thankx, and yea the app drawer not the dock. So I'm not using plus, what am I missing other than more widgets... Cuz I really don't care about widgets. I have a app that includes a widget for most everything that I want a widget for. Widgets are awesome, but so demanding on grid space, I might have 7 or 8 total on 7 home pages.

Ok its like 6 am, but I think this is very possible, someone help please. In open home you could swipe up to go to default home page. In LP you can edit swipe gesture actions. So say when I swipe Up across my app drawer button I want it to center my home screens to page 4. How do I go about setting that up? Looks very doable via the custom shortcut feature (long press dock button/ edit swipe gesture/ custom shortcut). Being able to pop up the screen toggle is close but still not good enough. Thankx, and I'm sry if I'm thinking this is possible just cuz I want that feature back.

Thanks for everything so far droidforums.net, and thankx to everyone that makes it all happen and shares knowledge!

In case anyone is interested, the author of LauncherPro is currently re-writing the entire program from scratch (as it is currently based off the stock launcher app)....gonna take a tik, but should provide some very cool improvements when he's done.

Just switched from adw to LPP I feel it was the right move. Feels much smoother

Been using ADW since March now and love it. Its free of course, but some of the Themes cost.

If you browse the various themes/themers on this forum you will find that there are lots of free adw themes you can download from the market or from the themer. I am currently using DarkEdge themes but have also enjoyed incognito/invertino themes for adw. York colored themes are in the market and the icons are excellent artwork.

True. I've also found a people widget, very similar to LPP and its free on the market.

I haven't used Open Home. I have used LP and ADW. I loved LP(full verion) but then started having icon issues on my desktop. It was as if they were on my SD card and couldn't read them. So I switched to ADW.

I like that ADW lets me set the scrolling speed of my desktop screens. It has a lot less bounce going in between screens, very smooth. The LAB setting on the dock is pretty cool also.

Everyone has gotta love something and there is my $.02 worth :)

Spent a few weeks with lp. Now using adw for the first night. I love the options, the look, and its feel. Very smooth as well. My favorite so far.

Ok, ive changed my mind again. Set up lp with rubix blurry and I can't lie I love it, its faster and smoother and much less of a system hog than adw was. Adw had the better options, and look, had every option you could want actually, but lp simply works when u want to scrool home pages that are riddled with widgets smoothly.
Lp wins cuz.of performance.

LP A+++
ADW A+
