Hey guys,
I noticed that when I go into expanded desktop mode on Pa beta8v2 there is a black bar at the bottom of the screen. It kinda cuts off at the middle of the icons and was wondering if there is a way to make the wallpaper go all the way down. Thanks in advance
its a issue with the launcher that you're using.
depending on what launcher it is (apex, nova, etc) update it to the latest
something that came with rom -> update your rom
I have it also on Nova Luncher, on Go Luncher and on CM10 luncher also :/
all 3 are cutting the photo and showing the icons that way .
Yea I just checked and it doesn't happen with the default launcher. That's a disappointment..... Hope they patch that up.

I would like to have the notification bar off the (top of the) screen so I can have a full screen. If I want to see it I would just touch the top and it would appear and drag down as usual to see notification bar. I do not want to change my launcher as I would rather modify that one feature only.
If anyone could direct me how to do this on my own or with an already available application I would be very grateful.
Im on stock (rooted) G2 Tmobile Rom.
Yo I know you said you didn't want to change your launcher BUT if your using LauncherPro like 90% of the rest of the android community give Go Launcher a shot, it has the almost the EXACT same features as LP but it also includes the ADW ability to set actions for swipe up and down on the home screen (not just the dock) so you can hide the bar and then set down swipe on the home screen to pull down notifications, that's what I do
I just use ADW Launcher, it works very well, i don't care to change launcher.
LOL you don't wanna change your Launcher hmm ur a tuff cookie guy. Joking but for real Launcher Pro is the Best well in my opinion.
I like adw, more customizability. You can do it on lots of launchers but as far as I know you can't do it outside of the launcher. What launcher are you using now? Stock?

I will not take sides, but adw ex have more options in settings than LP. and can I ask where you read that 90% of users use android LP?
Yea it seems that I needed to replace my rom to fix it as it was a rom based feature.. thank you for all your assistance.
Hi Guys,
I was just checking if I can get the Galaxy S like home screen on my DHD and found the TouchWiz Launcher APK in the forum. I was able to install this successfully but the Icons it is showing are the default Sense icons. Is there anyway I can change the Icons to Galaxy S like icons.
One thing... I have not rooted my handset yet.
Thanks.

Hmmm not exactly the answer you may be looking for but try purchase ADW EX Launcher. It has an iPhoneish setting which gives icons a coloured background and you can use the horizontal swipe app drawer aswell as modify the dock to a touchwiz style interface.
Regards.
I tried ADW Launcher with Gal S Theme which gave me Icons like Galaxy S. But In ADW, I am not able to select dock with 4 icons. The options are only 5, 3, 1 or none. So, I tried removing the Dock completely and extended the home screen to 5 rows so that I can use the bottom row as 4 icon dock. But the problem now is there is no dock at all in app drawer as well.
I just installed froyo as per the guy said in this thread, the downgradable method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072094
But i was hoping like this update will remove the 3 home screen buttons at the bottom of the screen. Is there any way to do that?
and what about the folders for different apps? This is also not there for defy? I have sen it on galaxys!
and another thing is the wifi/bluetooth/gps widget. i thought the froyo update will bring it to the notification area. I mean after expanding the notification bar.
One another thing I wanted to ask was, is there any good looking widget for bluetooth/gps/wifi for defy?
for the widgets - try widgetsoid in the market - be sure to get widgetsoid 2.x
it offers a fair amount of customisation (colours, background fade efect, etc)
The 2.2 doesn't bring these widgets to notification bar - it depends on the custom rom
The 3 home buttons - try to change your home screen app - use adw launcher or launcher pro, or any othe type of launcher - search the web to find the best for your taste.

thanks a lot man!! and I thought all these things are part of android froyo!!
I just install ADW launcher, since as a themer this launcher is the iconmask feature (great feature not supported by recent launcher like nova and apex).
Anyway, is there an official thread or something I can post requested and questions ?
All I found were threads on adw theme, etc, but nothing with devs on OP...
Maybe I can ask my questions here waiting for a good guy to link me to the official thread.
I'm on android 4.2 I have 3 questions :
- When I'm in adw settings and try to get back to home pressing the back softkey, it gets stuck at the settings menu screen you guys know why ?
- according to this screenshot I lost my dock icons ? Although I ain't touching anything related to the dock in the settings. Any idea ?
- Concerning gesture, I set the 1 finger swipe down gesture to show/open notification bar, (I previously hide it in the settings) and when I swipe down the notification bar shows but doesn't open. Plus on 4.2, the 2 fingers swipe down gesture open the notification bar showing directly the toggles, but here nothing... :'(
Can you ADW users help me on this one ?
Thanks a bunch folks !
Been a while since I used ADW. Maybe try this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975764
There are a bunch of them, just search google for "xda adw".
Yep that's what I said a bunch of thread but nothing official ?

Hi All
I am new here, recently rooted and installed the CM11 ROM
So far so good. Just wondering however.
The Icons and overall feel of the OS seems very large to me, and in some icons even pixalated (Instagram app)
Is this normal?
Also when I rotate the tab into landscape the text from the apps are cut off, its like it doesnt fit onto the page.
Do i need to install a launcher such as Apex?or GPE?
Thanks

hi, when you rotate into landscape the letters are indeed cut off, this is a bug of cyanogen and i believe that they ll fix it sometime. If you want smaller icons long press on desktop screen, select settings and change the number of rows and columns. If you select bigger number the icons will become smaller and i managed to see the whole text of icons with a particular number of rows and columns.

Thanks for your help
Do you mind me asking which row and columns you have?
I installed KK launcher just to see if there would be a difference.
And there is a massive difference. The icons are much more crisp and smooth and smaller.
Not sure if its just my ROM.

yeah I forgot to tell you to install a different launcher, cyanogen launcher is bugged, it's not just your rom. I use 7 rows and 6 columns and I use it mostly on portrait mode, if I put 8 rows then the icons look really messed up

Great thanks for this!
Any recommendations on a good Launcher?
Do I have to remove the current CM11 launcher or do they both run at the same time?
Cheers

if you install a custom launcher it will replace the stock, no need to uninstall cyanogens launcher. Unfortunately i havent found much time to experiment with the launchers, although i want sometime to change cyanogen's launcher. The most popular launchers by far are go launcher ex and nova launcher. I want to try someday next launcher 3d, it's created from the development team of go launcher ex and it has some really cool 3d effects.
if you are more technically inclined try changing ro.sf.lcd_density= in your build.prop to something lower like 270, I believe it's set at 320 or something like that ala nexus.
in setting you can choose between launcher3 and the Google Experince Launcher (It's simply called launcher). the Google Experience Launcher works great.
I installed nova launcher and the desktop looks way much better than in cyanogen's launcher. Nova launcher is a simple launcher though, with few options available for customise. But it works really great and it does the job.
