Huge Launcher Pro Update

[Sundown]

So what is the full name for the market search? Launcher pro plus?

Just LauncherPro. Once you pay, you'll get a code to enter which unlocks the "plus" section.

LauncherPro - Android app on AppBrain

I did a search for launcher pro plus and aaw shows up. I am confused, you buy launcher pro then added certain widgets to it?

Search for LauncherPro (one word) & download the free version.

Then go Here to donate. After you get the code you can then activate Plus via the settings menu.

Just download the free Launcher Pro from the market or AppBrain etc. On the information page for Launcher Pro in the Market there is a link to the developers website. Click through to the website and you can purchase the app from there via Paypal (and Credit Card but I used Paypal ... for all their foibles, I know where they live ). When you have purchased it you will be sent an email which should have your code.

When you have your code, enter it into Launcher Pro and it will unlock the Plus features. Hope that made some sense ... it is a little convoluted but a reasonable work around for the developer not being able to offer paid apps in the Market.

the $3 is def worth it. its already a sweet home alternative. an the sense like widgets for my droid r making it all the sweeter!

Just got another update that now adds a bookmark widget! has a couple size choices and looks pretty awesome. This guys does good work, cant wait for the calendar and messaging widget.

 

[Chillout80s]

Do the other widgets have smaller sizes available too? Before I had to uninstall it due to recent updates constantly force closing and causing epic lag, I noticed that the contact widget was only 1 size and took up the entire screen if you wanted to see more than just 1 row of contacts?

I'm trying out the contacts widget but honestly I don't think it is so great, I think I prefer creating a few icon shortcuts for very special people and just using the address book in the phone app if I need more numbers. I am not finding very many widgets really useful, not just LauncherPro either. I bought it really to support the developer who was so kind to do all the work for my benefit, so it's all good. I am liking the bookmark widget ok, that seems like a good use of space. Maybe the Contacts one will get some more setting options.

I have found that if I delete the contact widget, try to add again, the exact same error message will occur. I believe that the market and/or appbrain is downloading it to the free program. I have to reinstall the apk to get the widget back.

The dev is supposed to mail you a file that you copy onto your SD card and then install it that way. Until you do that you'll still get the error. If you haven't received that file yet then you need to contact him asap.

Fixed It

Ok, I went to the source and read the faqs on the LauncherPro forum. (novel concept ) Apparently if you bought the program and need the key, like I do to keep the program at the plus and not the free level, per the faqs.....

3. How do I get LauncherPro Plus?/I've already purchased, how do I get the "Unlock code"?

Make sure you have downloaded the latest LauncherPro (the free version) from the android market, before performing these steps.
Step 1: Open LauncherPro, press "Menu", choose "Preferences", and then click on "Unlock LauncherPro Plus" (ALTERNATIVELY, YOU CAN Long press the homescreen, choose "LauncherPro Widgets", choose one of the options (e.g. People), and go through the widget setup)
Step 2: Press "Yes, please!", which will take you to a secure PayPal payment web page, where you simply log-in with your PayPal details to make the purchase.

Step 3: Go to LauncherPro Plus Unlock Code and enter your PayPal e-mail address, to get the "Unlock code".

I did step 3. to get my code because I had already paid for it.

[Mr.Miagi]

Yes there are more then one size for the contacts widget. I have not had any problems with the widgets and think they are awesome. Cant wait till he releases the calendar tomorrow.

 

[riseboi]

The update with the calendar is now available.

 

[tritan]

anybody have pics of the update with calendar

 

[Argent]

I dig the calendar - just wish it was a little more apparent when there were things scheduled on the calendar...

Three sizes-

4x5

4x3

3x3

and of course they are scrollable

clicking on the icon in the upper right corner gets you the Agenda

Can you use the LauncherPro widgets on your normal home screen as well? I've been using the X and like some of the widgets but wanted some more widgets, especially a better calendar widget.

 

[Sundown]

Has anyone figured out where the calendar widget settings are? Mine keeps showing a calendar that I don't need / want displayed right now. I have it hidden in the stock calendar app and another cal widget I have let's me choose which calendars to show. I looked everywhere and can't find the settings for the LPP calendar widget.

the LPP widget can only display from your google calendar or sense calendar for now. youll have to adjust what calendars you want displayed in your google calendar settings

 

[Cory Streater]

I'm loving the direction he's going with these updates. With the addition of the calendar widget, I'm totally dumping the X's Motorola launcher. I would like the option to have the calendar widget default to calendar view though. I'm sure he'll provide a setting for that soon.

P.S. - I don't use Google Calendar. I use the stock Moto one, so the inability to display the Sense calendar must be something he still needs to implement.

 

[MowDownJoe]

This update also fixed all the Force Close issues I was having with the Hidden Apps feature from the last update. Really, all I could ask for. Now my bottom row of my app drawer is nice and full, and my OCD is satisfied.

That's the problem. Under the phone's calendar settings, I have one specific calendar "synced, not visible". The stock calendar app's not showing it, another calendar widget I have is not showing it, but the LPP widget is.
