I downloaded, installed, and assigned it as the launcher from QuickDesk. I then loaded up the 5 screens with the exact same apps and widgets as I use on Launcher Pro. Where possible, I assigned the same apps to the rotating dock.
I was impressed with the speed the screen came up with from sleep. I came up quickly, 1-3 seconds. Movement across home screens was snappy. Once the following issues are resolved, I think this may become my home screen of choice.
I encountered 1 small problem with apps dock. This problem is that the apps would not stay in alphabetic sequence, regardless of the number of times I set it to alphabetic.
I would like the ability to add folders from "Folder Organizer" to the dock area. I can add folders from "Folder Organizer" to the home screens, but not to the dock area. You can do this with LP.
No, for what I consider the real bad. When I reboooted my Droid, (that is powered it down, then powered it back on, all widgets were removed from the Go Launcher Screens. There was blank space in the spaces where the widgets use to be. Also the setting in Touchdown got trashed. Widgets that were assigned to QuickDesk were also gone. In order to rule out a system crash, I re-added a couple of widgets, rebooted and low and behold, the widgets were gone again. I uninstalled Go Launcher, rebooted, and used the stock browser. Widgets were fine. I then switched to LP Plus and widgets were fine. I fixed the Touchdown settings. I rebooted in LP Plus and widgets were fine and Touchdown settings were fine. I downloaded and installed Go Launcher a 2nd time. I loaded the first screen with Beautiful Widgets and the stock calendar widget. I rebooted and these two widgets were gone and Touchdown settings were trashed again. I gave up an removed Go Launcher.
For me the loss of widgets on re-boot is a most serious problem. The trashing of Touchdown settings is also a serious problem. Once these re-boot problem has been resolved, I will try Go Launcher again.
Like I said, I think this Home replacement shows great promise, but the re-boot problem makes this a no-go.
This is based on my experience, most likely yours will differ.
