LauncherPro v0.7.5.1 released!
A new build of LauncherPro has just hit the Android Market. Here’s what’s new:
For all users:
- Fixed a bug where changing the icon on the default dock shortcuts would revert back to the default icon after restarting LauncherPro (this didn’t happen when you changed the shortcut too).
- Fixed the menu button not responding after using the trackball or a hardware arrow key.
- Fixed a bug in the 3rd party scrollable widgets code that would cause the widget to be accidentally lifted while scrolling it.
- Changed the loading mechanism for the new “Activities” shortcut feature, since it wasn’t loading on some phones due to the amount of data on the list. It should load on all phones now. If you have a lot of apps installed, it might take a couple of minutes for the list to load.
- Set dock shortcuts to ignore swipes when they have no swipe gesture action set.
For Plus users only:
- Brought back the daily updating of the calendar widget to keep it up to date. I’ve tested the memory usage when using this and the previous memory leaks are fixed.
- New Messaging widget!. The fourth widget in the LauncherPro Plus series brings your SMS messages right to your homescreens. There are two styles to choose from, a card view that shows one message at a time, and a list view that shows all your messages in a list. Since widgets are now resizable, there’s only one pre-set size for each style, you can resize them to your liking. After you’re done resizing a widget, press the “Back” button on your phone to save the changes and go back to the launcher (just repeating this because I saw a lot of people complaining about their phone being “frozen” after resizing a widget).
In the card mode, you can scroll vertically through your messages. There’s buttons to reply and delete any message, and you can click the sender’s photo to bring out their QuickContact popup (on phones that have this functionality, otherwise it will open their contact card). In list mode, you can reply to any message by clicking on it. To delete a message or mark it as read, long-press on it and choose the desired option from the menu. You can also click on the sender’s photo to bring up their QuickContact popup (again, only on phones that support it). Clicking on the “Messaging” title should open your default messaging application. There’s two additional buttons, one for marking all messages as read (the button with the checkmark) and the other to compose a new message (it should create and open a blank message on your default messaging application). - Edit: 0.7.5.1 fixes a bug in 0.7.5.0 where moving the new Messaging widget would cause it to stop automatically updating until either the screen was rotated or LauncherPro was restarted.

This is the first widget I don’t really like …. You have to hit the refresh button for any new messages to appear in the list.
Whats the point of being able to see all my recent messages if I don’t automatically see the new ones?
Rinke-Jan:
August 13th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Hm this makes friday the 13th a whole lot better!
Thank you!!
Federico:

The widget will refresh automatically whenever a new sms comes in.

Works like a charm.

Great work as usual!!
ToNe:

i wish that the sms widget would show the newest sms from a contact only and u click on that person to see the whole conversation … now i have to scroll past 10 messages to get to another contacts sms messages…

Keep up the good work!

I am unable to remove the widget as I have no SMS messages saved. The widget is blank.

Federico, great work on developing and fixing things so fast. One thing that still bothers me (and I haven’t seen a fix, but it may exist!) is resizing of the stock contact widgets on my Droid X. After restarting the phone, they resize to an odd format. How do we get it to stick to what we want?
Bryan:
August 13th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
If I want to put Calendar and Messaging widget on my Home Screen, I put one of them. And try to add another, it tells me HomeScreen no space. Even if I resize one to the smallest and try add another, still not possible. What should I do?
Jeremy:
August 13th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
this just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work (+ user)
Texter:
August 13th, 2010 at 5:41 pm
for the calendar you need a full page of screen estate, just add a page, resize it and move to the desired page with the correct sized messaging widget waiting (or other way round)
greetings

Thanks!

