[REQUEST] Is there away to have launcher pro but still have htc sense??

s there away to have launcher pro but still have htc sense?And with the widgets?

yes you can swicth between both

technically no because sense is basically a launcher over top of standard android. its either one or the other. however launcher pro has sense themes on their site if you dont really care about the sense widgets much.

This should be in Q & A and not Android Dev...

Like the others said, you can have both Sense & LauncherPro, & switch between them, but you can't have the Sense Widgets on LauncherPro. There are plenty of look-alikes in the market you can use though.

additionally if you get launcherpro plus you get a decent replacement for most of the sense widgets that have been remade for launcher pro and can resize widgets which is prettynice.

Add SwitchPro to that mix and you've got everything you need! Heck, between the triple-scrolling task bar at the bottom, 8 SP slots for all my radios and functions I access, three normal shortcuts, and a resized calendar widget, I have everything on one home screen.

Not to forget that you can get up to 7 by 9 icons on the home screen and a rolling apps listing in "3D".

EasyHome
I use an app from the market called EasyHome. It places shortcuts of different launchers on your homescreen! I have sense, adw-launcher, launcherpro, and an experimental AndroidWindows7 launcher.

Oh i thought yuo could do those with the non paid version! even more bonus.
I have had the paid since it came out so hard to keep up with all the benefits there are tons. worth every cent.

Why would you want it

Thread moved to Q&A.

Why would you want it

i could see someone who really likes the sense widgets wanting to but thats why launcherpro plus has recreated them. with out purchasing any apps(or launchers) it is very hard to replace all the sense widgets with something that is as good as what sense has (widget wise).
If you look you can find many that are close but a lot are paid apps. personally i still think your best bet is to simply buy the plus version of launcher pro and as mentioned switchpro. between the two and a few free apps you can replace almost every sense widget.
while its easy to ask why would you its not hard to see why someone would want to if they didnt have knowledge of which apps to get to replace the sense widgets and lets be honest looking for anything in the market is no easy task if you dont know its name.

How to replace stock app drawer with 3D App Drawer from LauncherPro

Attention!!!
This thread is for people who use HTC Sense UI, like HTC Sense UI and are NOT interested in hearing your opinion that Sense sucks comparing to LauncherPro, ADW Launcher or how Sense widgets are replaceable by Beautiful Widgets. If you're planning on posting about those - *PLEASE* don't. This thread is for discussing 3D App Drawer port to HTC Sense UI. Thank You.
I've started this topic on LauncherPro's forum, but so far no helpful responses. I was wondering maybe some devs here can help and provide the info I'm looking for.
If you guys aren't registered, here is my last post, which will summarize the issue:
LauncherPro provides the ability to invoke it's internal screens and applications directly from within HTC Sense. It installs "Activities" icon under "Shortcuts" menu in HTC Sense.
For example: click "+" on Sense homescreen -> chose "Shortcuts" -> chose "Activities" -> select "LauncherPro" -> select "Preferences". A new yellow icon will be placed on Sense homescreen and clicking on it will open LauncherPro's preferences screen directly from Sense.
I think there is no reason why 3D App Drawer could not be invoked the same way. I don't know Sense & android well enough to know, in which config file homescreen icons/shortcuts are stored, and I dont know what is the exact name of 3D App Drawer in LauncherPro (should be something like com.fede.launcher.appdrawer), but I think if someone provided that information people should be able to manually modify Sense config files to add this shortcut to Sense desktop.

that would be f***ing amazing. Id love to see a 3D app drawer on sense, like the new G2 and nexus one have.

It sounds interesting, maybe is not posible whk knows maybe developers dont really mind the ither one, anyways i think it should be posted on Q&A

I'm looking for this too!
This is exactly what I am looking for as well. While the other replacement launchers come packed with features they lack any of the wonderful Sense UI Widgets (the wonder of contractual commitment). I love Sense but would like the 3d App Launcher. I hope we can find help...

+1 for this. I love sense widgets but would love the 3d launcher

So are you just trying to change the Rosie all together or just the app drawer?
I would love to see the entire Rosie changed to scrollable.

Once I used Launcher Pro for a couple days I removed Sense from my ROM and never looked back. Scrollable Rosie, 3D App Drawer, Faster, Sexier, paid version and Market has widgets to make it look just like Sense if you want....whats not to love?

