Hi,
Please take a look this idea:

If you think, this is cool, show your support
We need developers to make that.

You don't use AppsOrganizer?
It's awesome and does more.

Yes, I saw this "Apps Organizer", but it is more like a shortcut to some programs, like "Folder".
It is different compare to this idea.
This is grouping apps visually in the home screen.
The idea is to break the traditional icon grids.
Probably I could inform "Apps Organizer" developer if he/she interested in implementing as feature

Re: AppGroup Widget !
You're aware that the app I'm talking about although does arrange apps into folders on the home screens (sadly it doesn't arrange widgets and shortcuts into folders) those folders once clicked expand visually not to another screen but a new small layer opens right there with the apps being displayed under the categories you've placed then in?
The dev of this app can easily add such a minor option that you're requesting but I would much rather use such an app as it already is since it can carry far more apps under each manually set folder icon and 'label' and yet take up only the screen estate of one widget with the benefit of no extra screens that you are transferred to away from home. Works absolutely excellent for me.
But overriding the grids... that's something I've been looking into myself too. Would be an interesting add.

You could install Touch Wiz. But you'd get no Sense widgets.
How do I go about doing this?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I am also interested if anyone knows of any Sense mods or homescreen replacements that have app drawers like TouchWiz. I hate the vertical scrolling. The paged horizontal scrolling seems much more friendly and quicker.
Search for touchwiz3.apk in desire or nexus forums, it is around somewhere.

I tried out touchwiz.. I like some parts of it but hate others. Thanks though.
ADW Launcher has an option for horizontal scrolling rather than vertical scrolling of the app list. It also allows you to customise the number of homescreens - check that out from the Market. You will, however, be unable to use any of the HTC Sense widgets while you are using ADW.
I'll check it out. I've used it in Cyanogenmod.. I didn't like it then (at all). It seems 'rough'. Maybe it's better since I tried it.
Yeah, adw.launcher does about everything you asked. I used it for a day or two, but I personally prefer LauncherPro, it doesn't offer Horizontal scrolling though.

[q] sense icon population

Hello,
Is there a possibility to mod the HTC Sense so that it can accommodate more icons on the homescreen?
For example, ADW Launcher allows you to put as many icons as you can reasonably put on the homescreen, or other screens for that matter.
Is there anyone out there tweaking the HTC native sense?
Thanks.
Have you tried multicon widget...search in the market I'm poetry sure that's the name you can put 4ever icons in the space where one would go...don't know if that helps, if it does then your welcome

Thanks,
that has done great.
I prefer Elixir. Less messy than Multicon.
These both look messy. SiMi Folder is an elegant option... try it!

Have you really tried Elixir before saying that? It's so wrong that I really doubt you did.
There's nothing messy with Elixir icons. You can create as many separate widgets as you like so you can allocate icons by thematic widget if you wish.
If you meant "putting icons instead of folders makes homescreens messy" that's a different thing but I still don't agree with the "messy" term.

[Q] Additional tabs on sense

hey guys,
do you know if there is a way to add additional tabs/screens/more widget space to htc sense?
i've found nothing so far, but maybe i'm just using the wrong search buzzwords.

7 screens is the max on sense. Some launchers may give you the option top have more, but I'm not sure.
And why would you need more than that anyway, if you have filled 7 screens with widgets your battery life must be awful.

48-72 hours battery life and more tabs would be nice for a quicker access to the stuff i need. i've hoped that there is a hack for this sense version to add more tabs
Try Elixir. It will not add any homescreen but it will let you put more stuff in the same space.
I'll try that home option.
SiMi Folder is the most elegant option I have seen to date

Couple of q's
How do I get just an individual wallpaper for my lock screen rather than my normal wallpaper??
There's also a screenshot of someone's phone where there app icons are words,I know I change them as I figured that out in a different thread, is there a package for the word icons?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It is known that Sense UI doesn't allow custom lockscreen as it only provides the downloadable package from the HTC server.
The same thing applies to the stock launcher as well. You can't change the icon into words - unless you use third party app launcher and lockscreen such as Launcher Pro and WidgetLocker. By using this app, you can change anything you want, including what you have mentioned just now.
Both apps are available on the Market in free or paid edition.

You can do that on Sense 3.5 (in the personalize menu). I can't remember whether that option was there in 3.0 or below, so it might depend on what ROM you're using at the minute.
Thanks for the replys, sorted wallpaper now onto the widgets,thanks to All

Whats the App Drawer?

I keep seeing people mention the app drawer in ICS. What is this?
Is it just where the apps are stored when you hit the central button at the bottom of the home screen?
yep that's right. coming from iphone I assume?

Come from Sense lol..
I've seen on some launchers, that if you swipe up from the bottom, theres a little "drawer" which contains a few favourited apps. Then you have your main application bit.
Hence why I thought the application drawer might be something different. Never had a pure Android rom before

Android 2.0 and older had an actual drawer that slid out, upward from the bottom of the screen. Name just stuck around.

Ah, that'll be what i'm thinking of!
I actually prefer the old draw-out drawer. Still hoping a custom launcher will implement it but no one appears to share my enthusiasm for it.

I believe the last phone with pure Android and an actual "app drawer" was the original Verizon Droid. Take a look at this video at 1:15 you see why many still refer to the "all apps" tray as the apps drawer.

Edit: to slow searching for a video of the droid...
Does anyone know what is the name of the process of App Drawer? I want to create widget with Minimalistic and don't know which activity to assign to it.