Nice update, thanks for the activities fix. Bryan, try adding the second widget to a larger screen. Resize it and drag it over to the screen with the other widget
James:
August 13th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
Would like to see an open where pressing the home button would reset the dock as well as the main screen back to home. Would need the ability to select default (home) dock screen.
Bryan:
August 13th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
I didn’t know I can move widget from screen to screen =X
Bryan:
August 13th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
I know this has nothing to do with LP Calendar problem, but anyone knows why my calendar events are appearing twice? Like “Bryan Birthday” and “Bryan Birthday” on the same day. I checked my Google Calendar but it shows 1 only.
Patrik:
August 13th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
Nice work! Just bought the Plus version and I like it, it just take some time to get use to new widgets
Jep:
August 13th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Wow, you’re good.
Maybe HTC or someone else will buy your work for a forthcoming phone…
Just need an RSSwidget and a Friendfeed. Then u can retire…:)
(There might be a bug, if u accidently resize the card widget to 4×1. Then I happen to show up blank sometimes – and it is impossible to delete it. I had to check an app in the hiddenapps configuration, to relaunch Launcherpro. )
By the way – if u could make us able to format the images on the Activities menu – then we would never need BetterCut (good for app packs – and later remake icons) – and Desktop Visualizer (good – but can only use their own ugly icon packs – and cant remake – if I decide to use a different icon . – have to start all over)…
Just some thoughts…

Lovely app. Was happy with Sense until I tried this one.
Now happy user of paid version. If you’re looking for new projects to tackle, I still haven’t found a good email widget. Pure just don’t cut it.

GREAT UPDATE! You do realize, everytime you add something like this, it replaces like 3 of my other apps that i didn’t even like to begin with, thereby freeing up ram, rom, space, whatever on my Droid X!
It gives me great pleasure to uninstall my now useless other apps! hee
THANKSSSS

Pido disculpas por no escribir en inglés.
Estoy muy contento con la aplicación. Merece la pena pagar por la versión PLUS, el trabajo se lo merece.
Sólo le encuentro un pequeño fallo: que el calendario no tenga la opción de comenzar la semana el lunes, que es lo habitual en muchos países europeos.
Carol:
August 13th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
How do you move a widget from one screen to another?? That is great but I have no idea how to do that. Thanks for the help.
Icculus760:
August 13th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
AWESOME!!
I’VE BEEN WAITING A WHOLE WEEK FOR THIS UPDATE!!
Not that 1 week is a long time for an update, but I remember the good old beta days of multiple updates in a week. Every time I open the marketplace and look at my downloads, I always hope there’s a new LP/LP+ update. It’s always a great day when there is one.
Again – 1 week is NOT a long time for an update. I just love this app so much I can hardly wait for each new version.
MANY THANKS TO FEDERICO & GROUP
Icculus760:
August 13th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
I suggest searching the forums and if you don’t find a thread, start a new one. You’re probably not going to get anywhere posting it here…as the last line of every update states:

So fantastic. Activities work now on my Droid X. I love being able to TOUCH my mail launcher icon to open gmail and SWIPE it to compose a message.
I paid $3 for this but would pay 10 times that. I hope you are handsomely rewarded for your time in development.

QUICK REPLY! this app is amazing and the messaging widgets are awesome! but i use pure messenger widget which has quick reply so i dont have to open up my messaging app. i can reply right there on the homescreen. Just wondering if that could be done lol. THANKS!
Brittani:
August 13th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
For those of you also having problems with the sms widget being blank and unable to remove it, did anyone figure out how to get it removed?
Rick:
August 13th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Wow! This is a great app. I paid for PLUS version and now I’m starting to feel guilty for not paying for all these great new features. Must be a holdover from my Palm days when a new release meant at least a $10 upgrade fee.
Seriously, I have never seen another app provide such incredible support and continued updates and new features.
I love my Android and it’s exciting to regularly discover new ways to use it, but LauncherPro provides even more excitement knowing that new features and widgets could be just around the corner every day.
Thanks for setting such a high standard for the Android community!

