Go Launcher: A Second Look
I’ve had some time to play with Go Launcher just a bit more. It does all seem to be much more stable than Launcher Pro. I have recreated my Circle Launcher folders and rearranged a few items.
I am also trying a new widget, Pure Messenger (currently US$1.99) that consolidates Twitter and Facebook feeds into a single stream- exactly what I wanted. It comes with 10 different widget sizes , although they can all be resized with Go Launcher. That’s a big help for maximizing the usage of the screen size. I’ll post an update in a few days once I’ve had more time using it.
The right side dock includes 3 vertically scrolling app lists. I have Facebook, Google+, Wallpaper changer, ES File Explorer, and Camera on this particular dock screen.
Along the top:
Weather Channel Widget
Beautiful Widgets (clock)
Widgetsoid (easy access to enable/disable wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, and show battery level)
Second set of rows
Go Launcher Calendar, gmail, work email
Next row
Pure Messenger (single stream for Twitter and Facebook feeds)
Next to Pure Messenger are my Circle Launcher app folders (See this post for a close up CircleLauncher screen capture.)
The lower right include the Verizon data usage widget, Xmarks (cross platform [subscription] bookmark synchronizing app), Iris (Dexetra’s alpha Siri clone) and last but not least…the Xoom Music player.
