Now guys know me as a LauncherPro Fan - but there is a new home launcher that is coming out and is still in its beta stage but has a bucket load of potential! i introduce

REGINA 3D Launcher

PROS
now this launcher has beautiful elements such as full 3D display scrolling, page naming and integrated widgets such as clock, weather, todo list, etc. and looks damn sexy but it also quick to load and run and takes up very little memory so it rarely FC's if at all. with continued work, this launcher could eventually become better than ADW and even Launcherpro - and the best part ITS FREE

CONS
It is still in its beta stage so it has alot of missing elements that would make it amazing. IMO it needs more widgets, like email, bookmarks, facebook and news would be nice. also needs support for scrollable widgets and the ability to resize widgets.. it could use more customization options in settings and themes - but hey, all things in time right?

Looks decent. Are the icons not grid-locked? Cause I seeing some out of line.
The apps are more responsible for the widgets more than the launcher arent they? Cause I'm looking on a facebook widget in one of the home screens there. The apps are responsible for their widgets and how they work.
I definitely agree with you on the scrollable apps tho, I had to change to the Nexus S launcher on my captivate cause I couldn't stand the touchwiz page flipping thing, touchwiz was the main reason I even bothered to root the captivate, in addition to all the restrictions AT&T had on the phone.

no the icons arent grid-locked, but i never noticed cuz only use widgets on my displays. that secret workspace look like the place u wanna hide ur porn lol but anyway..

to me the amount of things missing is quite numerous. the main reason i switched back to LP after trying it out is because LP has more settings and more customization currently than this app.. but regardless for its stage of development i gave it 4/5 because its a good home launcher but to get the xtra 1 it needs more to be added before it can fully replace LP in ma heart
