Homescreen background on all Tabs?

Doe anybody know if this is possible? Now I only got the background on the hometab, but it would be nice if it is shown all the time... A quick search didnt do the trick for me

id also love to be able to do this, anybody have any clues??

Yeah i would like something like this too.
Maybe even an option to have a different background pic on each tab, so say i have a Dark Knight pic on my home page behind the clock an stuff when i move across to say settings for example i could have a different pic there instead of the plain black with the squares underneath!

bump, the more ive thought about this today the more i want it!

Looked in the files, but have't found a way to do it :\

Me as well, did a quick look around the picture files and was hoping that it was just a normal background picture, but I had no succes as well :S

well i assume it wud jus be a case of replacing the image of the grey squares wherever that file may be. for having different image per tab would probably need additional software i would assume. then again, im just guessing. gonna keep this thread open because this is something i really want on my diamond

I'd also love to get an answer to this.

This is not possible till now.
If you use the search, you will see, that it is not possible to change any graphics of touchflo3d till now.

Sorry that may bad english confused you all. I meant: It is not possible at the moment.

Hi.
Anyone knows if it's still not possible to change the background on all of the tabs?

This would be a very cool feature

it sure would! And I’ve seen a lot of people asking for this feature, so I’m surprised that non of the diamond experts has figured out how just yet.

sushilange and D-MAN666 are figuring this out right now ...
They are developing an app to change the manila files...

App to answer and end touch screen?

Is there an app for this? And does the phone have to be rooted? just seems practical on the touch screen

What do you mean, like for in-call options?

I think he doesn't want to hit the green phone button, but the screen, to answer a call, as well as ending the call w/o using the red End button.

Look there has been multiple threads on this... that and a full screen pic for the incoming calls

Yea i just saw a thread for the full screen pic but i can careless about that.. all i want it the answer and the end to be on the screen so i dont use the buttons on the phone.. used an iphone for a bit and now i keep catching myself touching the screen in frustration.. So is there something? and does it require a root? can I have a link if its not to much trouble ..the search feature here forwards u to google so its tough to use

Don't worry about them. Your question is legitimate, and the suggestion to use the buttons on the phone was a workaround, not a resolution. These internet tough guys like to show their virtual muscles for everyone to see. Just learn to ignore them.

Back to topic.
I would agree with Turbo, it would be cool to have a function like this, however, when you are on your phone, your cheek rubs against the screen, (and don't tell me yours don't ever touch the screen) it would be nice to be able to have this option with an enable/disable function.

Well that WAS a problem b4 cupcake, not sure if you noticed or not but while on a call after several seconds the screen locks/sleeps, and when on a call and the Dialpad is up it requires a "Double-Tap to unlock" on screen to unlock it. Unless your chewing gum or bouncing it off your cheek it should not be a problem. You can also use Shake Awake.
Now if someone could make a app like OP wants, it would be NICE, as I been looking for something like it for a long time.

True, forgot about that. also if you are using a headset, it doesn't matter either...

Yes, the Hero ROM describes what you're talking about. It has a Green "ANSWER" button and a red "DECLINE" button, just like the iPhone.
Unfortunatly, an APP can't do this yet because it's all built into the version of the phone, not an application itself. If someone could port it over, that'd be great!

well if im correct i dont think the hero rom is the only 1...i may be wrong but i think the HTC Magic ports that Haykuro did also had a different way to answer the phone it had the HTC dialer, its been a while since i used that rom been dealing with Hero, its a little more stable and user friendly then hero you may want to check that rom out.

I used to run off of Haykuro's builds since he started making them. I haven't seen any HTC builds with an on-screen answering option like the Hero build. I know all about the HTC dialer, but there's no on-screen things that are drastically different.
Besides, the Magic and the Dream have no difference UI-wise except for the tiny extra features that Haykuro's "H" builds have offered.

APP drawer orginizer?

My girl and i both have G1s. Her phone uses DXtop and is not rooted. Her DXtop has the ability to orginize APPs in her APP drawer. I have been looking everywhere and cant find anything that alows my rooted G1 to do the same. Is there anything out there that can manage APPs in the drawer on a rooted G1 running cyan 4.0.4?

its not a home replacement like dxtop....it actually replaces the one you have
did you even read the op properly?
I'm confused by myself. So here's the description: u17 ist still the old version for cupcake releases. There is a standalone and a replacement. Both are for cupcake based builds.
Then there ist v2.0.1. It's the new version. It's for donut based builds. And it's currently only the replacement version, standalone will come.
So don't use v2.0.1 on cupcake based builds (like cyanogen's 4.0.4 stable) and don't use u17 or u17_replacement on donut based builds (like the cyanogen experimental branch).

yesterday i spent 3 hours debugging another teams program. they had 6000 SLIC and it crashed on run time. I figured what the hell, im up for a challenge. well the whole program crashed because of one letter
fliers instead of flier
both flier and fliers were valid so it compiled fine but crashed when it was run. the exception being thrown was nowhere near (in a completely unrelated class) where the error was and the debugger on eclipse missed it completely.
turns out, the guys made bets on how long it would take me to find it. (i beat all their wagers. i told them to give me the pot or id report their asses. see, im super productive XP )
because of that diversion, i didnt get my team to finish their project so i made them stay after xD

I've had to go thru line by line studyin everything to see whats been wrong and after awhile everything just blurs together.

Pinch-To-Zoom Home Screen Preview in Non-Sense Roms?

