LauncherPro Beta

HTC eris home has 7 screens, the same as what are provided by launcher pro. so would you guys say that it's not much of an improvement? or can launcherpro provide 7 screens on one home screen of eris ?
 
Ya i used it earlier today. Takes for ever to get things added to your screens, but it is fast otherwise. I changed back only because of the fact I couldn't use the HTC stocks widget. I mean I had the stocks application still but no widget.

I've used Helix and Zeam, love the bottom dock in Helix and Zeam was a little faster than Helix. Launcher Beta is now my new home, it is so smooth and fast it's crazy! Only problem with this and Zeam is I'd love to have the same kind of bottom dock as Helix. Here's some screenshots......

What is that power bar widget?
 
I have it, but until I can change the bottom dock I will continue to use Helix. I don't really recognize a speed difference between the two. Although, I do like how the apps "fly in" when you open up your apps tray.

I had the exact same set up on the bottom with helix anyway, so I don't mind. I'm going to keep using this over helix because it is

-very smooth
-has leap
-fly in app drawer
-customizable screen #
 
I like this for the sheer fact that the HUGE PHONE button isn't front and center on every screen. For whatever reason I still have lots of accidental dials even though I'm using NotCallLog and DialerOne.
 
I've never messed around with launchers before but this looks so fast that I'm going to need to try it for myself. My apologies here though, I've never moved off Sense, so . . . how to I flip to LauncherPro Beta from Sense, and vice versa? Your help is appreciated!

I'm pretty sure I won't be switching to LauncherPro, since I do use a fair amount of Sense widgets, but who knows? I never thought I'd like tuna, mustard, or pickles either!

Use an app called home switcher
 
I'd also like to have the option to have it rotate landscape. Such a basic thing, but only Helix has it. I'm sure everyone has their preference, but that's mine.

Tried it and liked most of it. It takes a minute to load when you get to a new screen, but once you've gotten that out of the way it's SUPER fast.

I use the following Sense Widgets that I'd need to replace:
- HTC Clock (w/Weather View)
- HTC Bookmarks
- HTC Tip Calculator
- HTC Music
- HTC Calendar (Agenda View)
- HTC Photo Album (Full Screen)
​
The other thing that KILLS me is that I don't get a visual notification in the bottom dock on new Messages.

FYI -- Per the Dev's homepage, he is working on Dock Customization. So, no worries, it's coming . . .

Get Beautiful Widgets and you won't care about not having the Sense widgets.

I'm looking for the clear power-strip widget that I keep seeing in some of the pictures. But I don't want to have to root for it. Is there an .apk?
 
I will be switching between this and Helix for the next couple of days. Just downloaded this 10 minutes ago, so I'm just putting my clock on and such. I love it how fast this is. That's the first thing I noticed. And... I wouldn't mind knowing what power bar that is. Is it part of beautiful widgets?

The power bar is SwitchPro, It's in the market for .99cents. You can pick what you want the powerbar to control from a list. It's probably the best .99cents I've spent
 
I really like how smooth and fast this launcher makes the phone. I wish the home button would take you back to the center screen before going into "leap" mode.
