Hey mates,
i have this friend (he's the typical iDork) who keeps annoying me with comments about how ugly he finds my homescreens...
i used to have only one scene (The Sense HD remix scene in minimal grey).
now i'd like to install launcher pro and make it look awesome, custom icons, everything designed as minimal as it gets.
only problem, every time i hit "home" my beloved desire asks me what homescreen it should return to. i know i can make it remember one of the two, but if i want to change then, i'd have to work through the settings and options...
so, here's my request:
a SIMPLE, SEXY WIDGET, that can instantly change the launcher assigned to the home button. i think it's not much work to do, if the API allows apps to change settings (not sure about that).
I'm a C++ programmer with zero experience in java, so i can't do it myself.
finally, i'd like to know how i can mod the launcher pro in the ways seen around on this forum (e.g. Mnml Icons as buttons etc.)
Thanks for your time,
Max
PS: does anyone know a widget for email/sms with a minimal style, such as Cal Widget with transparent background.
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > LauncherPro > Clear Defaults.
Do you need a widget for that? ..
this isn't my point
i want to be able to switch between two launchers FAST, so i have, let's say a private and a business launcher, one designed for usability, and the other for style.
i don't want to reassign the home button everytime i want to switch, thats why i wnat a widget, or a shortcut, which i just touch once.
but since it seems like i'm the only person here switching frequently between launchers, i guess i'll have to code something myself.
anyway, thx for your time.
Oh.
Not a bad idea.
Good luck.

There is an app on the market that can do that.

HomeSwitcher.
Works from 1.5 - 2.1, I think.
Certainly doesn't support 2.2

No,not home switcher. It was called easy switcher or something like that, can't say for sure. It supported widgets for quick switching also. I found several with similar function Launcher switcher/Home manager/, don't know if this one has widgets.
thanks mates,
homeswitcher does indeed not support android 2.2.
anyway, i found "Launcher Switcher" BUT:
- doesn't provide a widget
- sends me to the android settings screen, when i want to re-bind the home button
so, i stiiiiiiiiill haven't fouuuuuuuuund, what i'm looking foooooor....

It takes you straight to the current launcher info page where you press clear defaults, then press home and select the one you want. Its the best option atm.

Basically I'm looking for an app that has power controls in the notification bar. MIUI like. I know there are ROM's that have these included (MIUI, Cyanogen) but I don't really want to change ROM just for power controls. So is there any apps? Thanks.

Just search in the market for Power Controle Plus - by - Sirius Application Limited . It's very easy to set up .
I currently use ARHD 3.1.
I chose it because it has sense; whilst i dont use the sense launcher there are 3 things that i find invaluable...
1. The app switching from the status bar.
2. The cut/copy/paste implementation and the text selection implementation.
3. HTC sense facebook integration; Mainly the great integration into the UI. Big profile pics etc.
How does CM7 match up in this regard?
Also, is the CM7 kernel up to scratch? Full 3d support etc?
Cheers
1: There is no app switching in the status bar, but if you hold down the home button, it shows your recent apps; you can also choose how many are displayed. In the pulldown bar, there is power control widgets, such as Wifi, Brightness.. etc.
2: CM7 is built on android 2.3, and a very similar cut copy paste integration has been included.
3: If you mean the Caller ID, there is nothing similar included, but when you log into the Facebook app you can choose to sync contact details. If you purchase Launcher Pro Plus, there is a facebook/friendstream widget which works almost identically to the HTC one, if you don't want to but that however, you can use ADW launcher and download the Colourize Widgets from the Market.
Regarding the kernel, if you use one of these ROM's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905530 They are quick and stable and the 3d works just fine
And always do a nandroid, so it can go back to the Sense rom, in about 5 minutes if you don't like it.
On one of my screens i have widget which today started crashing Sense..
What i mean is everytime i switch to that screen sense crashes...
On that screen i have:
- Power Amp Widget
- Battery Monitor Widget
- Android Assistant Quick Boost Widget
- HTC Sync All Widget
- Power Controll Widget
How to remove a widget without going on to that screen..
You will probably say "uninstall that wigget/app" but what if it is HTC Sync All Widget (only one i can see on all screens preview (Home button))
Could create another blank screen and work through adding each widget until you get an issue. Once identified you can work out how to fix the problem

Ill have to use one of my other screens as cant add extra one on ARHD (i think)
None of them on new screen causes Sense to crash... :/
Uninstalled everything except Power Controll and Sync All as I cant nothing changed...
Now I only hope my yesterdays backup will work..
Had to restore backup...
hi, im using cm10.1 and i want one thing , expanded desktop widget so i will not use power button , if somone can make this it will be great app
