I wanna ask you guys if you can tell me how to do grids quickly and other stuff like that with the S-Note app. It would be a big help at school if i could figure out a fast way. Please share any other tips you have for S-note, because i want to make the most out of my phone.
The background is dependent on the type of note you choose to make. A "note" is ruled while a "memo" has a grid, etc
However you can't change the size of the grid or anything so I'm not sure how useful that is.

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?

Hello
Could anyone write me a quick overview of creating icons for the HTC Desire.
I have looked, and searched ( Which seems to search google and not the site), as much as I can through the forum. I am a artist and would like to create a few icons packs, as I own this phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

It depends on what ROM are you using.. If your running LauncherPRO,GOlaucher or ADWlauncher/X then its very easy to create some icons. If your artist like you mentioned, then create some in Gimp/Photoshop, save it as .png, and transfer them into your phone. Then you must find setting in your laucher to change the icon image from your SDcard. Thats not the science
Hey there, and welcome to the forums.
I've been creating my own icons for quite some time, and I've found that this works the best no matter what launcher are you using.
1. Create your icon, If you're going for the 1x1 then a good resolution would be 128x128. If you want 2x1/1x2 tiles then you need 128x256 or 256x128. You get the idea. Save in .PNG and make sure the parts you want to be transparent are so.
2. Move your icons to your device, if moving a lot of icons, USB is the best but if you just need 1-5 icons transferred then Dropbox is very handy.
3. Download "Desktop VisualizeR". It allows you to create shortcuts with your own icons, with or without label texts.
If you want to change the icons you have on the dock, then it's very launcher-specific. I have LauncherPro, if you click and hold your finger on a dock icon, a menu pops up in which you can change the icon, the app, etc.
If you have any more questions, don't be afraid to ask.
Good luck!
Thank you Rafalema!
That is exactly the information I was after. If I could see the Thanks button I was +1 you, but for some reason I cannot.
However, as I cannot, I would like to say thanks again , I could not find that information for the life of me.

The Thanks button appeared after posting, so I have now +1ed you.
Thanks again lol
Thanks!
And when you're done with your icons/icon set make sure to post them in the 'Themes' Section!
Hi guys,
I´ve been doing some tests with Simple Text but when the text is to big the words get cut or I have to make the fonts so small that I cannot read them properly. What other similar apps are there that would maybe allow me to make the icon size bigger?
Not sure I totally understand what you mean but maybe this app would help?

Then again, probably not...
Thanks, bro. I´m going to give it a go anyway. It´s always fun to try out new apps.
This one would actually work if it didn´t create such large icons...I think I´ll just create some on photoshop.
How about this?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImpwLmNvLmJpaS5hbmRyb2lkLmFwcC5kc2t2enIiXQ..
I've not really started using it properly due to time so not sure if it will help but it does have loads of different sizes.
Still could not find an app for this that I liked. I think the best way so far is to create an invisible background on photoshop and the set it as default for all icons...this way only the labels remain visible.

I'm quite happy with the 'Home' page, and the 'Google' page, but I'm not sure entirely how to go about doing the apps page.
I was thinking of doing it all with zooper widget (like the google page - none of those are actual icons, it's all zooper widget.) in order to position things properly, because the launcher grid doesn't allow actual icons to be placed in appropriate positions.
I need some music controls somewhere too - maybe at the bottom of the google page, or the apps page if I split the rectangle background?
Also, I'm thinking of swapping the position of the top 'navbars' and the bottom searchbar, so that I can have a persistent google search (which only displays on the top with no option to place it on the bottom (Nova Launcher). This would require changing the wallpaper background to have the zooper widget search box as part of the background, with the actual search widget on top of it, unless there's a way to have the search zooper widget act/behave exactly like the google search bar?
I plan to release the files when done if anyone is interested
Lock screen is temporary until I figure out what to do with that - ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance guys.

With a layout as clean as you have now, I would be concerned that putting in music controls would complicate things unnecessarily. You might consider hiding the music controls using popup widget 2, or something similar. This would allow you to have music controls at the touch of a button, but not persistent (so that if you aren't listening to music they aren't in the way).
Auto popup with important info (short)
Hello,
I have been on this forum for a short moment now. And like to say thank you first for all the help so far. Thank you for your patience too!
You guys and girls have helped me root and customise my phones.
On topic:
I see there is a need to educate users for the right way to post messages. I suggest a kind of popup with the most important rules.
One of the important issues is that the forum is being filled with posts that are not at right place.
Like developer forum where questions are asked. I myself made myself guilty as well. Been thinking how to correct it.
The solution might be as follows:
- Create a popup that shows the most important rules.
- The same popup has a link to the more complete rules page.
- at the end people sign they acknowledge they have read it and understand.
- Then people can press ok
- A new popup shows (based on login). It shows a quiz and will ask questions. If the user does not know, he /she will not get access to
the forum at all!
- All users must complete this test! Not completing equals no access. After completing you will be sure the user knows the rules.
- Extra precausion, or called penalty if a user does something that is not right. No warning given, but the penalty will be given like
unable to login. Let's say 2 days to start with. With a second violation the period is extended to 1 week. Third time 1 month offline.
Forum admin keep the right to freeze a user and put that user onto a blacklist any time. Which means no access any longer.
Perhaps combine that with IP registration.
I don't know about you, but if I really need an answer fast, I would think twice to make big mistakes again and again.
I know the forum is not the quickest in answering, but people do answer, and usually have good answers.
Hope these suggestions are usefull. B.t.w. this website looks really good! :good: But the content that is offered, outmatches the looks
by a million times. The data, tools,apps made by you guys and roms are priceless!
Keep on the good work
I am working on an app which will have multiple tabs. Having more than four tabs on the main screen would look ugly. What could be a right approach for designing such an app? Is there a way to design it in such a way that in feature I can add more features in app?
Tab is okay. But you may try Viewpager together with Tablayout. There's a lot of code examples on how to do it.

Adding on that: the tabs don't need to span the entire width of the device. If there are more tabs than space they can simple be hidden until the users swipes to them. From a user perspective this is probably not so super great, since
a) the user can't see what's in the final tabs
b) to go from one tab to another if there a lots of tabs in between is a lot of work.
Maybe think about an alternative way to structure the main layout of your app?
what about putting them into four categories and then having tabs inside them, i use swipe in mine but as the other poster says that can be off putting when theres a lot in between to swipe past
I've had this problem
The first question should be "do you need that many different tabs?" Are they all of equal importance? Could some be combined? Could some be put under 1 settings menu? Could many of them live under and hamburger menu?
If you really do need > 4 tabs you can have them carousel at the top. Content apps do this well. If you have a content app then it makes sense to have several tabs. Users will be in a browse mode anyways. Look at Pinterest, Reddit apps and stuff like that. They handle it well.
I'd ask myself and probably my users "what are the 2 most important things my app does" and make those easy to get to.
