I am running the Comm Rom 2.0 and when I try to use my LP pro KEY it starts FC'ing. I can use the free version of LP just not the pro? All else runs FANTASTIC with this set up......
I have OTB1.4
Any Ideas?
Thanks!!
edit:
Nevermind...As always if you read a little you usually find the answers!! Thanks to all that contribute here! btw....In the answer I ounf that a lot of people here dont use Launcher Pro....What do you use then? I like the 7 screens and the transitions, but if there is something that works better I am all EARS!
I use ADW EX. The only thing it's missing from LP is the widgets, which you can't seem to get anyway lol. But it adds quite a bit, IMO

I use ADW but I had LP installed behind the scenes. After my first app restore I was experiencing the same issue. On my second build of 2.0 I chose not not restore LP and didn't encounter the issue.
I've been using LP+ for quite some time. Occasionally, after a new install it will FC when you first start the phone, but when it comes back, everything is fine. I'm experiencing it now, because I just installed ComRom 2.0, but after a few days it will settle in, and not FC at all.
In order to use the paid version you have to remove the .apk from system/app using Root Explorer. Reinstall Launcher Pro from market. Before removing make sure you have another launcher to use.
Adw Ex and Go Launcher are way better anyways.

I have only had y atrix a few days and am starting to get really fed up with how laggy the device is.
I have installed the updates as advised by the handset and even trien using a 3rd party launcer (launcher pro and adw ex) but still have the same problems.
The biggest thing that frustrates me is when i am trying to type a email and it constantly laggs between typing words.
mine is a uk handset on orange network.
any advice how i get over this...do i need to root it and remove certain blootware or upgrade to android 2.3?/
please advise me with links etc to how i get over this
Try freezing the motorola bloatware through titanium backup. Do a search in the development forum to find the thread.
Could make the difference. Will certainly boost battery life!

Is it laggy over all or just when typing? my Atrix is not laggy at all but certain keyboards cannot keep up. IMO Swiftkey BETA in the market is pretty fast, try another keyboard out.
Use cache mate should kill alott of the lagg

No lag here. But yea another keyboard might help.
I noticed that it's app dependent. In some apps its fast, and other apps its laggy/sluggish. The native SMS/MMS texting client slugs behind in screen refresh on the keyboard. Other apps go smooth. I am using BETTER KEYBOARD 8 (paid version), instead of the native keyboard.

lags when sliding between different screens, tried it with standard launcher and also launcher pro in the hope that would be quicker...same problem.
i also fin that it lags badly when typing.just dosent keep up and i am by no means the fastest typer.
phone is standard apart from the launcher, standard keyboard. has the latest over the air update on it.
Hard reset after an OTA update? Cures 99% of problems.. no lag here btw

My runs perfect with lp plus, you have to much running in the background probably! Better 8th & swift are great I have both, using swift now as I feel it's a little better for me.
I had to uninstall Launcher Pro Plus because it took like 3 seconds for a swipe on the screen (the first/second times) to move. It was unbearable.
The original launcher has a lower FPS but at least it works. It sucks in comparison to LPP but if it works, it beats just about anything.
With Blur, things are significantly laggy.
With Launcher Pro, the default animation times create a lot of useless lag, so, under LP preferences, I changed the animations times to instant (eg. zero) or near instant, and I have absolutely no lag anywhere anymore. This is on rooted stock 1.8.7.
its the stock apps. they arent optimized for our phones. if you ran the 2.3.4 you could tell. the keyboard or anything didnt lag on there. even though its buggy.
install better keyboard, that doesnt lag for me. i use swype and it doesnt lag. also install the TWlauncher in themes&apps. it doesnt really lag at all, smooth as butter.
thanks for the reply
i will give the suggested options a try
The new swype beta crashes my phone... it was great except for emails and passwords.
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
Laggy?
Several issues to take into account:
The launcher that you use. I use None, so that takes the burden off my cpu a lot
The ROM. Stock 2.3.4 is sloww. but can try Ninja or others
The app killer. Try use one that does the job of getting rid of stray processes at least on an hourly basis. Android Assistant is the one I use.
Try and use Start Up auditor, and make sure you dont have unwanted code getting into the mess.
If you have apps in your ext SD that is also a problem.. mine are all in internal SD.
As one previous post mentioned try and freeze unwanted bloatware.
Believe it or not, if your battery is not in a good shape, that will put a burden on the CPU.
Use SetCPU and create profiles. Dont let the phone run out of memory.. that is also a killer. If u use LP, try ant leave it in memory. See if that improves things.
Use Elixir and see who is bugging you.
cheers !
my 2c (AT&T model but in Australia)
- stock froyo = laggy. Launcher pro or ADW helps.
- stock gingerbread = mostly fixed, would be fine for most IMO. Launcher pro flies. Blur is still there however sucking valuable juice and cycles
The ultimate solution? unlock BL and custom ROM. There is nothing wrong with this phone's hardware, its motorola's build that lets it down.
I am very disappointed in Launcher Pro Plus as after about a week of use, it begins to force close almost every time I power on my phone. What a good launcher to try? Thanks in advance!
I am on the P3Droid rooted GB!

