme! I'd even be willing to pay for someone to do it for me if anyone can and wants to! LOL!

Try this, I'm not 100% sure I'm getting your whole picture but lets try something. download adw launcher. once that is installed tap your menu and choose the adw launcher. once that comes up and your using that. get and use titanium backup and remove the launcher pro launcher which should be part of your rom. once all traces of lpp is gone. reboot. NOW go to the market and download launcher pro and apply your key. you should now be able to modify lpp to your liking and install any theme you might like. To apply the themes to the widgets I believe you need to go to menu-preferences-LP widget settings-select EACH widget you want to theme and hit select skin and choose the one you want. Of course this is after installing them widget themes. Hope this helps you alone.
Hi to everyone.
First if this kind of post is frowned upon I do apologizes, but as you read on you will see why it's necessary. As the blog for ADW has the comments closed, i suspect the out pour of requests for folders in the drawer has caused Anderweb to become frustrated as well.
I have been a hard core ADW user and love the launcher more than any other, it's fast, feature rich and meets all my needs but one....
Andrweb has decided to adopt a categories view for the drawer and as cool as that is, it's just not something i can get use too. trust me i have tried, several times.
I really just wish we could have folders, I can have all my apps on one page and folders with names just works with the way my brain works.
So with out further a due here is my begging post, please Anderweb can you help me out and add the option to have folders in the drawer, the way you have them on the desktop is sick (love it) and adding that feature to the drawer would be awesome.
As for adding comments about other launchers, please save them for another post. No need to fill this with try this try that. I have tried almost every launcher and ADW is what I'm comfortable with.
if you are with me and a loyal ADW user and would also like to see folders added to the drawer please share your thoughts and maybe with the power of word we can get this feature added or at minimum a reply from Anderweb saying he will never add the feature and at that point I/we can decide if we want to move on.
this post is in no way interned to offend Anderweb or any other person, no animals or live stock we're harmed writing this post. In fact a few trees have been saved. LOL

Completely agree, adw badly needs folders in the app drawer.

I agree also and a new update would be nice too and some new transitions to the app drawer and main screen would be awesome.

Thanks Guy's glad to see you feel the same way.
I think a lot (10% ?) of ADW user's might have already left waiting for folders in the drawer. plus update's.
Maybe if we can get everyone to post we can send Anderweb the link here.
So share the link to people you know use adw and want folders in the drawer.
Should have titled the post, folders in the drawer. Kind of catchy. lol
Ok i have been thinking of this to much. lol
I thought this post would get more hits, maybe I'm the only one waiting for folders in the app drawer.
i too agree with this

Unfortunately I too have left my ADW Pro copy uninstalled because of folders in the drawer, using instead Go Launcher as well... I'll much prefer to use ADW, but the categories in ADW are too "clunky" to actually use at this time, well in my mind I should say.
I use ADW on my transformer with ICS and love it. I never used folders in android but I use my tablet for work and sometimes I find myself looking through a slew of apps looking for what I want. I could see putting all my work stuff into a folder would make things easier.
I also like to hide apps that Widgets and launchers throw in there, plus apps I never use like Latitude. On family members tabs, I like to hide root apps and file explorers and the likes.
Thank god for android and choices!

I switched to go for a while, I found after a while go launcher slowed down. Plus I don't need all of go launchers options.
Hopefully we will get folders in the app drawer soon.

I just had an idea, does anyone know anderweb?
Maybe if he has stopped developing it he might release the source code for another person to work on it.
Hmm, just an idea.
ok so we just need a dev who wants to tweak it? any takers?

Really? I find ADW a tad bit laggy in my scroling experience. Guess its different for different people.
Sent from my Legend using xda premium
guess the need for folders in the app drawer is not as big of a deal as i thought. or most have moved on.
I have been pestering go launcher to add 7 icons to the dock. the dev said he tried but it looks bad. i asked him to try adw or zeam as both have the ability to add more icons to the dock and both do it well. time will tell if the dev adds this to go.
gloves are off, maybe adw will wait tell next Christmas to release an update? same as last year, no updates but a new one for Christmas. must have needed some extra cash... LOL
the free version of adw is already open source. that is why cyanogenmod used to use it long ago. only adw ex (paid) is not open source i think.
http://code.google.com/p/adw-launcher-android/
Am I the only one to find that ADWLauncher EX is more complicated and harder to use than the free version? I had to roll back to the free version just a while after trying the EX one. I love the scatter transition effect which is not available in Ex and I really hate the 2-line app labels.
Morever, I can't access Launcher settings in my phone settings. It was not there and I had to make a shorcut on my Home screen. Maybe because I had my free version still installed. Doesn't matter, Free ADWLauncher ftw.

No progress, I think anderweb has walked away from developing adw.
Maybe a new dev will work on the open source and bring adw back to life, or wait for next Christmas when he wants some extra money. LOL

I'm using ADW, I have tried every launcher out there and really like ADW the best, at least for Ginger bread. I'm not into all the extra features like most other launchers. I also like zeam but it to is missing folders in the apply drawer. Plus I like ADW'S style of folders on the home screen.
Now when my xperia s gets ics ill move over to apex launcher.
Curious why you asked?
another reasons why i swicth to go launcher
but i still like adw
if adw put just folder option
i will switch back again
nb : i just need that option to put my program in adw
im falling in love with ACE
I know there are threads with this question... but i think things has change...
wish one is the best launcher atm??? ive use Go Launcher, TW, Panda and some others, but still cant decide wish to keep!! im jumping from one to otheer!
I d rather say ADW is a pretty good and faultless launcher,if u use ICS rom, i would recommend trebuchet. :thumbup:

APEX, fast and simple.
Nova Launcher
The version Prime of Nova Launcher is the best ... most personalized launcher ...

Have a look at this thread. It's got a few different launchers and lockscreens shown in there and I'll be updating it upon request. Even though it's only showing the information from the Play Store, it's still much easier to have them all in one place, like it is.

Holo Launcher is one of my favorite ! : here
You can try the Xperia-home launcher --> it's a great launcher, fast and powerfull. A lot of custom romm use it by default.
And FTL (Faster Than Light) launcher --> really great too and not discontinued so it'll improve ^^
Until today I've tried holo, adw ex, go launcher.
I think I stick to adw, it has cool animation, 4d drawer and eats an admissible amount of ram.
Go launcher is freaking nice but kills down my phone.
Holo is the fastest I've tried but lacks in customization.

Hello!
look at this video:
youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=PhKxpYRip18&NR=1
So i want to ask the developers here..is any way to create a luncher or something else like taht?
i think its can be very very cool and popular launcher.
so...what do you think?
btw sorry for my bad english..
There is actually something like that around on Android. PIE from/in Paranoid Android is one you should be looking for. There are more custom launcher that have similar functions, but PIE is the smoothest.

I have an idea for a home replacement. I don't think this exists yet, but correct me if I'm wrong.
I my idea is a vertical and horizontal scrolling home screen. I like launchers like Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Something feature filled without being bloated
I am nowhere near skilled enough to develop such an application, but I would be very pleased to see such an application developed.
Tell me what you guys think! Am I insane for hoping somebody will do this?
