[Q] LauncherPro Size for the Sensation - HTC Sensation

Hi, this is my first post so be kind
Im going to be buying a Sensation very soon, and will be using LauncherPro
I know that on WVGA phones, the size of the dock is 480*84, I was wondering if anyone knew (or could find out for me) the size to make it a perfect fit on the Sensations QHD screen?
I can find out when I get the phone, but it would be useful to know now so i can begin creating docks.
Any help would be good, thanks!

I use launcherpro on my sensation and u used the docks I had on my hd2 and u made no changes to them. They work well. I'm using coredroid 2.3.4

Thanks, im guessing that LP scales the image up, so the chances are that 540*94.5 (awkward size) will fit perfectly.

Yep, LP sizes the dock up automatically

I thought it would do, but im looking to get the image a perfect size, so that theres no stretching (and consequently pixellation)

Samsung RoadSMS apk

I know a lot of people were requesting it, since I was looking for it myself earlier today. Don't think it's been posted, so here it is, the Road SMS application from Samsung.
Don't think this qualifies as warez since it's available free on Samsung phones anyway.
Does this work on any phone?

Working on my Evo, Nexus, & Droid, so I would say so
Working on my Desire also
only for high res...
On my Sprint Hero, the keyboard is bigger than the screen, so I can't type half the letters, otherwise it works... now if only we could figure out how to downsize... Seems like a cool app though!
working fine on the mytouch slide
works on incredible thanks
Doesn't work on X10i

Works on the MT3G but all the keyboard options doesn't fit the screen very well.
anyone got a screenshot of it ?
It doesn't work with the Froyo port on my MyTouch because camera preview is broken, but it will still send an SMS. They keyboard does look a little funny because of the screen size difference I guess.

Hi,If you type "RoadSMS" with out the quotes on youtube,you`ll see how it works.But it doesnt support æøå as far as I can see thou..
And as long as the contactlist isnt transparent the app. loose some of its value.
But than it works better than the"Type N Walk" app found in the market,at least when it comes too running on the Desire."Type N Walk" has an compatibility issue since the camera rotated 90deg counter clockwise
The consept is great
There might be apps on the market that support ÆØÅ if you search,read and try some similar apps.
ahh, see above post.

Magic/Hero/Dream Mod
Hey guys
I have a Magic 32a so the keyboard was extended on mine too.
I have modded sizes and attached for use on my phone size. It should work on Magic/Hero/Dream and any that have same screen size. I'm on froyo.
Let me know if this works for you!

What device are you using? I can try to make portrait for you if you want. You would lose landscape though, that would require a rewrite to do both.
I will look at how easy a rewrite will be but let me know if you want me to do a portrait only version for you.

30 Good Evo Wallpapers

Hey I went through and resized 30 wallpapers for the evo that I use on my phone. Hope you all enjoy.
Post some screen shots of you rocking the wallpapers if you want so we can all see.
Enjoy =)
Thanks! I'll post some screen shots soon
These are the ones I like most
Those look nice. Yeah that last one is one of my favorites. along with the stones one. it looks really good with all white text.
Hell yeah! This is freaking nice wallpapers too, none of those cheap ones!
Thanks, OP!
Your welcome. If I had more time I'd find more to resize.

nvm
Oooo I'm downloading that man. It looks good. My Fiance will want it on her evo for sure.
Very nice stuff! Thanks.

where can i find your clock and weather
Ok I'm hearing mixed views now so I'm confused.
All the tech sites say the evo resolution is 800x480 so I sized my wallpapers accordingly.
But I have someone say the resolution is 960x800. Which is true? I really didn't think the later is true because the official sites aren't saying it's that res.
pretty sure its 800x480
Anyways.. why is such a pain to set wallpapers. You shouldnt need to resize the wallpaper. Everytime i try to set a picture as wallpaper.. it makes me crop it and It never looks right.

Ok cool that's what I thought. Thanks for helping me clear it up.
I've also been wondering why of makes me resize. I'm wondering if that's a sense thing instead of an Android thing. Can anyone comment on that?

Hello all. I have compared the two sizes on a few evos by making wallpaper in both sizes. When you resize wallpapers at 960x800 it will look/be hi-res no questions asked. OTOH 800x480 is display resolution this DOES NOT equate to wallpaper size. Its definitely not wallpaper size.
I kinda like the argyle ones, but they're a bit too much for me personally.
I am trying out the following though.

It is 960x480 because there are the additional home screens
Thanks a bunch! Found a handful of them I like.
I'm glad people are liking them even though I guess they are the wrong resolution.
When I find some more that I like I'll make some in a better resolution and put more up.
I found these on deviant art. So if anyone sees any they like let me know and I'll check em out and add them to the list for you guys.
Hey I made another pack at the correct resolution if you guys want some more.

