Thats my point. Your building something that comes pre installed on your device. Your using fake sense widgets. lmao
yeah you're totally not getting it.
the thing is that a lot of people (not all) like a clean look and like to customize things them selves. it makes the phone more their own. with launcher pro a lot of people really like the dock, how you can add up to 15 icons if you want (i use all 15 and almost only widgets on my screens). but here's the thing, people still want their phone to have the HTC look. and this is where beautiful widgets comes in. you may want to retry beautiful widgets as it is better after the latest updates. the weather is more accurate with accuweather. and you can link the widget just like the htc clock or set it to link somewhere else. an example would be to have the weather link to live radar instead of the stock weather program. you can also remove the text under icons in LP and that seems to be pretty popular with people.
as far as working faster or slower, it seems the same to me. the one thing i noticed is that launcher pro uses less system ram then the sense launcher. so your system has more breathing room before it clogs up, mine never clogs up after froyo tho.
also you do not need to remove sense launcher from your phone. after setting launcher pro to your default launcher reboot your phone. the htc sense launcher will not run after it is no longer the default and this will save you a bunch of ram. not doing this may make it seem like your phone runs slower.
you can also download spare parts from the market. open it and then change window animations and transition animations from normal to fast. or not if you feel things are fine.
anyways launcher pro is all about customizing and not everyone wants to customize. so if you don't i would say launcher pro is not for and stick with sense.
just to clear things up, when we are referring to sense we are only talking about the home launcher. using launcher pro you will still be using sense. dialer, text, email will still all be sense. you just loose the home dock and sense widgets.
a couple that don't look like sense
and a couple that do kinda look like sense
you can even hide the dock completely if you want
note: in launcher pro you can set the phone to hide the top bar. i have it set to hide and then show it when i press the home key while already on a home screen. also the only thing you see above that requires root is the one with the white top bar.
many things you can do with launcher pro. if you keep sense great, if you decide you want to play with launcher pro and customize i suggest you check out the post your screen thread in the main forum.
