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.

Is there an app or something where I can change the order of my applications on my Desire? At the moment they are sorted alphabetically but I wish to sort them in the order I want.
Is this possible?
Also, is it possible I can change the applications screen so there are pages where I can slide left to right instead of just one page where I slide up and down?
Thanks.
I would love a launcher with the "drawers" from iOS4, so you could have games in one, settings and tools in one, and media apps in another..

Btw, i don't care much for iOS, so don't flame me for posting a screen from it.

There's a home app called iHome. Pretty much an iPhone rip, but has some pretty good screen anims.
Or, get an iPhone 4?

this not a launcher but "apps organizer" does exactly what that screenie shows
Thanks will take a look.
Apps Organizer doesn't offer what the OP asked, only what the second poster asked for (I use it).
I've also been looking for being able to rearrange the app order for months.

woops my bad... some reason my eyes just drifted to the massive picture XD >.< sry about that
I hate the icons that motoblur uses for the stock apps on the phone (camera, dialer, browser, etc.). I have been searching all over for a solution but cant find anything. I'm using Launcher Pro Plus and want to know how I can change the icons that show up in the app drawer to the stock Froyo icons. Thanks!
you can probably download a theme icon pack for lp+
at least on adw that's what i can do..
Go Launcher let u change it with ease

root your phone, download ninjamorph, load up blur-res.apk, find ic_launcher_(app you want to replace).png from an AOSP rom and use it to replace the one in blur-res.apk in ninjamorph. finish project. done.

it's real simple. find some icons you like and place them on your sdcard. On your homescreen (if you are using Launcher Pro), long press a blank area, and choose "Shortcuts". then, at the top of that screen, choose "Applications". Once you find your application (say Maps), then click the old icon above the app name and you can browser your gallery app for a replacement icon. click the icon you want to use as a replacement then click ok. now you have a different icon for that app on your homescreen. This is the easiest way to do it without editing your framework-res files, etc. NOTE: this only changes the icon on the homescreen, it will still be the original icon in the app drawer. It takes a bit of time to do this, but well worth it IMO.
EDIT: I just re-read your OP, this won't change the icon in the app drawer, only the homescreen... [/facepalm]

I have disabled twlauncher and am currently running the stock gingerbread launcher. The applications menu is still the same as it was on ec05 and not that "cube" application selection layout i am seeing on other gingerbread devices. How can i get that menu? its so amazing.
I hope you guys know what im talking about....

I don't think it is possible on the Epic without a hack or custom rom. On that note I highly recommend a 3rd party launcher such as Go Launcher, ADW or LauncherPro as they all have a 3D option for the app drawer. I personally use Go Launcher.

you could use this home app from the market.. https://market.android.com/details?...tb28uYW5kcm9pZC5sYXVuY2hlci5naW5nZXJicmVhZCJd
Correct me if I'm wrong but, I think maybe he's refering to the Cube homescreen not the App drawer.
That launcher is SPB 3D launcher and is a paid app in the market. Spinning 3d homescreens on a cube or as many sides as you have homescreens.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Actually I think he is referring to the 3d app drawer, which I think was the standard for the gingerbread launcher. the problem is that I think touchwiz breaks this and disables parts of the actual gingerbread launcher.

I couldn't for the life of me find that thumbtack icon / button which is suppose to be next to the X on the Top of the Action Memo. This will help me put them up on a screen as a widget. check the third image to the right. Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, I'd love to just go to one of my screens and just start writing. But I can't find that thumbtack button. Here, i found a better picture. Do you see it on yours?
Nope, weird. Closest is long pressing the note within SNote and it gives me an option to send to home as a shortcut...but no pin.
I just saw a similar post in another thread... are you using the stock TW launcher? If you are using a replacemnet launcher like Nova, or Google now Launcher, you will lose the thumtack pin feature in action note. Action notess can only be put onto a TW homescreen.
Doesn't work on default launcher either just tried.

Yeah, that's what I thought it was before I posted this thread. Unfortunately, that darn button won't show up in stock launcher either. I'm thinking it's a different apk??
Maybe ? My Tmo firmware update already hit soon as I turned on don't know if it was there prior.
Ok I got it. From reading a similar thread, they're saying you need a reboot for the pin to show once you switch to touchwiz. I did not do the reboot so it was still missing even with touchwiz.
I'm also going to let nova launcher devs know this issue so they can fix it. For now I'm just going to use the action memo in the minimized form.
Did you get an answer from them?
Figured I would create a thread here so that we don't clog up the main thread but think it would be helpful for people to get examples of what people are running. I always feel like I am not getting the most out it just because there are so many possibilities. I know my situation is different since I am running 2 units but here is what I have currently running, I think I am going to change the navigation to one of the other options because it annoys me how much the location jumps around while sitting still and haven't seen any 3D recently to make it worthwhile

Just downloaded FCC Launcher, and having tried most of the other launchers out there, for me, it is the best one! Currently creating my screens, so will post an image when done. Can't seem to upgrade to the premium version, though.

Were you able to get it upgraded? I love the launcher as well, almost like there are too many options for it

Yes, I had to uninstall, redownload and re-install, and it then worked. You are right; there are so many options. I had my screen all set and ready to take a pic, and then the media player widget stopped showing artwork and track names from DAB-Z. I will get it fixed and then upload an image.
