I'm using SlideScreen and I love it. The only problem I have is getting back to the original home screen to access my power widget. I have to either
a) change the wifi/bluetooth/GPS settings manually or
b) goto app settings -> manage apps -> slidescreen -> clear defaults
Anycut failed to make a shortcut to "launcher" in the launcher. It only makes it a shortcut on the homescreen. Is there a way to make an icon for launcher/home in the actual launcher??? Or is there an app that is like the power widget that I can install?
Thanks in advance

I see several screenshots posted here from people who use Launcher pro.
I do like those screenshots and there are some handy things about it what i like.
However.... I am a bit afraid to mess up my Desire. So i have a couple of questions....
1. If I install this app Can I switch easily between Sense & launcher Pro
2. How can i Switch
3. The most important Widget from sense is the contacts Widget, is there a widget that can replace this functionality ?
4. I also the mail widgets from Sense is there a replacement for those ?
I hav a stock rom with the latest Update. I don't want to root or dos something like that. Can I have a go with LauncherPro ?
If your in bed with sense why not stay there for now and see what happens on the 23rd when we get FroYo?

Yes, you can use an app on the market called Home Switcher.

Not exactly, but similar widgets are available.

There are widgets out there... give Executive Assistant a spin
Why not just install it and see what you think... you might like it and ditch the sense stuff... which imo isn't that great!
Yes, switching is easy! You can either go through the "Manage Applications" menu (Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications), select your current launcher and tap "Clear Defaults", or go to marketplace and download "Home Switcher" which makes life really easy if you're indecisive. ;P
You're also asked which launcher to use the first time you tap the Home button when one is installed or removed. You have to tap the checkbox at the bottom to set one as the default, so one of the easiest way to try it out is to leave it unchecked, then you get prompted each time, once you've made your choice, you can just tap the checkbox.
I'm not sure about specific replacements for those widgets, but in general there are solutions. You can add contacts to your homescreen directly the same way you add widgets (Hold a blank area -> Select "Shortcut" -> "Person").

Hey guys, I'm trying to give Touchwiz a chance before I inevitably switch to Launcher Pro or ADW. I'm using Handcent for SMS and wanted to know if anyone's found a way to change the Messaging shortcut at the bottom that's built into Touchwiz. I'd just like to get it to point to Handcent instead of the default messaging app.
menu > edit > customization.
open app drawer... long press handcent... move to bottom drawer and replace messanger.
you can then swith back to whatever view you prefer.
Ahhh i see..you have to have Customizable Grid selected as the View Type in order to do what u said. I was on the default Alphabetical grid.
Thanks!
I'm really curious to know how I can change the default 4 app shortcuts in the launcher.
The ones I'm talking about is the Phone, Messaging, Contacts, etc
I have my phone rooted, the works.
For the life of me I've played with the phone all weekend and looked online and can't seem to find a damn thing.
Thanks for any help you good folks can provide, and I look forward to some fantastic ROMS from the community!
Push applications button > menu > select customizable grid
Push menu > edit
You can drag icons from the app drawer to the bottom, but you can only change 2 of the 4.
best way IMO is to use a different launcher
launcher pro and ADWL Launcher are both excellent and worth a try.

hey guys
Im running cyanognemod for DHD and ive accidently replaced the drawer button in the middle of the dock with another shortcut... how do i recreate the link to the app drawer??
Longpress homescreen - custom shortcut then tap "pick your activity" and choose "launcher actions", select "open/close App drawer". After that drag & drop the launcher icon on the appr. place.
Cheers
Cheers. I was going nuts bouncing through all the menus.
Huh - same here - apparently widget delete has been moved to the top. I, by default, tried to delete a widget by tossing it over the drawer button. Then 10 minutes wondering around before I hit search
Thanks Ce!
disable the new behaviour
Isn't there any way to prevent the center icon from being replaced? This new behaviour is quite anonying.
yeah paramthegreat... I wish there was a way to do that
Can't you lock the home screen?
Someone swyped my idea.
Dear,
Since i'm experimentating with my homescreen and using different launchers i deleted the button just above my dock to go to all apps. currently i'm using nova launcher and i don't know how i can add the button again.
Quiet irritating as i can't go to all my apps....
U should be able to add a new shortcut to the home screen labeled app drawer and the you can put that back in the original location
Indeed you need to hold the homescreen, the pick widget and there are soms widget of nova launcher included the app drawer! Thx mate!
I was looking in to the settings from nova launcher!
