I was wondering if there was a way to change the number of screens on the Droid 3's motoblur. I noticed the welcome video had 7 screens and that sounds perfect to me. Also, does motoblur no longer have profiles? I'd love a work/home profile for apps.

It's not Motoblur, whats on this Droid!
More homescreens means another installing launcher I think...
I would also like to figure this out, I only want 3 screens, 5 its more than I need

I prefer one screen myself, with my most used apps nearest the bottom + the dock buttons. I use Launcher Pro for that. Launcher pro also allows me to hide over 30 stock apps that I don't want to see. LP will allow for up to 7 screens.

I'd love to agree with it not being Blur, but if you go to the Files app, Internal Storage->Android->data, and scroll down the list, one of the folders is for an app named 'com.motorola.blur.home'... hmm... I wonder what that could be It seems Motorola themselves just wants to move away from the name, but they can't seem to update their apps to reflect that
I was running 1 screen for a while on my OG, and loved that set up, but I'm using more widgets now than I was then. And until I can use that sweet quick contacts widget in LP, I'm stuck with the blur.

Just download a great, completely customizable weather, clock, settings widget. It's only 99 cents on the market right now. Perfect for my ever changing homescreen. So many themes. Give it a look. I added a couple of pics to show some of the colors and sizes.

I assume you're the developer. I could be wrong. I like the appearance of the widgets, are there anything more than the weather/clock widgets?
Thanks
Bought it. It's awesome. The widgets looks very elegant on my xoom's screen. The variety of widget sizes and looks make this one a great buy!
I was lucky enough to beta test this widget and it was a pleasure watching the developers upgrade and fix it over several months. They are quick to resolve issues and I purchased it as soon as it became available on market.
Edit: @ Saintfyre, the main 8x2 widget allows the forcast on right to be switched with a control panel similar to a power control widget. Things like BT, screen rotation, wifi can all be turned on/off. Beyond that, theyre just weather and clock. Its a replacement for Beautiful widgets.
@OP. What is the Theme you are using? And what is the small up arrow in the center of your notification bar?
First app I bought without much research, saw one review and small review at that in a blog, very happy I bought it, very nice widgets.
I decided to pick it up and was beating my head against the wall because I couldn't get the widgets to appear in the Xoom widget menu after long-pressing. Simple reboot takes care of it, for those who scratch their head like I did after configuring one and trying to find out how to place it. I like what I see so far. Thanks devs!

I believe he's either using a Galaxy Tab 10.1 or has found a way to run TouchWiz UX on a Xoom. Probably the first one. The arrow would be the shortcut TW has for the mini apps.

Sorry not the developer, just letting people know about the widget that I liked.
Yes, not a theme, I use a galaxy tab 10.1 now, but old habits like this forum die hard.

In your 3rd pic on the top you are using something that has large buttons as folders. What program does that?
Ok, while you're at it, where did you get that wicked Star Trek wallpaper? /drool
The folders are two apps. Desktop visualizer is a free app that lets you take almost any small picture and use it for a launcher button of any app or bookmark. Then you can resize it to whatever dimensions you want. I have that widget working with the app called folder organizer lite. You can put all your apps into different folders. Apply your own icon and resize away. It saves alot of screen area so you don't have 100 apps taking up real estate. I can post some pics if you want to see what it looks like. Both apps are free in the market.
And here is the uss enterprise wallpaper. But you have to use the multipicture live wallpaper (free) in order to get it to display correctly. Honeycomb crops the sh!# out of it.

Under the HD Widgets settings you can add and remove different sizes.
Won't update units from F to C. :crying:
But other than not knowing what 50 degrees F is, the app is awesome.
Edit: rebooted and now it works a charm. A+++
Hey guys I found a glitch/hack in 2.3.4/2.3.6 that changed the orientation of the Stock Launcher and App Drawer to Landscape.
No Root Required and no modifications were made to the OS itself. It was a mere coincidence that I even found this.
My Nexus S is running 2.3.6
Fifa 10: 1.0.41
Power Control Plus: 2.5.2
All I did was disable the lock screen using the Power Control Plus widget and then started playing Fifa 10 in the midst of it I had to put the phone down for a bit so I turned the screen off. After some time I picked up my phone and the app drawer strangely turned into landscape mode. I played around with it then pressed the home button(the on screen button, not the capacitive). The home screen was also landscape but weirdly enough the accelerometer didn't change the orientation. So I tired to launch an app and it kicked me into the Portrait mode when I tried to go to the home screen. I realized why this happened so I replicated it many times over, I was going to make this post and video some time ago but studies had consumed most of my time.
Technically this should work on any phone because the idea behind this is the same, the unlock screen kicks the phone back into portrait but it doesn't have the chance to because the lock screen is disabled in the first place.
I hope this hack/glitch can be worked on and and made into an app that changes the orientation of the phone for use regularly. The video will be up on Vimeo soon, it will take time to edit and modify uncompressed 1080p.

