This custom launcher even allows creation of widgets. When you open up the App Drawer in Launcher Pro Plus, you can choose between a standard 2D vertical scroll and a 3D scroll. The app also gives you the ability to hide apps you don’t need to see in your App Drawer. Really though, there’s not too much to customize in the App Drawer. At the bottom of each Home Screen is a dock which provides an option for you to have up to five apps in each dock. You can have up to three docks to scroll through (that’s a total of 15 apps being available on three separate screens). Launcher Pro Plus has beautiful widgets that make the app worth the money.

SlideScreen:

A new stylish app for Android Home Screen, Instead of several desktop style screens with widgets and icons, SlideScreen was only one screen, with sections for missed calls, emails, SMS, weather and time, Twitter, RSS and stocks. All useful stuff and you could “slide” the weather/time block up or down to expand the information. Francis and I love our Android phones, and thought this had the potential to add a great deal of functionality to our phones. This app is free you can download it bellow.

Power Strip: Multitasking Dock:

Power Strip: Multitasking Dock

Power Strip is a dock-like home application bringing up shortcuts and widgets right on your current activity. The key difference between Power Strip and other replacement home apps is that Power Strip doesn’t really have its own window. It’s more of an overlay that pops up on top of whatever it was you already had open.You have two ways to wear Power Strip on your phone. You can choose to use it as your home application, where it essentially replaces your native home screen. Or you can choose to keep your home application as it is, and activate Power Strip by long-pressing your phone’s search button.
When the app is open it has three panels that take up the bottom three-fifths of your screen. The bottom strip acts as tabs, where you can choose Apps, Shortcuts, Recent, or Context. Just above that is the Widget Strip, where you can add or remove links to any of the widgets that you have installed on your phone (notice I said links to). The top pane (what I’ll call the Viewer Pane) is the biggest, and changes depending on which tab or widget you have selected below. Hitting the Apps tab is the same as opening the default app drawer on your stock Android home screen–it shows all of your apps in the Viewer Pane. This app is free on android market you can download it bellow.
