[Request] hide apps from drawer.

When I had my adp1 we had advanced launcher which gave me the ability to hide certain apps so they wouldn't show up in the drawer. I hate having font packs and the like appear in my app drawer. I also hate having redundant apps (desktop shortcut plus being in the app drawer)
Is there anything like advanced launcher out there for sense?

I remove the apk's from /system/apps. That will completely remove the app from your phone (so don't do it to apps you want to keep on your home screen) but seems to work well for sprint/htc's crapware.

You can hide them in LauncherPro.

Ill probably get flamed for this, but I'm partial to the sense launcher. I don't much care for the aftermarket launchers. In afraid though, that I'm bit going to have a choice

This is a start, but I would still like to see this integrated into the sense launcher.

Sorry for the diversion
What software were you running on your adp?
I wonder if there's anything in the engineering pc36img.zip that would help..
Advanced Launcher was Sense?

On my adp1 it was typically an add on that required you to flash it over your rom or theme.

Just wondering, but why do you like Rosie more than LaucherPro? Please don't say "widgets" because there are equivalent widgets in LauncherPro Plus that are idential to those by HTC, and there are a ton in the Market with identical functionality.

I honestly like the way sense looks.

Best Homescreen replacement?

I loved to use adw in the past but recently the updates made it unusable for me... so i am looking for a replacement...
Maybe i should just stick to an old version of adw (i unfortunatly didnt backup mine before updating)
So what are you guys using?
Ps: and please dont tell me to google or "this thread already exists" coz i want new information

Yea, ADW has started crashing on ocassions, its really annoying. Dont know what alternative is good like this.

ADW ftw! Never had an issue with it.

I for one am interested in trying the LG Optimus launcher once we get Eclair. Im an organization freak so the customizable app drawer appeals to me. Also looking forward to trying Launcher Pro Plus with Eclair. Currently using ADW and have no problems.

Have you not tried the "group" feature in ADW? Open the app drawer and press the menu button - choose group - New catalog, name it, choose apps to be in it, then when you go into the app drawer you just press the menu button and choose your new group.

I had been using Slidescreen pro since last 3 weeks and with facebook and Google reader integration working with it,i have laid Timescape and the old ADW launcher to rest in peace.
I can assure you would get a different experience once you start using it........

Yeah i use the group feature. I like it but the LG has all apps on one screen with groups seperated by heavy lines with titles. Im being fussy here is all ADW is by far my fav to date. Just looking to try something new.

damn i have to write somewhere in my profile that i started to code my own stuff when i was 15 years old ...
sure i tried to reinstall, delete settings, reset, just restart, play with different settings and i even tried to talk to it (j/k)... none of the things worked ...
can you do me a favor and try to press and hold the home key to switch between recent apps and then press the home key again?
everytime i do this i have to set it as default home again - this is way more annoying then the little crashes i experience all the time and for me it makes adw totally useless now ...

thx guys ... and wtf i cant get it to work

try LIVEHOME which is also a home screen replacement, nearly the same as adw but has a few more features, one of them is transitions, you can flick through you home screens like pages in a book (love it). Try it out.

ok after playing around a lot with settings i have to apologize to my beloved adw launcher
ok it still crashes a lot in the newer version but my main problem - that it cant remember the default home - is on the stock android homescreen too so i guess somehow my software is ****ed up *cry* ...
guess i have to reflash (god damnit this **** is more buggy then windows 95)
edit: btw livehome looks really nice ... i like that you can change the icons in the drawer

Update: after reinstall and some hours later i got crashes again and that home-button problem too.
Now i set only the adw-homescreen to "dont auto-rotate" and i have no problems now.

Sensation Homescreens - post your here too

I somehow always thinks it's nice to see others homescreens, and maybe get some inspiration from it. So feel free to show off
So you're basically saying that you can make a screenshot if the phone is rooted?! Really makes sense
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yea, don't really need to root it to be able to take a screenshot. There are alot of apk's available for taking screenshots
I'm using MyPhoneExplorer for taking screenshots (doesn't require rooting).
Link to app for PC (Windows):
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php
Link to client (install on phone):
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client&feature=search_result
Works great via USB, didn't try over Bluetooth or WiFi (don't need right now).
To connect Android Phone, after install on Your PC, in Options, select "Device with Google Android OS" instead of "Sony Ericsson Phone with modem interface".
To take screenshot, go to "Additional" and select "Upload screenshot". Small window will appear, where You can see what Your phone actually displays, click on "Save as..." and You're done!
This app is powerfull to sync all data with Outlook, send SMS from Your PC, install *.apk applications from Your PC, make backups and stuff...

