Thanks dud. Looks nice

Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for! Great job!
After applying the entire widgets.zip and even the individual search, the search bar widget remains non-transparent. Any clues?

Maybe your not using Launcher2.apk?

where can i get the lower 4-icon tray for my CM 5.0.5.2 build?

Get the modded launcher2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641216

Same here, I am using Launcher 2, but great job Britoso!

This is great work, but I'm still mainly trying to get the genie widget in a transparent via morph or recovery. Searching Nexus threads and coming up empty handed here.

Nice work, Thanks!

Why are you using launcher 2? I think Launcher is better

It skips genie.apk for me. Also, search is still not transparent, but I'd prefer it that way.

On the money!

Have you managed to get the Buzz widget transparent? It doesn't work out for me even tho I've signed it.

the news and weather are not coming up transparent.suggestions?all others are ok.excellent work

I tried uninstalling, deleting, force reinstalling, signing....
Either get a "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION" or "INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE".
note: The widget apk is named com.google.android.apps.updates.widget.apk

If I wanted to undo the calendar morph, how would I go about doing that? Is there a way to restore the original calendar look? Thanks

[Launcher] Sweeter Home Beta 2 & How to use guide [Theme]Spee Simple

After recently having a play around with this cool new launcher i thought it may be worth sharing with everyone on here.
PLEASE NOTE: this program is still in BETA and has not yet got a market release
Sweeter home is an alternative Launcher that delivers:
- Highly customisable Docks and App Draws (text, colour, borders, ect)
- Support for all android Widgets
- 5 screens (left, right, up, down) - not yet editable
- "springboard" buttons easily show & hide Custom trays and even widgets (by far the coolest feature)
- Ability to save upload and download themes quickly from a built in market
- Ability to save themes to SD
APK is available from
http://www.sweeterhome.com/
Some screens of My x10 Running sweeter home - My theme can be downloaded under Spee_Simple
Framework - X10 res mod v1.5
Widgets used - Switchpro size 3 - Beautiful weather 1x1 - Beautiful weather 4x1 - Mixzing media player Large

--- How it works ---
Sweeter home is a new take on a launcher that offers high levels of customisation
the launcher will seem a little overwhelming at first but stick with it and post any questions you may have in this thread
Basically, The themes are made up of trays, these contain text and apps, these trays can be controlled to turn on/off by items called springboards,
see my above screens,
I have written down a few things ive learnt so far i hope they may be of help to you
--- A Quick Guide to making your own theme ---
1 - To create a new theme from scratch press your options key and click edit theme,
Pressing options again and clicking more will enable you to start a new theme from scratch
Now you have 5 blank screens (up, down, left, right) to add things to
2 - Either long press or click options and select "New" to see a list of objects which can be added to your screen
All Applications - a drawer of all of your applications
Calendar - Sweeterhome built in calendar that displays events
Contact list - a Scrollable box containing contacts
Current date - a Box containing the date
Current time - a Box containing the time
Custom Tray - A scrollable app draw that can hold selected apps (music, tools, games, ect)
Live Map - A live scrollable google map (that for some reason centers over chicago for me)
Picture - Select an image
Plain colour - an empty box that cannot contain apps or shortcuts, (use this as a background for buttons
Recent calls - Scrollable Recent call list
Recent SMS - Scrollable Recent SMS list (doesnt display phone numbers)
Search box - Sweeterhomes personalised search box
Springboard - A Key item on sweeter home, (see below)
System widget - Click to place a standard widget
Tagged tray - Useful trays that are controlled online via your sweeterhome account ( personally i dont use these)
Text - A Box of text
After you have selected an item E.G a text box Long press and click EDIT
In the edit screen you can change just about all the aesthetics of boxes
colour, frame, text, scroll directions ect
MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE TITLE and TRAY I.D to something relevant if you intend to use a springboard to control when it appears
---Using springboards---
A springboard is a button that once pressed will show / hide other trays and widgets
this is why its necessary to change the names of the boxes and widgets you create
E.G
1- create a system widget and name it (winamp)
2- exit the edit screen and place the Winamp widget on the screen by clicking the red box
3- go back to edit and create a springboard, Call this (Music)
4- long press the springboard and select the (systemwidget:winamp) to be controlled
5- Exit the edit screen
Now hopefully whenever you press your springboard box/button labeled music your winamp widget will appear/dissapear
This can be done with most of the items, note how in my screens menus and docks can appear/dissapear with the touch of a springboard
-- Layers --
As you Photoshop users will know "Layers are important"
in sweeter home this also applies
in the "EDIT" screen there will be an option "layer level", the default for this is 10
some tips:
- always keep springboards on layer 10 as then they will always be at the top and not become covered by any text/images you place over them

what is the major advantages in comparison to LP and AWD ex?

