I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't find a solution for it a few weeks ago when I started working on my TF.

I've been experiencing a little big of lag when swiping between screens no matter what screen transition combo I tried. Today, I found out that lag is caused by the page indicator in ADW launcher. Disabling it creates smoother transitions. Now when I move between home screens, I get a nice smooth 60 fps. Hope this helps anyone who is not satisfied with the smoothness of multi pic live wallpaper.

hey guys

just got a transformer for xmas, and i would like to set this up too. i am having the same problem as someone else - the simple text icons i am making look very low res, even with i check off anti alias. Can someone please let me know how to do this?

How many columns and rows in adw ex?

icon creations size?

size and settings such as text size for the simple text icon?

i am running android revolution HD if it helps. thanks everyone!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Godswrath:
Love this idea, but one question- How does it look when switching to portrait mode? Could anyone post a before and after screenshot after rotating one of the screens? Thanks in advance! :)

ok guys im pretty knowledgeable when it comes to android but completely a noob at HUBS ive known of it but until know didnt want to spend 50 hrs on a layout but i finally realized that thats what its all about huh.....

Tf101 runing revolver 3.11 pandatest 1.2 kernel no other tweaks or modifications

Now my problem is when i completed the black bar and all the invisible underlying widgets to navigate screens on the first screen all was good i rebooted and changed orientations a few times and worked on this and that and it was all fine stayed right. Then the next morning i started working on the next page got most of it done then one time when i went into and then out of the minimalistic text widget settings all went wrong. all the invisible widgets came out from underneath the black bar and ended up to the right next to the black bar. and no matter what i do cant get it to stay right now. ive seen others have a similar probem i dnt know if theirs end up next to the black bar or not. but ive not seen a definitive solution to it. otherr than try rotating and then back and rebooting neither of which work the only thing i can see working now that i can come up with is reflashing revolver and starting all over man is that a long process even with backups.

My Desktop Layout

I just got an ASUS transformer and after seeing this thread I was inspired to do my own take on "HUBS". I used the Simplicity Text Icons to launch me directly to my individual "HUBS" so I didn't feel the need to have to identify them with brighter text. Plus I figured the wallpapers made sense in my mind that i would be able to immediately identify each "Hub". Check it out:
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] narddawg314:
uhh..yeah that would be nice

doesn't work. 10x10 columns/rows, auto stretch, overlapping allowed..doesn't fit to the edge. I'm on page 10 of this thread.. got a looong way to go :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
The issue lies is.n ADW EX's newest update. I think 1.3.3 was the last one to use full real estate.

What home launcher are you using? I'm using LauncherPro Plus and was not able to keep the top icons (for applications, theme + sign, etc). And couldnt figure out how to do the Simple Text version of jumping to other "hubs."
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] e0zin14:
Yeah that's what I was afraid of: switching to another launcher after setting everything up ha ha. I was able to get rid of the 'phone' look but I've searched everywhere to see if there was a work-around. I was able to create an icon to jump to other screens with LP but I can't resize it. I think I might just get ADW if I can't figure it out *sigh. Thanks though and btw great layout!

Bars Flush on Side

First of all, first post, pretty excited to find this forum! Tons of great info!

Through watching several of the videos and reading through most of this thread several times, I think I have experimented my way into figuring out and applying the hubs. One question, which I haven't found answered yet, so that may be a bit discouraging if it is that easy noone else had to ask, lol, how do I get the bar widgets to be flush with the side of the screen?

I saw one post talking about how to get the bar widget flush with his clock widget but nothing about flush with the side. :confused:

I have also read where it should work with 10x10 rows and columns with auto stretch, though this doesn't seem to make it work either...

Thanks for the great thread and any answers you can provide!

Update, found a post by Fliparsenal mentioning that this is a bug in ADW. Anyone found a workaround or know which version of ADW doesn't have the bug (and where to find it)?

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

Well, I confirmed what my wife always tells me. I am in fact blind. Fliparsenal already replied with a version, on this page no less, sigh. Sorry. In my defense, by page 57, my eyes were starting to bleed, making it harder to see. :)

V1.3.3 seems to be the last viable version of adw for flush screen. Any idea where it can be found?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cyriak:
In your opinion is there any chance I could try achieving the same kind of hubs on a galaxy nexus (vertically of course) knowing that the resolution is the same as the TF101.

Not sure about ADW and other tools used in the hubs regarding compatibility with ICS.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] gbatt:
Wow! I love your setup man! I'm sorry if this was answered somewhere else in this monster of a thread, but what are all these widgets you're using!? Especially the Weather one, the systems resources one, the calendar one, heck they're all cool, can you just lists them all!?

