dxTop, aHome, or Open Home? Which To Choose!
Alright well, I've been messing around with all 3 since their appearances in the market, but yet to pick up a copy of a full version yet before I pick one to stick with.
dxTop:
- I like the idea of how the screens move, but I do really like the idea of static pages.
- Can't really use skins on them yet, so that's another deterrent.
- Supports icons with bettercut
aHome:
- I do like its widget styles, but it has no support with bettercut, so thats my number one con.
- I like the idea of up to 10 screens, but as of right now it doesn't arrange icons automatically, so when you download new apps they will be out of place...screw reorganized 50 icons just to get 1 in there.
Open Home:
- Now this one I'm really starting to like. They give a simple way to install some of the greatest themes from our beloved developers here at xda, and my favorite, mannyb
- Has 6 screens (and im going to guess that an option will be added later on to include more)
- Has auto-rotate enabled by default, another nice addition.
- supports bettercut
As of right now I'm for Open Home, even though its only in beta right now so I'm excited to see the additions of the pro version. What are the rest of your thoughts? Maybe some of you know more about some of these apps if you're running the pro/paid version.
I have paid for 2 and ran all 3, open home all the way man! They have done it the right way, 6 screens, numbered, skins by theme developers on xda and bettercut! Oh and it remembers which screen you set as main one. For instance i set all my main icons-apps and clock on screen 2 and every time i leave it on screen 2 to go browse when i come back to home goes right back to screen i had left it on. So as far as wallpaper is concerned works perfectly, simply pick which screen wallpaper looks best on and make it your home page. Plus no scrolling up and down just side to side, auto rotate.

Well I'm with ya man, open home all the way thus far. How did you set the "home" screen number? Mine was just 2 by default, how do I change it? I didn't really see a preference or option for it.
Ok edit i see what people are saying in market, it should have option to save a certain page as main. Mine started on 2 when i rebooted, kind of annoying not to be able to set main page as wallpaper looks funky on page 2. Have you been able to change icons with bettercut successfully yet? When im using open home it just deletes icons doesnt change them
I just got the new update, noticed they have 7 screens now, and my default is 4 now (middle). Booyah, just what I was looking for
Hell yeah me too, this is awesome!!!
So open home is all side scrolling? No up & down like dxtop? And it allows you to set which screen is the home screen?

I'm not sure about setting the home screen, by default now it is the middle screen. I don't know about changing it.
Its side scolling, they set screen 4 as default so now there is a fixed default screen. If your on screen 7 and want to go back to main u swipe up or down and it goes back to main. Im talking with author about bettercut it seems to delete icons when u try and change them with open home
open home "lite" means demo or just light?
After reading this thread I immediately decided to try it. It is not bad, but the "themes" are misleading. The only thing that gets themed is the app drawer handle, and widgets (clock and search). I was hoping for a notification theme without a flash. I will see how this app progresses and keep it in mind with the other 2 home screen replacements.
Dxtop : that tab bar just the reason make me not using it.
Open home : Like the idea but the theme? cmon u can change the top bar, which is the main idea.
So im going with Ahome. i personnally like it, love the dock, and not seeing the tab bar is the deal for me. (I dont use alot of app so it a very good idea for me)
Well seriously, i think here is the perfect app for homescreen :
- 4 screen, diamond shape ( similar to Dxtop )
- No tab bar, but u still can go to tab bar by the original way (pull up from the bottom) u just dont see the bar thingy anymore.
- Both widget from ahome + dxtop put together and have to be free
- "iphone style" dock, for 4 app (similar to ahome)
- Work with bettercut!
If there is the app like this, i willing to pay up to 15$ for it for real even that is alot money for me lol

