Hi. When browsing the net with the stock browser undocked, I am a fan of the labs feature 'quick controls'. However, when I dock my TF I prefer the standard address bar & tabs layout because its so much easier to use with the touchpad. I was wondering whether it would be possible to develop something that would recognise this and change it as it's docked and undocked? Thanks.

Is there an app/widget that will auto-hide the dock like the Windows taksbar that will either work in conjunction with LauncherPro or have its own dock?
Im not looking to use that empty space or put more icons there.
I just want the dock to be hidden until I make a gesture or "mouse" over it. Then it will pop up and return to its normal location. Much like how you can have it in windows (taskbar).
Im not looking for extra functionality. Just something to display more of the background.
Thanks in advance.
If it's like ADW it will have the feature already built in.
Thanks!
ADW was exactly what i was looking for.
allows you to hide/show the dock with a up/down gesture. same with the taskbar.
sweet!
Hi,
is it possible to switch the desktops in Honeycomb 3.0, as it is possible in Froyo / Gingerbread, by putting the finger a few seconds on it, and then moving it ?
Thanks
Nico
You means flinging left and right to more screens? If so, yes.
Hi
Thanks for the answer, but it's not my question;
If I have a desktop A and another desktop B on the right of A, what I would like to do is to invert A and B, to invert desktops whithout having to do it manually (move apps icons one by one on the other desktop)
Thanks
Nico
Then try asking more clearly. Still not sure 100% what you mean. If you mean dragging widgets and icons from screen to screen, then yes its still there. If you mean moving ALL the widgets and icons from one screen to another in a single operation, then Froyo and GB can't do that either. Or rather, I've never seen a device ROM which does.
hum ok... I'll try to be more clear:
I've got an HTC Desire HD (running Sense). On it, they are a few desktops available, where I can put all my icons/widgets, ... And whenever I want, I'm able to reorganize the desktops, so taking A to be on right of C instead of near B, and so on...
Let's take some exemple :
desktop A - desktop B - desktop C - desktop D - desktop E
=> on the smartphone I can switch desktop C and desktop D.
like that :
desktop A - desktop B - desktop D - desktop C - desktop E
and so, I do not have to move manually all icons that are on desktop C to desktop D, and same thing in the other side (destop D icons moving to desktop C);
That's what I would like to do on Honeycomb.
Hoping it is more clear...
Thanks
Nico
Ah! I see what you mean now, you want to reorganize the order of your separate homescreens.
I think that's a Sense feature and isn't incorporated in Android, any version, as standard.
yes, that's it !!!
ok... so I'll post another topics, in order to see what alternative launcher I could use to be able to do that
Thanks
Nico

Been a while since I used it, but I think Launcher Pro has that feature. Not sure if it's any good on Honeycomb, though.
alternative launcher
A home launcher does this. But don't know if works for honeycomb.most should have this feature
LauncherPro does work, but (in my opinion) it looks pretty awful on a big screen.

I like to use the stock Android browser because I can do the split screen thing. Problem is, the default settings take up way too much space for the URL bar, menu bar, etc and leaves less room for actual browser content. Is there some way to change to a more compact theme?
settings - labs - first checkbox
(or you could try dolphin browser)
Thanks!!

I like Chrome, but I think it's laggy compared to stock browser.
With some editing you can make any browser run in multi window. Search XDA.
When I switch on - it always goes to my library page.
How does one change the default home screen? I haven't found it.
Also - I would love to find a way to change the location of the three menu keys.
I'd really like to be able to browse in landscape mode but to have those keys along the right side of the screen.
There are 5 desktop screens, the third one (ie the middle one) is "home". So just move the library widgets to another screen and put whatever widgets you want on your home screen.
Regarding moving the 3 soft keys, no way to do that in stock jelly bean as far as I know,I think you have to be rooted.

Thanks for this. I was hoping there would be a way to designate the home screen as with the S3
Nova Launcher from the Play Store allows customizations, including how number of desktop screens and which is the default. Plus a lot of other features. No root required.

I really like the look and feel of Ubuntu tablet. Specifically the large desktop. I hate the limited space on my nexus 10. It makes sense on a phone but I wish I could scroll like on a PC or Ubuntu when using a larger screen.
Anyone know if there's anything out there that resembles the Ubuntu desktop. I like stock jelly bean. This is just one of a couple of things that bugs me.

I haven't heard of any projects like this, which is I think why Ubuntu started developing Ubuntu Mobile.

I also like a full desktop and use the following products to acheive that and also keep quick access to notifications and menu bar functionality.
full!screen - Hides both the notification and menu bars. You set a button (can be invisible), in one of the four screen corners, which has the ability to pop-up the notifications and other functions with a long press such as a last apps list. I liked this app so much that purchased fullscreen+ eventhough I do not use any of the enhanced features.
LMT - The PIE feature adds an autohide user definable menu where I have the menu bar navigation actions and a number of quick launch apps plus other functionality. This is a free app on XDA. Make sure to read the post's "Commands" documentation as it will help you understand how to get the most out of PIE . You access PIE on one side pf the screen or the other.
You need to be rooted but those apps work very well on Stock 4.2.2.

Sidebar pro, lmt launcher, and a ROM that can hide the status bar or an app like the one the user above told you. You can find all those apks on the googleplay or on the forum of xda.
Greetings.
Glovebox is an app that adds a shortcut bar that pops out from the side of your screen like Ubuntu Touch has.
If you have rooted device you can now hide soft keys (and keep notification bar) without modifications and reboots. Just try my new app:
GMD Hide Soft Keys
It also adds Quick NavBar - soft keys that can be opened with simple swipe from bottom and then autohide when not needed.
