Is it possible to set a wallpaper for use with stock HTC Sense, then specify another wallpaper for use with another launcher?
Perhaps a specific launcher offers this option, or a specific ROM would allow for this?
I currently have stock ROM and use default Sense as well as Vire launcher.
I want a live wallpaper for Sense, but the Vire which I use during daytime I'd really like to use one of the provided static ones.
I've not found a way of achieving this though, so if anyone knows...
Cheers

Is there any way with Launcher Pro or ADW to get the stock clock from 2.1 that has the location and date on it? The one I like is the one that turns from black to white for night and day and has the date in the middle and location on the bottom.
I know, it's silly, but I've gotten used to the clocks that come with the Slide and I want to use them on my Launchers.
Thanks!
I am interested in the stock clock as well, but only to get the stop watch and count down clock back (I know their are downloadable ones too). I thought I remember someone posting the apks for the stock clock a while back...
I mean, I really like LauncherPro and ADW but I've gotten SO used to that clock and if it's sitting in the stock ROM I don't get why I can't get to it via the launchers? I thought there would be a clear way to do this or that I'd at least have the same options of apps and widgets as I did on the Stock OS.
Are you using a custom ROM? If so, those ROMs ultimately control what comes on the phone.
No, I'm just using the stock ROM. I haven't done anything to my phone. I simply don't see the same set of widgets as on the stock OS.
I guess it's my lack of knowledge then as to what the add-on launchers do to your phone...
No, I don't think it's you, I just think something coded into their software impedes access to Stock Widgets on MyTouch Slides.
Not sure if what you guys are talking about is the fact that HTC sense widgets can only be used with the sense launcher. That would be why if you install a alternate launcher all of the sense widgets such as the clocks are not there. There are some sense knockoff clocks and widgets on the market that can be used with other launchers. It is kinda like you cant use live wallpapers with sense launcher but if you install a alternate you can.
I think you just solved my problem. That makes perfect sense.
No I just gotta find a knock off of that day-night one with the date embedded into it.
Thanks
One of the biggest drawbacks to installing new themes is that my preferred desktop has to be rebuilt each time. It feels like I'm starting at square one.
Is there some easy way to retain the icon & widget layout I'm happy with when applying a new theme?

I am not sure if you are talking about the Homescreen... But regardless of your issue, it may be of some help to the community if you tell us what device you own, what rom you are using, and any other mods/tricks you've used. That would help us help you in the best manner possible. Anyways, are you using a custom launcher? I personally use Apex Launcher PRO, and when I apply themes, nothing happens to the desktop; everything remains in their location.
Does your issue occur with all theme's or just a certain theme? Have you tried applying a different rom? Restarting?
You're right, I should have included that information. I'm using an MZ604, Team EOS Stable Release 2 ROM.
The problem I have is with the home screen layout. I have my icons set up just the way I want them but if I use any other launcher app I have to redo my whole layout. I was wondering if there's a way to keep my custom homescreen icon setup when I change launchers. It would be a real time saver for evaluation purposes, but I suppose the launcher dev wants you to see a specific home screen layout to highlight their design at startup.

I am not sure if you can retain the locations of icons between launchers, only because all of them are different in many ways. However, you can try another launcher and make it the default launcher. Since you are evaluating, only keep a couple icons in custom locations. Then you can try applying different themes and seeing if that resets your homescreens. If it doesn't reset, it should be safe to replicate your original homescreens in the new launcher. For Apex Launcher (and I believe Nova Launcher), there is also an option to back up the layout of your homescreens to the xoom's internal storage.
Hope that helps...
Thanks, yosterwp. Yes, that's very helpful.

Hi... anyone running one of the variants of the Google Edition can help me with my lockscreen wallpaper... I can only change my lockscreen and regular wallpaper together... meaning I can't have two different images. I tried both stock launcher and Nova launcher but still nothing. Every combination... still when I change one, the other changes.
Maybe there is no way to do it.
Thanks.
There's no way to do this in stock Android. However, you can get a lock screen replacement app that lets you change the lock screen wallpaper.

Kinda of a workaround... using Multi Wallpaper Live app. Let's use set a different wallpaper on the lockscreen vs home. Just can't use live wallpapers.

is this possible for the app screens
Not possible with the current touchwiz launcher. You need to use another launcher
Hi i'm wondering if any body knows if it's possible to have two different wallpaper for each launcher home screen for example.
the mix has the miui launcher and i installed nova launcher and i have a wallpaper on the nova that doesn't look good on the miui home screen, this is why i'm asking if any body knows and point me on the right direction. thank you
As far as I know, when you set a wallpaper in a launcher and switch launchers, the wallpaper you set will be kept; in certain launchers there's a default wallpaper that overrides what you've set on the first launch, but apart from that, in my experience when a wallpaper is set all launchers will use that wallpaper. It's not that big of a hassle to switch wallpapers manually every time you switch launchers, is it?
You are right that is not a hassle to change it but I would like it to be automatic, ho. well