Alright Then Well There's ADW Which Is Cool And There Is GOLauncher EX. Those Are The Top Two. I'm Using LPP, Sorry You're Having Issues With It.
I too had major issues with LPP on the X2. I was a long time LPP user, but switched to Go Launcher and I haven't looked back. I've been using it for a little over a month and I haven't had a single force close or redraw. I won't be going back to LPP anytime soon.
The only thing I missed from LPP when I switched were the calendar and agenda widgets that were built into LPP. I downloaded Colorized Widgets (free) and the widgets are nearly identical to LPP.
I was using the FB and Twitter widgets. Not sure if they were causing the issues! I would get freezes that sometimes turned into force closes. Attempted to contact the Dev..., UH but you know how that's goes sometimes with some of these guys!

It was FC on me everytime I swiped to switch screens - made it completely unusable for me. I have tried them all, and nothing beats ADW EX in my opinion.
Rock solid.
Same thing is happening to me. I already bought LPP from the market, it was like $3, I really don't want to shell out another $3 or $4, I think developers should be fixing problems with their apps. I've bought so many apps for a purpose and then later they stop working because of a new android version, or they just become buggy altogether.
Go Launcher EX is free and has all the features of the paid versions of LPP and ADW. Plus, the GO team is constantly updating it.
Im sure the widgets have something to do with it.. I have been using LPP since day 1 on gb and not had had a single FC or issue with it.. Its FAST, and i have a few widgets on it:
-the weather channel
-Scorebook
-Sticky Notes
-Touch Calendar Pro
-Digital Clock Widget
-BT/AP/Wifi/GPS On/Off
not a single issue.. also have a few shortcut icons there.
I even had the 3d effect on for a while, but i turned it off cause i liked the bigger icons top and bottom instead of the fold over effect.. which is nifty tho.
I run launcher pro and only have had 2 force closes since I updated to gb

Is it me or does it not have an option to hide the status bar? I just tried it out after using LP for a half day and immediately had to switch back. Using Launcher Pro since I updated to GB yesterday, it seems nice, but I haven't found many good themes for it to entice me to get the premium version. On the other hand I came from ADW, and while it seems like LP is better in a few ways, ADW has a large awesome list of themes you can install which has been tempting me to return to it.
This is not my video, but it happens the same way on my Atrix, maybe not too pronounced like the video though. Seems like there's a sensitivity issue here. Is there an option somewhere in the launcher or something that will help fix this issue on my Atrix?

This was posted once on another phone, but never really answered. Some people say to just scroll slower, but Launcher Pro has no issues like this even with fast scrolling through the homescreen.
After flashing to Aura to get a feel of the fingerprint scanner again (I love it) it is like a dream come true, I always thought it was a faulty screen, but the screen double take issue never happened to me again on Aura's launcherpro. I downloaded ADW Launcher on the Market and the issue still exist just like CM7's integrated ADW.

Mine does this also. Unfortunately I don't have a solution.
Well, if you guys don't know a fix:
Maybe we can make this a signing club so I can post this in the CM7 thread or forward to them so they can fix it on the next patch.
Well, if you don't have this issue on ADW launcher, please also acknowledge it.
BUMP
Only fix I found was to just ignore ADW and just use Launcher Pro with CM7. Faster and much more stable with gestures.
Did the same on my legend, desire, sgs and this phone. Not sure why....launcher pro rules.....and looks relatively AOSP.

