LauncherPro Plus Performance, Widgets

I've experienced sluggish performance and weird quirks with LauncherPro on the G2, so I decided to switch to Zeam Launcher. I like it quite a bit: the swipe gestures and overall lightness of the launcher are great. The only problem is that I REALLY miss the widgets that LauncherPro provided me with.
1) Has anyone experienced issues with LauncherPro? I noticed that switching between landscape and portrait, as well as having the phone wake on keyboard open, are very sluggish, even with high clocks.
2) Are there any options for getting the standalone widgets for use elsewhere? Maybe completely separate alternates with the same look and feel? Calendar, Messaging, and Facebook are the ones I used.

I haven't notice any problem with LPP. I've ran it on my N1 and now my G2.

i heard the update causes those crashes so i didnt update and im still sailing smooth waters

+1, I prefer using ADW.Launcher, but LPP's widgets are really nice. I was wondering if there is any decent alternative to LPP's Friends and Agenda widgets.

My LPP has always had suttle, little hiccups now and again but they did get more frequent since the ota. I really only got LPP to hold me over until root and custom roms so I never really cared.
I really can't handle the look of stock android and LPP allowed me to hide the white status bar. I have become very fond of the dock however and don't know that I could give that up.

Yes. from wheni first got the g2, and even my replacement, the stock UI is 10x smoother than launcherpro

stock launcher is smoother...agreed.

After using LauncherPro for about two weeks, I came back to the stock launcher and immediately fell for it again. I did the same thing with the web browser. You can never go wrong with Stock.

Not sure about you guys, but LuncherPro is smooth as a butter for me - way better than stock (even though you stock ain't bad either).

I have noticed the same thing. Especially switching from landscape to portrait, or vice-versa.
And my widgets kept freezing. The way I fixed this is by turning off the keep in memory option. I forgot I had that set on my Mytouch 3g, and carried my preferences over.
As for finding widgets that are similar, the closest I have come would be the Sense UI ROMs. After all, that is what the LP Plus widgets are based on.

didn't read every post so not sure if it was mentioned but if you want widgets "like" LP's try the pure line. Has messenger, music, calendars and contacts. the messenger app does FB and Twitter as well. all themeable goes well with beautiful widgets home weather.

What keyboard you use?

So folx
Im using the stock one, but im thinking of replacing it because of landscape lag (if the custom one will solve the lag in landscape) and enter key..
What keyboard you use ?

Swype.

Smart keyboard has been my go-to for a LONG time now. I still use it, but I find myself just using the stock ICS keyboard more and more...
I think I've tried just about every one out there (swiftkey, Go, ultra, better, touchpal, etc.) I still think Smart keyboard is the best. Love the customization, the tap-a-word to correct option, large space bar, gestures, etc. It just does everything well. It still uses the old voice-to-text style, and I do love the new voice-to-text options in ICS (word by word). I wish there was a way to access the new way in it...

Stock for me... Used the HTC IME across my other phones (HTC or not) but actually like the stock ICS one more now...

Swype Swype

I like STOCK ICS very much, but the darn landscape lag is irritating me.. And the missing of enter button... But the landscape lag is killing me .. Thats why im considering another keyboard... But i think ill stick to the stock one for little more time

Moslty ICS stock
Sometimes Swiftkey

For me swiftkey is the best. I'm just waiting for an ICS theme. Than it would be perfect

Stock ICS Keyboard themed by me.

Is there a keyboard with programmable keys? so i can assign emails, .com.

I use Swiftkey. Seems that finnish language prediction works best with it and it can handle multiple languages at the same time so its nice.

I am extremely happy with the stock keyboard. That is the first time i've ever been able to say that with any Android phone i've ever owned. I have almost every keyboard available (smart keyboard, swift key, etc) and none even compare to the ICS keyboard when it comes to auto correction.
I read somewhere that Google purchased a company developing an app called "Blind Type" and incorporated that into the ICS keyboard and i believe it. I can type very very quickly and it still does a fantastic job of auto correcting for me.
My girlfriend also has a Nexus and hated the look of the stock keyboard and has since then tried all other keyboards as well... she settled on smart keyboard but has said that even that is not quite as accurate as the ICS keyboard.
She is a very precise typer though and I rely on auto correct heavily to type as fast as I do.

Smart Keyboard. It comes with a dedicated .com button which can also be customized to long press other things (such as www. , .ca , .org etc)
As for me..I always used Smart Keyboard, up until ICS that is. I've been loving the improved accuracy and spell correction now implemented with the stock ICS...although I do still miss some features from Smart (such as some of the swipe options and number layout).

