I downloaded acircuit board live wallpaper and all the videos I see shows it move as they slide over pages.
Not just that, but even my brother's galaxy s 4G background move as he swipes left and right.

With Sense, no. With another launcher, yes
Try Launcher Pro, or ADW. They both support scrollable wallpapers.
Do either of those launchers change the way the sensation homescreen looks? I really like the way sense 3.0 is laid out so I would rather that over a panoramic wallpaper.
Btw, did what does a launched do exactly and can I uninstall it like any other application?

No the other launchers do not look like the stock launcher on the Sensation (which is called Sense 3.0). They are based on other software and allow customization of the home screens and app drawers and such. If you wanted to you can have both installed and use an app like Home Launcher to switch back and forth between Sense and the other launchers for when you want your phone to look a certain way. And yes you can uninstall them just as easily as any other app.

I Hope I am putting this in the right place, if not I am sorry!!! I was wondering if there is a way to add the 3d app drawer that is on Launcher pro onto htc sense ui? If anyone knows of a way please let me know I will be greatful!!!!!!! [email protected]
No it's not
Just use LauncherPro.
I like the some of the htc widgets that sense ui has
there must be a way to port that 3d app drawer over
As far as I know the app drawer isn't an app, and it's part of the default home app. The reason LauncherPro has the 3D one is because they wrote that all themselves - they control EVERYTHING.
LauncherPro Plus has started creating widgets that are almost identical to the HTC widgets. As of now, only the People widget is released, but more are on the way.

I agree 100% and if anybody finds a how too I'd be interested in it too.
Could a theme change the app drawer?

No. It isn't possible. Move on to a superior launcher and get replacement widgets.

Are you sure about that? There has never been a mod to an htc app?

I have tried everything i can think of before and I could never get it to work is is a part of the home screen I would even settle for adw with 3d like I have with froyo on my droid
The people widget for launcher pro is it something that needs to be downloaded from the market or is it in launcher pro already. I didn't see under widget in launcher pro so I wonder if it needs to be downloaded from the market.
It's in Launcher Pro Plus, it's a paid app.

Sense widgets won't work with another launcher

Yes, I'm sure he knows that. That's why he wants to port a LauncherPro feature to Sense instead of switching to LauncherPro.

I did switch to a superior launcher... when I set HTC sense as my default. I've tried the others and bottom line I don't like how they look and I'm not going to go hunt down and pay for apps and widgets that are half as good as my HTC ones.
On here I've tried different themes, roms and all kinds of stuff, and I would really doubt that just changing the app drawer is impossible
Launcher pro (free and paid) allow you to have a 3d app drawer.
Picture below:

I was in the OPs shoes until the other day, you REALLY should give LauncherPro another shot because there are widgets out there better than HTC Sense's. LauncherPro Plus includes a people widget, Fancy Widget = HTC Sense's clock, pure calendar grid= freaking awesome calendar, Pure messenger = way better than friendstream... seriously you should check them out.
I will do that thanks for tip!
I had a 3d one similar to what the Nexus has on my phone.
Launcher that when I slide it up(with movement, animation etc, Like Android 1.5), it will show the app drawer? I got Launcher Pro atm
Zeam Launcher
Minimal, fast, works exceptionally well on the last few phones Ive used including the Galaxy S series and the G2X.
ADW can do this.
So can GoLauncher EX. Also very themeable. A bit heavier than zeam though

I'm understanding the request differently than you guys. I think you might be looking for Launcher + maybe https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.intuitit.android.p.launcher&feature=search_result.
Or maybe I'm the one misunderstanding the request... :shrug:

guys hes looking for an launcher that opens up and down most launchers dont do this anymore its a very miss feature i think.
Edit: like 1.5 and 1.6 like vanilla android.
Well when I slide my finger up on the home screen my app drawer opens. Slide my finger down and my notification bar pulls down. That's what I get from the op anyway

Anyone else have a rooted phone but not a new rom and use a custom launcher?
I have tried most of them, but have narrowed it down to Zeam(which i use on my nook color) or Go launcher - what are your favorites? I like the theme options on Go.

What does a new ROM have to do with a custom launcher?
I use LauncherPro. I've heard positive things about GO and ADW.
Nothing specific just that I wanted to make it obvious I do not have a custom rom as sometimes that will change the basic home screen anyway.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Yeah the ROM will also have a custom launcher, but if you put another custom launcher, it will look the same as without the ROM. Doesn't matter if you're rooted, either.

LauncherPro has been the most stable and snappy for me.

i started using MXHome, it is a regular launcher for the most part with some really nice features. A full 3d home cover along with what MX is calling a "smart" appdrawer. It allows you to put your apps in alphabetical, sort by category and other options. I am currently using the glass theme and it is really nice. Check out this vid on YouTube to see some of it's features in action:

I like this look.
I prefer Go Launcher with the themes and app drawer transition effects and that it has running apps and recent apps tabs in the app drawer.
Using zeam launcher, very nice app and low memory use
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Using Zeam Launcher for low memory foot print, and has most of the functions Launcher Pro has.
Go Launcher is no doubt my favorite, nice simple features...everything seems to make sense....and that's after trying Zeam, Launcher Pro, SPB (another favorite but I get tired of the flashiness after a while), and adw is nice also.
I've noticed when using the launcher pro, the facebook widget, power control widget seem all washed out but it doesnt when I use sense launcher. (It also does it with adw launcher and ex and go launcher.. is it possible these are not support for a gHD screen?
Move those Apps to you phone memory. And that may help. Don't save them on your sd card. That should help.

Hi,
Is there any way to keep a different wallpaper on lockscreen vs your homescreen?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
There use to be in Sense 2.x, but not any more with Sense's stock lockscreen. I haven't used them to know, but there might be a way to set a different lockscreen wallpaper on a 3rd party lockscreen like widget locker, though it would significantly slow down unlocking your phone.
It doesn't appear that you can (you used to be able to on the older version of Sense). If you go into Personalize > Lock Screen, they have one called "Wallpaper" but when you hit Settings... it only allows you to choose the app shortcuts. By the name I would have assumed it would be included but perhaps it was overlooked like other small things in Sense 3.0?
Ah. Ok. It seems like a mistake though I'm gonna use ripple lock. It's fast, looks pretty and let's me changemy lockscreen
