Facebook Error – Please update to v0.8.1.1
Oct 20th
I just made a very, very stupid mistake. When I was trying to register Launcher Pro as an app on Facebook, I kept getting an error that the app couldn’t be registered. After about 10 tries, I managed to successfully register it.
Today I went to edit the settings so that the posts would include “via LauncherPro for Android” instead of “via Launcher Pro” and noticed that all those failed registrations actually went through. So I started deleting them, only to accidentally delete the one that LauncherPro is actually using.
That means that the key that LauncherPro uses to access the Facebook API is no longer valid, so your Facebook/Friends widget will stop updating form Facebook.
I’ll be uploading a quick fix update in a few minutes, but it does mean you’ll have to re-authenticate your Facebook credentials by pressing Menu > Preferences > LauncherPro Widgets > Facebook Widget > Facebook Login .
Edit: The update is now in the Android Market. Please update to version 0.8.1.1 and re-authenticate as stated above to keep your widgets updating normally. You can also download the APK file here.
I’m terribly sorry for the inconvenience and hope you can understand.

LauncherPro v0.8.1.0 released
Oct 5th
A rather minor update of LauncherPro is now in the Android Market. Here’s what 0.8.1.0 brings:
- Fixed a bug where selecting Monday as the first day of the week on the Calendar Widget would result in wrong days being marked as busy in the widget.
- New: Bookmarks popup. This new dock popup gives you quick access to your bookmarks. Just like the Bookmarks widget, the popup only works with bookmarks stored on the standard bookmark database in your phone, so if your browser of choice doesn’t use this database, you’ll need to export them to the main database (if your browser has that option) or add them manually into the stock browser.
That’s it for now.

LauncherPro 0.8.0.0 released!
Oct 1st
A new version of LauncherPro is now available to download from the Android Market. Here’s what’s new in 0.8.0.0:
For all users:
- Fixed force close issues when setting the homescreen grid rows/columns to 1.
- Fixed the problem where increasing grid size with auto-fit would make it hard to move items to the bottom right area of the grid.
- Changed folders to always open full-screen regardless of the grid size.
For Plus users only:
- Fixed a force close issue with the Friends widget.
- Fixed the Friends widget not being able to post comments to Facebook.
- Added an option for the Calendar widget to set the week to start on Monday instead of Sunday (after releasing the update, I found a glitch where busy days are marked wrong with this setting on, will be fixed later today in 0.8.0.1).
- New Feature: Dock Popups! A perfect complement for dock notifications and dock swipe actions, the new dock popups give you quick access to information without leaving LauncherPro. In this release I’ve included two popups: Missed Calls, and Unread SMS. More popups will come in future updates.
To enable them, long-press on the desired dock icon, choose “Swipe gesture action”, then “Show Popup…” and choose the popup. Now when you swipe that icon up, you’ll get a popup showing you the selected information.
Both of these popups mark all items as read/viewed when you open them, so they’ll automatically clear the dock notification bubble. You can click on an item (SMS or call) to open it in their respective apps.
That’s it for now.