Good Widgets has been the one thing that seems hit or miss for me since I got my Transformer. There should be a thread that lists all the great Widgets with pics on what they look like.

Crap! And apparently I cant even post a reply with already posted pictures intact because I'm a newbie. Ah well, hopefully y'all know what setup I'm talking about without the pictures.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Den70:
Wow. These hub homescreens look very nice! I recently pimped my phonescreens and I think this will be the new look of my Transformer :)

The making of the hub and shortcuts is clear to my but there is one thing I don't understand. In the homescreens in this topic I see a lot of very cool landscape wallpapers with interiors and music or movie images. How do you get such a landscape image (16:9) on your screen without cropping? Is this the multiwallpaper app? I don't have that because I don't need multi wallpapers.

Normally when you select an image as your homescreen the image will be cropped. In landscape mode the under half is cropped and in portrait mode the sides are cropped.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] gbatt:
Yes, the Multipicture Live Wallpaper app lets you apply high resolution wallpapers without forcing you to crop like the built in wallpaper app makes you do, which I always hated.

Its definitely worth picking up. I don't use the multi function either, one wallpaper per screen, but it makes applying the wallpaper much easier, you can even re-size it if you need to!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Den70:
Tnx! I will try this app tonight.

Edit:

I tried it last night but until now backgrounds are loading very slow. Also when I rotate the screen there is a serious lag.

My 2 Cents

I have been following this thread almost since day one and am very pleased to see the response it is receiving. For a few months now I have been on and off the whole "HUB" thing, this is due to either app or ROM issues but I would like to say that all these problems seem to be fixed now that Honeycomb ROM's are now supporting full GPU hardware acceleration on the UI... Anyway long story short I threw my HUBs back together and created a short video for your enjoyment.

A few things to keep in mind.

1: I did not edit the video because I am Lazy.

2: I captured the video from the HDMI out so It cuts off the status bar.

3: #2 Doesn't matter because I am hiding the statusbar with [Tasker Script] StatusBar Hide/Show found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1301857

4: I did not add commentary because quote #1.

5: I turned the animation speeds down for the video so it would capture it at a decent frame rate.

6: ADW and Multi Picture wallpaper are set to Random/Random.

wallpaper aside, does the hubs setup use a lot of resources/ram?

does it affect performance?

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] flaxbourton:
I have finished my Widgets hubs complete with invisible shortcuts to the other hubs set behind each widget.

Question though, I did all of this on my wife's TF201. Mine arrives tomorrow. Is there any way for me to transfer the hubs and icons over to my new TF201 from hers while maintaining the widget and icon locations? I was thinking possibly through some sort of backup/restore app, nit I think most of those usually just restore the app data and not specifics on icon and widget use and locations.

THANKS!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ninjajukes:
I dont think you can mate, when ive tried restoring my ADW EX all my widgets say problem loading text.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wikedbubble:
You can restore widgets if you use Titanium backup and backup your application with it's data. Then under "system" apps look for "application widgets" and make sure you back that up. This will backup all the available widget data on the system. Then restore the apps and data, ie: ADW Launcher and minimalistic text. Then restore "Application Widgets". With ADW make sure you backup the desktop configuration and keep a copy of the config file because titanium backup will not pull it from the sd card.

I made a video for you.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Sicraven6:
If you go into the adwex setting and speed up the scrolling speed it helps a lot. Also I switched from clemsyn kernel to the one provided by roach and it dramatically helped with widget responsiveness (i.e youtube, and bookmarks). It's running really smooth for me now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Sicraven6:
It sucks that there isn't an option to just shut it off. When you reboot it appears again. Not much of an issue though. Good find.

First off make sure Dockbar is enabled under adw settings\UI Settings\Hidden Dockbar

Now under adw settings\General Behaviour\Gestures assign either the Swipe down or Swipe up action to Open/close DockBar

Ok, I need to steal your front page widgets. I love the layout.

Please list the widgets and attach any saved configs that you can. THANKS!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] FloridaK:
This is what I have so far, its very much a work in progress right now. The gaming screen needs a decent gaming widget or two, the infotainment screen needs a set of wallpapers.

I may expand my screens to 7, that way I'll have the current screens, but infotainment will be split into news / social and sport, the final screen will be settings.

The icons either side of the app draw icon are shortcuts to the other screens, this way each screen is either a swipe or a button press away. This will require a rework if I go to 7 screens.

