Hi,
Is there anyway of getting 5 columns on both the home screens and in the menu using the Sense UI? I know I can use ADW Launcher, but to be honest I quite like the HTC Sense especially the friend stream stuff.
I would like the ability to have 5 columns of icons and to be able to reduce the size of the font though.
Any thoughts?

Try multicon from market/appbrain. I use it and it's great

Is that even possible? I don't want to use FreedHome e.t.c. because I really like the HTC Widgets and Sense UI layout but I just want to be able to have a 4 x 5 grid.
this would be brilliant, am in exactly the sane position...have had a look around but couldn't find anything either

Pretty much I'm asking. Is there a launcher that is like adw and launcher pro but is compatible with sense widgets.
I've been looking but not finding.

There isn't one. Sense, including the widgets, is proprietary to HTC and they are very quick to sue when it comes to their property. There are some skins available that make use of the google apps, calendar and music, that work well with LauncherPro. I've used Pure Music Widget by francois Deslanders and it has a nice transparent 4x4 widget.
Sad face...
Hmm I see the issue. No one would wanna do that work for free. Thx for quick response.

I've seen and tried some of the things you pointed out. But I guess I'm really just trying to make use of my sense rom. I'm using launcher pro and I love it but not being able to you the weather widget has always bugged me.

Beautiful Widgets has almost the exact same weather/clock widget as HTC, plus hundred of others to choose from. Only problem I ever had with it is it gets my location wrong sometimes.
Thx I've looked into beautiful widgets but I'm talking about the full screen weather widget the one with the forcast.
The reason I was asking was mainly because of the resizing of widgets in these launchers.

GO Weather maybe?

Yeah it only has a 4x1 weather widget which kind of sucks. Launcher Pro does allow resizing but it just keeps the same 4x1 widget and enlarges it to about 4x2 and it doesn't look good.
Cool so I just got done trying out the go weather app. Its not bad but I only really like it because of the live wallpaper.
But for that same reason It's not what I'm looking for. I do appreciate the idea. Oh well still looking.
I guess what I'm really looking for is that sense 4x4 forcast widget on one of my launcher pro screens. (I know not possible lol)

Hopefully they release their Sense SDK soon like they said they would.
Palmary Weather Pro is very close. I think it's a buck or 2 in the market. I love it.

Hey guys, greetings from over at the SGS4G section. My wife has a mt4g and wants some more themes... But she won't let me root it or change it in any way...lol.
So.. are there any themes that she can add to the stock rom?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
No, not without root. Your only option is to change the look of the homescreen by using a third-party launcher like LauncherPro or ADW. Those offer a lot of customization and can be used without root. Launcher themes don't change near as much of the phone's appearance as a full system theme does though.
Dxtop, go launch

Thanks guys, just wasn't certain since it came with the sense themes
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
yep, best bet is the hundreds of different themes with 3rd party launchers.. adw/launcher pro. If she wants wants to change the look of her icons i think anycut or bettercut doesnt require root. Desktop visualizer is worth a look ad well.

Go launcher ex is free and has a bunch of themes. Also they are icon packs u can choose if you put them on your sdcard from the themes section I believe. Desktop visualizer will let you change the icons on screen and go launcher will let you put custom icons on the bottom bar.

I find that very few apps/widgets that I have offer a 5x1 or more size.
I can only name HD Widgets as one. Which ones d'you have installed on your Note?
Can anyone recommend a good weather/forecast widget with tablet size available?
I find that using ADW Launcher Ex's widget/icon resizing helps but sometimes makes poor resolution or such more noticeable. Unfortunate. Also, resizing doesn't offer more information to be included. So native support is still the most useful!

Android Pro Widgets and Jorte both have nice 5x5 widgets.
No luck yet for weather, though...
Give "3D Flip Clock and World Weather" a try. I've been using it since I got my note.
I use beautiful widgets and the weather widget on there is pretty nice.

I'm digging 'Snowstorm Weather' although it's only 4x1 - I am using Go Launcher so just resize it to 5x1 and it still looks great.
I am using " beautiful widgets ", works very well with Note. See my screen shot.

I'm using beautiful widgets as well, it has a 5x2 superclock widget.
@skyhew, what skin are you using and which widget gives you the controls on the screen?
Edit nevermind Skyhew. I think you are using HD widgets and I found the settings for those
I use 3D Flip Clock and World Weather. 5x2

Launcher Pro is best.
But older ADW Launcher EX is amazing too, sooo fast + amazing customizeable.
I use ADW 1.3.3.56
ADW 1.3.3.8 (newest) starts to lag a lil.
Oh, 2am here, time to sleep for sk00l

Hello, maybe head on to second post in my signature and download windows launcher 8. I think it has tiles enabled.:thumbup:
For me - ADW Launcher EX - it's the best options that I use and check on my device ;]

i thought about win8 launcher but it is slower than launcher 7 in my case ): maybe if i will put animations instead of pictures as tiles it would work. for now no time so i can't test it ):

Gonna try ADW now, had the default launcher running till now
Try Holo launcher, its pretty cool on wildfire
for me holo was little bit laggy ): better download launcher pro or adw and ics icon pack and it will look like like ics a little bit. anyway if u want ics style the best way is to download ics rom

ADW
ADW because of swipe gestures and also catalog navigations I just group icons i use and keeping them there intead of desktop you can find few cool themes too...
I backed again to launcher 7 tiles are great :3

In my opinion...:
1) stock sense launcher and
2) launcher 7 donate
