I downloaded the note widget from Sprint zone to try it and whenever I try to put it on a page, I keep getting the error message that there is not room on the home page. I have 2 rows available at the top of my home page. It will also not install on any other page. Has anyone used the note app and if so how did you get it to stick on a page and is it worth having?

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.
I downloaded this and used once. I then switched back to TW for a bit to see the difference.
Now I can't change back to LP, its as if it doesn't exist on my phone but its in manage applications.
I download the free versions and that shows up when you press the home buttom and gives 2 options, however there is still no option for the pro version.
Suggestions?
Well it could be that the PLUS is built into the free version once you purchase plus, like a key.. Check this by resizing the widgets, and if they get resized, that means you have PLUS. Also try using the launcher pro widgets, they can only be used with PLUS.

No it doesn't work.
I'll try installing it once again!
Still doesn't work...
When you wrote LP PLUS, did you refer to the paid version. As far as I know the paid version is PLUS.
When you press the home button, you will be presented with two choices: either TW or LP. You can select LP and make it default. I think that there is a tick box for this.
There is a handy app in the Market called Home Switched that makes it easier to chop and change your installed windows managers.
LP PLUS will show up as normal LP. All that happens is that the originally installed LP programme is used, but the extended features are enabled once you enter your Email and SerialNumber into it. Did you receive the Email when you registered your copy?
Regards.
I probably recieved an email but didn't enter my email or serial number into anything..
I've somehow got it working :s
While where at it can someone tell me the cool things you can do in launcher pro in comparison to TW?
Go into preferences, you have the option to enable LP Plus there. You need to enter your PayPal code and email. If you bought it from the market I'm not sure how you enable it, I guess the Plus app from there only works as a key.
Edit: to late
Plus gives you LauncherPro Widgets and the option to resize Widgets. LP is also much more customizable compared to TW. You can download themes for the LP widgets in the market.

Yeah I've got it working now.
Is there any way to change the colour of the widgets and dock?

There are several icon and dock packs on xda. I just use a app called custom launcher icons, much more handy.

I use 2 side by side people widgets on one page. I made some updates on gmail contacts and when one of the people widgets refreshed it had the name under the wrong picture, so I removed that one widget. I go to add it back in and I no longer have the people widget available to add. My second widget is still on the screen but my phone says there is no people widget. I reloaded the app from titanium backup (it showed 3?) but no change. I do a long press, go to widgets, and it's simply not in the list. Where did it go? Is there an apk or something I can use to load it back on?
Hi,
just got Themer, and I really like it!
But, I can't get Page Buddy to work (Samsung Galaxy Note 2).
Could it be because Page Buddy is a Samsung-only thing?
Thanks for any help!

Are you trying to use Page Buddy withing Themer?
Yep, I had my Samsung setup so that Page buddy opened the S-pen page (when I took out the pen).
That does not work after using Themer launcher.
No big deal, but I was just curious if there was a work-around....
Galaxy Note 2 > 3
I am furious that samsung took away page buddy and esp. did not leave any alternative or better feature on it.
I hardly think note 3 is better phone; only the dimension & maybe the Full HD screen will the selling point FOR me.
Samsung tried widgets on s4 and failed, I don't know what magazine's all about.
Anyways,
Here's why and how note 2 is better(this is all customed to my usability and the level of descent use Note features) :
S-PEN
1. S-Pen button and doube-tap on screen launching quick s-memo. yes, it's not good as action note BUT i think the most would use really note more than jogging down e-mails & phone numbers, if anything they should have included such feature or option on quick s-memo function. The biggest upside is quick s-note is treated just like any other s-memo.
2. Pulling S-Pen reacts as your 4th-hardware key/switch. Meaning, you can arrange app icons & widget or if any, you want to hide away can be launch pull(without detaching S-pen) and tap an app can be your quick launch. I have direct call, small s-memo widget, google translater, and starbucks, alarm(3rd party - "Timely"-because you don't need look/search for regular Time app, if you pull notification bar down and tap clock on left top corner re-direct you to clock). Try using optimizing page buddy as Quick dial or Favorite Contact.
Earphone PLUG
1. Music widget
2. Movie & Youtube widget & etc.
recommended shortcuts always changes why not have your own secret happy(?) place to go when you plug your earphone or detach your s-pen.
*Apple DO NOT take away feature that doesn't work right away(only based on my guesstimation). Nor put any prematurely developed or tested app. I just think Page Buddy feature has a great potential.
Does anyone know of a widget that you can write directly onto on the homescreen, then choose to save, share, discard it etc?
All the widgets I've found require you to press something to open a new note first which then goes full screen etc. I just want to be able to write straight onto the widget, like a post-it stuck on the homescreen...
Thanks

there is screen after clicking but its the closest i've found to what you want
Nice one thanks guys!
you can't actually type right on top of a widget because of some programming disabilities,
that's why all of the notes widgets opens new screen..
i like this one, because it looks less like new full screen window when you click on it:
