First of all let me start by saying yes I know this is in the wrong place. I cannot post in the development forum though because I do not have 10 posts.
I don't know about anyone else but can you put shortcuts on the homescreen? Whenever I long press on the homescreen and press shortcuts the homescreen force closes. Is there any workaround for this?
Edit I also cannot get into the settings.
I know right. It sucks how we cant post in any of the developmental forums .
what launcher are you using?
Nevermind I rebooted my phone and everything is good now. Phone seems much faster. Just looking for a replacement for the calendar now. I like the calendar it came with. Is it possible to restore that?
i would check one of the deodexed system dumps for the service and app apks
as a side note, jorte is awesome imo

Hey guys,
Is anyone brave enough to test the full feature 1.5 build of Open Home Full? We know we can always find some brave ones here
It requires that you are running android 1.5 on your phone (aka Cupcake). This build has full supports of 1.5 widgets and also a good amount of stability and performance improvements.
We had not done a lot of testing on this build; also this build will expire in a month (5/30). If you want to test the latest and greatest, feel free to install and try this build.
*Remember safe mode is hold menu button when powering on*, if you see anything wrong, just enter safe mode and then uninstall it.
Do NOT install unless you are running android 1.5
Download the apk at
http://groups.google.com/group/openhome/files
I assume since I'm running the dudes build and it supports widgets it may work. I can always remove if necessary . This doesnt remove open home right? just a different version?
EDIT: it replaces the existing open home
Hmm, I was impressed with the demo of OpenHome when I downloaded it a couple days ago. I'll take a look.
downloading it now. I have just flashed the holiday cupcake build so I assume it'll work with this. I'll let you know.
So far so good. I am glad to have openhome back again in 1.5
I have added all widgets, and they all work as expected. Are some of these the 1.5 "stock" widgets? I assume so because i see 2 music widgets listed, one looks like your own and the other a stock one.
I'll let you know how it goes after some proper usage. great work so far though. thankyou.
oh, p.s .. Will this be a free upgrade for those who had previosly purchased open home full ?
Works well enough. I like it.
Normally use full edition but will keep this until it is updated.
Suggestion: How about that calendar widget from Haykuro's build so those with dude's builds can use it?
Using it. Works well so far. I'm an OH Full user too, will I have any problems going back to the market app when it gets updated/released?
Ps. Is there any way to add support for Jeff Sharky's weather widgets? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509729
Weather widgets ok here. Problem with battery percentage widget though

It's already supported. That weather widget is working fine for me.
Hey guys i like the changes the menus are a little more intuitive now! Shame it doesn't seem to maintain your icons from older version, but weirdly kept my fonts theme etc - not sure if that qualigfies as a bug or not really
One problem i have found though is it seems to scrap folder icons the second you open bettercut again, not a huge problem but ....
BUGS!
I have almost 200 apps to SD so it's convenient to have my favorite "few" on the desktop. After I installed the new apk file... everything was GONE! Huge inconvenience! Then when I pull up the app menu I can watch them appear one after another like the app is doing a search for the installed apps. I also tried Picture Frame. It seems like it pulls up the Camera app, then the gallery. I selected my picture. Cropped it. Saved it. Then it went back to "select picture" again. Strange. Also... AnyCut Open Home Edition doesn't work. Definite bugs.
Other then that I love it. Thanks! Is this going to be in an update and when will it be available in Market? I purchased the full version months ago.

I don't think it has anything to do with bettercut because I don't have it installed and it still goes back to the default folder icons randomly, sometimes it comes back sometimes it doesn't.

Yea that kind of pissed me off when I realized it took all my stuff off the screen and the dock. It works fine besides these few issues though.

Hey quick question, is there any way to add a 3d effect on swipe? Like when you swipe to left or right screen, screen shrinks and rotates as a 3d cube. That will be awesome dude, you can name the app something different and charge for it again because I know damn well people will pay for it. I definitely will.

The reguar widget works for me, but not his. It isn't even displayed as an option.
Trying it out on my new Magic
But it's not 'open' in any sense...
Really dissapointed in losing all of my icons on all 7 screens. Glad that "real" widget support was actually added in. Almost went back to dxTop because of this. Please make the full version available on the market as an upgrade to the old full version. It would be nice to make it detect the old settigns and import them in.
Hey guys.. uhh i accidentally set my home to default instead of open home.. any help would be appreciated!