Hi pls post apk of the power widget.
Thanx in advance

well i have tried this home launcher. it is kinda cool.

Click to collapse
The major advantages would be the ability to create your own docks that can be shown/hidden with a single touch
the docks can contain links icons text and other widgets,
and i think with perseverance you can create docks that can contain more buttons which in turn can open more docks
its all a little complex to , but i really do recommend having a play about with it and keeping an eye on its market release

Also, is the clock beautiful widget or something different?

The clock is The X10's default digital clock app with the 1x1 beautiful weather widget, I've recently changed this so when you click the weather the 4x1 widget shows up underneath it (this keeps getting cooler and cooler)
my theme can be found under Spee_Simple on the themes menu

it's cool, but seriously over thought out.
customization is mind blowing, but so little tutorials and no explanations make it nearly impossible to make your own theme.
downloadable themes never work on the x10 due to our semcphonebook. so none of the shortcuts actually work.
looks cool, seems cool, great idea, but way to over whelming

it's very powerful when you begin to understand. Drove me crazy yesterday, but you can easily relink the shortcuts to x10 phonebook and add a lot more cool stuff. Am totally happy with it right now. It's the only homescreen where you can sort, show and hide widgets with a single button.
I actually reduced my homescreen to one screen. For example winamp, soundhound and youtube widgets simply disappear when I'm not on the "multimedia" tile It's the same with contacts, messages, recent calls, facebook and so on. really great stuff! Will post pics as soon as I'm home ^^

i'm sure it's great. i know i would like it since you have so much control over the content. but i tried downloading a theme. found out that none of the shortcuts worked. so i tried modifying it. only 1 layer would show in edit mode, so i googled around to find out how to edit/create themes, nothing found. so i tried creating my own theme. after 20 minutes, i finally got 1 box created with the time and date. gave up, took way too long just to create a theme and i really didn't know what else i could/wanted to do with it.
there's such little documentation and discussion on it that it's virtually impossible for a regular user to just download it and start using it.
that's where sweeterhome's short coming is. golauncher, adw, zeam, lpp, they are all similar in a sense that they act-react the same as the stock launcer. so even if you can't find info on them, you get the gest of how to use them. sweeterhome is different, large learning curve and little documentation.

I have updated the first post with a quick guide of what ive learnt so far, ill keep adding to it as i learn more, i hope it can be of some help to anyone
svtfmook - if you long press on the screen you have the option to select items that are hidden under layers (at the bottom of the longpress menu)

I understand most of the basics and like my customization quite well, but I wasn't able to do one thing:
how can I create a springboard, that enables one tray and disables another one at the same time? To explain what I want to do: I want to create a big clock in the free space of my homescreen, which is on by default. But when I for example press "messages", the clock should disappear and the (transparent) message box should appear right there. Sounds quite easy but I didn't find an option to "disable on press". Is this possible?
Another thing I find quite annoying in Sweeterhome: you cannot swipe when there's an object. My screen is quite filled with springboards, which makes it difficult to change screen
Everything else is just fine, and I'm amazed that Sweeterhome doesn't lag although my homescreen is filled with widgets multiple times
edit: my homescreen right now:
http://img819.imageshack.us/slideshow/webplayer.php?id=screenshot10d.png
it's pretty much a predesigned theme from the market, but all the shortcuts and springboards had to be fixed since none of them work on x10.

I can confirm qwer23´s statement when you want to change the screen. I really hate this. I need about 5-10 times to change screen -.-

