[Q] Today in History Widget on Launcher Pro?

I know it's an HTC widget, but is there any way to use the "Today in History" widget on Launcher pro? I'm kind of a hitsory buff and love this thing

Nope, sorry. Only works when using Sense.

Damn, I was really hoping there was a way to get around this, oh well. Thanks.

The dev this on his page on Jan 20th:
Look out for another update soon (maybe next week?) with a cool new addition for LauncherPro Plus users!

Still, though, I haven't seen the cool new addition that he might have been referring to with an update. I'm a new purchaser of LP and might be completely out of line but it seems a little bit like dangling a carrot.

I have a feeling LP is brewing up some really good stuff, it's been quite awhile since the last update.

[WP7] Battery Percent Indicator

a tool using the direct arm dll that fiinix @ XDA wrote in DllImport.
HTC Battery Tool does it with all sorts of info, this one is just simple, to the point.
I did this almost a month ago to date and had it as a live tile. I use it ALL THE TIME so I thought I would pass it along to all the fellow side loaders on here.
enjoy it, use it or whatever
thanks:
fiinix @ XDA
if you already use a battery percentage notification, tell me which one below?
thanks in advance, hope this helps someone as it has helped me.
Code:
edit: added cleaner NoDo_nation version because, who am I kidding anyway.

Very interest, I use this one till now and it work top.
I will tray out your Battery-Tool and report. Thanks.
Edit: Work like it have to work, good making and no conflict with the PhoneRestartTool with the code/dll from fiinix.

Great work on this!

Lovely, that's very nice.
Do you thinkt it'd be possible to add a live tile to that?
I know a lot of people are already sick of having to many of them but I could still use a couple more and one of them I'd like to be something like this

I've been experimenting a LOT with live tiles -- the result of which I am not happy with.
It is a bit of a catch22 because of the way you need to subscribe the live tile. I've short-fused the subscription whereas I can get a live tile update direct from code but the catch22 is the fact that the program has to run first to do it.
So what you end up with is a stale tile all the time. I'm not out of options quite yet but without running on a true background thread or the like, it almost looks like a "stalemate" -- no pun, well, whatever.

As it should be until we get Mango. Not much in the way of multitasking that works atm.

You need jaxbot hack enabled and then still hope it will be able to push trough in the background.
Its far from reliable and will probably drain battery fast since there is no way to manage tasks yet, all tasks keep running in the background if you dont close them by pressing the back button (but you also should not kill the battery app ofcourse) which is indeed pretty much impossible, certainly for the average user to manage. You can juts better swipe down the task bar or just open the app

Nice job. Using the NoDo version.

Does this one fix the conflicts with other apps that this one has? I know both use the dll import project which is why I ask. I tried the previous one for a few days but found it caused severe problems with the Weather Channel app and the TouchXperience app. They wouldn't load after checking the battery app. I will give it a run through and see how it works out.

It should not cause problems -- I use the Weather Channel app and also the TouchXperience app and have not noticed any conflicts of any sort. If you discover them, I have the source code open and ready to modify at any time.
Thanks in advance to all the comments and thanks in my first post!
ps. I had someone ask me if I could add a voice that spoke the percentage. I can. If I get enough people interested in the feature, I could probably have it done in an hour. Let me know if this is something that would set this app apart from the others or just unnecessary junk?

Yes, that would definitely.

Any way I can see mA usage? Trying to crack down on battery usage... Nodo user here btw.

At the moment, you would only see rate of percentage decrease because mA values are not available through any means I've researched up to this point. Also, it would have to get thrown on a background thread - which makes the problem two-fold.
on top of the problems, a percentage decrease wouldn't be very accurate for several reasons.
I'll keep looking around however!

So far so good. I am honestly still teaching myself how phone 7 does it's coding being a amateur coder, but only thing I can guess is something in common with the original battery app and those to programs. I can duplicate it all day long with that one. With yours I had it happen one time. I opened the battery app. Then attempted to load either Weather channel or TouchXperience and the latter two apps would load then immediately shut down. I have yet to have it happen again with yours so good work!

This could be cool, but I do like just the quick glance. Something I would like maybe is the ability to toggle an actual image with the percentage, but that's really just for visual sake. As it stands your app does what it's supposed to do and I like that.

[Q] 3-page wallpaper resolution?

So, if you have only 2 pages on your main screen on the HOX, and use wallpapers like these, you'll see that each word will fit each screen (so, on screen 1 you'll have the word "FAVS", and on the 2nd screen you'll have "HOME").
Is there any way to do this for 3 pages? I wanted a "FAVS", "GAMES" and "HOME" wallpaper, but every way I put it, the words keep overlapping to other pages (for instance, in the middle "GAMES" page, you would see the S from "FAVS").
Thanks in advance.

Make it 4, then. How would I do it? Without having the words overlap the other pages, what would the resolution and disposition of the words be?
Is this actually do-able?

You could try to make a widget on every page you need which says "favs" or whatever using uccw.
That way the wallpaper would onmy be a background.

Heh I thought of that just as I refreshed the page to read your comment.
But still, would be nice to be able to do stuff like that in the wallpaper.
For now I'll stick with the widgets then, but if someone actually knows how to do a wallpaper with any number of pages (except 2, that one's easy) that don't overlap each other, please share!

So I just tried that, and that's EXACTLY what I wanted. Thing is, it's laggy when moving between pages.
I've even changed the "Maximum Memory Usage" setting to "Unlimited", to no avail.
Any non-laggy alternatives?

Changed the animation to "Crossfade", not exactly what I wanted but looks okay.
Anwyay, if anyone has any other suggestions, I'm stil open.

Root Explorer Help

Maybe cause this is my first LG, but usually when I owned Sammys I would go to system/app to find everything there (processes every single app) and it only shows me limited apps and NO processes. TiBu seems to mess up when I delete from there.

Did you also check system/priv-app?

Think I remember reading that you did not initially remove any Chinese apps but put them in a folder titled not used (or something like that). Still the same today?

Interesting, especially as your video showing use of third party launchers proved successful. Doesn't seem to fit with the experience of some others. Looking forward to playing with mine from Wonda next week

What launcher you running?
