Launcher Pro or Stock Home-What will you use?

[Steven58]

Hello, this is my first post!

I have been looking at apps in anticipation of getting my Droid X and I like these launcher apps, but does anyone know if any of them will allow for re-sizing the widgets? This is a major selling point for me, I love that feature.

Visual notifications are awesome, it's one of the things I do like about the Iphone.

I'm glad you found us! Resizing widgets is probably not going to happen with the Launcher Pro shell.

You can't resize widgets with LP.

I'm going to try an give the stock version a try, but I have a feeling I'll end up back with launcher pro after not to long. I just like the look/feel of it a lot more.

My thing is why not? It would be a major selling point for a lot of android users. If we could use the resizing it would be better than the stock hands down but the stock beats it because it cause it allows resizing even if it is ugly to look at.

The stock widgets work with launcher pro, you just can't resize them. Here a couple of quick pics of LauncherPro with a few stock widgets running.

Where can I get the little androids that you have on the phone? For like the browser and the phone and stuff. They are adorable!

I will probably install launcher pro and home switcher so I can use both like HTC does with Scenes. That way I can set the phone up two different ways so I don't get bored!

Stock.

I went back and forth for a while, I'm now sticking with LauncherPro.

What's the default size for the contact widgets since we can't resize them?

Coming from using an iPhone for the past few years and never really playing with any a droid devices, I say I'll just run it stock. Plus I don't really have a clue what adw or launcher pro does. Lol

 

[Rimzy]

Launcher pro, that thing looks good..

 

[irishpride]

Gonna play around with stock to get a feel for the phone, unless I see no reason to switch, I'll most likely go with ADW.

 

[Flying_Hellfish]

Stock first... then adw.... then maybe LP. Who knows where it will go from there, but isn't that half the fun?

I am definitely going to use stock at first, I want to mess around with resizing widgets. This way, when I get bored with stock I will try a new launcher and have a all new phone again.

Wife? I thought we agreed the term "insider", lol. Are you going to the store in the morning to get yours or is the wife, I mean insider able to get one for you?

 

[jreed2560]

I have to order online thru the employee phone program, so unfortunately I will be without on launch day, but believe me I will have one in my hands on that day. If I have to tackle a store rep to get it!

So how long until you will actually get one, does it take a while?

I'm trying not to think about that, because sometimes, especially with phones that are in high demand, they won't let employees order them until the hype dies down in order to keep up with customer demand. I hope this isn't the case, but it likely will mean I'll have to wait untill the end of July or .....dare I say it August

Man that sucks, I hope that it doesn't take too long for your sake.
