Launcher Pro not working properly? - Vibrant Themes and Apps

So I installed Launcher Pro on my Vibrant, and everything works great, but the person icon on the bottom doesn't seem to work. I thought this icon would be my contacts, but when I select it it says "Application is not installed on your phone." Does anyone know why, or how to fix this?

Hold down the Key and then select application then select contacts then say launcher pro icons

And when i can scroll down to the allow button i cant push it!

yeah launcher pro is working gr8
It's the first app I install when update to 2.1. Never though of the other launcher again. Especially like the friends widget showing you feeds from facebook and twitter and the ability to reply or comment from your homescreen unlike the crappy timescape which is slow to update and use browsers to do any action.

Holy mother of battery power Changed my phone setup to use Launcher Pro instead of ADW launcher. Having all other settings such as number of home screen, widget placement and refresh time on widgets the same. I have gone from recharging every 3-4 hours to the phone lasting a whopping full day Seems like ADW was clashing big time with something on the phone.
I like the speed and response time. It is much faster than ADW, and there is the promise of more speed once the complete rewrite of Launcher Pro comes Very happy LP Plus user here
I am using this launcher (very good app) but i have a problem. At Android system info in section Tasks I have task "android.process.acore(package: com.fede.launcher)" which is running with 100% CPU.
Do you have something similar?
(my english is not good)
Got the paid version today like the htc sense hope to see clock and weather widgets aswell but awesome launcher turns the x10 mini into a beast.

What is your home application? provide more details
i'm sorry i'm new to this, what is a home application? hmmm.. I'm running a unrooted x10 as of right now... if that helps. Thanks!
The button i was talking about is the center bottom button that becomes a trash can when you try to delete applications from your home screen. I was wondering how I can install shortcuts next to the trash can button. I didnt know x10 was capable of doing this until I used the clean-up.bat that came along with jit. However, I have since factory reset the x1o, and I was wondering how I can get the shortcuts functions back without all the other customized functions that clean-up.bat gives you after you run it. Thanks!

Im assuming you have adw, if so do as i have mentioned below:
Long press empty place of the home screen
select Launcher actions
select Open/close app drawer
Then your icon will appear in the scree, simply drag the icon to desired position on the bottom bar, in your case to the center location
Cheers
What is adw? and how can I find out if I have it or not? when I long press the home screen, it gives me 4 options - shortcuts, widgets, folders, and wallpapers. I do not have launcher actions.... how do I get that? Thanks!
Install LauncherPro, long press the icon, and change the icon, or the function.

I installed LauncherPro and it did it automatically. Thanks everyone!

Direct Dial???

On my Captivate I had the ability to add a Direct Dial icon to my screen, allowing me to call someone with one press of a button. I was using Launcher Pro, and am not sure if it was that launcher of the Samsun firmware that gave me the ability to add that shortcut.
However, on the Atrix, also running launcher pro, I don't see an option anywhere to add direct dial, as in its missing from the list of things to add.
I can add a contact to the page, but then there's a second step needed to actually dial the number.
Any thoughts on how I can get around it?
Nobody? Am I the only one who ever used the direct dial function?
I did it too, cant find it on atrix either
Had the same problem, here's what you can do:
Get the [free] app "Folder Organizer lite" from the market...Then go to the create a shortcut menu, and select Folder Organizer item - pick Direct Call / Direct Text etc. from the next menu and you're good to go. Works great! There is built-in functionality with Blur but I find it to be very flaky / hard to setup.
This worked! Thank you very much. Now I'm 100% happy with the phone!

how did you get this to work? after i make the contact in the app, I keep getting the error message that "shortcuts were only available in the paid version" whenever i click on the new contact .
Animated widget is pretty cool too. I can direct dial or text any contact in my book from a single widget. The other app that worked well was anycut.

You don't make the contact in the app. You just add a shorcut like you would any other on your homescreen (so press and hold and select shortcut), in the shortcuts menu there is an option for folder organizer items, select that and then select direct dial from the list.

I don't know what is an issue here but I'm running LauncherPro as well and on my Atrix speed dial works just fine. Simple press dialer and old any button except 1 which is voicemail.

[Q] [FIXED] DirectDial Shortcut Not Working for Go/Apex Launcher?

Keep getting a 'Unable to access application, please restart Go launcher', when I tap on a Direct Dial Shortcut on my home screen. This happens for both Go and Apex launchers. TW works ok.
Weird thing was, it used to work when I got the phone. Anyone with similar problems?
I've been using Apex free for two days but not had an issue yet.

I have been using NOVA launcher and have the same issue. When I hit the direct dial widget I get a small message saying "app is not installed". If I clear defaults for the phone app then i get a choice between phone and skype, then hitting phone from there works. But that is definitely not a solution.