Haha, that's funny because the absense of the app drawer is the dealbreaker for me!
I have like 60 apps installed because I symlinked /data/app so it's near impossible to find what I'm looking for. I think that they should make the app drawer still there, but invisible like some of the themes here.
I LOVE Open Home. I have tried all 3. dxTop is alright. I tried it when it was in demo (when if first came out) but it was too confusing. Plus I worked really hard to find the theme that I really liked (fade to blue). aHome was alright... but I have over 150 apps installed so that was an issue. Open Home is perfect because it's simple that expands the 3 screens to 7 and supports the hard work of the theme developers. Let's be honest. I would be a little upset if I worked for countless hours to develop an awsome theme lke fadetoblue so an "perfect" home screen substitute can come along that everyone downloads and find that no one uses the theme anymore. Kudos to the developer! Now let's see some widgets!
Maybe just a thought for the developer though. I would like it if it could go from screen 7 back to 1 by going right. 1>2>3>4>5>6>7>1>2>... etc. Just a thought.
i think i prefer dxtop- i like being only 1 swipe/action away from any screen. i have tried open home and would like it more if there was a shortcut to jump to certain screens. i think 7 would get to confusing remembering where i was and where i was going....
i think there is a place for all 3- they r all different enough to each have their own following and be successful.
aHome for me....i love the feature of your top 4 apps scroll with any screen you are on.
3 screens, enough for me.
weather widget, LOVE it.
ive downloaded all 3 and use all 3..i like a little variety so i swap them up every now and then..i like all 3 apps, they all have something different. to me it seems DxTop loads and refreshes the home page faster than all the others.. i do like the docked 4 icons from aHome and the widgets are nice as well. and the theme support from Open Home is nice as well. personally i prefer DxTop since it does load faster than the other 2, and 1 swipe away from everything is nice. aHome just takes way too long to load the home page and force closes when the back button is used..ohh..and no bettercut icons is a downer also..fix the speed of loading, the force closes, and BetterCut usage on aHome and i think it would easily be the best on the G1 to date.
Im stuck between Openhome and DXtop. DXtop because of the widgets and the up and down action. But openhome has themes and 7 screen.
dxTop, definitely for me. The other two are basically iphone rip offs and I'm a firm believer that it's silly have your phone look like something it isn't. Besides, why anyone would want 10 pages of icons comepletely confounds me. I love how dxTop is compeletely "out of the box" thinking. It's simple in concept and executed well. I do wish it had better widgets though. Really? 10 pages? I have about 100 apps installed and I have about 8 or 9 that I need/want on the home pages... the iphone paradigm is SO cluttered looking. blech.
dxTop FTW!
sorry i love dxtop, i can get to any of my four screens in ONE swipe of the finger, two desktops were enough for me before but i decided that is i was gonna pay for an app it would be one developed my a fellow XDA member. i love having wo menu tabs, one full of programs run since last boot, and the rest of my apps.
i have 85 apps installed, i can't find a damn thing on my regular tab, and my folders are set up and when i boot i just run the programs out of the folders till the regular apps i use get into the other tab. PLUS dxtop color coordinates the runing apps vs. the apps in background vs. closed apps. i love being able to see what is running at any point in time, the second tab is like a task manager.and i have Close Everything installed so i can just shut down apps when i need to. there is no need for more tha 4 desktops till more *free* widgets come out.
does anyone know of an app/modification (metamorph?) that will allow us to "dock" some apps so that they are accessible in every screen?
not like a widget that pops up a carousel (like some apps offer)...
i mean more like the "star" of favourite apps/docked apps that is accessible on every screen in open home..for those of you who have used it
it's to the far right on every home screen, you swipe the star and you have like 6 apps (or so) accessible....
any ideas? thanks!
Anderwebs ADW launcher sounds like something you are looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645550
HelixLauncher also does this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645683
I would have to say that Anderwebs launcher is quite superior to helix in performance, but they are both great launchers.
Thanks for the quick replies!
Helixlauncher almost looks like a home replacement from the descriptions...
I do want to keep my regular home app..since it has 9 screens
I just wanted to add the two main things I liked from alternate home apps
I.e., the app dock...and if I can find it, a way to "name" each home screens, on the bottom, next to the app drawer icon...
I'll test out the first option to see if it has an app dock without modifying my app drawer icon, hehe

