I'm not sure what to call it with out looking at my evo but it's dead and don't greek like charging it.
What I'm looking for is a app that does what my evo can do. It allows me to make multiable homes using the same launcher. It then allows me to switch back and force depending on my mood. it came with a htc home, a sprint home, and a black home. I added a work home with a bunch of widgets I used for work. Once I got home I switched to my daily home witch had a bunch of other widgets. It allowed me to switch back and fourth with out changing my settings our widgets depending on what home I was using.

dont know of an app for this but i found this: http://hubpages.com/hub/Droid-Home-Replacement-App-Comparison
might want to check it out. also i thought of a workaround though its kindof a PITA. launcherpro and adw both support backing up your homescreens and settings, so you could backup your config and move it to another folder, keep several configs and just move the one you want to the default location and restore from backup.
of course, LP doesnt restore the widgets right, so fwiw.
Could u partition the sd and keep a copy on each side I would think zeam would work as the launcher. Then you would just need an app to switch partitions.
Other thought: take apk of launcher program u like. Copy and rename it to something like launcher2. Install both and use home switcher to flip between them. Easy fix.

That won't work the actual package name when it installs will be still com.whatever.zeam

I don't know the file names, so I'm gonna make them up... but,
Using backup and restore features, if they're all just xml files, lets say your launcherpro backup name is "launcherprobackup.xml"
Then rename it to "launcherprobackup2.xml" and create another backup.
Could someone write a script or something that would do something like :
rename launcherprobackup.xml to launcherprobackup3.xml
rename launcherprobackup2.xml to launcherprobackup.xml
rename launcherprobackup3.xml to launcherpro2.xml
then restore launcherpro backup, restart launcherpro?
kinda ghetto.. but.. ya.
Edit: You're prob have to restore your widgets each time.. but not sure.
You could also try the multiple Titanium Backup route, and restore a separate instance/backup.

At the risk of sounding noobish again, You should still be able to rename the file so it shows as a seperate program. You might have to take all your data off the phone, make the adjustments on a PC and put it back onto the phone, but it can be done. Mysteryemotionz, Try it with your v9 beast theme and use the browser you have in it for trials. Worse case is I am wrong and I go back to being noob status again .

I'm not sure, but I think that would require some xml modifications, and kind of defeat the purpose of changing the "scene" at will. I think the launchers (or any app) has instructions to use specific folder names to store lib or database files which might cause conflict when trying to run both.. but like the comment above, I could be totally lying/incorrect

Best idea I've heard yet, I feel like that could be the ticket. I've been pondering this as well, and the only thing I can think of would be to literally create a whole new launcher from scratch. If I could do it I would, how sick would it be to have LP, ADW, Zeam, and all other launchers packed into one. You would have 5 "launcher screens", each customizable with seperate icons, widgets, etc. they could all be different, or look the same just with different icons. Am I making sense lol?

Well I have kinda a solution... if you have lp installed and some other launchers you can add a shortcut and go to activities and click on your launcher and launch that... but when you press home it goes back to the defalt one.

To the OP, you are talking about the "Scenes" feature of HTC sense. I would say the closest thing to that on a phone without HTC sense, is what the others are talking about. LauncherPro. Build a setup, make a backup of it. Repeat till you have all your different setups. Then you can switch whenever you want.

I just recently installed Koni's Elite Series III. It is my favorite ROM so far. One thing that i cant get to work is the HTC Music, and htc Music Widget apps. He has them as an optional download on the ROM page. I downloaded them, put them on the root of my sd card, and tried to flash the .zip file through clockwork mod. it says Installing update...
Installing HTC Music and Widget...
Done.
Install from sdcard complete.
When I boot back up nothing has changed and the apps are not there. so i tried extracting the apk's to the sdcard's extracted folder and installing them from there and it says application not installed. I even tried to move the apk's to the system\apps folder and install them from there but still no dice.
I tried to figure out how to post this on the rom page but I guess xda doesnt want people asking questions on dev posts haha. hopefully someone can help! Thanks!

The first thing I would do, is check your permissions on both the Music apk, and the music widget apk. Navigate to /system/app, find the htcMusic.apk, and long press it, then select 'permissions'. Make sure that it's set the same as the other system apps. Most likely you just need to be sure that User: read and write are both checked. Once the permissions are set for both of them, reboot the phone and see if that worked.

