Hi,
I have a HTC Hero, and I whould like 5 desktops, not 7. Is there a tip ?
Thx.
Not got time to give a full answer, but it would help if we knew the position of your phone?
I.e. Are you rooted?
and if so what custom rom are you running?
Thanks
When you answer these someone else will be able to give you a full answer

Sorry
I have a rooted Modaco Custom Rom 3.1
Strange request! It does beg the question as to why you would want to "restrict" the number of screens as opposed to simply not using the if you don't want them?
Regards,
Dave

It's simply a matter of speed ^^
I am interested in this too. I only ever use three screens. Any way to change number of screens? I am running rooted stock HTC Rom. 2.73.61.66

That rather assumes that removing them will increase speed!

You need a custom launcher.apk I believe.
Don't know if anyone has created a 3/5 screen Rosie launcher, I guess because there are so many fullscreen widgets.

Yea, it's true there are a lot of full screen widgets... but to be honest, I don't use any widgets except for the htc settings widgets for wifi, bluetooth etc.

If your on a 2.1 rom you can always use espresso rosie that has 5 screens by default.
Default android has 3 so you can just turn sense off on your hero (or install a rom with it removed altogether to get just 3 screens

the problem is i follow what they do and it doesn't work i think the problem is that it doesn't actually have home installed on it i've looked thru all of the applications and its not there is there anyway to install it?
Why would you get a desire and NOT a nexus one if you don't like sense?
Find Launcher.apk, Launcher2.apk or one of the launcher replacements in the market (ahome, openhome, home++) and install them to replace the sense homescreen.

You could try installing Launcher2.apk from Nexus One. Some people report it working fine on their phones. It didn't work for me though. Maybe I had the wrong APK.

Complete Android noob here please explain
In overly simplified terms, Sense UI is HTC's home screen, where as Launcher2 is Google's home screen for N1.
All programs on Android come in APK files. That's like a CAB installer on WinMo.
So all you need to do is search Nexus One forum for Launcher2.apk, download it on your phone and install it. Then when you press home button, it will ask you which home to launch. Choose Android home (or something similar) instead of Sense UI, but DON'T make it default just yet as it might not work.
If it does, next time you can make it default an voila - you have yourself a "Nexus One".
Though Sense UI will still be running, so you don't really save any memory or anything.
I have posted in this forum how to turn of Sense on the Desire. Search 'How to turn of HTC Sense' or something.
Since in that clip there was ACTUALLY a Desire being used, it should work. From what I remember:
Go to settings, all programs, search HTC Sense, turn it off.

i've just downloaded launcher2.apk and now just to finish this phone call then i'm gonna test this out will report back. i feel like a crash test dummy lol
You could also try to install the Helixlauncher2 app from the Nexus One forum. It's a modified Nexus One launcher2 with a lot more features. I already made a thread in the Desire Themes and Apps forum since I'm curious whether it works flawlessly or not on the Desire. Maybe you can crash test that launcher too?
ok default launcher 2 doesn't work gonna try the other one mentioned now

just tried it it works seems a bit laggy but i think now i might just stick with sense as the only thing i prefer with nexus is the lock screen. anyway to get that on sense?
you also loose all the nice widgets so i'm gonna stick with sense for the moment.
thanks for all your help guys.

Dude what I was saying was that I had seen alot of tutorials on How to do it and followed them but it didn't work so you probably just miss understood. We all do at times dw about it

Flashed fresh 3.2.0.0 roms, sweet roms so far, except for one problem here. I didn't find HTC Mail Widget in the "Add to the home screen" menu. I was wondering if there were any way I can make that widget showing on the launch pro+? If so, how should I do it? really appreciate it.
HTC widgets can only be used with sense UI
Swyped on my EVO
Launcher pro does not work with sense widgets like the one you are trying.
Are you sure it is missing? I'm running Fresh 3.2 and the widget is there. I guess it is possible that something went wrong with the install but if that is the case try ref lashing.
If it still doesn't show, post again and I'll send the apk to you.

anyways, thanks again.
Is there a way to have the cm 7.2 lockscreen on a froyo sense ROM? I love that lockscreen but I also love my Rempuzzle sense ROM...
Welcome to the end of your life, hail the oceanborn
Should not, but I think the sense of the beautiful lock screen, although the function is less
Apps
Sadly, replacing the lockscreen itself isn't as easy as flashing a new one in (like you can with the bootscreen). However, a wealth of apps are available that can change the outer look and functionality of your lockscreen (basically, giving you an entire new lockscreen, even if it really isn't). I can't link to anything right now, but searching for lockscreens in the Market should yield plentiful results!

Have you tried Widget Locker? Enable the 5 second rule, it does not lag. Also since it supports widgets , it looks cool

hi, Im a Verizon Galaxynexus owner, I have CM10 nightly. I have some question about the Recent App in Jellybean.
I want it tow show Only the Running apps, not the "Recents" apps. there is any mod for that?? or any way to make it??
I have suscefully Mod by myself the SystemUI.apk and Framework.apk.
also, I want to know if there is some way to make the "previews" for the recentApp to be "Realtime" instead of simple images. Just like this mod for IOS
youtube.com/ watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Zzdi1lO7V_w
and Last, I want to know if there is some way to make the RecentApp panel like the video in minute 1.47
thanks.
No, no and no... haven't seen any of those kind of mods. The only thing i've seen was being able to change the recent app panel to look like the htc sense one in a rom, forgot which one though.
I think

And what are you basing that possibility on? If you don't have any factual basis you shouldn't make such claims.

its because android has API for that., go to Setting/app/running.
anyone know? i've flipped through most of the rom thread, didn't find anything. long-press, short-press, settings, etc.. looks like most people want to add more, nor reduce the existing 5, but i only need 3 (maybe even 1). i saw some people talking about installing "tweaks" that could do it, just wondering if it can do it natively without any add-ons.
thanks in advance!
