Panoramic LaunchPad. If the Sense shortcuts aren't enough.

Hi
I just installed an application launcher called "Panoramic LaunchPad".
http://www.panoramicsoft.com/mobileapps/launchpad/LaunchPad.php
I use it for my games so when I press the LaunchPad shortcut in Manila Sense I get a nice page with all my games.
The default LaunchPad icon is a rocket but I changed it into a games icon instead since I use it for games only.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here are three examples of what it looks like. You can have between 12 and 35 icons per page depending on the icon size.
When Lanchpad is launched you can slide left or right to get ANOTHER 12-35 icons. That's up to 70 icons in total!!
I've only used it for about an hour so I have no idea about how stable it is or if there are any bugs. I was just looking for an application launcher for my games and this is what I found. If you know other programs that do the same I would be very interested in trying them out.

I used Panoramic Launchpad for a while, it is stable and works fine. I removed it though because it's designed as a replacement for the start menu I think. Whenever I pressed start on top left instead of WM default it brought up Launchpad. That was fine for a while, but I went back to normal start menu. Prefer the look of the default. One thing that is good about the launchpad is you can shortcut to folders too.

A shortcut to folders, that would be nice.

Yes, that was the default behaviour after I installed it too. I didn't like it so in the settings I just "Set Start Menu icon" to "off" which removed that feature

Free to trial and only $3.99 to buy... Where's the catch...?
I'm going to give it a go and see what it can do. Thanks for the tip!

I agree!! Shortcuts from Manila to folders in the start menu would be awesome!! Does that exist?

+1
especially that Panoramic lanchPad not using Icons mod
hoping that we get a Tab Program in Manila with unlimited number of short cuts

This is a nice program indeed. Thanks for sharing.
I want to ask... how can you make the Launchpad shortcuts without the text labels? I used max manila and those shortcuts always come with labels of the software title.
Thanks!

Just set "Show name:" to "Off" in the Options menu inside Panoramic Launcher.

I didn't realise you could change the settings so it doesn't overwrite the default start menu. Might give it another go then, and use it for a games folder or something like you have. Guess I should of played around with it more. Bought it ages ago from the Marketplace.

Top Right `X`
Don’t use the top Right `X` sure it closes LaunchPad ok but then you will find the X that used to access Task-manager from your Toutchflow is now permanently disabled or at least until you do a power down!
Also Launchpad does not have this X to access Task-manager . . . so how do you see which Apps are running, and close any while Launchpad is running
Ok so I’m using the HTC Diamond touch?

[ICON PACK] [MORPHS] Droidz Extended |Update: 29.Sept|

Hi all!
[ICON PACK]
I've collected your wishes, and put together a few droid guy icons, similar to manup456's Droid iconset.
Credits go to him for the great idea to create the original icon pack, and the basic android icon. I couldn't do this without that.
You can find the original droid icons here.

}
Download droidz_ext.zip, extract to a folder on your sd. Apply them with Desktop Visualizer, or ADW Launcher icon replacer.
[NEW!]
A good guy, tskramp made many new icons for this thread, now they are available in the new (droidz_ext.zip) zip. Thanks for him!
Here they are:
MY LATEST UPDATES:
I've added an apk installer, it contains the icon pack. It is much easier to apply the icons with this. In Desktop Visualizer choose icon packs option instead of android image gallery.
Big thanks to djmcnz, the creator of the great rom bundle, Kang-O-Rama!
[MORPHS]
Statusbar:
I've added 2 metamorph zips.
The first (DroidzExtended.zip) contains a semi-transparent white statusbar, with custom (mainly android guy) notification icons.
The second one (DroidzExtended_transbar.zip) is the same as the first, but with fully transparent statusbar, with a little shadow effect.
Open zip with Metamorph as a new theme, let it extract, and then apply all.
These are my first morphs, any feedback is apperciated.
Screenshots:
Twitter, inc.
Here's something I did today. This is for Official Twitter app. It's not perfect yet, I couldn't make the smaller widget transparent, because of Twitter's special image handling. But I've added a little twitter droid to that too.
First you have to move com.twitter.android.apk from data/app to system/app. Then download Translucent_twitter zip from below, and apply it via Metamorph.
Screenshot:
Download links: see attached files
And a half-kanged wallpaper (I've only put the Droids onto it

great job on these. just wondering though, do you have a blank image of just the android holding both arms out. i've been wanting to make a few of these myself but needed that and didn't see it in the original pack.

you and manup are AWESOME for these!!! is there any way you can make an icon with the phone icon on it that manup uses on his nextheme? i was suprised he didnt make one his self. it is his theme after all lol

Thanks , finally got bettercut working with helix 2 and loving my setup ... Thanks again for the sick icons

Thanks a bunch!!
ANDROID FTW!!