Hi! Great update. Would love to be able to move the home screens around like on the Galaxy S. ALSO, MAJOR BUG: I cannot remove the Messaging widget… I have no messages (use Google Voice). It wont let recognize a long press at all…

Bookmark activity shortcut is still not functioning properly on N1. It brings up the bookmark page, but doesn’t load webpages when I click on one of them. I am pretty sure that it is not designed only to show the bookmarks without being able to actually go to websites from there. Is this one of those activities that won’t work with activity shortcuts? anyoneg else having the problem with froyoed N1s?
Cindy:

You need to make sure that you protect your work. This is an awesome app!!! I bought the pro version. I would hate to see someone rip off all the work you have put into this.
Taylor:
August 13th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
I hate to try to suggest the obvious, but it’s my only suggestion: are you long pressing the widget body or the widget title? The only long press that will work is on the widget’s title
Brandon:
August 13th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
Great work Fed! Definitely one of the best Devs out there. For sure the sickest launcher/home app. $2.99 for LP+ seems like we’re doing you an injustice!
Dipset:
August 13th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
long press the top of the widget, same as any of the other launcherpro widgets. since they are all scrollable, you can not long press just anywhere.
if you are using the smaller messaging widget, long press where the name is. if you are using the larger widget, long press where it says messaging.
Dipset:
August 13th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
awesome update, been waiting for this widget for awhile. also would like to see a clock/weather widget too!!
the messaging widget is awesome, but if you can make it so that it groups together the text messages by name, it would make it even better. such as, it lists every contact out that texted you, and when you click on that persons name, it would bring up the text convo.
Maxy:
August 13th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
Fed,
When I try to add the Messaging widget on 5th screen which is BLANK, the widget shows up on 2nd screen and over the apps on that screen. And moreoever i got 2 different styles of Messaging widget on 2nd screen which already had other widgets below it.
This is a big bug! Why am I not able to add it to empty screen?
Manuel:
August 13th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
Love the update! LauncherPro is awesome. I was wondering if it’s possible to include white versions of all the LauncherPro widgets and maybe a music widget as someone has already mentioned!
Francois:
August 13th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
First thought:
– Awesome app!
Messaging widget:
- Much needed widget… Thank you but… It needs some more options
Suggestion:
- The card messaging widget needs a quick response option that pops up on screen instead of opening the default messaging app. (See the “messaging widgets” app in the market for an example of a functioning ‘ quick response’ example)
Conclusion:
- I like the messaging widget idea so far, but I’m sticking with the ‘messaging widget’ app for now.
I’m still a Big fan of launcher pro plus though!

ayman:

There’s no possible way to make this messaging widget work with google voice? I’ll give full permission to my gmail account if necessary. Please try to figure it out. Good job tho.
fractalbit:
August 13th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Hold the widget to the edge of a screen for a moment until it scrolls to the new screen then drop it

I’m fairly new to android phones, but I can say that your launcher is vastly better than the stock one that came on my droid x. Keep up the great work.
I have one question. I never paid much attention to the”activities”tab. Is it just another method for installing shortcuts?
TheeDon:
August 13th, 2010 at 11:49 pm
New widget wasn’t that WOW! If you have handcent SMS it has it covered.
Eric:
August 14th, 2010 at 12:12 am
Could you put twitter message to the messaging widget also? Eric
Brian:
August 14th, 2010 at 12:15 am
Amazing. Was on the fence about purchasing before the messaging widget, but just pulled the trigger.
Great work and I look forward what is to come.
Joshua:
August 14th, 2010 at 12:24 am
Have one question. Is there a setting or way to have the card widget clear all the messages once I delete them. I deleted all my conversations and they were all still in the widget…
Benny Evangelista:
August 14th, 2010 at 1:02 am
I really like launcher pro….I’m not so interested in widgets but I’ll buy the full version if only Federico will implement horizontal drawer with pages, just like Touch Wizard 3.0 and iPhone
bye!

