LauncherPro Beta v0.5.0 released
A new build of LauncherPro Beta has just been uploaded to the Android market. Here’s what’s new:
- Fixed description of “Opening Speed” preference
- Fixed (hopefully) problem when setting the drawer opening speed to 10
- New LauncherPro-style icons for Google Voice and Camera. More coming soon.
- New 3D app drawer. This feature is EXPERIMENTAL. It probably has some bugs and uses more memory than the 2D drawer, so it might cause some instability. Use at your own risk. To enable it, go to Preferences > Advanced settings > Use 3D drawer.
If you can’t see LauncherPro in the Market, click here or here to download the APK file.
I know the 3D drawer isn’t exactly like the one on the Nexus One. That one uses a private API not available to developers so this is the best I can do until that API is made open to us. Please don’t ask me to make it like the Nexus One drawer.
Watch out for another update in the coming days that will include some more advanced preferences. I know a lot of you like to tweak every little detail and I’m trying my best to accommodate your needs.
As always, head over to our forum to post all your questions, comments, suggestions and bug reports.
See you soon,
Fede

I love the work that you are doing and the launcher is by far the fastest that is on the market today. Keep up the good work.
Just a request is there anyway to start a mailing list so that we can call get e-mails of when there are updates and some information about them.
Thanks,

Holy moly! Do you sleep? That is slick. Fastest 3d app drawer I’ve seen, and frankly, I like the look of it better too! Google should really hire you and scrap their launcher. Thanks for all the great work!

Would Probably be my most favorite Launcher ever if i could find a flashable version….since im a noob.

Amazing work.
One problem on the new version is the weird flipping between screens.. it’s slowwwwww and the elastic scrolling isn’t doing anything checked or unchecked…
besides that, just perfect!

Federico, you have done a wonderful job with this application and today you made my day with the 3D app launcher, which performs better than the Nexus one.
Your launcher runs without any problems on Nexus with froyo.
One suggestion, on the 3D app launcher when scrolling down, it takes some time to spring up to the first raw or icons, maybe reduce the timing there.
Thanks for all your effort.

I have two questions:
1) Why isn’t this the default launcher for every single android phone ever made?
2) Where is your donate button?
Awesome work mate, keep it up!
about 2 years ago
Excellent work, thank you! I would pay for this!
The only slight problem is that when tapping on Widgets you don’t get the same zoom animation.
Other than that it’s perfect.

I second that… I would donate in a second. This is the best launcher app that I have used so far. I am very happy with this and appreciate all your work. Great job!

This launcher keeps amazing me with every version. I am glad that it isn’t a paid application since I live in Denmark where we don’t have access to paid apps.
I would gladly donate if there was a donate button though.

I love it. Thanks man! Keep up the great work!

Good Lord! Where do you find the time to do all of this work? I LOVE the 3D app drawer. I didn’t think it was possible to have one without a bit of lag, but I get none at all. This launcher combined with my Moto Droid running Bugless Beast V 0.1 (Android 2.2) at 1.2Ghz is a match made in heaven. If I ever meet you in person, I owe you a kiss on the mouth

Hey, I really love your Launcher, definitely the best one out there, should be default!
I have a suggestion for the 3D drawer (which is great, by the way):
You could add an option to make it as a 4×4 “cube” (keep the shape you have, not really a cube, but works better). But when you swipe, all the 16 apps (4×4) on the face of the cube would switch, showing another 16 apps. It would make it a lot easier to know where specific apps are. I know I explained that terribly, but I think you’ll understand! ^^

Rate at which this app is being updates is simply amazing!! Best launcher on Android. Would be perfect if it’d have notification icons for phone, sms and mail (k-9)…

This 3D drawer is better than the original 3D drawer of my N1.
about 2 years ago
Hey man no need to do the same drawer of the N1, that thing is bad because you can t scroll to the bottom in one stroke, keep up the good work!

The launcher is awesome, definitely the best app out there, you are doing great job. I really appreciate everything. My only question is why are you not charging for this app? its a gold mine. Keep up the good work.
about 2 years ago
The thing that shows all the screens at once moves too slowly now. I liked when it was lightning quick.

Nice job.. The 3D app drawer is amazingly smooth.

Best launcher hands down.
Still waiting for the donate button though …
