Rooted Motorola Droid 1 running UD8. Having trouble with my apps that are on the SD card not appearing using LauncherPro. Getting to be very frustrating. Appears that LauncherPro loads faster than the SD apps. I have been successful in "Restarting" LauncherPro in the "Setting, Preferences" tab. When LauncherPro restarts the apps are then their for use. This does not happen very often when I aas I go on. Very, very frustrating to have apps on Droid and not being able to use them. Any help will be appreciated. Ready to move on to something else if I cannot get a working runnaround. This is what the window with the SD card apps that do not work looks like. This is the message I get when I try to use one of the SD card apps. This is what it looks like when I go into "Menu, Applications" to look at my apps. Stays this way forever. This is what it looks like when I try to move an app. Never changes.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI like Sense, but I also like LauncherPro.. especially the animations when you click the 'apps' button and the menu zooms in and has a 3d effect. Is there anyway to add that effect with out Launcher Pro ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just discovered something very strange. I had installed LauncherPro from the Market a couple of weeks ago to try it out on my Moto Droid, and was able to run it by selecting its icon from my list of apps in my app drawer. I recently downloaded an update for it, and now it no longer shows up in my app drawer. If I go to Settings:Applications:Manage Applications it shows LauncherPro as being installed... However, it is nowhere to be found. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it twice using Manage Applications, but to no avail.
Is this a problem with LauncherPro or my phone? None of my other installed applications have icons that have disappeared like this before.
What are the benefits of LauncherPro over any other UI?
View 19 Replies View RelatedNo massive complaints here, just a couple of weird things happening ever since I upgraded to LauncherPro Plus.First, sometimes when I unlock my droid the browser is magically open and waiting for me, though I never opened it in the first place. Second, the Facebook app randomly closes when I'm using it.Can't really pinpoint anything new I've done to my phone other than LauncherPro Plus.I love the launcher, so I'll keep it, but I was just curious if anyone else if having strange stuff happening to them.I am rooted - BB 0.4, Chevy LV 1.1 GHZ kernel

View 2 Replies View Relatedjust got my first Android phone today - a Captivate. I've been doing some reading and think I might want to try out Launcher Pro (the paid version?) and Beautiful Widgets. I just want to make sure there wasn't a whole lot of overlap in these two products. Do they work well together? Do most of you run both of them at the same time? This could be a pretty silly question as I totally not even sure what exactly both of these apps do.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI've been posting my customizations to LP+ all over and I figured it makes more sense to just start a thread. The LP+ theme is based off of manup and fabulous's revolution theme. All widgets are themed the same way, and yes the facebook widget is included. I plan on replacing the .apk with the most current version as soon as the new one is available, so please let me know if I need to make the new one.
*No root required*
Backup current launcherpro settings
Uninstall launcherpro
Put .apk on sd card and install via astro or any other file manager
Push home button then restore backup (non LP+ widgets will have to be readded)
Adding the market version with remove all customization
Tomorrow I'm going to remake the google search box and add it to this. And I'm open to making maybe another color or two and some other widgets (free or common ones)
I just bought LauncherPro Plus, but the thing is, I can't install LauncherPro?It doesn't come up on the Market and the .apk file won't install through a file manager, anyone know a fix?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have LauncherPro and it is working spectacularly, but I have one question. I really liked how when moving to other screens, the dX displayed the buttons to quickly jump to each screen or the home screen. Is there a way to do something like this on launcherpro, or do I have to hit the home button where it shows all the screens small and I can select one.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Android and smart phones and so I'm trying to figure it out. First of all I have an unrooted HTC Aria. I would like to customize my phone. I downloaded LauncherPro from the market but I've heard of another app called Open Home. Are they similar apps? For instance, does one need both on their phone or just one or the other? From what I can tell Open Home allows for much more customization?
View 8 Replies View RelatedHaving an issue with Launcher Pro. I've got an EVO.Whenever I hit the Home key (the hard button) my EVO resorts back to the stock launcher/home screen. I have set it as the default via Home Switcher and it still has the Home key bug. Everything else works fine with LP as far as I can tell.I have tried un/reinstalling the app. I have restarted my phone and the 'Home Switcher' app doesn't offer any relief. Don't know what else to try at this point.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know if any of you guys know this, but this was an awesome discovery to me. I found out that you can actually move left and right on the dock to add more icons! There are 2x more sets of 5 that you can add. I found this by accidentally swiping right on the dock when I wanted to change homescreens. I now have to change my homescreens because now I can add 15 of my most used apps on the dock, which will clear up the screen space for more stuff. I'm already having trouble filling up the 7 screens.LauncherPro is AWESOME!Have any kind of "secret" tips with this app?

