View 9 RepliesNo not the OTA. My Helix Launcher decided to force close ALOT. Back to back. I rebooted my phone to no avail. I pulled the battery and nothing was fixed. I tried to pull the app drawer and select the Uninstaller app, but it would force closed before I could open it.
Then I had a revelation: I have the Market as one of my shortcut apps on my Helix dock. I opened it up and went to my downloads, and opened the Uninstaller app. Uninstalled Helix, and now I am good to go.
I tried to switch from 5 screens down to 3 and it all started.
Are there any major benefits with having Helix Launcher 2? I installed it on my Incredible and it really lags with almost everything I do.

Step 1:EDIT EDIT EDIT Click the download link and rename .php to .apk.
Step 2 Download the beta on your phone.
Step 3: Go into astro and find the download in your downloads file. Step 4: install and whalah.
It wont let you install it directly from the downloads page for some reason. Dont set as default your first time incase of FC loop.
I have helix launcher(the first one) and I wanted to get 5 screens instead of three so I went to configure it and took off all my widgets like it told me to do. It restarted and I got a FC notification. It's set as my primary home and I can't get the message to stop popping up. I tried restrting my phone several times but before I can press the home button or any button the message pops up again and there is nothing I can do. Is there anything I can do to get past this FC notification?
View 12 Replies View RelatedLast week I installed Helix, because I wanted more home screens. Got that, and I also like the extra buttons across the bottom, very nice. the phone is laggy when I use Helix. I can switch back to the standard Launcher, and no lag, so it is helix. Is there some settings I can play with to help with the lag? is there another launcher I can try that has 5 screens (or more) and less lag?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Helix Lanucher installed on my Droid 2.1, and have had it for about a month now. And all of a sudden today, I am getting CONSTANT force closes, to the point where I can't even get to the settings, or market to uninstall it.
Is there another way to remove it from my phone?
Just wondering if any one else has tried this out yet? I've been using for a couple of days now and its kinda cool. Its kinda like a combo of some sense stuff and home stuff. Just curious if anyone has seen any problems with it that may have been running it for a while.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI came across this new launcher today called ADW and it is now pretty stable since it is free in the market place (was only available for rooters before). Its pretty similar to froyo
After tweaking with some of the settings I have gotten the speed to be VERY close to that of LauncherPro Beta
Battery life seems MUCH better than LauncherPro. Mine was last unplugged 16 hours ago and I am at 75% with moderate txting and web browsing.
FOR PEOPLE HAVING TRUBLE WITH THE SETTINGS: I have found settings that work WELL for me. These settings make this thing FLY for me!
Desktop Scrolling Speed: 374
UnCheck Live Wallpaper SUpport
Desktop Overshoot: 39
Drawer Zoom Effect Speed: 401 (the only thing in the launcher that needs work.)
Uncheck new drawer
Check animated drawer
Check fast drawer
This launcher has SO MANY CUSTOMIZABLE FEATURES!
This is not as speedy as LauncherPro Beta but this is just starting out and should get faster!
Check it out very cool! Oh and it has a setting to remove the labels from the icons!
HelixLauncher2 in the market says it requires 2.1-update1 that is on the N1. Does HL2 work on the Droid now? Does version 1 work on the updated Droid?I really, really need more than 3 home screens, and want to try Helix to get them.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI apologize if this is posted somewhere else, I looked for a while and couldn't find anything related. I want to know how to use the advanced shortcut option in HelixLauncher2. Basically I would like to have the generic phone icon on my dock but instead of taking me to the Dialer I would like it to take me to my Call Log. I would also like to use the standard Contacts icon on my dock but would like it to always take me to my Favorites Contacts instead of All Contacts. Does anyone know how to set this up in the Advanced Shortcuts in HelixLauncher or know a different way to do it? Also if anyone knows if there is an easy way to use a different Icon for each of those?

View 6 Replies View RelatedHello everyone, my names Nick, and I just wanted to ask a few questions. Back in february my wife and I bought 2 droid eris'. Now, we're very happy with the phones. Before these we had samsung delves. So these are night and day with quality. But as most anything, things get bigger and better. Of course the new droids out, it kind of makes the Eris, an outcast it seems. So we've been playing around with a few launchers like launcherpro and adw launcher. So far we both like the launcherpro, and might upgrade to the plus for the widgets. Does anyone with launcherpro plus, possibly tell me what other features you get buy purchasing this app? And my last question is about rooting. What exactly does it do for your phone? Thank you all!

