Android Customization - Launcher Pro and Launcher Pro Icons Application - Scrolling Dock - Widget Resize - Droid Does

Launcher pro is a spectacular Application that allows you to customize your home screen layout on your Android powered phone.

With launcher pro, you can choose how many home screens to display. You can swipe through several home screens, or you can have just a single home screen. Changing the number of screens allows you to easily organize your applications and widgets for easy access. People tend to set larger widgets on a single home screen, which provides the user with more convenient and easy to read widgets.

Launcher Pro also offers resizing of certain widgets that would normally be unavailable. By long-pressing on a widget, your widget will be highlighted with a yellow background. At the bottom right corner of the yellow box, you can drag the widget to the size you desire. Not all widgets can be resized with Launcher Pro, but expanding the size allows users to evenly space their widgets on a particular screen. This feature is only available for the paid version of the app.

Another great feature that is loved by the users of Launcher Pro is the scrolling dock. You can decide how many dock screens you can scroll through, as well as having a continuous dock that repeats as you scroll through it, or stops once it reaches the end of your dock. The scrolling dock feature is used to add several frequently used application icons without taking up space on your home screens. You can also choose how many dock slides you would like to have. If you don’t like a crowded dock, you can choose how many icons are displayed on a dingle dock slide. Along with the scrolling dock, you can add “swipe” functions to application icons. Swipe functions act as a regular icon, but gives a single icon double links. For example, your facebook icon can link to the facebook application when clicked, but if you swipe your finger over the icon, you can set it to open a certain page or even a completely different application. Swipe functions can be used on your dock icons or your home screen icons.

Launcher Pro Plus features even more great modifications. For only $2.99, you can get exclusive popup widgets, and the widget resizing feature. It’s only $2.99 and helps fund more incredible features. We highly recommend giving it a shot.

Launcher Pro Icons, which is also known as LPI, takes your Launcher Pro to a whole new level. Consider LPI to be an expansion pack for Launcher Pro. LPI is a massive database of Launcher Pro icons and dock backgrounds. The LPI app lets users upload their own icons and dock backgrounds for public or private use, as well as highly rated icons. LPI has a search feature that searches for icon replacements for the applications you have installed on your mobile device. LPI is an additional $1.99, but is well worth the customization features. There are small replacement icons for most of the popular applications, which can be used on your scrolling dock.

Launcher Pro and LPI are great applications to have for modifying the appearance of your Android powered phone. Users get tired of the default look of the interface and friends become easily impressed with your alternate features from Launcher Pro.
