Launcher Pro or Launcher Pro Plus?

Post by Esha »

Ive recently installed Launcher Pro on my Archos 70 and Im likely it very much.

Was wondering if anyone knew exactly just what the advantages of Launcher Pro Plus are over the standard free Launcher Pro. :?: If the advantages are substantial enough I may just consider buying this one.

Thanks

Launcher pro plus enables the use of several full page widgets - well worth the small cost in my opinion

Plus also lets you resize several widgets. Not worth it enough for me, but might be for you.

I was looking for launcher pro in the market place but only the plus was coming up. I can see other "locked" apps so I know I have the correct market on my 70, so where are you guys getting your launcher pro?

I couldn't find it on my archos either, had to download it through the market on my phone and sideload it that way

I use Zeam but found the resize option quite handy with the bigger widgets. I display the plume twitter widget on my homepage but resized from 4x4 to 4x3 to keep it from being half the screen big. taptalk as 1x2 instead of 1x3, catch 1x3 instead of 1x4, etc. Once you realize there are a number of widgets that can be reduced but still be fully functional I'd bet you'll use the feature quite a bit.

I had same problem. Nowhere to be found on Market Place. All I know is, I typed Launcher Pro download into search bar of Google, and found the download there. Do this on your Archos though, and double check its the Launcher Pro for Android you are getting. I then went to Market Place and bought the Launcher Pro Plus.

I was just going to say this is what I did. I actually dl it on my computer and copied it over via BT and installed it using appinstaller. Works great, I love it.

I often find myself waiting for the system to reorient the home screen when coming out of an application or out of a menu. Does this app help that issue?

only launcher I have found to re orientate home screen because of soft buttons is Go Launcher ex which is one of the reasons I now use it all of the time ,
however I am hoping that because I use landscape most of the time that launchers like this will get better :) http://vegantab.gojimi.com/vt-labs/vtl-launcher/
