LauncherPro Beta v0.1.2 on Android Market now!
Thanks for all the suggestions and bug reports so far!
Version 0.1.2 is ready to test, here is what’s new:
- Fixed interactivity with Live Wallpapers (I still hate those things, but oh well)
- Fixed the bug where pressing the home button after opening the SMS app triggered the screen previews
- New feature: You can now do a pinch gesture to bring up the screen previews! Simply pinch the screen and the previews will appear. Your phone must support multi-touch in order for this to work. The sensitivity of the gesture might need some tweaking, please let me know how it’s working for you in the comments.
That’s it for now. I’m still trying to figure out the best way to implement custom shortcuts on the bottom bar. Also, here’s a couple of things coming soon to LauncherPro:
- On-screen button to go from the app drawer back to the home screen
- Automatic landscape mode rotation for phones that don’t have a physical keyboard
- Customizable shortcuts on bottom bar
Anyway, keep the suggestions and bug reports coming!

Great application! Very fast and smooth, good work!
Only one suggestion, you said the following would be implemented:
-> On-screen button to go from the app drawer back to the home screen
My Galaxy Spica has an 480×320 resolution, and with the current app drawer I can see more icons then when the bottom row is used for a back button. So could you make it optional to have a back button on the appdrawer? (e.g. enable/disable it in the prefs.)

GREAT launcher! The only issue I’ve had is that my notification bar is no longer transparent (I am using Bugless Beast Smoked Glass). Any chance this can be fixed?
Thanks!

Hello. Great work. Almost perfect Launcer
You can create in “Proggram” menu possibility change from 4 to 5 columns?
Thank you for answer

It’s not part of the launcher. That’s a separate widget. I would hope the program stays lean and lets the user add whatever they want.

Hi Federico,
Great lightweight speedy launcher. It is getting noticed exponentially on the Droid Forum, and all the chit-chat is highly favorable. You probably knew that, but I wanted to add my gratitude to the list.
Not a suggestion, but rather a question…..
Do you plan on adding more themes to the package, besides the colored dots? Be nice to have a 6-8 theme selection, as long as it doesn’t slow your baby down!
Thx

Love this Launcher! Please don’t succumb to “Creeping Featuritis”. Keep it lean an fast. You are working on my only request (customizable shortcuts), so just keep doing what you’re doing. Also, put up a donate button and I’ll definitely send you a little paypal cash.

I have a Moto Droid, and love this app. This is what it should of beem released with for home screen.
As the Dev said, I think the pinch to multi screen needs to be tweaked. It seems not only do I have to press hard to get it to function, even then it’s not working everytime.
Love it !!! Keep up the good work, And Thank you for making the Droid even better.

This app has changed my Android experience completely. I have the Samsung Moment, just installed 2.1 on it, and LauncherPro is magnificent… yes, like everybody else, I’d love to customize the bottom row… you are the man, and I would absolutely 100% pay up for this. Thanks a million!

Actually, come to think of it, I like the browser and dialer shortcuts (others may not)… I definitely want to be able to put the Music Player instead of the Messaging icon… and hmm… actually, given that I’d like one to be a Taskkiller app I have, and another to be, say, a Notepad app… maybe you could cram 3 in on either side of the central icon? Crazy, I know, but… hey… you know people would use ‘em!
Thanks again!

Realy nice homescreen. Been using it for a while now. It would be nice with more customization, like the sms button when not using the standard message app. Can’t wait for an update

How do I change my dault launcher back to launcerhprobeta? I downloaded the update launcherprobeta this morning and my droid asked me what default program I wanted to use: home or launcher pro? I clicked the box and accidentally hit home in error. Now my phone is not using launcher pro. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled. I go to setting, manage apps, launcher pro and all that lights up is uninstall or force stop. I’ve tried force stop and it does nothing. So I don’t know what else to do to get it to use launcher pro. Please send me instructions to use launcher pro for my running system.

I have the same question as above??

I absolutely love this app and would be willing to pay for it…the ony question/quirk I have is that the bottom “Dock” doesn’t rotate to the bottom on my Moto Droid. I checked all the settings and didn’t see one to enable this. so posting hoping it gets fixed. I apologize now if its already been posted…it just looks weird when everything else is in landscape and its not.

This is an interesting post. I would love to get this app, but I need to know if there is a way to change back to the default launcher?

This is an awesome home screen!!!! I use it on my Droid Incredible and it works like a charm! I love the complete customization options that it offers too! Will definitely be using this app for years to come and for all my Droids!

Hi there Federico! This is such an awesome application. I specially love the new feature in which I can bring up screen previews with the pinch gesture. I look forward to the automatic landscape mode rotation feature you’ll be making soon. Thanks!

This is great android application and it works without any problem on my HTC. There are many customization options and it’s pretty easy to use.
Thank you,

I am very glad for this update. Now the pinch expose works and isn’t redundant with just pressing the home key once. thanks for the information.

Another great Android application, I too have HTC and have no compatibility issues whatsoever and the new pinch screen feature for previewing is an awesome tool. Thanks for the information.
