I have a problem with the dialer during and after a call. The screen will not return after a call or removing from face. Are there any patches for this problem.

Hi,

I’d have a problem when unlocking the mobile, I just can see the dock, everything else, keeps black, till I change the screen and come and then come back, also when in applications if I change the orientation (portrait or landscape), all icons disappear and just one is visible though looks like that all icons are on top of each other. I have one GS with Android 2.3.4 (Rooted). Apart from those issues I have issue with created folders, some some unknown reason, after some time they stop to work, and I can see the icon, though it doesn’t respond to any touch (just moving it to the trash), but doesn’t open, and to fix it it’s necessary drag it to the bin and create an other folder.
Thanks

Love launcher pro plus… I have a brand new amaze 4g and I still run lpp over the awesome htc sense 3.0

But my comment / question is this… People are getting kind of nasty on the comment section in android market, calling lp and lop “abandon-ware”. A full update would surely shut these people up

Is there any chance that more updates will be coming soon or should all of your lp and lop users start to look elsewhere for home launcher options?

Thanks Fede for all the work you’ve done, hope we see some updates or even a full rewrite soon!

I’m getting a “sh:pm not found” message when trying to install an APK.

Could this be due to the Launcher?

Thanks.

Hello, I love this app and would like to buy it, however I’m having an issue make LaunchPro my default launcher. Everytime I tap my HOME key it reverts back to the basic App Launcher. Also, LaunchPro is not appears in my apps list. If you instruct me how to make “LP” my default launcher the 2.99 is well worth it.. thank

Still experiencing issue with folders not reopening if closed by means other than the “x” or by hitting back. I have an HTC Droid incredible. If the folder is closed when I go to the home screen from an app I have to restart launcher pro for it to work again.

I found one bug. As for dock bar icon setting,castom icon is lost when LP is restarted. If icon is set as shortcut,icon is not lost. However custom icon with only swipe gesture setting (without shortcut setting) is lost by LP restart.
Please confirm,and improve app.
Thanks.

Please start working on this launcher again. Seems like it’s been abandoned. Like a lot of Android developed things after the devs receive donations of some kind.

I love the launcher, and baught it. But would like to express two wishes:
+ Option to lock screens, i.e. not to be able to add/change/remove icons and widgets unless disabling this stting in the preferences. That would help to avoid changes when the children grab my device

+ posibility to change order of screens.

Thank you
Manfred

Defect report. When the goggle search widget of an old version is used, the display of a widget moves to the upper part of a screen from an installation position. It returns to an installation position by screen rotation.

Phone (sh-03c2.2) Android os(2.2)
Goggle search widget (os2.1～)
