Why not just a contact shortcut, that way you don't have to have two seperate shortcuts for the same person.

You could clean up your desktop a lot more if you put a bunch of that poo poo on the other sections of the dock and/or used folder organizer (there's a free lite version) to make some folders to sort poo poo into categories.

There are mods for it, but you could just use the search button/long press search to get to both of those features easily without requiring a widget.

Ok...but all that swiping and/or clicking is just as much work as opening the app drawer. It's a lot easier for me to have my most used programs on one of my three desktops, At most, it's one swipe and one click. Not three swipes through my dock, then a swipe up, then a click, then do the hokey-pokey...but you didn't have to open the app drawer, so I guess you win!

The dock has 3 'screens,' so it's at most one swipe and a click or a swipe to launch, giving you 30 actions just as easily while looking way nicer. It's literally just as easy but much nicer looking.

Combine that with folder organizer and desktop visualizer and you have some really nice looking shortcuts to "folders" as well.

The second one looks like a custom skin of the Launcher Pro widget, but I could be wrong.

Close. It's the regular LP calendar widget (syncing with multiple calendars which gives the different colored bars), but they've changed their system font.

(the little Tasks widget at the bottom is a separate widget, no idea what that is)

Um the regular LP calendar widget doesn't look like that, it's a custom skinned version.

To expand on what Casao says, you have to change the images in the framework itself, so you have to either load a ROM that has what you want or find a mod that matches your phone's framework. Or find the images and edit them yourself.

The ROMs that have that feature don't do it via images, they're displaying text over top of the battery image.

Are you sure? I'm running a custom ROM and pulled the framework, it's just a series of static images. Maybe CM6/MIUI does it different, but I know you can mod your framework's images to do that.

Yes I'm sure, a custom image solution involves a modded framework with 100 seperate images, and is a stupid, lovely solution.

The completely white icons look really great on AMOLED, especially since it matches the BW skin I'm using so well.

If you're going to work in a phone store, wouldn't you, you know, have an interest in learning about phones and gadgets?

They would have to pay people a lot more to do the research and actually learn products. Or they can just half-rear end it, pay them a bit above minimum wage and commission and call it a day, because 99% of people don't know better. It's the same at Best Buy, most people don't know poo poo that work there.

Really nice looking theme.

Great idea and most of it is gorgeous but some of it is also hideous. Especially the "more options here" image (like next to the sound options under settings.) I dislike the vertical signal meter too. Black browser is great though.

I would love to see a fork of theme Chooser with per app options.

Anyone know of any cool "fullscreen" news widgets to put on my 5th homescreen? I'd like to stick with the stock Gingerbread launcher so I don't think I can have scrolling widgets.

You can make launchers like LP look just like the stock one if for some reason you hate more features and stuff, and then use scrolling widgets. Plus if you buy LPP there are some awesome full screen widgets like scrolling friends (facebook and/or twitter,) messaging, calendar, and now gmail too.

Why does my phone absolutely ruin the quality of wallpaper



It either decides to create a horrific amount of banding out of nowhere and retain sharpness otherwise or make it blurry as gently caress and have no banding. Why can it simply not set the image as it is without loving something up?

edit: Apparently the image size being even the slightest bit off will send it into a fit, I thought I had it right but it was a bit off. It's now the right resolution and works fine.

Do you have a higher res version of that? I want to put it on my Nook Color, so I would need at least 1200x1024 I believe.

I think you should shift the background left so the toggle widget is centered in the darker spot.
