So I found where to edit and make the Rosie launcher 4x5 on a Sense 3.0 Rosie but after I get the screen to show 4x5 the touch points are off, what I mean is it is not allowing me to drop items to the lower levels, and when I click on an item to move it, it will sometimes take me to the personalize screen like I was holding down on a blank spot on the screen.
Does anyone have any idea where these values are coming from? As I said I found the .m10 edit to get the workspace but can't move from there. Thanks for any thoughts and let me know if there are any questions...

This is a custom Metamorph I created to change the look of Launcher2. I'm snowed in today so thought I'd share what I had done with my Nexus.
It is a little bloated right now as it has the full drawable folder in it, instead of the just the files to replace. Tested my zip of just the replacement files before posting and for some reason, MM would just stay at the "please wait: applying" screen, but when applying the full WIP zip, everything's good.
What I Morph'd: Apps button (normal & pressed), home arrows, homescreen application highlights/pressed, trashcan (color change only)
Let me know what you think, hope you like it!
where did you get your status bar from?
its called GSII-transparent-status, found it googling for a transparent bar
To achieve the look I want on my HD2 I have had to round up over a dozen CABs and apps (thank you HDWall) to make most everything on my home tab transparent. Some of them have been hard to find or I have found them just to find they are incompatible for one reason or another. My hope is that a single app that has switches for home tab and other tab transparencies can be produced. Much like Co0kie's Home Tab incorporates many changes into one easy to use app.
I am sure I am not the only one who wants something like this. As I said, I have the look I want, it just could have been WAY easier. I imagine this would be a hugely popular app if someone were to take it on.
Thank you for your time.
^+1 for that
after every flash/hardreset I have to run 6 or so cabs to get my homescreen clean
i wish to second this motion.
Example:
pics.danandmiriah.com/decim8/HD2SS01bullets.jpg
** I can't post links or images so copy and paste the link**
To achieve this I had to load the following cabs:
A - Clock- Transparency.cab
B - Orologio Trasparente Antonio_Sense2.5.CAB
C - Calendar Transparent.cab
D - HD Wall created cab which is wallpaper specific (not really transparent)
E - BiGnAdAd TransparentBottomCurtain.cab
F - Touch X remove top curtian.cab
Also installed:
HD Wall and HQ Wallpaper patch
Co0kie's Home tab
Also, if anyone knows of an all white icon set let me know. I am looking for something to compliment the stock icons in the top bar.
Have a look his video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPihz5x4enE
As he explains, the buttons are just part of the wallpaper, fair enough, but how to
get the different apps and activities to respond to touch?
Also, what launcher is the best for the tab... i always find myself annoyed by the fact that icons and widgets never sticks where i want the, or i find a good d placement, but space between are to big, etc..
I have bought both launcher pro plus and open home 6, and there is ADW... but what do you guys think?
Anyman: what do you use in the video?
Get desktop Visualizer and have blank pngs for icons, set a 10x10 grid and you'll b able to put the anywhere, adw and LP can resize Widgets so you shouldn't have a problem with placement

Thx

any size will do, just make it 50x50px, and put them on your sd card where you will remember, all my icons go in sd root/icons
Hey guys, I'm wondering whether there is a way to get rid of the icon labels background on the home screen and make it transparent. IMO it looks ugly. I tried looking for a thread that has a solution for this already but I could not find one, if such thread exist, please help direct me to it.
And anyone who might know the trick to achieve this, please share. Thanks!
If you mean riddance of the black background for the white text for the the icons...