Ok, what you ask is possible. first what you have to do is put the clock on a low layer like 1. Then make a picture on layer 2 that fills the whole screen that matches your wallpaper (or dont even use wallpaper just just full screen pictures like i do. Then in the spring boards that you are using to open your custom tray, use it also to open the picture thus covering layer 1 and making your clock disappear.
You just need to experiment. there is a lot that this home replacement can do.
For instance, you can have one spring board that opens 4 other spring boards simultaneousnessly then each one of these can control certain menus or folders and widgets. then from within each one of these you can have it so clicking each spring boards will either close all other boards or keep them open depending on the group that you lable them in.
i encourage anyone to give this home replacement more then a 20 minute try because it takes a while to figure everything out. I wish the the developer would make a tutorial on how to take full advantage this.
one word of advice. don't bother using any of the themes that you can download because they are set for other phone with other defaults and other programs and widgets and they will not work properly on your phone. just go to edit and start a new one from scratch.
it takes a while to get what you want. for example if you want a custom icon there are 2 ways to get this. first you can create a picture containing the icon you want and then create a custom drawer, exit edit mode then long press that drawer to add the icon from a list of your apps. then go back into edit mode. edit the custom drawer to lock so you can not add more apps or remove this on. then edit icon style and change icon blending to clear so it is invisable thus only showing the icon picture you added the first time. blahhhh... sounds like a lot of work. well it is.
the other way is to use desktop visualizer. create a widget with the one you want and then it is done.
be patient and give it a try. here is a theme that i created.
first is the home screen, press the android and it opens a spring board to other spring boards with commonly used apps and widgets. second is my app drawer, this is the bottom screen. swipe up and it brings you here, back button returns to home screen. the last is the just more folders and stuff. i plan to do more but it takes time.
hope this helps anyone who is willing to give sweeter home a try.

Has anyone found a "solution" to scrool easier between screens?

There isn't really anything you can do about being able to scroll on an open widget. hopefully the developer will fix this in future updates.
the only suggestion that i have is to keep a good chunk of your home screen free of anything like widgets or whatever to allow you to scroll. The other this is that the back button will always bring you to your home scree so with an open space on your home screen you can scroll to left, right, top or bottom no problem and then hit back button t return to home screen and you shouldn't have any problems.

can i use this for x10 mini pro 2.1?

From what I've gotten to work perfectly you hold down the "Back" soft key, then push the power button. Holding the back button shouldn't actually go back, at least until you release pressure.

Honeycomb layout.

First off, this is not a theme, there's nothing to flash so nothing can go wrong. All it requires is your time and effort.
Also, some users have reported that ADW EX restarts/crashes after the layout has been applied. Just as a heads up before you try this, make a backup if your current layout to be safe.
Like a lot of other people, I love the way Honeycomb looks, and as this isn't available to us (yet, hopefully) I decided to replicate it as best as I could.
BONUS! If you don't like reading, heres a video! Massive thanks to jinsoku3g

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
http://www.mediafire.com/?55lu57ac8flu1a6
*MIRROR* http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F1TK5OEV - Extract to a folder on your SD card.
ADW EX
Visual Task Switcher
Organised Apps
Google Search
ADW Honeycomb theme (GFX version)
One More Clock Collection
Desktop Visualizer
Honeycomb Clocks
Pulse News Reader
Colorize Widgets
And your Tab
The above apps are/should all be available on the Market. A few are paid apps but should have free versions
ADW EX Settings (free ADW might not have some settings I list):
10 columns & 8 rows
Home orientation - landscape
Overlap Widgets - no
Auto stretch Widgets - yes
Main dock - hide to expand desktop
Dockbar - optional
app drawer doesn't matter as its not used.
Screen transition - 1
The other settings you can change to suit what you want
Now for the theme:
Make a 3x1 and a 2x1 DVR (Desktop Visualizer) widget on your homescreen.
3x1 widget: select the Google Search picture extracted from the zip. For the application, choose Google Search. Clear the label and no touch effect.
2x1 widget: choose the + picture from the zip and make it open Organised Apps. Clear label and no touch effect.
Place the Widgets at he top left and right of your homescreen.
Add the Honeycomb Clock to your homescreen. Resize to 3x3
Longpress homescreen, go to launcher actions. Add 'show/hide status bar' to your homescreen. Longpress on it, press edit, delete the labels, change the icons to the left arrow icon from the Honeycomb Theme. Add Visual Task Switcher to the homescreen, clear label and choose the fan looking icon from the HC theme icon pack. Longpress homescreen, launcher actions, 'shoe previews' clear label and choose the up arrow icon from the HC theme.
Arrange them on the bottom left of your homescreen.
Add One More Clock widget to ADW, press it, go to personalize clock, press menu, toggle visibility, back out to ADW, resize to 3x1, move to bottom left of your homescreen.
Copy those steps on all of your screens (if you want to/have the patience) and add the other widgets how you want them.
For the preview type Widgets, got to a free screen, add a 2x2 DVR widget, select the Browser icon, choose it to open the browser of your choice, clear label and no touch effect. Repeat with the apps you want
Hopefully that's not too long or too complicated. If you have any questions/don't understand a step, send me a pm and ill edit the post

Ahh i thought it was the colorized bookmark widget modified.

ok, I have two teasers, I did get to make a video, but like I was saying the recorder is all messed up, so check this out..
density 160, resized HC widgets a bit smaller to give it a less crowded feel, also redirected the home launcher button on the bottom right to take you home or lock screen, instead of visual task manager try perfect tast manager and set it to long press your search key, looks like HC to me
and Ganjdroid, the video ill be uploading tomorrow i did a little demonstration of how to setup your widgets, should be easy enough for everyone

I have to say I like perfect task manager more than visual task manager but i can't assign it to a button on the desktop. Oh well..