Yup, installed Viber and the choice menu pops up. If I select a default, I get back the same error message.

I have the same problem with the direct dial widget for all of the 3rd party launchers. I wonder if it's a permission thing on the Samsung that was not implemented correctly.
I had no such issues with 3rd party launchers on my HTC One-X.
Hit on the bulls eye! I have googled same problem and came directly into this subject. I also have a Galaxy S III and use Apex Launcher instead of memory eating monster Samsung TW; I also install Touch Pal contacts and dialer since Samsung has not been able come with a decent T9 dialer for ages. Anyhow, the problem is direct call shortcuts do not work on my device neither. As for detailed information, I use Omega v4.0. Also note that, I have recently used Apex Launcher on my Galaxy S II with I9100XWLPG (4.0.3) and did not have this problem.
I hope someone comes with a solution, it's annoying.
Regards.
In Nova Launcher it is already fixed. I switched until Apex is fixed too.
Any solution to this? GoLauncher still creating problems.
Fixed!
Its Fixed In Go Launcher! Sent them an email on Tuesday, fixed today. Pretty efficient.
most definitely not fixed!
Direct Dial still not working in Apex launcher. Issue reported to them well over a week ago and have received the odd useless email response from them. Not at all impressed with their "customer service"

I got my SIII about a month ago, and direct dial never worked on Launcher Pro. Did you have to reinstall or something?
Hi, I've a GS III i9300 with Go Launcher and my direct dial refused to work.
Finally, I've managed to make it work :victory:
My exact problem was : I managed to have a direct dial icon on the desktop, and it turned "green" when I clicked on it (everything's normal so far), so it should have worked, but nothing happened, the screen stayed on the desktop like this.
I'm pretty sure the problem can be different for each configuration.
Here are few steps you could follow to have a better idea of your problem.
1/ Be sure that the problem comes from the launcher you have.
To know that, it's very easy, just install a home switcher, like Home Switcher from the market (Link here).
2/ Then go to your apps, click on Home Switcher then launch the default TouchWiz launcher (if you still have it, or another launcher you may have installed)
3/ Now your are in another launcher, so try to add a direct dial icon on the desktop (The usual way is to make a long press somewhere, then you choose apps & widget, then you search a bit between the widgets you get, then long press on direct dial (or speed dial), you place it somewhere, then you select a contact from your list)
4/ Try this direct dial icon. When I tried, it worked directly, so I knew the problem was somewhere around my Go Launcher.
If it's still not working for you, the problem isn't -probably- coming from your launcher !
(Now, you probably have to search somewhere else, like on your rom/kernel...)
5/ If it's working for you, I think it's good news.
Now you can probably go back to your launcher (Go Launcher in my case) and try some things.
Like configuration/parameters --> more --> applications manager --> download --> search for "Go Launcher EX" (or your launcher)
Here you can try to "Clear Defaults", "Clear Cache" & "Clear Data". (Caution : Clearing the data should revert the application back to it's state as it was when you first installed it)
Then reboot your phone and check if it's working.
6/ If it's not. The problem can be another app you've installed that's messing up your Go Launcher.
In my case, I've installed a great app, X Privacy (The Xda topic about it here) that allowed me to feed any app installed with empty/anonymous data.
In this app, you can set & restrain exactly which part of the phone you've turned anonymous (accounts, call, contacts...) for which app.
I had restrain everything for Go Launcher, that's why direct dial wasn't working anymore. I just had to uncheck the part "call (phone, sms, mms)" concerning Go Launcher in X Privacy and now it's working like a charm.
7/ If you don't have X Privacy installed, the problem maybe comes from another app.
I suggest that you uninstall one by one the apps you suspect to mess up your phone, and keep trying.
If you've a custom rom, you may seek help on the dedicated topic.
Good luck !
Found the solution..!
Whoever's havin' the direct-dial widget problem- I had the same problem & after a lot of head-scratchin' & tinkerin', it occured to me-
Go to Settings>Developer Options & see if the option "Do Not Keep Activities" is checked. If it is, uncheck it.
You're good to go..!
Direct Dial App Not Installed Error - Fixed
This is an old thread but decided to answer it here for others searching. I found it on a thread overseas.
Go to Settings/Apps/ scroll to and select your launcher Apk. Select the "Permissions" section and see whats not allowed and it will answer your questions. Enable Contacts, Phone at least. I enabled all of mine.

This worked for me in AIO Launcher. Needed to give phone permission. Many thanks.
With Nova Launcher, this started happening for me after a recent android system update.
None of the above solutions worked.
All my direct dial icons were previously created by going into the contacts app, selecting the contact, and adding to the home screen.
I was able to get it working, by long pressing the nova background - widgets - contacts - direct dial.
So, just adding it this way, somehow fixes it.
