LauncherPro Beta

Has anyone tried this??
It's in the top free downloads on the market, and I definitely recommend it!
It has the fly in effect when you open/close an app (a la iPhone) which makes everything feel so much more fluid.
Obviously HTC widgets don't work which is a shame, and its a little buggy being a beta, but you should try it!

Just downloaded it to give it a try. I like it.
The only downside is there is no choice of what to put on the bottom bar. I don't use the people or stock messaging app. If I could change them I'd probably use this over helix 2.

Busy trying it out now - it's extremely quick. I think I'll keep using it for a while, see how it goes.

The standard helix is actually better then this one. Especially in speed and customization

agree,
the only thing thats stopping me from using a launcher is no htc widgets and not being able to customize the grid of icons on the desktop so 4v4 only :<

how can you change the grid of icons in HTC Desire to more than 4 icons ???
Also i think that the Sense launcher is by far the smoothest and the best so far. nothing can beat it in speed, fluencity and HTC widgets.

How do I change the bottom?

I've noticed screen shots where the bottom portion no longer contains the ( /\ Phone + ) at the bottom. Just wondering how I can do that. Yes I am a noob. Just recently rooted my phone and added the Azrael Rom.

Get a new launcher, like Launcher Pro or ADW.Launcher. It will replace the Sense launcher. I think that's what you're looking for.

Awesome

Will I need to do anything special with it like the Rom?

I recommend launcher pro. you can find it in the market I believe, and you would just install it from the market. To activate the launcher if it doesn't start on it's own after install, is go to menu>settings>applications>manage applications>click on the 'all'tab. Find htc sense. Clear defaults (not data). Press the Home button, it will ask you to use launcher pro or sense. check the box and select launcher pro.

If you're rooted, there are also ways to change this with the stock launcher as well. Look for "Rosie" mods in the themes/mods forum. Rosie is what HTC calls the sense launcher.
Nothing at all wrong with Launcher Pro or ADW either though. I used LPP for awhile and really liked it, but went back to Sense because myn has it themed so nicely (transparent app drawer looks great, and LP can't do that yet) and it runs so smooth.

I swtich back and forth between Myn's regular sense theme and his themed launcher pro at least 3 times a day, haha. I can't make up my mind. They both have things I like, too bad they can't be combined. Have the scrolling dock on sense, and rotation of the home screen, I'd be thrilled.

Sense widgets in adw launcher framework?

I had asked a similar question before but didn't get a clear answer, is there any way to add sense based widgets into adw launchers framework or any file at that to apply them wile running it? I figured it was possible because the .apks run but when I try to add a widget they aren't listed. Any help is much appreciated.

I've never been able to do this myself and I've tried a few times....I believe it probably can't be done because sense widgets are baked in as part of sense launcher. It'd be like trying to use launcher pro widgets in got sense UI. They're two separate entities each with their own goodies. I know you can get sense like widgets off the market. But anyways my belief is you can't do this but if you discover otherwise please let me know

Same boat kinda... The only thing I miss is the calendar that is in month view like in the basic stock.

Yeah I'm sure someone can make it happen though. If I find anything ill be sure to let you know.

Nope, they're tied to Rosie, I'm sure.
Use Launcherpro and Beautiful Widgets. Together, they create a very very close imitiation of Rosie. Beautiful Widgets has the people widget and Calendar widget that look exactly like Sense.
And if you like the clock, use Fancy Widget. A whole combination of these on a different ROM will make you think you're using Sense

Yeah I'm just gunna cut my losses and stick with a stock warm z rom. Any good dashboards recommended? I am a fan of the adw honey comb theme

LP? Yeah, I just usually do a search for Launcherpro in the Market and it comes up. But if LP makes you happy, let's flash a ROM to celebrate.

[Q] Gingerbread Launcher

I am looking for some help. I like using sense, and would like to use a GB launcher.
I have found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035107
2.Real Gingerbread Rosie w/5 Column app drawer, Nexus S Style: (Chingy510)
http://www.mediafire.com/?8jamsekc4bvefvp
The problem is that it doesn't look right. There is a grey box over shadowing the launcher.
My question is that maybe Chingy510 or someone else can modify it to work and look good with Calkulin's eVio 1.8.
Thanks in advance!!

you're trying to use a 5 icon dock with sense widgets right? If so I suggest using launcher pro plus and launcher pro glass sense skin both are in market but they're not free. You can also add custom launcher icons to modify your dock bar appearance. The skin is almost exactly the same as sense.

Thanks for the replies.

So I tried both of these and they don't use sense, which is what I would like to keep. Thanks again, maybe some will have a work around for me.

Ah, sorry dude. I guess I stopped reading after "...and would like to use a GB launcher."

Ok so here is a snap shot of what I got. Maybe someone can help. I know its minute, but it's ocd to me.

Miss friend stream :(

I can't seem to find anything that compares. Colorize widget was the closest I could find, but it doesn't work spd shell 3d. Any alternatives that will work without using a common launcher?

I feel your pain, I had sense withdrawls when I first switched, then they went away but lately they have been coming again. With all the issues I've had with sprint and the lack of support from samsung, I think I'm going back to htc soon.
Anyways, enough of my rant, the closest I have found is the "android pro widgets", and it's free! It comes as a pack with a friendstream style widget, bookmark, calendar and even people widgets.
I really don't get why touchwiz comes with 7 screens and practically no widgets. HTC makes the only phone I have ever been able to create a nice layout using all screens and not have wasted space.

I miss feeds and updates widget that was on the first epic. Don't know why it's gone on the S2. If it's bcuz of social hub they could at least had added a widget for it!

Thx, but unfortunately it doesn't scroll for me and that arrow down is flakey

If you're looking for 3rd party (truly) scrollable widgets for spb shell 3d you won't find any. The reason APW uses a scroll button is the lack of scrollable widget support in your used launcher.

I use APW on my view tablet with and it is awesome. Better than sense for sure. If you really want friendstream, switch to launcherpro plus instead of touchwiz. LPP is smooth as hell and the widgets are awesome.