Helix can have 9 screens too.
Hehe..thanks...but I guess I'll just stick to keeping my most used apps on the main screen and if I am on screen 9 and need to get to screen 5, I'll just hit the "home" button again, hehe
But I do have another modding question...I am kind of highjacking my own thread,hehe
is there a way to add the "dots" that indicate which screen you are on to either side of the app drawer icon? (Like screen 5 would have 4 little dots on each side?)
...or failing that, a way to label each screen? (Apps, games, etc...)
I saw one app that did this...but it had horrible reviews...so any app or personal way to modify it would be great...thanks again!
Definitely try out the ADW launcher... it has more customizer than even you would know what to do with!
http://www.jbthemes.com/anderweb/adwlauncher.html
it does look/sound good...
however, if you have to install it the same way you flash a rom, i don't think i can do it as my bootloader is locked...(telus milestone)
any instructions on the actual "flashing" part? the only ones i see is to change the zip file to "update.zip" and apply it from recovery mode, but it says invalid signature when i do that and then does nothing...
or can i just install the launch.apk file in the zip?
LauncherPro is faster than ADW.
It's just that you can't set your own app dock, there's one provided for you, it's shortcuts to Phone, Contacts, Messaging and the Browser.
Helix can have 9 screens too.

i don't want to modify any of the actual settings i already have..i like the way my phone is customized...
therefore, i'd like ADW if you can really pick and choose nearly every item you can implement...this would be best
also, as a sidenote, does anyone know how to flash it to the milestone?

if you're looking for some serious customization, look for sweeter home on the internet. it's in beta (for like 1 1/2 years now) so it's not on the market but i had fun fooling around w/it. it's basically a home replacement app that you design yourself from the ground up. kinda steep learning curve at first but you can always download someone else's theme and keep it or even tweek it how you like. there's even forums too if you need help.
http://www.sweeterhome.com/
maybe i'm way off target, just thought it would interest you
thanks, i'll check it out...
but i wasn't originally looking for a home replacement..i had open home before (and this one might be better) and I just didn't like the "bulk" of having an extra home app
thanks again though, i'll still give it a shot, hehe

ADWLauncher has tons of extra features, and they're all toggle-able. If you don't like the dock, turn it off in settings. Want more screens? Settings. Want the Galaxy S drawer? Settings. Want the home screens to scroll faster? Settings.
hehe
i know
but the problem is i can't find a way to flash it on the milestone...
i'm looking for a tutorial or someone that has successfully flashed anything to the milestone =-\

You can now download adw.launcher from the market for an easy install
I may be way off-base here but my wife is using "Open home" on her Cliq (because she couldn't stand MotoBlur's ugly UI) and it has everything that you're looking for: Number of screens, workspace labels, dock, dots, etc) and it seems like it's running OK on her phone. I know that it's a "replacement" home but it shouldn't be a problem on the phone with some spare RAM (i.e. any phone except for G1 and original MT3G)
Good luck.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to know if you guys would mind sharing your settings on ADW? I just got my Gtab a few days ago and I'm running Calkulin's G-Tab v1.1, love the rom. Thanks ahead of time
Settings? Like visual preferences or functional stuff?

Both I would say...
Well I'm a fan of the minimal home screen. I only have one, and it has a few icons, a search bar, and the GV widget. So, I chose to go with only one icon on the dock bar and that is just for the app drawer. I switch back and forth between screen transition effects, but right now I'm using effect number 6: rolling slide. My app tray is semi-transparent and I have my desktop bounce set to 49. Fancy backgrounds are enabled and I've chosen a semi-transparent gray. Oh, and before I changed all of that stuff, I installed the ADW Honeycomb theme and I use theme icons.
Now that I think about it, there is a lot to customize with ADW. I have a few more changes but I can't think of them off the top o' my noggin.

I have a similar settings but I use 3 icon dock and I have it set to random screen effects. What do you have your Desktop Columns/Desktop Rows size set to?
Desktop layout is eight columns, seven rows. And I turned off the horrible indicators and the trash can. But in my drawer I have six by six in landscape and four by ten in portrait. What about you?

