application launcher - General Topics

Hi all,
has anybody got a good application launcher that will work with the new XDaIIi at all please? I'm looking for something as close to "claunch" as possible. Or better yet "claunch" for the new product range. I particularly like the ease of configuring claunch with the options on size and tab field epth etc.
I've tried out a couple of app launchers so far but noything quite right yet.
Any thoughts?
Pete

(Request) Programs i wish existed !

hey everyone just thought id bring some of my program ideas to the board
if anyone is interested in making them as i have no programming knolage..
ok the 1st is a wmp skin creator i have searched since wm3 was out for something like this but never found it i mean common its only a skn file thats got text in it shud be easy iv got lots of skin ideas but just dont have time to finish them as it took me ages to make my darkling skin
ok the 2nd green one is a Pen Optimized Skin for Longhorn-era Tablet PCs wich i think is realy cool ui (winhec today)
so i developed on the idea and tryed making it more pda/ppc related
and came up with the end 3 images.
and my last idea was a origami umpc style fullscreen keyboard
i was going to make this in spb fsk but recently all the codeing has
changed for the skins so im hoping someone can come up with
an alternative hopefully free version or even make this ?
let me know what you think of these ideas.
I like your keyboard idea. Its a really interesting form.
It should be a little smaller though.
I'm thinking as an option, that the keyboard should be split in the middle to reduce the size, with no symbols showing
I also like your 3rd idea.
I haven't used ThrottleLauncher, but it seems like it would be a good skin for it.
I'm not a programmer either, I just like to design stuff, think of program ideas too.
more then a whole year and no one found anything,or didnt post..
I'm liking the keyboard layout too.
im working on he keyboard idea but will be for Wvga as anything smaller would be silly i think

G-Tab: Observation and question about UI

Finally got my hands on my G Tablet today. I must have the newer one that Rushless mentioned...mine appeared to be a finished product right out of the box. Even the TNT UI seemed to work pretty well. I think it's got a little ways to go to be "great", but it was pretty good already.
Anyway, I installed TNT light after about an hour. I wanted the Android Market and wanted to see YouTube working. Rooting and installing the new ROM was easy, but it leaves me wanting a hybrid of the two interfaces. Most ROMS (maybe all ROMS?) are put together with the idea of running on a smartphone. The TNT UI from Viewsonic seemed to be pretty well thought out for use on a Tablet.
So, my question is this: Are there any Market apps that would mimic the homescreen layout of a tablet? I can't see staying with the TNT Lite UI because it's just like having a giant cell phone. Reminds me of those giant calculators you buy as a gag-gift for old people!
I like the flexibility of TNT Lite. Choose my own background, no restrictions for apps, Flash works, etc. But the layout isn't really "tablet-like".
What do you guys suggest for apps? Or, is there a way to recreate the panels that TNT has?
Thanks!
i think it may be nice to just find really nice widgets. you'll be able to build it all how you want and still have a fast and responsive ui
Agreed. But so far I haven't found any Widgets that are the right size for the G Tab. Anyone have any suggestions?
Maybe I should ask this another way (to hopefully get more responses ).
Is there a way to customize the stock TapNTap ROM that comes standard on the G Tab? It would be nice to have their panelled layout AND customize the background images, colors, etc.
I wonder how hard it would be for someone to develop a Froyo based ROM that is specifically made for a 10" tablet. I've done a little development in my past, but only Windows based stuff.
Have you tried Beautiful Widgets?
If you want a "tablet-like" UI. You can try one of those HC roms~
a HC rom is the way to go for the tablet-like UI, but search for keywords like "tablet" when in the android market for tablet supported apps

you really ressurected an 8 month old thread to give a guy advice on the UI? Countless roms and launchers have been developed since then, I sincerely doubt that he's still having issues 8 months later.

Bigger text in menus etc? Possible?

Hi all,
I would like to buy a Transformer. It looks great.
But I have a problem with my eyesight. I am short sighted and therefore need everything bigger on the screen. Be bigger I mean I use 4 times magnification on my laptop screen. Everything means everything: icons, menus, text, everything.
Is it possible? How?
Thanks in advance.
The guy at my local shop mentioned using a different theme or skin? Would that be the answer? Thoughts?
hi,
i own a transformer and i'm looking for a way to change font and/or icon size too. not for me but me wife is visually impaired and needs a working screen magnifier to use the tablet.
i did a lot of research in the internet but until now i haven't found a solution.
theer are serverl apps for mobile devices (spare parts, lcd densitiy, etc.) but none of them seems to work as supposed on the transformer.
so i think until now there is no way to do what we are looking for. but if you fid a solution please let me know.
With adw ex i know you can change the icon size and the font size for the icons.
thx, i will give it a try

[REQ] Pulling a 360 Launcher Widget into another Launcher.

I've been looking around for solutions, and I cant seem to find anything on here specifically addressing the issue at hand, or giving a definitive yes or no to other users' related questions.
My issue is that I, like many other users, like to constantly keep the look of my phone fresh, so I'm always updating themes, and trying different launchers. I've settled into 360 launcher for about 6 months now, and really like all the nice themes, the cube-style screen transitions, and especially, I'm a HUGE fan of the 'Cleaner 360' widget. This little guy does the same thing that Autokiller Memory Optimizer's 'Memory Recall' widget does, but it frees up literally twice the amount of RAM!
Now ive come to the point where I want to change things up again, but I REALLY want to keep that cleaner widget. Does anyone have the knowledge to pull that widget out as an APK or any way to load it up in SPB Shell?

[Q] Interested in printing currently active icon theme for use in Zooper widget

Hi, all!
I, and I'm sure many of you as well, have a lot of icon themes / sets installed to my device (currently a VZW Samsung Galaxy Note 3). Lately, I've been sticking with Nova Launcher Prime, and I've noticed that I can click through a few layers of menu to see my currently active icon set. I tend to change these sets pretty often, and sometimes I can't remember which one I'm running. Now, granted the answer is only a few taps away at any given moment, but I'm interested in hooking into wherever Nova is storing that variable and making it available to Zooper Widget Pro so that I can stick it in a cute little box on my home screen.
Yes, this is more an academic pursuit than a functional necessity, but does anyone have any idea if that's doable, and even better where I would start?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Tom.
