Ok, I have noticed on some alternative launchers (like launcher pro for example) if you drag an icon onto the "desktop" from the app drawer and hold it on top of the trash for a few seconds, it will prompt you to uninstall the app.....
Is there any way of getting this implemented into some of the custom roms around here? or is there something I could install as an "update.zip" to acquire this ability? I like the stock sense launcher so I don't really want to install and alternative launcher for this.....surely there is a way!

I'll pass then....if I'm gonna do that then I'll just go into the built in manager apps and uninstall it.
Thanks anyway!
Like I said, it is a feature that I like about launcher pro, but I don't want to install a different launcher JUST for that feature. Oh well, I'll just deal with the normal process!

I need some help into cooking Launcher Pro Plus into CM6. I bought and installed it to my current CM6 test5 from koush and it runs really,really good. Best one yet. I understand that it works great, as is, but I'd like to cook it in and take ADW Launcher out.
I know I would need to do much more than just switching out apk's. What other files would I have to modify for cooking it in?
Would it be much easier for me to push,pull, and modify a few files from my current ROM?
I just want it installed as my main launcher in system. The PLUS version is a paid app so I'm sure I won't be the only one asking how to do this.

Heh. Well that's what i'm trying to find out. I thought I would have to modify more files to instruct the install process or 2.2 to look for Launcher Pro Plus, instead of ADW.

You can have multiple launchers on your phone. If you put LauncherPro and others on your phone. If you have more then one installed at first it will ask you when your first boot your phone to select which one you want to run. It also has an option to set as default, meaning that is the default launcher that will always go to. If you don't set a default, every time you press the home key it will ask you which launcher to run. If you set a default and later want to change it to another launcher, go to settings>applications>choose the current default launcher and select clear defaults. Then it will go back to asking what you want to launch when you press the home key and you can choose a new default.

One of the biggest reasons I bought plus, was to be able to resize my widgets on my home screen. I'm not certain what other features it gives you.

LauncherProPlus and the Sense Launcher are mutually exclusive apps. if you use one you dont need the other...so why are you still using both?
once I went with LPP i never went back. i can confirm that Sense runs in the background. I completely removed the sense launcher and almost anything else that was sense, since you can't use any sense widgets on LPP. everything is working fine for me
I prefer ADW, but I just wanted to say in calkulins ROM thread he has a zip that will remove sense for you. I used it on his rom and MYNS WORM 2.2 without any issues.
Awesome guys. Thanks for the input. To my knowledge there are only two versions of launcher. There is pro and pro plus. I have calks remove sense zip. Ive been going back and forth with sense and lpp for a while now. I think im gonna fully jump on board with the lp band wagon.

Is there any way to disable / kill the sense process (without having root and running a ROM without sense)?
Why not root. With the newest version of unrevoked, it gives you full root. S-off, nand unlocked. And if you need to turn in your phone you just flash the stock non rooted rom. Root gives you so much more! Just my 2 cents

I'm a big fan of LPP too. Sense will run in the background unless you remove it (such as using the above mentioned script). If you just Kill Sense, it will come back so that isn't really an option.

Launcher Pro is a great Home replacement. Like Sense. I was just asking what the popular to go about using it was. Like do all LPP (Launcher Pro Plus is the paid version, 1.99, well worth it) remove sense, i mean you cant use anything sense related inside LP ie. widgets. If it runs it in the background why keep it

I strip Sense out of the ROM's I use. I used to use LPP, but have switched to Go Launcher.
The best cure to keep sense out of your rom is to go with CM6
going with CM is a surefire way of going senseless. but sense based rom are better period. why? you get full use of your Evo! hdmi and 4g. Im on Calks Evio2 rom using LPP and then ran calks remove sense zip and i have never had better battery life. 31 hours with 5% left at plug in.
As for getting sense back. just reboot into recover, wipe cache and dalvik 3x each and reflash whatever rom you had to begin with. wont change anything except give you have the sense launcher.
the best setup for LP is to flash Myns themed LP zip, and then update from the market. then remove sense. this gives you great looking widgets. if you use plus anyways. im always open to help. so pm if needed or hit me up here
Here again with another question: is there a better app drawer than the stock one? I saw one with alphabetical divisions, but don't remember where... Any clue?

