[Q] Wallpapers - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So i have a question, i am using Launcher Pro and i wanted to know if its possible to have separate wallpapers for each home screen i have, how do i do that if its possible.
Thanks.

u should search in the preferences of launcher pro, but i remember that u can use this features

Hmmm, lemme look for that option, i couldn't find it anywhere..
Also when when making folders, how can i name the folder, its always "folder" and pretty annoying..
Thanks.

Other wallpaper in adw launcher

how can i put more than 1 wallpaper in adw launcher?
upppppppppppp
Moved as not theme/software release.
upppppppppppppp
Can you explain what you mean. i really don't get you. do you mean auto switch wallpapers? there are some apps for if you search you will find it. i never used such kind of app so i don't know how it will work with ADW
Yeah, nobody has answered this because I presume nobody understands the actual question..
You change Wallpaper the same way you do in every launcher, long-press on the background or the menu button.
i'm making a rom, and in adw launcher apk there is a folder, it has wallpapers, but only one. (wallpaper_adw.jpg)
my question is: how can i put more than one wallpaper visible to nexus one in that folder ?
i say in the folder drawable/hdpi there is a wallpaper_adw.jpg, and you can see it in the menu for wallpapera, can i put other wallpaperss in that folder that you can see in wallpaper menu?
I think its better if you pm the developer. If you look in cm roms you will see that there isnt special section for adw wallpapers.
If you want to make a rom maybe you can start making it on cm?

[Q] Help finding the perfect Home/Launcher app

ok, i've tried a fair few but only 'open home' so far can offer transparent labels/text for both icons & folders.
anyone know of any others that do this? i just want text-free home screens.
many thanks.
apes
should have said, need 7 screens & customisable folder icons.
cyanogenmod roms can add shortcuts with no text to home, but the launcher with all apps will show text. I dont know any with such a function
If you want a nice launcher try zune home, i love it.
ps edit posts, dont double post.
adw + folder organiser combined manages it.
ok re double post, almost as bad as a post that adds no value.

[Q] app drawer app?

So.... ive been digging around this morning to no avail........
What im looking for is an app that i guess would be considered a simulated app drawer? Not a home launcher. For example, it would list all apps and allow you to run them from within itself as shortcuts just like the normal app drawer does. More specifically something that would allow the changing of said apps icons. At the moment i dont care about any battery drain side effects that using an extra app drawer app would cause.
Anyone know of anything like this?
Note: Remember im not talking about an entire home launcher, im well aware of most all home launchers and there abilities or lack there of.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: At best the closest i can come to this is to create a folder and add apps to it by dragging folder organizer shortcuts with custom icons in it into it. This is a time consuming process and needs to be manually updated every time an app is installed.
Something like Simi Folder?
Thats one option i was looking at but when it comes down to it it would basically require the same effort that folderorganizer does.
I think what i really need to do is research creating icon "packs" that i can link too that would auto assign an icon to an app. Simi is a bit more pleasing to the eye though.
Edit: haha thanks for posting that i just reread the simi folder thread and realized i missed the fact that it has support for icon packs... So does folder organizer though. I guess im kind of looking for something thats right in my face.... 0.o... Im just not to fond of trying to learn how to create icon packs... wonder if i could just mod one and sign it with a test sig...
Edit Edit: Nah after installing simi folder its actually less capable of doing what im looking for then folder organizer is.
I know you're not looking for another launcher, but have you checked out Go Launcher Ex? You can create folders inside of the app drawer with that launcher, which is what you appear to be trying to do.
If you already checked it out and it's not what you're looking for, then... at least I bumped your thread
Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
Have you tried circle launcher? It allows you to. Create a widget on the homescreen and within it you can choose what appear you want it to launch
Its.essentially like folder organizer but.with eye candy I guess. Not really sure.how else to.describe it.

I was thinking the twgtglauncher puts the app icons in tiles. Maybe you can edit that launcher. Are you trying to create a "Glowen" app drawer?

[Q] Change the dock shortcuts

Is it possible to change the dock shortcuts?
If so, how?
(i dont want ADW eller launcher pro (paid for both)
Have you tried Go Launcher EX? Completely free, stable and quick. Have it on mine and works a treat. Can then change what apps launch. So I have Opera as my browser, Go Dialer as my phone.
Thx bro, but maby I was not clear enough..
*i DO NOT want any other launcher than the stock one*
(at least until someone can tell me its not possible to change the dock shortcuts )
But thanks anyway, i know and have tried a lot of the homelaunchers, but it just like the stock one, i like the appdrawer where things are sortet in 2 groups, included apps, and downloaded apps.. also arranged alphabeticaly.. makes it much easier to find stuff
its not possible, maybe with some hard coding?
Oh well... ADW it is then

I know what you mean the appdrawer was one of the things I liked about the stock launcher as well.
Go Launcher has the ability to group programs into folders, which makes it easier for me. Doesn't look as nice as stock but works just as well.
Not sure if the other launchers also do this
I'm sure it's possible to change by editing LGLauncher.apk.
I don't have the knowledge or time to look into it though..
I couldn't stop myself having a quick look into the apk.
DockingMenu.smali has a lot of references to some dragging and dropping, did anyone even try draggin new applications onto the dock?
In stock launcher just go into the app list, select edit and drag into the dock whatever app you need.

Android folder look

Hi
As you may noticed, the android folders are really lame, in terms of look. However they are very practical, the drag and drop feature is very useful, and it keeps the homescreen organized.
How can I change the look of the folders, to make them look like the ios folders (where I can see what is inside without opening), without loosing the drag and drop feature?
Status: Rooted
Rom: Emanon v7
With Holo launcher you can create folders by dragging shortcuts on top of each other and you can see the first three shortcuts of that folder on your homescreen...
swyped
I'm using Launcher Pro, and I dont want to change it, because it is really good.
I want to have that kind of folder on LauncherPro, or any other launcher for everyone to use.
Try adw ex.

The idea is not to change the laucher.
The idea is just to change the look of the existing folders on android.
just that. Is it possible? How?
Then mate you can do one thing-Do your homework.
Google is your teacher.
And patience is the skill.
I know that, but when I search that on google, it shows me folder organizer and stuff like that, not at all what I am looking for.
I'm just asking here because I know that more people have the same problem, and I was trying to see if anyone arround here knew something about it.
I wanted the same thing. There are very few "widgets" that will do this. I posted in the Epic 4G SleeperROM thread and received similar replies. Someone mentioned Circle Widgets but I didn't like that look.
I use ADW launcher and other than the look for the folders, everything is great.
