Home++ - vs. - LauncherPRO...

Greetings.

I, too, enjoy the SPEED of this app, over and above most else. Over the past 6 months, I have sampled most of the major app launcher programs on the market - both free ans well as paid, and this is hands down the fastest/smoothest around.

Now, if only it had the FEATURES that Home++ has, as THAT program/app ALREADY HAS such great features as a task bar icons that can not only be slid back and forth - horizontally, but you can pick and choose which ones you want to use/show. Furthermore,if you are in the "app library", and decide to remove one, when you hold down the icon - you get a prompt to remove it. A similar option is featured, when you are running an app, and just want to close it/turn it off, you simply hold down the lower left "return" button... and it closes, freeing up system memory. There are MANY more features in this home launcher, too.

I know, you're saying, "Well - if Home++ is 'all that' - why not just use it?" I would - if it wasn't so dang slow - for example, when I select to use the dial pad, it takes nearly 15 to 22 seconds to appear on the screen; really. After all, this IS a PHONE...! What's more, Home++ seems to be FC'ing nearly ALL the time, forcing home launch restarting... on my outta-the-box, non-rooted Motorola DROID... running version 2.1.1 I truly like Home++, but the developer of same hasn't done anything with it for well over a month, nor has he or she been receptive to any emails. So, it looks like our LauncherPRO may be the next Holy Grail of apps - if it can incorporate the features that made Home++ so popular!

I'll be MOST eager to see what is next...!