Ya seriously! so would you know by chance how to get the htc music 2x3 widget? I thought thats what the .com.htc.musicwidget.apk was, but strangely enough that is the standard android 1x3 music widget.... I was hoping to get the htc one because its twice the size and i can control the song without going into the app, plus when the screen is locked it has controls on top of the lock bar

ya, i pulled it from another rom (stock turbo) that has the 2x3 widget. in fact while i was on that rom earlier today (to get this, and the flashlight app) i renamed the com.htc.musicwidget.apk to com.htc.music.widget.blk and the widget disapeared. so.... the htc.musicwidget.apk must be the right file, but why would it only give me the option for the regular android 1x3 widget..... and ya the permissions are the same as all the other widgets. user has read and write and everyone else has just read. I just renamed the htc.musicwidget.apk on my phone on koni's to htc.musicwidget.apk and the android music 1x3 is still there. so i dont think that they are connected, the apk probably just isnt installing right

I would re download your widget, and try again. Are you sure the file didn't get corrupted? (Size is the same as it is in the rom you took it from) The 1x3 widget you're describing sounds like its the widget for the stock android music player, which I also believe is included in konis elite. That would tell me that something isnt right with your com.htc. MusicWidget.apk. did you name it right? (Capitals matter, it can't be all lower case. The m and the w both need tone capitals.

Glad you got it working! Not a problem, any time.
Several times I have edited my app drawer order, grouping apps by type on each page (a page for games, a page for internet stuff, a page for utilities, etc.), creating folders, etc. Then I hit Menu > Save, and everything is fine, until I reboot my phone. Then it loses the app order, and a few apps get seemingly randomly moved to their own pages, so the total number of pages grows from about 5 to upwards of 8 or 9. It seems like the most recently added apps get moved, but not always. I move them all back how they should be, but they only stay until a reboot.
Anyone else have this happen? Or better, found out why? Or even better, how to make them stay?
Really? Does nobody sort their apps? Or nobody has had this problem?

I don't sort them in the App Drawer. I leave them arranged alphabetically grid or list. I do arrange the ones I most often use somewhere on the 7 Home Screens though.
They will not stay. It is an annoying problem. I use folders now to group my apps. And I have my apps sorted to stop the spacing issue.

Still happening on Starburst ROM 1.5, so the problem it's with TouchWiz and is not ROM-specific.
I made a backup of TWLauncher with Titanium, so when my drawer gets really messed up I restore data from the backup (killing the running process) and it does restore my app layout as it was when I made the backup. Not a solution, but a lot quicker than re-sorting 50 apps. If only I could figure out how to trigger a save of the layout...it seems to just do it occasionally and I can't figure out what triggers it (certainly not when the Save button gets pressed...as if that makes sense).
Had anyone replicated this issue on TouchWiz 3.5? (or is it 4.0... whatever the flashable one is that's newer than what ships with the device).
I know what u mean but for me its all good after i fix it a second time untill i change then itll revert to just before i changed
It only happened to me on 4.5 thiugh

Bummer. Guess we have to wait for an official update to get an updated launcher.
are you saving the changes ?
You have to make your changes then hit menu again and save changes.
otherwise they don't stick.
after clicking save don't press anything for 30 secs or so
that seems to do it for me
if i save and immediatly go back it doesn't save

hi all,
after updating my galaxy s2 from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 with kies, i had the same problem about sorting applications page.
i didnt reset my phone before or after updating with kies. first i tought that i might be about this. i was looking for a solution and i read these posts. without resetting my phone i just tried to delete files of TW Launcher.
Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All(tab)
find and tap "TW Launcer"
tap "Clear data" button.
after that my home screen and applications screen look default.
applications screen sorted alphabetical.
i customized my home and app screen again and till now didnt change anyting, i mean didnt forget the layout of apps.
i wanted to share this little unprofessional solution with you =)
if there is a better way i want to learn.
finally i have a question, after updating to 2.3.5, when i tap contacts, it opens slowly, after 1 or 1.5 seconds lag(black screen) it opens. but not always. it happens just sometimes.
do you have the same behaviour?
sory for my english. looking forward to see your answers or comments.
i tried and there is no problem anymore

14th post,
see my firs post
I'm really surprised I haven't seen more people complaining about it but I guess most are not running TouchWiz.
To re-explain the problem I'm having..
You arrange all the applications in different panels the way you want (after you hit "applications" not the home screen panels)
After turning the phone off and on again Or plugging it in to the computer via USB and removing it, all the applications are a mess again. Not the way you arranged them and there doesn't seem to be any logic behind it.
It's not just the way they were the last time you turned the phone off or the last time you plugged in the USB cable.
I also thought having folders in an earlier panel may be causing later panels apps to get bumped around but I've tried it with the folders in the last panel and I get the same randomness.

Hi. Im wondering if there is a modified gallery apk floating around. I really hate picasa, with a passion. Even if it isnt the 3D gallery, I dont care. When I remove the gallery and use a third party viewer app, we cant set lock screen wallpapers. Thanks!
SOLVED
Under Accounts and Sync|Google, uncheck the Sync Picasa Web Albums box and they wont show up in the Gallery.
My fav picture viewing app that I bring with me to every rom I run is QuickPic. Its super small and fast and does everything I want it to, including setting homescreen and lockscreen pics.
Check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hbGVuc3cuUGljRm9sZGVyIl0.
If you're referring to the fact that your email auto checks for new mail every 30 min. you can go into your email settings and set the frequency of checking email to "Never".

