Can LauncherPro get any more awesome?

[Bearly]

Yes, it can get more awesome: stop FC'ing on me when I try to add something to the dock. Or it just takes 20 seconds to bring up the list of applications & shortcuts. I don't get it.

Also, it simply slows down when scrolling between different screens.

avoid the fc's, just use folder org to change the dock icons including that fugly default app drawer, that really bothered me

How do you get the shadow box around the bottom 4 icons? My screen does not show it and I do not see any setting for it. Install LP yesterday and love it!

HTC Widget? Just use Fancy Widget OW OW!

The force close for me was always going from landscape to portrait on my home screen. The widget not available problem usually resolved itself after some time. I stopped using launcher because of lag. Sense is much faster for me. I am keeping it installed for now in hopes it gets better.

I am probably getting 5 force closes a day. I still love this app. I am only out of commision for a couple secs. Usually seems to happen on orientation change on home screen.

One really annoying thing is that one day, for apparently no reason (meaning no change in apps), sometimes there is a 5 second lag exiting out of a program using the home key.

Anyone else have this?

Why do people like Launcher Pro better than ADW Launcher? Are both very similar or am I missing something?

And, are the people who are deciding to not use Launcher Pro switching to ADW or going back to stock Sense?

I was getting lots of FC's with LP. Switched to the new ADW and it's more stable and faster. I'm sure my LP FC's were just because of the apps/widgets I run, but ADW with an identical setup runs nice. I like LP's dock better (skinnable app drawer now!) but stability is king!

tons of forcecloses in the past few days.

Anyone having FC issues with LauncherPro, it's because he added the ability to manually control the memory usage. There's a post explaining it. Just adjust your memory settings, and everything will run smoothly.

[ttamnedlog]

That's crazy so many of you are having FC problems, since I've had none. Good to hear the new version is fixing that for some!

 

[waynester]

now 0.6.5.1
LauncherPro

* by the time it gets to 1.0 LP should be making you breakfast

New update = dock notifications!

This is one of the many reasons why I'll never go back to Sense home!

I don't have time to read this entire thread, but I just downloaded LP after skimming the first 2 pages and seeing all the praise.

It seems like it has potential to be siiick. I can live w/o some of the HTC widgets, but how do I get the weather/clock widget I saw someone had a few pages back with LP? That one I really don't want to give up.

Thanks!

 

[Cubanjinx]

Good find on the update! Can't wait for a new update that supports 3rd party notifications

I believe the HTC looking weather/clock widget is called Fancy Widget, however last time I checked, it was pulled from the market. I'm sure you can find an apk for it if you google search

What do you mean by 3rd party notifications? I use handcent for texting and it integrates perfectly into the dock bar, all you have to do is make sure you use the LauncherPro icons. The dev said he is working on a Gmail and possible built-in email app notification integration.

 

[Cubanjinx]

I use chomp and it works too but only cuz it integrates itself with the naitive messages folder. Wat im talking about is 3rd party messaging. For instance; currently im using ebuddy for my IM client but sadly no notifications :-(
Not a deal breaker for me but it would be nice to have

 

[Hand76]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH What pisses me off with the new update (even as cool as it is) is that the notification for missed calls or sms only shows up next to the launcherpro grey icons...I hope he can adjust that so the same popup will appear next to custom icons in the dock tray just as long as it is associated with phone/message.

Maybe it can't distinguish?

 

[jbdan]

...and it just keeps getting better and better thanks Fede!!!

I saw this maybe this can help? Please note that for these notifications to work, you must either use the corresponding LauncherPro-style icon, or have the shortcut set for the stock phone/messaging app. It should work with other apps as long as you use the LauncherPro icon, and it should work with custom icons as long as you use the stock apps. Support for 3rd party apps with custom icons *might* come in the future but it

Anyone have an issue with changing wallpaper? Everything else works fine for me with launcherpro. but sometimes when I change wallpaper I get that pop up saying its changed. but it just reverts to the default HTC wallpaper...
