Anyone know if Launcher Pro will look good at a higher resolution like the Atrix has? I tried LP on my Galaxy Tab and it did not look so good due to the high resolution.

I looks great. I changed it to 5 rows, instead of 4 stock, and you can fit more on each screen than a captivate. It's crazy fast too, and the transitions look great.
i just paid for the PRO version because i really liked the free version. Where do you go in and change how many rows and such? There isnt a Launcher Pro app in the menu.

You can change most launcher settings by pusing the menu button the homescreen and choosing "preferences" or something similar. There is also a shortcut there to the Android Settings menu, so don't be surprised if you click that one first.

I notice some of this as well. Nothing that gets me worked up, as this probably hasnt been optimized for dual core phones, but i definitely notice some lag.

Mine is so fast. I truly feel the unleashed speed of the tegra now.
Mine's working fine. Only problem is that on the "People" widget, contact icons dont show up. Well, only the contacts with a gmail pic show, but the ones synced with Facebook dont. Anyone else care to confirm this?
Thanks

I have had this happen on other phones. I just left the Samsung Epic 4g to get the Atrix and my Epic did the same thing. I waited a few hours (next day) and updated the "people" widget and they all appeared. Let me know if this helps.
Got a thread going in General about reboots. Launcher Pro may (or may not) be the cause.
For anyone installing, post back if the phone reboots at some point (within 24 hours) after installing Launcher Pro.

My launcher pro looks great. I configured 6 columns and 5 rows. I'll post a screenshot later. Love this phone.

Same here, and using Folder Org for grouping apps together, along with the "show apps" as the icon, looks very slick and excellent details on the tiny icons.
Been running the paid launcher pro for more than 24 hours now and customized it to death. Im currently running it with beautiful widgets and live wallpaper, no problems encountered
Its not causing reboots for me, but it is laggy.

Had LP Paid edition for 24 hours now and also on BW and there has not been anything bad about it so far. I dont feel the laggy as much more like its smooth now. The one thing I dont like about all this is the icons are so much smaller and so is the text for some widgets since resolution is so high.
I tried to put the option for stretch icon to fit in column and width but that didn't really do anything.
Other than that LP on this is pretty nice..... so far so good.

i cannot get the pictures to sync.
Anyone with the Calibri font think they can whip up some quick dock icons for the Atrix?
Preferably like the ones from Dreamlyfe Mini set?
Bare in mind I'm using ADW, but I have noticed that Live Wallpapers make my phone feel like a brick. The second I put a static one in there my phone went into rocket mode.
Anyone having a problem setting the default Launcher? I installed Launcher Pro and it becomes the default, but I can't go in and change it back to Blur as the default with uninstalling it. HomeSwitcher or HomeSmack are not working.

Well, I'm a huge GO fanboy and GO Locker doesn't disappoint. I love it and I'd thought I'd share considering we have limited lockscreen options. I like the Fourkey Theme.

I noticed in Gallery there's drawable-hdpi (37) with all the image files in there. I suppose you could change #37, which is the background of the widget. I guess in theory you could customize any of those files to customize the locker. It's just a guess though and I haven't attempted to try to change anything though.
I wonder if this will eventually become a full blown WidgetLocker/Executive Assistant type replacement. Can you add widgets to this app? Now that would make this an awesome app!
Anyone else get the bonus feature of not being able to swipe homescreens from left to right every now and then unless you swipe the other direction first?
This would happen to me with GOLauncherEX fairly frequently on my GSII , and I have stopped using it because of that. Now I am back on stock TW4 with no issues.

FWIW, I've never had that happen to me once and I've been running Go Launcher EX on my SGS2 almost since the day I got it.
And I've been using Go Launcher as my go-to launcher app for quite a while now, across quite a few different Android phones.

I always use the conservative gov.
But I did a full wipe and reinstall today, so I'll check it out.
Update to the app today, lets you finally pick the background!
Does this let you put widgets on the home screen?
My biggest use for widgetlocker is to have a pandora widget and volume controls on my unlock screen so I can use it [in my workshop or garage] without needing to unlock every time.
Extract image from GO LOCKER ICS theme background
Hello all,
I recently installed GO LOCKER with an ICS and was wondering if I could use the locker background as the background for my phone as well?
Is there any way to extract the image from somewhere through a file manager?
Thanks in advance!
For all you all, Nova Launcher does in fact work great with the Prime tablet. Just set the home screen grid to 10 columns by 7 rows for proper sized layouts, and i would stick to the cube or none transition.
but it does work great! just so everyone knows. (not a fan of adw, personally)
i've been using it as well, and i agree it works great, super fast and much cleaner looking than adw imo.
i've been using a 10x8 layout personally.
I use Nova too. I actually hadn't gotten around to changing the layout because I like my screen bare. But I'll have to try that. So far I like it the best, pretty quick.
Dock not showing up
Am I doing something wrong? I can't figure out why the dock isn't showing up. Anyone run into this problem?
why do you say it works great?
the icon labels doesnt show in landscape mode, the card stack transition is messed up. hardly can say working great...
however i do agree it has great potential and worth keeping an eye out for.
it has some issues, but it runs very fast and doesn't have any issues that are showstopping.
I really like it! thanks for this post!

