Third party launcher performance

I'm liking LLP right now, despite a (very) few laggings. Just cause I'm curious... is there a People or Contacts widget in GO like LLP? It's something I missed from Sense and a big reason why I went back to LLP when I got the Razr (not a big fan of Blur).

All the cool widgets are in the paid version. Since the developer essentially stopped working on this quite sometime ago I wouldn't bother giving him a dime at this point.

Home Switcher still does not let you set Blur back as the default launcher as long as there are other launchers installed. I stumbled upon something called MotoHomeHelper today that allegedly fixes this, but I haven't tried it yet.

Just to confirm this for those interested - there is a free app called HomeSmart which has a feature called MotoHomeHelper that when activated lets you properly set Blur back as the default launcher although others (Go in my case) are installed.

Edit: It's called HomeSmack, not HomeSmart; I got that wrong yesterday.

Can you provide a link to the app in the market as I have been unable to find it.

Also unable to find it... I guessed "Home Switcher for Froyo" which says Gingerbread ready in the details. I loaded and it recognizes LauncherPro and Homescreen... but I've not yet been brave enough (or really had time for rebuilding) to try it.
 
I gave blur a chance but the flashlight/spotlight effect got old really quick. Also, i don't like the white gradient at the bottom of the screen. So I went with go launcher and it's working really smooth. I used to use lpp, but while it does work very smooth, the dev is slow to add new features. Supposedly he was rewriting lpp from scratch but I haven't heard anything about that in months.
 
Well... based on this thread, I spent some time with GO launcher this afternoon. Awesome! Assuming nothing comes up in use over the next couple days, I've got me a new launcher. Thanks all.
