Anyone know of a profile or hack to get more home screens? Every apps I've tried ass something, mainly a new app tray or buttons at the bottom of the screen. I just want more home screens, nothing more.
Your going to have to use a home replacement such as launcher pro or adw and yes they will usually change the launcher
You may be able to keep it at the vanilla launcher via options.

What about Launcher+ on the Android Market?

...more Battery if i have Touchwiz on my Phone too?
And how can i get ADW.Launcher only (Replace Touchwiz?)
i used it for a day and battery was fine
i also had launcher pro and widget locker all installed but was using adw so no problems on battery
now to use it as default instead of tw launcher
just install it and press the home bottun u will get an option menu to choose to wich launcher and a use as default so
click use as default and then select adw launcher
keep in mind i dont know if u can re use tw with out reflash or something but again i am a n00b so each time i choose the launher i watn
Yea i know that, thats how it works for now. but i do think Touchwiz Home isent off. it feels like i could just change between them easy (home switcher).
I think ADW.Launcher is on and Touchwiz is kinda in the background... using my memory!
I would like to get it replaced fully (NO TOUCHWIZ)
You can do this by rooting your phone and then using titanium backup to uninstall TWlauncher.
I don't think that when you use ADW , Touch wiz remains in the background.
Yes, you are right. Even though Android system puts the inactive threads to sleep but they are still persistent in the memory. Getting rid of TW.Launcher will give you a bit more free memory but I don't see why it will change your battery backup performance. Unless you are using some funky add-on with ADW.Launcher which is running all the time in the background.
How is your battery backup without ADW.Launcher?
And yes, as Aldonski mentioned, get yourself rooted and get Titanium backup to remove TW.Launcher for good.
I need TW launcher to connect to kies....it won't with otherwise

Yes it will if you remove it completely. I connect to KIES without TW.Launcher.
Hi! i've installed the Cyanogen mod an my Wildfire, and i'm using launcher pro... But what if i would like to change my home app? I cant find the apk of home switcher which was really good... Does it work on the Cyanogen mod? Where can i find it? (not on the appbrain market... there isn't)... Are there any alternatives?
Go to settings- applications and then click on your home application, like if you use launcherpro you click on it and delete standard settings. Then press home and you will be able to choose homescreen..

Is anyone else having issues with the quick contacts widget in alternate launchers? My other stock blur widgets work in Go Launcher except this one. Running Theory's ROM 1.2 if that makes a difference.
Doesn't work for me either in Go Launcher.
I was wondering the same thing. I swear I saw a post stating that the moto blur widgets worked with alternate launchers, but I cant get this widget to work with ADW, LPP or GO launcher.
I like that widget a lot.
Bump... has anyone had any success with getting this to work properly? I actually liked the stock contacts app for the short time I was running the stock launcher.
It would seem it adds the widget, but it's invisible and doesn't function... I am able to long press and delete it with go launcher.
Still no dice in Go Launcher. On the other hand, I have been using this lately and am really liking it.

It actually automatically fills up with contacts based on how recently/frequently you interact with them, pretty nice if you ask me.
Its a blur app and u need the blurred launcher.

That is not true. Other blur widgets work outside of the blur launcher. Also, this widget shows in the list of available widgets from other launchers but when you add it (in my exerience on Go Launcher) it adds an empty space to your screen that you can't say unless you try to put another widget down as it will say the spot is occupied already. You can delete the empty spot though.
Any update on this issue or do those who use alternate launchers just out of luck with this widget?
+1 you need a blur launcher its built into /system/apps it like having a razor blur camera and downloading it and won't work correctly at least from what I have read over the months on alt launcher you pick the widget and it won't even be visable

This is my second Android app. I develop this little app because I prefer 3rd party launcher (e.g. Apex) than existing Sense 4 Rosie. Existing hacked Sense 4 Rosie (full version) currently doesn't support non Sense widget correctly and is less feature-rich than many other launchers.
Even if you install a 3rd party launcher, Rosie still consume your precious memory as a system service. But if you freeze Rosie and thus release it from memory, you'll lose your lockscreen app shortcuts. After painstakingly reviewing the codes in HTC shortcut components, I found that Rosie actually act as a content provider to supply information of its launcher bar shortcuts to lockscreen. So without Rosie, lockscreen has no information to construct its shortcuts. Therefore I wrote this little app to replace the role of Rosie as the content provider. What's more, it allows you to select your own apps with a simple config screen and store the data separately. And it doesn't stay in the memory permanently.
Installation instructions:
Uninstall Rosie (Freezing doesn't work because Android doesn't allow two content providers of same type) ** You're reminded to make a backup first **
Install HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider
Run Lockscreen Shortcuts
Select your app for the 4 shortcuts
Hit back to save settings and notify HTC lockscreen

Limitations
You have to reboot the phone to allow lockscreen to load your app shortcuts. I'm still trying to figure out the way to notify HTC lockscreen for any changes. (If you know anything about this please PM me)

ah perfect! will give it a go soon
1.1 just posted. No reboot is required now!
I've loaded in Apex, and now wish to uninstall Rosie. Can you advise how to do this? Which programs to remove and where do you go to do that?

Just use Titanium Backup to backup and uninstall Rosie. You can also delete the Rosie.apk in the /system/app/ folder in Recovery by brute force.
Many thanks for that. I haven't got titanium. I might go hard and fast. Just go into the app folder and delete. I've got a full backup, so if worst happens I just restore.

I'm having problems loading your program. Being a zip I guess you load it through recovery but I get an error every time I try.
Edit
I just reloaded and then hit view (I've never seen that option before) and it's there! Now to try it.

I don't understand your problem. My app is a standard Android APK file which can be sideloaded with any file manager. You should not flash it through recovery.
Sorry. It must be the way it down loaded. 2nd time round it installed without a problem. It works great.
I've had a bit of a play and the unlock options are there. I'm not sure I gained as much free memory as I hoped but any gain is better than none. And I really am not a fan of Sense so any chance to thin it out is good.

Very cool man, thanks for creating this and sharing it!
Edit: I can confirm your app works on Sense 3.6. I uninstalled Rosie and used Apex launcher as a replacement and your app allows me to successfully choose the lockscreen shortcuts. Great work :good:

I got reports from other users that on Sense 3.6, if you use the lockscreen shortcut to unlock your phone, the phone will be unlocked but the app is not launched. Can you confirm if it's really working?

Damn I never even thought of testing that, my bad. You're right, it shows the app but doesn't launch it.

LOL, never mind. At least I know the problem is consistent in Sense 4A. I'll work on that. :good:
Today I did some testing on various Sense versions and would like to let you know my findings:
Hybrid 4A (e.g. UKB X on IncS) - OK
Sense 4.1 (e.g. ViperX on One X) - OK
Sense 4A (e.g. UKB V on IncS) - No shortcuts in lockscreen
Sense 3.6 (e.g. ARHD on IncS) - Lockscreen shortcuts appears and update correctly but shortcut app cannot be launched when unlock
At this moment, my first priority is to support Sense 3.6. After that I'll work on 4A.
Just posted 1.2. Now supports Sense 3.6.
Posted 1.2.1. Fixed FC introduced in 1.2.
