[Q] How to increase number of rows - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way or tweak to increase number of rows or columns in DHD Sense? I didn't find that option in Settings. I mean something similar you can do using ADW Launcher. DHD screen is big, having just 4x4 icon number is ridiculous. Even if you push all apps button, you can see 5 rows already on the screen.
ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro is not a solutions for me, as then you need to look for various alternative widgets and other stuff, that is already so nicely designed within Sense.
Any clue?

Thanks for prompt answer. It is interesting concept (on the pictures it is used with ADW Launcher) which I can get into during some more creative mood ...Anyway it doesn't have to be solved now (I guess this issue could be one of the reasons ADW and Launcher Pro were ever made), but small neat app just asking something like 4x5 or 5x5 or 6x5, etc... would be so cool.

Decided to use SIMI folders. Not exactly what I was looking for, but still easy and elegant solution.

Well, it is system information tool, I am not looking for such a stuff, need desktop adjustment tool/organizer within Sense UI.

Well, here is some update on solutions which I found in the meantime:
1. this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915472 is exactly what I was looking for, though installation instructions are not easy to follow.
2 Going to try this one http://h9kdroid.com/multicon/, no brainer.

LauncherPro Beta

Has anyone tried this??
It's in the top free downloads on the market, and I definitely recommend it!
It has the fly in effect when you open/close an app (a la iPhone) which makes everything feel so much more fluid.
Obviously HTC widgets don't work which is a shame, and its a little buggy being a beta, but you should try it!
Just downloaded it to give it a try. I like it.
The only downside is there is no choice of what to put on the bottom bar. I don't use the people or stock messaging app. If I could change them I'd probably use this over helix 2.
Busy trying it out now - it's extremely quick. I think I'll keep using it for a while, see how it goes.

The standard helix is actually better then this one. Especially in speed and customization

agree,
the only thing thats stopping me from using a launcher is no htc widgets and not being able to customize the grid of icons on the desktop so 4v4 only :<

how can you change the grid of icons in HTC Desire to more than 4 icons ???
Also i think that the Sense launcher is by far the smoothest and the best so far. nothing can beat it in speed, fluencity and HTC widgets.

[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

Thanks for quick answer but I dont need to change app drawer Need something for homescreen
Not sure but if you could figure out what the intent is to call rosie (sense app drawer) then you could possibly create a LauncherPro shortcut to open it? Any smali gods out there know if this would be possible?

That's pretty much exactly what I am doing. I use Apex Launcher as my launcher, but I have a shortcut created by xShortcuts that launches Rosie for the photo widget. Unfortunately, I don't think you can call a specific screen - you can only call the launcher itself.

Yup that's the way it is possible but man that's pretty much time you loose by opening sense just for having these sense widgets.
And you have 2 launchers running then since sense will be only killed when you reboot again.
Dunno for what you want that sense widgets but I would look at play store and see if there is a alternative widget which maybe has even a themeable skin?!

I've been looking for a replacement widget for the HTC album widget for a couple years now and have never found anything. If anyone around here knows of one, I'd love to use it!

I used Go Launcher for a while, and it has great Messaging and Email widgets... really everything Sense has, EXCEPT the photo widget.

Well my last tip for you is launcher pro.
There has been a launcher pro which was skinned like sense. But dunno if it had that widget...
There was a Rom for the hd2 that's why I know that one.
