How do I get the actual gingerbread application "cube"?

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.

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.

It works, smooth and different with ICS/Honeycomb tablet style
Realtime pinch to zoom desktops
Nice colored folders
Resizable folders like in spb shell
Different icons choice came with theme
Weather and Note are not worth it, just get the 3 themes and either xhdpi or hdpi, they work the same.
I customized it, so therefore I like it.
Switched from Nova launcher.

Lock Screen Widget Cropping

I've searched everywhere for this but somehow can't find anybody else with the same problem.
My lockscreen clock widget keeps on cropping itself really badly when I unlock, like it's too big for the widget space.
Weird thing is I've tried wiping, and I've tried several different roms and kernels (PA, AOKP, Rasbean) but still the same issue. So lost as to why nobody else seems to be experiencing this. Screenshot below:

}
Anybody think of an explanation? It's doing my head in !

It is too big. Your font is way bigger then the standard font the clock widget was designed with. What's the mystery?

Why is it so big? Know of any way to change it? I've looked everywhere in my settings and searched all the internets.
Just don't understand how it still does it on all roms I use. Ahhhhh

Damn. That woman is fine.
That's all I have to add to this topic.

Unfortunately I can't help, but could you share your wallpaper?
And her name if you know it, I used to know it but I completely forgot

Have you tried removing the widget from the screen and adding it again?

[GUIDE] Launching the Multi-Control Panel with a single gesture WITHOUT Root!

For HTC One with firmware 4.2.2 or above, there is a very handy multi-control panel with can allow users enable and disable many features like Wifi, Data, Auto-rotation etc.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, the stupid Google UI design has made it very slow and complicated to launch the panel with 2 fingers simultaneously or swipe the notification bar down first and press the button to launch Control Panel.
Finally, I figured out a way to launch the Multi-control Panel instantly using one finer
It does NOT require root.
Here are the steps:
1. Download two apps at Google Play: "Nova Launcher" and "Swiping Home Button"
(The second app is a paid app, so you know it...)
2. Launch "Swiping Home Button and click "Binding"
3. You can customize your gesture here and personally I prefer to launch Control Panel by swiping up right (the one with Chinese word)
4. Click on the gesture you like and assign a shortcut to it. We are going to choose "App shortcut" here.
5. Choose "Nova Launcher"
6. Finally, choose "Extended Quick Settings"
You are DONE ! Enjoy the Multi-Control Panel instantly with one finger !

Hey Mate,
Does it mean that Nova Launcher has to be running at the background all times?

I really not sure. But I don't recognize any negative effect in terms of the phone's performance caused by this trick.

Yes. Also, Nova Launcher has gestures as well so I don't get the use of this.

Well, if you use this, then you can still use the Sense Launcher!

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?