If you want the wallpapers and or icons I can probably upload them somewhere, just let me know. The widgets are fairly standard ones, but again, if you want to know what they are then give me a shout.

Finally, massive thanks to fliparsenal for creating this thread and showing me how good the Transformer can look, I'm loving it even more then when I first unboxed it.

Need help!!

I have ADW Launcher and I have 4 screens. Using main dock only with no secondary dock.

I have the live wallpaper installed and in the settings I have 4 custom settings (one for each screen). For some reason, the application only rotates photos for one photo album and the screen specific settings aren't working. When I double tap to change backgrounds, it rotates between one album regardless of the screen.

I see new pictures in the screen preview before hitting "set wallpaper" but once I set, it messes up. So annoying!!

I believe it's not recognizing multiple screens. It can only recognize one screen, and this is screen 2. Any suggestions?

Fixed it....Need to enable wallpaper scrolling. So stupid.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rpavich:
could you let me know how you got this to work...I can't get wallpaper to change when I scroll from screen to screen in ADW EX.

EDITED TO ADD: YOU HAVE TO CHECK "WALLPAPER SCROLLING" IN ADWEX.

Also, ADW EX shows a dock bar at the bottom of the screen when I have it set to "none"....has anyone had that problem?

Hi All,

All of the hubs setups I've seen so far are awesome and have given me great ideas for my tablet. Right now I'm trying to find a music player that displays album art similar to Mizuu Movies, the music player I'm currently using is Cubed (3) from the market and it works very well, but I would like the album art displayed like I do in Mizuu.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bigt305:
Hey guys. I've done the hub layout on my TF101, and while it looks great,it severely hinders performance.

I'm curious of how everyone else's setups are going. For me, waking the screen up causes all the widgets to re-draw themselves. Scrolling through screens can get unbearably laggy.

My tablet is not rooted (yet) so maybe it'll get smoother once ICS comes to the TF101, or maybe not. But for the time being, the couple hours I spent customizing are for nothing, as it is not reliably smooth for a launcher

I'm using ADW with no transition animations. I've dumbed the settings down, and while it helps a little, it still is lagged. I'm concious of memory use and background process and services. And while running the bare minimum, with only a couple news widgets going, the problem persists.

Its not continuous, but its often enough for me to not use it. Anyone else in the same boat? And what are the opinions from those of you who have OC'd your tablets.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Jonah!:
No one kows how to solve it?

Anyway, that's my hubs setup, any comment (positive or not) is appreciated.

SW used:

Minimalistic text (backround colors)

Simple text (shortcuts)

Fancy Widgets (Weather)

Android Pro Widgets (Calendar/Agenda)

Minimal Reader Pro (RSS)

Stock Bookmarks and image frame

Easypad (Notes Widget)

Apps Organizer ( Games hub folders)

Running ADW EX with transition animations on , with Multipicture live wallpaper's memory use settled on "Medium" and color depth on 16.

Different HUB setups can vary in memory usage, I have noticed when more widgets are used you will see performance issues and ADW EX launcher will crash every so often usually when trying to add more widgets. Since widgets are basically the program running in a scaled form the more widgets visible the more processes are running. Basically there are a lot of variables to consider when converting to a "HUB" style layout but the most important thing would be how much eye candy do you want? and what is the performance hit by changing the Launcher app, or how often news updates and weather and all that so be conservative. To give you an Idea I have attached a video of my memory usage. But keep in mind I am rooted running Revolver 3.11 and custom kernel with O.C @1.2ghz so performance will vary.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bigt305:
Thanks for posting that vid. I've considered using Simpletext links instead of Minimalist Text widgets for preserving memory. The size of the links are small and not worth it imo, though.

My setup has 5 screens, each screen has the same links menu. So 4 links per page, making it 20 links, and multiply that by 2 because each link has 2 Minimalist Text widgets behind it.

So there are a total of 40 Minimalist Text widgets. A couple news widgets, Asus weather and email, and thats it. I would think that everyone else's setups are very similar in regards to the amount of widgets. Is anyone using Simpletext instead of Minimalist Text?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] hacker01:
Read my posts from a few pages back and see if that helps you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bigt305:
If you're referring to the page indicators, I've already done that, but it does make an improvement. As much as I don't want to, I'm going to replace all the minimalist's with simple's

Tasker

Hey. I've been reading through this forum, and I really want to implement the hub style on my Ice Cream Sandwich tablet, but I don't want to use ADW. I've already read about how Tasker can be used to create shortcuts to specific homescreens, but I've never used the app before and I'm more than a bit confused about how to do this. If anyone out there could walk me through it, I'd really appreciate it.
