Have any of you guys used this NetFront Life launcher. I just downloaded it and it is pretty cool. You just have to figure out how to move the apps off the ring and place them. I got it figured out. If you need help.
The exact name from the market is NetFront Life Screen

No launcher shows in the market. Please post a link to see what the launcher is. Or take screen shots.
Sorry I am considered new and i can't post links in the forum. I will get the exact name. I am in the middle of a flash right now.
Ok the OP is edited with the name
NetFront Life Screen.
Google it for pictures.
I actually did see this a while back, but I constantly kept getting "app not found" errors. I even found it on app brain and using the QR code still didn't work. Found other apps by net life and looked at the developer page for more apps, and it didn't show up there either. I just searched again though and indeed, there it is. So if you can't find it, it's likely because of your market fingerprint.
I'm currently running Cognition 3.04 with the Market 2.3.2 (recently updated woo) and I can install it.
I downloaded this launcher and gave it a test run. All I can say is that it is not ready to be used daily as my default launcher. It's a cool concept, but can lag at times, and is a bit annoying when trying to cycle through apps in a hurry.
Its definitely an interesting concept but needs more options to customize it. For example, the space for the widget is a pre-set size....and you can't change the icons. Noticed it used around 45mb too

just grab the top half or so and scroll to the left page and there's a cube for apps. the only time I see this thing really lag is when going from the right page to the left page.
Just now tried. really looks good. But donno how to go to menu
I used to have this launcher, but I got rid of it because it became slow and it forced closed all the time.
Def a cool launcher, but I can't see myself using this as my default launcher. Maybe after some updates this thing will really take off
its a nice concepts but eats a lot of memory...lags a lot....
I like the UI but need more update for lag issue.

Hey everyone, if you are running build 1.5 (Haykuro, Dudes, ADP) of android, jsharkey has created a working weather widget. I have it on my phone and it works pretty well.
Read about it more here:
http://www.jsharkey.org/blog/
Or grab the apk from here:
http://www.jsharkey.org/downloads/Sky-101.apk

looks outstanding, loading it up now
btw, do you have a twitter account, i found thats the best way to keep up with the updates for android apps.
thanks!!
Is there a way to make an options screen for this or something? It's exactly what I've been looking for, however, my widget is showing 'red flag warning' because there's a fire risk today(even though it's going to downpour any minute).
I don't care much for this function in general, so it has nothing to do with your programming specifically, but is there a way to turn this off? I hate not being able to see just the temp outside without having to press the widget first...
The source code is there. Can someone made it work outside US?
Looking at the source, I think it'd be easier to use the app as a framework for an international version rather than modify the existing code. The reason being is it was designed an api from a US weather service.
You never know though.
Hello,
Great widget! I'm trying to recode this widget to use Google Weather API.
I just have one small problem, how to uninstall this widget? I try through the application manager, adb ...
Nice! Let's get it out there for Open Home so it can be used there too!
Monterey Bay? You from around there? I lived in Monterey/Seaside/Marina, Ca for a while.

install appmanager to access ALL installed programs....
This is awesome. Any battery effect, really?
I liked it but removed it due to not updating weather enough... was off by quite a bit
Missing a lot of icons but otherwise a good start for a widget.
If you didn't see, I made a modified version for internationnal (with added features).

I would like the option to choose where we get the weather info from. I have weatherbug also, which gives me the current weather & the widget which gives me the lows & highs of the day. The lows & highs don't always match weatherbug.

How did you remove it? I tried using Appmanager and it doesn't even show it.
Is there anything similar to this out there as far as widgets go? Im currently using the retro clock but its black and a bit small. I was wondering if anyone knew of one out there.
Go to the market place and type in 'beautiful widgets' it costs €0.99 but you'll get the exact same hero flip clock with the weather icon.
Wow that is exactly what im looking for. Thank you very much
This is well worth the money! great app!
No worries kids, glad to help.
When I search "beautiful widgets" in the Market, nothing found. why is that?
I have bought it and I m a bit disappointed... It doesn't look exactly the same as TouchFlo widget. Different colour (sun is a bit drab), different font size which makes a difference.
So it really looks close to the original widget but not 100% as I've read on different forums...

You need access to paid apps. If your carrier does not allow paid apps than you must root and use market enabler.

very good app - and skinnable too!
Just snagged the donate version and the forcast addon and all I can say is wow, fantastic app and well worth the $1.49. My iPhone never did that!
I got weather widget by donate
- PRO: Looks amazing, I love the look
- CON: my time does not always update. i have to refresh manually sometimes for it to update. any of you find out the reason for this?
mine always updates by itself.. only trouble i had was when i accidentally killed it using taskiller, then it wouldn't update and i had to take the widget off and put it back on.. so make sure that if you have any task killer application that it isn't closing it or preventing it from running?
only thing i can think of.. hope this helps
i thought i might have been that. i do close weather widget via task killer because i don't want anything running but open home, but sometimes it updates even if i close it which is a good thing. if i leave weather widgets on though it always updates but it is open and taking up resources. i like having as few apps open as possible. thanks for the response.
also at my phone: clock doesnt update frequently.... it's 5:12 but clock shows 5:01 ...
Hey folks, I'm pretty new to this whole world, but I've been learning.
Sorry if this has been addressed already, but I couldn't find a definitive answer.
Is it technically possible to alter the look of the google search application? I love having it on my home screen, but the google logo kinda spoils the aesthetic imo.
Thanks in advance.
yeh, il see what i can do later, im headin out now but it should be possible
is this the same widget that your talking about?

