Hi all...
...can you tell me, if is possible edit ORIGINAL moto circle widget for use on another launcher???
...on adw etc???
Good question...will look into it!
The only thing simple is the belief in simplicity.
I just thought I would mention this as an alternative: I saw a theme someone had made, and he had what looked like the Moto circles widget, but it turned out to be Ultimate Custom Widget from the market. It seems that widget is super customizable, with tons of skins and stuff. It might be a good option for people who aren't able to use the stock circle widget.

It has the same looks, but none of the functionality. I tried it a few months back on my Note 10.1.

Over the winter break, I'll look into this and see what it takes to make it work on other launchers. I imagine its just a few simple lines much like it is with multiwindow apps on the Note 10.1 and Note 2.
I'm done with finals Wednesday, so I'll probably crack it open Thursday or Friday.

I would *love* it if you could manage that somehow....I hate having to choose between keeping the circle widget and using a different launcher.
if it helps when you get to working on this there is some code that pertains to the circle widget in the stock launcher might be what the widget looks for on trying to load it.
Cool widget but damn, mine is refusing to update today, hasn't updated since 9:04 this morning. i was about 40 miles away from home, and couldn't get it to update location/weather when i tapped the weather circle to go to the weather app. And i can't find a refresh button or option anywhere. I have all 3 location services checked in settings. Still won't update... anyone ever have this problem with it?
I haven't forgotten about this, I promise. I've just been lazy and enjoying my first week and a half off.
I need to recreate my dev environment and get all my editing tools back, that's what has kept me off of doing this so far.

Just now opened it up and took a look inside. It's going to take me a while to dig through all the code in this thing, there's a lot.
If anyone wants to help and dig through the code with me, I attached the decompiled apk. Use notepad++ or something to view the xml's and .smali's.

Id love to see how it feels to instantly "leap" w/ one hit of the home button.
Dont know if this can be dont w/out Root. Hopefully, one of us knows of an app that can do it already. Or maybe someone can code/hack it.
Maybe I should drop this in Dev department? Maybe I should just hit up all the forms?
Thanks a googolplex in advance,

what are you looking for? instead of 2 taps of home?

yeah. so instead of one tap of home then swipe, or two tap of home then pick, its just one tap home and pick. I think that how macs do it now a days with expose, right?
If mines already on the home screen it only takes one tap....why 1 instead of 2? Your THAT lazy you want someone to design an apk that edits the amount of taps required?

1. Didn't ask for someone to come along and state the obvious.
2. Because 1 is less then 2.
3. Yes, yes I am. especially since that cuts my taps down by 50%.
Seriously, i find it hella annoying that i have to go to the main home screen before i can go to the on that i want. just reverse the order. make one tap go to leap view, and two taps go to main home. I see mac users doing this all the time with expose, and it looks awesome.
It's shouldn't be hard. Just look in leap. Should be able to switch. Lemme go look and see what I can do for you.
What about if you actually want to end on the homepage? If it changed I would believe that would require two taps now instead of the one, its kinda of a toss up.
I wish we could press and hold the menu button to bring up the app drawer. Having android so long I am not used to hitting the bottom left for the Apps but having used DxTop I did get accustom to pressing and holding menu to bring up the Apps
It's shouldn't be hard. Just look in leap. Should be able to switch. Lemme go look and see what I can do for you.

Ok? I dont really see how I came off as not sincere. Not after i clearly stated... "I was super stoked on that. Thanks again."
There is a new launcher in the market right now that im using it works great.it called launcherpro.
I would install "home switcher"also in the market. That way while you are setting up your new layout you can go back and fourth. Without being interrupted by that a default prompt.
Launcher pro has single tap of home button that brings up the leap view, and it also has pinch to leap. With added gesture of dialer, contacts, internet, and messages at the bottom of every page.
Also it has a app launcher similar to the N1. Without the 3d cube effect.
Very responsive worth a try, only downfall is none of the htc widgets work while using this launcher. Bc their widgets are tired in to it.
I use the flip clock from the market, its customizable.and dolphin hd with their bookmarks widget and the friendstream app , that way it still has a sense feel to it.

Works well for me- it still has HTC Sense loaded in the background, which I'm sure if you turned it off would make it run even faster... but it works nonetheless.
I've been using it for two weeks no lag. Rosie is nice for awhile but the widgets are just too big. Plus I get bored quick, and having their widgets on my old eris for six months was enough for me.

So.............. I can't even remember how many people have asked me to look into getting the ticker "call" screen to work when you are using different launchers... Well, I (edit: FINALLY) took a look an hour ago, and I figured it out Right now I have the modifications incorporated into this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883, which i personally LOVE! But yeah, i Didz it
I could probably get it to work with other launchers too, but for now, i'm done... hahaha... I highly suggest checking out that launcher though... It supports samsung widgets (because it is based off of Touchwiz 4.0 launcher ) and works pretty nicely I have a weird obsession with the weather clock we have, so this launcher satisfies that, and more
Alright guys, download time
Install this to the system/app folder (after renaming it to just TW4Launcher )
Download (APK): http://www.mediafire.com/?8jzcxc1p3og69zl
Ok, add this to my WTF list! Lol If I'm running this launcher still get the call options on the large screen. Then, if I switch back to Go launcher, the calls show up in the ticker(Awesome Btw!) . I've gone back and forth multiple times and rebooted... Always the same.
Sent from my GB'ed I400 Continuum
Lol, that's normal! Even with the stock touchwiz launcher the call doesn't show up in the ticker when within the launcher itself... it's when you go to another app that it pops up the reasoning, I assume, is because you are doing important things while in different apps, but when you are home, it's okay to get a more intrusive call method because you aren't doing anything the problem was that the ticker call screen wasn't coming up ever when you didn't load the stock launcher
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
Lolol!! Yes everyone, I am a DA! And I thought my work around was pretty slick: set up a tasker task to run tw4 for 30sec at boot, then I have the ticker call all the time.
Anyway, love this... However it works! Lol

