I pushed it to the NC and while it worked, I found that it became downright amazing once I used the unlock code I had purchased for my EVO.
*Widget resizing was always weird and stupid on my Evo. I set my NC to do 10x10 rows on the homescreen and when adding widgets they looked odd...finally I see a reason for the widget resizing. It fixed the widgets very well.
*Dock shortcuts crash LP, but when you unlock LP you can add swipe gestures and those work fine. So basically, it seems at this point you need to swipe to launch apps/etc because tapping the dock won't work.
*With all the screen real estate, I think 3 home screens is going to be more than enough for me (though I have yet to fill up 1). You can fit so much into it that the 7 I use on my Evo seems quite excessive.
I'd love to know if anyone can figure out how to use the dock icons as usable shortcuts.
What version you running?
I am using the latest launcher pro version and launcher pro resets when I try to add shortcuts to the homescreen.
Any ideas?
I got the same problem.. The only icon that works on the dock is the web one.
It successfully launches dolphin HD.
If I try to modify the other default icons, I can change their icon, but it will not launch any app that way. It gives the "Cannot complete requested activity."
I love this compared to the default, its so smooth! but I need to know that I can fix the problems before I'll shell out the money, haha.
Has anyone gotten this stuff to work?
Perhaps using a different version?
But you can add your own shortcuts.
Those icons refer to functions that the Nook doesn't natively support. SMS, contacts and phone. To me that's a small nuisance, hardly noticeable anymore. I'm sure these will get ironed out.

Go to the app dock, where you can see all of your apps. Simply tap n hold the app icon you want on your Launcher Pro homescreen, and you'll automatically be taken to the homescreen with the app still "captured", awaiting you to place it anywhere.
Has anyone else here tried Go Launcher? I think it's my new favourite. It locks my Streak's screen in portrait by default and is very smooth. You can also organise you home screens better than other launchers too, similar to that of the Galaxy S where you can add, remove and re-arrange your home screens.

Going to try it out now.
U have any screen shots, to check it out? Sounds good.
I am actually trying it out. Its nice the only thing is the grid size of 5x5 is to small.

I prefer it. I'm using a pixel density of 200 though so 5x5 is a good for me. It seems to run smoother for me than ADW and I really prefer the way it does the previews as opposed to the sense leap style. You can have up to 9 homescreens which is a bonus.
The only thing I'm not 100% on is the app drawer.

I like the app drawer. The options for running apps is good and you can uninstall from that screen.

+1 on uninstall from drawer. I just wish the top row was smaller, or there was an option to turn it off. To be honest, I generally don't use the drawer very much anyway so it's not a big deal for me.
There are only two things keeping me from using LauncherPro. It can't be locked in portrait. I use a lot of widgets, so if it switches from portrait to landscape then it takes a long time to switch back. The other is that if I want to change the number of home screens, I need to move all of my widgets if I want the default screen to be in the centre.
Tell you what, if Go Launcher can put together a swish Facebook widget like the one in LauncherPro Plus, I'll be sold!

LauncherPro not being able to lock in portrait is only a problem on the Dell Streak because the default orientation of the device is Landscape :/ LauncherPro DOES take SOOO long to switch from portrait to landscape and it annoys the heck out of me if I'm holding my Streak in Portrait and unlock it... feels so sluggish.
The app drawer in GO Launcher is nice, but I wish we could squish more apps side-by-side. That and the text seems like it doesn't fit and shows like Ca...ra (Camera) but for almost all the apps.
I stop using go launcher and went back to launcher pro. Could not get used to the small grid size. If they update the grid I will download it again.

It also made the wallpaper issue worse by showing less of it than even stock. Also couldn't use custom icons for buttons as some didn't work.
Went back to launcher pro.

