What I meen by that is for the new Rom for Droid incredible with the ring for the lock screen 3.0? Idk
But I was wondering if it would be hard to take things out of it?
Like I think that app draw looks like booty but Idk anything about Rom making/editing and I don't want to bother any devs lol
So would this be hard for someone new?

I'm not really sure what you're asking but it isn't difficult to take things like apps out of a rom, but if you're talking about changing the appearance of it (as in themeing) that can be trickier. You should be able to change what you need with a different launcher or themes, mods, etc.
He does not like the pages in the app drawer and wishes to know if it is hard/possible to remove parts of a rom such as the app drawer. My suggestion is that he looks at one of the alternate launchers like launcher pro. It doesn't seem that hard but it also seems like to remove things like the rosie will cause fc and boot loops.

+1 Go with one of the different launcher in the market. They're very easy to use and should give you all that you need.

So in my quest to be able to use Sense instead of a Launcher, I realize that there are only 2 things I need: A larger workspace and a five button Rosie.
Has anyone looked into whether or not this is possible, any chance of this dream becoming reality?

Thread moved to Q&A.
Bump, cause I would pay to have this! It would make the best of both worlds
Sense and a remappable 5 button rosie
Also bumping. This would be sweet.
Have you taken a look at some of the Sense-Roms? Some times they have mods that you can add to change the rosie. Ava has a few from the past that I used to use.
I know Warm allows for remapping, but no 5-button.
Sent from my little black box using XDA App
I am pretty sure that there aren't any Sense 5 button Rosies unless you go with an app like Launcher Pro. CM7 offers a full 5 without a launcher app though.
I have created quite a few different rosies but never could get a 5 button to work

Yup, hence the request. Someone would have to figure out how to hack Rosie and make her have 5 buttons.
I looked into it, but it's WAY over my technical ability.

I thought CM7 has ADW built in as the launcher. So it's not really doing it without a 3rd party launcher app.
Yeah I would REALLY like this as well. . . . . .
Has anyone found any way to do this yet? I would give someone my first child for a five-button Rosie...

Indeed! It's a solid sense 3.0 with the 5-button rosie that I believe can be changed just like in ADW or any other launcher
This may be kind of stupid... =/
But
Can someone help me get a Gingerbread launcher as fast as the one from the Ultimate Droid Rom...
I would keep the Ultimate Droid Rom one except it keeps force closing on me
And by fast I mean when I click the launcher it snaps open my apps
With other 2.3 launchers when I click the launcher it takes its time lol
I'm currently using this CM7 stock GB Launcher ( http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...uncher-cm7-gb-mod-30/page__unlockUserAgent__1 )
Any help?? Sorry and thanks =/
So you're saying that the launcher is too slow to load coming back from an app or switching orientations?
What's your clock speed at? how many widgets/etc. do you have on your homescreen?
It really comes down to how taxing loading the homscreen is and what else your phone is doing when loading the screen.
I'm running CM7 with the stock GB launcher and there are delays sometimes after being in an app for a long time, but that occurs with any launcher. I see generally extremely great performance.

No u got my question wrong lol sorry if u didn't understand but what I mean is the time it takes to get from your home screen to ur app drawer when u click the app drawer button... if u used Ultimate Droid Rom it gets to the apps in a snap but with CM7 it takes its little time -_- lol

OH. Hmm. Like I said CM7 with the stock GB launcher going from the homescreen to the app drawer is instant with no lag, and vice versa... Have you messed around with your transition speed and animations preferences at all that could have slowed it down?
CM7 doesn't use the stock launcher unless you install it, it uses an open source one, called ADW. The ADW launcher for me did have some slow downs going to the app drawer and back, and general sluggishness in different places.
Have you tried installing a stock launcher on CM7? Or even a different launcher like Launcher Pro?

I installed the stock CM7 GingerBread Launcher.... I know it doesn't have any lag! It works fine from me! I think my question is too confusing lol thanks for trying to help though =) I appreciate it!
I know exactly what you're talking about as i'm using a mish mash of UD and CM on my vibrant right now.
As far as mod'ing a stock GB laucher to act like UD's, you'd probably have to do some xml edits with it's transitions i'm guessing. I just use the laucher2apk from the UD rom, even though it gives me FC's sometimes i'm willing to work with it.
Same problem.
I know EXACTLY what you mean. I have the same problem with stock GB launcher on CM.
Launcher and App Drawer are snappy, usually ... but just every now and then, it takes AGES to get to the App Drawer.
I'm thinking this maybe has something to do with having too much apps, and App Drawer getting cut loose from memory????
Anyways, looking for a solution :'(
Stock launcher on the recent tmo leak works great

Hi all,
How many of you here are using Apex Launcher/Pro on your HOX?
How do you find it? I like Sense but I'm thinking of fiddling with a different launcher.
Does Apex LAuncher allow Landscape Home Screens?
If I don't like it I can just uninstall it right? Also I'm guessing I don't need to be r00ted to use the launcher...
Thanks all,

It does have landscape support - you have to go: Apex Settings - Behaviour Settings - Screen Orientation - Auto-rotate.

