I find myself just using the main home screen and putting my icons there, but the other screens don't get used and are blank. If I want an app, I press the dots and flick through the launcher.
Is it just me?
I only use 3 of the screens. main one (centre), the left and right one. Other ones are empty.
3 here, I removed the other two using Helixlauncher2
I'm using all 5 and they are all full heh. I have different themes for each screen with most used apps + clock/weather on the middle screen, social networking widgets on one, utilities on one, fun on another and one with an agenda and some other stuff.
Not really hard to fill those screens up imo, but I guess other people actually use the app-drawer.
I use them all and kind of wish there were more. LOL like the poster above, each page has a specific "theme".

I use Helixlauncher and am using all 7 screens. Although I noticed that with all of the widgets I'm using, there is some lag once in a while, but it's more that it's not as smooth as the stock homescreens really.
I use each screen for different types of task.
My home screen has Calls, SMS, GMail and the Browser icons. First screen to the left has facebook and twitter widgets and the second screen to the left has tool apps like netcounter, task killer, astro file manager and the power widget.
First screen to the right is for media so I have the news widget, music, camera and gallery icons/widgets. The second right screen has apps I want to find quickly like torch, calculator, dictionary and a few games.
Scrolling up and down the app drawer seems like a pain to me

I do have the exact same layout!
3 screens, apps to the left, widgets to the right, and calling, text, emails, contacts center. Not ruling out using the far screens but have no need for them with my usage. There is still plenty of room on the inboard 3 for future additions.
3 screens only & using the Helix Launcher
Using 3 main screens loaded with apps & widgets.
all 5, but not all full. home screen has most apps, with phone, contacts, notes, task panel widget, car home, voice, gesture search, sms, settings and spare parts. left 1 is gmail and weather
left 2 is pandora and facebook.
right 1 is some games, system widget (sync, locale, wifi, bt)
right 2 is the calendar pad widget covering whole thing. i need to see whole month.

Same here. I have the calendar widget on my main screen, which takes up four "slots", and my most frequently used apps (mail, phone, camera, Twidroid etc.and a battery widget) One screen to the left I have other frequently used apps, two screens to the left I have the 4square widget. One screen to the right some frequently used widgets (like weather, Google Buzz and networks) ans two screens to the right: games.
I use 5 out of seven on my Desire ROM.
Center is most used apps plus weather clock.
To the right is two rows of apps. right of that is facebook and textsfromlastnight
the left of center is weather, but the expanded widget from sense
to the left of that is sticky notes and some media.
I am looking for a good simple calendar widget for my A500. I use launcher pro plus on my phone and I love the calendar widget on lpp but I don't want to use it on my tablet. Does anyone know of a simple but large calendar? The widget I need has to be at least 5x5 (ideally 7x7 or 8x8) and able to sync with my Google calendar. I don't mind paying a buck or two for it. I tried a few already but most of them look bad when resized to fit my screen. Can anyone help? Thanks
i use wizz and it's a ver good calendar widget.there is a widget for greader, Facebook, twitter....etc etc.
I reccomend Business Calendar app. Clean and functional.

I like wizz, but when the widget is resized, there is a blank space on the bottom

I tried Business Calendar app, and i LOVE it, however, when the widget is resized, it becomes blurry. using the actual app though, it looks amazing. but i cant use the blurry widget, it really bothers me.
currently, i am using this widget, but it is only 4x4 on my homescreen. i was hoping i could find one kind of like it that looks good when resized to 8x8
Take a look at Jorte Calendar, I am using it on my A500, it is a claendar app with widgets and it syncs with Google Calendar or the Jorte calendar. Will show either or, I used it with Google as I want to be the same on the laptop, phone, & tab.
I have a full month on the screen and I think it is 5x5 and there are other sizes too.
On my phone I have always used and liked Business Calendar but on the tab it just didn't make good use of the real estate available.
I mean those apps like SwipePad or WaveLauncher, that activate a bar/screen with shortcuts to some other apps, by swiping on some pre-defined section of the screen (while using any app). So far I have tried wavelauncher, swipepad, dock4droid. The first 2 are good, with wavelauncher being my favorite. Dock4droid is a little bit not for my taste.
So anyone know any other apps like that?
Im trying to use the KF to view pdf files and edit word files using QuickOffice Pro, but a good amount of space is taken up by the notification bar and the bottom buttons when in landscape mode. Is there any way to force apps like this and the browser app to go into full screen mode?
Also, is anyone running Dolphin Browser HD and does that work in full screen mode?
Edit: I'm not sure what I did but QuickOffice Pro is automatically going into full screen mode now when I rotate to landscape. Dolphin Browser also works in full screen mode and it's pretty awesome.
I would also like to know how to have the dolphin HD browser open in full screen without gesturing, just defaulting when opening. Thank u
For Firefox, there is a fullscreen plugin. There may be other plugins for other apps as well.
