Yeah what is missing other than Launcher Pro's Sense style widgets? As a long term user of both I find very little missing in Go, in fact more missing in Launcher Pro...

But the widgets are so important if your trying to make things look nice

Please! I only have one homescreen so care this much [-] for widgets

It's lots of little things, like the easy ability to place icons on home screens (why does it stay zoomed out?), better widgets, home button goes to home screen, then app drawer when at the home screen etc. that I really miss.

It all adds up to a clunkier system for me.

I don't understand any of that? Lol.

You can place icons on home screen exactly the same way and so on...

Anyone know of a simple app that save locations on? Want to mark them down as I go places so I know where I was.

No you can't, but it takes ages to type on my phone so I can't be assessed to go into huge detail.

One thing i don't like about Go launcher, When you open the app draw you have those 3 options along the top. I have no need for those & they make it look ugly. I couldn't find a way of turning them off, If you can I might give it another try.

Also doesn't show your bottom home screen icons, which kinda annoys me since using TW. Oh my, did I just say I used TW!

TW is my launcher of choice, slick, and i like the big icons at the bottom, shame on Batista70 that it doesn't have notifications numbers for the buttom bar, but nee'mind

You can turn off the 3 options buttons at the top of the app drawer in settings:

A lot of the people complaining about Go Launcher really need to dive into the settings

For example, Kreee, you can bind the home button to take you to the home screen...

mrk · 9 Sep 2011 at 02:18

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that too ^^ hehe!

Not really complaining, besides it is easy to miss settings that weren't there before I uninstalled

what battery icon % indicator is that? I tried this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=89586141 but it sucks, some of the numbers don't even fit within the battery icon

infact, is it a theme? your wifi and clock icons don't look stock either.
