Quick questions:
Is it customizable?

Doesn't seem to work very well on Diamond... when I do a restart it pop ups when I'm typing my Pin code... and then The icon is hiding 'behind' TouchFlo .. so I cant get to it... and nothing happens when I try to start it in the Start menu...
And I cant chose any alarm sounds....
Anyone else having problems with Diamond and SpoonAlarm?

ok
on ie not see the image but i can download it.
testing....
thanks

Ironically, I never heard of this program until yesterday and downloaded the previous version yesterday. It seemed call but it kept going off every 3 minutes. I said dismiss but it just kept going off so I uninstalled it. But it keeps going off, even though it's uninstalled. Thankfully it stopped for now, but I think it may happen again. How can it keep going if I uninstalled it?

Nice but I don't like the tray item. When launching the app for the second time it won't show up, you have to use the tray item. I use Throttle Launcher so the tray is hidden, which makes the app quite unusable.

SpoonAlarm 2.0
I think there are some issues with Diamond, a friend of mine already reported it's not working very well for him too.
I will check it out and try to fix the problem.
Can you explain the tray icon problem please?
Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback,
I thought people will actually like the tray icon...
Any suggestions how I can enable easy access to it without the tray?

Have a way to link it to the taskbar clock, or the user can create a shortcut in whatever launcher they use.

Thanks.
So I think what I will do is to give it as optional configuration.
Will update you as soon as it is fixed.
Gil.

I too hadn't heard about your program until today - and it seems great, except for the tray icon...
There are many places you can allow the user to place the icon:
Tray
Control Panel
Start Menu Panel (main)
Start Menu -> Programs
If you could create an option to allow the user to create a quick access shortcut in one or more of those locations, then I think you'll probably make everyone's day.
Other than that, the application looks much nicer and more powerful than the default WM clock/alarm utility. Great job!

Looks good , like to see the update with a short cut to. Thanks for your hard work .

Possible to set multiple alarms ?

Not working
I was looking forward to this program but it doesn't work for me.
a- I can't use the tray icon. I NEVER look at the today screen.
b- I can't select an MP3. It doesn't show any.
I need to be able to run it from a shortcut.
I am hoping it will work soon. I'll even donate $10 if it works.
Thanks,
Jeannette

Currently the default one does and any alternate alarm program I get must at bare minimum, have teh same features as the default alarm, plus of course the addition creature features. So multi alarm would have to be there in order for me to use it.
I am happy with the default alarm to be honest. My ONLY grief is the lack of MP3 support for setting the alarm sounds. The SpoonAlarm looks good but if teh curently functionality is missing at all then it does me no good and I will stick with the default alarm. I just have to convert MP3 sounds to wave and make sure they are in the windows folder, a pain but it works.

Is there a way SpoonAlarm can map to the alarm icon (next to the clock) in HTCHome? Looks like a good basic alarm app though. A lot of these alarm apps have horrible looking UI's with non touch friendly interfaces.

yrgo 2.3 beta 4

Hi all,
the new beta version of yrgo (2.3 beta 4) is prepared and has lot of new stuff. I'd be glad if you give me the feedback.

