Flashing roms & home screen tabs - Desire HD General

Hello guys, I am new to android. Can anyone guide me to flashing roms and changing the stock home screen tab? What must have apps do I need?

To change your home you don't need to flash anything. Just install your new launcher (LauncherPro, ADW, Zeam Lancher etc etc), press the home key, select your new launcher and if you are satisfied with it, next time when you press home mark the "default" checkbox as well.

How about those icons on the top right corner? How do i change those?

Those are parts of base OS and that requires rooting, flashing s-off bootloader and many more things. I never went so deep in customizing, so i leave the answer to someone more knowledgeable in this area.

Download for Espresso Launcher?

I'm looking to flash the Espresso launcher onto my phone running DamageControl 2.08.1 right now. I tried searching around and I can't seem to find a link for it anywhere. I'm basically trying to resolve that menu to unlock bug (tap menu twice it unlocks and pops up the menu).
Figured it out on my own. After doing a ton more searching around, I found that if you're running DamageControl, you can install it through DCUpdater. Go to Themes and have a look if anyone else is curious.

CM7 Stable home screen shortcuts problem

After flashing CyanogenMod 7 stable release, I haven't been able to move any shortcuts or widgets around.
Before flashing from CM7 RC4 to stable, I didn't have this problem and the icons moved when I long pressed on them.
Yes, I have tried rebooting the phone
Thanks for any help and info
try pressing menu, and click unlock desktop.

Lockscreen disabled with ICS rom--Please help

Hi, anyone here have issues with lockscreen being disabled after flashing an ICS rom? I have flashed multiple times with all the available ICS roms. Rom loads up but I have no lockscreen. Pressing the power button goes directly into the OS and bypasses the lockscreen. Played around with settings but no luck. Otherwise the roms seem to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
factory reset and install the rom again

Go to system settings/security/screen lock/select (none/slide/face unlock/pattern/pin/password)
I have gone into the settings and chose multiple lockscreen settings but still no lockscreen. Also wiped and reflashed multiple times. Currently, using lockscreen widget from market...but would still rather use the original lockscreen. BTW i came from RRv22 and have followed the installation instructions very strictly from all the different roms. Weird, never had this problem before.

How to disable nav bar in coldFusionX?

Lately I fished out my old Blade to use as a backup device, installed ColdfusionX on it, but it has this damn navigation bar (soft buttons) on the bottom. How can I get rid of them? There is no option in settings.
Thanks in advance. I'd ask in colfusionX thread, but it seems most threads in development are dead.
IIRC softbuttons where a separte zip to flash, just reflash CFX without it. Anyway, the only ICS rom that still has some activty is KonstaKANG, i suggest you to switch to that build, it has just been updated yesterday, it's smaller (138mb vs 190+) and has some custom options implemented by KonstaT

Custom ROMs can have their buttons programmed which ever way. I don't have the same ROM at the moment, so can't answer specifically for your ROM. But as an example, my Touchwiz ROM came with Wanam Xposed, which I can use to change the way the Home button behaves. Maybe there are some options in your ROM settings, or maybe the ROM came with some appropriate utility. If you don't find a way to customize the home button, I suggest you go check out the subforum specific for your custom ROM.

Are you refering to the recent apps panel? Or a full blown task manager cause i have not seen a rom come with a task manager but recent apps all9ws u to clear apps from memory but not kill system/kernel processes they way a task manager would

i mean when you long press on home button in other S4 models will opening task that show you which apps runing now , but in L720 not have this option , how can do it ? also if screen off in sleep mode , and other S4 models you press on home button the phone will wake up but L720 is doing nothing , maybe need to change in EFS or SYSTEM folder home button function ?
On stock Roms for the SPH-L720 the home button does wake up the phone and holding the home button brings up the task manager/recent apps. So it is the custom Roms that you are running. As mentioned above it has to be some of the settings.

Any asop rom will have those settings under "buttons". Ive never ran a stock rom for more then 5secs in my life on any of my phones but u have to mean the recent apps menu.
Ive been sticking with sokp but ive flashed every aosp rom here atleast once. Xposed is always an option or xda button remapper. I have mine setup longpress menu is recents.. Longpress home is camera.. Longpress volume up is flashlight.. Longpress back kills current app.. By using sokp built in button control. Xposed torch.. Xposed additions.. And developer options... I use an extra xposed module to adjust the long press delays (xposed additions)
