By the time this gets updated ICS will be replaced by Android version 12. I paid for this launcher twice. Was worth the money back then, but I've seen no updates and no bug fixes. No support either. Dev cashed in and abandoned the project.

Been on the lookout for this, not available from here nor the Android Market. Currently using Go Launcher Ex which is great, but I want LP so I can purchase more icon packs. Devs please make this available here.

Use it as standard. Love the docks and have made my own icons. Sometimes lags a little but is mainly excellent. There is an HTC sense like weather app you can buy to give the best bit of sense and a friends widget but I don't feel the weather is very accurate as its a US app. Its very customisable though and the main reason I bought it was to get rid of the stupid home dock that came with HTC Desire sense. Now my phone is more like my Mac's OS so I love it. It's more Mac like than the iPhone in my opinion and i've used Mac's for 12 years now.

Back in May when I 1st discovered AndroidPIT for myself via the Google Android Market, I complained about all the tested reports about Home Replacement apps.. Basicly because I really liked how well the Sense UI worked from HTC on my Droid Eris device, and at that time none of the Home Replacement app lived up to HTC's until I discovered LauncherPro for myself.

I must say, "NICE"! Even the Test write up doesn't do it justice.

One of my favorite features is that you can hide un-needed apps from even showing up in the app drawer
(like widget apps that you would never click on anyway or bloatware apps that you would never use like Amazon MP3 etc).

Then next I grabbed Beautiful Widgets for the Clock/Weather widget!

LP plus était très bien l'année dernière Fonctionne bien sous Gingerbread... mais plus de mise à jour depuis plus d'un an, ne supporte pas les systèmes récents (3 versions de retard en comptant Jelly Bean): ne dépensez surtout pas d'argent pour la version payante (que j'ai payé) : c'est pareil IL N'Y A PLUS DE MISES A JOUR !

Waste of money This is, to say the least, a complete waste of money. It is unstable and crashes constantly - and some of the widgets (such as the LauncherPro calendar widget) are a complete nightmare and send you into an almost unbreakable vicious circle, where the widgets cause LauncherPro to crash before you even have time to access the widget and remove it. Save your money - this product isn't even fit for beta, delivers negligible additional functionality over the free product and is such a complete nightmare that renders your Android phone next to useless.

Great App, but... It's the fastest launcher app I've tested so far. It's really neat, but there's a bug that keeps making the launcher crash almost every time I switch between the first-last home screens when the looping is set to "Real". No problems with the "Virtual (bounce)" option so far...

Summary

Okay, so I wasn’t planning on writing another homescreen replacement app review today, but LauncherPro recently got an update and thus new features. It isn’t without just cause that LauncherPro’s popularity is steadily increasing, and seeing as I’ve been meaning to review this app for a while I thought today would be the day to do so.

Features & Use

Section rating:

Here's the Market description of LauncherPro’s features:

• Super-smooth scrolling
• Animated screen previews (like Exposé or HTC Sense)
• Up to 7 home screens
• App drawer (2D and 3D!) with a fly-in effect and smooth scrolling
• Scrollable shortcut dock

“Super-smooth scrolling”... for sure! The app’s perfomance is stellar.

The “Animated screen preview” is also a really useful feature which can be accessed by pulling your fingers together on the screen.

There are other homescreen replacements out there that provide more than seven screens, but the ones featured in this app are more than sufficient in size.

The app performs very well indeed on the Nexus One, even in 3D mode.

My favorite feature is the “Scrollable shortcut dock”. You can put up to 15 shortcuts into the lower half of the screen and access them via sliding from within every screen (5 are visible at once). You can insert applications, links or an extra button for the App Drawer.

Another useful feature that shouldn’t go without mention is the fact that you can de-install apps simply by pulling them onto the recycle bin, waiting for two seconds and then letting them go.

LauncherPro is not only compatible with Live-Wallpaper but also with scrollable widgets.

Probably the most important aspect of a homescreen replacement is its performance, without which even the coolest features are pretty useless. If the homescreen is lagging it’s a no-go. LauncherPro on the other hand performs very well and has cool features. Not bad!

Screen & Controls

Section rating:

As is usually the case with homescreen replacements, after having installed LauncherPro it can be launched by pressing the home button or else set is as your standard.

The shortcut dock in the lower half of the screen is already set up with links, but they can be changed by pressing on them for a long time. You can set up further shortcuts by scrolling through the dock to the left and pressing on the plus sign. You then have the option of choosing the following from a context menu:

• Blank
• Applications
• Homescreens
• App Drawer

You can also select from all the options available to you on your phone by pressing homescreen/links for a long time.

You can view the screen-preview by clicking on the Home button twice or by pulling your fingers together on the display.

In order to change further settings, click on the Menu button followed by Preferences. You can then select the amount of screens you’d like as well as your default screen. You also have the following options:

• Auto-Rotation on/off
• Scrollable Widgets on/off
• Select Dock Backround
• Screen Indicator on/off
• Show/hide app icons
• Wallpaper Scrolling on/off

You can switch on the pimped out 3D App Drawer in Advanced Settings. I didn’t encounter any problems with this on the Nexus One, despite the warning message “Experimental. May cause instability“. You can also determine the amount of lines for "Portrait“ and "Landscape".

There’s also the option of displaying five rows of icons on the homescreen, although you are warned that “Requires widescreen, and looks bad in landscape”, which is, in fact, the case. If you want to take advantage of these features switch off “Enable Auto-Rotation” in Settings.

Lastly, you can determine the scrolling and opening speed for “Homescreen”, “App Drawer”, and “Screen Previews”.

Bottom line:
LauncherPro will not be replacing by current ADW.Launcher—this is because I’ve gotten too used to this “Galaxy S” style app. However, if and when LauncherPro offer that feature I will have switch over, as the app really does perform well and the shortcut dock is a super useful feature.
