Rename widgets on HTC HERO

I thought it was possible to rename the widget names that are displayed in the screens. However, long pushing a widget starts the option to move/reorder/delete the widget, but renaming is not possible.
Am I overseeing something? I thought I had read somewhere that renaming is possible.
Thanks!

[Q] Themes

Ok so I know theres ADW Home which is my favorite.. But I hate how I cant have friend stream nor the mail and calendar widgets from HTC. Is there anyway I can change the icons without having to change everything else? and/or the dock.

Yeah. I made a folder on the sd card root and loaded it with my own custom icons. Then in ADW, long press any app and select edit. Then click on the icon and choose select image. Browse to your icon folder and select.
Sent over HSPA+ using XDA app.

You can change the function of your sense dock by visiting my thread on button mods. There is a link in my signature for it. Then you will still be able to use all the Htc widgets.

How do I add wallpaper to CM7?

Okay...still playing with CM7 and I'd like to be able to change the wallpaper. I'd even like to try and use one of the stock wallpapers. But I can't figure out how you add to the available wallpapers in CM7. I've searched all over and it seems the only thing to do is install an app. I can't even figure out how to add anything to the gallery in CM7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't understand your question(s).
To change wallpaper long press on the wallpaper and a menu should pop up.
To add pictures to your gallery, I've seen problems of people that have it downloaded to the folder Downloads that actually don't appear on Gallery. In that case, a workaround is to create a folder on the root of the SDcard and move the pictures there. Also have a play with the option from inside Gallery (such as default albuns). You should try this before creating the folder in root.

I want to add other wallpapers to use besides the 'stock' ones. The only options I have are "CyanogenMod Wallpapers", "Gallery", "Live Wallpapers", and "No wallpaper". I want to add some additional wallpapers to use besides the CM7 wallpapers.
First option would be to add to the list of wallpapers that are available under "CryanogenMod Wallpapers". So, my first question is how does one do that, if at all?
My next choice is to get something in the gallery, but I can't figure out how to do that either and I get no option for albums in the gallery. It just sees nothing.

I think that now I got it!
The only way that I know how to add extra wallpapers is either installing 1) Wallpaper Rotator, 2) putting images in gallery or, 3) adding wallpapers through the market.
1) and 3) are done using market.
2) Go to the gallery (through the app), click menu, show hide albums (or maybe settings-default albums) and check which albuns are enabled. Then try downloading an image from the internet and see if it shows that image.
The images contained in your sdcard, like in a root folder, should show up in gallery.
I hope this helps! It works on mine!

Thanks. I'm having issues with the gallery for some reason. I keep getting force closes on the status bar when I try to open the gallery and I have no option for the albums. I did figure out that the problem is with the gallery and that, after a restart, it found the places I tried.
For the record, it recognized folders in all of these as albums
SDCard->Root
SDCard->DCIM
SDCARD->DCIM->Camera

I'm using 7.1RC1 and sometimes I also get some strange force closes where my status bar disappears. In my case it was never with Gallery.
Still I think you sort of solved it.

Yep - I'm good! Thanks!

Don't use gallery. Download quickpic from the marketplace, it's free and works a lot better.

[Q] Google apps folder

Hi.
Just got a Nexus 4 after some thieving Spanish barstewards stole my Note 2. Loving the phone so far.
Quick question. Can you add to the Google apps folder on the home screen that is there when you first start it up? I know you can delete from it as I deleted the Youtube widget, but I wanted to add the Google Now widget but when I try to add it as if it was a folder it doesn't work.
Is it just not possible?

Guess I'm not following what you mean exactly by folder?
Are you using the stock launcher or another launcher (ie: apex, nova, etc) .
Normally to add a widget you would simply long-press the home screen, select widgets, and pick that, and should show up as a widget, if you're creating a folder you're probably dragging the app icon onto something else.

Yeah, I thought I wasn't explaining myself very well.
It's stock launcher. On the home screen, when you first set up the phone, there is a widget/folder titled "Google" which is effectively a folder containing the widgets for various Google apps ie Gmail, Google+, maps etc. I wondered whether it is possible to add to this folder (for want of a better word). If I try to drag a widget over it that doesn't work.
Hope that's a bit clearer.

Don't worry - sorted it.

App drawer folder behavior is dependent on their name

Has anyone else noticed the app drawer folders in the stock ROM behave differently depending on their name?
I noticed it with the Google folder, the + icon that lets you quickly add apps to a folder is disabled for certain words, like Google. You can see the difference in the screenshots where I rename it and the + icon in the bottom right disappears/reappears.
I assume this is standard (if useless and annoying) behavior?
