isn't this something like the sense 3.0 lockscreen??

Nope that's the Honeycomb(-look) lockscreen.
Sense 3.0 lockscreen is like this:
You drag the silver hoop out of the bottom.

That's more like Honeycomb.
The Sense stuff can't be ported as easily as that. Too much is Rosie dependant. E.g. the Sense 3.0 lockscreen has shortcuts to dialer, camera and some other random stuff. In short, it's not going to happen, unless someone wants to do a full port which is being worked on but I wouldnt hold my breath.
If you want a Sense 3.0 lockscreen, but a Sensation/Pyramid.

I'm sure someone could make a lockscreen where you drag the silver hoop out of the bottom to unlock the device, and a simple clock/weather above that but that sorta destroys the point of the lockscreen (the 'active' part).
Without the sense framework in place I don't think we'll be able to get anything more than the above (look without the function).
To be fair it does look pretty cool, so if anyone does make a lockscreen like what I just described I'm sure plenty would still like/use it

But it's not really that good either. I find Tw totally underwhelming. It's also very uncustomizable. Which is a pain because the icon dock is too damn big and the app draw sucks big time.
Also the lock screen is horrendous. Compared to sense 3.0 it's just sad.

It's really a matter of personal choice.
If looks of the interface is more important for you rather than the hardware and performance then you might as well buy the Sensation.

Well actually that influence performance too... from sense lockscreen you can call the camera without additional clicks so you can draw a photo immediately or going directly to the dialer...
A non paginated drawer is faster when you have to scroll hundreds apps... but as you said is a matter of personal choices

Landscape Start screen

I am wondering if any developer would like to make a landscape start screen. What this means is I can turn my phone to landscape mode and the start screen changes to landscape. I think that would be a cool feature if possible this could be implemented in some way.

it will be like 2 tiles and lots of empty space on the right side of your screen...
why would u want that??

Huh?
I think what the OP is asking for would look something like this (very quick) mock-up:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Of course it will never happen, but it would be very nice if it did.

yah that is what i am looking for. This couldnt be possible even with a special skin or custom rom. Android people have some pretty radical customs roms(i know it is open source) just wondering why that couldnt be done with windows phone.

Well for one, performance reasons. I remember when I had the Android G1 switching between landscape and portrait lagged as I had to wait for the system to be responsive again after opening the keyboard on the homescreen.
Most windows phones are candybars. Only 2 generation 1 models have slide out keyboards
The OS is designed primarily around portrait use. If you were to make the homescreen landscape it would present some design inconsistencies.
It is not necessary. Using the homescreen in landscape mode provides no tangible benefit over portrait mode and could be annoying when lying in bed etc.

well see when i am using my phone in landscape mode, it gets annoying for the screen to go back to portrait so this is why i am wondering if this is possible. There are some phone that can go into portrat mode and dont have a qwerty(non windows phones)

The quick mock-up looks like Windows 8.

yah it looks good but i dont know if it will happen

Nice mockup!

I too am pining for lanscape start, hubs, index search
is there a registry edit maybe in order to add this functionality when I dock my Titan?
I have been using the dock for my Titan a lot lately and wish the start screen would rotate to landscape when I dock or the tiles themselves could simply stay in portrait just rotate accordingly when I dock because the screen is now a landscape position sure there will be a huge black bar off to the right but that's fine and for the hubs and index search too.
there has be some type of edit to change the system into rotating start screen?

Sorry but I think that is impossible, Windows Phone 7 is really closed about the homescreen and mofidications

maybe the app "htc dock mode" could be something for you

Maybe in windows phone it a landscape start screen could come alive

Vertical scrolling launcher

I created some image tiles for my home screen; something similar to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However I'm trying to make it function more like the Android Market home screen, where you scroll vertically as opposed to horizontally.
I'm using Go Launcher EX and as far as I've gathered none of the launchers I've tried have the option to scroll vertically.
Does anyone know of any launchers that have that ability?

Nice!
When you manage to get that thing together i will test drive the hell out of it for you. Windows 7 themed launcher moves up and down. There may be others though so don't quote me on it

I tried Win 7 Launcher previously but you're only limited to tiles 1x1 or 1x2 & some of the tiles that come preconfigured are locked onto the screen (i.e you can't remove them).
Actually what I'm doing is nothing really more then creating tiles & placing them onto the screen. I wish though that I did know how to create a launcher, I'm just using a pre-existing one, though none have the vertical scrolling feature that I would like.

Can you decompile it make the necessary mods repack sign and test? I know I am making it sound easy. I know nothing of developing so I can be of much help.

You got me there bro as I don't know jack when it comes to Android programming/code.
I'm just your basic android user

Dude have you already found yourself a vertical scrolling launcher? I want exactly what you described. It would be AWSOME with desktop visualizer.
Please let me know

No luck as of yet. Hopefully one off the existing launchers will incorporate that function in the future

Request
Why not send out some request to the devs of some of the launchers I am sure someone can make it for you.