Android XDA developers challenge: Porting 2.2 HTC Sense from Wildfire to Magic

I noticed that HTC posted source code of Froyo 2.6.32 kernel for HTC Wildfire. Will it be possible to make some changes to it and make a port for 32A HTC Magic? Specs of both phones are very similar. If somebody can do it, this should make perfect Android 2.2 with Sense ROM or plain 2.2 ROM for Magic that will work with a new 6.35 radio.
I would really appreciate input of experienced Android XDA hackers on this. Thank you in advance.
if you search you will see i have started a port but no one is trying to help, and you have to resize everything due different resolutions
Can be used instead of images in the Magic do not have to resize. ?
edit
resize Blurred image.
we have to take the images used in wildfire, find them in the desire files and rezies those down wildfire and desire have android 2.2 sense so they both have same images, but you cannot size up form widlfire, you have to size down from desire and put in the wildfire files
Yes, I see. thx man
edit
may i help you ?...
i have been meaning to do that but been busy doing kernels but if you do please upload it somewhere so we can improve the port i started
Is it possible to port wildfire 2.2 rom to Magic even without sense? Would it work better then the ones based on AOSP or CM?

Hi capychimp, is it this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801435.
Is it better/faster to change/port the mytouch 1.2 32B? I heard it got 2.2 OTA
no one got a link for that update so it is not here yet
I'm thinking a hybrid of the two might be nice. KaosLegendary for the Eris was straight copied over without reszing and many expressed that they liked the smaller sized menus and less obtrusive launcher. I'd be all for fixing the stuff that needs to be fixed like the keyboard from the WF being shrunk and port over the Legend version and keep the small other stuff.

No, because they've still got the HTC framework built in, so what you're getting is AOSP + a ton of crap from HTC, rather than *just* AOSP. I think you can imagine which would work better.

If you want smaller menus and text, use LCD changer. Each to their own, but the launcher looks borked. I think calling it less obtrusive is just like calling a bug, a feature
resizing problems solved

yeah but a huge porting issue comes along with it it is not easy this time
hey Capy
I can help you too, but I think many people would really like to try a version even without Sense. I personally could not care less for Sense...I'm running LauncherPro on Bludy's Senseless ROM.
Just remove rosie.apk when its done.
IMO the focus should be on getting it to run rather than stripping down sense.
so true eyegor
I'm really going to check back here alot and see how you all get along with this.
If i were more skilled with things like this i would offer my help right away.

no body interested for doing it on tab?
is tab HDPI or MDPI?
im using the MDPI ones but i still have gap between picture
i already use 5 row icon for launcher pro, but still 6 row actually to get the picture aligned quite right
i also set the lcd density back to 240 otherwise the picture is much smaller >.<
and i'm a total noob using the photoshop
who knows there's some tab owner here interested in this and posted their own icons for share
i upload mine, using the MDPI ones
still on trial basis, but thats how it looks
get desktop visualizer from the market and you can do it how ever you want
already know bout that, and i already follow the guidance on the link
i just thought it would be fun if a lot of tab user like the appearance and starting to make the icons on their own, so that ppl who's incompetent with creativity and photoshop like me can enjoy other's creativity too ^^
i already got some though from that forum
Lol that looks interesting.
Btw the tab is a hdpi device.
ah, i see
i'll try to scrap from HDPI forum then hehe
thanks
You'll need more rows/columns with LP/ADW. Ill have a go at it in a bit to find the right layout needed.
Sent from my GT-P1000
seriously?
since almost all of them is using 4 column definitely, and not more than 6 as i recall coz most of them is using 4" smartphone
4 column being 3x1 and 1x2
but sure, give it a go
would love to get another input from another tab user hehe
what i'm curious is about getting unread number on text or mail or phone
already get the signed apk, but since it was originally for hero and friends, the ppi and the res and the blablabla is not correct when i installed it in tab, ended up in 1x1 widget when its supposed to be 1x2 on their phone
i think its awesome ... and works fairly well
my lock screen and 5 screen dock
Nice ^^
how to customize the lock screen though? never knew how ^^
so you make your own icons using that .psd given?
willing to share your icons? hehe

search in the market for widget locker, it lets you place wigets and customize the lockscreen to a extent, it was really buggy for me tho.
Do you know how to use Photoshop at all?

thats why i'm starting this thread so that more tab user making them and some willing to share their work, and i download it, for a mix and match
i'm grabbing some already from the original forum, but still i dont have all the needed icon like angry bird above or other games
maybe its a disgusting habit, but hey, thats all i can do for now ^^
as natious said .. its widget locker .. seems to be okay for me although i'm not trying to do anything to fancy with it
got most of my icons from the android forums in this thread
http://androidforums.com/android-themes/199936-android-phone-7-theme.html
They also have the psd files to make your own
oh, i guess i havent got to the last page then ^^ thanks
i know bout the psd files, but i really dont know bout photoshop, so its kinda useless for me
i'm guessing you're making it on your own coz their psd is 3x1 and 1x2 while some of your icon looks like 2x2

What launcher are you using, tomorrow i plan to whip something up like this, but im using adwEX and have 10x8 set so they most likely wont work for you unless you have the same number of cols/rows.
Do you have photo shop installed? It really isnt that hard to use, if you want todo basic things

