Is it possible to allow free positioning of icons anywhere on the homescreens?

well, it's actually a request from me, and i was hoping for a discussion between devs on possibly removing the grid on homescreens that locks icons into place. that way we can have free positioning anywhere on the homescreen without the icons snapping into place.

Having this option would be really sweet but I am not sure how possible it would be. What are you thinking for moving the icons? Maybe someone has a tweak that would be more feasible for positioning the icons

Folks have two options when visiting a thread:
Option 1
Provide helpful and constructive repsonses ... not "use search", "use google", "wrong forum", etc.
Option 2
If a member is not inclined to follow Option 1 ... then move on!
If a member has posted in the incorrect forum, report the thread with a recommendation as to where it should be moved to.
As moderators, we spend countless hours having to clean up threads like this instead of working on our own forum contributions. As a fellow XDA member, help us by reducing the amount of off-topic, trolling, and flamming responses.

[Q] Should each 'Cook/ROM' have its own section

I think each ROM should have its own section not just a thread. I find searching through 1000+ posts for one bit of info very hard work, and I bet others do as well. Search is good but unless you know the exact wording its not always the best option.
With each ROM having its own section each question will be in its own thread, making finding the answers to repeated questions much easier.
What say the masses ?
Thanks

interesting idea...but think not possible or..?

You know requesting new sections every day would be pain in the arse for moderators?
It's good as it is now.

When you have one sub-forum for each rom then you have a loooooooong list ... and thats not better then so
Questions shouldnt be in dev section - so there are only dev threads -> done
Question about an spezific rom can be posted in the rom thread.

I think this can be achieved through "Related Threads" (With some modification). So that once u open a thread from one developer all this threads in the same section apear at the bottom.
Just a wild idea

Maybe the mods can make the most useful/best roms sticky...

agree! very hard and sometimes slow to search through 10,000 posts .. it 's often a nightmare to follow the thread

even with search button.. e.g. you search for an issue on battery.. you see someone who asked the question... then i must scroll down(or move next page) to search if someone actually replied and gave a solution to the issue (assuming a there's a reply or solution to the question)... in between you have tons of other unrelated questions/replies/opinions/thanks etc... lol i think you know what i mean

The masses say no. We like asking the same questions all over again, or even better opening the new threads for every query we have.
Your idea is good but what you propose can't be done. It can't be avoided as it would be a forum utopia sort off. Google is more powerful than forum search. Good info doesn't necessarily have to come from XDA.
And for starters this thread is in totally wrong section.

How about a section for roms with sense and a section for roms without sense? or maybe section for ports from other devices and a section for "almost" stock roms. Mabye 2 - 4 subcategories would be a good idea. Another good idea would be that the cooks would use a specific format for the thread names like "Update/Date - Rom name - Version - Cook".
just my two cents in some bad english ^^

I see you're new around here. Two things, this is a development forum and questions should probably go to the General section or the specific ROM's thread. You'll find people get pretty cranky around here when newcomers start opening threads for questions like these. Also, acquaint yourself with the 'search' button. You'll probably hear a lot about that too.

Looking for a wallpaper

Hey all, I'm trying to find a wallpaper like this but without the writing on it. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I've search but couldn't find anything. Thanks!

I ended up cropping that pic, but it doesn't look as clean and crisp. I'll keep searching.

Damn, sorry Kenny. I knew that, I don't know why I posted in general. Thanks for moving it.

[Q] lockscreen apps

Guys,
Simple question I can't seem to find an answer or solution too, can I add an extra line of apps to my lockscreen without rooting?
I've seen some screenshots of it but no how to.
Thanks for any answers
