So...
I really like everything about Launcher Pro... except the app drawer.
I personally prefer the application setup from touchwiz more.
Is it possible to pull up the applications page from TW on launcher pro?
Thanks!
It wont be exactly the same but there is a setting in launcher pro that will make your app drawer horizontal. I think thats as close are your going to get.
where would that setting be...?
There is no setting for that on launcher pro. However, adw launcher allows you to have a horizontal applications drawer. You can download it from the market

Like stated, lp does not have this. It does have a 3d drawer. Adw has the iphone like app drawer.
i am. wondering whether anyone successfully use some alternative desktop apps (for example , dxtop) on 10.1.
mainly want to sortout apps,hide some apps, customerize user interface.
thanks .

ADW Ex is 3.1 ready. I still like the new honeycomb launcher for now though myself.

good to know that it works on 3.1. I would guess the home replacement app is not ready for 3.1 yet.
launch pro was mentioned somewhere in the forum ...another home app ...

using Launcher Pro and it works great, but not optimized for tablet yet.
I'm currently using ADW Launcher EX. I've gotten better performance from it than the stock launcher. Can't wait for the next release as it should have better integration with Honeycomb.
i never used launch pro , why i have an impression that the app allows you to customerize widget rather than being a home app ..

It lets you adjust the widget size if you purchase the full version, but it's mainly meant as a replacement home.
I use ADW EX after trying Launcher Pro which had a number of FC's. Adw flies on my GT but LP's widgets look great on the big screen. Just a bit of advice if you use a custom launcher is set the orientation to portrait or landscape and set it the way you want. The screens don't transition well if you use large widgets which I do.

I use LauncherPro primarily because of its great looking widgets and widget resizing. Honeycomb's resizing features only work with certain widgets specifically designed to support it. LauncherPro will resize any widget.
The only thing I don't like about LauncherPro is its app drawer, but for that, I have a shortcut to an activity that points to the native home screen. I haven't been able to locate the specific command to automatically launch its app drawer, but just getting to the home screen is a start. In theory, you could launch any replacement home screen's app drawer.
Hey guys. I'm looking for a launcher that allows you to use it completly full screen without a dck. Ive tried launcher pro and go launcher so far I haven't seen an option in any of them to remove dock so hoping one of you can help me.

What he said. I'm using a combination of ADW Launcher EX and CircleLauncher
Your main screen will look like this:
The icons you see on the top left and bottom right are CircleLauncher. When i tap them they open up the predefined app selection of my choosing. You have the choice of a circle, horizontal or vertical style.
Another neat thing on the ADW Launcher EX is that you can use the swipe up and down gesture to preform actions. For example swipe down opens my Notifications Bar and swipe up opens my Apps Drawer.
Hope you find what you need.
Here's mine ADW

I like Adw. It's simple clean and fast. Not sure if I will upgrade to the paid version since a lot of reviews are have force close issues. Are you getting any?

Personally i have never had a force close on my 3D. On my 4G I did have a couple force closes but it didn't bother me as much. Try out the free version for a couple days to get the feel of it. If you feel generous afterwards you can "donate" to the owner instead of "buying" it, that's how I looked at it. Good luck!

The same thing can be accomplished with Launcher Pro as well.
+1 for ADW. I hide the notification bar and get rid of the launcher. Here is a link to my setup. I've made some changes lately but you can get the general idea. Swipe down opens the notifications and swipe up opens the app drawer...

Any of you tried wave launcher? I love that... Another great option if you ditch the dock. And you can use it from anywhere from any app
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yeah, ADW does exactly what you're looking for, here's another image to add to the pile on this thread =p
What my home screen looks like (click for full size):
You can also set an optional 'hidden' dock that comes up on a specified gesture (for example, if I flick upwards I get my appdrawer, phone and ADW settings).
Tried wave launcher. Wasn't feeling it. Settled on circle launcher. Advanced settings go for deep customization.
With auncher pro i could never find out how to hide dock. Anyways to much work if they can't just add a simple setting to hide it. Shame cause I want it for the gmail widget plus glass sense glass theme.
Only bad think about Adw is the app drawer lags when opening and really bad scrolling. Not much of an issue once I have my screens setup. Never need to use it.

Has anyone tried Launcher Pro on the Photon 4G?
Side note i have use it on all my other phones. But I'm wondering if Moto plays nice with LP?
Thanks in advanced to anyone that answers or reads.

I've been using Launcher Pro since the day I got the photon and haven't had any problems.
Launcher pro was the first thing I installed on my photon. Works great.
I have tried several launchers (Launcher Pro, Regina, Honeycomb, GoLauncher) on the Photon, and all seemed to work well. I currently have Launcher Pro installed (that is the launcher I commonly use), and have no problems.
+1 same here!

only flaw i've noticed is that when changing docks, they don't appear normally as they did on phones like EVOs. this is most likely due to the resolution change from WVGA to a qHD display. aside from that though, works beautiful, just gotta have the docks resized to appear proportionate.
Update I went ahead and downloaded it on the Photon 4G and its really nice but in a odd way i miss the the stock look... It could the the way im setting up shop again just like my last 2 phones so i may need to change icons up a bit...

Launcher Pro works fine, but I found an odd bug (I think). If you have the 'Home' button set to open the app drawer, it works in both portrait and landscape. But when you open the kickstand (select home launcher, not clock widget at the popup) and the phone is forced into landscape, the 'Home' button will no longer open at app drawer.
use it everyday i love it
Best launcher ive used so far, had it on my evo,epic and now on my photon =] u wont have any problems with this launcher

Last week I bought shell 3d but it keeps crashing. I've since gone back to Launcher Pro and plan on staying with it.
I had an issue where my docks were not refreshing so in the empty space thete was still colors from the previous apps being dragged across..

Anybody with Launcher Pro try it with the HD Station dock? When I put my Photon into the dock and bring up webtop, the photon screen locks up and doesn't turn into a touch pad.
I can't seem to get an app that shows the battery life in 1% increments while using LauncherPro. anyone have one to suggest?
Also, can't find a 3g on/off toggle to work either. suggestion?
other than that, i'm usually a stock guy (from epic), but i am using launcherpro now and love it...the universal inbox was the kicker for me....i didn't like the email box on the stock....on launcherpro things seems to be much more customizable!

Minimalistic text is what I've been using for the one percent battery. The only thing I've noticed with launcher pro is that when I use my kick stand my home screen does nothing. No popup no force landscape nothing. (May have missed something but kick stand box is checked in settings). Other than that it works great and I like it.

No, the kickstands trick doesn't seem to work with any alternate launcher. I use LP and created an activity shortcut I put on my dock that opens the nightstand mode.
Hey all, whenever I would open an app from the drawer and then hit back to go to the drawer again, the scrolling would be horrible. I noticed that the lag went away when I deleted my HTC peep app. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if anyone else has had their app drawer become laggy as hell with peep installed.

What ROM are you on? I've use Peep and I've never had any form of lag since I've had the device. I'm on any new SteelROM. It may not be the app, but the ROM. Make a nandroid, install a different ROM, do the same thing you did to make the ROM your on lag, and see if you have the same problem.
I'm on stock 2.3.4. The funny thing is that I used to use Steelrom and that's when I first noticed the lag (peep was kept on that ROM). So when i went to stock everything was fine for a few hours till it lagged again. I noticed that as soon as I deleted peep my lag went away
