[Q] is there a mod for this? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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.

Quick question on sense

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.

With all the fancy transition effects with the Go Launcher I'm running, I'm surprised there's no rotation transition effects.
On the OGEvo MikG has adopted this in his Tom somehow. Maybe someone can ask him on how we do this for out phone.
any updates?

Talked to a buddy of mine about this...
There's an app called spare parts that lets you add different animations and transitions to the phone.
He commented that for android 1.5 and maybe 1.6 you could add fancy rotation animations, but for later versions it won't.
It's also not an option in go launcher, though there are tons of other animations.
Maybe this no longer exists in stock android? Maybe HTC had to reinvent the wheel and add lots of custom code to make this happen for their sense UI?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Its in ICS, so I'm sure it will be ported over when we get a rom.
Bump.
So more "Spin" and less brash.
I hope we can get it ported over, looks sweet.

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.

Really? Damn that sucks lol. well thanks for the info.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
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.

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.

Icon Size and Text removal AKA Bigify for Android?

Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:
This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.
Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

There's one launcher that'll let you have the customization you want. It's rather expensive though.

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.
I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.
