Is it possible to change the home screen of secure folder?
Example I would like to have folders inside there, I would like to have app icons some upper part some lower part. But the folder only allows me to add them side by side.
I would also like to have a widget there if possible

hey mates,
don't know if you guys did this; but i discovered something useful when i installed phm plus (freeware). once installed to the unit; going to the folder containing the app gives you 2 subfolders with shortcuts. apparently; one of them contains icons for accessing system software; examples of which are bluetooth, the clock, remove programs, memory, and just about everything. so, if you use tdlaunch or something similar which allows you to put icons / shortcuts on the today screen; you can essentially put system shortcut icons. simply use file explorer, go to the folder containing the system shortcut icons (via the phm plus app), copy and paste them on a folder where you have your shortcuts. from there; you can then put the icons on the today screen. for my case; i now have the clock app on my today screen. instead of clicking today-settings-system-clock; i can simply click on the icon on my today screen and the clock app comes up.
hope that helps.
cheers mates

Change the size of icons on a panel created with Titanium Configurator. I have created a contact dialer panel and have chosen the pictures for each. However, the are scrunched. These images were sized and cut by me for use on my phone and they work fine for the normal contact picture (poutlook). So where are these panels? Are they in the .cpr file? Or is there no way to change the size of the icons without actually editing some .dll file?
You should be able to find it in the CPR file in /Windows. Change the values there...DONT FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP JUST IN CASE!!!
I just checked and couldn't find the one I'm looking for in the cpr file. It's just a panel I created call My Contacts. Currently the png file I use is called Favorite.png since none of the contact pictures look right.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you want the icons to not be scrunched...you need to take them into photoshop...or gimp...or some type of image editing program and change the canvas size of the transparent canvas behind the image to 86x113...then they should display properly....additionally the panel order is stored in the xml.home, and the panel specs are in the cpr...the only .dll that you might need to edit is the bronzeres if you want to change the icons on the panels that you did not create...same deal though...86x113, but you must use resource tuner, pe explorer, res hacker...or some similar program...hope that helps
hi everyone
i would like to have a couple files to appear directly on the home screen as i use the 5 times a day so it becomes quite a headache having to navigate my way through the sd card n folders n then to look for it
it would be ideal if i could just see it there on my homescreen or maybe even a folder but im more keen on it just being there
kind regards
if its a document make a recent doc folder on the home screen ..
thanks for that
is there no way to just have the file straight on the home screen?
i think i might tell the dev of simi folder to incorporate documents
Use LauncherPro and Astro. Long click anywhere on the screen and select "shortcuts". A list will appear and select Astro. Now you can browse your sd card to find your files one by one and tap it. a prompt will allow you change your icon file and shortcut name..tada.you are done.
So I am having an issue with Zooper when after I make the widget I like and then put it on the homescreen and when I want to make it bigger, the items on the widget seem to move around and do not stay where they originally were when it was smaller.
Is it possible to make them scale up properly (and dont move) for when I adjust the edges or would I have to make it the size I want on the homescreen then move them back to where I want them?

You can influence the scaling behavior by choosing the correct anchor points for the modules you are adding. Anchor points are the reference to which the x/y offsets are applied. Top for instance is the top edge of the widget. If you resize a widget all modules are repositioned according to their anchor points and if modules have different anchors, they will move around in different ways.
If you want to create a more static layout, either choose center for all modules (widget will expand but items will stay right where they are) or select fitting anchor points depending on how you want the modules to behave when the widget is scaled (modules that should have a static distance from the left edge of the widget should have the anchor point left center for instance).
I hope my description is understandable. If not, feel free to ask for more details
I think I follow and understand what you are getting at, I will try moving the anchors around and see if that helps.
I have not used the QuickNav bar in many years. If you have a typical launcher app the bar seems sort of superfluous to me. But I did get to thinking about it recently while working on a new--and hopefully improved--version of my QuickTiles app. I actually only use five tiles (six on my NSTG) which is just the number of spots on the QuickNav bar. So maybe....
With some help from @Renate I managed to move the QuickNav bar to the top of the screen, or nearly to the top (it turns out it cannot overlay the status bar). That is the only modification I have made to framework-res.apk (FW 1.2.2). The rest of the setup is just putting together the various little apps to make a useful QuickSettings suite. I just made little apps for the things I normally use in my QuickTiles app and then used NookTouch ModManager to assign those apps to the "buttons" of the QuickNav bar. After a reboot (the function changes without a reboot, but the icon change does not happen until you reboot), I had a neat little QuickSettings bar. Also using NTMM I assigned the QuickNav bar to the "clock" (or on the NSTG I think it just says "status"), the last option in NTMM. So now when I tap in that upper right area, I have quick access to Wi-Fi, screen rotation, USB Audio, etc. See screenshot below.
A few limitations:
1. You have no easy control over what the button icons look like unless you make the apps yourself. That's how I achieved the uniform appearance (I borrowed the icons from QuickTiles). If you've used NTMM to assign various apps to the QuickNav bar before, you know you get a grab bag of looks. It is possible to create a custom set of icons and push them into framework-res.apk, but there is more involved and it is not fun. I did it years ago and do not recommend it.
2. The bar will not function from the stock Reader. The very corner area over the actual clock is reserved for bookmarking, and although tapping on a page reveals a black-on-white rendering of the battery icon, clock, etc., this actually goes to the stock Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi/Glowlight quick settings dialogs. NTMM has no effect on this instance.
3. The response of the QuickNav bar is essentially immediate. That said, the individual selections are still apps and so the actual startup of Wi-Fi or turning on the Glowlight, etc., may not be quite so immediate. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
To get it working
Make a backup.
Download the zip file attached below. It contains a framework-update.zip file which is for CWM. If you don't have a CWM card, you can make one from here (use either of the two sd card versions; do not install CWM internally!). Copy the framework-update.zip to the CWM card. Despite the name, this is not an "update" zip, so in the CWM menu selection you are just installing a zip file, not an "update".
Boot into CWM and install the modded framework-res.apk. Exit CWM (this reboots).
Also in the zip below are the little apps I wrote for my particular use. You can try these, but they are Tasker-generated apps so if you don't already have one of my other Tasker apps installed, you will need the two small library files included in the zip. Copy the two files into the locations shown below:
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
Set permissions for both files to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Without these files resident, the apps will not install.
Install whichever of the apps you want to try. Note that some require plugins (for more details, see the original QuickTiles post). Use NTMM to assign the apps to the QuickNav buttons and also to assign the QuickNav bar to the "clock" area. Reboot.
It's not a big deal for me to turn out additional little apps, so if you like this idea but don't see what you want and especially if it's in the QuickTiles app, I would be glad to make a custom app for you.
Undoing it all
Got buyer's remorse? Didn't make a backup first? Uninstall all the little apps. Get a fresh copy of framework-res.apk from the FW 1.2.2 update zip and place it in the framework-update.zip, overwriting the modded apk. Then use CWM to push the original file back to your device.
