ADW EX

This works fantastic, disabled the dock and currently running 10 rows 7 columns
Asus weather widget looks standard size.
The bookmarks widget looks fantastic the larger use make it, you just get more on the screen.
Totally awesome IMO well worth the money.

Is there a specific version that you are using for TF? Or any version of ADW EX work?

1.3 and above is what you're looking for. Previous versions doesn't have support for high density screens so the 5 icon dock will be squished in the center, 1.3 addresses this.

I've tryed all the transition animations and *curve* is the best non lag one out of the bunch. No matter how many widgets it just wont slow the butter smooth scrolling.

Can you post a screen shot? I'm just currious as to what the pros are for using this over stock?

Big pro's for me:
supports scrollable widgets
supports resizable widgets
Adjustable collumns and rows, currently running 9 x 7
more screens currently have 6
It scrolls fantastic, 100 times better than stock
3D transition affects
If the icon at the top left is bugging you? ask the developer! contacted them about various issues over the months and they always reply.

i installed adw ex 1.3.2 but cannot set it as default launcher. After installation when i hit the home icon there is no popup to let me choose launcher seems like it is not registered as a launcher..... i am not rooted......firmware is .13..... do i need to root to replace the stock launcher?
Experts please advise.

I assume you just go to settings > manage applications, then find launcher and press clear defaults, then press home and it should ask you.

well done....thanks....what a **** i have been, hahahahaha

Don't think its possible to just get rid of it. It looks like honeycomb places the app icon on the corner for some apps. The only way I can think of is to unpack the apk, put in a transparent icon, or change how it looks. Either way you do it though will reflect in the drawer also. Since this is a launcher though and it auto launches it might not matter that it will be an invisible icon. If it bothered me enough then I could just hide the app i guess.

[Q] ADW EX - Wallpaper shifting
Does anyone know how to stop the wallpaper from shifting? It seems to happen after turning off the screen or coming out of an app. It's driving me up the wall. I even downloaded some 2560x1600 wallpapers that people suggested to use and it still happens.
And on a side note selecting the option for the wallpaper to scroll doesn't do anything (in ADWsettings).
I love the ability to resize widgets but this wallpaper problem is making me go crazy

Not sure if that's related but when I installed GoLauncher my wallpaper also shifted. Even after uninstall and reboot it was still messed up. I had to select a different wallpaper and then select the old one again; then it was fixed. It seems that the 3rd party launcher don't work well with HC yet.

i found that if i turn off locking the screen orientation (i rarely ever use portrait mode) and changing the orientation the background resets itself. but it is still rather annoying having to tilt it portrait and tilt it back.
no one else has this problem?

The same thing happened to me when I tried to use "Wallpaper Wizardrii"...until I uninstalled, then switched wallpaper...I'd get the weird shift after every reorientation....like the wp was resizing each time.

I was having major issues with wallpapers in adw ex, ended up using multi wallpaper live wallpaper to solve this, it can show a single image or a slide show.
I think the adw dev just got a honeycomb tablet so hopefully it will be fixed.

That not the right size dimensions so it won't work if you want something that big try 2560x2035 or smaller 1610x1280
All my installed wallpapers are the latter and i never have any issues.

I just started using ADW EX, and whenever I try to resize any widgets, the screen seems to freeze. That is, I can still resize the widge, but I can't deselect it, or select anything else on the screen -- including app icons, which stop functioning. I have to kill the app and relaunch to get it to respond again.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
ADW is certainly feature-rich, but it is crying for some documentation, which I can't seem to find.

After you resize it, just hit the back button.

Remove Multiple homescreens???

I have Team Eos 2.0 installed on my Xoom and i want to remove multiple homescreens cause 1 is enough for me,is there any tweak or any way to do that?
I also would like to add this wallpaper:
http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/191/5/5/iPhone_Raindrops_for_Mac_by_PrincessCakeNikki.jpg
as defaul without cropping it, because when im trying to put it i have to always crop it first so it fits in landscape and portrait mode and it screws all the quality of the wallpaper, any suggestions?

I don't think 7he ROM itself is set up for custom home screen counts. But you can download a replacement launcher like Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Those are ICS ready and are favored by many. Both are free. Give em a spin

I was wondering the same thing you were, so I took Legatos suggestion and installed nova launcher to see what it does and it took care of the multiple homescreens and other little things.... but i kept having problems with my wallpapers resolution which always have from the start, like you. Try multi picture live wallpaper app. I really like the results. I tried it on the wallpapaer you provided, and considering it isn't optimized for xoom, i think it is turning out pretty good.... hope this helps you, it has me.

id also recommend multi picture live wallpaper, does the job nicely plus its free

[Q] Help with wallpaper

Hey there,
maybe it would sound a little bit stupid, but i have wandering around and cant find anything about it. the thing is: I have an HTC Inspire, and it used to come with android Fro Yo, so when i selected a wallpaper it was the kind one that moves when you swipe from window to window and it was nice... then i changed my rom for a RCMIX with android gingerbread and then the options with wallpaper changed and it only allows you to put a steady wallpaper in portrait mode. but my brother bought a new samsung galaxy with gingerbread too, and when he wants to change his wallpaper, it asks him wheter he wants it to be landscape or portrait mode... i really want thins function on my cellphone... is there any rom with an android version that allows you to do that???? please helppppp!!!!!

