Something up with Launcher Pro?

The website and forum are offline, and people over on Android Forums are reporting that their version of Launcher Pro has 'expired'. Anyone know anything?

Mine is working

Not getting the expired message but wanted to search the launcher pro forums for an issue I have and get a 403 Forbidden page.

My LauncherPro is working fine, it seems these posters may have downloaded something - two threads so far, but one of the guides said these reports are popping up all over the place. Be careful what you download and install!

a coworker of mine had the issue today of the launcher actually expiring and had no way out of his browser, and i guess the launcherpro website was down? anyway, I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)

My LPP is also working fine. ADW or GO launchers would work for people with issues. I was also able to get to the site just fine (launcherpro.com), but yes, the forums were down.
Most likely a switch to a different server or hosting company, or website update. That's the simplest explanation.

Same with me - no problems.

Here's an update
Seems the developer has screwed up on this one. From this post on Android Forums (this is Fede speaking):
That's my bad actually, I didn't realize that if you had an old LP Beta set as your default, you wouldn't be able to use it to open the market to download a newer version after it expired.
Future versions will automatically send you to the market to get the new version. At this point, the only thing you can do is install ADB and use it to install a newer version, or use ADB to uninstall LP and then install from the market again.

He's generating a lot of ill will from this.

For some reason, a small percentage of LP users decided to be idiots and not update the app for the last month (0.8.2 came out Dec. 7th) and now the previous version has expired.

No, that isn't the problem. They're running an old beta that has expired. Those who use the market version, and those who paid for the app, aren't having the problem.

Can anyone access the launcherpro website? I get a blank page. This is really weird because Fede is usually very responsive.

Fede seems to be hiding, this is a PR disaster for him. The best thing to do at this point is to be forthcoming, own up to it, and give clear instructions on how to fix it.

I have to agree, Fede needs to own up to whatever this problem is. Even though I think the vast majority of LauncherPro users like myself have no problem, we keep the app updated and got it from the market. I wonder if this will effect his re-write of LauncherPro he has been promising?

Fede is doing a complete Rewrite.
Changes take time.....Not, everything is as easy and as fast as we would all like it to be.
Complications do happen. Its part of the game.
Be Patient......I'm sure he will get it all fixed soon enough.

With all due respect, This is more than a little 'complication'. Rewrites do take time, but if your customer base has lost faith in your product because you don't show excellenct support on a critical app like a launcher, you won't have anyone to rewrite for...

I don't think many will lose faith with Fede at all. And those that do can find another launcher to moan about.
Fede has a very loyal fan base, and most will stick with him as his is one of the best, if not the best, creation on this os.
People will always moan, and then find something else to moan about.
Fede won't have anyone to rewrite the app for?
What a ridiculous thing to say.

Who said it wasn't? The point is, his program is everywhere on Android phones, many people who have no technical skills at all have it, and it seems to have 'broken' their phones. His lack of statement regarding the problems and offering workaround for it are the problem. As for 'finding another launcher to moan about' really? That's all it is, the consumer's fault? I think there's a job for you at AT&T.

No, not really. The anger is all over the internet. He needs to do damage control to help his reputation.
I love the LauncherPro program, I've had it since I started, I paid for it right off the bat. I do that with all developers. I will say I haven't found him to be very forthcoming with assistance - then again, until now (and still, for me), there haven't been issues like this that needed addressing. My only point is he needs to get in front of this and fix it or yes, his reputation will be damaged for many. Not you, not me, but there are plenty of others who are extremely unahppy.

Apparently Lifehacker has been in touch with Fede or found a response somewhere on the interwebs.

Steampunk Theme... I think I've done it!

I have collected icons, walls, made some of my own stuff and compiled it all into a steampunk theme running on the 31-DEC release of Vanilla Froyo2.2 CM6.2.1.
First off I need to give credit to manup465 and tekrodriguez for the work they did in the other droid forums.
More Vintage, Less War by Manup465
Rusty Metal Theme by tekrodriguez
I don't know if anyone is interested in this... i did some modifications to a lot of the core app .apk's and it could possibly cause problems if you're running a different theme. I'm not going to post an theme.zip unless you let me know that you really want it. This was more to prove to myself I could pull it off. Let me know what y'all think!