Phone screens are small so stop wasting so much space for the refresh button and the top menu bar!! Is a menu bar even necessary? We can tell its the calendar widget or the message widget or the people widget without a title bar saying so!
someone back me up on this

Anyway to have the messaging widget open Handcent insteap of the standard messaging app? When clicking “Messaging” title it opens up the standard messaging app, but when I click a message it gave me the option to open handcent

I posted a reply to another comment above – the messaging widget is broken on galaxy s. After adding the small version I only get a white 2×4 block. Even worse the widget can not be removed at all from this state. Please fix asap!
The Galaxy S here does not come with stock msging app – so this may have been the issue (M110S uses a custom sms app)
David:
August 14th, 2010 at 3:21 am
Federico, I love this app. Got the plus version too. Here’s an idea for landscape mode, (if possible); the capability to lay out widgets and apps differently than how the appear in portrait mode. That way everything doesn’t appear squished. For instance, I have my calender widget at the top in portrait mode, but it would be sweet if it could be at the left side in landscape mode.
Thanks for a great app!
Paul Beare:

Hi, awesome app, It’d also like the option of making google voice the default messaging program for your widget.
Unk:
August 14th, 2010 at 4:29 am
I love it. Only thing I would like is Google Voice integration with the Messaging Widget, but if the API isn’t there, there’s nothing you can do about that.
matthew:
August 14th, 2010 at 5:19 am
Nice update. Except you can’t adjust what you view in the messaging widget. I want to see them as threads. Not a list of every single message. Group by contact! List gets to be too long and unorganized if you do a lot of texting. Advice, swipe up and down to change contact and once on a contact swipe left and right to go through the threaded messages between you and that person. Invent a widget like that and you’ll be way ahead of the game. Love your work so far.

Fede, I love this app. and the new widget. Got the plus version too on my Hero…
Why not take the refresh button and move it up to the titlebar and let the down bar dissapear. Some people say they need more place.
I´m really looking forward to se next widget. Love your work so far.

I have to say, I am a huge fan of this launcher. I am new to android and this is my favorite app by far. This widgit was the ONLY reason I even CONSIDERED going to sense, but with this messenging wisgit you have officially brought all the pro’s of sense’s UI to your already awesome build. Thank you for sharing your talent with the android community for such a reasonable price. Shhhhhhhshhh, I would easaly pay $5-$10 for this app.
MrFox:

musa:

I don’t get why people are complaining about the title bars?? They are useful as you can open the designated app by pressing it. Perhaps you can incorporate a refresh button into the side of the title bar instead.

Alex:
August 14th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
Federico, keep up the good work, we all appreciate it. The only suggestion I have for the large messaging widget (it may even be a personal preference) is that it should show the latest text from each person instead of the latest texts in general. So it sorta looks like the stock sms app, I guess? I think it would be more useful this way. Anyway, keep up the good work, can’t wait for the next update!

Suggestion for new Messaging widget,
On the Icon that shows one message at a time
Or possible 3- type of Icon
Be able to scroll thru message CONTACTS
On the Icon that shows ALL messages
Allow deletion of messages
I believe this APP is one of the GREATEST in/on the market
Kudos – Great – Keep up the good work.
James:
August 14th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
I’ve enjoyed using this launcher. Unfortunately, my Samsung Captivate appears to have considerable issues with the android.process.acore task. Typically, Android System Info will show duplicates of this process running at 100% CPU usage for significant periods of time. (Say 50-80%). Extreme battery drain and inability for the phone to respond to tasks in a timely fashion. Tried many things to correct, but it only went away when I uninstalled LuancerPro. I’d love to switch back and I’d very likely donate to the plus version.
ben:

I am loving all the updates and pro Widgets! Is there any chance that the messaging widget will support Facebook and twitter at some point? Would be nice to remove all the pure Widgets!

Is this to make your android phone to where it has widgets like the HTC models? Anyone else have an HTC Android phone that is using this?? Any differences?
Chuck:
August 14th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Send yourself a text message. When there is a message in the widget, you can then resize it, move it, or delete it. Fede says he’ll fix the empty Messaging widget in the next update.
Antony:
August 14th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
Thanks for providing improvements through each update. I have been using Launcher Pro as my default home app on my samsung captivate. I don’t use the touchwiz launcher at all. Only time i have to use touchwiz is to use the MTP application to sync my device with apps like Samsung Kies and MediaMonkey. Can you please provide an update where we can sync the device on LauncherPro mode with pc. Don’t know if it is possible. I am not that tech savvy. I tried using mass storage mode (after unmounting the sd card and also on mounted mode), PC connection and all other setings but it is not working. It is not an issue that i am complaining about. It would be really great to have this feature. With the support you already have on the market place,this feature will make touchwiz go out of use. Just my thought. Also, i noticed that you have given messaging as an option in the launcherpro widgets. It will be nice to see weather and clock,social network widgets for pro plus users. Thanks for providing us with this awesome app.