I've been running launcherpro on the latest kangerade and I've been having some widget issues. On every reboot, my widgets fail to load, I get the problem loading widgets screen, and I have to uninstall and reinstall the application to fix the problem. Any ideas on what could cause this and how to fix it. Launcherpro and those apps were all installed on the phone. I had a similiar problem with the default launcher, and I must say its the only drawback I've seen with android so far.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the dock bar configured on my Droid Eris with the default icons, but I have changed the default application for each (i.e. the message icon opens Handcent instead of the default messaging app). However, I'd like to have the icon be the app that its actually running. How can I do this? I tried long-pressing the button and selecting "Change Icon" from the menu, but I can only use either the default LP icons or I can pick a picture from the Photo album. I'd really like to have the Handcent icon for the messaging button, etc.Any ideas? I've seen a few threads on here where people have changed them, but none mention HOW they've changed them.
View 5 Replies View Relatedwon't stay default *launcher. After one of the recent Launcherpro updates I'm having this issue where the window pops up asking which launcher I want to use when hitting the home button. It's not remember to default to launcherpro even when clicking the default box. It seems to reset after holding the home button to bring up the recent apps window. Every time now without fail. Can you test it out to see how widespread this bug is? Please list your phone and rom.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know there are several threads already about each of these apps but I'm not sure which (or if either) of them is the main culprit here (although I suspect its my failure to set them up properly that's to blame rather than either of the apps themselves).I have LP and QD installed (and love both of them btw). I have QD set as the default home app and in QD have set LauncherPro as the default app to launch when pressing the home button. I've also set QD to launch on long-press of the search button. By default, QD is set to open on double-tap of the home button but I've set the home key timing in QD configuration to 1ms so that is effectively disabled.The issue I have is that if I exit an app using the back button, I have to press the home button twice to go to the desktop overview (or get back to the main home screen if I'm not currently on it). However, if I exit an app using the home button then I only need to press the home button once to get to the overview. I'm sure that before I installed QD I didn't have this issue.Anyone else noticed this or know why it's happening / how to resolve it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI thought this was an issue w/ DroidLight update, then I assumed it was something after I downloaded PowerAmp, now I have come to realize that it is most likely either Widget Locker or LauncherProPlus. But here is the case.
After launching DroidLight, then clicking the "off" mode, then exiting to the homescreen, I go to lock my phone by the Usual Power press on my Droid X, and the phone shuts off only to have the light turn on a few seconds later on its own. This same process happens if the last thing I use is something like PowerAmp, even if I force close, it will turn on by itself after shut off.
It looks just like the Lpp calendar widget, and works great so far. Do the update if you're using this home app, and you'll get the Facebook widget under Lpp widgets.

View 4 Replies View RelatedTired of using the same old home launcher program? Want something to add some woah factor to your Evo? Well, you have came to the right place! If you have any questions, please let me know.
1) Download the following app : LauncherPro Beta - Android app on AppBrain
2)Once installed, click on the home button. You should now get this popup :
3)Make sure you click on LauncherPro
4)Now that you have that done, your screen should look like this :
5)Now, lets say you want some custom looking icons like these :
6)Go to the website www.iconfinder.com type in what kind of icon you want, kind of like Home, or anything of the sort.
7)Download them onto your computer (its easier to make a folder dedicated to all of your icons at first). Once done, put the files on your phones sd card.
8)Now, go onto the homescreen of your phone. Click and hold onto the icon you want to replace till this screen appears :
For the home screen button change, (the grid), click on app drawer.
9)You will now get this screen :
10)Select custom icon
11)Find the folder your icons are in
12)Select which one you want to use
13)Now you have this! :
Do this for anyones that you want to change!
If you havent noticed yet, the dock on the bottom scrolls down so you have these :
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Select blank, and it will dissapear. It will now look like this.
I downloaded it from the Market but it does not show in the installed applications.
So I tried again and again it said it is installed but still no icon.
But it does show as installed under settings, applications, manage Applications.
I saw a thread asking why so many people prefer LauncherPro over ADW, and I was surprised to see that one of the biggest reasons people liked LauncherPro was because of the 3D app drawer. Well being the mass follower that I am, I decided it must be better than I initially thought so I decided to try it out again. I used it for a week or so but just couldn't fall in love with it.
That being the case, I decided to start a thread asking if and why people like the 3d app drawer...I figure I must be missing something still.
So I just started using LauncherPro Plus, and now I can't make widgetlocker home my default like I used to. When I do, it just reverts my home screens back to sense.