Yes... that "coppertop" battery is my creation. I'm pretty proud of it!

I've been looking for something like this for years! Can I run it on t-mobile touch pro 2 running WM 6.5? (I guess it's manilla)
Beautiful work.

Umm... there is a ridiculously huge thread devoted to the rom I'm running... it's over in the development section... i believe jaybob413 is the originator of the thread and it has had many, many updates. I believe it's still on page one of the development section... says Froyo2.2 right in the subject line.
to everyone else... I'm happy to make my wallpaper and icons available to you, but to theme your phone you'd have to manually change your framework-res.apk and the application .apk files yourselves. I'm sorry, but with a family and two jobs, I don't have that kind of time. I'll try to work on a zip file to make the image files available sometime soon.

Yes... it's ADW launcher. I'll post the images asap. Unfortunately, LauncherPro only allows you to change the images of the dockbar. ADW allows you to change the images of any non-widget on the desktop. However, in my mod, I actually took the time to change the framework-res.apk and the application .apk's so it shows up changed in the drawer as well. I just don't have time to do that for everyone. sorry!

I know, if you read the post I was quoting he was asking about running it on windows mobile 6.5 on a touch pro 2, I stand firm on my statement that it wont work on that phone

I know this is kind of old and i am just about to ask quite a bit so I will begin. I recently began getting interested in the steampunk subculture and I remember looking at this and thinking it is kind of nifty. So my questions are 1. Would anyone be willing to revive this theme and 2. If so would they be willing to meld it somehow with the Gingersense theme? I think it would look pretty amazing

[Theme] Infinite Cha0s X for Liberty 2.0.1

Alrighty then, here we go. Infinite Cha0s X now up and running. I have decided to do the Market as an add-on due to various compatibility issues some testers have had. I managed to flash in succession: Market versions 2.2.7, 2.2.11, and 2.3.6 without need to freeze the MarketUpdater, or wiping ANYTHING. Not a single force close. However, even trying to flash a themed version of the same one included in the rom (2.2.11) failed for some of my other testers, sometimes not even showing up in the app drawer at all. Long story short, flash with caution or at least take the steps detailed here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/li...ty-market-update-ver-2-3-6-a.html#post1454796
Features -
3D style buttons, both rectangle and round. (Round ones actually "depress").
Lots of inverted apps: Gmail, Talk, Market, Messaging, and Google Voice.
Complete theme - All apps included themed 90%+. Many have had EVERY image replaced or modified.
Sweet custom Wifi / 3G / Signal Bars / Battery icons.
Blue, white, or abstract blue pattern highlights (depending on what it is...)
Dark blue progress bar.
Too many more things to list...
Apps Included:
Browser
Calculator
Camera
Contacts
Desk Clock

Gallery 3D

Haha! Thanks for the kind words, and I was thinking the SAME thing, and was almost thinking of posting it before I noticed you wrote. I know the Motorola stuff isn't as big over here, but was hoping for SOMEONE to notice this. LoL Guys, if you are running Liberty, and you like blue at all, you'll really love the amount of depth and detail that my theme has... Don't be scared. Peace.

Nice work bro,
There are a few pluses and minuses
Good:
Deeply themed!
Good colors!
Nothing really missing
Bad:
Images aren't very sharp
It doesn't look super professional and looks like this theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002986 except yours looks better.
But I think if you could sharpen up the images a little bit to make it look a lot more pro and maybe more minimalist this could be a great theme!
Good luck!
Ljbaumer

Hey man, thanks for props and constructive criticism. Unfortunately I know of no way to make images sharper, as most of the images are found online, and I don't know any repository of hi-res icons to pick and choose from. Also, my theme came out well before Bruised Steel, just not for the Dx, as I had a Droid 1 previously, but I'm glad you like mine better. I dunno anything about being super professional, as I have no schooling or training in image manipulation, so I had to go with being as thorough as possible. I'm just someone with too much free time on their hands. LoL Anyway, have a good one.