I love LP. I will say tough that I tried the new Message widget just to see what it looked like and it just brought up a 3×3 white square that I could not remove. I had to restore LP. Not a biggy just thought you should be aware of a potential problem.
Scott:
August 14th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
Since the Widgets are resizable, how can you get two on one home screen? On my Droid it always says it can’t add a new widget because there is no room. I know I can drag a resized widget to another page, add a new widget, resize, and then finally drag the original widget back. It would be better if the default was smaller, 1 x 4 or something similar.
Craig:
August 14th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
I like to have the calendar in month view on one of my home screens. Unfortunately, when I go to add a new event I always have to set the date. Is it possible to long press on a date and be given the option to add an event on that date?
By the way, love the app. I have convinced several people to buy it once they see it on my Droid X.
Luca:

Great update man… one thing… any chance to make the widget able to show google voice instead? I never use my built in phone number, and so never send/receive texts to it… just a thought…

This is a small bug. You may send one sms test message to your n1 and then you may remove it with long press.

All this needs is transparent drawer with horizontal drawer and all opening drawer effects and will beat adw launcher and be perfect.

Okay people, I found a solution to the blank white messaging Widgets. If you are experiencing the small messaging Widgets being white and you can’t move or drag it to delete it. What I did was turn your phone sideways to view the screen in landscape mode, then longpres the white blank messaging widgets on the bottom right somewhere (the place may be different for others) you’ll feel the phone lite vibrate, to where you can drag to move it – just drag it to the far right to put it in the trash.
I hope this solution works. I have a Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S phone.

For all samsung galaxy s and variant users you can still use Launcher pro and kies together as long as when you install Launcher Pro, you make neither Launchers default when asked. That way you can switch between Launchers by pressing “back button” and “home”. Sometimes fiddly but it works fine until the developer can work on a solution.

so what am i doing wrong – my droid x and the people widget is not working as advertised. i add the widget to my screen and first i get a bunch of generic faces and all contacts in my address book have pics. next when i click on one or click and hold i get pushed to the detailed contact in my address book. all screenshots that i have see tend to show a contextual type menu for text, phone, email – the other features are nice but they are all included in the free version – why did i pay for this if people doesnt work – any suggestions?

Please take over Facebook and Twitter widgets.
The newly introduced messaging widget is beautifully done. I like the vertical scrolling mode. It is very useful. I hope someday you take over the default Facebook and twitter widgets with vertical scrolling as they are done horribly today.

Just paid for the Pro plus version last night and the additional widgets are great so far. However, when I deleted a message in the Messaging widget, it still appeared in the Messaging App. Please review and fix this feature… It would be nice to have everything in sync.

Just wanted to say that Launcher Pro is the best home screen launcher ever made!
Quick question…
Is there a option to turn off the landscape feature on Launcher Pro?
Only time I really use it is when I’m using Handcent, most of the time I use it in portrait mode which I personally prefer.
Any help would be appreciated.

that menu isn’t included on the droid x, at least im like 90 percent sure it isn’t. well, in addition to the people widget, you get the calendar, messaging and bookmark widgets. with more to come. not to mention its always good to support a dev that works so hard to make the product as good as possible.

Raj S:

Yes it is possible.
Preferences -> Behavior Settings -> [Enable Auto-Rotation]
Un-check the “[Enable Auto-Rotation]” Check box and there you go.
flaim:
August 16th, 2010 at 8:05 am
Yes, that is the only solution for now to connect the phone to the PC so the removable storage is seen..you have to switch to twLauncher – a bit annoying.
Anyway there are more bugs on the Galaxy S with Launcher Pro Plus – the bookmark and people widgets force close when you press anything in them …
…the new Messaging widget however, works great !
Cheers!