Yes.

Sense 2.1, what your phone came with, had scrolling wallpaper in froyo and gingerbread. The Sense 3.0 roms I used (gb), did not. In aosp/aokp that feature will depend on your launcher.
Sent using the power of the dark side.

well... it just seems that all samsung devices have both options! it just amazes me that you can´t do it in this roms!!! it should be an option!

It doesn't always work on those Samsung. I know the Note was having serious issues with scrolling wallpaper. Any Android phone can give you this option. If you insist on running Sense, you will be limited to the features of whichever version you use.

I'll take a look and let you know what's up with it. Thanks for the reply.

Why in the HELL would you make it to were you can only use the tab in portrait mode, that is just plane STUPID!! I'm not about to install/pay for an app that will give me landscape mode.. I'm not about to "downgrade" my tablet. WTF is up w/Google anyway.. no text reflow, & now we have to look at photos & web pages like it's 1995!? :crying:
Sorry.. rant off, Phil B.
P.S. I tried CM10.. not a fan of the way it looks/runs!.. I just like all the "stock" Samsung apps & the way it's setup/looks..

Calm yourself.. hehe..
I think youve got yourself a bit mixed up or Im not understanding you, but the Galaxy TAB IS both portrait and landscape and unlike the Asus Nexux 7, the homescreen can even be landscaped. If your tablet isnt landscaping, goto home screen, bottom right hand corner where the clock is, press the clock and a control panel should come up, make sure "autorotation" is switched ON, in green. Im also sure theres a seting in the Settings menu to make it permanent Landscape, but it looks great in Portrait too for your kindle and KOBO apps and Newspapers.
Just turn it on its side and it rotates landscape.. you can even turn it upside down - samsung logo at the top and it keeps rotating..
Hope that helps

Yeah the OP could try that or if your into your Widgets and Apps and custiomisation.. GO Launcher EX is nice as well and all launchers are free, its just the Skins and the High end apps you gotta pay for.

NightOrchid,
I've been reading that Jelly Bean (4.1.1) is "stuck" in portrait mode & to get landscape you have to install/use an app to get the screen to rotate!? I'm currently on ICS 4.0.4 UEBLH2 P3113 US Ver w/IR blaster, & use the tab strictly in landscape mode.
Anyway, I might check it out when our (USA) JB is leaked.. if it works & is faster & smoother than ICS I'll switch, if not.. :crying: lol
Later, Phil B.

Oh right, then Ive misunderstood it,I havent done alot of reading around on JB and I actually didnt realise that it had that limitation, i thought it was actually something that ASUS had done. Apologies OP., maybe Samsung might change that hopefully, like yourself Phil Im on the same XXBLH2 but for P3110 UK/ If this is the case, I might not consider JB, I like Landscape mode.

I think you could use cm10 (jelly bean) screen rotation work and try also go launcher HD for tabs or apex or nova screen rotation works good for me

The CM10 Rom for JB has a UI patch that will rotate the home screen into tablet mode with no problem and it works for the AOSP Rom. The AOKP Rom for JB has a setting in the ROM Control where you can force table mode. This works beautifully. I also like the Samsung apps and the widgets that make the tablet look more interesting. When the time comes that we can rotate our GT -P3113 stock Rom to tablet mode for the home screen then I will switch back to stock. As of now I am doing my daily with AOSP's new Rom that's running excellent.

I've tried a couple of different launchers....Ii would prefer the tablet mode where the notifications are at the bottom on the right hand side. Just a personal preference. I've owned a couple of tablets and have always did all my (tableting) in landscape mode. Now the whole experience has changed with flipping the tablet back and forth, I'm just not liking it. It's one of those small things that now that the light is shinning on it, it now makes a bigger difference than I thought in the beginning.

I'm just glad to hear I'm not the only one who HATES the idea of using such a capable, conveniently sized device in portrait mode! Let's hope Samsung adds landscape to Touchwiz!?

Can home screen rotate?

Looks like EMUI 10 on this phone can not rotate the home screen (though all apps on
my phone auto-rotate). I'm guessing the reason is that it's a little hard to manage
two custom icon layouts (portrait and landscape), or is there more to this? Anyone
know if EMUI plans to support rotation in the future? In the meantime, is there a
nice way, or a recommended app, to change the home screen to something which
rotates?

I use Nova launcher, the pro version. It's well worth the money and can rotate any screen. Give the free version a try first.

Huawei home does not rotate, so as above, use another home app unless you're using a Chinese version, they are locked down and cannot be changed.
