I have two questions I was hoping some people with stock android could help with:
1. How do you have a homescreen with no icons? I have my favorite apps in folders along the bottom so don't need anything else on the screen. If I try this, android deletes the page and uses my second page as the homescreen (full of widgets).
2. Does anyone know how to get more than 4 icons in the favorites along the bottom?
TIA

I want open this post to know what users want in iFonz 2.
You want bottom bar equal to iFonz 1 with icons or actual text menu?
Please reply this pool to have an idea of future development.
Bye
the programs are great!! what i could think of is to try to incorporate them as a today plugin like pointui or throttlelauncher etc.or at least a way to have it always open without access to the today screen like spbwatcher did for mobile shell for people who would like this to be their main interface without worrying about closing the app and reopening
as for the poll, i would say that an option to choose would please more people
I would love to have back the bottom row of icons from 1.0, I definetly prefer it to having a home screen. I makes it a more complete iphone clone for those of us with iphone envy who aren't on at&t
I agree. Icons are better.
I like the bottom button row more than the menu. But if you see a chance to give every user the option of choosing what he/she likes, this would be the best ever
Thx for your hard work.
I'd like nothing, or a switchable bottom bar. So i voted for configurable.
I use iFonz as launcher, so there's no need of a bottom bar if not to launch configurator or to minimize/shut down the app. But if you'll implement again gestures as in iFonz 1, i'll have definately no need of a bottom bar. Configurable, in my opinion, is better: who want it can have it, who don't can get rid of it.
Hi ssj5trunks,
I like and use both versions of iFonz on my LG KS20. Both work very stable.
I prefer the bottomiconbar cause all important apps are always available.
But as I like the idea of the homepage, I would like most if the homescreen would not be a separate page, but the first of the scrolling pages.
If this would slow down to much, maybe you could create an icontype "switch to homescreen/back" in oderer to swap between icons and homescreen.

I don't so
As above really -
Got a ton of icons on my storage card, but I have no idea how I can change the icons I'm currently using to the ones on the storage card. Or is it a lot more difficult than it sounds?

It IS possible, but I'll let one of the more experienced people here tell you exactly how (I'm not well-versed on the process.....yet).
But, in the meantime, would you be willing to zip up your icon collection and sharing it? I'm always looking for new icons to use...I can already replace them on the slider bar, next thing to learn is the program ones
Icons for Windows Mobile phone
Of course! I can't remember where I got them all - so I'm hoping the creators are happy for me to share them out.
536 icons in total (although there are a few duplicates - I mean 2 different icons for the same program).
Enjoy!
The question of how easy it is depends on which OS you're running... if it's 6.5 I recommend using JWMD's Icon Changer, but many recommend Showaco's reSTART. The 'how to' instructions for each app can be found in that thread I just linked.
If it's 6.1 it's more cumbersome as you have to edit the link. I don't bother with it and instead customize whatever shell I'm using at the time.
You're welcome to grab any of my folder icons listed in my sig
Thanks for the links!
Do these same programs change the icons on the home tab? I like the icons in my start menu, but the icons on the home tab are different for the same programs.
Has anyone figured out how to change the shortcuts along the bottom of the home screen?

You cannot not with the current version of Touchwiz for the EPIC. If you want to change it try other Launchers like Launcher PRO or ADW
Also this should be in the Q&A section
I cant post an image of my current homescreen because I can't post links yet.
I am creating a "hub" theme for my Iconia. I have screenshots of each page of the hub (home, web, news, mdeia, games) that I have turned in to picture frame widgets. Underneath each frame I used Minimalistic Text to create a link to each page using the method of stretching the MT over the corresponding launcher action (using ADW Ex).
What I want to know is is there a way to be able to link each picture frame to their corresponding page?? I would like to be able to press on either the screenshot preview OR the text to go to the hub page.
I have messed around with DVR and while I can create the actual icon, I can only link it to an app and not to the launcher action of "go to page ______".
If anyone knows a work around or programs that could facilitate this I would appreciate the insight.
ALSO!! I am looking for the Asus Mail Widget apk to complete my home hub. I am running Taboonay 2.1 right now and I don't wont to flash a different ROM to get it....ideas??
Thanks!!

Looks like you're using adw ex, so you can create the shortcut to the page you want and once its created, long press on the shortcut, select edit, and than press on the icon. This will allow you to select any picture you have on your device and use that picture instead of the default icon.
You may have to take some extra steps to get it setup how you want but this should get you in the right direction, I think you can figure out the rest . Oh and as a tip, I use the app "Simple Text" to create my icons. I just save the icon as a picture and than select it in adw. Not sure if the app your talking about lets you save the icon as a picture since I haven't used it. And I got a whole bunch of different text from a post (not sure if on here or not) that had a zip file download with 300+ different fonts.
For the mail widget, you can just pull the apk(s) out of a rom that has it and flash it to your tab. Or the taboonay kitchen may have it.
Thanks for your reply. I have used the method you are talking about the only problem is when I make the icons that way the end up being too small. And you cant stretch the icon.
I do use Simple Text for my icon replacements that you see. I have an invisible launcher action underneath each hub icon that takes me to the corresponding page. Was just hoping to do'the same with the smaller thumbnail previews....the invisible launcher icon method doesnt work for them!
Hi,
I have some icons in the startmenu (the bar where the menu button is) and when I go into the main menu, rotate the device and go back the the homescreen all my startmenu icons are collapsed in the bottom right corner. So I have to pick them and move them away. Icons on the homescreen are not affected. Just the ones next inside the startmenu. Is there a way to fix that without removing autorotation?
Thanks
Try another launcher like apex, go, nova...