I wanted to make it so the home button on the bottom left would either take me to the home screen or show previews so I made every other screen send me to home screen and the home screen to show previews. Just thought i'd share in case anyone else was thinking like me

FYI, if you're looking for Honeycomb wallpapers, search the Market for them.
And could someone be kind enough to mirror my zip? My laptop it borked so I'm unable to attach it to the post.
And I have also set it to return to default home then show previews since I made the post forgot to edit it lol

(Seeing as there's no General Thread for tablets, I've re posted this here.)
Hey guys I finally ported my "hubs" set up to Android Tablets and I have to say its 10x smoother on our 1.0 ghz dual core device. The general idea of "Hubs" is to create a dedicated screen for each piece of media/productivity while providing a visual eye candy. "Hubs" is easy to emulate, and even easier to create your own style. Despite the lengthy tutorial, its actually easier than it seems. The fun part comes with setting up you layout!
What you'll need:
Main
Adw Launcer EX
Launcher Pro Plus
Multi Live Wallpaper
Minimalistic Text
Simple Text
Optional
Pulse (for widgets)
Cowon Clock/ BobClock Widget
Mizuu Movies
Launcher Pro Plus (Widgets)
Video Tutorial
Part I
Part II
FINAL
WALKTHROUGH​ADW Launcher Users[/U][/B]
-To remove top bar-Press and hold and empty area on your home screen then click on "Launcher Actions" > "Hide/Show Action Bars"
-Enable Widget Overlapping-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Check "Overlap Widgets" in the Advanced Settings Tab
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Increase the desktop "Rows" and "Columns" in the "Desktop Layout" Tab.
Launcher Pro Plus Users- while not optimized for 3.2, it still runs perfect.
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "Preference" > "Homescreen Settings" > Increase the "Number of columns/rows" in the Homescreen Grid.
-Remove Icons From Right Dock- Hold your finger on the icon you wish to remove> "change shortcut"> "Blank"
*You may add screen transitions for each launcher if you wish, however my advise is to leave it at default as you can set transition for Multi Live wallpaper. Doing both launcher and MLW will make your screen look "too busy" IMO.
To set the "Bars" (Titles for "Home", "Music", "Movies" etc.)
Minimalistic Text
-To set title- Press and hold a free space on the screen > "widgets" > "Minimalistic Text" (size may vary per style however I use either 4x2 or 6x1 as long as its horizontal > ensure that "background color" is checked > "Predefined Layout" > "Custom" > "Custom Layout" > Click on the plus sign > "Misc" > "Static Text".
-Black Bar Tutorial click here
Wallpapers
-Set up - Load up your wallpapers on your sd card/internal memory and placing them into seperate folders and name them based on the images (ex. Music, Movies, Games etc)
- Long press an empty screen on your homescreen > "Wallpapers" > "Live Wallpapers"> "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper"> "Settings"
- For each "Screen _ Settings" Select the picture source as "Picture Folder" and navigate it to point to your corresponding homescreen.
- Additionally you make select the screen transition here that reflects your particular taste. You may also set a default wallpaper for your lockscreen.
Despite the dozen of widget on the homescreen and live wallpaper, battery use is minimal.I have provided wallpapers below to help you get started.
NAVIGATING BETWEEN HUBS​
There are two methods in which you can navigate to each individual homescreen.
Method one: Prior/Alternate way for navigation text was achieved using this methodby trekkie0927. Using invisible icons in tandem with minimalistic text can make it easier to flip to each hubs. Please rate/comment his video.
Method two: I found a great alternative to Minimalistic Text in terms of using the text buttons to jump from one screen to another called Simple Text. Since it's only an icon and not a widget, it consumes no memory and provides a great minimal look.
User AcIdC0R3 has posted a great tutorial. (Please thank him!)​
Make sure you have ADWLauncher EX
Go to the market and install Simple Text
Long press on the screen and select 'Custom Shortcut'
'Pick your activity', select 'Launcher Actions'
Choose which screen you want, 1 - 5 or 1 - 7 if your using seven screens
Click on the picture of the 2 screens side by side
Select 'ADWTheme IconPacks' and select 'Simple Text'
Select the grey box named 'Simple'
replace the word 'Simple' with whatever of your choosing like 'Video' for your video hub or 'Social' for your social media hub and so forth
Adjust your text size, Y and X coordinates, your shadow settings etc.
Click the little blue 'A' in the top right side of the screen and select your font (more on fonts further down)
You also have the option to select the color wheel next to the 'A' and adjust your text color
Select the menu icon on the task bar at the bottom and select 'Save Style' if you want to keep what you created for later use as well.
Click 'Save Icon' which will create your icon for you
Back at the black edit screen remove the text from the text field and click OK
You should now have a custom text icon that will activate whichever screen you chose for it. You can click any app icon on your screen and follow the same procedure for your apps so all your apps also have text icons.
[FONTS] In a file manager go to /sdcard/Simple Text/ and create a folder named 'fonts' (that is plural with an 's' at the end). Next go to somewhere like dafont.com and download you some kewl fonts and place them within that 'fonts' directory you just created. Now when you go into Simple Text to do your editing you will have more fonts to choose from.
That's all there is to it.
You can also work with layers within the creation of your Simple Text. Notice below where I created a new layer, rotated my new text layer and intersected where both words have the letter 'E'.
However you may notice that simple text does have it's limitations:
Icons can only be 1x1
Works best on adw
No way to resize; it is only an icon after all.
Miscellaneous
​ISSUE: You may experience widget being placed "behind" the black bars. If so try this method provided by user SwiftLegend
1. Put the widgets/icons you want on TOP of the blackbar FIRST. You need these before anything.
2. Select a Minimalistic Text Widget, I usually use 1x1. Clear out the text options (Predefined layout > Custom, delete all of the things there)
3. Once you're back at your homescreen and see the MT Widget, just long press and re size it to your liking.
You HAVE to make sure that whatever you want on TOP of the blackbar is put on the screen FIRST. Anything put on after will go underneath.
ISSUE 2: Users have reported that Minimalistic Widget refuses to post/ show up on the homescreen.
1. Turn your tablet into portrait mode.
2. Add the widget whilst staying in portrait mode as you apply you designs.
3. Rotate back to landscape.
ISSUE 3: You can no longer take full advantage of the screen real estate using adw ex (particularly the corners)
1. Recent update kills the use of every inch of the screen. In his attempt to emulate ICS, anderwebs made the edges of the screen inaccessible.
2. Revert back to an older version (1.3.3)
here's the original layout from the nook color if you guys are interested on putting this on your homescreen HERE

