Home replacement or app request

Hi does anyone think that an app could be developed to add the 3 button bar in sense ui to the launcher on stock g1s or could this app be implemented to a home replacement.

It's perfectly possible to make a sense-ui copy, but it's just a matter of doing it. Try getting in contact with someone who has already made a home replacement app and see if they will implement it.

Ok cool thanks for the reply

Is anyone willing to take on the challenge to create a sense ui clone

i think probably not... people are probably just gonna start telling you to get hero themes or roms lol
though i would also like SOME hero stuff.. not everything because having everything seems to slow the phone down..

Yh maybe but the reason I'm asking is because I like how the 3 button bar works and I also have a stock phone and don't really want to flash the danger spl

[Q] Wallpaper Changes Layour Style Itself

My galaxy note seems to reset the wallpaper layout to spread across each pane instead of staying as the whole picture on each pane (which I set it to do). I don't know why this is and I'm getting fed up of having to change it. This is my main query.
My note also just reset itself whilst I was in the middle of a phone call.
When updating to ICS the layouts were reset so there were no apps that I wanted on the main screen, no widgets whee I had set them up and no bookmarked internet pages. This doesn't matter now as I have gone through the trouble of doing it all again, but I thought it might be useful for people to know if they are considering to buy this phone.
I've seen an aweful lot of good reviews for this phone, but I'm beginning to wonder why.

You obviously downloaded a full wipe version of pics, or possibly wiped yourself during the process. Pretty standard behavior really, not sure it needs a thread about it!

There's too many people on here that act cocky, just because they know more than somebody else. Do you get enjoyment out of it?
As it happens though, you were no help at all because you haven't answered my question.
I don't know why the layout keeps changing on its own. I've got no idea what you mean about a full wipe version of pics. I have downloaded nothing of the sort. All I have done is taken a picture and set it as my wallpapaer, but the phone decides to spread the picture across all the panes after a while and I have to keep changing it back.

Sorry, that was supposed to be ics not pics.
What I meant was the old add age of a bad worker always blames his tools, the rom seems to be behaving normally.
And you didn't ask any questions, just slagged off a great phone

Ok... Why does my wallpapaer layout change on its own? There you go... The fact is, you still don't know the answer and you haven't helped me.
'A bad worker blames his tools'
I don't really know what that has to do with anything. I just use the phone as normal and the wallpaper layout changes on its own. Nothing to do with me or how I use it.
And as I mentioned, the phone restarted whilst I was in the middle of a phone call... To me, that doesn't sound like a great phone.

Ok. Assuming you're using TW Launcher, goto "Applications" > "Settings" > "Display" > "Home Screen Wallpaper" > Select your favourite wallpaper here > choose the second layout (with one column > the right option not the left one) and you'll have a non moving non spreaded wallpaper.

Hi djpianz
I have done this and that's what I have to keep doing every time I turn my phone on.
When I turn my phone on it seems to have reset to spread accross all the panes.
Problem still not solved. It still happens every time I turn my phone off and on again.

I did have that same issue on gb. I know its not a fix, but a work around, but have you considered a 3rd party launcher?

Spydertracks. Excuse my ignorance but what is a 3rd party launcher and how do I go about using one? Problem still persists.

A launcher is what gives the phone its visual style. So touchwiz is a launcher and there are various others eg. Launcher7, adw, go launcher, spb shell 3d. They each add different functionality and provide sensation to the home screen, folder and app drawer layout.
Have a look at each of of them on play store and see what you think.

[MOD][APP]Stock Launcher App Sorter - Abandoned

UPDATE: Unfortunately I have had to abandon this project, please accept my apologies.
I would like to introduce a little project I'm going to be starting, my first attempt at an App for android, one which will bring added functionality to the stock launcher on rooted devices.
Having tried a lot of different launchers, I actually prefer the stock launcher, for all but one thing which is the way it sorts Apps in the app drawer. The stock launcher sorts apps by name like most other launchers, but it splits them into System Apps and Downloaded Apps, so it can be hard sometimes finding the app you want.
My App is going to provide a way of sorting the Apps how you want, without modifying the stock launcher, so that it can last between updates.
My main aim is to provide a simple interface to pick how you want the Apps sorted, primarily alphabetical, ignoring whether they are system apps or downloaded apps.
You could do this by moving apps around manually but it would take a long time, so the idea is to automate this process.
While I work on the base of the app, I would like feedback on what other ways you would like the apps to be sorted, so that when you open the app, you can pick from different options as to how to sort the apps.
I look forward to reading some of your input.

