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

same here.
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

Recommanded apps/Must have applications

I made this thread, so that you could recommanded aps that works with your x10. Etc apps that you frequently use and so on.
I hAven't gotten mine yet, but I will probably get the same main apps as I had on the magic.
1. Gulesider( a Norwegian app, a really nice app. A easy way to find phone numbers etc. It does also show the name of the person that is calling you)
2.advanced task manager( allows you to shut down some of the apps running on your device)
3. AndFtp ( a FTP app)
4. Glance( file manager)
5. Pure calendar(a good looking calendar widget for your android phone, there is a theme for it that is transparent. Love this widget tbh)
6. Spotify
7. Yr.no (a weather widget)
8. NRK radio
9. OI File Manager/OI Notepad
10. TV Guide
11. Science facts
feel free to share some of the android Apps that you like.

Im using same apps as on the legend and hero.. Good habits are hard to change:
gulesider and yr ofcourse.
Estrong Taskmanager (my choise of taskmanager)
Estrong File Explorer
Dolphin Browser (really great browser for android)
Zedge Ringetones & wallpapers (Great selection, and ofcourse, since they're norwegian)
Weather Widgets (yr.no) - Copies the HTC flip clock (Which I love !)
Battery Graph - nothing like analyzing that battery drain!

SuperDial for faster contacts lookup.

i am using:
takephone (smartdial app)
gblocker (call filter app)

first of all, it is called Spotify
and yes it does exist for the android platform
And I would say that it works better than the one for the iPhone. I can't really say anything about the symbian version, since I have never had a symbian phone. And probably will never have, since I do not like that OS....

So, here's my list:
Advanced Task Killer
Battery Time Lite
Spotify - Rocks
Reader widget - Excellent for my google reader-feeds
Scoreboard - Football scores
Calwidget - Nice widget for my calendar
Handcent SMS - Brilliant SMS app
aTAKEphone - Nice phone/dialer-ap
YR.no widget - Weather widget
mVideoPlayer - Handy video player
ASTRO - Excellent file browser
FlashLightApp - widget using camera light
Apps Organizer - Quite useful with widgets for labels
Barcode Scanner - Scann app-barcodes
FotMob - Excellent football-app
FxCamera - Fun camera app
GPS Logger - Logs your GPS-position to file - can be used to geotag your SLR-shots for example
Gule Sider - norwegian national phone book
Locale - Auto-change settings based on location
PdaNet - Tether
StopWatch - you got it
TV Guide - Norwegian tv guide
Zedge - wallpapers and ring tones

bloo - facebook application that actually gives you notifications on useful things like comments on posts. The official android facebook app cannot do this.

I've got a new one to add:
NewsRoom
A wonderful take on the typical RSS reader, this app allows access to RSS feeds as preview pages, which you can flip through and select for full articles. Much more complete and interactive than a typical text-list layout of most RSS readers.

Weather Widget ( now called Weather & Toggle)- HTC Clock/weather widget and system toggle widgets. Is also skinable.
Weather Widget Weather addon- Adds a weather forcast when you tap on the weathr icon on the clock.
Handcent- Best SMS app
Astro- Awesome File explorer AND taskkiller ( many don't know that it has a great task killer included)
FlashLightApp- A one button on/off widget to turn our camra light on or off.
GPRS Monitor- Monitors data usage
Pure Grid Calander- Mimics the HTC calander widget
Sportstap- Best sports updates, scores, news, even notifications.
OperaMini5- Web Browser
Aldiko- Ebook reader
WiFinder- WiFi finder
HelixLauncher- A home replacment option that offers customixable Home options. have up to 7 screens, adds 4 "buttons" to the app drawer slider on the home screen, double tap home screen to see min versions of all other screens. This is the best Home option out there.
HTC_IME-hi keryboard- My favorite Keyboard by far.
Swype- Yes, I'm jumping on the Swype bandwagon and trying it out. Takes a bit to get used to but is a very smart keyboard for predctions. Rarley gets my input wrong and is faser then tapping. I'm still on the fence about using it full time as my text input.

I'm now adding swype too.... its possibly the cleverest and definitely most innovative app ive seen on a phone in some time.

I started off with SlideIT and have been using Swype for a few days now..
It's definitely a much nicer looking UI... but I reckon that SlideIT is actually more acurate, quicker and easier to manage??....

SyncMyPix - a pretty good app to add the picture from your facebookcontacts to your phone contacts!

I found that weather and toggle seemed to be sucking juice out of my battery... what's your battery life like?

You most likely have the app checking for weather updates too often, set it to something like 6 hours (how quick does weather really change).

[REQ] Launcher Pro transparent App Drawer

maybe i missed it and if i did someone point me in the right direction but has anyone done a transparent app drawer background MOD for launcher pro?

Oh crap I was totally looking for this the other day, it looks so nice on ADB launcher.

Found solution - Enjoy!!

