The 3x3 contacts/people tab is nice but its so annoying that the bottom three contacts are cut off by HTC’s slider, so you have to scroll.. is it possible to remove the title at the top of the screen which says “People” in order to shift the 3x3 grid up the screen. Thanks
what would be even nicer is a 4 column version instead of the 3 column one.
I was messing around with the homescreen settings on luncher pro and I changed the number of columns and number of rows, so now my Icons and clock widgets are all F'ed up (not lining up). Anyone one knows what the default settings?
Not sure on exact default, but I believe 4 on columns and 5 on rows.
I'm pretty sure its 4 row 4 column pure default. Most people around here use the above stated 4x5 though that have launcher pro plus (To resize widgets)
I have pro and when I re size widgets, the widgets don't change size, just the surface area the widget parameters take up. I have tried on the weather channel wide widget, and the analog clock widget.
Is that normal?
Default is 4x4 but I find that 4 columns by 5 rows works really well in both portrait and landscape.
Tip: once you get it back to normal, make a backup copy through the settings menu, then fool with it to your hearts content and go back whenever you want!
Thanks boys for the replies. Its 4x4. Great F'ing app BTW.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Most widgets will just do that when you resize, but some widgets (such as the picture frame) will actually resize the entire widget instead of just the space that it takes up.
Basically, do you like your homescreen filled to the brim with widgets? or do you like the cleaner look of icon rows?
Also, are you the kind of person that has 7 homescreens filled to the brim with widgets and icons, or the kind of person that has three homescreens and only uses them for a clock on the middle one and facebook/twitter on the others.
I am deffinetly the 3 homescreens guy.
Both - I have a mixture of widgets (weather, time, FaceBook, news) in addition to applications (gmail, texting, maps etc). 3-5 home screens, give or take.
3 Homescreens.
Main home screen is search widget, weatherbug widget, and Elixir widget. Also 8 icons (SMS, 2 mail, IM app, calender, market, map, and aftermarket browser). Screen to the left; music widget, pandora widget, youtube widget, and 4 icons (all media related). Screen to the right of main home page, power control widget and 12 icons (all related to OC, benchmarking, rooting stuff). Thats it.
3 home screens, calendar on the left,clock and weather in the middle and messages on the left. I like it clean and minimal
I have 7 homescreens with LauncherPro, but only use 4 of them. Main screen has Fancy Widget Pro, Curvefish brightness and 2G/3G toggle widgets, uptime widget, and Moon Phase Pro widget. Left screen has Facebook and Google Search. 2nd left has 4 x 4 Plume widget. Right screen has LauncherPro calendar.
No icons on the home screens, only widgets. I put icons of my most used apps in the LauncherPro dock, which has 3 screens of 5 each. Makes for a clean look.
7 homescreens with LauncherPro. Main (4) is blank, so I can see my spiffy wallpaper in all its centred glory. Most of the rest are icons aside from the power widget and a calendar, leaving a row or two blank to avoid mis-taps when swiping back and forth, and for aesthetics.
3 homescreens. Clock on one, calendar and notepad on the other two.

One homescreen. Four Simi Folders, and about three icons.
I really can't deal with the swiping cost to change screens.
I have 7 screens but only 6 have junk on them. The home screen is blank minus a clock. I use widgets and icons. I try to make a theme of each pages, i.e. game page, chat page, important page, etc. Plus a few photos on some pages where there were blank spots.

I use the default (5) homescreens on a stock launcher.
When I first started with Android I was all about widgets, then I realized that I never really use many of them and they just take up RAM/CPU/Battery, and now I've gone to more icons than widgets.
Home screen: 1x1 WatchDog widget, and a 1x4 Weather/News widget, rest icons for normal things like messages, market, XDA, etc.
My other screens have 0-1 widget and are generally categorized. aka I have a screen that is just music/videos/etc. another with productivity apps, and one for games. I use my far left screen for my nerdy apps like ROM manager, Titanium backup, File Explorer, and Terminal Emulator.
One screen. Use the ADW launcher with 5 icon dock. Only 4 shortcuts on the desktop. No widgets. Power control widgets in the notification window. Drawer organized into catalogs.
Htc flip clock widget, the rest of main screen is icons. Other 4 screens are htc widgets(calendar, people, fmradio) and a postit note widget

A mix between them. Starting to use less widgets due to me not using them and battery drainage.
Widgets all the way.
I moved from iphone cuz of widgets, also cuz everyone in my family got a iphone. Do you know how hard it is to tell which iphone is yours when everyone put on the coffee table. (and no we don't use cases)
Primarily using widgets now and down to 3 screens.
Home Screen has Simi Clock and Simi Folder - Use the Folder Widgets to access regularly used applications. I have 4 icons on this screen - SMS, Gmail, Dialer, Settings.
Right screen - Score Mobile Widget & Scrollable News/RSS Feed Widget
Left Screen - Pure Grid Calendar Widget & Power Control Widget.
News, WeatherEye, ESPN, Facebook and Twidroyd widgets, everything else is icons...

I have removed the clock and wide weather widget which shows as standard on the s2 and put beautiful widgets however its not as nice as the stock widgets
I've managed to put the clock back but the weather widget isn't wide and only covers half the space

Pls help thanks

Hold down finger on widget then it should get an outline you can drag to make it bigger (if using touchwiz)
Press and hold the weather widget.
It will show rectangular box with yellow lines outlining the extents of the widget. Drag the triangular (steel coloured)marker to fit the whole area.
You need to have enough space to expand the widget to its maximum size.
I was just reading the latest gossip on Nexus phones. Saw a home screen shot of a page of icons and the icons looked slanted. Then it hit me - instead of swiping from screen to screen, what if the block icons (apps) just appear to individually rotate to the icon in that same position on the next page! Or put another way, the flat icon is actually a four sided box and only one side shows at a time. Swipe and all the boxes rotate to the next side you swipe toward. A widget would seem to rotate and morph into whatever is on the next home screen page!
That might look pretty 'fresh' compared to the current way of screen refresh we now know.?.
Sound promising?
So basically, like a Rubik's cube? Or am I picturing it wrong?
Yep. Looks like the icon of a specific app rotates as it was a cube. Are we right?
