Can LauncherPro get any more awesome?

it might of been the apps because it's running perfectly fine now.
I like it the only thing I wish was a way to change the icons which I'm sure there is I just haven't fully grasped it yet. Also are there any more docks that we can download?
This phone is becoming more like my PC each and every day, now only if I could run Steam I'd throw my computer away :o

fyi, download fancy widget if you want the HTC sense clock/weather widget on the homescreen. It is awesome.

Except with the latest update, the current city no longer shows, just the weather. There Is something about Htc not allowing something within Fancy Widgets. I bet this was the nature. Really annoying. Wish I hadn't updated.

I'm not sure that I understand you're comment here . . .
When you say "change the app drawer icon", I read that you want to change the default icon for bringing up your apps from the bottom dock . . .
Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding something, but while I was adding & changing the other icons in the dock, I changed the app drawer one to a custom image just like the rest of the icons.
Is that all you're trying to do or did I miss it completely?

He is trying to do that but when he has in the past he gets forced closes. So, to save the annoyance, he is back to the regular icon.

Gotcha, thx for the clarification, that makes sense . . .
Have you tried temporarily adjusting the "Keep in memory" and "Memory usage" settings, change the icon, then change the settings back?
Have you tried a variety of different images?
 
Yep. Tried with the memory options, it doesn't matter what icon I pick or what I'm trying to put in the dock. It's one reason I ended up buying FolderOrganizer.
 
ummmm???
The only other thing I can think of is that there might be a conflict with something else you have running in the background . . . have you tried going to Settings->Applications->Running services & stop anything that shouldn't be in use (and possibly creating the conflict)?

This may have already been asked, but I just started using LauncherPro and don't feel like digging through all of the back pages.

If you are wanting to use the HTC widgets, how do you add them? They don't show when I try to add widgets.

EDIT: I guess this was answered as I was typing it...sorry, you can ignore this.
 
Regarding the FC when changing the icon, I wasn't suggesting a conflict with an installed app. I was recommending temporarily stopping any running apps.
I don't think that an app would cause this kind of conflict merely for being installed, but the right app could definitely cause a problem if it's running.
Personally, I'd start with stopping all apps via a task manager, then follow the process I outlined above to force close all apps that can safely be closed from the background.
From there, I can't imagine why you would have an issue changing the icon unless an app you force closed auto-runs immediately . . . if that's the case & you're still experiencing an issue, you'll know the culprit.
 
How do you remove icons/widgets to your home screen when using launcher pro? I just installed it, so I'm a noob here. But when I click and drag to the bottom they do not get removed.

Thanks in advance.

Use the trash can in the bottom/middle of the screen instead of swiping them off the screen as is done with Sense.

Thanks! Seems a bit tricky to remove them. I long pressed the widgets and then had to click the trash can on the bottom. But that worked great.

after a day of playing with this, you will be impressed with how cool it is to not use Sense...

Yeah I even tried to go back to sense , and it just wasn't doing it for me. I love the app tray on the bottom it's fantastic , I love not having that stupid Phone button taking up half the screen. The only thing I miss is the HTC weather clock widgets I have the beautiful widget but my only issue with that is when I hit the clock it takes me to weather instad of my clock functions. But honestly I hardly use that
 
if you are careful where you screen tap, you should be able to get clock or weather, as long as you set up the preferences properly when you first installed it
plus, there was an update yesterday or today, that might fix that for you

Nice I'll have to play with it a little
 
What are the best apps to use for changing icons? Id like to change the web browser icon, and also enable it in the app drawer?

So basically, what app is the best and how do you add it to the launcher pro app drawer? If there is a tutorial somewhere you can also point me to it vs. typing it out here.

Thanks guys! I'm glad you got me to try out Launcher Pro!

No go dude. I hit "end all" in SystemPanel, removed all the widgets from my three home screens, and it still force closed. Nothing running in settings -> applications besides the normal system stuff.

I don't know. It's just a big sloppy failure for me.
