Update:
I have put one for OS 2.1 version. this one is with scrollbar, no customized screens yet. 800k looks very small.
------------------
hi all friends,
I have mod the original launcher little bit, to add a screen indicator, the source code version is 1.6.
how to install :
Code:
adb remount
adb push Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk
Hope you like it.
updated, change the indicator picture little bit.
if you want to change it, the images are under res\drawable-port and res\drawable-land
I put a 2.1 version in the attachment. with scrollbar instead of image .
thanks.
Looks cool
This is pretty cool, I have often wished Android came with this functionality by default.
I made some screenshots in case people want to see without pushing the apk. They're JPG so obviously it looks a little better on the phone.
Keep in mind this Launcher has 3 screens, so if you're coming from a 5-screen Launcher you'll have to re-organise your icons beforehand.

Yeah, reminds me the bottom lines on Home++, its great.
I wonder if it's possible to change either anderweb's or this one to be similar to the scroll bar on sense roms or espresso.

I make the mod by several line of code, if make the scrollbar, I think need more coding. let me think if it's possible.

Haha this is clever, good job!

when i first saw AnderWeb's launcher, that's the first thing that i tried to do, but really haven't figured out something yet. The closest I came was the sense ui in my adw themed launcher2 thread. i do agree. Getting this will be awesome! Seems like we are slowly but surely gettin' donut to run like sense/2.0 without having to ever switch roms. All thanks to the great devs we have here on xda. Keep up the good work!
looks lots of people like sense ui.
Afaik, the sense scrolling thing is pretty much the same as nexus scrolling dots with a minor annoyance:
-if you do it graphically identical (following the circular pattern on the drawer 5ab) you are condemned to a fixed number of screens by design.
-if you want customizable screen number, it can be done the same way as Home++ does, with a bottom stright line (same way as the mod on this thread)
so users need to make the choice
It shouldn't be too hard to implement the sense bar, the rogers magic on cupcake has it. i myself hate the sense iu

So it would be possible to have it look similar but the bar wouldn't move like in sense?
good idea..but don't work on my super d 1.10.2 :-(
Why?
tnx

I wouldn't mind sticking with a set number of homescreens. I myself have become accustomed to using just five homescreens and that alone. I think 5 is plenty, but I'm just one guy and other people have different desires and needs. I wouldn't mind seeing it put into action. I am very much a big fan of sense ui, if you haven't already noticed. lol

I would try it on super d, and post feed back.
Summarize all friends' comment,
1, scroll bar would be better.
2, customized number of screen would be better.
If you're anything like me, you're able to appreciate precision...
Such as alignment, things being linear... or perhaps something just fitting on-screen, rather than causing obscure transparent affects on what is (by default) an otherwise beautifully designed, perfectly matched lock screen.
Now, after having said all of that... I'm sure most of you are wondering what I was just rambling about. Well, if you haven't discovered this already... then I suppose I'll elaborate. Once you have applied a lock screen wallpaper, it is then automatically rendered to fit the screen resolution of, "480x800"... which in turn causes your wallpaper quality to typically be compromised if the resolution isn't already EXACTLY that!
Also, you'll noticed that your "curtains" become faded and transparent. Which again, for someone like myself... I do NOT enjoy looking at my wallpapers through "curtains" or "slivers of glass".
DOWNLOAD LINKS:
1.) MegaUpload
2.) RapidShare
Here are a few examples of wallpapers I've adjusted to fit within the TOP AND BOTTOM CURTAINS... which have been fashioned with "black bars" to overlay the coverage areas of your curtains... SEE BELOW! MORE THAN 15 WALLPAPERS ARE INCLUDED!
wow wow
this is
GREAT
THANKs
Thank you!
Thank you for your hard work and for sharing!
Stupid question alert....can somebody please remind me how to set a picture as your lockscreen wallpaper? I'm no noob but for the life of me I can't find this setting! TIA.

Thanks fellas.
Wasn't too much of an issue to throw these together... just figured I would share them with people who might feel the same about the lock screen curtains.
They are very good! And the idea to add black bars on bottom and a top is great, thanks!

Or are there like special wallpapers for the the topaz? With standard clock and slider? Cause like every good wallpaper, gets covered by the clock and things... but i like the standard design...