Remove the stock gallery and you can not set lock screen wallpapers, even with quikpic. Which Ive used on all of my devices. Looking to remove the picasa sync option altogether which you cant do unless you remove the 3d gallery, but then you cant set lock screen wallpapers. Hence the search for a modified stock gallery.
SOLVED
I've never seen my email app use any inordinate amount of battery life as a result of it running in the background nor have I ever read a post of how someones stock email client is draining batt life. Is that whats happening to you?
And to avoid the issue of setting wallpapers with other apps, just don't remove the stock gallery app and the 3rd party apps you use should set wallpapers just fine. If you don't like the stock app, don't use it. But to remove it altogether sounds like its leading to problems.
Not sure what you mean by remove Picasa sync option altogether. Just uncheck the box and its done, no more syncing, or are you referring to removing the menu enrty/option altogether under Accounts and Sync|Google.
If so I guess I'll go now. It sounds like you want dev help from someone willing to work on code for you. Thats waaay outta my league.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for your phone blowing up, freezing, bootlooping, your partner leaving you or your cat dying. Make a nand.
I modified the stock Gallery apk so that I wouldnt have the "Sync Picasa" option under the accounts in "Accounts & Sync".
I really do not like having that option in there, so I solved my problem.
I have attached the Gallery apk to share if anyone else is as picky as I am.
I simply moved it to /system/app, overwriting or deleting the original, then fixed the permissions. I kept the original odex file. Rebooted and all is well.
Extract the zip/rar file and use the apk inside.
I hope some of you find this useful.

You got me. I'm not a dev just a tinkerer. Be certain that it's named correctly, no spaces, perhaps at the beginning of the file name etc.. When you copy it to /system/app it should ask you if you want to overwrite the existing file. That'll tell you it's named correctly. Unless there is something else that you're missing, it should work, as it worked for me. I wish I could do it for you, man. I simply copied the apk from my sd external and pasted it into /system/app, fixed the permissions and rebooted. After the reboot, I confirmed the gallery worked then I cleared cache and dalvik just for the heck of it. Really sorry it's not working for you as easily as it did for me.

I haven't used Go Launcher, but the other applications I've used that do that are generally easily replaceable. What I mean by that is I couldn't find a way to turn off the notifications in them, so it was easier and better to replace them.
I do believe Apex launcher can use Go Launcher themes, and it never caused any problems for me. Maybe the Go launcher compatibility is only in the paid version though. I don't recall since I'm just using the standard Trebuchet launcher in CM10.
Airblocker on the play store will block push ads, but I dont think GO is using ads but a notification which I think you can turn off thru settings in the theme store thing, been a while since I used it. Or you could try add on detector from the market to try and remove them, or lucky patcher may be able to strip the notifications
I like to break stuff!
I never found a way to disable those notifications, it's jsut part of the 'free' I guess. I used GO launcher for almost 2 years but I feel like it has gotten a bit bloated and they're trying to make an extension for nearly everything.
I tried a few other launchers but settled on Holo.

or just buy the app and stop expecting everything for free. :good:
EDIT: I have to facepalm myself here since there is no 'no ad' option.

You can't get rid of GoLauncher notifications by buying anything man.
Personally, I used to use go, but now I like Trebuchet 0.2 that comes with CM/PA waaay better.

I stand corrected. Then my answer would be dont use the app. Apex is good (Trebuchet is fine too)

i tried firewalling all the go apps and even that didn't help.
time to start looking at alternatives.. i assume this is Go Launcher doing this?
I have been experiencing the same. I had to abandoned Golauncher for Apex. Golauncher got absurd with the many updates of their launcher. Many of these updates deleted settings or apps. And made my phone unresponsive. Now Gosms is getting out of hand. I keep emailing them, first about that gochat crap that wouldn't go away. Now these texting of themes. But they don't email you back. I might have to abandoned gosms for handcent...

I think I may have found the solution, I too was tired of those notifications and was close to switching to another launcher.
Anyway, do it at your own risk.. I'm not so sure this will work in the long run since I just did it 2 days ago... I went into the launchers data found in system root /data/data/com.gau.go.launcherex for my phone (LG Motion 4G not sure if the folder name will be different for others) using the File Explorer app, then I went into the folder named shared_prefs, I then opened all the apprecommended, gostore, and gamecenter, also the autocheck, featuredtheme and msgcenter .xml files with File Explorer's built in text editor and changed where it says standalone='yes' into 'false' saved changes to each one, File Explorer automaticaly saves a backup within the folder incase you mess up then I exited the app so far I haven't gotten any more automatic updated notifications
