[Q] Launcher Pro and Desktop visualizer - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so I have Launcher Pro + and have started to use Desktop Visualizer to custom set text icons. Both apps together are amazing and have a great value. The one thing I have found is on one of the icons i have made, is the icon picture keeps going back to the default. And its only one of them with a certain program, Sound hound.
Has anyone else had this problem? Its bizarre

How can I disable/get rid of clock weather animation. Clear lag when starting on home

Hey Everyone.
I Have disabled my animation background with a reg edit, but I am trying to get rid of the animation on the clock, or remove it all together.
Why?
Well I am using Energy Rom (gtx) and I noticed that it's not the background animation that is lagging things, it's the clock animation.
If i click on another tab like messages, then use the slider its nice and smooth, if you tap home then use it, its laggy.
If you slide the clock out of your home view, then use the slider it will be smooth.
I have looked all over...only found wallpaper/weather animation
any direction is appreciated (if it's possible)
thanks
I don't know for the stock Sense home tab, but you can disable it in co0kie's home tab (I'm using version 1.8.0, don't know about the older versions), there are two registry keys under
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila
called
Co0kie.Clock.DisableoubleFlip and Co0kie.Clock.DisableMinuteFlip. I set both value to 1, restart Sense, and no more annoying clock animation (I always hated it when it showed 23h58, then 23h59, then 00h59 and finally 00h00...)

Extra Quick settings

ok so im on RC2 Going green SENSE 3.0 rom and i have looked everywhere for a zip to get extra quick settings (media vol, flashlight, ect.)
so if anyone has a suggestion it would be very helpful
also one more thing
im looking for a skin (or just a rom sense rom)that has its own custom icons for things like the messaging and camera apps cuz i hate how the sense icons look (some of them cant change with something like better cut)
please and thanks
I can't really answer your question, but use Desktop Visualizer instead of BetterCut. BetterCut is awful, I regret buying it. Desktop Visualizer is free, it's worth a shot
If you use the 1×1 widget with Desktop Visualizer instead of a shortcut, the system cannot change it.

Launcher7 and widgets

Hello everybody,
I use Launcher7 on my SGS2. I know about most other launchers, and yes I know they support widgets way better, but I really like Launcher7's style. The only thing I am having a hard time with, is finding widgets that are compatible with this launcher / that fit in the tiles while still being readable.
Does anyone know some widgets that work well with this launcher? For now, I have found that (with a little bit of patience) the following widgets work great (next to the widgets provided within the launcher):
* Animated widget pro
* Advanced clock pro
* Google (play) music
I would love to hear from other Launcher7-users about other widgets that work for you! Please, do not post messages about other launchers, I am fully aware about their existence!
you need to experiment I have not a significant issue w/ widgets on L7.
Click on special tiles, select widget, the you get options menu:
1
2
full screen
Experiment! 1 w/ full screen
2 w/ full scree
2 alone
1 alone etc
this process gives you diff size tiles.
Some large clock widgets may be a little off I agree
good luck

Edit stock widget sizes for 5x4 grid?

I'm having some issues getting stock widgets to look right on my Go Launcher home screen.
The problem is that when I change the icon grid to 5x4 in Go Launcher, most of the default android widgets look funny. For instance, the stock media player widget cuts off at the bottom. Instead of having the media controls plus one or two songs from the playlist, it only displays one song and cuts off half of the second.
How can I solve this? I think I need to edit the widget size by unpacking the apk, but I'm not exactly sure how. Any ideas?
I like the stock media player, and would really rather not switch.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try a different launcher you could go apex or holo launcher i have holo no problems yet.... those launchers let you freely move the widget sizes.

[Q] Google Experience Launcher and Wallpapers

I'm currently using GEL and just have one homescreen/pane.
When I set the wallpaper to a custom image, it seems to be setting my home screen to the left most pane and not centered, like when I choose one of the default wallpapers that comes with the launcher. Any ideas?
The alternative I found was to add widgets so that I can get 5 home screens, and then the default homescreen is finally centered. But I feel it defeats the purpose.
