Quick question on sense - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone figured out if there is a way to reduce the number of home screens on sense to say, 3? I want to use sense but I love this feature from other home launcher replacements.

Nope i think it would require a lot of coding because the home screen previews wouldn't show up right and the rosie page indicator would go all the way to the far left where there are no pages..a lot of problems..etc...

Haha Joel figures you'd be the one to get back on me with this thanks for checking that out. I was still hoping.

[Q] is there a mod for this?

So on the EVO (duh) how it has the 7 screens you can scroll through,(obv) is there a way to reduce it just to three screens? Me having the extra screens gets annoying... Thanks for your hAlp!
If you are using stock sense that would be a negative.
If you are using a different launcher like LauncherPro or ADW, this is possible.
Hope that helps.

If you have Widgets and icons on only 3 screens.. I don't think the other 4 really take up anything
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

Yeah, i use ADW. I personally like to add and remove pages based upon what I would like my wallpaper look like on my lock screen. It sounds crazy but when you add pages to the left or right of your home scree, it shifts the picture just a little. Thats the only reason I'd think the extra pages would be annoying or you'd want to modify them
thanks for your halp everyone. settled with adw...
What those guys said. Lol. The peer pressure.
I do understand what you mean though. I only use one maybe two screens. I tries to make this mod a few months ago but couldn't get it to work. I haven't tried since but I've learned quite a bit since then. Maybe I will revisit this project.

[APP] Pure Breeze Launcher by Samsung

Here's the Samsung made launcher " Pure Breeze " they offer two version lite and full.

I dislike only one thing about it, the bubbles around the apps in the app drawer.

Me too, I hope this a beta launcher they should make it more sense like with a little bit touchwiz. And maybe a couple of screen transitions, vertical cube effect would look nice for the app drawer.

Try clearing the defaults on the launcher you're on in settings > apps > manage apps. Then just hit the home button and you should have the option to select the launcher.
Use an app called home switcher ... Free on market.

Agreed as well. The launcher looks extremely outdated and really ugly.
I liked it. Needs way more customization. It has no graphical acceleration though. Until they put that in it will be a fail in my book. Might as well use sense capped at 30fps.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Not a good software. I saw the screenshots and thought the 'minimalist' interface and design would be great but as it turned out, the launcher was slow, buggy and had absolutely no customization features (aside from changing the tab colors). The launcher felt sluggish going back to the main home screen and appeared to have no graphical acceleration. I had to eventually turn off the animation to get acceptable performance.
My advice? Avoid. Btw, I did not get a refund.
Definitely not usable in its current form. Its slow - if it was smooth as butter I would have kept it installed for at least a few days to try it out.
Also if they don't make this free for Samsung handsets I think that would be really crappy of them.

SPB Shell 3d

Im looking for the SPB Shell 3d app, but im trying to get it for free. I tried a bunch of .apk files on 4Shared and all of them say "you have to purchase the app" is there a free working version of this app?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
That app is paid only. There is no free version.

You will find a lot of apk's saying its a cracked version, but they won't work for it. I bought it, but rarely ever use it. If it had more options to play with, then I probably would.
The concept of it is great BUT the UI design is just plain ugly. I would like to theme it myself though.
SPB Shell is cool in concept & design but for me at least, cumbersome in usability & lacking all around in user friendliness.
I use daily, but definitely lacking in options. Biggest so far is no option to increase number of rows and columns, and zero options for app drawer.

ssLauncher is definitely the most unique of the bunch. There is still one bug the developer is working on fixing and that is clock widgets are not updating. Besides that everything else had been pretty solid with it.
On ssLauncher, are you able to add effects like on GoLauncher?

There in effect that flips the pages like a magazine...The main thing with ssLauncher is that it gives you the ability to pretty much put anything, anywhere on the screen. If you want something more organized with a lot of screen transition animations, the other launchers would work better for you.

Hey, I tought it might help to tell people how to take a screenshot. Press home and lock keys at the same time.
Sorry, it just took me actually going to the samsung site to figure it out! And I thought I would spare someone the trouble.

Yes but certain Roms do not have the screen shot app installed as they consider it bloatware so if it does not work (when pressed you hear a camera shutter sound) if no sound it does not work on your Rom. No worries you can then install the APK to get it back up and running. I think Some people posted it.

[REQUEST] Blinkfeed Widget

Hi I don't know if it was asked before but I would really like to see a Blinkfeed Widget. I used the "Blinkfeed App" Mod a bit and thought it would be great if I could put Blinkfeed at a Page and look it up from there. I don't know how possible this is so please don't hate me... I'm no developer. It's just an idea I thought may be good

Hate to stomp on your idea but it's not gonna happen unless HTC makes it.
They haven't even figured out how to disable it, so making it a standalone widget would be much more difficult

With "they" he refers to the rom developers/chefs.
And indeed they Blinkfeed cannot be removed (YET)
Some devlopers are actually trying to remove it (I heard team venom had it partially removed)
Though none have been completely succesfull yet..
For now all we can do is wait.
There is however a way not to use the blinkfeed as your homescreen in every sense rom.. just pinch out and select any other screen you want as a homescreen, then pull it to the "" set as homescreen" text and release
This effectively makes the other scren your sense homescreen and makes your blinkfeed seem like a widget..
There is already a blinkfeed widget, it's stuck on the left page though.

Try Pulse it has a widget, closest you can get.
