Default (APP) LG Evo Launcher




*FONT ON THE LAUNCHER IS A CUSTOM FONT , (NOT INCLUDED), (to have this font u need root access , download link below )


*new home launcher for the evo*

-5 to 7 screens available only-
-app drawer has categories option, organize your apps the way you feel-
(games, media, etc)
-Home launcher selector app (switch between home launcher very easy)
-Sense preview screens


To start off i want people to know that this is a "LG Home launcher", this launcher will be seen on the new upcoming LG optimus Phones very soon,
and i was able to port it to the htc evo and it seem to work for other phones also

I have post it the original thread a while back on September,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769138
And now updated and couple of fixes have been done to have a stable launcher that people can choice to download and give a try.

want to give many thanks to this guy to actually fix some mini couple bugs and force closes that was making this launcher annoying (lol),

(hes actually been working on it, and i will too)


BUGS ( WILL BE FIX SOON )
-The Uninstaller on the app drawers doesnt work yet, it force closes.
-When u open the launcher in the screens you will see "Problem loading widgets",
U can delete them and there should be no problem using the widgets after that,
-LG Calander Widget dont sync with events, but widget does load and work on homescreen, (will see if theres a fix soon)


OTHER GOODIES / WIDGETS

-Analog Clock widgets ( 8 of them )


-Calendar Widget

(WIDGET DOESNT SYNC WITH THE EVENT BUILT APP SO BE PATIENT)

-Memo Widget


Custom Font ROOT USERS ONLY

(thanks to fachadick for this awesome font)


instructions

1) Download the Home selector apk first so you wont have a force close when you go the "Home settings"
and select "Home selector" On your homescreen.

2) download LG EVO Launcher / Widgets to the SD card and download it as you would any other app with "ASTRO , file manager ETC".

3) (ROOT USERS ONLY) Custom font, just flash in recovery as a normal flashable zip



LG LAUNCHER IN THE MARKET
i been scrolling in the android market and came across this application which looks like the port of the old launcher i did a while back,

(this version has bugs on them and doesnt work very well)
i want to first say that it took me a time to make this launcher to work, LG is the owner of this launcher, but still give credit to those who work and put time on this, damn.

ENJOY

I like it however the calendar widget does not seem to work. Is it suppose to pull the events from the sense calendar or go to it when you click a date? As of right now when I click on a date in the calendar widget it does nothing. How did you get the sense clock to work, or is it something diff (forgot the name of the other one lol).

just like touchwiz for samsung,

open the app drawer and click on "Menu" of ur phone and just click organize and drag it to the dock. if this is what you mean,

moving around the icons and labels you have to open the app drawer and just click "menu" theres alot of options there.