I had mines on default which I didn't like at all, so I'm trying your setting... Thanks
You're welcome. ADW EX is great and super versatile. Happy customizing!
I have my settings set based on performance. Not many animations going on and things like swipe speed are set very low. I'm on my phone right now but maybe I can upload my personal setting (not homescreen layout though --that wont do u much good) . I definitely have spent a lot of time customizing adw ex.
Hopefully ill remember to upload the settings XML tomorrow, I guess it can't hurt for u to try that way.

That would be great, thanks either way...
These settings are a bit outdated from what I'm running right now. But, my GTab just went haywire on me (forcecloses everywhere, can't run a thing -- good excuse to switch to the Vegan 7 experimental, though).
ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need to change the extension to XML - I cannot upload XML files. It should read "adw_ex_settings.xml"
Just drop this in the root of your GTab and "Restore settings" in ADW. I'd suggest copying your current settings to another folder in case you don't like mine.
Thank a lot man, side question... Do any of you guys had a issue with no audio on Calkulin's G-Tab v1.1 using Clemsyn's latest kernel? I ask on the rom thread but haven't gotten a response.
I've had an audio problem with. VEGAN 5 but haven't tried another rom recently enough to tell if its the rom or my hardware.
my audio cuts out a couple of minutes into YouTube videos, or any other media for that matter. Do u get no sound at all or does yours cut out like mine?
I just flashed vegan 7 so ill be able to tell if its something to do with my model if my sound problem persists

It would work than just cut out and I have no way of getting it back besides re-flashing the ROM again, I have even tired different kernels and no luck.
Thats a lot worse than I have it. I'm able to just reboot and I can get my sound back, albeit only for a little while. Ill let you know how vegan 7 treats my speakers.

▐▄▀▄▀▌2 NEW Themes for Testing / 2 Possible Added: 3/26
WELCOME
as i have stated in my ELse theme thread i have been working on some cool new themes for Throttle Launcher...
they dont all work great and they are very simple so far...
so no major mind blowing features...
i do plan on refining them to get them to work nicely for everyone though..
ONLY WVGA AND WQVGA for both
i am also working on a neat idea i had for straping my TD2 to my wrist with a strap... and using it as a glorified Wristwatch..!!!
so i am custom making a WVGA theme for this purpose... its really only practical for the TD2 as it is so thin ...
other phones way to bulky !!!!
i will upload some pics soon... but in the meantime here are the themes for you guys to get all worked up about and to beg me for the next two months to finish
is called Freedom Fone... for now...
cool features.. slide down on the screen to activate the lockscreen
and the awesome CLOCK!!!
_____________-
thats its for now... enjoy
TWO MORE THEMES IN THE WORKS!!!!!!
ZUNE PHONE
look how similar the TD2 and the ZUNE HD look!!!!
PSP PHONE... maybe if im creative enough!!!
no zip's yet.... be patient....
if you want these just post a message which one you prefer to have done!!!
reservado tambien...

Liking the Lacuna theme... patiently awaiting tweaks.
I would like kinetic scrolling in the mesages section (like in friends section) if possible.
Huge potental in this theme. I am looking forward to future releases.
hey trekfan, very very nice... i actually dont really miss ELSE anymore with these ones in the mix
u r such a creative genius!
at this stage: im liking the lacuna theme, but this may change over the course of the next couple of days/weeks
ok some initial thoughts/feedback:
freedom fone:
clock:loving it! if you could select program to open that would be good!
date: the digits for the date dont look that great... would be good if i can i open calendar if i click on the date
phone: not implemented yet? at this stage it goes to start menu (im sure you know)
messages: would be good to be able to select sms program to use
calendar: the appointment subject and the location of the appointments seem to overlap. if we could select the program to open when we click on an item that would be great
menu: any chance to have an option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
lockscreen: HOT!
other:
-how about next alarm info?
-how about adding a tab for email? or being able to choose what tabs u show on the home screen?
lacuna:
clock: next alarm info beneath clock maybe?
menu: any chance to have an option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
friends: favorites would be very good, especially if you have a lot of friends
text: i selected sms chat as the sms program, but when i click on a text message it still brings up the usual messaging app from samsung
mail: im guessing this hasn't been implemented yet, but can't wait until it does ...
other:
-the sliding can it combined with the ability to click on the sub-menus to see that page? i.e. so you do not need to swipe twice to get from 'friends' to 'mail'
first to jaeskil...
yes i wil have kinetic for messages... but uits not working right now
wil_dee
you share my visions.....almost all of those things are planned implementations....
glad everyone likes lacuna.... its my favorite too
i really eager to know how the notification will be like in lacuna themes...also can u put the refresh button to message page....thanks...love ur themes...

