WhatsApp does not allow external applications to access messages. We have sent them an email about it.

Excellent work!
Just installed, gave it a whirl for 5 minutes and paid for licence.
Tip top.
Thanks
EDIT: Stock email and RSS news widgets would be great for a future release.

I found this app by chance and love it. I can't stop talking about how nice it is.
I'd LOVE an orange theme, similar to BigDX's Orange Serenity for LP. Or something close.

Very very good.
I would just ask for losing the text shadows. Or adding an option.
And if cause, a news rss widget.
Have already uninstalled Colorize

Thank you...

People judge by the default theme instead of the actual functionality.
Just check the 'Use Thin Frame' and suddenly it won't look like LP.
Lets take the people widget as an example
APW shows Facebook pictures of contacts.
APW allows you to change click action to direct dial or direct message (even for each contact separately).
APW can sort contacts by frequently called first (In the paid version it even allows custom order and creation of custom groups).
APW can show contacts also in a list view.
It is true that LP widgets have their advantages like month flipping in the calendar and generally they behave much better on Launcher Pro
(Note: Launcher pro only support an old scrollable widgets API so any scrollable widget except for LP's own is not as slick as it could be).
We have absolutely nothing against Launcher Pro, it is a great launcher !
You are all free to try both

'use thin frame' should be enabled by default.

Do you plan to implement notifications with read, unread, mark all as read etc. options like colorize widgets have?
Edit: colorize widgets doesn't have this option. I remeber seing it somewhere but I can't remeber where.

mod edit

Make it to Gingerbread 2.3.x please

The Play store is reporting that Solo Launcher is incompatible with my Archos 80 G9 running Android 4.0.4. I'm using Nova on it now with no issues, but given this tablet's limited resources (only 512MB of RAM) I'd love to give Solo a try on it!

Always some troubles with folder in app drawer ... the creator has changed the display its OK now but till last version no way to create or modify folder in app drawer...
Otherwise its a good launcher

I have set the unread count on go sms instead of my normal messaging app but it does not show anything. Is there a way that this can be added? Or am I doing something wrong.
EDIT: Works fine now, not sure why it didn't activate immediately

It's come a long way since I first tried it put. I would consider this a true contender towards Nova and Apex, but I will prefer Action Pro.

I don't know why your launcher need so many permission. Much Much more than the other launcher.
It seem you have not answer this question even many XDA member asked about this.

This launcher again? This is the third thread (that I know of) about this launcher and it gets taken down each time.
Dev also doesn't explain the need for so many permissions for the launcher.

The Dev of this app seem also try to make use of XDA's name in their (Chinese) app description to make people trust their app. I copy part of this below;
說明

Description
Solo Launcher Free version - State of the art android launcher developed by XDA honor members! Compatible to Nova Launcher, Go Launcher......