cuz there is an htc search widget... just doesnt have the voice typing button
hmm, so i went to erase the logo.. but when my phone came on it was still there.. but i erased it... it didnt make sense so i finally went to the android home instead of sense.. and apparently i deleted the google logo, only when the google search widget is used on the android home...
this doesnt make sense.. why would htc not use the same files? nnot only did they make a new search...they also copied the google search lol
soo.. i guess i have to ask what rom your using?
Wait.. You can theme the Hero?!
Thanks for your replies so far.
That is indeed the widget I'd like changed, and I'm using MCR 3.0.
The thing I actually love about it is the voice search feature, having it on the home screen makes quick searches really convenient.
The HTC search widget looks awesome, exactly the kind of thing I'd prefer having
Cool themes btw.
alright il see if i can erase the google logo, and colour the bckground blackish (or il try and match sense)
You know that if you tap the hardware search button you can type your query, but if you hold it you launch search by voice..
I find that this removes my need for the widget.
Wow, G8D I didn't realise that, that's pretty cool, thanks!
It's still been interesting poking about, learning some stuff, but that solution looks good for now
ok well heres the widget, with the logo takin out, same colour as usual tho... if you want it changed i can probably do that too.
oh but if you have a theme, i think this file will over right the bottom sense buttons( add, all prgrams, phone) like so they will look like normal after this...
basically this will work if you dont have a theme or if you only have a theme where the notification bar is changed

haha sorry iv been kinda busy
Man, thanks for taking the time
Good community!
I just got my G tab and have installed vegan. I am liking it a lot, but I cannot find widgets that look good on the homescreen. I am using launcher pro and want to know what you guys are using to make the homescreens look awesome.
THANKS!
MixZing has a nice 4x4 music widget. Also, another user here recommended Jorte as a replacement for the stock calendar--it works very well and I'm now using that. Finally, I also loaded up Android Photo Widget (Free); it displays and cycles through my photos--the free version limits you to 10 photos; paid version more. Nice widget.
Oh, I'm also using Typoclock which can be found here on XDA, along with a companion widget called TxWthr which is very basic; I link that widget to the WeatherBug app, which is awesome.
thanks for the reply. just got the typo clock.
anyone else have suggestions?
Where did you snag the photo widget? I have been looking for one that will allow me to select a specific gallery.
Another trick to make it look much nicer is to install ADW Launcher then go into the ADW settings and set it to the Max number of columns and rows.
This can also be accomplished with LauncherPro, so it is whichever launcher that you prefer.

I like the launcher pro plus friends widget that combines Facebook and twitter. The calendar widget in lp+ is cool too.
Audio Manager Pro has a good widget for quickly switching sound profiles that you create. Widgetsoid (free) can be used to roll your own toggle bar for pretty much anything on the device.
I am still working on my pages, but here is what seems to work best for me at this time. I also have the post-it notes widget, not yet on my screens. I try to keep my screens separated by media, utility, and gaming, once I load more games for the kids, they will get their own screen.

Yeah that Button Savior looks awesome! Stock TNT works okay with ADW launcher replacing the home screens. I'm just using that setup until Cyanogen is a little more stable for the tab.

A bunch of minimalists widgets.
Yesterday as I was leaving work I noticed a new icon on my default (home) desktop called Android. I didn't put it there and have no idea how it got there. When you tap it, it opens a window with like 8 android system icons, txt, settings, ect. Its kinda handy I suppose but not really needed, but I'm really curious where the heck it came from. Anyone else see this on their device?
Sounds like a folder rather than a shortcut? Never seen it before and it's not one of the default folders either.
Yeah I think you're correct. All those functions I usually do from the (LP) dock, and its like the phone decided I use those enough that I need a dedicated folder!!?? Nothing else has changed, the first place I looked was "About Phone", everything is as it was before. Weird!
Edit: also I have LP set to not have text labels for any icons, but this one does say "Android", jesus phone indeed, ha!
Edit: Oh, and the graphic is a generic gray cellphone.
Screenshot??
Sure when I get home and have access to my computer/SDK
SDK? Looking at the spec list you don't need it?
You are aware you can use screenshot apps with root, right?

Not sure about the Android shortcut/icon, but the second screen looks similar to the popup that shows when you hold the home button. (recent activities list)
Looks like one of the default Folder Organizer items, do you have that installed? If so, you probably added the widget while it was in your pocket or something. I'd be less worried about your phone and start wondering if your leg is becoming self aware!

Bingo!! Its a widget selection for a program I have called App Organizer, having said that, it takes four (specific) keypresses to get it to a place where I never put icons. I always leave my default home screen devoid of any clutter, (except time), for viewing cool wallpapers.
So I guess I'm back to, did this program just decide, without any interaction from me to put an icon on my desktop? Certainly not earth shaking, but a little bit irritating having some guy behind a monitor deciding how I should use my device.
In the scheme of things theres probably a lot more than less of this going on behind the scenes than I can see, lol.
Thanks for the replies/help clearing this up!