LauncherPro. Better app drawer, and better overall home launcher. IMO
go Launcher has a nice app drawer.

That sounds a little bit like the drawer that LG put on their handsets, which has user-definable sections in the menu.
Also, +1 for LauncherPro.
An excellent little app IMO.
I already installed launcherpro and I like it, but its app drawer hasn't more functions than the stock one (you can simply hide some apps) it just looks cooler .
I'm looking for something more customizable, as the one from LG.

You could try ADW Launcher.
But, to be honest, apart from the LG stock launcher, I'm not sure there's anything out that that'll really do what you want.
Thanks step666 I'm starting to think the same thing. So at the moment I'll keep the launcherpro menu with some apps hided.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Adw is a good option if you want to separate apps and launcher pro plus is hardly any better from my limited experience with both ( about 3 days for each)
Sent using motorola defy
What some of you seem to be forgetting/missing about LauncherPro is that it's main purpose is not to overhaul the App Drawer - it's not called AppDrawerPro.
What it's designed for, it's very good at IMO.
As for ADW, a friend recommended it to me but I found it to be very poor in comparison to LauncherPro.
Yes, it has more features, especially with regards to the App Drawer, but they're not all that well implemented.

Hi All!
I really love the new TouchWiz but one thing that is annoying is the scrolling on app drawer. it to much iphone and not so comfortable.
so I wonder, is there a way to change the app drawer so it will be scrolling down and has 3D like the stock android/adw?
Thank You!
Switching to an alternative launcher like ADW Launcher EX is probably the easiest solution.
Try the "Nexus"-preset & "Vertical new" for the app drawer!
I think you didn't understood me properly(or maybe I didn't explain myself clear):
I really like what samsung did with the TouchWiz 4. So I want to keep it.
I want just to change the AppDrawer to be vertical scrolling(prefer with 3d).
Is theres a way to do that?
Im used to app drawers with the apps sorted in alfabetic order.
Is there an easy way of doing this in TW4?

In the app drawer, hit menu and then 'List view'. A reboot will default to the original.
No 3d I'm afraid.

Hello all. I've been lurking on the forum for a bit over a month now while trying to learn as much as i could about android and the epic4g. It's my first android phone and first experience with android.
That being said, i have had experience with ios devices (i own an ipod touch 4g and ipad2) and jailbroken apps like folderenhancer, and prior to going to android i've exclusively owned symbian devices.
For specs, I'm currently running LauncherPro Plus as my launcher on the genocide 2.0 kernel with the Syndicate Rom Frozen v1.2 rom, rooted of course.
What i'm wondering though, is if there is some way to create folders and nest folders to better organize all of the applications i have on the epic. I've played around with Folder Organizer, and it seems okay, but it's not the most intuitive software, especially when you start nesting folders by using their labels.
I would preferably like it within the launcher, so that when i hit the application button (or whatever it is called, the button that pulls up the list of all installed apps), i could then click on my custom folders and quickly find what app i want. Having to flick and scroll through all my apps alphabetically isn't the most efficient method of organization (IMO).
Thank you!
I'm not sure about launcher pro, I used it for a few days but I like the Anarchy Launcher that came with the TrInItY rom when I was running DK28 so I've just always used that . You should, however, just be able to long press and make/ set a folder on whatever screen you are on and then open up your app drawer and find the app you want and long press on it and drop it in the folder you made. Don't know if that will help you accomplish what you wanted to do but that's what I did to group apps for easy access...

Go Launcher EX does the folder organizing you want very well. You can even create folders in the app drawer and create shortcuts to each folder on the Home screen, etc.

I agree and use GO in this manner as well. And when u open app drawer and move apps in folders, if that folder also has a shortcut to homescreen it will have the new added app as well. I had launcher pro come on my rom as well but removed it for GO instead bc I like the folder setup way better