I use the default gradient with manila as i like a stock manila look to my phone rather than loads of different colours.
If you install the attached cab it will give you the high quality gradient on all tabs.
This is for sense 2.5 if your using sense or manila 2.1 it wont work
thank u! installed it and im going to keep it, is this available with the same gradient but with the grid that comes on stock too?
anyone else got something in the direction of not colorful, stylish understatement stuff ? ^^
maybe if it interests u, i found someting that really looks awesome in my opinion:
take the attached picture and use the awesome (must have) cookie´s home tab, there u can have multiple app screens like on ipod, u can switch to make the app grid invisible, so u can make it pop up and since the grid is invisible it leaves the screen almost blank, look at my attachments...
Do you like it?
about ur program: if its installed i cant use any wallpapers, except for the animated stocks, so i had to uninstall
Hi guys,
I'm not sure if this has been opened already, but I thought it would be best if we could have a place where we can gather wide wallpapers for HD2.
Feel free to share your best wide wallpapers. It would be great if we won't see double posted wallpapers here.
Looking forward to see your collections!
Just some I use.
Try them if you like.
search for 960x800 wallpapers . lots of them in nexus and android xda threads,
but then feel free to post yours..nothing can be more
ok, iam posting some
For STi owners like me...or fans...

Yep. When I look at these pictures in normal album viewer they look AMAZING. But then once set to a background. They just look kinda fuzzy.
Now if I do one thats just like a graphic image, not a live picture or scenery, they look perfect. Just the live/scenery pictures look distorted.
Apocalyptic wallpapers for CHT 1.8.5
We all know Android's wallpaper scrolls left/right, so wallpapers are not the size of the screen's resolution.
Anyone figured out what the right size for the Transformer yet?
EDIT: So I used the app "Wallpaper Set & Save" and Saved the stock wallpapers.
Guess what the resolution is.... 1920X1408!!! crazy.
It's 2135 x 1408 pixels. More details in my list here:

this is all so dumb, I can never get a damn wallpaper to show what I want.

Is it definitely 2135x1408? I was messing about with some yesterday and found that 1920x1408 seemed correct... am I missing something?

I modified that template that's been floating around - resized and I added some yellow shading to show sections that appear as you scroll between screens...
Hope this helps, or at least gives people a springboard to start showing me the error of my ways.

The first person who had extracted the default asus trees wallpaper image said that it was 2135x1408pixels, and I had no reason to doubt them. I think what most people aren't realising is that there's an 'overscrolling' part to the image, so when you get to the furthest left or right screen, it scrolls a bit more if you try to keep scrolling. That image posted in the tips thread wasn't exactly to size by the way. It was just a representation of how the panels are, and what screens you see them on. The top and bottom of the image are only shown if you bring up the apps or home menu screen respectively. I'll probably modify it a bit later.
You can use any image and it will stretch it just fine anyways.
Can someone size these so I see them on my first page?
Everything I try messes up!

Yeah I tried can't. I made it exactly as what I extracted from the stock wallpapers and still cropped all over the place.
This is really confusing/frustrating. argh.

A great workaround is the wallpaper slideshow live wallpaper. Just put your 1280x800 image in a folder and select the folder in the settings. Positions perfectly and doesn't scroll off.
here you go... when you go to set the cropping, put the box all the way to upper left and expand it to the bottom right all the way... that should set the image to the center home screen, with some black bars on pane A B D and E... these are inevitable unless if you can source an image that is extra wide... use the image i provided to create the rest of your wallpapers... let me know if you have any issues...
Man, it's really hard making a wallpaper that has a picture of people/things and make it show up correctly, even with the template.
With patterned pictures, it's easy but a picture of something it's hard. Easy to just make it centered and have blank top/bottom/left/right, but it's ugly heh.
I think the Transformer/Honeycomb treats the tablet when setting wallpapers as Portrait instead of Landscape. I'd prefer it Landscape like on phones, makes cropping wallpapers easier.
If you want a wallpaper that works good in both landscape and portrate try
1608 width x 1280 high works good for me
Has anybody been able to get a definative answer on the right resolution to use for custom wallpapers yet? I to have tried a few different ones and am having 0 luck

I created the template, which is just that a template so that people can tell what part of the image will be shown on the wall. The new crop tool in 3.1 helps resolve this issue, but its still nice to build them outside of Android for many reasons.
Never really thought about the over-scrolling. That maybe because I like static walls that do not move. Its much easier to design interesting layouts when they are static.
One think that YOU may be overlooking is the fact that using the crop tool to scale a larger image WILL NOT produce as clear an image as doing so im photoshop and making the image fit with the native resolution of the screen. Is it a large difference in quality? No, but for graphics nerds its noticeable.

These walls are not large enough to be used on these tablets. If you want a good spot for HD walls check out wallbase.net I get most of my walls from there.
On another not this is the EXACT reason why I want an alternative launcher like ADW or LP so that I can stop the background from scrolling.
I think a more important question is the aspect ratio. Can't find the sweet spot for both landscape and portrait wallpaper

You can't use 2135x1408pixels because when you go to the gallery to fetch the wallpaper you select the image and you are confronted by the 'selection block' (where you have to drag the area to select your wallaper) and 2135x1408pixels doesn't fit within the parameters eg: it's to wide.
If you want to use something that big use 2135x1700
after searching around and trial/error, i've found that 2048x1504 works fine for me...
