Anyone having issues with LP? I ask beacause I may be. Issues such as home screens randomly switching, random FC's, and multiple widgets not being able to autoload. I realize that the widgets could be specific however having 3-5 a day not load leads me to the common denominator wich would be LP.
Atm I am only rooted with LP.
Peace

LauncherPro has not been updated in a long time. Also it does not play well with ics. Better use Nova launcher.
And one last thing, you asked this on the development section, which is only for a Android development.
I don't believe the author off launcher pro has updated it for compatibility with ics. Checkout apex launcher, you can use the launcher pro icons if you would like.

You'd be better off with the Apex launcher. Or Nova launcher.

Thanks for the headsup on the other two launchers...and the reason i posted here was because of the fact i considered the issue to be related to development of third party sw....if the development thread is reserved only for roms then my bad.

Apparently I do....when I find somin I like...I use it. Now if you have somin you wrote that is better let me know and I'll give it a try. However if you're one of those POS's that would rather troll than provide productive information, go ask your mom for arcade money and leave these threads for those that want to properly educate peeps.
Once again...thanks to the previous posters...I have tried both Apex and Nova and have decided to use both depending on my mood. They both provide more fluid properties than LP and buy utilizing both i am afforded a cheap and easy way to change themes.

I used launcher pro a lot, and it's very sad the dev gave up on it, but I found that GO launcher is the closest best thing (looks quite similar too in default), and it has so many more great features. I highly recommend to try it, if you haven't yet.

Personally, I recommend Apex launcher; its literally like the ICS version of launcher pro.

After the ICS update for the SGS2 is when LP went south for me. After reading about all the other options out there I went with Apex and paid for it. The big down side to Apex was lack of a calendar widget. So I ended up going with GO Launcher.
Honestly I'd love to used the TW Calendar - if anyone know how to used that with a different launcher I'm all eyes.

does anyone use Go Launcher on the Rezound?
The only reason I use it is because I like having
a lot of icons on one home screen. (6x7 to be
precise) HTC Sense doesn't seem to allow this,
or did I miss something?
THanks!
i tired and it lagged like hell on both ics and gingerbread. try adw ex, thing is smooth as butter.

I'm surprised it works fine on ics for you since I read a lot of compatibility complaints. I know it works fine on gb
I've used Sense, ADW, Go, Trebuchet, Nova, and now Apex. Out of all of them, only Go gave me a feeling of slow responsiveness. All custom launchers have lots of tweaks now (including grid size), so I go with whatever is in my current flavor of ICS unless I get issues.

I used goLauncher. However, I noticed the icons were very tiny, and widgets didn't take up the correct size of the screen. I'm using Apex Launcher now, so far no problems.
I absolutely love go launcher. It had all the options I need plus amazing themes. Rotation, gestures, custom fonts despite ics, and phenomenal updates, nothing even comes close. Sadly it only ran smooth on aosp or cm7 on tbolt. It runs like **** on rezound, after debloating and desensing , specially on ics. Ppl suggested other launchers but none come close in terms of themes maybe in options..
I just deal with the lags and hick ups and thank my god for their phenomenal dev team they came a long way on ics
Ask not what your developer can do for you, ask what you can do for your developer.
Used it for awhile and then noticed in my proxy logs that it was calling to china randomly throughout the day. adw ex now.

I tried go launcher when I was completely stock and it did lag so I decided I would try out sense for awhile. I ran go launcher on my Droid x running miui. I ended up not liking the sense launcher at all. Yesterday I rooted and tried out a couple of roms. Go launcher works great on cleanrom 1.7.5 and ineffabilis 1.4(currently on).

I use go launcher myself. I started using it real close to it's initial release and it definitely offers the most complete package among it's competitors in my opinion.
Since upgrading to ICS, I've been curious about the ICS only launchers. I've seen good work from the developer of each, so I have no preference with regard to developer. Then again, for now, Trebuchet, the CM9 launcher, is meeting my needs.
I was using Go Launcher Ex on Gingerbread, but I think it's gotten too bloated. I love how fast CM9 runs on my phone and I don't want to slow it down.
Also, are Apex and Nova just Launcher Pro alikes or do either bring something new to the table?

Bump... sending this one back around. I know somebody's got to have an opinion, I hear both of them mentioned enough.
Both are very similar. Just Download both and try each for a few days and see which you like better.

I'm trying Apex now because Nova charges for app drawer hiding and Apex has that for free, and that's a feature I like to have.
It's like LauncherPro and ADW last year, each offers for free what the other keeps exclusive to the premium version.
Not too many people on ICS here in Q&A I take it?

