Kind of strange, I'm using JT's super clean rom and I just bought the dock for my fascinate. It was automatically launching aosp desk clock. I decided to copy over the stock desk cradle app into system and now when I dock the phone, nothing launches. The other issue I'm having is it doesn't force the phone in landscape mode like my old droid dock did and it bothers me because I only want launcherpro to be in landscape when docked. I tried to remove the aosp desk clock thinking maybe you can't have 2 apps handle it but that didn't solve it, also it would have prompt asking which app to launch. I'm not sure how android handles the dock event or what program does, but I would like to figure out how to restore this. I tried using tasker to control orientation settings but it doesn't seem to have enough flexibility to detect which app is in the foreground.
I also have the dock cradle. I used the stock desk clock for a while, but I hated it.
I settled on using the Alarm Clock app. I didn't have to do anything special to get it to work except making sure the Android News & Weather app was installed. I was never asked which app to launch, but I believe I uninstalled the stock one after a while. I had up to 3 desk clock apps installed at one point while testing them all and I never had an issue.
I only use portrait mode for my launcher (currently Go Launcher, but usually TouchWiz). The Alarm Clock app had no trouble switching from portrait to landscape no matter what my launcher settings were.

Tried it
Tried it, but it still wouldn't work. It's weird, it's suppose to detect when it's docked and launch the default dock app, but nothing launches at all. The home button will bring me to my default launcher, and the orientation as I mentioned won't change. I only installed desk cradle and after that it stopped working completely. I'm trying now to reinstall the aosp clock and remove desk cradle. Hope it at least works with that again.
I'm having the exact same problem. Please update the thread if you find a solution.
Sort of fixed
Well, I got it sort of working again. It now goes to the aosp clock and the home button also brings it to it. It doesn't fix my orientation problem so I'm going to learn to deal with allowing rotation in launcherpro. So you need to remove both the deskclock and deskhome from /system/app, then using rom manager flash the aosp deskclock zip from sonofskywalker, then you should have the aosp deskclock working with the dock. I still haven't figured out how to get the stock desk cradle to work, maybe it's the way JT's supercleanrom handles it? It came with aosp stock apps and lockscreen by default, I had to flash back the puzzle lock and other stuff. Wish I knew more about the android operating system and how things really worked...

Launchers of like Touchwiz, iPhone, MIUI and DELL android tablet use those squared backgrounds for the icons on their home screen.
I've searched XDA for a themer/dev who has done this but no luck.
People seem to rather remove the iPhone's icon style but I think it looks nice.
Now I want to achieve this effect on a Sense or non-Sense based ROM without photo shopping every icon.
So is there a way to mod a Standalone Launcher like LauncherPro or ADW to have this icon style?
I'd love to help if any dev wants to give this a shot.
Thanks.
I know there are roms with those iphone-style backgrounds... here is one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688687
*note this rom is only compatible with the eris* *it has been ported to other htc phones though*
Also the mytouch slide has bubbles behind each icon,
Also if you install touchwiz3.0 launcher (ripped from a galaxy s phone) it puts a random coloured sqaure behind each icon, im sure you can edit those square to have what you want
Edit: Those bubbles are what is featured above
Thanks for the replies, the thing is I want this effect on the HTC Desire which I have installed a Sense ROM (Froyo) on.
I would rather not which to another ROM just to have squared backgrounds.
This is why a Launcher would be the perfect solution.
I think the touchwiz3.0 launcher wouldn't work on my ROM but I'll try!
EDIT: I tried the touchwiz and it works! But the "bubbles" only show in the app drawer.
Here's a *.png of a square I made.

download bettercut from the market, then download an iphone icon set from market and apply icons to whatever you want through bettercut.

That would leave me making icons for apps who don't have an iPhone icon.
I'm not looking for that kind of solution.
I want it to have a square behind every icon automatically so to speak.
The DELL tablet ROM and the MIUI ROM does exactly what I want but.
I looked to port it over but that wouldn't work as the whole thing is different.
I've been searching for the same thing, with no luck. The Touchwiz launcher only puts the icon backgrounds on the dock, like you said, and I can't find the modified launcher that the MyTouch 4G uses to put on my EVO.
I'm currently running MIUI, which is awesome, except my battery life is pretty terrible compared with the stock (or modified stock) Sense ROM.
I guess I'll keep searching, and if anyone has any more suggestions, please post them here.
ADWLauncher EX can do this. It's not free though. I am sure it is possible to code it into any Launcher, but how you do that is beyond my capabilities.

Cool. Thanks!
Awesome! Just bought it, now I'm downloading the latest EViO ROM and dumping MIUI- the random restarts (although seldom), the wifi drops, and the terrible battery life unfortunately outweigh the really nice UI.
Hi all,
Modded the Go Locker Four Key a bit... First time I do this so hopefully you like it and I didn't mess anything up
Background is like the background of the Redux2 notification/multitasking bar (very dark grey), highlight color changed from blue to orange which also goes well with the Go Launcher Transparency Skin for widgets
1) uninstall the Go Locker Four Key if you have it installed
2) install GoLockerRedux.apk
3) Enable "Go Locker Four Key" again
Note: you need to have Go Launcher and Go Locker installed off course.