Why does your picture of the home screen in landscape look like the ADW launcher?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I don't have ADW never tried it even, everything I have on the phone is stock. I have rooted the phone but I wasn't rooted when I first found this before upgrading to 2.3.6. try it out, I never had the chance to test this on someone else's phone. See the video for more details
I also encounter that effect time by time, but I can't reproduce it. It also happens for me on the lockscreen, which can also get landscape.
For me, I guess it has to do something with my Nexus' dock.
I can replicate this anytime that's why I want some developers to try and actually make this something useful. Sometimes it's just easier to use the phone in landscape mode

The dock has gone from squared to rounded?

I can make the launcher that has landscape mode enabled if you are interested. You only have to change one word in the source to achieve this.

There are already launchers that do landscape mode but, it would be cool to see the stock launcher being forced into landscape mode without any mods except for an app or something. However what you're offering would certainly be appreciated!

When the launcher goes into landscape mode the dock looks like the older froyo dock because google was to lazy to update all the icons.
I'll post the launcher with landscape mode up soon and fix the dock to look like gingerbread.
Sent from my Nexus S
Rght that makes sense now, but it'll be a whole new launcher right? which sort of kills the purpose because there are already launchers available that do this. What I was hoping for is somehow forcing the stock launcher in the landscape mode, it might be harder but it would be a much better overall solution for ease of use. Not to mention many people could use that app, because a lot of people don't want to use another launcher you know?

you can make it switch between portrait and landscape following tha accelerometer data, or will it be fixed to a position?
with my suggestion and glitch the accelerometer data is neglected

any news of this ?
Crazy fast and smooth, light weight. could use a couple of more options, but thought Id let you guys know if you were looking for a new launcher, its good.
Is this in the market?
Yeah, its awesome!
yup in the market
Running it now, prolly the best launcher I've ever used

Thanks for the heads up on this launcher...very nice!
I like it, and I really like how icon press highlight isn't a gigantic box.
Sweet launcher!
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I love it. It's definitely fast, and I like how you can change the app drawer to scroll vertically instead of having to swipe side to side.
meh. The icons changing grey while scrolling in the app drawer is annoying. Dock is fugly and can't edit it to 3 (without plus signs) or disable all together. Built in task manager doesn't show all "running" apps so that's pointless. Just lacks the in depth options that adw ex has that I like. Might check it out again after 7 updates .
good day.
went back to ics 4.0... too many wake locks.
Did anybody else notice that if you swipe up on the dock in the home screen it flips up to show a lock button and settings button? The lock locks out your apps you have set with a password in the launcher settings,i thought this was cool

nice launcher
but just test it and delete it
becuase cant diable the scrollable dock and move the app drawer button to other location beside in the middle
hope so i want it too
So I'm trying nova launcher instead of Touchwiz. I honestly do not see what the fuss is. The only thing I like is the ability to move the app drawer button to the center of the dock. After that, I see no speed difference or awesome features.
I know most people seem to like it, but I just dont see it. Am I missing something?
LOTS of customizations.
Resizing of all third party apps
Resizing of the desktop and drawer
Font customization
Lollipop animations
Custom Google search widget
Custom animation speed
Forced landscape mode
And many more. ..

there is no questions any custom launcher bring added functionality. I personally can't live without a 5x5 grid, badge notification on almost any app and a vertical scroll drawer. The lollipop animations are also pretty cool
You my friend must be using a different version then all of us. So many features. Blows tw away by miles.

So there is a bit of a learning curve to using a launcher if you are new to them. For Nova I would focus on the items I starred in the screen shots below. Play around with it. You will see the benefits, trust us.

Changing icons individually or as a pack, multiple docks, transition effects, size of icons can be changed, swipe action for individual icons, folders can be changed, several add ons suchs as unread counts, now comes the final question - did you use the pay or the free version. A lot of the really cool stuff is only available in a paid version and trust me it is lightning fast compared to touchwiz.
I'm using nova prime. I'm still learning, this is the first time I've ever used anything other than what was baked into whatever Rom I was using. My last phone was the s3 and Darth stalker had the Xperia launcher I think... I've been using touchwiz was the last month, I just didn't like the menu (app draw) key on the right side.

I love the back-up restore option with Nova prime that I can use to quickly restore all my short cuts and widgets. Even between devices. I would use for this alone.

OP you may want to try "Go Launcher EX" its more user friendly in my opinion. I love it because the them options and whatnot with it are endless.
I seriously love Nova launcher it's always been my go to and I've tried quite a few. I wish it was possible to pin action memos as a widget though. It's not enough to get me to stop using Nova, but damn that would be perfect if it was possible.