Does anyone know how to get peoples pictures to come up on the people widget if I sync it with facebook? Also when I refresh the widget it doesn’t include the new starred contacts that I want to be included. On the messeging widget the name also doesn’t come up if the contact is from facebook only the number comes up. Anyone know how to fix this?

Currently on 2.2 for Droid FRG01B
Kernel 2.6.32.9-g103d848
Accidentally chose regular Launcher as default. LauncherPro app went hidden and could not run. Had to do full reinstall and enter upgrade key.
I installed HomeSwitcher and was able to run LauncherPro
Current bugs I’m experiencing
1. Home button on phone returns to regular launcher every time from any app. Have to use Home Switcher each time. ;(
2. Stock App: Alarm has gone missing (I haven’t checked to see if any other apps have disappeared).
3. When I’m in Preferences main menu and any submenu and perform a rotation, I’m taken back to the main menu.
4. Appearance Settings>Show Screen Indicator – not displaying which screen I’m on.

Katheryne:
August 16th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Hi,
I have droid 1 with 2.1 and launcher pro plus.
I just added the people widget. I want to change it’s style or delete and it’s not allowing me. I can’t resize it either. Tried long press, preference and settings. No options to delete, or change the People widget.
Also on LP widget settings, it does list a setting for “people” could this be the problem?
Only has it for Messaging, calender and bookmarks.
Any ideas?
Katheryne:
August 16th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
Update, Meant to say: It does NOT list setting for People.

I love this launcher its great. but I am having trouble with the people widget. i went into contacts and added pictures to each person (i know it will not sync with Facebook) and it worked well enough. but then about 80 percent of the avatars disappeared from the widget. they were all the same file type and added manually NOT from FB. anyone know why this is happening?
thanks

Loving LauncherPro Plus, especially the newly featured widgets. Just a question to those out there, I may have missed it in the comments, but I’ve noticed with the Messages Widget that every time a unique contact messages me for the first time, the widget asks what application I want to use. I’ve tried checking the box for use as default, but it only seems to default for that contact, not globally. Any ideas?

Hunter:

1. Last I remember, Home Switcher lets you set the default. Though this may not work as Home Switcher doesn’t support 2.2. If you install any other launcher or reinstall Launcherpro, the system will prompt you to choose which you want to use as a default.
2. 2.2 got rid of the alarm app. Now it is just called Clock.
4. The screen indicator shows up only when you scroll through screens

On the Droid/Milestone the Calendar only shows 1 day of Multiday-events.
E.g. if I enter “vacation” from Monday to Friday, it will only show up on monday. Is that a bug or a feature … maybe it can be changed anywhere I haven’t found, yet?

Hold down the contact shortcut on the launcher and just swap it for the contact application. then swap the icon back to launcherpro’s contact icon.

Any chance you will support moto widgets in the near future? I prefer the look and feel of the Contact Quick Task moto widget over your People Widget. I’d buy LauncherPro Plus if the moto widgets worked because then LauncherPro would be my only launcher. Until then, I have stopped using it.

The Moto contacts widget DOES work in LaunderPro now, you just have to resize it and then choose what you want the quick task to be. I have all of mine set to 1×1 widgets that bring up a contact’s details and it works great, just like in the stock launcher.
Ryan:

Would it be possible to amplify the calendar widget with support for displaying third party app notes/agenda items? For example, I used to use Pure Calendar widget, which had an option to pull in my notes from Astrid Task Manager. It would display these in my Calendar Agenda View and keep them at the top above the day, so that they were always at the forefront.
Thanks so much for the great design aesthetic on these widgets, the Android Market was seriously lacking such quality. Well done!
Mike:
August 25th, 2010 at 5:03 am
A note widget and weather widget with the same high quality gui and crystal background as the other pro plus widgets would be awesome. Great app, worth way more than the few dollars it cost for the upgrade.

I desperately want to remove the messaging widget from my screen, so how do I do that?