How exactly does this work then? Does it take over the sense totally? IE... When I turn my phone on I am booted in to this and when I lock it etc.. etc.. or do I have to open it each time I want to use it?
Sorry to sound a little dumb on this but I am a complete newby to android.

You can choose a default launcher to choose from. I've just chosen Apex Launcher... I still have the standard lockring on my lockscreen...
You can reset the default launcher in Apex Launcher settings. I'm still kinda new to this myself so I'm not too sure on all the in's-and-out's.

Okay so when you turn the phone on its the standard lockscreen, you move that and it opens directly into Apex Launcher as if Sense never existed? Sounds like something fun to mess around with.
I'm guessing it can't do any damage to the phone or the standard OS etc... then?

That's correct, it's all the same... just a different launcher.
The stock launcher is all intact, Apex doesn't overwrite anything, it's just an App really.

and +1 to Apex Launcher. I tried them all this past week and I just liked Apex better. I am sure they all do similar things, with a couple of things different. I purchased the Pro version of Apex.
Not sure if I can make the lock screen like my Apex home screen. I am still learning (time dependant), do very much like it though. Even my iPhone work mates seem impressed
I have been using Apex since Friday. I liked it so much I ended up paying for it.
Im not sure how many more features were enabled but I thought it would be the least I could do.
Main reason for switching. Laggy Home screen swithching in sense.
I have widgets on every screen now and its flawless!
Apex Launcher Pro consumes a lot of battery on my HOX 1.28
I back to Sense 4 and prefer Nova Launcher

When playing with various launchers, your battery may drain very fast because of the widgets you have running on the screens of the inactive launcher.
If you try Apex, it's a good idea to remove all widgets from your Sense screens first.

I switch off, all the widgets from Sense4 before try Apex
And reboot the terminal.
apex user here also. loving it. it's just smooth and full of features.
That's good to know, I'll remove my widgets from my Sense 4.0 Launcher and then boot back into Apex Launcher.
I'm also running GO Locker, GO Launcher EX with the ICS GO Locker Lock ring...
Sometimes when I power the screen back on I get the Sense 4.0 lock ring, so I unlock to homescreen then the ICS GO Locker ring will appear, so I have to unlock that one too! So I'm unlocking with two rings wtf?
I use Apex too and also bought the Pro version in supprot of the devs coz I liked it so much. I'm not even sure what the advantages are for Pro version. Hehehehe...
hi there, nobody posted any lock app thread yet so here it goes.
I tried Go unlock but i think it hogs the resources over time and become laggy.
anyone else can recommend a sturdy one to install?
or any good rooting mod for this to make it 100% smooth?

Try the MIUI lock screen. They made it free and available through Play Store. You have tons of styles, themes, and all you ever wanted from a lock screen..
thanks, tried MIUI just now.
It has the 3dot menu on the lock screen after setting lock screen.
so i suppose the 3dot menu mod will get rid of this.
still feel bit un-smooth with MIUI tho.
some reason the sense one is the best so far
Try this.

Does someone know a metro-style lockscreen that runs stable and hasn't got the 3dots menu enabled? I just tried a few but there was none that really worked. Unfortanetly, for I love the tiles' look alot.
Another question: is it possible to change the icons of apps on WidgetLocker? And is the 3dots menu disabled?

I run widget locker myself, lets you have all sorts of different unlockers as well as run widgets and separate wall paper, umoung other features, all on the lock screen.

Hello,
I use widgetlocker on my One X. Yes, you can change the icons af the apps. Also there is no "3dots menu".
When you install adwnotifier you also get notification-count numbers on the lockscreen like in the normal sense lockscreen (for telephone, SMS, Mail[GMail and K9]).
I like it very much and use it in combination with apex launcher on stock rom without root.
Only the sense3 lockscreen from widgetlocker is a little laggy at my phone.
Thank you. I've installed WidgetLocker now and I like it. One problem though: I've got some icons in .png format that work great with Apex Launcher. But if I try to add them in WidgetLocker, they'll get a black background instead of a transparent one. So, how can I use these icons?

Hi
I hope some one in here is gonna make a video how to use make a nice and simpelt homescreen and lockscreen.
- I'm an old IOS user and went over to android now, but i can't really find any good guides how to make a good homescreen and lockscreen that is simpel and sexy..
Maybe some like the files i have attached.
There is no real guide to do that.
Simply just search for clock widgets in google play or try some different launchers, thats how the two linked homescreens were made
