THANK YOU! I've been looking for this for 2 days!

this works on the sense ui(evo)?????????

Its a launcher. Once you select this as your launcher you cannot use sense (widgets) unless off course you just switch back your launcher to htc sense.

take an icon from your app drawer, drag it to the main body of your background, then drag the icon to the launcher and drop.

sure. i dont take credit for it, as i didnt develop it. just found it wasnt showing in market.

What widgets are those btw? Beautiful or some others? Forgive my ignorance, my EVO arrives tomorrow and it'll be my first Android device, just trying to compile a list of all the stuff I wanna try and I certainly like the overall look you've put together w/ADW and that stuff. Love the wallpaper too btw, I've got the very same one in rotation w/others on my desktop, heh.

beautiful widgets for the time/weather & the vibrate widget.
es task manager is the task killer icon on the right of the battery widget.
battery widget is "batterylife" by curvefish in the app market.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Love the launcher, any way to the HTC widgets??
I use the bookmarks, agenda and clock with time/temps .

unfortunately not.
smooth calendar, or android agenda widget is a good replacement for the htc agenda with some more customizable options.
beautiful widgets is another good replacement for the htc clock. with many types of skins.
the bookmarks im not to sure. never use them personally. if i did i would just use the android bookmark "shortcuts"

Ok will give it a try. But cannot see an Android Agenda widget. All I see is an Android calendar widgej which is very "lite".

does this use less battery life and/or memory than say stock sense?

one thing that i noticed is when you turn on your screen and then drag down to unlock, the wallpaper will shift downward as well. is there a fix to this?
i am going to have to dump adw if there isn't a fix for this.. it drives me up the wall.

If you have the device held horizontally its going to do that. If that is what you are talking about. Not a glitch.

I like the RAB and LAB buttons. Very useful.
I have the LAB as Phone (to make calls) and RAB as a folder.
The problem is I cannot add/remove apps from the folder.
I initially created the folder on the desktop, added about 10 apps to it then dragged it to the RAB. Excellent. I have access to those 10 apps almost 90% of the time.
Problem is I cannot add a new app shortcut to that folder.
Is there a way to undock/shift the folder from RAB back to desktop to add app shortcuts then back to RAB?
Because I tried adding an app shortcut to the folder by dragging it from desktop to RAB but that app got registered as the bew RAB and I lost the folder. Had to redo it all over.
otherwise its great.
thanks

this any different from ADW.Launcher in market?

[HOMESCREEN] Cover Flow Home screen

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
ok so this is a little guide on how to get the 'cover flow' style homescreen. first off, i think some of you (ok well a small minority) will be happy to know that it doesnt require root. all you need is launcher pro or adw luncher and multipicture live wallpaper. now there is a drawback to this method, which is you cant change your wallpaper unless you edit the .psds provided. oh and just for the record i am currently using miui rom but it is not needed. ok so here we go.
1) download the coverflowwallpapers.zip containing the wallpaper for each page
2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
3) get rid of the dock bar and icons from the launcher. it would be a good idea to set a swipe gesture to show the app drawer so you still have access to all your apps. i would also recommend changing the number of home screen rows to 5 to compensate for the row lost due to the thumbnails.
4) download MultiPicture live wallpaper from the market.
5) go to select wallapaper/live wallapers/then select multipicture and then press settings
5) using the images you downloaded from this post and change the wallpaper for each page. (seeing as im a nice guy i numbered them for you)
6) finally, got to the transition type and choose your favourite one. i chose to go with wipe as it makes the thumbnails look like they are rotating but some of the others look great too.
so there it is. hopefully this tutorial isnt too hard to follow. also if you have your won ideas/modifications, post them here cos i wanna see them too
heres a crappy video of it in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx0uGYOUWR0

thanks for doing this! trying it now.

2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
How'd you make it default?

Hit the home button and then a prompt will show your available home screens and launchers. Check the radio button on the bottom of the pop up and select adw or launcherpro. You can clear the "default" if you decide to do something else and not use LP or ADW.

after downloading a new launcher from the market, press the home button and it should give you an option to which launcher you want to go to. check the make default option and then press the launcher you want.

ok, how do I get rid of the dock bar and how do I set a gesture for getting it back?

sputnik99 said:

The way I am doing it is by replacing the icons with a blank icon. Essentially the icons are still there, but invisible and I can still assign a swipe up gesture if I wanted to.

You probably don't want to use the term "cover flow" as I would be willing to bet Apple has a trademark on that term.

2 things :
1. first and foremost, thank you for actually listening to us and making this available for us to use.
2. since no one is really taking the initiative can you make several different walls and icons for us?
Thanks,

sorry I simply don't have the time to do that. this setup was initially made for me but some people asked me to share how I done it so I did. I knew not everyone would like the wallpaper and/or icons which is I why I uploaded the .psd file. there's only so much I can. also it doesn't seem like many people are interested but that's cool as i know this kind of setup is not for everyone.

Don't be discouraged. I've liked this setup since I first saw it--it's very different. If I hadn't just rehauled my own homescreens, I'd be slavishly copying yours.
I do have the time and tools to make something out of your .psd too, so maybe when I get home (i.e. to the PC with photoshop installed) I might try my hand at it.

Favorite clock/weather widget?

So one of the only things I find myself salivating at on my wife's HTC Incredible 2 is the Sense weather/clock widget. Thing looks badass. I've found some of the ripoffs on the appstore, and have installed Beautiful Widgets, which has some pretty cool clocks, but a lot of them look like janky crap.

Do you guys have a favorite or has anyone found one that gives the sense widget a run for its money?