Would it be possible to port Pinch-To-Zoom Home Screen Previews to any non-Sense rom out there? I ask because people said that Launcher2 wouldnt work on Donut, and minus the wrap-around effect, it works very well on Donut. Also I believe super D is using htc framework in his latest build, so i was wondering if what im asking is even remotely possible to do?

Lol why would you want to? We already have the preview cards, why would you want to be able to pinch to zoom to do the same thing? I suppose that if you knew what you were doing you would be able to take bits and pieces from the rosie.apk and port it to the regular launcher.apk, and it definately is possible, but I'm just saying your gonna have a hell of a time doing it lol. And your running the latest radio? Since when? How did you fix it?

eh idk its nifty lol, i was just wondering if it was possible or not, since it seems these donuts are mutating into sense/eclair wannabes lol. itd be kinda cool actually. I wonder if anyone with experience would try that.
yeah i am, how did i fix it? i switched g1s lol. it turns out my old one had a hardware problem or something because no computer would detect it for adb, and the radio wouldnt update no matter what even with a goldcard (i managed to downgrade it tho ) lol. i tried to fastboot a radio but i couldnt since something inside the phone was preventing it from being detected and preventing the radio from updating...its been dropped a lot..lol.

Since SuperD already has the HTC framework, can't you push the rosie.apk and use that? You can even re-theme it so it looks like the standard donut launcher, or get somebody smart like ADW to merge it into his launcher for you.

I'm pretty sure that SuperD only has enough of the HTC Framework to run a few things (He mentions HTCMusic specifically so I think that'
s what it is limited to). As for getting it in non-Sense roms, I'm all for telling the lazy coder Anderwebs to get off his butt and try to code it

you get a very similar result when using the almost nexus launcher for donut builds, just long click the dots.

Problem with that (and the way I think he sees it), is that by the time you long press the dots, you could have flipped through all the screens. The dots just aren't practical for swiping through screens. The double-tap is a great implementation in HelixLauncher, but unfortunately, it lowers the response time for singe tap and/or swiping (it is making sure there is not a second tap).

-afaik only "cyanogenized" donut roms contain the required kernel/framework stuff to even detect multitouch, so it would only work on those.
-the sense zooming thing is, imho, the standard "preview cards" just laid out differently and sligthly animated, not a real zoom. I've (almost)already managed to do this for an upcoming version of my launcher.
-the point here is to find a better (and compatible) way of triggering the previews. Longpressing is "slow", multitouch isn't compatible/accurate, doubletap can be tricky...
I tried a few ideas, but the one i like more is just tapping the "home" button. Actually it's implemented to "goto your default screen" but i changed it to show desktop previews and somewhat worked (need more time to do it properly).
I may try whatever alternative you ppl provide here.

How about the alternative where you stfu and/or buy me a N1?
I like the "home" button idea. I rarely use it anyway and I'm sure he's quite jealous of the other buttons.

eek! i honestly dont like the home button idea. maybe you could make the launcher similar to the sense style launcher, by replacing the dots with a slider like sense has and making it look like a pull up tab with a button in the center to bring out the app drawer, and at the center just above the button you could pull up on it (like a regular launcher) and itd show the previews...a lot quicker and easier to navigate through the screens than your current launcher if you ask me...maybe i can draw up a concept and put it up here...

If you need to get rid of it, you can set it to manual update to save on processing/battery, then swipe it away and define the empty next screen as your home screen, and add more for the original multi-pane android home feel. You could, for example, add 5 home pages ... scroll to the third empty one, declare that as default home, and then have the equivalent of a typical 2-left, center, 2-right android layout, and you can lways flip further till you get to blinkfeed if you ever do ant to play with it for a while.

I actually like it! I use flipboard on a daily basis while listening to music. I wish the time/weather at the top was swappable with music controls or some other useful things.
One thing I haven't seen in any video is how BlinkFeed has an impact on power/data. I think I saw someone mention that the feeds only get updated when you swipe down to refresh? I am not sure if this is the only way to update or if there is an automatic timer as well. If it only updates when you swipe then certainly it shouldn't affect battery/data too much. I know that only headlines and pictures are updated when you refresh and the content is only downloaded once you press on an item.

would blinkfeed use too much of juice and ram has anyone had demo unit

I actually think its a pretty neat idea...it'll help me keep track of GSW trying to keep their playoff spot or the LAL trying to get in to the playoffs haha.
But that's what I was thinking...I mean you could just unsubscribe from all that news and nothing will show up...right?

It doesn't really matter. As others have said, you can turn off automatic updating and set another screen to be your homescreen, thus never having to see BlinkFeed again unless you want to. I'm glad HTC allowed for us to move away from it if we want to, but I imagine myself using it since I think the design of it is great.

I am not convinced of it as well as I like the clean sense look, my first challenge will be to hack this out or somebody else might do it before me, let's see

It would be interesting to see if someone could make it so you designate a certain screen/page as the 'BlinkFeed' screen (similar to setting a page as the homescreen). That way you could remove it entirely or move it around so it could be in the middle of all your screens.

You can move the blinkfeed to a different screen if you don't want it to be the home screen

I think it's a great idea and looks great, I'll probably will leave it as my home screen. I read somewhere that Sky News will be available along with BBC news, can anybody confirm?

looks like a good idea..
While im in line or something, i can just get all my information on the homescreen.
Great concept.

im definitely looking forward to blinkfeed!

a few seconds after 2:20 he says "you can turn Blinkfeed off, you have an option to do so."