I wanted to do the same also - so I did a bit of investigation. Actually turned out to be pretty easy. I use GIMP 2 program. After you follow the direction below save it as a .png file with any name. Save it to a folder on your phone. Then hold down app drawer icon on phone till popup box - select change icon. Navigate to the folder where you saved the transparent icon and click on it to select it. * it is transparent so you wont "see" the icon click on the screen and it will pick it * And that's it. Enjoy! - I know I did
GIMP 2 makes it easy to create a transparent image:
1. Pull down the File menu.
2. Pick "new."
3. Click the "+" sign next to "Advanced Options."
4. Select "Transparency" from the "Fill with:" menu.
5. Click "OK."

I believe he was asking for a transparent background when you OPEN the app drawer, like ADW, not a transparent icon FOR opening the app drawer.

I want side by side pages in the app drawer like ADW. Might have to switch soon if launcher pro doesnt step it up. I tried requesting stuff on their forums but it gets overlooked.

I love the launcher pro widgets so I'm not switching to ADW anytime soon, but I would love a transparent app drawer background.

+1 interest in transparent background for the app drawer...
+5 if it still maintains the 3d perspective while being transparent!

Holy crap man did you really say that??? You know Fede release updates pretty frequently to LauncherPro right? If the side-swiping app drawer feature is missing it's either because:
- Demand for it is low
- It's not important
- It's been overlooked
- Fede just doesn't want it in LauncherPro
But to say "if Launcher Pro doesn't step it up" is a little unfair at best. To each their own but LauncherPro is awesome.
I don't want to crap up this thread so I'm out

3d/transparent sounds awesome.

I would also dig the hell out of that.

someone get a response from a dev

Posted it on their forum.

where so we can follow it and show support!

sorry
I talk to the dev alot this is a no go it would causealot of instability any other colors

i think that if it can't be transparent black is the most professional and simple look.
any explanation as to why it would cause problems? i have seen some ROMS that have included a transparent app drawer, and i'm assuming they're not releasing roms with known problems like that?

yeah other launcher have it too,, adw, dell stage, modified touchwiz
i currently use modified touchwiz and this is definetly stable and bug free with transparant app drawer...
so it's a lil odd story..

Oh man, I REEEAAAALLY really really really want this.
Ive already bought the dang paid LP version so im pretty much loyal either way.... but I will admit the clear ADW drawer ALMOST won me over before i took the LP leap.
There's GOT to be a way to do it.. just havent found it yet.

+1
3d + transparent and then there's no contest.

Yep, count me in... I'd love that in LP.

3d app drawer with a custom wallpaper is an absolute must for me as I have a custom housing in which the pattern from the housing follows onto the wallpaper so when when apple drawer opens it loses the effect and I love launcher pro so quick!!!! PLEASE HELP

Post Screenshots for ADWLauncher (Free or EX)

Hey all!
ADWLauncher is well-known among the community here, and recently on the market, ADWLauncher EX became available and it is absolutely brilliant. Launcherpro has a thread dedicated to showcasing each user's beautiful desktops, and for good reason, as it too is a wonderful launcher. That said, I think ADW deserves equal appreciation, and with the new EX version available on the market, the features and potential artistry of it grows even further.
Please post your screenshots and provide a brief description! For mine ...
Pic 1: My default desktop. I'm obsessed with minimalism, and to achieve this I expanded the desktop (no dock) and used AppsOrganizer to create cataloged folders for my apps. In the top corners are folders for Starred Contacts and All Contacts, respectively, and the clock widget at the bottom is Minimalistic Text.
Pic 2: Right-hand desktop. Left-hand corner with SetCPU 2.10, and once again Minimalistic Text widget at the bottom. This widget is very nice, can provide text- or number-based widgets for date, time, weather, battery, or even static text. Very customizable as well.
Pic 3: Left-hand desktop. Top widget is Visual Bookmarks, bottom widget is Android Agenda Widget, both customized to match other widgets.
All widgets described are available for free on the market. But please share your own pictures and descriptions of ADW!

ADW Ex, Beautiful Widgets, Gingerbread ADW theme

Sweet! I've been wanting to see some ADW pics. I use LauncherPro now, but if I get some cool ideas I might switch haha

You just need to find the different text icons that you like and then switch them out. It should be an option of ADW.
After you create your own or download a version you like save them to your SD card. Then select the dock icon you want to edit. It will pop up the 3 options and you want to select edit. Then you'll see the edit box pop up. Look to the left and you'll see a picture of the icon. Press that and you'll have the option then to select a different picture. Then you can use the ones you just put on your card.
Hole that helped.

[Q] What are your top 5 favorite widgets.

Just want to see what everyone's favorite or useful widget is.
1 MEMO (LG)
2 Pure Calender
3 Beautiful weather
4 Live Sports
5 Battery Life

1) Minimalistic Text
2) SiMi Folder/clock
3) Pandora
Those three plus WidgetLocker and LauncherPro basically comprise what I need to install to use a phone.
I also use SoundHound, Flashlight, and Battery Monitor, but they aren't really favorites, just useful.

Battstatt, widgetoid, fancy Widgets, clockr, minimalistic text.
Some do the same thing.

I always thought that most widgets do some serious damage to battery life, so I've avoided them. Is this not the case?

1.) Fancy widgets- home 5x3.
2.) Beautiful widgets- toggles.
3.) Player pro- 5x5.
4.) Picture frame.
5.) Titanium backup- backup all new apps and newer versions.
