A couple of days ago there was a post about a way to clean up the widget selection screen, so that widgets with multiple options would be grouped together and then you would expand them to see all the options. For example a widget like Elixir which has 16x possible combinations would appears as just one option until you expanded it.
Long story short I meant to come back to try it, but I can't seem to find the post anymore. I've gone through this thread to about the beginning of December, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone know which post I'm referring to?
Thank-you.

Ok, im not sure how this would be categorized but Ill describe it and maybe someone can make it, im not a dev so I can't.
Individual wallpapers for each home screen, like for the standard android interface there are 3 home screens, and when you swipe to the next one the wallpaper just moves a little bit depending on which way you swiped.
What Im thinking of is when you swipe to the next home screen the wallpaper changes. Fades in degrees as the home screen is changing to the next slide, so if you swipe slowly it fades as slowly as you are swiping.
I think it would be more of an addon for a home replacement, but im not sure how possible this would be or if even at all. So if someone knows about this stuff let me know. Or if something like this already exists please let me know as well.
just performed a quick google search and discovered this app listed on another forum site:
http://www.sweeterhome.com/
Called Sweeter Home and should be able to use it to achieve what your wanting!

Ill have to try it out and mess with it for a while, I remember I used sweeterhome a long time ago when the first one was in beta. Was kinda slow maybe they made it faster.
Playing with the Desire rom on my HTC HD2 and have hit some questions that I need to google for answers. I'm hoping for some help to see what normal is & what can be tweaked & so on.
- When my device is off and I get a sms page, I get a sound notification & a vibration - but the screen doesn't turn on. Is this normal or a bug in the way I am using the rom on my HD2?
- When I turn on the device, on the lock screen I see a bit of the missed page - but no way I can see to jump to the sms message. I can just unlock the phone & manually go see what it was. Would like a 1-step solution. This normal?
- The hardware buttons at the bottom of my device can light up (and do in Windows Mobile) but not running Droid. Once again, dunno if it's a bug in the way I'm using Droid or if the Desire simply doesn't have light up hardware buttons.
- I check a few web pages daily for WinMo news & new apps. Anyone have recommendations of must read Android web pages?
I know I had some others that I've forgotten already.
I will be researching these questions myself (as 3 kids 3 & under permit) & if I find answers I will post them myself. Thanks for your time.
First two are normal and you just need to slide down the notifications tray at the top to get to messages.

Thanks. Much better then trying to figure out a bug.
Good time for me to look into lock screen replacements. Any suggestions?
Edit:
Made this my research project of the night - going to test out WidgetLocker Lockscreen.
Program launcher question - I dislike the big list of programs all mixed together. I'd like to make a folder/subfolder structure so I click on the main button, then pick games (possibly then breaking it down into game types, etc).
Are their apps that replace the program launcher portion without replacing the whole home screen?
If not, how about a program that is just a stand alone launcher? IE - I run the program from a shortcut & get the feature I'm looking for?
Found one that does it perfectly - 'Folder Organizer'
Also like the WidgetLocker lockscreen. Love using the Photo Gallery widgets that cycle through pix every 30 minutes.
Little by little I'm getting there.
I took me a while to get used to it too but you have to adopt the homescreens for your favourite apps where you can have folders, icons, widgets, and shortcuts. I only ever dive into the app drawer for the odd app I rarely used but like Calculator.
If you click Menu > List it'll alphabetise it and you can scroll using the bar too!
Just want to give a couple of suggestions for sites to check out to keep up-to-date on Android news.
www.engadget.com - Sure, they cover a vast number of topics but I find that they report a lot of the top Android news as well. Plus, it's always good to stay informed with other tech stuff.
www.pocketnow.com - These guys used to be strictly a Windows Mobile site. But they've since expanded their coverage to include Android and Apple stuff. Lots of good videos on their youtube channel.
www.androidcentral.com - Strictly Android-only site. They give decent App recommendations from time to time.
Quick question - when I pull the power to my phone (say after charging @ night) - it turns on! Any setting to keep it from turning itself on when I pull the power out?
I've never had it turn on if it was off!
Hi, first post.
I'm having trouble pinpointing exactly what is causing this problem on my GN (CDMA/LTE).
When I press the "apps drawer" icon, all my widgets and icons produce this follow-up black outlining. It's not so noticeable on icons and most widgets; however, when you look at the black-transparent calendar, it produces this black rectangular box. Upon rebooting the phone, the problem doesn't seem to appear for the first few seconds but eventually does appear.
I tried looking around for the issue, but couldn't find the solution to it because I was not sure exactly how to describe the problem. So sorry if this was already answered
I am running a custom rom, kernel, and launcher.
They are:
AOKP (toro) - milestone 1
Nova Launcher - beta 8
franco.Kernel - nightly #10
I have a feeling that it is due to the Nova Launcher as changing some settings makes the problem disappear for the first few seconds (and then reappear).
A solution to the problem would be great too! Thank you!
Found out that using the "news" widget whether it's from a standalone news widget or the weather+news widget causes the slow choppy, outlining effect.
How to still use it without the effect, I'm not sure.
think your gonna need to post some pictures here, i honestly can't figure out what your trying to describe.
press power and volume down to take a screenshot, or use a camera and post it.
I've searched all over and can't find info on this...
I'm new to this, but was able to successfully get Codename Android running on my phone without a problem (started with 1.2, then 1.3.2, and now 1.3.3). I did all the wipes and factory resets prior to upgrading each time but I've never been able to get 5 columns to appear on my homescreens despite selecting it in the options. Is anyone else having this problem?
BTW, this is the first ROM I tried and love it. If I can get this column thing squared away, it would be even better.