Fancy Widget Pro is great. I prefer it over Beautiful Widgets and Weather Toggle & Widgets.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidgets
I guess the new version is called just Fancy Widgets

Weather and Toggle Widgets. I use the Digital Clock skin:

Thanks for the suggestions The couple of clocks I've downloaded for Fancy Widgets(I only had free before, but just bought full version) are already way better quality than the ones on Beautiful Widgets. Will try to post a screen shortly

Beautiful Widgets is my favorite. Lots of options and skins

Second to that, plus they had it as an Amazon Free App of the day once. Woohoo!

Beautiful Widgets all the way. I've been using the destroy skin with a transparent background. Around 50% that way I can see my screen background.

DroidX Eye Clock widget
At some point in the last nine months I had a DroidX Clock widget on my OG Droid. I really was just a clock widget that used the DroidX Eye as a background, and offered a choice for the eye color (red, blue, green, yellowish). It was lost at some point in one of the many times I flashed different roms to that phone. I have looked a few times in the last couple of months, but have been unable to find it.
If anybody has seen that widget, or has it, I'd love to get it installed on my Droid Charge.
(BTW: Verizon tunred on 4G in my area today, and it is crazy fast... loving it).

Actually. Use go launcher and then get.goweather. your wife will be salivating looking at your phone. They.have an htc style clock that is better than htcs. And the coolness.of go launcher is a "see it to appreciate it" thing. Set your app drawer to have the blind effect. Its awesome lol.

Alternative
Advanced clock pro is an alterative if you like a modern look. I also use aix weather.

Check out GS Flip Clock wallpaper. I'm running version 4.3 on my Samsung Tab and it's fantastic. It is as close as you can get to the HTC version. It had some growing pains initially, but as of version 4.3 everything seems to be working great.
I didn't pay for it, so I must have found the apk via Google. I remember searching for quite a while because HTC had been putting the smack down on any developers who used the flip clock style.
Currently it is on the market (website only, it didn't show up when I searched using the market app on my Charge) for $2.00. Since I'm a "noob" I can't post the direct link. Search for GSFlipClockWallpaper by Sergey Golovanov

[Q] stretching a widget

Is there a way to stretch the news @ weather widget so it completely fills out the screen horizontally? Here's a screenshot taken on my n4: http://imgur.com/7GzoAO2
I want the widget to be one cell wider, but it's not resizable. Any possibility?

I think you would have to use a different launcher.

Is there no other way? I actually want to keep the Google Now launcher.

Google launcher doesn't allow widget resizing. What is it about GEL you want to keep? Maybe you can reproduce it.

I'm just not into all that customizing and so on, i just want stock Android. This is the only widget i can't resize.

Maybe if you go for something like Nova, you can have it look exactly the same as GEL. the only difference would be that instead of swiping right to get to google now, you'd have to add it to a swipe up gesture or something.
Mine just looks like this

Yes it does, as long as the widget in question supports it, and the News & Weather widget does support resizing.
Long press it, release and you'll see the edges are now highlighted; drag the dots to resize.

I just downloaded the Nova launcher and there are a LOT of options. Is there a guide on how to make it look and behave exactly like the stock Google Now launcher (or as close to that as possible)?

It should look like it pretty much out of the box

I tried making it look like stock Google Now launcher but i don't think it's possible. Don't like how it looks.

The app symbols look way too small and it overall looks weird and doesn't really fit anymore. Is there no launcher like Google Now launcher, but that allows you to resize every widget?

Links aren't working for me so not sure what you mean. You can set icon size to whatever you want. Just go through all the menus one by one.

You need the paid version to resize the icons.
Long-press the app drawer icon to change it to the flat white version.
Also, the Search Bar can be set to the same size if you play around with the number of rows.

Don't have time for it. Is there no guide to explain every option you need to change ti make it look like the Google Now launcher? If not, i'll just get rid of the news widget.

Question Is there anyway to fit more app icons on the home screen the default

Hello, I have a Galaxy S10+ and I am setting up my new Pixel 7 Pro, but I have a problem, I have set the font size and display size to the smallest and set the screen resolution to the highest but I am still not able to have 5 icons side by side as used to on my Galaxy S10+, can you fix that on the Pixel 7 Pro or is that not a possibility.

Hold an empty spot on the desktop, then go to wallpaper & style, set the grid size to what you want on the bottom of the menu.

Ahh ok, had totally forgot that was the cause, lol such an easy task.

Or alternatively avoid Google's launcher and go for something infinitely more customizable and superior. I'd advise Nova Launcher.

Or group them and with one extra touch you can quadruple the number available.

I seem compelling as the stock launcher with the search bar in the buttom and the at glance in the top sucks ass.
Do you miss anything by installing the nova launcher or do you just get extra stuff and another launcher, like is there any reason to stick with the default launcher other then keeping it stock.

I like to use the default apps, including the launcher, when they allow me to do what I want/need. But when it comes to the Google/Pixel launcher I feel that Google is acting like Apple in NOT ALLOWING me to remove the STUPID search bar! I have never needed or used a search on a cell phone! So I do not want it taking up my screen real estate! So then, it's back to Nova Prime!

Ues I am thinking the same also for the "At a Glance" stupid thing, google, please allow me to remove these things.

~86 apps, 12 folders, 8 widgets - made to look like 15 app icons and 4 obvious folders (and 8 widgets). I might've lost count of the apps and skipped a few. In Nova Launcher Prime, with some "folders" set to behave like apps unless I swipe up or down on their icons. Some icons I have different swipe up and swipe down actions to launch other frequently used apps that I don't really need an icon for.
