get original launcher at custom ROM - HTC Desire S

dear all,
i have on my desire S the last Coredroid customROM.
i like it, but it has the more quadratic "launcher" or bar (where the phone app is located),
but i like the half-round original one --> how can i get it?
is the any apk i can install or insert something?
further how can i replace from the "launcher" or bar the personalisation vrs a e.g. email widget?
thanks!

First of all, sry i don't know how you could get an more round bar, indeed i don't really know what you mean cause for me the phone bars at stock and at coreroid look alike, maybe it's cause their is an other sense version^^ But i must confess i never stayed long on the custom home screen from sense, i'm running go launcher^^

Have you tried installing a new skin? You are still using sense 2.1 these should work. Try them out...

HTC apps can't be ported to ant other phone or Rom without the sense UI. Please search next time as you would of easily found the answer.

No since the Phone app is tied to contacts, etc. Replace the icon using Bettercut if it bugs you that much.

Which part?
If you're talking about the Phone icon on the FroYo Launcher then you'll have to change that code yourself otherwise I would use another Launcher such as ADW or the likes then you can put whatever phone app you want in those short cuts.
ok, shame im not a coder
Check out Nubdial. It runs better than dialerOne IMO>
I have a MyTouch, so when I press the off hook key (dialer) it would as me what phone/dialer to launch/default if there's more than one installed. Is that not the case with N1?
You can try launchers like home++, helix, adw, or launcher pro, which alt. shortcut keys at the bottom of the home screen for you to configure.

No sure about that, here is a HTC music port which runs pretty damn good on MT3G on Eclair.

[Q] How to prevent home screen icons from moving accidentally (lock icons in place)?)

I keep moving my home screen icons (widgets) accidentally, like when I try to pull down the notification bar.
Would someone know of an app or setting that locks the icons once one configures the screens?
Thank you.
Not sure of an app that does it but I'm running the Ultimate Droid ROM and it has a "lock desktop" option when you pull up the menu. It does exactly what you are looking for.
CM7 also has this option.

Guess time to change rom
On Revolution HD 4.0B all I see when click on menu are: all apps, notifications, personalize, wallpaper, ringtones, settings. And submenu on either has nothing on "locking".
Probably time to change, any suggestions for use on ATT?
Thanks

just for clarity's sake - when you post a thread and ask a question, PLEASE let us knwo which rom you're using. it's different between launchers/UI's (ie sense, ADW, stock).
in sense, i don't know of an option to do this, however there is one in CM7 i think (which uses ADW)
You can tell I'm new , thanks.
I'm using Sense 2.1 built in the ROM.
I haven't found an option like this in my Sense ROM (TPC Optimized atm, looking at ClearDroid). If I see anything I'll pass it along - this could be helpful too for when my 4-year-old accidentally closes Angry Birds and starts looking around on my phone.

Shortcuts

Evening all,
Just got my new sensation, really happy with it at the mo. Still using the stock ROM, but I'm sure I'll change soon.
I have tried to search but can't find the answer. What I would like to know is can a change the shortcuts at the bottom of the stern ie the app and theme buttons?
Thanks in advance.

Yes but you will need to use an alternate launcher like ADW, Go Launcher, etc. It would replace the Sense launcher so you do lose some Sense functionality.
Thanks,
I thought as much. Really wanted to keep all my sense for now.

[Q] Editing "pop up menu" to have only 2 rows.

Hey, tried to find this from different forums, and googled my ass of, but didnt find any solution. So:
I was wondering that could i somehow edit something to get my "menu" to have only 2 rows like in picture number one, instead of 3 rows on picture number two.
I think i saw this to be possible when i flashed some theme a long time ago. I really dont like cuz the menu covers up almost half of my screen
Thanks and PEACE!

Are you using adw launcher? If so that is why you have that problem, try launcher pro

You could try changing the font size.. it worked..at least for MIUI..

Got the answer from he_stheone64 .
Im using Endymion 3.2 Rom with "Sense launcher" and now it looks like i want
he_stheone64 said:
You can control the menu layout in icon_menu_layout.xml in layout-port folder of framework-res.apk.
These are the important values:
android:maxRows="3" android:maxItemsPerRow="3" android:maxItems="6"
So change them to whatever makes sense for you. I used that for my 1-click Menu in order to avoid more then 1 click and increased these values.

[GUIDE/THEME] [3/4/13]How to make your phone look like the new HTC One (Sense 5.0)

Before I start, I want to make one thing clear-I'm a noob
You can also watch this video by me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9T7hF52t40
This is really easy!
1. Download the following apps:
Apex Launcher- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher&hl=en
Sense 5 Theme- https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zYW1hbnRoYWNvbm5lci5zZW5zZSJd
UCCW- https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImluLnZpbmVldHNpcm9oaS5jdXN0b213aWRnZXQiXQ..
2.Click the menu button and select Theme Settings
3.Click on Sense 5 Theme and make sure all the boxes are checked (font doesn't work so leave that)
4.Now your launcher looks like Sense 5.0 you need the new clock widget
5.For the clock widget, we are going to use UCCW and a skin for it which can be found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37708146&postcount=157
6.Extract the zip file to your microSD card
7.Now add a 3x1 UCCW widget and clcik open uzip
8.Locate your extracted file and click on it
9.Resize your widget
NEW: v2.0!
DO everything the same EXCEPT instead of the theme app use this one instead: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...5ubGFiLm11bHRpbGF1bmNoZXIudGhlbWUuc2Vuc2V2Il0.
Also download Theme Extractor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yZWRwaHgudGhlbWV4Il0.
Now instead of using the old theme use this new Sense 5 HD Multi theme and tick everything.
Run Theme Extractor and locate the first dock and save it to your microSD.
Now in Nova Settings, click dock and select custom background. Locate your extracted dock. It might look a bit off but still Sense 5. The other alternative if to run this theme on Go Launcher EX. That way it's perfect!
Also a new, paid alternative to the UCCW which has working farenheit and degree plus blinkfeed can be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImh0Y3NlbnNlNS5wZW5ob2F0ZGVzaWduLnVjY3ciXQ..
You now have a home-screen similar to sense 5.0!
If you are running a Viper ROM, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38091665&postcount=6
Known Problems: On some devices, the number for the temperature is in Centigrade but the symbol is for Fahrenheit
Please tell me any more bugs etc.
I will add screenshots soon!
Thanks!

For the weather, I'm not sure because mine never refreshes either, whenever I reboot it refreshes though. I'll find out for you and see if there is an auto refresh. Thanks for the links too!

hmmm... thankyou...
and also, is there a chance to make date, day, month, am/pm, wearher condition, location, current temperatur follow automatically, example when 1.01 and 12.48 the distance of pm/am never changes, I know, uccw is a minimalist app, but it makes my homescreen looks weird by time, location, and weather changing

Well, UCCW allows lots of customisation eg. Change font, colour size etc.
So just have a play around and move things about and see if that helps
Mine isn't perfect either but after a bit of fiddling it looks better
it look good :laugh:

I'm guessing you're running ViperSAGA. I'm not entirely sure about the AM/PM problem. If you want, you can download a Sense 5.0 UCCW skin from the play store which does cost money but is much better.
