New launcher pro update = no bloat

[Nebilim]

the Jorte widgets do rock, there's so many the possibilities are almost endless. I would think it would be nice to be able to set which calendar app you want to open when you tap on the widget as well.

Jorte is ugly and takes up alot of memory

 

[Mr.Miagi]

I use Jorte and dont think its ugly. I have the black style and make the widgets almost transparent. With a darker background it looks quite nice and minimal. I use a 2x2 weekly and the 2x2 tasks side by side. To each his own but Jorte is quality along with pure calendar. The only thing launcher pro calendar is missing is tasks widget/be able to show tasks in the agenda view.

Jorte isn't ugly, the widgets are quite nice with the black blackground and since I use normally darker wallpapers they are almost transparent, like mr. miagi mentioned. So far it's the best calendar app I've used. Everybody is different though so if you like something else, that's fine too.

Another feature in the newest update I found

Long press on an icon in the quick launcher bar - you now have three options

Change Shortcut
Change Icon
Swipe gesture action

the last is the greatest thing - you can set your icons now to do something else when you swipe up/down on them

for example - got a quick launcher set to text your significant other? set its swipe gesture to direct dial them!

it's two for the price of one! BRILLIANT!

I'm tweaking mine as I speak!

 

[Mr.Miagi]

^^ ahh beat me to the post! The new resizable widgets with the preview is just fantastic. The swype gesture thing sounds cool, I'll start to mess with it.

OK SOOO when he said resizable widgets... he meant every widget now! I'm sure most of you just realized that from the beginning but I didnt and most of my widgets play very nicely with being resized! Except Jorte.

 

[Mr.Miagi]

try calwidget

I have ! and it is quite nice too! That was actually my first calendar widget I ever used but then gave in a bought pure calendar which at the time had tasks support and the other didnt. Maybe I'll download it again to see what the dev changed. Agenda Widget is very much like pure calendar and also very nice. So many great options to choose from cant go wrong!

So is the only difference between the Pro and the Plus version the widgets?

yes, the plus version gives you widgets for calendar, contacts, and bookmarks

 

[MowDownJoe]

So is the only difference between the Pro and the Plus version the widgets?

And the ability to resize any widget, and now beta support for the PhilBlur widgets. Although I wish the resize handles wouldn't pop up for us non-plus users... Really annoying when they pop up and I can't do anything with them.

 

[moosc]

how do u resize the plus widgets?

 

[Argent]

long press on the widget and then hold a little longer it'll get a yellow box around it

 

[StraightWisdom]

I'm also loving this... With my Froyo update on my EVO plus the LauncherPro Plus it's just amazing. I was sticking with HTC Sense because of their widgets... NOT ANYMORE! LPP all the way for me now.

Absolute must have if you're rocking a HTC Evo 4G.

I tried LauncherPro last week on my Droid X and had to get rid of it. For starters, every time my phone rang, it would lock up and I couldn't answer a call. As soon as it was uninstalled the problem went away.

Has anyone encountered issues like this?

i've been using launcher pro since the launch day of the X (got the plus version as soon as it became available) and have not encountered a single issue other than using the "leap" feature, it tends to be extremely laggy the first time doing it, but it's okay after that

Thanks, Brandon. I will reinstall and give it another try. I also went with the plus right off the bat.

 

[baxterlf]

I second no issues with Droid X compatibility. Love this as the Moto UI is lame.

 

[GynormousMellon#AC]

Same here....no issues with my X. I also have the plus

Uninstalling AT&T apps

Does the uninstall feature of this app really, completely remove some of the AT&T-branded bloatware that came on my Captivate? Or will there still be remnants of them somewhere hidden deep in the system?

Thanks

It depends on how ATT installed the apps. If they are normal apps then removing them should blow away all of the crap, if they installed the app into the system, then it'll be really hard to remove them. Knowing ATT and the crap they do I'd guess at least some of the apps are installed into the system.