I have my screen set up to 4 cols and 5 rows and 240 dpi (182 works okay too but the icons dont quite line up)
I just used the icons from the thread mentioned above and use launcher pro with the stretch option switched on

im using launcher pro, so i dont think i had a problem with using 10x8
no i dont have photoshop, but im using acdsee for resizing the icons i get for not aligned well
i get these icons that aligned pretty well and its around 158x150 for 1x1 width x height
so all i do was resizing them so it wont gap too much
hehe
what i mean with the photoshop is i'm using the picture i want, giving labels to them, thats what i can't do
maybe i'll install one later and try, it shouldnt be that hard supposedly

[GUIDE] Wallpaper-Template (Stock Launcher + LP) [UPDATE: 30-Jun-2011]

Hey there
Since it seems kinda hard to get your wallpaper not cropped, I made a template just for the TF (Stock Launcher)^^
The whole wallpaper has to be 2048x1504, even thought your homescreen will only show 1368x804 of the whole wallpaper...
Your wallpaper has to contain a section you will never see (top: 123px, bottom 175px)
And to on the left & right side 20px you will only see through the bounce-effect.
If the template is not enough I can write some guide for making wallpapers, too
Good luck ;D
UPDATE 27-Jun-2011:
Added new/updated templates:
Stock - 2048x1504
Stock - 1917x1408
Launcher Pro - 1700x1358
UPDATE 30-Jun-2011:
New Template for portrait mode - 2048x1504
So.. about the resolution thing... the transformer resizes the wallpapers to 1920x1408... so speaking of "sharpness" it doesnt matter if you make it 2048x1504 or 1920x1408 (template is still 1917... I mean... 3 pixels <.<)
The only thing that matters is what you want to see... if you got a bigger picture you want to see, take the higher resolution and the transformer will scale it down to 1920x1408 by itself.
Going to rewrite the guide for both resolutions tomorrow (if i have time to..)
*suggestion: maybe you can make us wallpapers, like make a wallpaper thread just for the TF.. just saying. / other than that, thanks for the template
Sent from GadgetViews.... Rockin Evo CM7 Nightlies.
the problem with making wallpapers is that I dont know what exactly you want to see on your homescreen
sure, if someone needs help I can build the wallpaper for him, its easy with wallpapers bigger than 2048x1504, but it gets kinda tricky if the wallpaper is smaller then you have to add custom borders to each site so the pic you want to see is in the center.
If you are ok with black borders around the pic, then thats no problem too, but if you dont want a black frame around the pic, it's a lot of harder to make it fit and look good
So if you can't get it done yourself, just ask If I got time to spare I'll help you out.
thanks for the template!
maybe someone should just make a wallpaper thread and we can all post ones that work nicely in it.
if no one makes one before i get around to making some wallpapers, i'll do it
2048x1504px
I was using 1920x1408 which seems to work perfect for me, I even checked if it gets resized using a 2x2px grid - strange.

Using wallpaper wizardrii, isn't helping.
Holding the tablet horizontal 99% of the time, gives me short, not long enough, views of the wallpaper
I've tried the dimension up top in every way possible lol
H (2048) x W (1504)
also
W (2048) x H (2048)
I can take screen shots but im about too see if this tablet can/will be a true transformer out the window

LP plus with auto-rotate
The original Asus tree wallpaper that was ripped from a TF was 2135 x 1408 pixels. I see that your dimensions are slightly different. Are you saying that the original had less/extra information in it than was necessary, or just that 2048 x 1504 looks good enough onscreen not to need to make it precisely like the original please?

The resolution I use was mentioned in the Home Screen Thread and its working flawless. If you for example take my template and set it as your wallpaper, you will see that the crop-selection fills the whole pic. Even thought the crop-lines shown, arent the real ones you will have after the cut (Mine are the real ones.. )
the problem with 2135x1408 is that when you crop it, there is a part which is not in the crop-selection-field.. so you wont get 2135x1408, but 1917x1408 and your center screen will be about 1280x753... maybe they did it because display resolution is 1280x800.. but yeah they got 1280 with their version and we got x804 with mine maybe I should "optimize" it to x800 ;D
Ok cheers for the info.
So here is a first version of the launcherpro template
pic size is 1700x1358
homescreen is 1362x800
still trying to figure out whats the best resolution for the homescreen area...
EDIT:
see first post
sweet will try this..i am amking them @ 1920x1408
updated first post =)
if somebody still has problems just feel free to ask

Put them on the internal or external sd, long tap the homescreen, choose wallpapers, then gallery and search for your picture last you have to resize the crop-thing to cover the whole screen. at least thats the way for the stock launcher

Thx, but definition image is blurry now
My original is 1680*1050, and you made 2048*1504 with my picture, the stretching modification render is not sharp now...
Picture resolution must be 1368x804 ? (with a little crop, to keep original ratio if necessary)
So can you make a picture with this resolution 1368x804
After resizing my picture, can you center it in your template, with black color surrounding in non-shown parts ?
