Thanks alot =)
it looks amazing.

Great tutorial James, thanks. By the way, would you happen to know how to change the overscroll effect from the blue glow to the bounce effect?

Not sure.

Hey, i'm not sure on how to do this exactly. I'm pretty sure it's hard coded into an apps menu:

@James Harrison

ADW EX Launcher with Multi Picture Live Wallpaper.

Great vid, now I have this to add to my project list for the week. I need to go from android newb to pro with a rooted phone with updated kernel and a custom launcher set up.

Fabulous tutorial. When I get my note Ill try not to mess up what you instructed.
One question though. With the 3d UI can I use live/active wallpapers (the ones that move like the moving galaxy) instead of pictures?

Static

Hi, unfortunately it's only static wallpapers i'm afraid

Static screen problem
This question is for James, I presume, the maker of this tutorial. I've followed all your steps for the 3D UI, but, for some reason, the picture is staying static, there is no cube effect when I scroll screens, and yes, screen scrolling is enabled on AWD Ex. Help? =/

Did you enable the transition effects in Multi picture live wallpaper as well?
For me it works perfectly on Go Launcher Ex. I sat the transition there as well to outside cube.

Brilliant tutorial mate, loved the UI and some really cool apps as well... will def me downloading some of them...

That launcher is excellent. Just a shame you can't use HTC widgets with it
Yer looks nice,
shame only 3 screens instead of normal 7.
Plus yer same cant use htc widgets.
Love the bottom short cuts though.
You can have 7 homescreens, actually. You just have to change a setting. I've been using it for a while now and I prefer it to HTC's launcher. I don't even miss the HTC widgets!
yeah you can deffo have 7 screens if you want. personally i feel 5 is enough but its there if you need em
Thanks for the link to the Mario wallpaper, very nice!

Something I did from scratch. Icons are from dreamflye (or how ever its spelled). I was inspired by his dock, I liked it but it didn't fit what I was going for. So I did my own. I've been toying with releasing it.

Yeah dude...you should release it. If noone else uses it...I sure will!

PM me your contact info and your color preference and I will send it to you. I can't really send the icons yet because they are not my work, but I will be doing some of my own in the future (text icons are easy). I can maybe do a small request of icons if you let me know.
I am working on getting the some variations done before I release it (Tab on left, right, or center). I kind of want to release a bunch of variations so people can pick what they like. And I probably need to do some icons (at least the basics).

Hey faceless, you wanna' post your dock icons? I like the extended right tab a lot (and I'm also too lazy to make my own unless I really have to )

It's ok, I still prefer the Arc and Launcher Pro.
Thx man! just tried it out. I like it. Screenshots are also availabe on the market In order to find it easier - the correct name is "balancer launcher"

Thx looks better with the transparency now. The last one got after rotation the phone with ticked option: "customization/senzor rotation"
The most interesting part is built-in File explorer...

tried it..pretty good...but i'd prefer the followong in the order mentioned..
1.Arc (stylish )
2.ADW (very custimizable)
3. Launcher Pro (smooth)
4. Balancer (maybe )

i guess some of its just down to personal preferance, personally i think adw and launcher pro are abit old looking even with themes. i wouldnt even class arc launcher as its just a transparent app tray...android ui needs a makeover imho anyways and the balance launcher just brings something abit different to the table
You guys should try Go Launcher..

i like it the built in task killer works great! but the app tray scrollin is very lagy for me
it`s very slow, for me adw launcher ex is the fastest and i have no problems with it
same here with adw launcher ex......my favorite..
Tried most, still prefer adw ex. Have to admit Go Launcher Ex is getting close though.

[Q] What is this and where can I get it???

Wow.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QHhFR-puEo
Why is my HD2 not this cool???
definitely interested in knowing!
...looks really amazing. Would like to try this new UI too. But didn't find any information over it, what launcher this could be.
Hope someone can enlighten us very soon
I'm guessing it's a combination of stuff, and not actually made into a rom.
For example, https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture&feature=search_result and https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free
This 3d efffect he uses in his video you can get if you use "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper" as already posted in combination with e.g launcher pro.
in multipicture live wallpaper you have to use:
- transition type: 3D Rotation
in lauchner pro:
- preferences->homescreen settings->transition effect: Flip2
also ensure, that you have:
- preferences->Appearance settings->Disable wallpaper scrolling: unchecked
For users that want to use their device in landscape only this is a very nice combination..in portrait it looks very awful in my opinion
WOW

Haha that's 100% correct, you xda guys sure are on the ball!! ..except I used AWD EX launcher the task bar at the bottom/ swipe hiding was built into CM7, btw do you guys know how to get an "app organizer" that organizes in categories IN the actual app scrolling menu? That's the last bit of my 100% customization missing

I think the closest you'll get to actual app drawer organizing would be to sort the apps in groups on ADW launcher. It has the option to create and edit groups in the app drawer, and choose which one to view. I've never seen anything that allows you to put your apps into folders within the app drawer, which has never made sense to me since it would be so much more convenient. Thats the one thing that WM still has over Android imo.
wow, very nice that
What music player is that? It looks pretty cool.

With this drawer you can create folders.
