[Q] Homescreen 'snap-to-grid'

This question has been asked on a few other threads a while a go but there's never been a definitive answer ...
Is there any way to reduce the size of, or remove, the home screen 'snap-to-grid'?
A hell of a lot of screen space is wasted because it's so large
You will need to use an alternative launcher. Launcher Pro will allow you to do this, and its free.

What widget do you lose with launcher pro?
Only the HTC Sense ones or?
Also if you switch to launcher pro how do you stop htc sense from starting up?
Get a task manager that shows all apps and processes running. Once you install LauncherPro, press the home button and set the default homescreen you want. Then, kill the HTC processes and it won't load again in the background. Once every rebot do this, or set htc Sense as an auto-kill process only that, it should to the trick. Alternate options include imstalling a non-sense rom eg Cyanogen Mod or a senseless series rom. Hope I helped

[Q] Connectivity bar?

I don't quite know what the thing is called. That's basically my question:
Can the pull-down connectivity bar at the top that allows you to quickly turn on or off wifi, Bluetooth and GPS as well as switch between vibration and ring tone be installed on a Sense ROM?
I've encountered it on CyanogenMod 6.1.1 and rather liked it. Unfortunately, I prefer some of the HTC Sense functionality, so I switched back to the stock ROM (after learning how to uninstall uninstallable apps, that is ). But the stock does not have this bar. Where it would normaly be, there is only my network provider's name and a delete button for the messages.
How do I get this functionality back?
Regards and thank you,
it's built into the framework of a rom. If you want the feature then I suggest you install a rom with it or just use the power widget thing
Seriously? The only option is a widget? That's sad.
Afraid so, the widget notification bar thing is one of the tweaks and features Cyanogen put in CM. It is quite handy.
Back when I had my Evo there were devs making flashable zips for notification pull down controls for this so I'd assume they're around for the G2 as well. On the Evo it required a Deodexed ROM though so you might as well just flash one that already has em in it at that rate.
Hmmm... I'm just warming up to the Virtuous ROM so I don't think using Cyanogen again will be an option.
Ah, what the heck, whether I pull down the menu or scroll to the right once doesn't matter much, does it .
Thanks for the replies .

[Q] How do I MOD a piece of an exsisting ROM?

Hi,
I'm wondering if someone could help me with a MOD'ing question/request. I am running the Sprint Lovers ROM (which I just love) but there is one thing that I'd like to change...
This ROM is pretty much stock, aside from a few changes (very good ones actually), but I just can't stand the layout for the launcher/dock bar. Basically, I want to remap the buttons from APP DRAWER/PHONE/ADD+ to PHONE/APP DRAWER/MESSAGES.
There is an .apk based on the LauncherPro home replacement app which allows the user to do exactly what I'm wanting to do; however, I want the changes to be made at a permanent level (and I really like the page slider thing that slides smoothly over the hump as opposed to the one from the LauncherPro version). I don't want to use a home replacement app.
I've seen some MOD's that allow the user to flash a file which will make similar changes but the MOD's I've found do not match exactly what I'm looking to do - so I'm curious to know how I can go about getting the desired results with as little pain as possible, lol.
**update** Would it be possible to extract the installed "launcher" and simply replace it with the LP SENSE UI as the built in "launcer" ?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know of a standalone one, but IceColdSandwich automatically has it.

How to transfer some ROM options into another ROM

Hey people
so I switched between some ROMs the last month and cant really decide on which one to stay...
the perfect match would be a smart combination of some...
for example:
I much use the SWIPE Android AOSP Keyboard on CM10,1 that allows me to use SWIPE in hebrew which i use frequently. Its the only ROM where I found this till now.
But in CM10.1 is navbar customization missing, for example i like to use the kill app function on long press the back button which can be found on Xylon or XenonHD.
So the question is if i can copy the CM10.1 Keyboard to Xylon/XenonHD - or the kill app on long press function into CM10.1
thank you
Use a 4.2 keyboard apk with Xylon/Xenon.
I dont get it. I am on 4.2.1 and the original android Keyboard apk doesnt allow SWIPE in hebrew. It's a CM10.1 mod or something like this.
Would backing up the keyboard with Titanium Backup do the job? Or would I just keeping getting Errors?
You can try that. Worst case scenario you just un install it with TB.
I am not running CM currently to verify this, but there is an option for "Kill App Back Button" in developers options in my current ROM.