Well it is a vertical launcher but after messing with it for awhile it does not allow me to remove the preset icons (you can only remove ones you create) & if using tiles you cannot get them to align in such a manner that they touch end to end. I was hoping to use the launcher to create tiles of my own using Desktop Visualizer. This is what I have created using Go Launcher, just want the home screens to scroll vertically. My ultimate goal is to create a home screen that scrolls vertically & create something that looks very similar to the Android Market:

I have send an email to the golauncher developers too and vot one back. But i think it's just a standard reply so i don't expect any luck there
EL TEJANO i want exactly the same thing. I've spend so many hours on the Internet searching with no luck. It's getting frustrating. I really hope golauncher or any other good launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro can add this function

So this thread is dead now?

[App] Landscape Homescreen WITHOUT Custom ROMs / Rooting

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Simple free app that is able to give you the above without custom ROMs. Tested on a stock One X that has never been rooted.
Rotation Locker
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker&hl=en
Basically auto rotate does not allow your homescreen to be viewed in landscape. Apps do rotate but not the homescreen. This app allows you to lock your phone into landscape orientation forcing your homescreen to be rotated.
No performance issues. As buttery smooth as portrait mode.
Seen many people ask about landscape homescreens only to be told they need to have custom ROMs. You don't have to.
Hope this helps.

I use apex launcher which allows landscape
I don't know why sense just doesn't allow landscape without an app's help

Yep. The idea of this post is you don't have to get a third party launcher just for this feature.
HTC's reason is probably "allow less = support less". Less complexity on their end maybe.

Glad I found this topic... Works brilliantly.

Thanks. This looks like it could be really useful with taster and car dock mode

I use Ultimate Rotation Control(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate). Not free but has tasker/locale/settings profile integration

This isn't working for me. I want my homescreen to rotate automatically when I turn it into a landscape orientation. The "Auto" option does not do that. It is either landscape or portrait which is completely pointless.

My HOX does this out of the box you dont need an app for rotating the homescreen. When i rotate my homescreen does it atuomatically.... using music lover skin. On stock FW.

Just realised I had to go to "get more" and download this skin. Looks nice though so thanks for saying it existed. Mine isn't rotating though on the stock setup only if I use one of the apps in this thread.

Of the two posted this one does seem to work the best as it can use Force Auto Rotate which is brilliant for when on the homescreen as it will rotate automatically,

Thats weird, today its not doing it. Let me check the settings as it was yesterday. I remember because I hate it when it does that and I assumed it did not out of the box aswell.

Apex launcher for me...
How many threads will we get for this?
Sense doesn't allow landscape mode, not unless it's docked!
Only third party apps will alter the rosie.apk.

My stock HTC One X came with a widget called 'Auto rotate'. This is On by default. When turned Off, the standard home screen will be landscape. No need for any app when you just want a forced landscape homescreen in your car like me!

[APP][Launcher] ICS Trebuchet Launcher

There should be no dependencies.
However try integrating it into the firmware (it was designed to work from /system/app)- ICS does restrict launcher behaviour if it is not a system app (like for Apex- you can't put a widget from Drawer if it's a user app)

No, it is for all screen sizes (well, maybe except qvga but I didn't test this)

Like Trebuchet Concept, Looking Forward
Once I figured out how to use it, I kind of like the minimalist approach. Dragging app icons and widgets to the screens is much quicker than click, click, find, click, ... and the widget re-sizing dot feature touted in Jellybean is already there (but can be applied asymmetrically for some strange results).
However, this thing is still primitive. No properties except wallpapers.
I put on adw (former XDA launcher) just to have a more usable system. I do not look for fancy eye-candy like go. Just some simple properties like:
Grid density--I like fitting more icons on the page (I find the adw refitting not the best so leave that unchecked).
Along with this, might need the widget auto-refit idea from Jellybean.
Number of home screens (elementary).
Last but not least, a backup and restore.
Another interesting idea I got by accident in another launcher: superimpose icon over larger widget. When clicked, takes precedence, of course. Since screen real-estate, especially in smaller phones, is at a premium, this could be a "killer."
Two bugs I found:
Possible to place two icons in same place on app bar. Embarrassing.
Widgets did not "come back" after reboot sometimes.

Got a Nice Version!
There are multiple versions around for download, without any systematic way of choosing other than: The Biggest Has More Features Implemented. I found a 10 meg version in a flash-able zip that has most of what I wanted already there!
Still needs a backup and save, and important: way of resetting as the default launcher
The general widget re-sizing works great, even re-positioning to a halfway spot so the re-sizing makes sense. Great.
Minor bugs around:
The news and weather widget re-sizing works incorrectly. ADW does it fine.
Icon label text is cut off (at least on 5-row view). Vertical padding makes it worse. Needs be tucked in closer to the icon.
I might assume that a somewhat larger apk is around somewhere with more features and fixes. Once I can get it again as default launcher, I will play with it some more.

It did not passed on my 7 inch tablet :-( There is margins at the bottom and top with a height of regular icon size.
