If you’re looking to spruce up your home screen without rooting your phone or anything, take a look at LauncherPro Beta. This home screen replacement adds a few features to your home screen without sacrificing speed. Lets look at some of those features:
- Dock at bottom of screen holding shortcuts to Dialer app, favorites, messaging, and browser apps
- 3D launcher with fly-in effect
- Up to 7 home screens
- Home screen previews
Pros
- Fast. One review jokingly called this application too fast
- Add more homescreens. On my Droid, I’m often pressed for homescreen real estate. This application alleviates that.
- Preview your homescreens. By pressing the home button while on a homescreen, you can get a live preview of all the home screens at once. You can then use this to quickly switch between screens.
Cons
- Conflicts with some application widgets. For some reason I got some weird results when listening to music (I use cubed). Sometimes both cubed and the stock player would start playing music, wreaking havoc on my ears and slowing the system down. Apparently some people have also been getting FC’s when adding widgets. But this is a beta application after all…
Overview
- Speedy, simple, effective app. Its free, so most definitely worth a try regardless of what mod you’re running, or if you’re running stock software. Since the application is still in beta, give it some time and there’s likely to be some solid improvement. Look for this to be a contender in this list of Home Screen replacements
