Sweet!! this is one thing I wanted since I got the phone
since this is just an apk, no need to be rooted, correct?
no root needed.
Thanks for this!
Nice thanks.
how can this be modded to work with another device?
Thinking #mytouchslide
LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!
thank you! xD
Looks great and works great. I won't be leaving LauncherPro as my everyday launcher, but I will keep this installed for when I want a little different look and feel.
Thanks for the work.

There's no widgets included? Could be residual . Needs to be cleaned up a bit.

Love it! Anyway to tweak it? Such as having the app drawer scroll like LauncherPro? Maybe extending spaced between icons a bit? I'm having some apps have word wrap issues.
Looks great on my Captivate!

Hi, im looking for the default android 2.2 launcher, but with the " move item" function in the app drawer (like in the lg launcher). ( want to arrange icons the way i want it and not alphabetically).

maybe the optimus v launcher? it looks like froyo.
please help
use Zeam launcher ! you will find it on market
Launcher Pro brings you the Froyo-style and is highly configurable.
zeam launcher does not have the froyo styled dock. also not re-arrange shortcuts in menu.
i have launcher pro. i like it but i cannot re-arrange the shortcuts like in the lg launcher.
Any other launcher that might work?

Of course you can, just delete all shortcuts and put them in the order that you want.

no you can't i tried and have been using it for months, the only launcher i found was the go launcher. but it does not look like froyo
Go Launcher has the "arrange in the order you want", but the app drawer doesn't look like the one Froyo comes with (which is not really a bad thing).
Check it out.

Ok, and how you are move/manage it?
Okay, I now have 2.2 thanks to one dedicated employee in the mobile phone area at Best Buy.
We downloaded the official 2.2 for AT&T, renamed it, put it on the SD card and ran the recovery so it overwrote 1.6. Which turns out is exactly what some of the threads here described, I just didn't want to do it myself and risk losing the phone.
Love having Flash and I'm sure I'll find other stuff I like, but I have to admit that I detest the main screen and how it works.
Can anybody suggest a good alternative?
How do I at least lose the "Social" page?
Edit: sorry about not marking as a question. I posted then remembered.
do you mean dell stage if so just get home switcher for froyo and try adw launcher, launcher pro, go launcher, launcher 7 they can all be found in the market then customize and pick the one you like best i use adw and launcher pro

I installed Launcher Pro and love it. Very customizable . Give it a try. Theres a free version in the Android App catalog
I believe that the 'social page' is a stage widget. Press and hold and then drag it to the trashcan that appears.
As others have said there are alternative launchers. I like LauncherPro and another is ADW Launcher. Go Launcher is becoming popular.
One of the best things I like about a replacement launcher (at least some of them) is that you can make better use of the screen size on the Streak, I have my icon grid set to 6x6. The agenda widget in the screenshot below is a 4x4 widget that would fill the entire home screen on a smaller phone.

That's Android Agenda Widget (paid version) BTW.
Edit: Once you are sure that you aren't going to use Stage delete all of the widgets from the screens there. You can DL home switcher for froyo to easily switch between home apps. Here is some info on setting default apps if you don't want to use a home switcher.

tried your apk on pikachu rom , it gave me parsing error.
I'm using it now, I believe its still in a beta form or something. When you lock the phone you actually have to unlock it twice because it still gives you the both lock screens. But the op is in the general section
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
Yes sometimes unlock twice but i feel this is the best i seen till now.. I uninstalled Apex launcher.. Its actually for non MIUI roms.
It only supports of ICS 4.0 roms..
Look at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622615
@Baba this is for CM7 and others (MIUI Launcher) :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220695
I tried this too but i dint liked it compared to above ICS MIUI Home Launcher..
Hope you guys liked it

That's because you have two lockscreens enabled. Either disable the CM9 lockscreen (settings/security/lockscreen) or disable MiHome Lockscreen (in MiHome settings). Other than that, it works great on CM9---Moto Bravo Quarx CM9 2012\05\06.
I think its a nice launcher.

I prefer my launchers to be at light as possible. It was too bloated for me. I personally enjoy Go Launcher EX more than Next, but I think I'll be sticking with Action Launcher Pro for a while now.