I don't have much experience with any but the stock launcher. In fact, being relatively new to android I didn't even realize that you could change launchers until I flashed MIUI which had three diff ones. I'm using Apex now and I like it. Any others that you prefer?
I started with Stock, LauncherPro, then ADWLauncer (which I liked), then Coffee Bean theam. Phone would sometime freeze and I got pissed and put it entirely back to stock.
Personally, with a little time and effort, stock is not that bad to me.
I am using QQ's launchers lock screen
With ADWLauncher EX. Have used SPB Shell 3D also.

I forgot, I had SPB Shell 3D originally too. Not ready for Primetime. Lots of freezes, I would flick my finger to change screens, up to a minute later. Sometimes it would lock and not let me make phone calls!
Here is the real kicker why I dumped them. I go to call my brother, nothing happens so I return to home screen. I go to call my mother, same thing nothing. I go to call my girl, same thing. I go to call my brother again, nothing. Geting frusted I put it down. 15 minutes all the calls that did not go thru, it would recall them back in order. If I caught it, I would just hangup. If not, brother picks up and finds im not there, hangs up, then my Photon would call my mother...............Agh! Then they all call back later and asked why I called them!
I had the 3D shell on Evo, AT&T Fuze, AT&T Tilt and did not have a single issue (then again, it was not a rich and flashy as now. Just did not work for me!)
zeam is the one that I use. (lol, is that long enough?)

This exact scenario use to happen to me when I used Go Launcher EX. Problem went away when I went back to stock. Months later, I loaded ADW (free version) and did NOT experience this problem. Purchased ADW EX a few weeks ago and the problem is back! ARGH!!
Anyone else having this problem with ADW EX?

I have had this same issue, most frequently with Go Launcher EX when coupled with my Cardock. I have periodically had the issue with ADW EX, but much less frequently.

Well, I am glad to know it is not just "my phone" that is having this problem. I'm also curious as to why it does not happen with the free version of ADW.
I've tried ADW Launcher, SPB Shell 3D, Nemus Launcher...The best one in my opinion is Go Launcher EX, easy to use and customize.
I've been having this problem for only the last month or so...prior to that never had a problem.
It started with Launcher Pro and mostly seemed to happen when the phone had been inactive for several hours. Switched to Go Launcher and still have the problem, just not as often...
Tried factory reset, then SBF, switched from 198_6 to 198_7...same problem.

For me, the problem generally occurs when I hang up with one person and then immediately attempt to place another call. I run my entire business through my phone so I am making and receiving calls literally all day. This problem definitely causes some inconvenience.
Ive been using launcher pro plus about a week now and no problems with.
Go Launcher Ex with ICS theme, and ICS themed icons.
Used to use Launcher Pro Plus all the time but got fed up with the lack of updates. Ran SPB Shell for a long time and had no issues with it. Not sure why peeps say it is not ready for primetime cause it works good on the Photon. Most that say that are probably using an older/hacked version of it. Now I am using GoLauncher EX because it has a lot of themes/widgets available and I like the amount of options however it does lag some when scrolling between screens depending on the animation used. When on ICS I was running Apex launcher and recommend it for that. Works without issue and keeps that ICS interface feel.
Since I switched from running SPB on my phone I loaded it on one of my tablets and actually like it better with the tablet interface. It really works well when in landscape unlike a lot of the other launchers. Don't like having the launcher bar on the side when in landscape on a tablet.
Hello,
I use ADW Launcher EX and cannot be more pleased. I got it during the Android Market Xmas Promotion when tons of Apps were $0.10 or whatever they were.
Cheers,
JJ
Go Launcher Ex!
Hands down the best (IMO).
Its the only one which has the ability to re-size icons & widgets irrespective of the original size.
I've used ADW EX and Launcher Pro Plus, while ADW has a few more features and is still getting updates, I love the features of Launcher Pro Plus even though it hasn't been updated in a while, every time I switch to a different one I always go back to it. Never had an issue with it, no lag no nothing. My phone is always super fast and it's only rotted
I like adw ex the best, never had any problems and usually crappy phones in general can run adw five times faster than their stock, ive tried go launcher, its very similar to adw but it glitches up a bit(not as smooth and snappy) adw also has resizable widgets and overlaping widgets(i do photos behind apps its kinda cool) never had any major problem with adw always been reliable and my favorite from the start!

I've been using ADW launcher now with no theme for quite a while. It's been really stable and a vast improvement over the stock blur UI. I like that I'm able to achieve a level of consistency between all of my android devices so switching between them isn't a pain at all.
Golauncher ex. Folders in the app drawer, resizing widgets, the new power manager (which rocks btw), and awesome transitions.
