ADW Launcher + Beautiful Widget

My home in DHD with ADW Launcher & Beautiful Widget.
Wallpaper by zedge!!

so as a android and DHD newbies how did you getting it looking like that and what is the android icon in the top left?

He changed the look of the phone by replacing HTC Sense with a program called ADW Launcher. You can get it in the Market. A program with the same capability is Launcher Pro. Check it out

thanks very much i will give them a go

The icon is for a task killer app - which you don't need!

I don't like the style personaly but it's original ^^

hi guys, short question...i am new to android, so if i install awd or launcher pro, do i have to uninstall/deactivate sense first? can i switch back to sense?

When a new App is installed, which changes some standard behaviour, you will be prompted which App you want to use. After installing LauncherPro press HOME Key, you will be asked, which App should be taken for that. You can also check the box for useing it every time.
When you want to go back, you have to reset that thing in Settings - Application.
So you can easily go back to Sense. Or you can uninstall LauncherPro, same effect.

thanks for the info. i will try it...

Hey guys, I have just installed ADW Launcher and set it as default but now I can not find the Home button to long press and back to HTC Sense?
Here is my homescreen, How can I find this home button to leave ADW?

It should be the same as LauncherPro. Go in settings -> Manage app -> Choose ADW and Clear Default ( if I remember well I don't have it installed atm )

Hi, thanks for sharing this with us, but why did you open a new thread instead of posting in the Show your display thread???
There's a warning in the forum rules about opening new threads when a similar one alrady exists.

Help with Widgets

My NC is fully rooted and I have a bunch of apk's installed and working. My question is how do I get widgets to work ? When I long press on the home screen the only option I get is change wallpaper ?!? Please help ..
Also ... how do I move icons from my EXTRA desktop to the scrolling window at the bottom of the screen ?
Cheers

You need to install a Launcher....something like Launcher Pro or any of the others that have been confirmed to work.

What other launcher apps are there ? I have heard bad things about Launcher Pro ... ?
Thanks

Zeam is an option I've seen that looks pretty good. Apparently you wont have problems as long as you change your wallpaper while in landscape mode .

The official word from B&N is their home/launch doesn't support widgets.

I've been successfully using ADW launcher (with widgets and all).

How to use widgets?

Hello,
I am new to this whole rooting Nook color thing. I recently rooted mine and have been enjoying the new abilities, but I cant seem to add shortcuts to the "desktop" or home screen and can't add widgets. I searched around for a little bit but didn't really see anything listed about this..
Thanks guys

Long-press (hold) on the home screen. A window to "Add" will pop up. Tap on Widgets and enjpy

Thats what I tried, because I am used to using Android for my phone. But the only options that come up are "Clean up this panel" and "Change Wallpaper".
Not sure why I would have different options than you?

What launcher are u using? Also long press should do it!

Just the stock one. I rooted it but didn't know I had to change the launcher. I am not even sure how to do that >_> haha

Go to Market and download a launcher. Zeam, ADW and Launcher Pro seem to be the most popular. I think Market is under Extras.
edit: I use ADW but they are all similar.

Also if you want examples of how to spice up your homescreen, check out the screen shot thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860404
Most of them include which widgets they are using.

Thanks I downloaded Zeam and its working great!

A few questions

Hello,
I bought the Galaxy recently,and changed his rom.
Rom comes with Launchrpro,and I am very satisfied with it.
But I want to stay with the original rom menu (TW). is this possible?
In addition, I want to get the applications menu in folders.is this possible?
Thanks

I don't know which rom you are using but if that rom gives you both option then go to
settings> application> manage application> choose TW> set default (you can clear defaults too)
Hope this works for you.

There are custom roms that offer touchwiz, and you can always install it afterwards too (e.g. From apk found off the forums, or via sgs tools app).
Doc rom kitchen is a great place to start.
The app menu is launcher specific, afaik there aren't any that allow you to arrange your apps into folders, and launcherpro is the only one that lets you hide icons.

Tnx but I know that I can switch to TW.
I want to stay with Launchrpro and replace just the menu like TW.

What menu are you talking about? (screenies would be nice)

The first picture(left) is the menu I want to go back to.
This second picture menu I have now, in the launcherpro
I wish to keep launcherpro because of the comfortable home screens.

That menu is called app drawer a part of the launcher and what you want I believe not possible with launcherpro. If you want the horizontal scrolling + menu in app drawer I mean. You are better off with another launcher. Like ADW launcher or some modified TW.

As near as I can tell, what you are showing in the first pic is the TWLauncher homescreen, while in the second you are showing the App Drawer in LauncherPro.
It is easy to reproduce a similar homescreen in Launcher Pro. On your main screen, just press the button to open your App Drawer (the thing shown in your second picture). The press and hold the icon for an App you wish to put on your homescreen. Your view will switch to your homescreen, with a garbage can at the bottom. Position the icon where you with it, or drop it into the trash and start again. Once you have everything on the first homescreen that you want, go to the second screen, reopen the App Drawer, and add apps just as you did before.
You can control the number of homescreens you have, and which opens by default, from the Launcher Pro Preferences menu.

As you can see if you look closely BOTH pics are app drawer . Look first pic, grey bar down (home screen has it black) and Home button which doesnt exist in the homescreen since there is the Applications button
To OP look what I wrote you up . Or you could kinda put all yours apps on your homescreen like rschenck said.

Try Go Launcher, free in market. It lets you have the "side swiping" app drawer/menu

Quite right, my bad...been a while since I used the TWLauncher.
OP, are you asking to be able to horizontally scroll through apps, or to have buttons for Phone and other key tasks on the same page as all your apps?
I am still thinking that you can either jury rig a solution using Pro, or as Pagot suggests, try other launchers, there are lots of good ones out there...ADW, Pro, GO, Zume, plenty of others.

[Q] nova launcher 15 beta --- Phone dialer

Hi guys...
I just installed nova launcher 15 beta and I must say " This is VERY VERY NICE :cool"
Now,,, I don't see the phone dialer anywhere in nova at all...
what do i do ?? Do I get the dialer from the market and launch the dialer icon in the nova ?
Many thanks in advance

What ROM are you using? I know that some of the ICS ROMs are having issues with the dialer/ Contacts connections.
I have simply downloaded "Dialer One" from the Market. Works like a charm.

You can use Touch Pal Dialer.

Found it... (ICS SGS2)
I found the link that works under contacts.
To add it as a shortcut:
Hold down, choose shortcuts, applications, contacts, phone.
Works for me on a Galaxy S2, ICS 4.0.3, showing the full phone interface with call logs, contacts and favourites (starred contacts)
Hope it works for you too. Didn't like the idea of downloading another dialer, I was happy with the stock version.

When you install the Nova Launcher the dialer doesn't automatically comes to the main screen. Are you sure that you don't have dialer under the application drawer? It should be there...just long press it and drop it on the home screen. Done!!

For other people finding this thread - I found it as an app called 'Phone', not dialer.
