[Q] Move between desktops with a shorcut - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I'm making a layout for my Desire HD and I need a way to jump from a desktop (let's say the home desktop) to the top right desktop. I mean, from desktop 1 to desktop 3, with a shortcut placed in the first one.
I know that the launchers (in my case is GO Launcher EX) have icons to indicate in what desktop you are. I'm not looking for that.
I don't know if I've been clear, it's hard for me write in english, so sorry for any mistake
Thanks in advance.

You mean like an icon on the home page...like say you want to jump to the third page you click on it and it will take you there right away?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App

Yeah!, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

No one knows how to do it?

if you dont want to swipe then you can always press the home key and then you can choose from all your homescreens as they will all be shown on one screen

Hi,
The HTC Home launcher is limited to 9 application, so you need to delete one or more.
This is done in the following way:
1. select the lower rightmost icon marked with "x". Then you'll see all apps marked for deletion.
2. tap on the one you want to delete, and the location will become blank.
3. tap again on the "x" to unmark.
4. tap on the blank square (deleted location) and a pop-up screen with all application will come.
5. choose the appliction you want to assign to this square.
Good luck!

Program Launcher with multiple pages

Hi folks,
I'm looking for an programm launcher like the programs tab in TF3D, but I'd like to have multiple pages, as the 24 places in the tab are way to few.
Else I want to assign it to an hardware key, so I need an application, that is not integrated in TF3D.
Does anyone know a good app for this purpose ?
I guess someone already made something like that, but google and the forum search didn't bring it up.
Sounds like a job for Wisbar Advanced Desktop, I have 8 tabs on the main screen, 20 more fading in with one finger gesture, or configure a mainscreen tab to directly open a launcher page with 20 tabs per page, where tabs can also be a Inbox, URL or shortcut to opening a program with a given file. Then switch between unlimited launcher pages with one finger gesture per page.
^^ can you please tell me what part of wishbar advance i have to activate to make my screen look like that??
Look at MortScript and Mort Buttons You can add the buttons to start menu, Today screen or to the TF3D Programs page. each button has a full page or even multi-pages you can add apps, commands or scripts to. Really handy!

Its not Wisbar Advance (Task), but Wisbar Advance Desktop
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
Then you need to install Sergej's free Blackberry Theme to the themes folder of WAD, and activate it as your default portrait mode theme.

that looks really nice ... but how does is look in landscape mode? does it support landscape? if yes, i'll give it a try
Dont use landscape, but the program differentiates between those two modes, so you could just re-arrange the dock and tabs to fit your landscape preferences. For me the key feature was to be able to show unlimited appointments on my main screen.
already tried yota center?
Me I use UltimateLaunch that I looove with Yota

hi Lucas,
the first image you attached is your today screen? we can set wisbar advanced dekstop as our today screen?
Yes indeed, but as a today screen where you have full control of what to put on it!

how to set the WAD as today screen? by disable the TF3D only?
last time i did try WAD, but, i didn't set it as today screen, i need to launch it as other program to get WAD work.
so, everytime you soft reset or wake up your HD, you will see WAD in your today screen?
Just disabled TF3D, started WAD installation, and WAD came up as today screen automatically. Yes, WAD is full today screen, but you can choose if you want to keep the Start and taskbar on the top of the screen, or have it disappear. Most standard Today plugins work from inside the WAD today screen, too.

thanks a lot Lucas, i will try.
Thanks for the ideas.
I'm already using Yota Center and its a nice program.
The only thing is that I'd like to have more pages, cause 24 places is too few.
I'll try Mort Buttons, looks interesting though.
have you tried launchmanager ? it's not free though ...

Thanks just one more question. When launching the Music player or Photo Viewer etc, are they the normal HTC ones or are they customized now?
Are they still easy to use?
Also does all your programs work normally? And if you don't like the WAD, you can easily delete it?

No, they will not be the HTC apps embedded in TF3D. You will set up each icon to open up your own apps. I haven't heard of anyone being able to use the HTC player or album yet as stand alone apps.
Yes they are very easy to use!
WAD will not affect the way your programs run. It is simply a launcher program (one of the best that I've seen yet).
Yes, you can easily uninstall WAD by going to remove programs and uninstalling it from there...although I have a feeling you won't want to after you get the feel for what it can do to your today screen!
Thanks that was a great explanation
just one more question for example do you mean it won't have a built mp3 player or something like that but you have to download a 3rd party one and assign it?
EDIT: I just bought it and installed the Blueberry theme but doesn't show up properly, i wonder why. I'm missing the clock, the calender and whenever i press the box on the right side, a empty grey box opens.. weird.
EDIT: Fixed it up by selecting Wishbar Desktop rather than HD BlueBerry, weird. some parts are still German even after applying eng buttons.

