Help LauncherPro issues?

[kooldino]

I installed LauncherPro and really like it.

However, once I installed it, all of my home screens, icons, and widgets were blanked out.

I went ahead and added some of them manually all over again. That said, many of the widgets that I had before the installation are nowhere to be found in my widgets menu. What gives?

Also, it's app menu seems to like to sort things alphabetically. I'd prefer to sort chronologically based on install date/time. Can this be done?

Some of the missing widgets include:

Buddies Now
Feeds and Updates
Program Monitor

I believe those are touchwiz only widgets.

What on earth is touchwiz?

 

[rounsy222]

Stock launcher

Ah. So there's no way to get touchwiz widgets to work with other launchers?

You can at least get to the stock task manager by long pressing the home button.

Sorry, not to my knowledge :-(

I used Launcher Pro for a while (even paid for Plus!), but I've been using GO Launcher EX, and MUCH prefer it over Launcher Pro now.

It's much more tweakable and will even sort your app drawer the way you are wanting it to (chronologically rather than alphabetically...although you have both choices).

It can also be themed like ADW Launcher, which is a nice touch. Oh, and it's also FREE.

Launcher Pro has its own widgets available in the paid version. They largely mimic the widgets found in HTC's sense.

Does anyone have issues with LauncherPro freezing the phone for about 15 seconds when you unlock it?
