Hi
I just wanted to ask if there is a way to change the number of slides of my homescreen in htc sense.
i know, there are apps that change the look of the homescreen like LauncherPro which I used for some time, with witch it is possible but I relly like the style of htc sense so i would prefer to use it.
what annoys me is that they "exist", I only use 3 slides and the other 4 are just unused.
cheers, Joib
no you cant, i also have trouble filling the screens cause i use the folders for catagories like games, tools ect. and my main screen is pretty empty cause i like it that way lol
but yeah sense doesnt let you, i swapped to launcher pro for this reason and its widgets are also basically copies of the htc ones so it suits me fine
thanks for your answer
i will stick with htc sense and live with it, maybe i will fill them over the time
Is there any way to change the colors/look of the dialer/phone pad screen ?
My wife hates the gray screen and buttons...
Android 2.1 (mine) and 2.2 (hers)

You might want to try out an app called Dialer One, its a replacement dialer and is customizable. To what extent I am unsure but I know it has a little different appearance than normal.
Thanx... I will show it to her and hope she likes the abilities it has...
I like it some, but I do wish you could get rid of the gray button colors, etc

Try youlu address book if you want an iphoney style.
Modifying the application to your needs and likes is also a possibility.
Just sayin'.
I've tried a few different sets of dock icons on my new Ascend, but they all seem too small or pixelated. Does anyone know of any attractive icons for the dock, or otherwise, that would look good on a smaller screen such as the Ascend's?
i have an ascend too, hopefully someone replys to our cry
UPDATE: I don't think my screen size is the problem, I think it's something with Launcher Pro Plus. Is there an option to scale the dock icons? Every icon I try, regardless of size, ends up really small on the dock.
Check out myascend.org. That site's developer has a dropbox site with all of his icons loaded. There's some cool stuff there. He is also on this site. I believe his user name is deris. You could try to PM him.
No icons, no wallpaper, no images of any kind. I've seen themes that used images of text to get the aesthetic down, which is still cool, but it seems like there's room for a launcher with a super tiny footprint that also looks sweet. Of course, if I've missed it, and this already exists, I'd love to be corrected.
Icons: plain text but could be include the ascii round of characters, maybe even the full unicode set?
Folders: Like any other asciicon. You could add a smaller ascii symbol to the lower right/left hand corner to signify it was a folder not a program if you really wanted. You could create a folder with ascii art.
Wallpaper: ASCII art. Not a photo thereof, actual ASCII. Would need the ability to alter color and perhaps alpha to avoid confusion with foreground.
Widgets: text output only. Input fields would be reminiscent of a terminal input. Associated buttons would be dealt with a la asciicons, with ascii symbols.
Customizability: on par with ADW or LP.
I'd pay for that ^. Would anyone else? I realize these days with super phones, live wallpaper and 3d carosels are more sexy, but there are a lot of hacked devices running froyo that are still light on specs and plain text can have a nice sharp retro appeal. It seems like there's a potential market there for an enterprising developer.
Is there a launcher whose theme engine could produce a plain text only setup? Would the footprint be significantly reduced by such a theme?
What this lacks in popularity, it makes up for unanimity. 100% in favor. An enterprising developer could just charge me and that one other guy who likes the idea a fortune each and still turn a profit! Any takers?
One last New Year's bump.
Hi,
I'm currently learning Android programming and studying Launcher2 code. In near future I will be starting a launcher which will have a pseudo-graphic text mode (remember Turbo Pascal?) with minimalist (16x16?) icons, some simple widgets, notepad/folders (which will work like resizable and stackable windows), and a commandline mode (can be configured to mimic either DOS or Linux, but with some builtin shortcuts and functions for Android usage). It doesn't have a name yet. I will certainly announce it on xda when any usable version will be finished and tested on at least a few devices.

Sounds interesting, I look forward to it. Are you gearing the text mode to have a super small footprint, or is it more for nostalgia's sake?

Mainly for nostalgia's sake and "I just want it on my phone so badly and no one did it before" sake, though I know few people who could use it. I wouldn't release the project open source but it will probably free for ever. I won't include all dos/linux commands, of course (keep it simple and not bloated), and i will simplify/shortcut some things for android usage (like, running apps from CLI just by their name, not any going-in-depths-to-system-folders stuff), though I shouldn't spoil everything already lol. Also I still have a 2.3.7 device...
I've found lightning launcher and it's the lightest weight launcher I've found. My 528mhz dinosaur actually feels snappy again after I pared down the options to it's most minimal setup. What's more there are lots of customizations available even for devices that aren't ancient.
It's not plain text, but it is light.
I've been looking for a theme like this for a long time, never found one. It would be cool to have a phone without all the aesthetics. Black screen with only text , or very small symbols.
Sorry if this is the wrong place(seeing as everything is mainly GUI themes), but I couldn't find a better alternative & sounds are part of the theme, no?
So I'm looking for some sounds, mainly for notifications & SMS. I'm looking for sounds that are short(like "pings" or "beeps". Examples of the types of sounds I'm looking that come stock on my Nexus 5 are Ariel, Ceres, Elara, Europa. Also various BBM sounds from blackberry are the type I'm looking for.
I have and use Zedge, and I've found several that I like, but I was just curious if anyone else had any sound packs that are tailored towards that type of sound. Are there any Material Design theme sounds? Something that fits with the material design UI(similar to when Samsung announced the Galaxy S3 and how it was designed with nature in mind(form factor resembled a pebble), and they had new sounds that reflected this, like the UI sound of the water droplet.