You can set it up to use Windows Media player if you want to, otherwise a third party app is what you will need. CorePlayer or PocketPlayer are a couple to check out.
I haven't installed the Blackberry theme for WAD yet but I do no if you don't have the icons installed in the correct places the theme will not show properly. I ran into this same problem when installing Mallmans Vista theme. As soon as I went back and followed his instructions perfectly, the theme was correctly displayed.
I'm not familiar with setting up different languages so I'm afraid I won't be of any help to you there. You may check out the Lakeridge WAD forum for that.
Here is how I have my WAD looking right now, a tweaked version of Mallmans Vista theme!

Quick question

I have just bought the HTC Desire, and I can see that it has 3 extra windows to the left and right (where i can add widgets...shortcuts etc)
I have left 2 blank, can i delete or hide them? So I don't need to scroll through them?
Thanks.
cant remember how it was in the default sense, but pretty sure theres a setting somewhere letting you change the number of the screens from 7 to i.e. 5
That is exactly what I'm looking for!
Please try and remember lol...
Don't think you can do this through Sense UI but you can set the number of screens using a launcher like Launcher Pro.
Why don't you put the two empty ones at the ends, then you have no problems. (I know it isn't exactly the solution you are looking for, but it can help in the meanwhile)
You could even give Zeam Launcher 1.5.1 a try, looks quite nice and you can set 3 to 9 screens.

[Q] Looking for a specific dock & app...

Hi every1.
I have been searching these forums and many others for a couple of hours now and I still can't find what i'm looking for. Important to note is that I am very new to all that has to do with android in general.
I was wondering if there is any application that lets me change my dock (similar to launcher pro with the ability to scroll sideway) so I can add not just icons but also folders there.
Maybe there is a way for launcher pro to make me add folders already, in that case I would like to know how. My Galaxy S is rooted but I would rather not try and mix with system files since I dont know much about such things. (if it's not very simple or well explained)
My other question is why I can't find widget locker on the android market? I tried finding it through a site called appbrain with the barcode scanner application, but that didn't help either.
Would appriciate any kind of help, i'm really at a loss here...
123 views...please any1?
If I have made myself unclear in some way please let me know, I would really appriciate any kind of help guys/gals =/
So you basically want shortcuts to folders in the dock at the bottom?
I do this by using "Apps Organizer" to organise my folders then while in launcherpro and then selecting the Apps Organizer shortcut in the dock and choosing the folder I want!
oh, so thats how it's done =P Thanks a bunch NorcoFox
That's ok, glad I could help!
Nice hint, but I would raise call
AppsOrganizer / FolderOrganizer create folders on the homescreens, together with widgets and other icons. Let's say on the "active" layer of SGS
I guess the original Tsukimiya's intent would be (well, mine IS) to have such folders/categories in the APP-DRAWER (the all together app layer, in the above notation) instead.
This would let us to categoriza ANY app in different folders. Their original icon/link, not only a copy.... Let's say just like iphone does, on its unique layer
This way I could prevent duplicating icons and forgetting newly installed apps, messed up among such alphabetic list launcherpro or adw realize.
Or, worst case, keep aligned touchwiz app-drawer pages too
Any hint existing on market ?
Till now, I only found TagHome Launcher, but it's a complete home replacement and it isn't at the quoted best-of-breed level, unfortunately
Thanks a lot
Yeah this is something I would be very interested in!
My friend was going through my app drawer and said can't you have folders to sort all of these out?

[Q] anyone know how to make a Fpse homescreen shortcut that directly loads a game?

Hi all,
i've scoured both the net and forums for the answer to this;
basically i'd like a link to say MGS on my homescreen, similar to what the 4droid emulators do, but using fpse. Has anyone managed to do something like that? had a quick look at the fpseCE forums but it wasn't much help; i know that apps like bettercut can create custom shortcuts with the option to add (what i believe to be) parameters... no clue how to go about loading a game though.
im bumping this as i would like to know if this is possible also
Maybe tasker can do it
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
wahey! i couldn't believe i was the only one that was after this functionality!
I haven't got tasker, but if it's anything like bettercut (lists of 'actions' from applications) i'm leaning towards a no. Anybody got this that could give it a go please?
any solution for this yet?
RE
The feature was listed in the change log of a recent release.
Something like. 0.11.26 or so.
I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, though.
I don't see it in my widget screen like the other emulators...
yep it was introduced a while back; there's a "create shortcut" command somewhere in the menus. it'll create a shortcut and add it automatically to ur homescreen =]

Yup, enter a game, press the menu button, go into settings, misc, create shortcut. It's the 2nd to last option
