Has anyone found a scrolling fb widget that does not crash when you look at it? Or am I the only one having these problems?
I tried Facez, Colorize Widget, Seesmic and probably others that I forgot. Every single one caused problems
What do you use?
Launcher Pro plus works for me

Hm....but I don't want to switch to a different launcher just to have one widget. I currently use Sweeter Home after spending a lot of time with ADW and Zeam.
LP+ is out of the question

That's right. Easily one of the best out there. But now that I'm starting to get the hang of Sweeter Home, there's no way back

It seems like LP bogs down SO much after a while.. to the point where everything hangs. I revert to the TouchWiz Launcher and it's like night and day, with the same widgets + feeds and updates.
What gives? Anyone else notice the same?
Yeah I notice it for sure. I haven't noticed it since the lag fix, but it has only been a couple days.
Launcher pro is way quicker than touch wiz for me. Before and after I applied the lag fix. I also try and reset my phone every other day our so.

I did one of the lagfixes but I undid it and decided to do a factory format. I don't notice much difference, except for when LP lags up the whole phone. I've gone back to the TWL and things are snappy again.

I've never seen the need to reset every other day. But I do notice LP seems really fast with transitions.. but there are some bugs here and there like the preview cards getting jumbled together and such.
Uh. use ADW Launcher? no problems with it with lagfix, I don't know why so many users of the Vibrant community dislike ADW Launcher and is mainly biased towards Launcher Pro.
the only thing i liked about ADW was the option to make more icons fit on the screen. other than that i think TWlauncher is smoother and less buggy. plus the multicons app does what i liked from ADW anyway
Lp is the best! I hate that adw replaces the menu> settings with its own preferences....stupid. Plus lp is faster than anything else

I have nothing against ADW, but I'm using LP right now so that's why I posed the question.
I use launcher pro for one reason. I love the calendar widget. I do notice that it gets a little laggy every once and a while and most of the time a reboot takes care of it.

Seems like you have a pretty big grudge against ADW Launcher. Using another launcher would "solve" your problem. What does LP have to offer that is making you stick with LP? Both are great launchers and the winner depends on the users' personality.
@disturk: It replaces the notifications button on the menu. Is notifications on your menu really necessary? Plus. I believe LP also replaces one button with Settings.
@bromat80: There are other alternatives to the widget, and if a launcher is lagging me then to my opinion it wouldn't be worth having if it lags. At least not until the developer fixes the problem. Try CalWidget as a alternative if you were to experiment with another launcher.

I was referring to being on the home screen..stock is menu, bottom right is settings for phone...lp keeps this whereas adw puts adw settings on the bottom right and moves phone settings to the bottom middle...(unless they've changed it..haven't used adw in a month)

I guess what I was getting to is that I like both ADW and Launcher Pro equally and what makes me choose LP is the calendar widget. The lag doesn't bother me. I was just pointing out that I do notice that it does get laggy and normally a reboot takes care of it.
I personally find Launcher Pro more elegant.
No lag that I notice.

Whoa whoa, whats with the attitude bro? if the OP likes a certain product and want to support it, he can do whatever he wants. It sounds like you are the one with the grudge against LP. I personally like LP because it does 3D App Drawer and 5 icons columns on desktop. AND it's fast as **** on my phone.

Yea, launcher pro all the way, my phone used to lag with touch wiz all the time.
LP here. Absolutely no issues at all. Incredible.
Hands down TouchWiz is most definitely the fastest launcher of them all. I see no reason to use third party launcher other than to customize a few things. Does TouchWiz look like the iPhone? Yes! Does the Vibrant overall look like a better version of the iPhone clone? Yes!! lol. Do I love my Vibrant with all of my hear? *$#@ YES!!! but that is besides the point I am trying to get at
Launcher Pro sucks in my opinion, and is much much slower than TW. You can tell by that it takes a few seconds longer to initially load the icons when going into Applications. Transitions just aren't as fast either.
ADW is probably a tad bit faster, but you still can not compare it to TW. I do wish that I had an option to go back and forth between stock and TW. Hopefully that will be made available in 2.2.
I would say stick with TW, make life easy
You can change the speed at which the applications load in the drawer on lp. I don't think anything is farr than instantaneous
I prefer lp because I don't like the side to side scroll in the app tray. I have my speed set higher than the default values for lp and experience no lag.

It has its own calendar and contacts widgets that might interest people.
What else? I think it is a good useful product and I will support a dev that comes up with a good useful product.
Fair enough. Anybody else have anything? Im going to buy it, I.just wanted some input first.

Widget Resizing? Give me a break. GO Launcher and Zeam both give you widget resizing for FREE! Plus, GO LAUNCHer and and ZEAM have swipe gestures, such as simply swiping up on your screen to open an app, which LP does NOT have. The only good thing of LP is it's 3d launcher, which still isn't that clean.
Being able to customize the size of widgets has made me use them even though they kill battery my screen is setup just the way I want it which makes pro awesome
Nerov3 voodoo
I've tried zeam and go launcher, and awe. None of.them run as smooth as LP on my phone. So other then supporting the dev, resizable widgets and a calendar that's it?