Same here!!! Is hidden because of the tablet config???
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is due to the device type... Tablets = No dock by default. This may change with future releases of the Nova launcher.

The icon labels only show up when there is enough room for them, I've got my desktop grid set to 7 Rows and 8 Columns and they show up fine. If you add anymore rows, the labels dissappear.
The only problem I have with Nova is that the wallpaper is zoomed regardless of how I crop it. Anyone else have this issue?

Yes, I also had this problem with ADW launcher EX.
EDIT: you can use "PicSpeed HD Wallpapers" from the market to set the wallpaper correctly.

it has to do more with how HC/ICS handle wallpapers over the launcher, i use the multipicture lwp and it sets them properly.
ok guys... seriously.
NovaLauncher is a modified stock launcher. notice you don't have a dock on your stock launcher on your ICS tablet. well.. that's why you don't have one in NL either. tablet's don't have launchers unless you get a 3rd party launcher that forces one on a tablet, like adw. even launcher pro does it but not well.
secondly i can say that it works great because it does. don't use the card transition. the icons labels DO appear in landscape, just depends on how many ROW you are using in your grid.
why don't you do some investigating and trying things out before flaming the app. it does have great potential, but it also works great NOW!. it's better than the stock launcher, and personally i dislike ADW. so cada loco con su tema.

Picspeed still zooms the wallpapers with adequate ex for me, how do you get it to set right?

You won't find it on the marketplace. Grab it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071. Just download and install the NovaLauncher_beta.apk that's all you need. It quite good. Oh one quick hint... Once you installed use Titanium Backup to convert the app into a system app, that way the widget will preview properly as your ICS stock launcher.
By the way... is in fact the best launcher for ICS so far...
Nope Apex Lauchher is better ^

the solution i've discovered for wallpapers is that it must be at least the 1920x1408 for a tablet. doesn't matter which app you use

Doesn't work as wallpaper scrolling doesn't seem to work.
I tried to do this to my Note and had problems getting the wallpaper to display correctly. It would do some weird split screen thing and it looked like crap.
I am also interested to see if anyone can get it working.

Yes....scrolling is an issue with most Launchers on our Note....aShell launcher is the only launcher I have been able to get scrolling to work.
You could try using aShell for this setup, it is based on ADWEx.
i'll save the $ for now i reckon & stick with Zeam until something visually stunning comes along
I've got almost everything setup with a 3D UI on my Telus Note using Go Launcher EX. Like the rest of you, the only thing that doesn't work is the scrolling wallpaper.
Scrolling works find on GoLauncher. I had to disable and re-enable but then it worked just fine.
Also at the end of the vid he states that if you add a new homescreen it messes it up.

Can someone describe what's going on when you try and swipe between home screens?
Do the icons move with the adw ex transition but the wallpaper doesn't (stays static)?
Make sure you have wallpaper scrolling enabled in adw ex settings.
I may have the completely wrong idea but that's what it kind of sounds like..
lol it's a great UI once you get it going, trust me!

Yea wallpaper scrolling is a lot more fluid on the international version. Are you rooted?

I think the stock sense lockscreen is trash. Check out widgetlocker on the google store. I had this installed on the old evo, and reinstalled on here. I have ~15 shortcuts on my lock screen. Most of the apps I use all the time.

This is a big maybe since I only played with it for about 2 minutes before getting widget locker installed. I believe the lock screen icons mimic the same icons present at the dock when not locked. So if you add a camera down there, it should show up in the lock screen too.

So, by this reasoning...you could go to the stock launcher, put 4 things in the dock...change back to ADW and change the dock and keep the lockscreen icons?

Yes AS LONG AS you don't kill off Sense launcher because upon reboot since the stock launcher doesn't run, the lockscreen cannot read the icons. So you can but you'd be wasting resources by having two launchers run at the same time.