}
Notice that Default desktops settings probably doesn't fit to any other then 320x240 screens. It is beta so I haven't focus on this yet.
Almost 100% support of all possible resolutions (including VGA, Touch HD resolution, etc.). There are a few situations where yrgo will not drawn everything correctly.
Multilanguage support - I'll provide the translation tool soon on my forum.
Improved graphical rendering. Animations and scrolling should be faster.
New headline in menus showing clock, battery and signal level.
Today plug-in Gadget: ability to Share one instance of the plugin on several desktops - this repairs bugs with some plugins that weren't able to show correctly on several desktops (or in portrait and landscape mode). You can even set the size of the Today Plugin Gadget (some Today Plugins doesn't support resizing correctly).
New Desktop switcher gadget - in Design mode you can set an icon to every desktop in yrgo. This icon is then used with Desktop switcher gadget.
New Volume gadget - it currently doesn't show the Volume state (on, off, vibrate) - will be implemented later.
New Gadgets using actions history: Most used actions, Most used settings, Most used applications, Most used calls, Most written SMSes
Gadget clock allows to show digital clock using fancy pictures - just set clock to digital and then to "Graphical clock"
Gadget Date - you can set the format of the date using the same parameters as you use them in Regional settings.
Small information panel when yrgo is processing action that take more time.
Added shadow to the texts
New color themes
The list items can be again controlled by the keyboard
More smart installer - the installation is finished when run yrgo first - after that some unnecessary files are deleted so the yrgo takes less space on your PDA.
Repaired bug - in VGA mode the Gadgets in design mode drew an trail while moving them.
Repaired bug - the Gadgets were rearranged when trying to change landscape/portrait mode and using Non-FullScreen mode.
Repaired bug - sometimes yrgo catches "fake" clicks when accessing the context menu.
There were some another changes but I just forgot on them ;-).
Enjoy and let me know.
The downloadable zip can be found here.
Thank you.
Regards,
Luky

Hi nickytheshaft,
that's exactly what I meant by this claim:
"Notice that Default desktops settings probably doesn't fit to any other then 320x240 screens. It is beta so I haven't focus on this yet."
But you can easily switch yrgo to the Design mode and redesign all the items in any way you want. Check the video on www.2daysoft.com

Guys,
I know about this bug but do not forget that you can completely redesign any of all 64 desktops! Just switch to the design mode (tap and hold anywhere on the desktop) and then you can move, delete, add or modify any gadget on the desktop.
Check video on www.2daysoft.com how it works. Thanks.

Hmmm...
Is this really a beta?
If so how and why does one unlock it?

Hi,
yes, it is a beta version - that means it is not version officially presented on my website or offered on various download servers.
yrgo is shareware - it works with limitations without purchasing a registration key. And the same condition is valid for the beta versions. The users that has already bought yrgo are able to unlock beta version with their registration key, but without this key, you cannot unlock it.

Invisible Homescreen Icons (Tips/Tricks)

As a N1 user who prefers the clean look, I thought I'd post a quick tutorial for achieving invisible icons on your homescreen. I currently use 2 invisible icons on my primary homescreen, one for the camera, and one for a direct dial to my significant other.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After setting up homescreen to my perfect specifications, I realized I wanted quick access to the person I call the most as well as to the camera, without cluttering the screen further. Using BetterCut, I was able to find a solution rather quickly...
Bettercut is a paid app available in Android market, although I am sure there are alternatives for achieving custom icons. This tutorial will focus on BetterCut exclusivly.
*It should be noted I am currently using ADW Launcher, which allows you to remove the labels of icons on your homescreen. This ability is key, and is avaiable in several 3rd party launchers
For Camera or any other App
1. Download a blank .png image.
I've included one in this thread, or you can just google "blank png"
2.Open BetterCut by long-pressing on your homescreen, selecting Shortcuts, then BetterCut.
3. Select Activity, followed by the App which you want to open.
4.Choose the option to Change Icon, and pick the picture of the blank .png in your gallery. The Create.
5. You should recieve notification your shortcut was created, but obviously you shouldn't see anything different on your screen. Move your trackball around to bring up the selector and find your invisible icon. Press and hold, and then drag to the desired location.
DONE!
For a contact (Direct Dial or Direct Message)
1. Download a blank .png image.
I've included one in this thread, or you can just google "blank png"
2.Open BetterCut by long-pressing on your homescreen, selecting Shortcuts, then BetterCut.
3. Choose Other Available Shortcut, then either Direct Dial or Direct Message. Using BetterCut's built in Direct Dial or Direct Message will result in your icon having a white frame with an identifier. Use Android's built in Direct Dial instead.
4. Select your contact's specific entry.
5. Choose the option to Change Icon, and pick the picture of the blank .png in your gallery. The Create.
6. You should recieve notification your shortcut was created, but obviously you shouldn't see anything different on your screen. Move your trackball around to bring up the selector and find your invisible icon. Press and hold, and then drag to the desired location.
That's it. You can now access your chosen App or Contact directly from your homescreen, without cluttering it with more icons! Just remember it's there or this tip will have very limited functionality
Thanks for reading, any feedback would be appreciated.

