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?

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

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
I just wanted to see some of the set-ups some people are running. I saw a thread similar to this on the General Android theme section but I wanted to see if Sapphire users were any better.
Here is my boring, yet organized desktop. The screenshots were taken using ShootMe from the Market. I'm using three windows because I don't like to spread the widgets and icons out.
I invite everyone to try out my Community Hero Mix for Cyanogen's latest 5.0.8 rom. I keep the theme going and is updated in less than 24 hours of the rom release. Including most test versions.

I got the wallpaper from an app called mabilo wallpaper from the market. It has TONS of wallpapers, from abstract designs to cars. It lets you set the wallpaper as your desktop wallpaper without saving it to your card.
One of the most have apps in my opinion.

It is running on any device operates with Cyanogen DS roms (in this case, 5.0.7/5.0.8 and running on G1 and MyTouch devices also known as Dream/Sapphire) which can be done by rooting your device and installing the latest 5.0.8 rom.

could I just adb pull the phone.apk and push it on my super e?

If SuperE is Eclair (I assume it is ) then yeah that should work.
Not overly complicated.

It sure is. However you may have to enable it in Settings otherwise you will get the Hero-ish Launcher type drawer.

You can try a fix_permissions but that's assuming that CM 5.0.8's Phone.apk file is the same as that of SuperE. If they aren't then that would probably be the problem. You can try a couple of things though:
Naturally you should do a nandroid backup before doing anything (ANYTHING!)
Try taking the phone.apk and contacts.apk file from my theme (Community Hero Mix), replace the existing files in your current rom/theme and reflash. If you still get force closes then quite obviously the files aren't compatible. Good luck!
Anyway... this is going off topic from the OP's original post. Let's get back on track otherwise I'll have to close or change the topic of this thread (don't want to do that.)
Hi at long last release time is upon us. I bring to you the Acer Liquid Metal Rom port, with the joint effort of Me,HomerSP(Team Villain) and with testing and collaboration by TheDeadCpu. Now what can i tell you about the rom, is it fast? of course it is, is the battery life good? hard to tell im always on 2g(At&t) Does it all work? No of course not. now with that said lets get on to what does not work.
You NEED CWM3.0, not the Beta Version of CWM 3.0 that only works on gingerbread, if you have that recovery and you flash my rom it will get stuck in the white htc logo, so please download the CWM recovery with rom manager, or make sure its not the Beta version.

highly doubtful, i don't think it can be done not sure, maybe the independent apk's of the launcher/framework-res can be extracted and made standalone from the main rom, dunno that's something i don't know how to do.

ah well you can try that on gingerbread, but it will most likely not work, and as for the lock screen that im sure has to be ported and modified to make a flashable update.zip( if it indeed is possible again i don't know).

Launcher will work .. kind of. It'll take forever to load, and if you touch the black bar, it'll FC. The 8 icons also won't show up. You'll be able to use the app drawer, as well as swipe left and right, but that's about it. No notification bar. Also, doesn't play well with LCD Density.
Yeessss!!!!

Thanks to all involved this is clearly the best or one of the best Rom out can't wait
Id be willing to help out and test the rom as you port it.
I was going to try and port this myself, but, have no knowledge of doing it, so most of my time would've been on just reading and learning first, haha.
Let me know, id be interesting in helping out.

Blur edition of Elocity tegra2 based software ready.
If you don't know Blur, its wellknown from motorola models and has a different layer of a launcher using resizable gadgets and other features.
Another update, with the new compiled kernel adding support for native "move2SD" missing on A7.
So what is new here,
- Flash 10.2 works now (included)
- Native Apps2SD (move to sd in application settings)
- full int/ext sdcard support (external card is /mnt/sd-ext)
- HDMI -> dual screen Mediacenter in the works (photo for now works)
- G sensor fix included (games like SpeedX works)
What is not working:
- Bluetooth cannot be activated
- Camera
Download v0.3 here
remember to unpack the zip file after download.. you find the real "Update.zip" inside zip file.
updates like other updates, put in root of sdcard and boot into recovery and install.. remember to WIPE/factory reset /data & /cache.
That sounds amazing! Are we looking at speed boost running blur?
That's awesome! Thanks so much, Dex - you're the man! ;-)

Nice! Flashed perfect! Weird seeing something other then the stock rom on my device. The main screen launcher looked a bit cheaper then the norm. Something that did stand out was the keyboard. I loved the look and feel of EloBlur's keyboard. Id love to see that moved to your mod. And im sure others would agree once they have seen it. Great work! You make havin this thing fun!!

the main screen (launcher) is not really cheap i think its a design, and remember you can resize widgets here which is a Blur feature..
but its different, yes.
coming from a 3.7" display where i had motoblur is really strange on 7"
if you have problems installing from Market, with bigger games like Samurai II, just unmount the sdcard, and games install fine.
if its from sdcard you install, then copy the apk to the internal storage first.
i know its bit complex, but it works

for now, just a few.. but also problems like some games download does not work as kernel has no real loopback device support (Froyo 2.2 native function)
but it has a fat browser, support sdcard/usb/internal storage management.
support re-sizable widgets?..
and some of the other Blur functions known from Blur devices..
The hype on this really seems to be the re-sizable widgets. Having never owned a blur device I really have no point of reference, but wouldn't running ADW Launcher really give the same effect without the unfortunate side effect of more stuff not working?
FYI: re-sizable widgets does happen to be one of my favorite features of ADW Launcher

i never tried adw, as my intial impression was not good, so i never used it again, don't know how it works today.
but i guess its somehow comparable but there are differences.. which makes blur a different product..
security warning in blur when trying to install app?
I installed blur but when I try to install app from sdcard or dropbox it wont let me. I get security message and when I press ok it drops me out of install. How do you get around this or allow installs from other sources?
thanks ninetoes
a reboot solves it
a little update,
i tried to include the "ubuntu" partition for webtop and see if it worked , to run the hdmi based desktop solution, but its not working well.
seems the drivers for hdmi (nvrm pack) are recoded to work with the X environment, as i cannot get hdmi to show me anything.
but the idea seems good, would be great to have ubuntu running using X.. i will see if i can use their initial steps to use X in another way.
i finally got flashplayer 10.2 working on this edition as well.. and its using the patched 10.2 with hulu support..
ill post an update, when its ready..
still got "install 2 sdcard" isssues, as no kernel has the support for it.
but most does work.
I like nova launcher and all, but I'd really like to be able to use one of the original pull up app drawer, and if it could have some of the Cm theming as well, that would be great. I just kind of miss having it there, and would like it around just because I lived with it for years on my g1 and kind of liked how it worked.
Not exactly what your looking for but if you set it up right (just a single app drawer button activated from the bottom of the screen only) you could achieve something similar:

yeah...I'm really thinking something like a recompiled version of the android 1.6 stock launcher with an allowance for install on devices with 4.4. If someone wants to attempt this, I think the source code is downloadable from here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Launcher/ but I don't know how modifying it would work
I'm still looking for one...isn't there source code that someone could modify and compile?
If I provide the source for the 1.6 launcher, would someone compile it for me?

idk why you want to use the 1.6 launcher or 2.2.
there are faster and more optimized launchers out that. i.e Nova Prime for KK
