Launcher pro - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Who else here using launcher pro as their default launcher? Has anyone notice during reboots it takes time for it to reload? Other launchers like go ex, launcher 7 reloads automatically..

Im using launcher pro and i dont get you?
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!

After every fresh reboot it shows a blackscreen for like minimum 20 secs to 1 minute before it totally loads up. Unlike go launcher which im in right now, after every fresh boot you can use it directly even if everything is still scanning. Dont get me wrong i love LP, im asking here coz i cant compare it to someone else coz im the only one here at home using android.

I know exactly what you're talking about. And more often then not I ended up force closing it. Until I started using CM9.

Yea, usualy its just FC on boot, after this all going ok.
I was fan of LP from Nexus One launch. But few weeks ago changed it to Go Launcher. Was annoyed by bug with rotation in all apps list (when all icons go to 1 corner). Go launcher was realy laggy on CM7, but now i'm using RevoHD4, and seems Go launcher not lagging anymore.

Having the same problem here. With every ROM or Kernel, LancherPRO Plus always take 20-40 sec to boot up. Sometimes it force close...
I'm using it this way because it's only on bootup but its annoying me since last year. I was hoping for and Update but there's almost 8 months since the last version was released. I think this project is abandoned.
I think i will change to another launcher.
Does anyone recommend a good one? Where the APP Drawer list apps alphabetically and not like TW, i hate to organize every app i install.

when i was on gingerbread i use go launcher i think it's the best launcher , now on ICS i just use trebuchet

I use go launcher but don't notice the problem you described, although I do get the feeling the app has been abandoned. I suggest go launcher, because although it has slightly more lag than launcher pro, it is more customizable in my opinion. you can also try adw launcher and see which you prefer.

I use LP, but behaves a little differently on reboot than the descriptions here.
No blank screen - icons etc load instantly - but it's unresponsive for 6 seconds (timed it).
No biggie for me, I usually have 6 seconds spare...

Same here. Max 5 seconds spare. I think it depends on your system.

Maybe it has something to do with widgets you use?
I'm using the LP Twitter Widget (with a modified dark-transparent skin), Beatiful Widgets for clock/weather, 5 SimiFolders widgets 1x1 and PlayerPro Music Widget...

Go Launcher EX

Okay, so this isn't the worst launcher I've used, I can think of ones I hate more. But I do have an issue with it. My home screen always winds up all weird, or everything disapears off of it after a reboot. The other pages are fine and retain their apps and such just fine. So I can't figure it out. Anyone else have any issues? Yes, I'm rooted, unlocked, running Joker Skinny ROM version 0 (Haven't had time to upgrade yet) with the 1.3 ghz kernel for now.
That sounds really weird. I haven't had any issues with go launcher except that some times i want to go to landscape mode and it won't...but i think that's just my settings...it ain't for everyone, but try uninstalling ,wiping cache/ dalvik before trying to reinstall?

I had a very similar issue with GO Launcher as well. See link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332813
I am rooted and running stock ROM. I performed a factory data reset, removed the battery and all went well. My widgets started loading perfectly. Widget Locker loaded perfectly. It was like nothing was wrong. I know it sounds very simple but it worked for me. Qbking77 pm me back and he said that he experienced some issues with GO Launcher as well.
Hope this helps!

I'm gonna try Launcher Pro and see if I like it better...and as it turns out, there are some trade offs it seems:
1) Max 7 homescreens - You can get 18 in Go Launcher EX (9 screens x 2 sets) I think, but I've never gone past 8
2) Can't uninstall from homescreen - You can do this in Go Launcher
3) Can't change icon/name of app in homescreen - You can do this in Go Launcher
4) Less screen to screen animations available - There are about a dozen in Go Launcher
5) Faster than Go Launcher - Though still laggy straight off of lock/screen off
6) 3D app drawer is a nice touch - I almost prefer the side scrolling pages
7) Doesn't seem glitchy - Widgets and apps sometimes would have to be replaced on homescreen in Go Launcher
8) Can't drop multiple apps onto homescreen - Go Launcher can...
I guess if you're all about customizing, Go Launcher might be the way to go...but performance-wise Launcher Pro seems a bit better.
I actually had the best luck with gingerbread launcher.

Wow! I can't believe the problems you're having. I've never experienced any of those. I agree with ktt16 on the universal suggestion. Also delete any widgets created during setup so you start with any empty desktop.

I'm running cybiks CM7 port and I'm using go launcher ex with no problems. I think I did have an issue once while on stock but go launcher got updated and had no problems since. I do know that go launcher had a good update cycle so I wouldn't be surprised if your issue gets fixed in the next app update.

In launcher pro, you can uninstall stuff from the home screen if you hold it over the trash can for a second or two.

How many apps have you already installed in the Note?

Just curious, how many you have installed?
Mine is 68 in Google play market and the total is 215 with Titanium Backup Display (include system apps.). Not sure that many of apps are slowing my Note down.
26 user apps, 169 total including system apps. I'm running TPC v2, Da_G's PC kernel @ 1.83 GHz, and all bloat removed. No lag whatsoever, my phone is fast as hell.