Does anyone know what roms allow you to hide or disable the little keyboard icon when you use different keyboards?

+1 for smart keyboard.
I really like the gestures and long-press for numbers/special characters. Also can change skins to modify the look of it. The auto correct/spell check is still pretty good with ICS.

Can someone post an ICS themed (Black background and ICS Blue letters/numbers) keyboard apk that will work on a stock rooted 4.0.2 build?

I'm using perfect keyboard pro

Keyboards.

I was wondering, what are your guys favorite keyboards?
I really like the Sense keyboard, but the arrows are quite annoying, so the best for me would be the stock ICS keyboard, as it is pretty simple and very responsive and snappy.
I don't use any of that auto-correct crap either, what other keyboards can you guys suggest me? I've tried SmartKeyboard but I didn't really like the look of all their themes.

SwiftKey 3, nothing else gets even close to it.
Install that and forget about the others, believe me

Like I said, I don't use auto-correction, and I didn't find a way to disable it on SwiftKey at all.

Ok, thanks SwiftKey isn't the right for you because it's all about auto correct and word predictions.

I like the stock one and prefer to use it but if I had to change keyboards ( happened for some reason before ) I generally use Go Keyboard

Smart keyboard pro is quite good imo

Sorry for the old thread bump. Auto correct can be disabled (on the current version 3 i think) by going to advanced and selecting what space does. Change it to "always inserts space".
Also you can change your user profile to precision.

I use sense keyboard, and swiftkey 3. They are the best...for my fingers

If you are Running a deodexed ROM, you can use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612558
I installed it recently (on InsertCoin 9.6.2) and it works wonderfully!

Arabic Sense Keyboard
would you please help me find Arabic Sense Keyboard the official one (deodexed) that works with ARHD??
thanks in advance...

I use Swiftkey but it's a PITA that it doesn't allow you to set the height of the keyboard by numerical or slider values as I use a custom DPI.
A.I. Keyboard has a great implementation of this, you can slide the keyboard to any height you want.
I think at the moment though Swiftkey still beats it in auto correction accuracy, but I keep my eye on it each update.

I used almost every keyboard, but honestly I still think the stock Android keyboard is the best (Especially when I ran on Jelly Bean), and I hate the Sense keyboard, I don't know why.

go keyboard ! only beacuse the great themes

In Go Keyboard, is there a way to completely disable auto correct and hide the suggestions and language selection bar over the keyboard?
I love the themes for Go Keyboard but I also like my keyboard to be compact and since I don't use auto correct, I don't like to have any thing over my keyboard.
Last time I tried it, there was no way to remove that bar from the top of the keyboard. Is it there now?

Stock Jellybean Keyboard is my favorite, it's really fast.

Hey! If you like the Sense keyboard but without the arrows theres a theme you can install on top (HTC_IME) and you can choose your own colours too!
Right now im using bai du keyboard which actually is quite good theres a small row on top with numbers and you can do the swipe up and down for the alternative characters.

Gmail and ADW Launcher Issue

I just moved to an AT&T S3 having previously used a Sprint S3. The issue I am having on the AT&T S3 was not present on the Sprint device.
I utilize the ADW EX launcher, and have set it as my default home launcher. When I back out of the Gmail application, it goes to the Samsung OEM launcher instead of the ADW launcher. I have to press the home button to return to ADW.
Gmail is the only application where I have noticed this happening, unfortunately I use Gmail quite a bit, and every time it gets a bit more frustrating.
Thanks in advance.
Dave

I'm going to say don't use adw because it's very old and and unsupported, it may not even be fully compatible with ICS.

Glad you fixed it, though I'd prefer to run a more modern launcher and the latest and greatest version of Gmail rather than a launcher that hasn't been updated since 2010 and an out-of-date Gmail.
There are a lot of great launchers out there that are updated very frequently, with very reasonably featured free versions.

[Q] Looking for stock keyboard with swype/next word prediction

Im looking for a stock keyboard that has swipe, along with current and next work prediction. Ive been using swype and swiftkey, but I was playing around with a friends android phone (not sure what kind) and it was all stock. I noticed the stock keyboard had this and was very accurate. Ive searched thru some of the ROMs for keyboards but didnt see anything. I did not like the Google keyboard in the app store.

Stock as in the Samsung keyboard?
Edit: they could've been using a theme, like I have Kii keyboard set up with the Google keyboard theme and its very accurate!
