When I press the 'apps' button, I get a nice grid of apps that are six columns by five columns when I hold the phone vertically, and eight columns by three rows when I hold the phone horizontally. All nice and neat.
So how come I can't make nearly so nice an arrangement on the home screen, which have programmed to allow 8x8? Vertically, I can't even get five of them on a row without one of them falling on top of another, and then when I turn it vertically, it stacks them on top of each other.
Wat do?

I noticed on the AT&T Tilt, if you press down hard on the space bar it appears to have a second level - ie., press lightly, it clicks once and types a space. Press herder and it clicks down further to a second position. I noticed this doesn't happen with any of the other keys. Is this just a flaw in the design or can this message to the os be remapped to add more functionality to the phone? When you press hard on the space bar, if it registers as two extrmely quick space bar presses (like a double-click) then maybe someone can code something to have that act as an additional button? Or in reality have I just lost my mind?

Are you talking about repitition? If so, then all keys function that way. If you press and hold any keys, it will repeat the function.
It's not a two stage button (like the camera button... 1st click is focus, 2nd takes the pic). It's just that it's a wide button, so there are two contacts below it to cover the entire area. You must be pressing it near the center of the bar, and making both contacts. If you press towards the left or right, you will only activate one of the buttons.
My bet would be that there is a 4x10 grid of contacts and the space bar just happens to cover two columns. Probably no secret functionality here... simplest explanation is probably the right one.
If you press the space bar while holding the power button and click your heels together, it will take you home to Kansas.
I am in Kansas
It worked!

took me to newark
Jeez thanks alot guys
woe woe wats rong with newark?
I hated the entire area. Maybe Basic Training at Ft Dix (1988) put a sour taste in my mouth.
While tinkering with google map's I noticed that the screen seems to respons to 2 seperate points? give it a try for yourself. I used my finger to move side to side and the pointer to move up and down, this worked together and independantly on my phone. If this is the case can we see software to support this function such as image resize and so on?????
P.S. a couple of other things to try.....
Hold volume up button and press the action button (this brings up the screen calibation)
I think this has been mentioned before but there is a easteregg in the weather screen
If you tap on the dark bar that says weather near the side Left then Right it run's a demo of the various animations.
I don't think it's multi touch, it just finds the mean of the two points you press. It's the same if you use two fingers in some touch pads at laptops. Try this and you may understand what I'm talking about. Start google maps and touch the left part of the screen. While keeping your finger down, touch the right part and see when happens. With both fingers down, release the left finger and see what happens. This is due to the way the touch screen works, but it's definitely not multitouch.
Good tips for the screen calibration and the animations demo (although it doesn't show all animations - I didn't see the fog animation )
Hello! Maybe its a launcher pro / TW / ADW thing, but I think it would be useful to have multitouch swipes in the launcher. For instance:
1 finger swipe slides 1 screen as usual
2 fingers swipes slides 2 screens (i.e. quicker access to 2 more screens)
3 finger swipes -> go to last screen on right or left respectively
Similar philosophy could apply to vertical swipes - e.g. 2 finger vertical swipe could be a quick "clear" of the notification bar.
Customizable swipes would also be cool: e.g. 3 finger vertical upwards = direct sms to specific number.
What do you think? Maybe we should sent requests / emails to the respective developers...
Brilliant idea,
it is a shame to have a multitouch screen and only use it on gallery and slice it.
This should be a new standard in launchers ;D
Sent from that Green Robot Device with a 4"screen, chewing on some froyo(with an extra .1)
With the advent of Nookie Froyo and rumors of CM7 only one thing makes me Pissed off as heck. HARD BUTTONS!!!!! Of course, we could map the volume buttons for these things, but I have a proposal/wish (Since I can't program --_--)
Is there anyone who could make a app so that long pressing a volume button would bring up or lower the volume, and tapping them slightly would trigger the back button or menu button? Or vice versa?
I think this would kill our needs for soft-keys or any annoying launcher stuff. Just a wish. tell me if this is possible plx
or... double tap them --_--
I don't program either, but I was just thinking about alternative methods too, since I find soft keys annoyingly unelegant as well. I like the remapping of the hard volume keys for long presses idea. Another option might be to take a play from the jailbroken iphone book where Activator can launch programs or perform system actions with gestures (swiping in from the top, or tapping the volume indicator box after voluming up/ down, etc) - sort of like how swiping left on the nook status bar goes back or how swiping down the left side of the screen in fbreader changes the brightness of the display. Could be a system wide action where swiping left at the bottom if the screen regardless of if the status bar is visible would go back while swiping right would invoke the menu...

hmm.. well, I guess I'll just have to stick with soft buttons for now. {presses the nook color home button to death}
Several Apps That I Use...
Have gestures that allow the functions that you folks mentioned. For example, Aldiko has a great brightness adjust by swiping down one side of the screen, and Dolphin HD has a lot of gesture-activated commands.
I'm not a programmer but some bright dev out there might be able to come up with the appropriate calls to allow gestures for volume - what about a poll?
Seems that once you turn briefings off you can no longer put a blank screen to the far left. Anyone had success on this?
You can't directly add one, but you can add a blank screen on the right side and drag it all the way to the left. It's not perfect, but it works.
Hold down on a blank spot on screen. Switch to a different panel and there is a home button on each panel. Press it until it lights up. Now that will set your main home screen and rearrange your icons etc and you can have panels to the left of your main homepage.
