does anyone know of an app/modification (metamorph?) that will allow us to "dock" some apps so that they are accessible in every screen?
not like a widget that pops up a carousel (like some apps offer)...
i mean more like the "star" of favourite apps/docked apps that is accessible on every screen in open home..for those of you who have used it
it's to the far right on every home screen, you swipe the star and you have like 6 apps (or so) accessible....
any ideas? thanks!
Anderwebs ADW launcher sounds like something you are looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645550
HelixLauncher also does this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645683
I would have to say that Anderwebs launcher is quite superior to helix in performance, but they are both great launchers.
Thanks for the quick replies!
Helixlauncher almost looks like a home replacement from the descriptions...
I do want to keep my regular home app..since it has 9 screens
I just wanted to add the two main things I liked from alternate home apps
I.e., the app dock...and if I can find it, a way to "name" each home screens, on the bottom, next to the app drawer icon...
I'll test out the first option to see if it has an app dock without modifying my app drawer icon, hehe

Helix can have 9 screens too.
Hehe..thanks...but I guess I'll just stick to keeping my most used apps on the main screen and if I am on screen 9 and need to get to screen 5, I'll just hit the "home" button again, hehe
But I do have another modding question...I am kind of highjacking my own thread,hehe
is there a way to add the "dots" that indicate which screen you are on to either side of the app drawer icon? (Like screen 5 would have 4 little dots on each side?)
...or failing that, a way to label each screen? (Apps, games, etc...)
I saw one app that did this...but it had horrible reviews...so any app or personal way to modify it would be great...thanks again!
Definitely try out the ADW launcher... it has more customizer than even you would know what to do with!
http://www.jbthemes.com/anderweb/adwlauncher.html
it does look/sound good...
however, if you have to install it the same way you flash a rom, i don't think i can do it as my bootloader is locked...(telus milestone)
any instructions on the actual "flashing" part? the only ones i see is to change the zip file to "update.zip" and apply it from recovery mode, but it says invalid signature when i do that and then does nothing...
or can i just install the launch.apk file in the zip?
LauncherPro is faster than ADW.
It's just that you can't set your own app dock, there's one provided for you, it's shortcuts to Phone, Contacts, Messaging and the Browser.
Helix can have 9 screens too.

i don't want to modify any of the actual settings i already have..i like the way my phone is customized...
therefore, i'd like ADW if you can really pick and choose nearly every item you can implement...this would be best
also, as a sidenote, does anyone know how to flash it to the milestone?

if you're looking for some serious customization, look for sweeter home on the internet. it's in beta (for like 1 1/2 years now) so it's not on the market but i had fun fooling around w/it. it's basically a home replacement app that you design yourself from the ground up. kinda steep learning curve at first but you can always download someone else's theme and keep it or even tweek it how you like. there's even forums too if you need help.

maybe i'm way off target, just thought it would interest you
thanks, i'll check it out...
but i wasn't originally looking for a home replacement..i had open home before (and this one might be better) and I just didn't like the "bulk" of having an extra home app
thanks again though, i'll still give it a shot, hehe

ADWLauncher has tons of extra features, and they're all toggle-able. If you don't like the dock, turn it off in settings. Want more screens? Settings. Want the Galaxy S drawer? Settings. Want the home screens to scroll faster? Settings.
hehe
i know
but the problem is i can't find a way to flash it on the milestone...
i'm looking for a tutorial or someone that has successfully flashed anything to the milestone =-\

I may be way off-base here but my wife is using "Open home" on her Cliq (because she couldn't stand MotoBlur's ugly UI) and it has everything that you're looking for: Number of screens, workspace labels, dock, dots, etc) and it seems like it's running OK on her phone. I know that it's a "replacement" home but it shouldn't be a problem on the phone with some spare RAM (i.e. any phone except for G1 and original MT3G)
Good luck.
Hey boys and girls I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get transparency on HTC sense, specifically on the bottom navigation bar.
I've been searching around but the only things I could find were non-htc sense home screen managers alternatives.
That's pretty much the only thing that annoys me about sense (the huge Phone and useless "+" button) but I love the 7 screens and the widgets so I wouldn't replace it with an alternative.
Thanks in advance!
To change the "+" button check out the marvelous jpool's thread here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809356
And to make Rosie transparent you'll have to crack open htc resources framework and edit the images inside, if you want post up your framework and ill edit it for you.

If you are on VillainROM12 there are a few themes [URL="http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?96-VillainROM-12-Themes]here[/URL]
However, I do recall seeing a mod which allows 5 sections on the bar, but I can't remember where it was, I'll have a look and get back to you

What needs to be done to enable the recent apps in the notifications pulldown of gingerbread based roms like bamf or gingeritis?
I know it has something to do with the SystemUI.apk but i don't know what to edit or replace within that apk.
Anybody got any tips?
Haven't tried it on bamf remix beta 6, but there is a patch for recent apps over at the bamf thread.

Not sure if all roms are like this, but I'm on gingeritis and you can just hold the home button when ever you want to see your recent apps. You don't actually have to be at your home screen to do so either.

Yes all roms are like that actually. I still like having it in the pulldown tho.
I havent narrowed it down yet but its a file in systemUI.apk
Yeah same here... if you find it before i do, please post.
Is it easier in the pulldown somehow? I just find it clutters things up and adds redundancies. Why have "recent apps" in two or three different places?