good luck. I'd add:
1. Most used
2. Last updated
3. Recently installed
4. Also if it is possible add search bar on the first page
All these options are available in GoLauncher. So if you refer to that you know what I am asking
-S

Great,
But can you even add or mod the default tasker like when we long press home key at the bottom it takes us to task manager where we have to kill all unwanted application one by one, can you add a kill all button to that it wwould be amazing if you can do that.
By the way thanks a ton.

obviously u dun have htc phone..
lg's contacts and phone is ugly. plain and simple.. join feature is ineffective.. stock icons are lame.. lockscreen is LAME and slow and buggy with faceunlock.. if u manually join contacts, u cant edit the name.. and the names can be random and wrong..
themes are jus 4.. and ugly.. weather is ugly.. its slow..
list is too long.. lg made an epic device.. *WAAYYY BETTER THAN ONE X* but ****ed up with the software..

I like the launcher but this is annoying, nobody wants to.continue this? I think it would probably be easier to just mod the launcher itself

Initial Customization and Setup

Hi guys, I'm just wondering, as I'm totally new to android, if you could walk me through the initial stuff a person should do to get the most of his new device.
What I've already done:
Got Nova Launcher and set it up in basic fashion. Will have to go back to it later.
Got Llama, playing with it. Any ideas for setting it up besides the usual silent mode at night, turn off wifi out, turn on mobilde data out... ?
Got SwiftKey.
Got Min Icons.
Got SD Maid Pro.
Fiddled with settings a little, nothing serious.
What I want to do:
Use Debloater to clear bloatware and useless apps. Can I use it to get rid of Xperia keyboard, lockscreen etc? Should I? How do I know what I can disable and what not?
Get some lockscreen replacement app.
Figure out widgets. Seems like there's a disorganized mess of them in my phone even though I didn't install any.
Get a new dialer and contacts app because the original Xperia ones are pretty ugly.
Besides this, is there anything else I should do to improve performance/usability of my new phone? What do you do to your phones? I want the setup to result in a minimal interface and the best possible battery+speed+stability/reliability.
Also, what apps do you use instead of the stock ones like Gallery, Camera etc. Is it worth using other apps?
Thank you.

The Best Launcher for the MXP

Hi all,
Looking for a new launcher to try - I hate having the Google Now long press on my Home button - just hate everything Google Now.
In your experience, what's the best alternative launcher? Or perhaps, even more ideally, how can I turn that damn long press off? Can I change that through GravityBox?
Anyway, any insight is appreciated, as always!

Well, my Gravitybox has no such option. The only alt-Launcher i tried was Nova. What i really liked about it (and am missing despite GravityBox) was the "scroll-through" or "loop" when swiping continuously in any direction. But really, the Google Launcher is good enough for me. Why do you need the long press free, is there something nearby or similar..?

try nova launcher

My selection of best launchers !
Trust me I tested them ALL !
There's no such a thing as a "perfect laucher"....but since I hate Google now too, maybe you like my picks for a lightweight, customizable, feature rich, googless launcher:
1. L launcher
2. Slim Rom launcher
3. Nova launcher (is a classic!)
4. DarkLauncher (new but promising!)

I've tried quite a few over the years for various devices and keep coming back to good 'ole Nova (which is what I'm using currently on my Play).
Another one I really liked was Lightning Launcher because it's completely customizable but the performance wasn't as snappy as Nova. I haven't tried it on the Play and it's been a few months so might have to give it a shot again.

I have layers it.s okay

Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for your great recommendations. I've been on an installing spree today! I'm going to try all of the recommendations and go from there.
I'm wondering something though - it appears that no matter which launcher I have selected if I long-press the Home button I still launch the Google App. Am I messing something up here? Do I need to make the new launcher default to circumvent this? So far I've only been using them per Home press - (Just once instead of Always).
Looking forward to trying these things out! I want to uninstall Google Now. I gotta look up how to uninstall system apps..

I've been using Go launcher for last 6 years. It's perfect for me.

As you are rooted, I know that ?
Just install titanium Backup and uninstall the Google now. I too uninstalled it as I didn't use it at all and it always got in between my tasks. ?

Which is...?

PHey all,
Currently I'm using Nova. It's been working out great. I love being able to customize how many items are on my dock. I rock the dock and my dock is definitely bigger than yours. ;P
Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. Once again, appreciate the community here on XDA.

Nova Launcher is pretty sexy. I had to go pro - just love it so much. The gestures increase my geeky productivity 100x.
