home++ on darchdroid

If you are using home++ post here about it, not in the darchdroid thread, lets try to keep that one more on topic
If you don't know what home++ is, it is one of the best home replacement's out there. Check here for more details http://hpp.intuitit.mobi/
This app works with live wallpapers on the 2.1 builds IF you disable workspace looping in the preferences (Home-> menu -> preferences) and you download the beta from the website, not the market place

Yeah I saw all those posts in Darchs thread and wanted to share but did not want to clog up what has been a very productive Dev thread.
I agree Home++ is the best home replacement for 1.6+ devices. I was happy with GDE while on 1.5, but Home++ is in another league. In the market search Home++ Beta.
Here are some screenshots:

Thats right. It is actually by Koxx, a Dev here on XDA. The widgets are great. Very customizable and lots of skins. Check out his post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545097

Its called weather forecast widget. It is also by Koxx, just search his name in the market and you will find all the widgets.
One of the things I really like about Home++ is the ability to use the home screen in landscape mode. Other home replacements I have used also had this feature but did not scale widgets properly. Home++ seems to do a good job with the widgets I have been using.

Digital Clock Widget
I really like the clear theme without the task bar, but miss the task bars functionality. I was able to make a clear task bar in 1.5, but the wallpaper was cropped too short (black task bar). Hopefully that is not a problem with 2.1/Home++ as I am going to try to make a clear task bar for my home screen.
Does anyone know if the task bar is gonna give me hell if I try to change the text white?

[WIDGET] Anyone Have LauncherPro Plus?

Can anyone take a screenshot of the LauncherPro Plus Calendar widget?
I wouldn't use any of the other widgets except for the Calendar widget, which of course is the only widget that isn't pictured on launcherpro.com for some odd reason...

You can see it in this screen shot from the "Post your Screen Shot" thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7699486&postcount=2817

The main reason I got LP Plus was that you can resize all widgets. Since I got the pro version, I've found that nearly every widget I use is better after resizing.
This is the LPP calendar widget resized to be one row shorter, then the stock longer version. There are actually two sizes to choose from, the other is full screen 4x4, but I don't know why there are two sizes since you can resize them just the same.

I say BUY IT!!! its worth it and i love the launcher! i just wish it was open source so cyan could use it instead of AWD... nothing against it but i like LP Pro more...

Features for calender: You can scroll up and down to different months
add events right on the widget
View events on the widgets.
Not to mention they look very nice.
And on LPPro the resizing of widgets is definitely a plus. The 4x3 Touiter widget looks very, very nice when made resized 4x4.
Great feature.

Agenda-screenshot
Am I correct in assuming there's a agenda-style view (listing upcoming events) for the LPP calendar widget? If so, is there a screenshot of that view floating around?
Thanks

Thanks for the pictures.
Can you do an Agenda-style calendar widget? (ie showing the events rather than the month-view)

Hah, posted while I was posting.

Isn't there a thread for Launcher pro already?
Then again threads keep getting buried.

yes, there is an agenda view for each event.
took this from the 'post your screen shots' thread as I'm too lazy to take a screen myself...
pressing the '+' buttons allows you to add an event and the other icon allows you to switch from month view to the event view.

Excuse my insane 'Paint' Skillz.
and then click on the little "Calendar" icon while on agenda mode to switch back.

Thanks for the screenshots and videos everyone, it was just enough to push me over the edge

It really is, and please, pay for the app.
This dev has given the app EVERYTHING he has and has made it, imo, the best launcher available for any Android device. No only will you get the updates right away, including new upcoming widgets, but you'll be helping out a cool dude.

yes i have, but very very bad

I purchased LauncherPro Plus because I really liked the launcher itself. After that I found out about the agenda widget. It instantly became my favourite!

Thanks all, purchased

i bought this as well. the only downside i find is that there is an upper limit of stuff you can have on all your screens before the helicopter view simply fails to redraw at all. i've gotten around the 5/6 screens of icons and widgets, and no matter how i add things in a different way, that 7th screen crosses some invisible threshold and it cant display smoothly in pinch to zoom.

Well worth the $3 in my opinion. Has made running a non Sense ROM way more appealing to the point where I haven't flashed a Desire port in ages. CM6 Nightlies + LPPro is a great combo.

@SeEsAw12 Where did you get those android dock icons?