I strongly regommend Folder Organizer to change icons, it puts them in much better quality than Better cut, plus they won't be buggy because of bad linking (for example Gallery force closed, when I added it either with Better Cut, or Freedhome, or the web browser always restarted when I used the custom icon to start).

[THEME][LauncherPro] Sense-esque for Launcher Pro

So Since launcher pro doesn't really lend itself to being completely switched to the HTC Sense layout (though it's doable), and I prefer being able to have more than 3 items on my dock anyways, I decided to make a skin Based on The Sense bar that works more in the launcher pro environment. the borders between buttons have been removes, and there is less curve, so more icons will look ok on the edges. Still I usually have to scale down any icons I use though. Anyways, here's some screenshots.
The dock was made based on this file Credit to the original author.
I have included a few of the wallpapers I made that go well with this theme, and the original HTC Sense wallpaper scaled for the DX.
I HIGHLY recommend "Wallpaper Set and Save" to apply wallpapers, as it doesn't resample images at all, and gradients will still look smooth.
I am using Webst3r's SenseX 2.2 beta theme for the notification bar and stuff.
Link
Also I am on 210 display density using LCD density changer.

Some of the launcher icons included are from scratch, some were modified from launcherpro's default icons.
This one is using the Labradorite.png wallpaper that I made, and the homescreen switchers for two of the shortcuts.
UPDATE V02: All the same icons the LP has by default are included in this in a form factor and style to fit.
The zip file includes a PSD file for the icons I have made already, in case you want to see my scale and make your own icons.
DOWNLOAD v02 This link is hosted by me. Please try it before using the attachment file as if there are updates to this, mine will be up to date first.

damn that looks great. actually tempts me to finally go through with deodexing (makes me hella nervous).

only the notification theme needs deodexing. the LP part will work fine without.
Thanks btw!

Looks great May use it on my N1. Shouldn't be an issue.

Thank you sir im gonna use this on my droid

Going to be updating this in a few minutes with all of the icons that launcher pro has, in form factor for this dock.
EDIT: The link now points to the newest version with the new icons.

haha yea i know, but i liked your setup so much that i went ahead and deodexed because i would like the same exact thing on my phone.
this is where you installed the theme from, right?: http://alldroid.org/default.aspx?g=posts&t=770
right now im on the early leaked froyo, is that what you're using? a lot of ppl have posted recently saying they're getting stuck in bootloop after trying to install the SenseX theme and i think it may be because of the OTA Froyo update. so being on the leaked froyo i'm hoping this theme still works. i'll go ahead and apply the theme based on your response.

well against my better judgement i went ahead and installed the SenseX theme lol. i only installed services.jar and framework-res.apk since i'm gonna be using your LP dock and didn't want the reskinned widgets. worked great, looks great. thanks a lot!

thanks, again!

How do you install this theme on launcher pro?? im lost

I would like to have this theme installed but I have absolutely no idea how to install a launcher pro theme? Please help
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

hey how do you do that background on the app menu? thats pretty cool

thumbs up for the theme and thumbs up for listening to Junip
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the files
2. copy all the files to your SD-card
3. once installed launcher-pro press the menu key and select "preferences" --> Appearance Settings --> Dock background --> custom --> select the "dock" folder you previously uploaded to the SD-card and select the only file which is there: Sense-esqueDock.png
4. Long click somewhere in the dock for changing a shortcut --> decide which shortcut you want to use --> custom icon --> select one of the images you previously uploaded.
5. play around with the settings if you want to have scrollable dock: press the menu key and select "preferences" --> dock settings --> Number of docks and eventually --> Enable loop scrolling.
Hopes this helps..

[HOMESCREEN] Cover Flow Home screen

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
ok so this is a little guide on how to get the 'cover flow' style homescreen. first off, i think some of you (ok well a small minority) will be happy to know that it doesnt require root. all you need is launcher pro or adw luncher and multipicture live wallpaper. now there is a drawback to this method, which is you cant change your wallpaper unless you edit the .psds provided. oh and just for the record i am currently using miui rom but it is not needed. ok so here we go.
1) download the coverflowwallpapers.zip containing the wallpaper for each page
2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
3) get rid of the dock bar and icons from the launcher. it would be a good idea to set a swipe gesture to show the app drawer so you still have access to all your apps. i would also recommend changing the number of home screen rows to 5 to compensate for the row lost due to the thumbnails.
4) download MultiPicture live wallpaper from the market.
5) go to select wallapaper/live wallapers/then select multipicture and then press settings
5) using the images you downloaded from this post and change the wallpaper for each page. (seeing as im a nice guy i numbered them for you)
6) finally, got to the transition type and choose your favourite one. i chose to go with wipe as it makes the thumbnails look like they are rotating but some of the others look great too.
so there it is. hopefully this tutorial isnt too hard to follow. also if you have your won ideas/modifications, post them here cos i wanna see them too
heres a crappy video of it in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx0uGYOUWR0

thanks for doing this! trying it now.