for the notifications...
see the little blue rectangle in the top right....???
when a new text or email or event is up.... another blue rectangle will appear a little under the first one with words to the left of it.... saying "1 new message" or "1 new email" or whatever and when yo u click it it will take you to the throttle launcher page for the corresponding notification first ... rather then straight jump to the app of your choice.
kinda like this...
im not sure how to implement the refresh button but i will try...
lacuna lockscreen....
will look like this.
notification style for the lockscreen is undecided...
it will actually be the first page when the launcher shows up... this is so it can have the nice scroll effect...
Liking Lacuna keep it simple and you have a winner there
Did you make the changes we discussed to the FF clock images yet?
It looks like as mentioned in someone elses thread custom images are going to be needed for the date as well.
in your config the theme is still defined as switchblade as well - only checked to see if I got a mention
*edit* have now taken a look at both themes
the first thing that needs to be done is an editable and selectable wallpaper option to be inserted into both, now on to specifics
Freedom Fone does appear to be roughly where we left it, I have tried several ways and cannot figure out how to get the image for contacts to appear next to the messages. Otherwise it is a good solid clean theme which just needs the little touches mentioned above.
Lacuna (where did the name come from?) is NICE sooo simple and clean, congrats. The only thing I have found so far is the text page and most likely the mail page can be moved around when pressing on a message, I think this is due to the frame for the messages being larger than the text size illustrated by the fact that characters are being lost off the right hand side.
On the negative, I dont think the bottom right button fits the rest of the theme and I think you should look to develop an alternative take on the taskbar. You have the graphical talent and now the xml experience to pull off something more original.
There are a few things I would do differently with this theme, perhaps I can have your permission to use the base to create my own take on it please

lol... but seriously... in Music a Lacuna is an extended silence in the piece.... and i keep thinking in my head if i had a commercial for this theme ... it would be a build up of classical symphony while a black background with fading words discribe things we look for in a simple theme.... and finally when the screen shows up and does some stuff a Lacuna is the only way of matching the visual appeal... with stunned silence..lol

What I meant by the wallpaper is to set something up in the config to allow users to specify a wallpaper for the theme, not sure how this will work for a page broken theme though but it will be fun to find out.
and thanks for letting me abuse it once i'm done

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yeah that sounds fine...
cause i was thinking it would be cool to take a widescreen picture ... split it up into like 4 pieces and give each page xml the next piece... so it looks like the wallpaper scrolls....
good work=)
i m going to try them on my x1 to check if they run smoothly
looking forward to ur next works
If you are a Fan of the Lacuna theme...

dear trekfan,
im so in love with lacuna. please continue developing it. its simplicity makes it special so stick to that. the scrolling wallpaper sounds great! i do agree with the posters above me regarding the improvements. also, it will be better if the link to the start menu can be customized to, let's say your favorite apps, or more pages. will love to test for more updates.
thanks!

Is it possible to remember us (the qvga people)?
Has anyone else played with it? I'm running it on my phone and it's pretty awesome. Its a little weird to modify the home screens, but it definitely opens up a whole bunch customization and uniqueness for any phone. There is quite a bit of already made themes to choose from aswell.
It's only in beta phase now but you can download it free at www.sweeterhome.com .
As of right now its more stable than adw for me and is way better on battery.