Scrollable Bookmark Widget (Found)

Hi. I'm looking for a scrollable bookmark widget for a long time (about a year) but I can't find something like that somehow.
I don't understand why there isn't. Is it so hard to make or doesn't Android support that?
Btw, I don't want to use LauncherPro.
-----------
Edit: App's name is Colorize. It's free and you can find in Market by searching ''colorize''.
Thanks to AquaeAtrae and developer

Would love to see a widget like that as well

Upssss!!

I believe Colorize may have a good widget for you. I prefer it's Facebook and Twitter widgets over all others.
I've posted a collection of all scrollable widgets in the Themes forum if you want to see and compare what the various widgets look like...

Agreed. I'm sure it has, like so many Android projects, grown far beyond its initial design. It really has outgrown its name; I only found it because I was searching for EVERY scrollable widget out there. I was quite surprised when I found decent sized thumbnails in its social feed widgets--something I'd been looking for. Glad it worked for ya.

Does anybody know the name of this clock-widget?

Hi,
I really thought I was up-to-date with all theming related widgets and apps..but today I saw this picture of a clock widget with reflections and customizable colors plus customizable shades!!!
My dream of a clock widget! As far as I know even the great chronotopia clock widget can "just" rotate, but not do reflections....
Does anybody know what widget this is?
thanks!

Notice the IPhone maybe? But it looks like a lwp not just a clock. Try out wp clock

yes- maybe it is just an iphone app... but it is definitely not an lwp.
Because its from an blog for phone styles and the wall is free to download without any widget...
I guess its a themed widget of an iphone app...

Just now saw this. I think you can do this with Chronotopia. Granted I haven't tried it but this is how I would go about it. Duplicate the clock, rotate it so it's upside down. Then in the gradient make it so the alpha blend is 0 at the bottom (or top since it is rotated). That should do the trick, you can also adjust the x position of the gradient to make it fade out faster or slower. Hit me up if you need more help or let me know if it works.

I love that wallpaper, know where I can get it or can you share?
Also how did you get Andy on the board for the lock screen?
-Eric

I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread on this already!
I posted this in another thread, but mine looks like this. Not terribly interesting apart from the Widget.
For anyone that is interested, I'm using ADW Launcher, the Widget is a Beautiful Widget with an opacity setting of 30% I think. I also hide the icon labels, as it makes it a lot cleaner! I set the Columns to 7 and the Rows to 6 to get as many icons on the screen as I could without it looking too crowded.
The widgets used are as follows:
Widget Type: Beautiful SuperClock 4x3 (Tablet) - I stretched it out so it fits the screen better
Super Clock Skin: honeyclock
Weather Skin: FlatWhite

What are you using for screen cap?

I'm using the Dalvik Debug Monitoring Service (ddms.bat) in the tools directory of the Android SDK install. You must also have the correct drivers installed, which if you've rooted your KF, you should already have.
Once it's detected and connected to your device, you can go to Device > Screen Capture.

what launcher are you using?

I downloaded an app called ScreenshotUX, something like that. There used to be a bunch of screenshot apps in the market, what happened? Are they getting the boot from Google or something?

just went in to the file structure and replaced the image with my own. the wallpaper is from a poster who put up some alternate wallpapers to use instead of the defaults. i just pasted it 21 times in a folder and renamed them to the default names, so it never changes. in reality it's changing every time, it changes to the same pic each time. here's the pic. cant remember the link where i got it.

noticed you have the same weather widget bug, also happens to the pandora widget. something causes it to stretch like that, returns to normal after reset. you know what causes it and if there's a fix?

This is my homescreen as of now.
I really liked the wood bookshelf style of the kindle, so I decided to make wallpapers that would give that same look to other launchers (I'm using ADW).
I also attached a zipped folder with them, hope you guys enjoy.
Comments are always appreciated

Here you go.

mclock, fancy widgets, and stock wallpapers

Probably a stupid question but you guys that are using different launchers (which in this thread is everyone it seems lol) are you rooted or not? I'm going to side-install a few launchers and had no plans on rooting at this point BUT if it helps the alternate launchers work better I mine as well. Thanks for input and again, sorry if it's a dumb questions.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say most of us are rooted simply because a lot of ppl seem to have several apps only found on the Android market. Of course you can sideload them without the market, but I think that instead of going through all that trouble most ppl have just rooted and installed the market (especially since it's so easy to do and also allows you to take screenshots).