I use Go Launcher on AOKP rom and have no problem with speed. I've tried Apex but then reverted back to Go Launcher What do you mean bloated? I will install Apex again to see if there's any difference.
Edit: Been messing with Apex for a few hours. I like it better than Go. I disable all the transition animations and it seems faster.
Hey guys..
I was just wondering whats the BEST android launcher in your opinion?
My personal favorite is Zeam Launcher. I like its minimalistic look and its blazing fast too. It does not have any fancy features and it works great.
I also like Holo Launcher. I am still on Gingerbread so the Holo Launcher is a very appealing choice for me to try out because it is an ICS launcher. Holo Launcher works great and is one of my favorite. It has a lot of cool features but for some reason.. I keep finding myself going back to Zeam.
So guys... Whats your favorite android launcher?

Yeah.. A lot of people have told me to get Apex because its the "best" launcher for android if you have ICS. Unfortunately, I don't have ICS like most people. I hope to get a new phone though then I will be able to review ICS apps as well
If you like minimal and fast, try lightning launcher. I've been using it for months on all my devices now. It's great and let's you do loads of things that are just impossible on other launchers, like freely placing and rotating widgets and icons

Hey mate... I have actually tried this and I would agree with you that it is probaly the fastest launcher I have ever seen. However, it is not for everyone because their is only ONE home screen.
It may be fast but with only one home screen... its severely limited and putting apps on the home screen can sometimes screw up the grid. You just have to a little bit careful when you are placing or moving apps. Otherwise, its a great launcher.
Thanks for reminding me about this app mate...

This would make a lot of sense because Go Launcher slows down your phone and if you have a higher end phone... it should be able to handle it fine. But still... Go Launcher is a battery whore.

Hmm... it seems like an impressive app but it seems more like a homescreen customizer. It is a also a whopping $16.80 in the Google Play store... hopefully its a typo but if its not... it seems awfully high for an app.
I have been recently wondering...
What's the fastest launcher?

Its a quality app. We need to be willing to pay for quality apps if we want android to evolve more. That's just a couple of coffee drinks.
And 45mb is low for an eye candy app.

Thats HUGE!!! ... I am on a Nexus One and thats like a 1/3 of all the space available on my phone.
Zeam is light, minimal and yet lots of customization, very good.
Apex is also great. Go Launcher is falling behind from my point of view in comparison.

i use launcher pro as i think i purchased it for 10p ages ago and it allows me to shrink icons/ space etc so i can have more on my screen and more in the dock etc.
I still think apex or nova is superior,but 360 launcher is also nice and has some cool transitions

Yes... when your launcher is so slow that it lags on a dual-core proc? Where is that uninstall button?
Apex launcher is the best. If your phone is rooted than you can use Titanium backup pro to convert the Apex Launcher apk to the SYSTEM APP and it will work perfectly fine and faster...

Used since ICS Nova for my old S1 and for my new S3. Changed some weeks ago for TSF Shell.. Costs around ten bucks I think, but has several nice features (I love the folder option) and works flawlessy on S3 with livewallpaper. Doesn't suck so much battery as thought...
Personally I like the AOSP Launcher
The CM10 Trebuchet Launcher
Apex & Nova
As for TouchWizz the launcher isn't the problem, it's the ridiculous amount of crap that comes with it that slows down the device, well that and I can't move the Menu button to the middle like Stock Jelly Bean
But to be honest it's all down to personal taste, I prefer the Google Experience cause I use most of their apps, I have 0 time for the Samsung experience stuff. I mean seriously S-Voice over Google Now
For now i use Nova Prime. But from what little i have used TW in JB roms i will be using TW when official rom comes out.
But in the end it is all up to you!

Absolutely. The JB version is even nicer. This is the first version of TW I've actually preferred to use over third party launchers. It's really nice and very fast.
I use Apex and I'm very happy with it, no lag and nice features.
Look no further, might not be the most popular but is certainly one of,if not the best :good:

My two faves are Next3D and Nova. I bought Next3D when they had a 50% off sale about 8 months ago, but I've been using Nova more and more because...it just works great. No redraws, small memory foot print. I made the mistake and bought SPB Shell 3D back in June '12, and it's pretty much abandonware ($15 bucks). Yes, I could get the Yandex Shell for free which is a direct clone of it, but it has too many limitation, it's a memory and battery hog and redraws way too often.

well tsf shell is what I would consider the most "different" but definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
since its expensive, next is not bloated like GO thank god (HATE go lol) but it does take some tweaking to make it look nice (I like a clean holo-ish theme), fortunately because it is from the go dev team, it has a lot of theming support.
I would describe it as having all the customibility features apex or nova have but with the coolest animations and widgets I've personally seen.
best thing I can tell you is to go on YouTube and look at launcher reviews before you go spending money on anything.