Whoops! my bad thats rows....Do you have nova launcher installed? you prolly do as i think most of the custom roms come with it....Look for a app called (nova settings) if you cant find it hold down on your homescreen till you see a popup and select (nova actions) then select (nova settings) it will now be on your desktop so select it and go under (homescreen) then (desktop grid) change columns to 5 and you should be good to go...i just did it and it worked perfectly
Thanks for reply. I've heard of nova but was hoping i could make CNA do it since it is advertised as a feature. I will try nova
Edit: tried nova but prefer CNA launcher. So, if anyone can help get 5 columns?
I have a 5 row 5 column layout and I'm using ADWLauncher EX.

Use nova. They are all based off the stock launcher anyways in terms of looks and functionality. Any difference you see is due to options you have set. The fact is nova is the most versatile.
Hi all, I've used this forum for ages but never started a thread -hopefully it's in the right place (there's [APP] posts all over).
I've been developing an app which renders a QlockTwo style clock tile and updates every minute. It's not finished, but I though I'd start a thread and see if anyone is interested in a copy once I've finished it?
It's basically this on a tile (UK/English): qlocktwo.com
It works well and updates the tile as the time changes (until the phone enters battery saver, then it'll stop background agents).
It each time the background agent fires, it uses ScheduledActionService.LaunchForTest to schedule another invoke in 60 seconds - not great, but seems to work well and updates correctly.
Happy to post the XAP or code when complete if people are interested (gimme a couple of weeks). Should have waited to post this until I grabbed a screenshot, but I'll add one tonight.
UPDATE
Ok, that's enough interest to get me moving - v0.1 complete! I've uploaded a XAP file here (can't post links yet - so remove spaces!): www . deggle . com / transfer / Qlock.xap
I think that's all that needed for it to work - just pin the app, then run it. Each run of the app sets up/refreshes the background agent, and forces a refresh of the tile.
I guess it would make sense for the app, when opened to show a large version of the Qlock full screen - I'll work on that.
If you rename the .XAP to .CAB (and back after) you may be able to edit the QlockA.png and QlockB.png to change the background colour if you fancy (currently white on black). Eventually I'll add an option in the software to change this on the fly. Let me know your thoughts!
Tim
Interested!

really intrested!

I´m also interested
bug in 24hrs format?
now it shows me "It is a quarter to ".. without the last word...
yeah is it a nice tile
is there multilingual in future?
Interest
This makes a good looking tile; very interested in possible updates
i like this app! if you need any help translating to dutch in the future, give me a ring
Wow this is awesome ,I love it !! Any chance to increase the font size , or increase the tile size to a bar (like for media) then maybe making the fonts bigger? I know its new and I appreciate your work this is nice!
You might get with Jaxbot in Development and see if you can incorpoarte this into the start up screen ,now that would be sweet!
I have been waiting for forever for the Qlocktwo W wristwatch to come out!
Oh how awesome it would be to have this on my lock screen...
Impressive start! As others suggested, lock screen implementation will be cool.
Good work!
How do you use it? I just installed it and when I launch it all it does is gives me a black screen that says qlock and that's it; no opptions or settings. Am I doing something wrong?
---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------
Okay, got it working now.Hopefuly it will have more opptions in future versions. Also is wide tile possible, the letters are so tiny on my Trophy.
Works fine on my Focus Flash, but when I try to acces to the application, the only thing that I can see is the name of the application with any options.
If you wanna you can add this Screenshot of the application Running