I'm loving 2.0.2, so hopefully this will be just as good. Good to see HelixLauncher 2.
I just purchased the Launcher Pro as this blows the old HTC Sense out of the water.However, I used to have a Photo Album widget when using the original HTC Sense UI.In this widget you could simply swipe your finger up or down on the widget and it would scroll to the next photo.Now that I'm running Launcher Pro I cannot find the Photo Album widget anywhere. I tried out the Photo Gallery widget but it doesn't have the swipe feature.
Anybody know if there is a way that I can get the old Photo Album widget to work on this or a possible alternative?
So I know it's possible to install the 2.1 genie weather app and the Nexus gallery app on Eris 2.1. But is it possible to install the Nexus launcher on Eris 2.1? I'm not talking about some janky imitation that sort of looks like it, I mean the real thing. I'm talking about this:

I am working on a new layout for my UI and I am running into an icon issue. I am using LauncherPro and I want to use a different icon for actual app launcher. The icon I want to use is actually a bookmark icon for ING Direct (it is a small, orange circle). The only way I can get it to work is if I modify the settings to "swype up" for application launch. Unfortunately, if I press the icon I am taken to the ING direct website. Is there a way to pull the icon out of my phone somehow in order to use it as a 'custom icon'?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having some serious indecision. I have a Moto Droid running 2.1. I have DxTop installed and love it However, I find that screens space is becoming a little cramped, and the expanding it to a 5 screen set up basically gets rid of the functionality that attracted me to DxTop in the first place (the quick navigation diamond shaped desk top set up).Yesterday I decided to test drive HelixLauncher2. I found the program to give me much of the functionality I had lost with DxTop, as my widget use increased. Instead of 5 screen ins a cross set up, now I have 7 screens side by side, but with a quick jump that allows me to go from one to any other in one move. Right off the bat I was able to organize my widgets and shortcuts in a way that made more sense. The program also added the really cool 2.1 app drawer from the Nexus 1, which I enjoy. The downside is that screen rotation doesn't seem as responsive as in DxTop (it works but has lag), the App drawer cannot be organized by categories (it's only alphabetical), and the program (though smaller an leaner) is not perfectly stable (It has already closed on me once, but when it crashes it just reverts back to itself).So my question is, should I stay with DxTop which is no longer as functional as I would like, but is far more stable and responsive, and allows me to organize my app drawer by categories; or should I go with HelixLauncher2, which is much more configurable, is easy to navigate, demands less of my system, but is also not as stable, lags a little, and does not allow me to organize my apps in the drawer.What I wouldn't give for a snappy and stable version of HelixLauncher2 with an option to organize the app drawer.

View 8 Replies View RelatedLauncherPro hides the dialer button that you get in stock Froyo, and when I hit the Call button, it pulls up call history. Is there a way to change what comes up when I hit the call button? The only sense feature i miss is the dialer (minus the lag). I hate having to hit the search button or scroll through the list to find the contact I want to dial.

I have done a hot battery pull and still am stuck.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm running xtr 4.0.6.1 with LP Pro. Really like the setup and especially the dock at the bottom from LP. I have Phone, Mail, App Drawer, SMS, and GMail on my dock. I spend 80% of my time there in the Mail app as my Eris is primarily a work device for me, and my company uses Exchange. My issue is this, under Menu > Preferences, there are settings to turn on notification for Unread Gmail, Unread SMS, and Missed Calls. These notifications are down on the dock, not in the top notification bar. It's nice to have those three, but what I really need is the notification for Unread Mail (like the Sense icon has). I've been bouncing around the Launcher Pro website and came across somebody asking for exactly the same thing. In post #5 a user talks about using SDK to code it in manually via adb, and he's even provided the code. Here's the link, have a look: LauncherPro Forum - View topic - Unread count not updating home page. I've done a Nand backup of my current configuration. Would I be an idiot to try this? Can mere mortals like me do something like this? I'm curious to hear what the good and bad to this would be.