wow, the youtube video does look good!
I've been using static wallpapers due to performance issues when using live wallpapers in honeycomb, but this setup seems to be minimal and effective. Gonna test this out...

Awesome please let me know how it looks
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

which clock are you using on your home screen?

Very inspiring. I'll admit that I also stuck to static wallpapers in fears of sluggish performance and battery drain, but this has converted me

Any chance you could PM me a link to the bookcase wallpaper? Looking at getting my son an eee pad for his 10th (!) birthday next month so may have to bookmark your thread for him

Very nice! Could you share your wallpapers? Especially the library one!

The clock is the Cowon BOB Clock - you'll find it in the Market or all over the place here on XDA

Very nice! If you don't mind paying, I think using the widget from UberMusic would look even better. But that's just me..
EDIT: Would you mind sharing the wallpapers in the video? They all look really nice and I can never find wallpapers like that. This is replacing my Dark Theme layout right away!

Thanks Dunc101, i found that and also using CalWidget 4x4 for the look. These two combined look similar to Google Chrome widgets on a desktop. This is great!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Can you make a .Zip file with the Clock and the calander and the walpapers...would really appreciate that..
Thanks

Not that I know of. I didn't even know the stock player lets you do that
EDIT: I'm sure you know that UberMusic also automatically downloads artist pictures, right? I was thinking of pointing Mutlipicture to folder, so you always have it updating and it corresponds to your actual music library.

Yes I know. I think it also has a live wallpaper that plays the Current album too I think. Wish this multi live wallpaper let us assign live wallpaper too

Hi there, great work.
But the LiveWallpaper App doesnt work for me. The App don't change the wallpaper in LauncherPro - with the Honeycomb one it works perfect. Any idea?
Edit: forget it. Solved ^^

Didn't know that either lol. That would be a really nice thing to have though.

what launcher are you guys using for this? apparantly adw ex doesn't work well with 3.2 as i can't edit any of the launcher settings.