Nice effort
Yea very creative,but I here wat he saying.themes just doesn't look shape around the edges.maybe some one on here can give you sum advice.

Beyond the Messaging icon and the little + symbol in the dialer picture, I'm not sure what you mean about the images not being sharp? I don't see anything else that isn't at least standard quality icons. Please elaborate.

Maybe they are judging the low res sscreen shots without actually installing the theme....i installed it just to try it and it liked beautiful...but the version I used was one I ported with Wugs...so the 3g icon didnt port directly over to GB that I'm using..... But loved it and planning on doing a re port once Wug updates his porter

willjohnson - DroidDoes was speaking of ljbaumer's theme, not yours... DroidDoes is an up and coming themer as well and knows how much of a PITA it can be at times, as I have helped him with a few things myself. Anyway, thanks for the kind words about my theme. You keep up the good work too.

At first glance it would appear he was talking about will. But after looking at each persons themes. I think he is referring to the pink theme by 'lj'. Big whoop if its hue changes, (his other 2 look pretty clean) and if he know that is so much of a PITA, why did he start bashing him for just stating his opinion.
Lj was throwing out his thoughts. Pointless ones yes, but still just his opinion. Looking at 'DD's' thread's and seeing what he has made for themes .... o wait he hasnt posted anything.... So he shouldnt be talking crap on other people's stuff until he prove's himself. Up and coming means nothing. Put your stuff out there and let the fans decide whos is better
Everyone starts somewhere. If its not to your taste just move along.
To the OP- nice work.

I have threads, just haven't posted them here, thank you very much! I have never, and will never "bash" another's theme. But, if you're gonna talk **** about someone else's themed images not being "sharp" enough when all you do is change the hue on yours, you SHOULD be called out, IMO! I am "up and coming" and have only been theming for a couple of months now but, I'm just on the other forums most of the time. XDA isn't the ONLY forum, yeah?
Cha0s, this is one of the things I miss most about my DX! Excellent work..as usual!

[Q] Will there be new Official Themes?

I just got my Galaxy S6, and Im somewhat disappointed with the themes available. They're all way too colorful for my taste, not to mention the majority of them are pink and pastels. The ultron one is, okay... but not what im looking when they're saying Im able to "personalize" it. In any case, Ive gone through this forum hoping theres some website lined where 3rd party developers created a vast cache of themes that work with OTA Wizhome launcher. But all Im finding is themes and icon packs for different launchers than the default one, like Nova Launcher.
Doe anyone know where I might find a larger selection of themes? or maybe know when google will create additional themes? (Im assuming the "theme store" is a google thing.

Its coming

There will be new in the officialy theme store - just give it some time. Samsung has some kind of review process for them.

I don't think their review process involves the aesthetics of the themes because only two at best are decent looking.

At least now I know that that trickle I , even if it's at a snails pace.
NJGSII - I definitely agree with you. 2 at the most are "decent". Prerequisite: childish, girlish, cutsie, or pastel. Lol

Tastes are different, especially when you consider that they sell the phone worldwide covering many different cultures. But what they should care about during the review process is that the UI elements are still visible and such things.

Waiting also lol thought their would be many but this phone is so new. Patients 4 real

The Cons outweigh the pros for the Galaxy S6 by far so I switched to Galaxy Note4. Visited this Thread to see if there was any news... Then I realized that The Note 4 doesnt have themes option despite it being Lollipop lol. Just thought Id share my irony.

Samsung Theme Development

I'm probably not the only person here who would like a custom made Samsung theme. I really want to make my own and share it with people, themes based around video games. Halo and Undertale, to name a few. But Samsung, as dumb they are, refuses to let you develop themes unless you upload a portfolio of prior theme work. Now, I've never done that, but really now. How come we have to prove we want to make good themes when that's what we are trying to do? Does anyone know if there is a way around this roadblock?

