LauncherPro Discoveries

I didn't know you could pinch to get the previews. But if that's what you were doing and found it less than ergonomic (I know I would), I'm wondering if you know you can press the Home key to do the same thing.

Double tap the home button to get the screen previews.

Has anyone figured out how to attach Bookmarks to a dock icon swipe?

Hi,

Long Press the Dock Icon to bring up Options > Edit dock Shortcut >> Select Change Shortcut. This brings up Select Shortcut >> Select Activities.

1. On the Activities screen select Internet (for stock browser) >> Select Bookmarks (com.android.browser.CombinedBookmarkHistoryActivity >> Select Icon. DONE

2. On the Activites scree select Dolphin Browser HD (for Dolphin browser) >> Select Dolphi Bookmarks (mobi.mgeek.Tunny Browser.ShortcutBookmarksPage) >> Select Icon. DONE

I have tried both options. WORKS FOR ME! Best of Luck

What is up with LauncherPro shortcuts, how do this work? Mine doesn't display anything in the list.

You have to make or load your own. I'm going to go back and read all of this thread. I am having a hard time with trying to build my own. The information I've found through searching has been scarce. The most I could figure out was that you have to set up your own "Intent" but I haven't been successful yet. In fact, I got so frustrated that I used App Builder to make a little tool to get me through.

anyway to move your screens? I just increased # of screens and am OCD about main home being in middle of wallpaper.

I want to move screen 2 to screen 3.

Check your homescreen settings and pick default

Just 'discovered' that you can unistall an unwanted app simply by dragging the icon to the trash and holding it for a few seconds.

It will show a 'pop up' saying "Drop to uninstall".

It can be done from home screens or app drawer.

New to me...

I knew you could do it, but I didn't know how. Excellent find!

Did they get Moto widgets to work yet? I found out the hard way that the paid version isn't really worth it. While the text widget is the best one, SMS Popup is better and actually has the correct time! I found out that for some reason text widgets can only grab the time from GMT or something weird. It's odd, but there's a reason behind it. I guess I'm not too bitter, it's an excellent launcher, especially compared to the crap that Motorola has.

I just wish the Moto widgets worked with it (they have super contact ones) and the widgets I paid for with the Paid edition looked as nice as the text widget!

I saw that you can change default. I was wondering if there was anyway to actually swap locations of screens 2 and 3 and then I will change default to 3.

I know in TW, you can just move say what's on screen 1 and move it to screen 5 by sliding.

Otherwise, it looks like I have to change everything I have on 2 to 3 and change all shortcuts that are on screen 3 to screen 2 or 4.

Yep, right now you have to do it the hard way (unless I've missed something). Go Launcher has the ability to rearrange home screens - I'm hoping this is a feature that gets added to LP. As much as I like GL it doesn't have the widgets that LP+ has, and I don't want to give those up just yet.
