1) This has been discussed many times. TouchFlo is designed to work in landscape mode, if we force it it look like crap and nothing will fit.
2) aHome is not a build >.>
If we were going to get landscape TouchFlo the image on the phone tab is the least of our worries.
why not try to disable the keyboard-open listener in rosie, since that seems to be the only problem? rosie"s not made to work in landscape, so disabling the listener is much easier than actually making rosie work with a physical kb

I like this idea. I don't know anything about android coding but I think it might be possible with baksmali and smail...right?
I just really want to know, why are people so obsessed with having TouchFlo in landscape?! HTC never designed for Rosie to work in landscape so even if we could get it to rotate nothing would fit on the screen vertically...

Yeah I agree it would look absolutley horrible in landscape because that's NOT WHAT HTC intended
except from what i've read places it will be available in landscape mode eventually. as the lancaster has a landscape version that will come out....I could be wrong but i'll see if i can find the post
i think its not that they want it to work in landscape per say, but they want it to not forceclose or crash when they accidently go back to home while the keyboard is open. so i like the listener idea. hope it gets fixed in future hero rom

Hy Guys....
just a quick question to all Manilla Chefs out there....
i had the idea to edit the Manilla, when its possible, to get a Sliding Manilla...
i mean if you look at the iPhone, when you drag the Screnns to the side the next Screenwill smoothly slide in...
in Manilla, whipping with the finger on the screen just manilla jumps to the next page...
i think it shouldn't be the Problem to get the pages too slide, the bottom slider did the trick allready... just want this "goodie" on the hole manilla...
and i doenst need to get the greyed out and big tab Icons while sliding...
hope you understand what i mean...
just an idea but someone has some ideas or knowledge to did this trick!
I remember when the Diamond and Manila 1.0 first came out, there was an animation each time you changed tabs in Manila. It was deacticated later since it was way too slow and people wanted their TF3D experience fast and snappy.
its not very handy to have the slide function as per iphone as:
say you want to go to the second last page, the mannilla scroll bar allows to get there in a single controlled swype but if you had the page scroll like the iphone you would have to scroll through each page or scroll backwards (if its possible) to get to that page.
the point im trying to make is the iphone scroll may well look pretty but the single swipe manilla scroll bar is far more efficient! ask yoursel, is it usefull?
I understand that it wouldn't work very well if it were like the iPhone. Personally I would just like to see the animation back like it was when the diamond came out, I know it was slow then but surly out snapdragon should lap it up now?......
i can confirm that i had the multi swap idea earlier...
nothing to complain about that... this not as handy like now is...
but it looks more smooth...
i found a youtube video where you can see the "old" manilla style did this... its not just swipe the page... .. that was the cause because htc calls his interface 3D ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6TLqDcAJDo
look around 5:40 .... there the guy starts to use it...
maybe its still in the sense? only disabled as we did on tfl3d on diamond by our own? any one knows the keys anymore?? just searched the forum but didn't find something...
hey correct me if i'm wrong...
the 3d slide effects only happens on diamond when clicking a tab...
when sliding the figer over the tab bar it is like in sense 2.5 ... big curtain with big tab icon will apear??

No, fading effects were removed in latest updates to speed up transitions.
It's not due to tweaks, it's due to ROM update.
To get them back install older version of Manila with fade effects.

I agree, i think it looks crap when you swipe and tap and a tab and there is no animation. If it faded or slide it would be much better. Even the old style was really nice. I think it actually makes it feel more responsive too because its doing a animation while the page loads

Have a try with MaxManila 2.5 v 2.7 Main beta: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551489
This gives you the possibility to swype from page to page (from left to right or vice versa).
what??? Where can i set this in MaxManila??? It´ll delete the animation for the shortcuts... but i cant see an option for a page sliding....

the only way to find this out is to install MaxManila 2.5 version 2.7 beta. After that you'll see that you're able to swype from left to right or vice versa without using the "bottom icons slider". It also will not delete your shortcut animations. It even will allow you to hide the shortcuts and bring them back with a swype of your finger from bottom to top of the screen. Read the post of the OP carefully to understand what this theme does.

........ok so u can slide without with from tab to tab... but the thread means a SLIDING ANIMATION...
would it be possible to take the animation files from the old manila and adapt them for sense?

ok doesn't really understand what you mean...
i can also swipe without maxmanilla without using the tabslider from page to page!!
just wipe obe the main aera...
what we want to get is an animation between the page slides...
dooing this now just jumps from one page to the other... not nice, and it feels and looks like a bit rough ... not as smooth as iphone did this... and i think the smoothnes factor that many iphones users evertime despite is this sluggish hopping page changing in manilla....
Microsoft did it a way better in the new 6.5 Starmenu... just look great and give a good feel...
also the Tab Slides is "animated" like we wannt... why HTC didn't do that onthe "mainpages" ???

maybe yes...
its a starting point to look into an old cab and looks what manilla files did there...
but i'm far away from knowing the manilla depths that we need to implement them...
maybe one of the manilla gurus out there do the trick for us poor people
it would be so nice... if we can slide to the half...hold...and back... like in Iphone Today or Mobile Shell....
Update:
I have put one for OS 2.1 version. this one is with scrollbar, no customized screens yet. 800k looks very small.
------------------
hi all friends,
I have mod the original launcher little bit, to add a screen indicator, the source code version is 1.6.
how to install :
Code:
adb remount
adb push Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk
Hope you like it.
updated, change the indicator picture little bit.
if you want to change it, the images are under res\drawable-port and res\drawable-land
I put a 2.1 version in the attachment. with scrollbar instead of image .
thanks.
Looks cool
This is pretty cool, I have often wished Android came with this functionality by default.
I made some screenshots in case people want to see without pushing the apk. They're JPG so obviously it looks a little better on the phone.
Keep in mind this Launcher has 3 screens, so if you're coming from a 5-screen Launcher you'll have to re-organise your icons beforehand.