Do guide us too as to how to use the Go launcher. Would would good to arrange the widgets on the dell streak
Actually you're bit wrong. Here's why: I have launcher pro plus along with simple lock lockscreen application. Not only unlocks the screen in portrait mode, but also, incoming calls are in portrait mode
Cheers,
Chris
Testing the last few days, using adw ex as default. Like I can have 9 screens very smooth. Prefer the drawer ui 4D also golauncher didn't show full app name in the drawer menu
I'm going to continue using atm

I like this Go Launcher, very stable and smooth. This can really lock the screen in protrait mode. Much better than Launcher Pro.
The dock on go launcher is turned left about some pixels..(on potrate)
Question for those using Go Laucher - is there a fix for the issue of the Dock background graphic not scaling correctly on the streak (for example the "ruler" from the sketch theme only covers about 2/3rds of the background of the dock)?
I'm running 2.2 (build 315)...
thanks
I guess it is because of the different DPI Dell Streak have (other WVGA devices have 200 dpi, Streak have 160 dpi). Maybe try to ask authors?
But good news, Go Launcher Ex can have now custom rows and columns on desktop now!
Using latest version of go launcher. Much smoother than adw and pro. It is now my favorite one. Zeam follows as close second because its latest release freezes alot.
I am not seeing any of the issues reported about wallpaper.

Does no-one else use VTL Launcher then? I've had it a few months now and love it, mainly for the docks that stay there no matter which screen you move to.
Anyone compared it to Go / ADW etc?
im comin out from the htc inpire, and now has the atrix, and when i use widgets/adwlauncher/adwdock/ they dont seem to take up the whole space in the homescreen, when i use adw launcher the docks are not extended all the way. is there a workaround to this?
It's because the density is a bit lower on the Atrix. I supposed if your phone is rooted and used LCD Density Changer app, you can put it back to normal. Haven't tested the app out yet though...
check out these comments about th home screen
Let’s start with the homescreen. With the Atrix 4G’s higher resolution, Motorola felt it was necessary to size down the homescreen so that objects fit in at their native resolution for an 800 x 480 phone. But, any widget I tried from an external developer was able to stretch just fine using a replacement launcher. It’s a little annoying to have this big border around your homescreen since it serves no purpose.

in the screenshots thread Ive seen homescreens that are fullscreen, docks that stretched all the way....?
It is because of the higher density; right now I'm using a launcher with just one screen; composed of the moto messaging, wifi, GPS, calamder, and clock with something else.
I like the Widgets and the way they look. Definitely love the screen though.
Rooted/ROM Captivate (For Sale)
Rooted Atrix
Has anyone seen this launcher they stripped from the rom? Tried it on my CM7 Nook but desktop is sized for a phone..... does anyone here know how to fix the resolution for the nook?
One of the smoothest "tablet looking" launchers I have seen....Very smooth scrolling, nice folders etc with pop up app drawer......

Download LCD Density Changer and adjust your the density to 200 - 240. It looks better. Good find though

I have a modified version I setup for my Nook; it features 5x5 desktop, 5 window panes, 4x5 app drawer. Dimensions are setup for 1024 x 600.
I have been trying to get a 5x5 app drawer to no avail -- for some reason cannot get to 5 rows.
[I cannot post the url to the download as I am a noob PM me for DL link until I can update with the link]
If you want anything customized let me know and I will try to accommodate.
Lol, post the link without the www or http and it won't post as a link.

He may have stopped taking requests, but the steps are fairly easy to follow.
Also, this method is for the old xperia launcher. They may not work with the active launcher.
thanks turdferguson92 that should get me going, its really not a huge problem but would like to use all the screen real estate....at least ill be able to turn off all the extra homescreens now, i just use 1
I've been able to change the number of home screens as well, however I noticed that this launcher handles widget sizing differently?
The desktop grid is set to 6 columns but when I try to put for example, a 4x2 widget, it will only use up 3 columns
What can I do to fix that?

Yeah, I noticed that as well. As far as I know, the sizing on that particular version seems correct. But I'm sure I missed something after looking over it.
I would try to fix it myself but I haven't really had the time lately. As for fixing it yourself, it's just a matter of decompiling it, editing a couple of xml's, and zippin' it back up.
Hi Guys,
Can anyone make the Xperia Arc Launcher to work on Sony Tablet S???
I'm curious, I've installed Nova launcher on my tablets and phone and love it but there's one issue I can't seem to find anything about.
I set my launch screen to have say 7wide*5high icons then this will look good in landscape but when rotating to portrait the amount of icons is rotated also so it's at 7 wide and 5 high even though the aspect ratio has flipped. I don't get why launchers don't just rotate the icons on the spot so that it looks good in one rotation and not the other.
Does anyone know of a way of fixing this in nova or if there is any other app out there that will sort this?

Absolutely agree, keep the exact same layout, just rotate the icon so its legible.