Lets try to gather team of themers and other enthusiasts and try to do something.
I worked on a Sony devices, few years ago and I should check my older themes to remember few things.
If I may suggest or ask - could you, or anyone else, post all infos we have and all problems we should work on and I'll be glad to help on a project.
Don't know what's the problem but I can guess - you, probably, have signing problems, right?
On Sony devices we hade similar problems so we did simplest think we could find - we took official theme from store, decompiled it and do reverse engeniring,
It's easy to add your own assets then and edit few xml files.
As I said, I'm not sure which problems are here on Sammy devices and I really don't have time to Google all that out.
I'll built Java environment today on my main PC, install compilers and notepad++ so I could help if someone wants to try.

I'm a noob.
I'm actually a complete and utter noob at this. I'm a 14 year old who had come up with the idea of making some themes just yesterday. So I don't know the first thing about developing themes for anything. But if you could explain stuff or point me to someone who can teach me about everything, that would be great.
By the way, do you know if there are any other ways to root a Note 5 without using Odin? I've got the international unlocked version (SM-N920C), single SIM, and I don't want to have to flash the stock ROM back on when I need to get it serviced (prove I have warranty).

I'm quite sure you can't root 5+ Android using Kingo Root or similar not-so-friendly app.

Hi All.
So here is the long and short side of it.
"SAMSUNG IS DUMB" They have made a theme development service in witch user can go and make their own theme, they then use this as advertisement to the public. Then once users have their devices they want to theme them and what do you know. Samsung then wants you to sign up for development once done they then refuse your application to the theme store for no reason what so ever.
I have seen a few very good themes around here for the note 5, much better then the useless girly/gay themes on the theme store and those users have been denied over and over.
So no, samsung does not give a rats ass if you are a good themer or not this is basically company personnel only that can them.
What we need is a user who by the magic of all things magical have been excepted by samsung to share his user credentials or profile so we can log into the theme service and use it our selves.
How does that sound?

Or someone to crack the software if they can get their hands on it (sadeempc!). There is samsung theme software available but its older versions. Possibly make some on it and use it as past work.

I have that software on my PC, but it's for developing for the possibly discontinued BADA OS. Now, I am not too keen on having someone crack software, bu the idea of a public theme dev account sounds great. Maybe some people should start making accounts and putting them out for us to use.

I am not one thats for cracking others work and time either, but when its impossible to get whether its priced with the same idea gas is priced or literally impossible due to whatever youd call it that samsung is pulling. What really is that, it really just hit me like, why are they being snobby little Bs with this theme software. Does it automatically go straight on the theme store when it is made? Let people make their own themes instead of being limited to the mostly awkward chinese or whatever they are themes. Everything is material or walk on Mars or LIVE with weird sayings and dudes with strange sporatic hair on their legs. We have this software to make themes that can only make us money and you none unless we approve it for store use. But you have to apply to get it, oh and submit some past theme creations (hehe). Just like those one kids everybody knows at sometime that nobody likes. Ud think theyd hand that for free and some wizard of themes would come from the midst and samsung could only bank. But nope. Like paying to feed the animals at the zoo or camels at a pumpkin patch. Dont people normally get paid to feed the animals. All @$$ backwards these days.

After brainstorming for a few minutes I have a solid conclusion. Given samsungs history of effort(lack) in previous apps, programs, etc. (Samsung nation, plus, forget the others*pointmade*, it has GOT to be because they do not have the people, the interest or simply care enough to go through that many theme submissions. Im sure tons would be pestering for a approval replys etc. I think they are already slacking with the 5 theme makers they have now as im pretty sure i seen a weed leaf on a theme the other day, its the swag one plus all of the same repetitive weird ones. Weed aint bad in some states at least (weird) but just sayin, i dont see any bud light ones or nething sweet like that. Its apparent that theme making is not coming from the US. Im almost positive on the application it doesnt even have the US listed on country list for areas of interest to sell or something like that. Which makes sense when u look at the options available

This sums up both what you and I are thinking in one gigantic paragraph. I did not even know Samsung was incompetent.
On a side note (get it?), can themes be shipped with live wallpapers as default, or will users have to install them separately from the Play store?
It would be nice to see some wallpapers coupled with some badass "living" themes.