100% Agreed. I love having it in the pulldown and hate having to hold the Home button to get to the recent apps. Is it easier having it in the pulldown bar? ABSOLUTELY.
Running Gingeritis and I would love to see the option for having it in the pulldown again.
The Th3ory ROM has recent apps in the drop down... Just putting that out there
Sent using the Th3ory of Thunderbolt
I flashed the SystemUI.apk from Theory Rom to Gingeritis and it works fine... Just be sure to delete SystemUI.odex first with root explorer...
I still want to know how this works first... In Froyo it was in com.htc.resurces.apk and i altered 1 or 2 xmls with meta morph to get the recent apps back.
Should be located in SystemUI.apk in:
res/layout (or layout-hpdi-v4)
Status_bar.xml or status_bar_extended.xml.
Not sitting at home computer to tell you exactly which one.

Hi!
I flashed with success these mods:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126333
But, it looks like he has updated to a new base, so i do not know if the new versions work.. But luckly i have the old ones
ARHD_5.2.x_QuickSettingsXL+BlackTransp_v0.1:
Gives you transparent notification area + more quick setting options.
ARHD_5.2.x_RosieRemaped+BlackTransp_v0.1:
Gives you transparent appdrawer + right rosie key remap (you need to download launchKey to get the function you want)
Just flash in recovery.
Thanks to Dude360 for these mods!
Tried these mods, they work but i lost all the HTC widgets.
I guess we'll have to wait for devs to bring the mod to Inc S.
Hi!
I´m running on ARHD 1.1.7 and it works for me like a charm... Nothing is missing. This mods probably work only on ARHD roms.
hope it gonna work on mine too

now using themikmik rom Incredible S HD. with lots of tweaks.
including transparency.
Hello guys..
I just made a good looking theme of Sword Art Online.
This theme is compatible with Gingerbread and up.
The tools you need to make this are:
SS launcher the original
SAO Widget
They're both can be get from Play Store. :fingers-crossed:
ATTENTION
This is not a custom launcher to give you SAO appearance. This a theme for SS Launcher to give you a feature of SAO appearance.
Why SS Launcher?
To make this theme works on every OS from Gingerbread and up, SS launcher is the closest launcher to make it possible.
If you're ready, here are the steps
It is a quite long step, but it is not difficult...
- First, install both of SS launcher and SAO widget
- Then download the attachment I've prepared for you guys. The file contains my SAO theme package and the wallpaper.
- Now open the SS launcher, press settings button from your phone, and delete all the desktop page (just press the trash icon), except one page called Home.
- delete all widget on the home screen.
- Next, extract the "SAO - Qijos" and put the "SAO by Qijos.zip" in a folder.
- In the SS launcher home, press settings, and then press 'theme', then choose 'load theme'.
- Choose the "SAO by Qijos.zip". If it appears a notification to clear template and other stuffs, click Yes.
- Now press the settings button, and then press "New Page" to create several more pages. It will come like this
1. Make a page named "2" as cover page, click OK.
2. Make a page named "3" as cover page, click OK.
3. Make a page named "ap" as application drawer, check the 'hide' click OK.
4. Make a page named "4" as cover page, click OK.
5. Make a page named "5" as cover page, click OK.
- Now you have 6 pages in total. Then go to home page, hold it at the center to make the menu pop up, then click Load a template
- choose the first template for that home page.
- then go to "2" page, hold again the center and choose the second template.
- go to "3" page, choose the third template.
- go to "4" page, choose the fourth template.
- go to "5" page, choose the fifth template.
Now you will end with 5 pages. Not yet to make it perfect..
for now,
- press settings button of your phone --> theme --> animations --> set speed to "0", Type = Rush, Effect = 5, then apply change.
- go back once, select the Pinboard Visibility, and uncheck App Drawer and App group. Go back to home page.
- press settings --> preferences --> set Orientation to portrait, check the Full Screen, check Keep Last Page, and check the Disable Swiping.
- Now the final step is, go to home page, hold the center and choose new widget.
- Choose the SAO self Hp Bar, adjust your settings, put to the top of your page.
- make another new widget, select SAO Teammate's Hp Bar.
now hold the SAO self HP bar, and select PIN
and also the SAO Teammate's Hp Bar, select PIN
Enjoy the elegant theme of SAO.. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
P.N.
If some of the menu doesn't work, it means the app is missing because between you and I might have different applications.
If that happen just click it and choose your target app...
Cheers...... :highfive:
Nice!

Big Thumbs up! :good: Love this theme. ssLauncher is a very powerful launcher, and with this theme (which is already purely amazing), you have barely scratched the full potential that I see. Amazing Job.
By the way, some of the features that you use are only in the pro version. For example, no scroll and pinning a widget. Instead, I just made the widget on each screen. It is a memory hog, but whatever, its worth it!

First of all.. Thank u very much..
Yes.. Because to make it perfect,, it needs the Pro version of SS launcher.. And I only made the theme version without lack of features for the Pro version. But if needed, I will try to make another similar one for the Free SS launcher version... :beer:

That's come from the SAO widget.. It also happened to me sometimes..
If you use several Task Killers, set SAO widget as an exceptional from being killed, otherwise when you kill the task, the SAO widget may not work properly...
Moreover I believe the SAO widget still got some bug that made it doesn't work in perfect condition, so when the SAO widget developers update it with bug fix (I hope there will be), try it so the widget could work properly..

Actually it is possible to make it that way... But I think it is not really necessary for users that want this theme that way, because they might accidentally turn off their phone from the launcher... XD
So, I just made the Logout tab into an application that turn off the screen.. But you're free to make it turn your phone off if you wish so...