+1 theres enough widgets to make up for sense.... and u have all the other advantages, and smoothness.

I expect this is totally possible. I don't use sense much but it is very cool to learn that you can call launcher pro activities from sense. I wonder if there is some debugging method that reveals the activity names for when one app wants to talk to another.
I'd say just ask fede on twitter. He is a pretty accessible guy.

while I pretty much completely agree with the rest of your statement, I don't understand what you mean by scrollable rosie. Rosie is the name of the sense launcher.

Ive wanted this since i started rooting/roming my evo, i love stock android 3d app drawer and the phone/apps/internet homescreen layout over sense, but love sense hd n if this becomes possible before or around sense hd completely ported to evo or released officially the ability to incorporate 3d app drwawer to sense would be a great feature
Becuz its really the details that set these phones apart, just depends wut yu like...

maybe it would be possible using Metamorph? that is the only way i would see this working fluently and without much trouble for less experienced users who do not know how to push files etc

After having LauncherPro (both free and now Plus) for some time, I cannot stand Sense anymore. And if you want widgets, just get Beautiful Widgets.

I would love this functionality. I have ADW.launcher because it allows me to use a sense theme with cyanogen mod, but I love launcher pro's app drawer as you can hide apps (ie adblock icon).

Whoever plans on making such posts in this thread - please read the OP.

Is there a way to add home screens to the stock launcher?

Hi Guys.
The stock ICS launcher is superb. However with all the great widgets and folders, its a shame that we have only 5 home screens.
Is it possible to add two more home screens and make it 7 as I think thats the perfect amount.
Im rooted so any tips on how to do this myself and push it to my device or even better if someone has made the adjustments themselves and can share the file.
NOTE: I don't want any other changes to the launcher. I like the constant Google search bar integration and I don't want to remove anything. I just want 7 screens.
Thanks.

Not on stock. You'll have to try a 3rd party launcher. The cyanogen team put out Trebuchet launcher in another xda forum for testing. You can add home screens, even remove the search if you want. Personally it has been running smooth with no issues, but I've read of some people with issues (probably don't have a nexus)

How to add or remove homescreen pages Nexus

Dear all,
I want to learn that how can I add or remove additional homescreen pages from Galaxy Nexus. There is no information about this even google. Before there was an icon for displaying all homescreen pages and you could add or remove new homepages.
Thanks,

What launcher are you using?
If the answer is stock you cannot add or remove pages.

you cant add or remove homescreens on the stock launcher
if you want to do that, you need to install a third-party launcher from the market
I have tried Nova launcher which works pretty well and is based off of the stock ICS launcher

I am using original firmware, not custom rom and it is pure ICS. What do you advice to me for modifying homescreen pages,
Regards,

Since you're bone stock you really only have the option of using another launcher i.e. nova, apex (they use the resources from and function just like the stock launcher with added options) or adw, go, lp+ and many others. If you end up on a deodexed rom then you have the option of editing the "stock" launcher yourself By reading this.
good day.

Thank you very much for your replies and advices, I installed Nova launcher and i can organize them now.
Thanks again.

How is Nova? I'm currently on adw ex and was eyeing the "tsf shell" does Nova live up to the test?

Galaxy S5 Launcher and AccuWeather Widget for non-TW ROMs

I found this link that will allow flashing of the GS5 Touchwiz launcher and Accuweather widget for non-TW Roms. I'm test driving now with SlimKat 4.4.3. Two things to note:
There are separate downloads on separate posts on that thread for the launcher and the weather widget.
I had to use this process to remove the error "Not installed with permissions needed for binding widgets" when trying to put the Aqua Mail counter on my home screen.
Be sure to thank the developers on those sites.

Probably goes without saying, but make sure you do a Nandroid backup before flashing. I saw where one person got stuck in bootloader after flashing.
The one issue I've found is that the menu function doesn't seem to work with this launcher -- can't change number of screens or which one is the home screen...unless I'm missing something.

There is a launcher in play store called Galaxy launcher which is basically what you are talking about. It gives you a lot of customization options and its pretty cool. I have used it for a while and I can say its pretty good.

Yeah, there are a few out there. The one drawback is that the GS5 accuweather widget linked above requires an actual Touchwiz launcher. The S5 launcher above is a little buggy. Some S4 launchers and widgets are available here. The S4 launchers will support the S5 widget.

Friend i could not put in my rom based stock 4.4.2.....you will know why
