getting this phone for christmas... first ever smartphone EVER! (mind you, i'm 18 and there are 12 year olds with this phone already) ....& this is gonna be the first app i download because i LOVE to customize & make my phone my own.
@iloveparkwaydrive92 once you install launcher pro and push the home button, it should ask which program you want to do this with...launcher pro or Home(motoblur). be sure to check the make this default box. to switch back, download homeswitcher, it's free. or uninstall launcher pro. but you won't want to do that....
with launcher pro you can hide icons in your app drawer so its not so cluttered... why didnt you do that with the huge amount of bloatware on the droid x
well i'm not sure why i see all these people complaining about Evo or Epic being better or worse because of touchwiz vs sense ....seems like Launcher Pro solves that debate very easily. What do i know though, i'm just now about to get my first smartphone...epic or evo hopefully the evo being delayed for who knows how long, doesn't force me to pick the Epic...i'd like to pick the phone that i'll enjoy the most
can I just run launcher pro and just set it to my stock droid x look as far as where my apps/widgets are placed? or do I have to totally start over from scratch as to where I want my apps to be?
@ByronSW32 you have to start from scratch. its not really that hard. i did it on my moto droid x and it took 5 minutes at most for it to look good. just base every screen on a different topic. 1 for social networking, 1 for games, 1 for music, 1 for camera, etc.
Question regarding Launcher Pro & battery balance/info:
I loaded Launcher Pro on my Droid X and included the Home Switcher app (to easily move between both Pro & the original X platforms); however, I noticed that I'm unable to find my battery info' to review its usage...Any suggestions or advice on how to locate it...
Menu -> Preferences -> Behavior Settings -> toggle off Enable Auto-rotation
I have a Droid X and I would say LauncherPro is a must have. I shelled out the $2 or 3 to get Plus because I REALLY like this app. Makes my Droid GUI slightly better than my prior iphone 3g.
1. I thought i was gonna have to shell out some bones for this, but no! Goes to show the dedication of the android community. apple community would charge money i bet.
2. and wow what an amazing addon. It smooths everything by like 100% AMAZING this is a must have people.
@gweedo767 another way to do it, and this works for all apps that have defaults (ie browsers) is to find the current default in the apps manager in the settings (launcher pro in this case) and hit the "clear defaults" button.
Still waiting for my Droid X to come in the mail.. it will be my first Android phone. Is Launcher Pro available from the market? I can't wait to get this monster of a phone!
wow love it. you did a great job with customization. How do you switch between home screens if you want to easily go back to the original stock screen? Thanks
@Al3xX256 Crap, not sure why the audio is so low on this. The video shows it all though. 5 rows of icons, fast, customizable static icons at the bottom. Loads of stuff.
@gweedo767 haha yeah i saw it, but i couldnt understand what you were explaining, does motoblur work with this? or is it a new user interface that replaces motoblur widgets.. (i know it doesnt have motoblur but it has widgets based on motoblur.. lol)

I have some questions
1. How did you change the number of panels on the Droid X to 3?
2. How did you allow 4/5 apps per row (making the spacing between apps vertically smaller).
3. And how did you get the "static button" you referred to?
Thanks!