Opps. You have to wipe now.
Just kidding. You deal with it the same way as if you would set the defaults as any other app. Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Home>Clear defaults.
Been using this app for a few days now.I havent ran into any problems with it pretty smooth.Only down side was losing my icons.But no biggie.
I'm enjoying my rooted NC with ADW Launcher and various other apps etc. The one thing I'd really enjoy is a shortcut to immediately go back to my book after doing something else, web, facebook etc.
Presently, I have to go back to my home screen, click on the library and then click on my book again.
Any other workaround to go back to my Currently open book? On the native B&N Home Launcher it's a quick shortcut at the top of the screen to Keep Reading...any thoughts?
This is something that I am interested in as well.
Hopefully someone has an idea.
+1 - wondered why the book icon didn't do anything

I'm interested too. Someone ?
I have looked around the Droid 3 forums but cannot find it, perhaps my search skills just suck right now.
How do you remove the default Motorola lock screen? I use widget locker and every now and then I have to unlock the phone twice. It's pretty annoying. Anyone know how to do this?
I have rooted and ran the script to remove bloatware, as provided by mr. psousa. I need to donate!
And I know it says you're supposed to post Questions in the Q&A section... but I don't see one for the Droid3! Just 4 sections... general, accessories, development, and themes/apps.

There should be an option in WidgetLocker to disable the lock screen.
Thanks, I'll poke around in there more. I thought I saw that option awhile back (before I was rooted) but didn't know if I should look for something that wasn't there.
Edit:
Only saw the "replace lockscreen with Widget Locker when possible." In the past before I rooted it would sometimes make me swipe both screens but so far since rooting it hasn't asked me to do the default screen... let's hope it stays like this!

You can flash a different ROM. CM7 or CM9 (pre-alpha), or Liberty all have customizable lock screens. I had the same issue as you before I flashed to Liberty 2.0
There are root options in Widgetlocker, 'replace lockscreen with root access', or something like that. Not sure where the option is, don't have it installed.

That's the best way. I think its under advanced settings. I never had to double unlock

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
Sent from my Paranoid Android GT-N7000. It doesn't get much better than this!
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?
Sent from my Paranoid Android GT-N7000. It doesn't get much better than this!
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.

anyone also facing the same issue?
on Nougat i can just create a chat head shortcut from Facebook Messenger
but once i updated to Oreo (CLEAN INSTALL, full wipe and all)
i can no longer create any shortcut
- tried to uninstall/reinstall
- tried to be a part of the beta program
- clear cache/data
still same
any resolution would be great
thanks!
Same issue.
Yep I have the same thing.
Beta or not, still missing.
What launcher y'all using? Does it depend on the launcher? ???
Hi, What I have read, it does not depend on launcher, it depends on the OS it self. Oreo for some reason disabled this feature on lots of apps that can make shortcuts like that.
I've encounter the same thing on messenger but this is what i did (see ss) and it works fine now. I hope that's the same thing you mean.
It's in the settings>apps>messenger and look into advance option.
Warrenforfree I think perhaps you've misunderstood the issue here? Apologies if I am wrong. I think you're response is in regards to chat heads not showing over other apps or at all. However, the issue in question is that on devices running the Oreo OS, you are not able to create a shortcut on the home screen to individual chats, similar to the attached image.

yes you are right
surprisingly even on 8.1.0 its not there
I'll tell you why FB removed it ... Chat list now contains advertisements that FB wants you to see :/ If there is no way of duplicating desktop shortcuts then there is no way of doing it :/
Hello, new here and have been looking for a solution to this for about half a year. I'm not sure that FB wanting you to see their ads is the case. I have multiple devices that still allow me to add shortcuts to the home screen except for my main phone. I use Nova Prime on all of them and I am not able to add them on my LG G7. The option isn't even there yet it is on all my other devices. When I switch back to the default launcher I still cannot add a shortcut. I've done the whole uninstall/reinstall/ clear the cache/data thing. Contacted FB. Using a Nova backup from a previous phone, LG G6 which already had the shortcuts it put those on my screen and those work just fine.