I am swyping on my screen all the time, does it mean I will be overwhelmed with launching apps? LP has swype gestures you can tie to icons on the home screen, like see the missed calls if you swype on the phone icon, unread msg if you do so on a messaging icon, etc.

LP allows you to have up to 15 apps on the bottom dock... those 15 apps can have a dual swipe feature, so technically you can have up to 30 apps/activities/etc without even opening your appdrawer or moving from your home screen.
Also, how is the 3d drawer not "clean"... that makes no sense. It's okay to like other launchers, but you are just bashing this one when you sound ignorant to it.
LP+ is primarily to support the developer... people often mention the resizing widgets... I think the MAIN reason to get it though are the amazing widgets included. He has done a very good job with those and they look sexy.

Totally agree!
The swype gestures are plus version feature as well.
Widgets...
Ahh, didnt realize the swipe was a + feature, just always had it
That was one of my fav discoveries!
Custom docks, icons, resizeable widgets, all this for free. For $2.99 you get the extras, give the man his dues...you won't regret it.
Vibrant
OK I forked over the 2.99. I will post back tomorrow after Ive had time to play around with it. Thanks for the input guys!!
Wish you could buy it via the market.

Its looking like this is going to be the case for me to. The widgets don't really interest me much. But its ok LP runs so much more smooth on my phone then anything else. Glad to support the dev. Has anybody tried the icon pack for LP. Its a 1.99 in the market?

What's the benefit of purchasing the Plus version? Is it worth it for the Gtab?
The calander widget is the best I have ever used. Can make it full screen and looks awesome. The Facebook widget is epic. Also the fact that it lets you resize any widget is as practicle as it is awesome. Pay for it.... your only doing you, and good app developer justice. They have a great free app and the paid version is totally worth it.

^ 100% agree. The Facebook widget alone is worth it - it's basically the one from HTC Sense but ya know, without the crappy Sense.
You guys convinced me. Just bought it.
Its good to know that it adds some useful widgets. With all the other apps I have bought from the market I only have to buy it once and I can use it on both my phone and my tablet. Will launcher pro plus do that too or is it one per device?
I love ADW (free version) on my OG Droid and I've been trying out Launcerpro on my gtab. I'm finding that all I care about on my gtab is the icons/widgets on the screen and the app drawer. I have no interest in the dock.
I'm thinking about trying Zeam launcher for the simplicity. Anyone have experience with Zeam on their tablet?
Yes, the best part of launcher pro plus is the widgets. The calendar and agenda widgets are nice.

Zeam is excellent, a very fast launcher. You can change the number of columns and rows up to 8 and autofit widgets into the grid so it looks nicer. The only desired feature for me is the ability to hide apps from the app drawer. Too bad Zeam is no longer is development.

Unfortunately, if it's anything like Sense, then the stock Motorola widgets are only accessible when using the stock Motorola launcher. Basically, they are integrated into the Launcher and it's not possible to run them on a third-party solution.

uh when I load up ADW and long press the homescreen I only have ADW widget. For example, I want to use the Favorites Contacts , the one that when you swipe down on it, it reveals a 20 block screen of your contacts. Can you check for that widget please to see if you can add it as im not from ADW.
is it possible to add sony ericsson default music player widget with adw launcher by using rom manager or by using the root method..i tried installing the music player widget but wont show up when i tried to add the widget in adw launcher..is there any solution at all ?

Favorite Contacts is only available with the stock launcher, I believe.
Almost all of the stock widgets do work with third party launchers. Interestingly, they look like they did in earlier versions of Blur, without the 'chrome' of the Gingerbread BlurHome (the dark blue with gaudy glow animation).
The exception is the favourite contacts widget, which 'works' in the sense that you can place the widget on a screen, but it's invisible.
Genuine question here - aside from the scrolling email widgets and the favourite contacts widget (which is bloated) the Blur widgets are the worst I have ever used on any variety of Android. Half of them don't even launch anything when tapped. Sense, Touchwiz, Timescape/Mediascape, every OEM skin with its own widget set has been more functional than this, even if it's not my cup of tea.
What gives with MotoBlur, and what do people see in it? I swear Moto know it's awful, why else would they automatically set the first third party launcher you install as default?

Hey all,
I have a challenge for someone if a dev has some time on their hands. I am trying to get the Launcher Pro widgets working on Go Launcher EX though i think i am way out of my league.
Its unfortunate cause the Launcher Pro widgets are only beaten by Sense imho. Though Go Launcher is a better app!
Anyone able to help out or even just give me some tips?
Thanks very much.
These Widgets are hardcoded into the launcher and won't work with any other launcher. It is the same with with all launchers. If you want a set of Widgets that work with all launchers try android pro Widgets. It is paid but well worth it.
appreciate the reply mate. thats unfortunate. I am using APW right now. though it fails in comparison to Launcher Pro Widgets..
Oh well my only hope is for Launcher Pro to add shortcut folders then i can switch back - though i havent seen an update for a long time.
thanks again.