There are 2 ways I can think of (and have tried).
===== If you are on stock TouchWiz: =====
Try the app "Desktop VisualizeR" (spelt exactly like that).
Market Link
Do note it's not the most "efficient" way of making transparent icon label backgrounds so it might be too inefficient for people that change homescreen icons on a regular basis. As in it takes awhile to setup all the icons but it works.
Steps:
1. Go to home screen > add widget > Desktop VisualizeR (1x1 SS).
then...
2. Click on the widget > select icon and action (in this instance you can just use an app "Icon" as the "icon" and the "Launch" action as "launch the app" > fill or leave "Label" > set "Label Color" as "Transparent".
Another thing you can do if you want all your future icons to follow a "template" of your choosing (e.g. I want all my future icons created using this widget / icon to have white text on transparent background), then go into your Applications > launch Desktop VisualizeR program > click "Menu" button on your phone > Settings > and now you can play around with the settings.
===== Use another launcher (such as Launcher Pro or ADW etc.) =====
I'm pretty sure there is a setting in the launcher settings that allows all created homescreen shortcuts to have a transparent label background.
I use the GO Launcher App. It solves the problem easily and shows the switch of the homescreens smoothly ;-)

Thanks guys for your responses. I really wanted to achieve this while keeping the stock TW launcher but there just really isn't an actual mod or anything for this. Since I also wanted to be able to rename the labels, I ended up using GoLauncher EX instead. It's a very good alternative and yes, it is very smooth, especially with a kernel running at 1.7 Ghz.
If you use GoLauncher, you probably noticed that the icons on the dock are much smaller than the ones on your home screen. To make them similar, or in some, equal in size, I had to extract the icons I use on my dock from those .apk's and re-sized them from edge to edge to get rid of the margins because that is what's making them appear small on the dock. I saved the edited icons and put them on my sd card and just used the "Change Icon" option from GoLauncher to use the ones I edited. I also went ahead and made custom icons from folders so that they'll look better at least.
I have a screen shot of my home screen below for you guys to check out. Btw, I'm loving the G-Note! This device is just epic!

Sure. Just download the attachment below. Make sure when you select the icons for use, that you press "No Crop" so that they will display properly.
Thanks a lot, you save me much big time.

You're welcome.
(first of all: I am sorry for any incorrect words/language, I'm still learning english, I read the rules and tried putting this thread into the correct topic, I also considered putting it into > Android Development and Hacking > Android Themes > as a [Q]uestion, but rather put here)
So I was about to make some customization to my htc, currently I'm just testing the possibilites in nova launcher + widgetlocker because I'm not in the situation where I can have my phone installed a new rom. Since I was testing widgetlocker I noticed there is almost no choices regarding the lockscreen out animation to the homescreen. Or at least what I wan't is really different than the few avalible.
My idea is to set up the lockscreen with all the different widgets (uccw/zooper) showing important stuff + a slider. Then icons would be on homescreen. I would use the same high res picture for the lockscreen as for the homescreen. Only just, for the homescreen I would use a blured one, so icons stand out more, a little cleaner.
[Q]: Is there any way possibly changing the widgetlockers animation changing from lockscreen to homescreen, with a custom one?
[Q]: If so, how can one make such an animation, import it into widget locker and then use it too?
[Q]: Can I achieve such a slider that would show now lines of sliding/way of unlocking, just slide my finger through the screen from one side to the other and the whole lockerscreen would just go away, and the homescreen would slide in (like scrolling on pages of the homescreen)?
I want to make the same effect as the nova launcher prime has (which I do not own yet, so I don't know tha proper name of the scrolling effect), called Wipe (maybe), it has a solid line between the pages of the homescreen, so when you slide the icons of the previous page would go away in a line changing up to the next page's icons, lake the previous page was hidden by the next page sliding above it. I would like this effect because it would make a transition effect of the lockscreen clear high res wallpaper blurring, geting to the point where you can't see what's on the picture. (of course I don't want a solid blurring effect, the simple homescreen sliding over the lockerscreen would be the greatest, so apps, and the original wallpaper would go away in a clear line).
I may have some other question regarding this animation depending on answers
For now, I thank you all for any answers or help in the future. I see it's a rather special question regarding that won't be too many people who want to make custom animation for the lockscreen (or at least the lack of google hits on the topic would point that way )