2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
How'd you make it default?

Hit the home button and then a prompt will show your available home screens and launchers. Check the radio button on the bottom of the pop up and select adw or launcherpro. You can clear the "default" if you decide to do something else and not use LP or ADW.

after downloading a new launcher from the market, press the home button and it should give you an option to which launcher you want to go to. check the make default option and then press the launcher you want.

ok, how do I get rid of the dock bar and how do I set a gesture for getting it back?

The way I am doing it is by replacing the icons with a blank icon. Essentially the icons are still there, but invisible and I can still assign a swipe up gesture if I wanted to.

You probably don't want to use the term "cover flow" as I would be willing to bet Apple has a trademark on that term.

2 things :
1. first and foremost, thank you for actually listening to us and making this available for us to use.
2. since no one is really taking the initiative can you make several different walls and icons for us?
Thanks,

sorry I simply don't have the time to do that. this setup was initially made for me but some people asked me to share how I done it so I did. I knew not everyone would like the wallpaper and/or icons which is I why I uploaded the .psd file. there's only so much I can. also it doesn't seem like many people are interested but that's cool as i know this kind of setup is not for everyone.

Don't be discouraged. I've liked this setup since I first saw it--it's very different. If I hadn't just rehauled my own homescreens, I'd be slavishly copying yours.
I do have the time and tools to make something out of your .psd too, so maybe when I get home (i.e. to the PC with photoshop installed) I might try my hand at it.

[APP] Moogly to-do list widget

Hi everyone! Im the developer of Moogly, a simple but useful todo list widget that started as a project for Honeycomb. The pr is after the break.
There have been reports that it doesnt work properly on some devices! If someone could be so kind as to try the Lite version and if it doesnt stretch properly, send me some screenshots and log files!
You can also post issues at the main thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202211
Thanks in advance!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOOGLY
A simple but powerful to do list widget designed to be customized. Now with auto-hiding buttons!
Features:
★ Multiple independent, scrollable widgets
★ Quick, dialog based entry
★ Tick to delete or mark complete
★ Widgets are optimized for Honeycomb
★ Predefined themes or total customization
★ RTL support
★ Custom image backgrounds
This widget was inspired by To Do List from HTC Sense - for some reason, they were the only ones to get it right.
Lite Market link - restricted to 8 entries and only one widget
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.moogly.lite&feature=search_result
Screens:

Hi. I'm on Prime 1.7. Moogly lite installed, the widget showed up immediately in my widget list. Added a widget to my homescreen and entered the maximum 3 entries, changed the theme, resized the widget and deleted entries. All worked as intended/ expected. Nice app

Phew. However, would it be possible to get some feedback from someone on stock as well please?

Works perfectly on rooted stock 3.2, awesome app

Running stock 3.2 not rooted
Works perfect. Widget loaded with no problems.
How about sending me the proversion for testing.

I could, but the license would expire in 20 minutes and you have to spend a whopping $0.99 to get it working again...

lol that is exactly what i charge to evaluate your free one.

Works well on stock unrooted device. Added to the compatible apps list. Good job.

Can you add a function too adjust the transparency of the image placed as a background.

Great idea! It will go to the top of the list.

how about an option to put a title ( without the check off space) on each to do list.

Ill think about it - it might ruin the whole minimalist thing im going for. Will try and see though...

As a suggestion, I would name the widget "Moogly - To DO List" or something along those lines. I thought I had messed something up when looking through the M section of my widgets.

Eh? Im not sure i understand...

When I go to add the widget, I find it under 'To Do-list' (edit: actually it is found under the first number in the size)
I was looking for 'Moogly'
Its minor, just a suggestion.

I still don't understand. In the widget picker the app is simply called moogly... once you pick moogly, you get 2x2 to do list, 2x4 to do list, etc.
Its not an issue, its supposed to be like that.

But it isn't, at least on my tab.

shrug, if I'm the only one, I'll get over it =P.
I'll try to reboot again and see if that might fix it. Reboot didn't fix it.

Oh i see what you mean now!
The problem is that on a phone it uses a different logic - ie, once youve chose moogly in the picker, a second menu opens with the sizes... so it makes sense to give them those titles.
I think as a compromise im going top add filler graphics to the HC picker menu.