Yeah, reminds me the bottom lines on Home++, its great.
I wonder if it's possible to change either anderweb's or this one to be similar to the scroll bar on sense roms or espresso.

I make the mod by several line of code, if make the scrollbar, I think need more coding. let me think if it's possible.

when i first saw AnderWeb's launcher, that's the first thing that i tried to do, but really haven't figured out something yet. The closest I came was the sense ui in my adw themed launcher2 thread. i do agree. Getting this will be awesome! Seems like we are slowly but surely gettin' donut to run like sense/2.0 without having to ever switch roms. All thanks to the great devs we have here on xda. Keep up the good work!
looks lots of people like sense ui.
Afaik, the sense scrolling thing is pretty much the same as nexus scrolling dots with a minor annoyance:
-if you do it graphically identical (following the circular pattern on the drawer 5ab) you are condemned to a fixed number of screens by design.
-if you want customizable screen number, it can be done the same way as Home++ does, with a bottom stright line (same way as the mod on this thread)
so users need to make the choice
It shouldn't be too hard to implement the sense bar, the rogers magic on cupcake has it. i myself hate the sense iu

I wouldn't mind sticking with a set number of homescreens. I myself have become accustomed to using just five homescreens and that alone. I think 5 is plenty, but I'm just one guy and other people have different desires and needs. I wouldn't mind seeing it put into action. I am very much a big fan of sense ui, if you haven't already noticed. lol

I would try it on super d, and post feed back.
Summarize all friends' comment,
1, scroll bar would be better.
2, customized number of screen would be better.
I have tried Cookies Home Tab, so far I like it...but I have not gotten a chance to try 'maxManila' and I was wondering if you all could provide some pros vs cons, or at least tell me which you personally would prefer and why (if possible)? Or even just tell me what are the differences, or just main differences ?
This would be very helpful... thank you very much in advance and I hope to hear from you all soon! ...
+1. I'd like to know too.
I personally prefer MaxManila. It's very easy to customize, allows you to (re)arrange your homescreen to your own needs (mine is almost empty, besides clock-weather-date and notification icons - no slider). It's compatible with a lot of other cabs/tweaks/progs. It's stable as a rock. I also used Cookie's Home tab for a short while but, at least on my HD2, it is not as stable as MaxManila and it's relatively power hungry (who needs 48 shortcuts anyway?).
Of course this is my personal opinion. Both mods are absolutely great but, alas, they can't function together, thus choices have to be made: MaxManila
There's a release of Co0kie's Home Tab coming soon that should shake things up a little
in cookies you have a nice function to slide your icons from page 1,2 and 3
but in max you have the nice clock functions like the analog clock,and pic your own wallpaper for the animations(animated wallpaper).
i think maxmanila is more fun and cookies more for business
Mostly a question of preference, you should try both and see what you prefer. Maxmanila is not for me, I don't care the slightest about being able to move stuff around, change clock, change borders, sliders,... the stock Sense look is excellent. But I really like having my 3 pages of 5x4 shortcuts, appointments, or empty home screen CHT allows for...

Not for me either, but coockie has announced earlier that adjustable clocks are on his to do list (for the upcoming version). I prefered Max but when coockie introduced his 1.6.1 version (7th of March) I caved...as said above...more for business, but I do miss Max's adjustable clocks.
Coockie's new version should close that gap I sure hope so
I miss the slide function from page to page from my long gone HTC Hero, so I prefer cookie's mod. Maxmanila is good if u like to change the clock and wallpaper often with just some simple and quick click. U should give maxmanila a try to see what u prefer more

i am just asking.
Does anyone know if this is possible or available. Would be so nice.
To have a carousel function (similar to the SBP Shell panels carousel) that can either replace the sense slider or work as a stand alone app.
That would definitely be cool, but I am pretty sure there is nothing like that at the moment.
I agree, would be nice!
But not going to happen...

it would be better if you can Flick the home screen up and down endlessly like a kinda cirkel,
don't know if you'll understand my idea but like this,
if you Flick up you can get to the manila player, further up you'll get to albums further up you get a blank page it would be cool of you can put widgets over there and you flick again you get cookies home tab and another flick to get back at manila home screen.
hope ya'll understand my idea
sorry for my english

I sort of get what u mean. That would be sort of similar to the current sense slider but with 2 differences; Upwards/downwards scrolling instead of side to side. And different animation style for the transition of each page (flip, fold, flick etc). Nice idea...bu I would prefer the carousel better.
Had a look around the SPB shell threads and got the impression that there may be legal / patent related stuff that means the "carousel" is only for "spb mobile shell". So currently using both on my HD2 and a neat toggle switch app to change between Sense & SPB. ALthough SPB is nice (lots of eye candy) I prefer Sense (smoothness & speed) but would love that carousel or something similar.
I know nothing about apps & programming (should have paid more attention in IT classes) so just hoping someone here latches onto the idea.
