Anyone else like the new Android Sidekick homescreen?

I liked it.

It's great. I love the qwerty KB on it.!
Anyone know if its coming out in the UK anytime soon?

Of course. The 'nine sixteen' is a clock. I totally did not get that the first time I saw it. You may be able to achieve something similar with 'make your own clock ' widget.

I think that isn't a home screen its a lock screen. Although I thought it looked pretty awesome when I first saw it and having that lock screen in portrait would be cool.

Windows Phone 7 app

Not sure if anyone know this but you can download Launcher 7 to make your phone looks somewhat like win phone 7... not bad and so smooth

Not a theme, its just a launcher.

Yea I meant launcher

i am pissed that they can change the theme of the status bar with that app but none of our custom roms have that ability it would be a nice feature.
ps not pissed as much as i hate windows mobile and seeing that feature in that app made me mad for some reason lol

You can be pissed all you wanna be. You don't like your status bar flash a theme and your done.
Fyi: that app dosnt actually change the status bar. It doers what alot of other launchers from the market can do and just hides the status bar. The only difference with this launcher it has its own status bar.

I installed it just to see it and I hate it. Don't like windows phones at all.

The only thing I liked about this launcher was the fade out/fade in animation when switching between the home screen and app list. I am not a fan of the layout and inability to have widgets.

After the last update, it actually does change the status bar to look like wp7. It gets updates every single day. That dev is really trying hard. And its just about fully customizeable, you can even add widgets! Pretty cool imho.

I dont man.. as much as I don't like wp7 I'm kind of digging this launcher.. its my daily driver now. I've always used laincher pro or golauncher and something about this keeps me using it. Don't knock it till you try it
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g

Heres a quick vid of it running on my Epic .. Sorry for the blurry vid. my camera sucks. When you first install it its kinda of bland but you can customize it to your liking.

I think everybody fail to realize the one advantage this launcher has for your phone... antitheft. No one is going to steal a windows phone

Its good, especially if you download the multi tile icons the dev posted on xda somewere. Its nice, I've been using for about a week now. I still prefer the android look over this, but its different, so I'm sticking with it for a while.

[Q] Is there a way to make the HTC News & Weather widget transparent?

Of all the widgets and apps I have, this one BY FAR is the most indispensable to me. I am ready to start fresh on my EVO and any theme or customizing I do, I want HTC News & Weather to be on the home screen, possibly the lock screen as well.
Has anyone done this? If so, please point me in that direction!

Anyone? I can't find the answer anywhere else.

Yeah there's one, Google for transparent genie widget. There's a themer with a blog (ultralinx? I think) with it.

^^^ You're the best! All that time I was searching for News & Weather. You could imagine how many results I was getting lol.

[Q] Custom launcher Quick Contacts widget not shown

As the title says.
I'd like to use a custom launcher the blur one is a little laggy. But I love the "Quick Contacts" widget.
But when installing launcher ex or launcher pro it doesn't show. It's there but can't see it. Anyone else had this???

Like you, I LOVE that widget, however, there is yet no way to get it to work in any launcher besides the stock blur

Ugh. That sucks. Hope it will be fixed soon :-(

Go launcher pro has a widget similar to the stock contact widget and you can size it the way you like.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

I know I know. But it's for sure not as amazing . If I size it the same it takes a whole screen. The moto one is just awesome. Snifffff

True. It doesn't pull down like the stock one.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

Yeah, the stock one is really pretty, animated, and only takes up one line of screen when you don't need it.

Alternate lockscreens on ICS?

Was wondering if anyone knows of a way you can get a different lockscreen for ICS, I prefer the old rotary one, or the reeally old one with a tab on one side for vibrate/loud and a tab on the other side to unlock.
Not a big fan of the pull the ring up to unlock, or slide the lock icon into the correct spot.

magic locker,go locker,or widget locker on the market

I shall check them out, thank you very much.

MIUI locker works pretty good, the ICS themed one I downloaded broke everything though.

Download widget locker! It may seem somewhat expensive but it is well worth it. The ICS lockscreen is identical to stock. You can also download other themes for it off the web