Mine is stock rooted, I have no lag... I switched to Launcher Pro though, although I was kind of liking CheeseWhiz's launcher, it's not really that bad but the fact that folders in the apptray and folders in the launcher desktop were completely separate pissed me off.. In hindsight if I really wanted to use CheeseWhiz I could have just put all of the apps I want to hide in one folder and not otherwise had folders in the apptray, but I spent 30 minutes or so organizing apps in folders in my apptray only to find out you couldn't put those folder on the desktop then. WTF?
40 apps not more!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I'm using ADW EX for my launcher as well, which can do a lot for reducing lag if you have any. My phone didn't have lag anyways before I went away from stock, I just like being able to flash stuff and mess with my phone. Also, more importantly than the national increase in performance, rooting allows me to mod my phone's theme much more with custom status bar icons and such using UOT kitchen. Any reason you're staying stock?

No lag in ADW EX? You must have very few icons, folders, and Widgets on your device. I found ADW EX really jittery, especially with the fancy folders on. Even disabling that, it was jittery. I eventually just went back to Launcher Pro.

just need one more app to make perfect.....that app that makes your camera flash when you receive a text or call....does anyone know of any that works for the note?

I only ever use one home screen with 5 apps and one minimalistic text widget. That being said, adding more screens and populating them did not show any lag still, and my app drawer is totally smooth and opens instantly as well. Who knows, maybe your device doesn't like ADW EX?
I don't like having more than one home screen, because I don't use a ton of widgets, and I only have a handful of apps I use often. everything else can go in my app drawer.

Launcher resets and fc's

I've been using both GO and ADW EX for the past couple weeks and it seems like every other time I close an app either every widget I have on every screen will reset itself or the whole launcher will force close. Certain widgets like Power Amp for example will not even respond to me when reboot the phone.
Only major changes I've made to my device is running V6. Post-V6 has been worse than pre. I'm trying to get to the V6 engine controls but I can't remember how.

Just run the script again...you should get a menu with options from there on the latest RC I think its option 14 or 15 to remove the settings
Also are you running the secobd core script...I have a lot less of those issues with that script enabled

Recommendation: If you are running CM7 DON'T use V6. There is a setting in the CM7 settings that will allow you to lock the launcher in memory. Try that.

Wow its definitely a LOT faster on my Note.
The only thing that bugs me is the smooth/slow transition when launching apps. Compared to Apex in which the apps launch very quickly. It's like Go launcher is almost toooo smooth in that respect.
I'll also monitor battery use via "bad assbattery monitor" since the last version definitely used more battery than other launchers.
It is my favorite launcher even though I switched to Apex the last week. I'll give Go another try

Take a read thru the description on the blog, all the changes are there.
Namely, the major change I like is the new method for adding shortcuts, widgets, etc. Long press any empty area on the screen and instead of the ugly menu, a list is displayed at the bottom.
Also, the app drawer (the screen that shows the list of apps) is also much better.
Is it more fluid/smooth/faster? Eh...
It could still be better but its never going to be as smooth as IOS due to how Android works vs IOS. Android physically moves each pixel around on the screen using 'math' to determine where each pixel should be drawn, one pixel at a time, then draws the frame, repeating frame by frame where as IOS uses pre-processed pictures in rapid succession similar to how film on a projector works.
Downloading now can't wait to try it.

No Go. After random nonsense with their apps, including dragging phones down to their knees with running logcat hundreds of times in an apparent public debug release, no. Avoid all Go junk.

Beta 3 is up. Beta 2 I had no battery issues. Actually go has never given me battery problems to over a year and two phones.

New DNA owner - phone feels sluggish

I just got a DNA coming from an s3. I don't know if its me but the phone just feels sluggish at times. For example when I close an app sometimes idyll close and then itll be a few seconds before ally icons pop up. I'm using nova launcher btw.
Just wondering if its just me. Is there anything I can do to fix??

Coming from Sprint's network and the EVO Shift, this phone rocks stock. It's the first phone I don't feel the NEED to root (But I do want :victory: ). Smooth and fast and beautiful. But HTC Sense is a preference, and the camera is great. I forgot what I was saying...
I'd love to root but it has the latest software, boo!!!
I put sense on and its much better. I'll keep it this way til I get bored and I'll try something else.
Much faster though!!! Thx.

It sounds like you're definitely having an issue with the launcher configuration. I've dealt with that before too, but the good thing is sometimes I'll have trouble with nova trying to get the settings dialed in perfect and it still will feel off, and I'll try apex and the stock settings out of the box perform crazy fast and smooth. Or it might be vice versa, but I would tinker with that.
Also, make absolutely sure you aren't restoring your launcher backup or settings or anything that you used on the S3 over to the DNA.

I'm talking about the settings in the Nova launcher settings, not the ones in developer settings. There are speed settings in Nova launcher's settings that you can tell it to give priority to speed over graphics.
Edit: Found another person's post on another site about it:
To make it even faster go to nova settings, look and feel and change scroll and animation speed to faster than light.

That does make it feel a little faster but i was saying that nova launcher made my phone unresponsive once.. The button clicks would take few seconds to register.... A reboot fixed it... Thank you. I am trying the faster setting and i like it
I tried adw but went back to nova cause I just am familiar with it.
I changed the settings to faster than light and its way better so far!!

Check if you have kill all apps when leaving in the developer options. This doesn't play nice with the launcher.

there is an option like that (dev options -> advanced -> "Don't keep activites") but i don't have that enabled...idk. i cleared cache with nova launcher and it oddly seems more responsive..
Maybe you just aren't used to sense? Sense has always been known for being a heavier skin. I'm fine with it, however sense 5 is way faster and smoother. Just because the phone doesn't feel fast, doesn't mean it isn't. It is a very quick device.

I don't know if this thread is dead but for people with this issue in either nova or apex in their respective advanced settings you can make the launcher stay in memory. This brings redraws to nothing on apex for me.
