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.

I purchased this on your recommendation! Now can you tell me how to change the launcher settings so I can get more rows and columns?

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.

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

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?

Hi guys and gals
I'm thinking of making the change to dj steves streakdroid , but to try out the whole new desktop look I have been using adw launcher . Only problem is looking for cool big widgets to go on my now bare screens .
I'm after an email client like the one in honeycomb with the split screen view , to take advantage of our massive screens and a coole email widget to link to it.
A nice big weather widget , that does cool things like the htc sence one.
Scrollable fb widget would be good too, that I could possibly link to the fb for android app
Just really looking for apps that take advantage of horizontal screen orientation.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for these, id really appreciate it.
Thanks

The beautiful weather widget. And I guess the widgets that come with Launcher Pro Plus. Also Pandora and the MIUI music widget.
I don't really think 7 screens are needed so I only use 3. I found the folder organizer app allows me to create short cuts in the launcher for categories of apps. Like I have a short cut in the launcher that goes to the games label. One for utilities etc*
android agenda widget

I think this is the thread you want.
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

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
For all you all, Nova Launcher does in fact work great with the Prime tablet. Just set the home screen grid to 10 columns by 7 rows for proper sized layouts, and i would stick to the cube or none transition.
but it does work great! just so everyone knows. (not a fan of adw, personally)
i've been using it as well, and i agree it works great, super fast and much cleaner looking than adw imo.
i've been using a 10x8 layout personally.
I use Nova too. I actually hadn't gotten around to changing the layout because I like my screen bare. But I'll have to try that. So far I like it the best, pretty quick.
Dock not showing up
Am I doing something wrong? I can't figure out why the dock isn't showing up. Anyone run into this problem?
why do you say it works great?
the icon labels doesnt show in landscape mode, the card stack transition is messed up. hardly can say working great...
however i do agree it has great potential and worth keeping an eye out for.
it has some issues, but it runs very fast and doesn't have any issues that are showstopping.
I really like it! thanks for this post!

Same here!!! Is hidden because of the tablet config???
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is due to the device type... Tablets = No dock by default. This may change with future releases of the Nova launcher.

The icon labels only show up when there is enough room for them, I've got my desktop grid set to 7 Rows and 8 Columns and they show up fine. If you add anymore rows, the labels dissappear.
The only problem I have with Nova is that the wallpaper is zoomed regardless of how I crop it. Anyone else have this issue?

it has to do more with how HC/ICS handle wallpapers over the launcher, i use the multipicture lwp and it sets them properly.
ok guys... seriously.
NovaLauncher is a modified stock launcher. notice you don't have a dock on your stock launcher on your ICS tablet. well.. that's why you don't have one in NL either. tablet's don't have launchers unless you get a 3rd party launcher that forces one on a tablet, like adw. even launcher pro does it but not well.
secondly i can say that it works great because it does. don't use the card transition. the icons labels DO appear in landscape, just depends on how many ROW you are using in your grid.
why don't you do some investigating and trying things out before flaming the app. it does have great potential, but it also works great NOW!. it's better than the stock launcher, and personally i dislike ADW. so cada loco con su tema.

You won't find it on the marketplace. Grab it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071. Just download and install the NovaLauncher_beta.apk that's all you need. It quite good. Oh one quick hint... Once you installed use Titanium Backup to convert the app into a system app, that way the widget will preview properly as your ICS stock launcher.
By the way... is in fact the best launcher for ICS so far...
Nope Apex Lauchher is better ^

the solution i've discovered for wallpapers is that it must be at least the 1920x1408 for a tablet. doesn't matter which app you use

Just letting y'all know NOVA launcher is out of it's beta stage and is on the market now in the free version and prime. I highly suggest purchasing the prime version, even though it is $4.00, it comes with a lot of cool settings.
>>>updated to 1.0.2
added on prime:
gestures
swipes
hide apps
additional scroll effects
[Nova Launcher | Nova Launcher Prime]
Screenshots would be nice
click on the links... they're links to the market.
The launcher is great but it doesn't have an option to change the grid size in your app drawer, only in the desktop. I wanted to have 5 colums in my app drawer but there's no option to change it.
well remember it is at the 1.0 stage and I'm sure they're going to add more features soon...
This launcher is pretty great! been using it with Turls ics kang. I will purchase to support your efforts.....Thank you!
Question for ya though. Is thier any way to be able to turn the Nav bar on and off? It doesn't show up on the atrix, but it would be wonderful if you could turn it on when using the lapdock. I know I'm probably asking for a miracle here, but thought I would ask....Thanks!!
lol sorry I'm not a dev. on this launcher... simply passing the word on...

yeah, that's written in the app description on the market.
Permissions:
Root/Superuser: Widgets-in-drawer with previews is require Root due to Android framework limitations. Widgets will be displays in a list like Android 2.x if root is unavailable or denied.
INTERNET/ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE/ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Optional & Anonymous error/usage reporting.
CALL_PHONE: Only used if you place a direct-dial shortcut on the homescreen.
Wallpaper/Vibrate/Status Bar : Standard Launcher functions
BIND_APPWIDGET: Only if installed as a system app or root. Required for adding widgets from app drawer.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Backup/restore and beta updates
quick question:
is there a way for nova launcher to restrict or lock homescreen items to avoid being moved or deleted?ofar i havent seen any provision for that feature yet.
im on resurrection 9.4 btw and loving the nova launcher so far.
yea I would love to see that as a option too... there is a website (http://feedback.novalauncher.com/forums/145180-nova-feature-requests) you can request features, and I believe this is one of them...
can you add an option to hide widgets in the drawer?
I bought it and is super!!!Using it on TURL ICS9 powered Atrix.It was my first app bought from Market