Try this

How did you get that tool bar at the bottom? Are you using a different Launcher than Sense 3.0?

What's MME? Is it in market? Thx.

Just use the damn SDK to take a screenshot. Not exactly hard is it...

My Homecreen - appears to raise some interest...
Therefore here the details:
ADWLauncher Ex, 7 x 5 (columns/rows)
y0rk's Black ADW theme
Tool bar at the bottom: Main dock with 5 icons
Screen 1: Weather Widgets v14.9 (linked to HTC weather and HTC clock)
Screen 2: PowerControl; Pure Music widget; Pure Calendar widget;
Screen 3. Elixir widgets
Screen 4: Droid stats; Puer messenger widget
Cheers

MyMobileExplorer (known as well as myPhoneExplorer). not in the market, but free donloads everywhere - replaces HTC Sync.
Definitely better with XP, but no longer required with W7, since the outlook syncronisation problem with XP (contact pictures and items) is now solved.
And in combo with Navigon, it is mandatory to have a good outlook sync, since Navigon uses the outlook addresses.
Cheers
PS: After 2 wekks, I love my Sensation - incredible fast - Navigon rocks like a charm - best mobile so far (my wife has the IShit4 - all the complaints about the display - forget it - the HTC is at least as briliant as the fruit)

For some reason, I've read it backwards
BTW, the task widget in that link works, but it's buggy.
It's not built for Sensation's screen...

Once you download it you'll need to put in on your memory card. After that you'll need a file manager (install ES file explorer or Astro file manager from the market). Than use the file manager to navigate to the apk on the memory card and start it
But you won't like the widget... The buttons are messed up.
Better get something different from the market

Hey thanks to all who answered me, sadly i do have to say it did not work the buttons were off center and it was a bit small but when you clicked the add button and then done it would not add a task but thank you for all your help it will help from here on. I am going to try and find another version. MUCH APPRECIATED

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but want to throw out an offer here rather than starting a new thread. I'd be willing to pay someone if they could get the task widget fixed to run on the Sensation. As stated in the thread, it works but its buggy. If interested, shoot me a PM.

Oh man, thats one of my favorite widgets from HTC. Hopes someone can modify it...

mine too! now i'm cnm 7.1.0.1 and the only thing that i realy miss is the htc note widget. how can i get it back?

Back to Sense ROM it's the only way to have sense widgets working.

I love that little apk too but sadly not able to use it on my sensation.
However, you can try TO DO LIST WIDGET (by Chrisbailey).
I use to replace Work 2.0. You need to change the default setting a little to make it look like Work. (The settings is very visualized and easy to setup.)
Although its not 100% the same (looks and functions similar enough though).

[Request] widget to open phone log

Sorry if this the wrong forums.
I'd really like a shortcut to phone log I can add to the static part of the screen.
I hardly ever use the phone to dial, just calling old numbers, is there any way to get this?
(Yes I realize it's incredibly lazy not to want to open phone and tap the log section, but that's why I got android, it makes it posible to skip unnessesary steps like this.)
Very happy if someone can help or know an app that does this?
Thanks

EASY!

Howdy Dude,
if you are running ADW you can.
1. long press on desktop
2. select add custom shortcut
3. press pick activity
4. press activities
5. scroll down to contacts
6. expand contacts, then find
7. call log(.callslist.RecentCallsListActiviy)
8. press ok and the shortcut will be on one of your home screens
it's prety cool it doesn't show the 4 buttons at the botom just the list on the screen.
you can do this on most launchers from the market i think. i use adw tho so yeah.
hope that helps.
Pvy.

Sorry, forgot to say, I'm on wolfbreaks 3.9.0 as of right about now.
You think it's posible to use adw with this rom?
Thanks
Edit, it does and it's amazing, I can even get a 100% clean home screen, very happy with this, thanks a lot!
