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!

I use Battery Circle and it works great with Launcher Pro

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.
Hi guys was wondering if there is this app out there that can do the following...
You know when you swipe left or right you go to different windows from the home screen. Is there an app or something that wil allow you to swipe up or down from the homescreen to go to the window to the left x2 or to the right x2. I'm basically trying to find a way to get to my other windows in just 1 swipe as opposed to 2. It might not be much but I would much prefer it that faster if possible.
Anyone know of anything that can do this for me?
I use the "pinch and pick" method. (At least that's what I call it.)
Or hit the Home button twice (or just once if you're already on the Home screen).
That's an interesting idea but I would assume it would have to be built into the launcher you're using. Like home screen replacement Apps have swipe up for this and down for that but I haven't seen them have an option for swipe up for page x.

Try an app called Wave Launcher. It's not exactly what you described as what you're looking for but may be another solution, it's a fantastic app! Here's a link for you:

Go launcher, set it to show previews on swipe up (you can even make it so it only does that when you swipe up on a specific dock icon, too!)

Swipepad is the shizzle, too! Good find! Swipepad + wave launcher + go launcher = totally covert homescreen! No statusbar, no dockbar, just secret areas to swipe from!

Will that all eat up my battery a lot if I'm running stock everything non-rooted?
I'm really enjoying being non-rooted because surprisingly everything just WORKs. Battery life is great as I can get an entire 12-13 hour day out of it before it goes red.
Also...why Go Launcher? When I use to have it on my old Evo 4g whenever I would press the "home button" it would close Go Launcher and go back to the stock launcher...also...I have to use their own Friend widget (people widget) if you use it right? Or has that changed? When I used Go Launcher before the People widget I use to use from Sense disappears.
I'm completely stock.... Just download Wave Launcher and try it, if you like it then excellent, if you don't then uninstall... It's a free app so you lose nothing trying it. Good luck!

Stock unrooted, too. GO Launcher (like any alternate home app) doesn't allow the use of Sense Widgets but they have an alternative to most of them and the widgets are themeable. Battery usage is no more than usual and if you REALLY wanna squeeze all the juice you can from a charge, check out Juice Defender. And why GO Launcher? It takes the best parts of all the paid launchers (ADW, Launcher Pro, etc), improves on them, adds in even more functionality, offers tons of themes or the ability to create your own, and it's free! I use GO SMS, GO Contacts and GO Dialer, too. The GO Weather is borked though lol dunno why

So i came across this on androidcommunity site! It was created by some xda developers around here! I installed on my atrix and it is working good has some bugs, but it is okay! The full story is on that page!

Nice find.
Less forced closures than some of the honeycomb launchers I have tried to use.

Im using it right now and not sure how I'm feeling about it. I'm not talking about bugs or anything, but things like the inability to change shortcuts on the dock and move the apps button to the right irk me.
I do like the button all to the right does. Cool looking and very useful.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Nice. But I will for the official launch when all the bugs are worked out.........I hope.
The button on the right is tits. I just hope you'll be able to customize the menu that pops up whenever you press it.
This launcher, if it's what the 2.4 launcher really is supposed to resemble in any way shape or form, is going to be fokking amazing. I just hope it has the native ability to re-size widgets. I am getting bored of all the other launchers out on the market right now. Been through them all and am bored with them.
you can make suggestions on the thread here at XDA, the developer is really passionate about this app and really wants it to be amazing! feel free to drop a review and your suggestions over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268003
It is faster than hcl and less fcs, I think it I due to the decrease in rows/columns. I think the "running apps only works on cm7 due to the stock apps installed...but correct me if I'm wrong.

I have used it all day on cm7 with no fc's at all. I got it from the bionic thread.
Edit: settings button in the scroll tabs does not work reverts to home screen.

Just went to CM7 need to know if I can move the blur voice dialer to CM7 or a recommended solution that doesn't need internet and also has verbal confirmation. On second note is their a way to double tap home to operate voice commands.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
In settings hit CM settings/ input/ long press home settings then pick customer. Click application and set voice dialer. Hold home down to long and it will open voice dialer.

I havent heard of anyone moving anything Blur to CM7 successfully. I know someone tried moving the blur keyboard and it didnt work. So be careful with adding blur stuff to this ROM and only do it if you are prepared to SBF.

Any blur/moto based apps or framework would have to be completely re-written as CM7DX2 does not have a trace of blur or blur framework. I am working with someone to see if we can get nuance ported. I will create a thread once I have something to present.
Ciao!
Not to gripe or complain, but if they worked SO hard to remove BLUR, why would you want to put it back in?
I can live without BLUR. After running this ROM and the stock and other ROMs, the difference is night and day in the performance. That is, the blurless ROM out-performs any of the other ROMs that have even traces of BLUR in them.
I'm officially blurless and will stay that way. No falling off the wagon for this blurless user.
Not sure if nuance it's necessarily blur add I think they can make it work without blur. If not, I'm with you I don't really want blur but do need a good voice dialer.

Correct, nuance is not blur, but we have to modify it to work with cm7... That's turning out to be a pain in the a$$! Anyhow, I am trying out vlingo, but, it's a PITA... I dunno, I guess I got spoiled with nuance...
I'm with you on vlingo can't stand it doesn't recognize well and doesn't come through on Bluetooth. have to say hey vlingo all the time so you sound like an idiot. I uninstalled vlingo and just using voice dialer for now but have to always look at screen.
Hope you get it working.

I rooted and deblurred my Photon, and now I'm happily running ADW Launcher with an ICS theme. Now, is there a way to change the lockscreen as well? I'd love to be able to access the camera directly from the lockscreen.
Use go locker.

Theres also widget locker, and MANY others. search around or look on play store youll find many choices

I downloaded Go Locker and it made me download Go Launcher EX as well. Oh well, I was gonna try it anyway. It looks good so far.
You could always test each and see which is the most functional for you...you can also try locked roms such as rocko and imperial found in the development section
The most reliable one I've found is MiLocker, it has alot of options too.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I've come to the determination that WidgetLocker is the cheapest, most configurable lock screen.
GO Locker and Magic Locker are both free to install, but each theme can only be configured a little bit. Free ones are rare and limited, and you're asked to pay at every turn. It's really annoying. I scored WL for 99ยข on sale, but even for the full price of $2.99, it's worth it to pay once and never be bothered again.
Also, you can configure your launch screen pretty much any way you like. There are some cool unlock gimmicks I've seen other launchers use, and I wish WL would add some of them, but the fact that you can make your own lock screen is pretty cool. I wish I could configure one up and save it, and repeat, and have a gallery of lock screens I've made, like the others have, but I'm fine just evolving the one as I see fit.
WL doesn't work on its own, and I don't suppose any of them do. You have to download an app called "No Lock" to get rid of the stock lock screen.
And none of these are valid options if you want security. For that, you have to disable your custom lock screen and use the system one.
Actually MiLocker is totally free, doesn't ask for donations and after reboot the stock lock screen shows up once then it's just MiLocker. The only down side is many of the themes use Asia characters in them.

Is it compatible with the stock ROM, or MIUI only? I had a good time customizing the lockscreen and such when I ran MIUI on my EVO.
Yup, most current stock Blur Rom.