The widget is called SwitchPro, available in the Market.

The invisible icons are on the homescreen where no widgets or icons exist. The screencaps show where the icon is located, before and after using the trackball to select it. Obviously you can just press in that area and the "invisible" icon will be selected.

show off your in car nexus 7 2013 home screen.

I want to start a thread to see how everyone is setting up their in car home screens. looking at others home screens may help give ideas to other forum members whom are not satisfied with their current setup. Please give detail such as what launcher plus any widgets, apps, or tasks you may be using.

I saw yours and I like how simple it is. Is there any way you can pm me your zw file for the home Screen.
I was also looking at digital car. It's a nice interface but this is Still in alpha, so some features do not function, the way I would like them to. .

I am working on a file that includes all of the apps and icons that people would generally use. I should start a thread seeing what apps people mostly use during the car installation. I like how simple it is, and it would be cool if i can find a way to scroll to a different setup with different apps.

It would be interesting to have certain "buttons" to show a popup, probably can do that via popup widget and zooper. it would be nice to able to press another buttkn and switch to a dedicated "homescreen, with apps for that particular function. For example, if I press map, it shows a window with waze and the other side a larger compass and a minutes til hom /work widget, or if I press music it takes me to a page that has my music app (musix) and on the side a visualizer of sorts Or a scrollable music library which will play a song if it is selected. And with the changing home screen the wallpaper changes along with it. It would even be cool to have something like aviate app from yahoo that changes with the time of day or even the weather. Just brainstorming.
I know there is a general thread on in car installs but it goes between 2 devices with different hardwares And different roms/options available But a dedicated thread of apps and widgets or an all around theme will probably be beneficial to all since most the time they are both interchangeable.

I wish i was better at coding and app development because i think it would be cool to implement such a theme or app like this, users could choose color schemes crop their own logos, choose what apps to run. And it would create an overlay for them.

My tablet was out of service...I somehow fried the motherboard with a faulty OTG cable. Thought I'd update on how the home screen looks. Still have not installed it into the car.

Can you tell me what that top left widget is? How did you make this home screen? What launcher is this?

onepuff, what theme is that? I like it. cookie are those physical buttons at the bottom or screen buttons? I am starting to miss forward/back especially when I want to change a song and I don't have pandora in the forefront.
Dave

It's just a wallpaper with transparent Zooper widgets. Same guy that did the one in OP's post did the main design. I just played with it in photoshop. He had some icons for things. I just made text for everything to make it simpler for me to change.

Recent apps

Anybody managed to push a recent apps switcher to the shield and have it functional? Or is there one I just can't access built in? Like... Leanback is cool and all but it makes for a terrible recent apps switcher. Also, anybody have a tasker profile to launch an app on double tap off home our like on f2 press of keyboard or something. I'm amazed I can't find anything about this.

I was a little annoyed when I couldn't find it. It's there though. I'm using LMT Pie Controls and Nova Launcher mostly but OmniSwitcher is working too if installed as priv-app. To find the recent app switcher you need to go to Shortcuts>Activities>SystemUI>Overview.recent.RecentsActivity You can set a button on the LMT launcher to access it because its a little pointless to have to return to homescreen in order to launch it, but yea it works pretty much the same as regular

pie only. Havnt tried it with gestures and isas. I imagine it might make navigation a little more cumbersome than it already is. I forgot, that to get that shortcut to show in LMT I needed to set the button to "trigger a shortcut" and then chose "Activities" with the Nova Icon next to it then following the path i wrote earlier. I imagine that there are other apps that you can use to launch activities (AnyCut maybe) if you dont wanna install another launcher. Anyways the recents switcher is part of SystemUI so there is probably more ways to get to it and like I said OmniSwitcher working too. Screenshots...
