I'm on DP Rom, using Zeam launcher. The clock is a UCCW widget.
The 't' icon, is the Nook bluetooth tethering widget.
The only problem i have, is that when i turn my watch on, there is a split second delay for the UCCW widget to update to the correct time

No device should be without the mandatory "show your home screen" thread
I like your idea of using UCCW for the clock widget but found that using One More Clock has some nice presets already. Anyway, all I actually wanted to ask is what the best way for taking screen shots on the MotoACTV are... I'm spoiled with the pre-installed tools on my TF101 and the Note II but i still have a tool I downloaded from here a long time ago.
Thanks!

How did you install widgets? I'm on the latest DP rom and every widget that I've install doesn't show up under the list (only the stock ones do) when trying to add a widget to zeam launcher or launcher 7. I just tried one more clock with no avail.

You have to go into Manage Applications and find your installed widget, then click the "move to phone" button.

Carhome app

Does anyone have the carhome app. I found one but when i installed it doesnt show up in my app list
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Its not supposed to show up on your apps list. This is how I do it in launcherpro.
Create a shortcut to 'activities'. Then select carhome.carhome.carhome
Its there but only on the activities list and you have to make a shortcut

It shows up in the apps list of the standard launcher as "Samsung Car Home". Dunno about the TW launcher.
i know googles car home used to show up in my launcher on my dell. but its not there. its supposed to show up in the launcher. i cant even find it in the market but https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.carhome says its installed.

The market is showing that Googles Car Home is not compatible with the Infuse. Maybe that's why it's not showing up.
i got the app from here by googling "carhome apk" and selecting the droid life link (i can't post links yet). then you need launcher pro to use the app. follow slider's post above to use.
Slider,
I was using "Launcher" and now that I downloaded Launcher Pro it has changed all of my icons when I hit the home button. Is there anyway to copy the settings from "launcher" to "launcher pro"?
Thanks again

No, unfortunately not... I think its 2 completely different developers.... sorry....
Um... you can also get the samsung car dock and don't install the samsung car home, instead just use the google car home... Plug it in and bam, google car home comes up... just saying =)

ICS Google Search Widget Theme - High Res/Universal

Hey guys, just wanted to share an ICS search widget mod that works perfectly on our Notes. (Gingerbread) I found this app on the market awhile back, but was pulled down for an unknown reason. I did not write this app & unfortunately I do not even know who to give credit to.
Either way, this is the best method I've found for getting a high res ICS themed search widget - the voice icon also works perfectly. Just install the APK as you would any other application (file manager, root explorer, etc) and the widget will show up in your widget menu.
Here is a screenshot and download link :

Great find, I've been searching for this for ages! Cheers!

You'll need a launcher that allows you to resize widgets, otherwise it will be 4x1 like the stock widget. I use ADW EX w/ 6x1. I know Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, SPB shell 3d, and many others will allow you to resize it.

How did you get your dock to look like that? I have the background image and the ICS icons, however when I set the background that white line touches the top of the icons rather than there being a "gap" like there should be!
I use Kovdev's ICS theme which i believe works with ADW and Go launcher.
Just reporting it worked for me in my Ace...
Downloaded! Great share!! :thumbup:

[REQUEST] Lenovo Lotus Screen Locker and/or Launcher

I am looking for any screen Locker or Launcher software in the style of Lenovo phones. It looks like a glover leaf but it is meant to be a lotus flower.
As I am already searching for a while all hints are appreciated also if they lead to a ROM or anything that's not 100% what I am looking for.
This video shows the lock tool I am searching:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-Qj3PXR-eU
It would be great to have that and to get that ROM from the video. Unfortunately I don't speak any Russian.
In this XDA Developer Thread aalopez10 asks for the launcher. Unfortunately the apk file there is in Chinese, the widget is 3x3 but I need a 4x* widget.
And the result on my phone (Lenovo A750) does not look as nice as the screenshots posted there.
A non-text version of that launcher can be found here: http://www.4shared.com/android/gSVXdxoy/Launcher_signed.html?refurl=d1url
Another disadvantage of that widget is that it can't be modified. You cannot define the buttons yourself.
I also tried the ROM by cybermaus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650014
It has an app called Lotus, Magic Launcher or GoLauncher for Lenovo. But this version of Magic Launcher has two buttons that cannot be userdefined and it is also in Chinese.
Thanks in advance!
So here are serveral pictures of what I am looking for:
Screen-Locker:

(From other thread, CES 2011)
(From Video, russian ROM?)
Launcher-Widget
(Lenovo K800)
(Lenovo A520)
(LenovoWidget.apk - did not look that good on my phone)
Update: I found both the Go Launcher with the right theme and the Idea Widget / LenovoLeWidget in the GB 2.3.6 ROM from cybermaus.
But unfortunately these files are odexed and I cannot use them on ICS. Is there any way to deodex or whatever needet to install them on ICS?
milocker has a great lotus lockscreen clone. Peep it out.
Thank you, good hint. I found lot's of very beautiful lockscreens but so far nothing that comes close to that Go Launcher lotus lock screen above.
Do you have any more hints or maybe a link?
Only launcher

App like simi-folder - floating shortcuts?

Hi folks,
I'm looking for an app where if I press a shortcut (from Pie specifically), it will bring up a bunch of pre-defined app shortcuts.
Simi folder works well, but the problem for me is that it positions itself oddly. Its fine if I launch it from the dock row of icons (which I actually want to replace) but because Pie is built into systemUI, it positions itself near the status bar.
I dont want something that swipes from the side of the screen or similar. I just want to press a button and have the icons pop up, preferably in a predefined location, but at least not at the top of the screen
This is what simifolder looks like (as launched from home screen)
{
"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"
}
which would be perfect, except the problem is if launched from Pie, its at the top of the screen, which is annoying.
Does anyone know of similar apps that would do this, launchable from a custom shortcut?
Did you already try out PopUp Widget?

Quite nice, maybe for you...

No but it does look good... I could make a nice UCCW widget for the apps I want to launch.
Open to other ideas too.

I prefer Zooper, but I am just in the first steps with popup widget. UCCW should work, too.

[Q] Softlock Button Idea

Hey Guys,
actual i have a Widget on my Homescreen to Lock my Device:
{
"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"
}
And here is my Question now.
Is it Possible to Lock the Screen with an App from the Homebutton (Longpress), where you can get to Google Now?
Maybe just replace the Google Now Link there. (All on a rooted Orig Firmware w/ locked BL.)
It would be quicker to just replace one of the 4 links at the bottom of the home screen with a shortcut to that app) that's what I have

I did this too, but it feelt kinda awkward for me.
This space is used as i like it the most (Screenshot).
The quick way is not the best for everyone, so i hope to get any help/answer how to do that.
But Thanks for your help and sorry for my broken english
Edit:
I found a Solution, Root is not required, so everyone can do this..
Home Button Launcher is the launcher for swiping up from the home button.
Soft Lock Screen is the App to lock your screen. (The one i used before didnt worked well, because i need a App for the launcher and not a Widget). Dont forget to Check "Auto Start Mode" if you only use one App in the Launcher
You dont have to wait till the Icon appears, what i tought first... just swipe up from your homebutton.
You can use DTSO from play store and you have a transparent widget in the Widgets section on your phone. Put the widget on the screen and...THAT'S IT!
