Launchers and switching between them - General Questions and Answers

Hey all,
i was wondering would it be possible to create a launcher which combines other launchers.
example:
i installed launcher pro, MIUI launcher and HTC sense stock launcer.
i want to slide from one to an other. see my photoshopped screenshot for what i mean

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

Cool idea, but I doubt that you'll find such an app. Replied to follow the thread, but I doubt that it's possible.
1. How would you then change homescreens in each launcher?
2. How would it work when you have your launchers set to 'infinite loop' (circular scrolling)?

[APP] Vanilla Like Dialer [NO ROOT REQUIRED]

If anyone is interested in a different dialer than the HTC one try Dialer One from the Market. It looks like the stock dialer and has some nice options. Your still stuck with the HTC Phone.apk, but this in combination with LauncherPro is worth it.

Nice find!
I'd love to replace the stock dialer with Dialer One upon phone launch; do I need root access to do this?

No, just stop using Rosie and download LauncherPro or ADW.Launcher. Then set the phone icon to launch Dialer One.

Lock Screen modification question

When browsing through some Themes I have noticed some ics lock screens look like they have about 5 different apps you can launch from the lockscreen. Is that mod a zip you can flash or or is it baked into certain ROMS or is it simply a setting I am missing? I am using CM9 right now and I see no option to add more apps to launch on the lock screen.
Here is what I mean. (Sorry about size I just grabbed it from the thread)

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
hey there
this option is implemented in some ROMS like codename android who lets you choose up to 8 targets(4 costumizable).
other than that you can use app because there are few locker apps that does exacly that.
you can use go locker free theme:

or the paid version :

please consider hitting the thanks button if it was useful
I would also recommend Go Lockker.
It has a lot of theming options.

Sence themes? finding out

My phone is a Star X19i dual sim Chinese made, with some version of sense on it which I don't know.
I presume the Sense version is v2 or lower as there is no lockscreen buttons only a pull down.
The only thing I can find is that the launcher.apk's version is 2.3.6.
Also there was second theme installed in /system/app called 'SkinGreen.apk' which is attached to this post.
I'm using a different launcher from sense but want to theme the parts that I can only do with a different Sense the aka notification bar background, contacts and system settings etc.
So can anyone help me find out what sense I'm running?
Many thanks if you can help me figure this out to allow me to get some extra themes.
Below are some some screenshots of my sense

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is not Sense, but just a replica. You'll only get Sense on HTC devices due to copyright reasons

[Q] how to transparence the app drawer in BeanStalk room

hello everyone
sorry if i made a mistake for posting the thread here !
i just wanna to know how to transparence the app drawers in BeanStalk last rom here
[ROM][JellyBean][4.2.2]BeanStalk Build 1.240 - Updated 6/15/2013 - 4.2.2
without using other app like ( holo launcher or nova launcher .. etc )
any suggestion?? as a default it's black

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
no one have a clue
still waitting !!!!
Well since you asked so nicely here is my take. No. The app drawer is a function specific to the launcher. And since each launcher probably handles the code for transparency differently, it would be easiest for a rom to leave any transparency settings up to that specific launcher. Search your launcher settings for transparency options.

HTC Calendar Widget + Moto Launcher

Few years back I had a HTC M7 and loved the calendar widget today I found the apk of it and installed in on my Moto G3 along with the Sense 8 beta.
However I've ran into a issue;
As you can see when using the Sense 8 launcher everything is fine
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but with the default launcher this happens
I can't find any options anywhere that would make this happen.
Any ideas?

Use another launcher, like nova.
Default launcher is Google Now, it exaggerates the size of many things (like icons and widgets)... I think @dado_13 is on the right track, use a different launcher.
Remember that many of HTC's "things" are closely tied together with the Sense launcher, using them outside of that environment could cause erroneous behavior, using any launcher other than Sense could cause this not to display correctly.