Awesome! Would it be possible to change the action of the SMS to go to email instead? And the phone go browser? I am on a non-phone device and that would be awesome. Love the theme! Very good work on it.
I'm only a noob at this, so I'm afraid my knowledge doesn't reach that far, sorry
maybe someone else can help out with that...
Ok, thanks. Yours is still the best theme out there. And go locker released changeable wallpapers, so its even better!
nice bro.
thanks
Thanks, I really like this lock screen!
One question though, do you know by any chance how to make it into a 24h clock? I thought that maybe if there was an .xml file it could be modified, but I have no idea where it installs and I'm not sure it would work.
Any idea how to get it to run on a Samsung Galaxy S2? The easy way, uninstall stock Fourkey, copy GoLockerRedux.apk to sd-card, install via clicking, doesn't work. Installer stops without error message but 'Application not installed'.
Needless to say that I like your work. That's why I'm trying to get it installed.
Installed this no problem at all. Nice colour change.

hi,
I'm sorry, no idea what might be wrong... a couple of my colleagues installed it on different devices without any issue... no galaxy s2 though.
Have you disabled the lockscreen before uninstall?
cheers
b
I finally got it to work. Really nice theme, I'm quite happy with it. I just changed the clock's font to a one more fitting to my other screens.
Cheers
Toscha
how about using the theme wallpaper as locker background?
I like this theme very much, except it seems to be flashed when I touch the circle. Can you fix it?
nice
thanks
Hi. I'm using a GO Locker Theme called Mango. And I can set a custom wallpaper but when I slide to unlock a lock image appears. So where are the themes files (the path to them) so I can look and try to change it? Because I want my custom wallpaper all along...
I started using Go Launcher Ex about two weeks ago and pretty much like it. Previously, I've only used Sense.
I'm having trouble finding a widget or even a shortcut to toggle the 4G radio on and off. With HTC Sense, there was a shortcut that gave you access to almost any setting. I was able to put a shortcut to 4G on one of my screens.
But those HTC shortcuts and widgets are not available when you replace Sense as your launcher.
I've tried downloading a couple of 4G "Widgets" from the market, but so far all of the one's I've tried require using Sense or else they don't show up.
I tried the Go widget for Power, which has switches for WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, screen brightness, etc., but they don't seem to have anything for 4G.
Can anyone recommend a widget or shortcut? I'm running a stock EVO Rom 2.3, but with Go Launcher Ex.
Thanks.
Have you tried 4G Toggle4 for Evo? Says it works with 3rd party launchers.
i like widgetsoid. you can even set it to act like pcw.

Yes. It is installed. It does NOT show up under widgets.

I'm going to try it. Any idea what is the difference between Widgetsoid and Widgetsoid2? I don't see any mention of any differences in the Market.
Maybe this is an issue with just my phone. Widgetsoid is installed and not showing up under widgets either.
Well if it doesn't work out, ADW EX has 4G toggle, and it should be dropping down to 10 cents sometime soon with the 10 cent app promotion.
I figured it out. Widget 101: Do not install widgets to the SD card.
Duh.
I'm enjoying my N10 but randomly the size of my screen changes. Maybe it's not all that random because it happens when I change orientation BUT it's not consistent. I can get it back to the smaller image by turning the tablet around and opening and closing apps but it's pretty ridiculous and I'm inclined to ignore it but it surely isn't right. I don't seem to find a thread where anyone else is having this problem. I suppose if I changed to a pattern of snowflakes I might not notice it but the snowmen shouldn't be changing sizes. btw I am using ADW Launcher and hope that's not the problem becasue I like it's features.
Anyone?

I used to have the same problem with my nexus 7 and I was unrooted and completely stock running no launchers. So it's not that. But still... It's something lol.
try the app: "Simple Image Wallpaper"... after installation its not under the app drawer but is found by clicking and holding on the main screen, clicking wallpaper, and then selecting "Simple Image Wallpaper" and then just going through the settings. you can also have it change images for when you rotate it so you can have the snow one on landscape and a different one for portrait mode.

Excellent and thanks. The app actually installs under "live wallpapers". It took me a minute to find it.
I'm on my Rooted SM-N900W8 running Official Samsung 4.4.2 with various mods and this one issue is the only problem I've had with it. When I changed the DPI in Build.Props from stock 480 to "phablet" 320 I noticed some times on the lock screen is the AccuWeather widget that won't go away, I can turn the display off and back on and its gone, some times its not. I have already AccuWeather from the device so I don't understand where this widget is coming from or how to disable it?

Figured it out, the AccuWeather is integrated into the stock Samsung Clock they have for the lock screen, when you pull down on the lock screen clock widget, it expands into the AccuWeather widget, the only way was to remove it from the lock screen and find a new clock widget. Found a cool skin for UCCW that I'm using now. Everything is perfect again.
In short, to anyone else who is having this problem, which when I was searching, is quite a few people, you can NOT get rid of it and use the stock clock at the same time, you need to go to Settings, under the Device tab, go down to Lock Screen, and activate the switch for Multi widgets.
From there you can go back to your lock screen, pull down on the clock, long press on the clock/accuweather widget, move it up to the trash can and delete it from the lock screen never looking back. then click the box with the plus in it to add a new widget to the lock screen.
If you're like me and simplicity is key, then once you have your one widget picked, go back to settings, device, lock screen, and turn Multi widgets back off and you will have a lock screen you can't slide side to side with the new widget you picked and no AccuWeather.
I guess the reason it was coming up now is because I have the DPI set so high it's finding there is more room to run AccuWeather widget as if it's already pulled down so this problem was always there. I just didn't notice it until I change my DPI.
I hope this helps anyone else who has this problem, I know there's a lot of people out there because I found more threads of people with problems and not one solution that works. Mine works, but you can't use the nice simple off set clock from Samsung anymore which is kind of a shame, but the UCCW skins have thousands of good ones that are close enough for me.