Not asking you to do this, just asking if it's possible... Could this and your "ticker 4 button return to call screen" (ec09) be made into a stand alone app: ie, not tied to a launcher? I'm assuming it's gotta go with the launcher, but as I proved above, don't know much about this stuff

Hello Trailblazer!
It was me. I am the guilty party. I was the one clamoring for this feature all along.
I had an invisible shortcut set to launch TW Launcher any time I happened to reboot my phone, and that was my way of ensuring the call screen function would be there.
Alas, the lure of ICS and JB drew me away from my Continuum to a used Fascinate on eBay, but I still have the Continuum and have made it my kids' phone as a VOIP phone / entertainment device.
Haven't visited this forum in a while...crazy to see what has changed since my last stop. Gingerbread? Your call screening fix? I might have to do some flashing!
Spear...
Are u using google voice + voip?
How is your kids device set up to call etc?
Sent from my SPH-M580BST using Tapatalk 2
Yes. But that's not the whole story.
I use an app called Groove IP. It integrates into Android so that you can make it the default app for outgoing call requests. But it requires a Google Voice account.
So GV is the texting app and the conduit for phone calls in and out. Had to change a setting in my Google Voice account for incoming calls to come to the phone.
Pretty strange still to get texts from my 6 year old when I'm at work.
That's how I have it set up. Just was wondering ...
Yeah my son loves to text when he gets a chance with my phone since he lost his lol.
He beat modernwarfare 2 in under 20 hours, his eigth bday weekend last week.

roaddog665: Well, to answer your question, I incorporated the "ticker 4 button return to call screen" feature into gingerbread, so that's not a problem anymore and for making the "call screen" stand-alone... It could probably be done, yeah... However, if I was going to do that, then the even when you are on the launch itself the call screen in the ticker will show up... Basically all what the code in the launcher does is tells the ticker when to show the call screen, so when it is active, it won't show, and when it is closed, it will! I guess that's not a bid deal, but I don't really know performance wise how well that would work... That's not really on my list of things to do though, because instead I can just incorporate my patch, haha

Thanks for the info! The work around I've been using shows the ticker screen even on the home screen, but it doesn't work all the time. lol I asked about the standalone just because I'm trying to learn about this stuff...but it has a pretty big learning curve for someone with absolutely no programing experience. I was happy getting CRT to work by myself without breaking something!
Hey guys, is there any other launcher that you would want me to try and mod? I'm not saying I can do it/be able to, but if we can come to a consensus, I might take a look at one or two others, haha I have just been pressed for time lately with everything

Oh no Holo Launcher worked fine on me. the touchwiz 4.5 had a few bugs.. But not a problem. Ciscogee's theme works fine with me with any launcher with no problems.
Did you guys just regularly install it, or did you put the apk in /system/app ? Just curious... Because it works great for me, ahha
and I tried doing the mods for the Holo Launcher, and porting it worked just fine... It just the fact that I had to resign the apk that was the problem, and that was something I didn't want to deal with I'll do it eventually, ahha
Just installed beanstown's Jelly Beans build 10. Love everything about it except the way it displays Recently opened Apps when you long press the Home button. Instead of showing it the regular way in vertical list so that 3 or 4 of them are visible, it uses a fancy slanting 3d style where only 1 recent app is visible at a time. I looked through the settings and could not find an option.
Anyone know how to change it? This is an irritating enough paper cut for me to consider changing back to CleanROM.

What you're referring to is actually called "Sense 4 Recent Apps." Idk how to change it but I do know it would be very involving since you would need to decompile/compile systemui and framework-res. You might be able to get away with pulling these from another rom but that's way above what I'm comfortable with blindly referring to others. Here are a couple guides on what goes into adding Sense 4 Recent Apps. I'm sure you could reverse the Sense 4 recent apps with trial and error:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738616
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016520
and lastly
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902293
Note, these guides are for other devices with different size displays so anything referring to thumbnail size would need to be reverted back to GSIII standard values.
Thank you. I was hoping there was an easier workaround in the settings somewhere. Well, will hunt around for an easier solution a little more before trying out your methods.

Facebook Home is now live, in the Play Store. Not my cup of tea, but some of you might like it.
I gave the app a try. I thought it was very well made/designed and easy to use. Animations were snappy and smooth. Gestures were easy to pick up. If I was addicted to Facebook like a lot of people are, I might use it. But I only get one about once a week so I'll stick with my beloved Apex.

Grab an icon and drag it to the right, off the edge of the screen. The GE launcher will create a new home screen for you to drop it on. Drag back to the left and it will remove the unused home screen.
After weeks use of this launcher, there is only one annoyance. The launcher keeps adding a page for reasons I'm not sure of and the page indicator is a plus sign instead of a dot. Can't figure out why it keeps doing that. I have to fix it by adding an icon on the screen and taking it out to have it disappear. See Screenshot.
