I found this HUB stuff interesting and wanted to try it out. I've already downloaded ADW EX and Minimalistic text. I started to try and create the left navigation, but am stuck. Everytime I create a 4x2 for example and follow the instructions in the 1st post, I can't figure out A.) how to change the text to the word movies for example. B.) How to make it link to changing to another homescreen.

Those are my 2 first complications, and I'm sure I'll have many more. Thanks guys
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nabil alami:
im not sure what your question is, but if you meant how to change the shortcut icon then here is what you should do (or at least what i did)

1.add the screen shortcut.

2. using simple text make the icon you want. and save it as icon. (ex. movies, games, etc.)

3. long press on the screen shortcut and press edit.

4. delete the text and click on the icon (still in edit mode). (looks like 2squares on top of each other)

5. choose the icon you made from simple text.

6. Done

hope this solved your problem. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] RubenRybnik:
Just a heads up ... Nova's latest Beta now supports the "Screen Jump" activity and works perfectly with Minimalistc text, just thought I'd mention it in case anyone wanted to try it. I'm using it now, seems great!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] juannicolas:
It seems I can't get it installed.

duh! wonder why, Android 4.0 required..

Apex Launcher Won't let you put App Draw folder shortcuts on screen
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ChernobylGuy:
So, I wasted two days on making "hubs" design, everything's cool, but then I connect my tf201 to dock and ADW Launcher EX crashes and still not launches until turning off and turning on some time later. I used lot of Desktop Visualizer-made buttons with invisible launcher-buttons. Any ideas how to fix this? I would be awful if all my work'll go to waste.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] geowolf1000:

Love the hub look. Putting this on my touch pad. Have a question, what is the Gmail setup that is in the 1st post on the home screen with the black couch and orange pillows?

Thanks in advance.

That's the stock ASUS mail widget (I currently have it on my Transformer Prime)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Quozl:
Has anyone been able to get MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to work properly with a new ASUS Transformer Prime TF700?

Currently if I set it up to display a different image for each screen, for whatever reason it is only showing the image for screen 2 (Music) on all screens even though in the settings for the app I have added each screen and selected it use a different category from 500px photo stream.

I have tried the work around for home screens with no effect it still just keeps showing the same wall paper on all screens.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers Q

EDIT: Disregard found the solution in this video
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Quozl:
Anyone here using Nova Launcher having issues with the wallpapers aligning if using more than 5 screens?

I'm finding that the second and 6th wall paper don't lock into place and show some of the wallpaper from the screen beside it. This only happens if using more than 5 screens and only with Nova, if using ADW its fine.

I'd like to use NovaLauncher due to some of its features not present in Nova but am reluctant to pay for the Prime version if it has this issue with multiple screens. I am using Nova in conjunction with MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and it is setup as per the tutorial video with seperate folders for each page theme's images.

Cheers Q
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Moonbloom:
I'm currently using Apex Pro launcher with hubs on my Transformer Prime and it works perfectly, you might want to try that one? Nearly the same options as Nova (:

Is there anyway to make cwm of Hub already done my brother erased everything off my tablet and I didnt make a backup with the hub installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jbaruch76:
hwere did the icons come from? specifically the scorecenter one, i can't seem to find it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Olorin2:
Thanks everyone for the great info here. Started reading from the beginning of this thread and was bummed when I realized ADW no longer lets you stretch the bars to the edge of the screen. It also seems to improperly crop all the wallpaper on my Asus TF700.

Does anyone know if the other launchers (Nova, Apex, etc) allow you to stretch bars to the edge? I'd like to do something like in the OP but ADW doesn't appear to be getting enough support by the developer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Globespy:
Are you talking about ADWEX or the free ADW?

I'm pretty sure the former allows this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Olorin2:
Using ADW EX! From what I've read (and experienced first hand), the latest version no longer lets you do this. You will have a gap of a centimeter or two between the bar and the edge of the screen.

I seem to be have trouble overlapping the the minimal text on the blank spot i do as instructed in the video but i get a red box and the widget stays in the same place

My new hubs layout!

Heres my new hubs layout
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] GLO:
Hi,

Is there a way to have a hidden hub?

One that has a hidden link, but cant be seen when scrolling from left to right between the regular hubs?

I'm want to create a 'private' hub with banking apps, photos and other stuff.

I only just started using it today and I wanted to know if i can make a page hidden, so that it doesn't come up when scrolling left and right? I would access through a hidden link on the Home page.

ie

page 1 - page 2 - page 3 - page 4 -page 5 - page 6 - page 7

Home Social Music Media Books Games Private

Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] thorin33:
Has anyone done a hub layout in KatKiss 4.4.2? Did the upgrade from HC 3.2 with ADW EX "Hub" Layout and it does not function correctly in 4.4.2. If you have successfully created a hub in 4.4.x which launcher did you use?

TIA
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] FusionAxis:
I have done hubs layouts on 4.4.4 with both nova prime and adw ex. Both see to work just fine
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Under ADW Settings go to: General Behaviour > Animation and Effects and check ON 'Wallpaper Scrolling'.

Make a custom layout, in the add menu, go to 'Misc' and then add a 'Static Text' box. Click on that box and then you can add the text
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] NeoStuey:
First of all thanks fliparsenal for the great idea.

I have gone for a minimalistic approach as I am not a fan of lots of icons or active widgets so have compromised and I think what I have works well and still looks nice. I'm currently using the wallpapers that fliparsenal provided as they really do look nice on the transformer. I'll likely look to make some changes going forwards but for now I'm very happy with my 6 screen template so that's for the future.

On each screen I have made sure that all of the screen titles have a function when touched and turned off the highlight when touched option in minimalistic text. So I now have the following launchers when any of the titles are touched and they launch as follows:

music - ubermusic

home - deskclock

movies - mizuu movies (I'm using mVideoPlayer as my default player as it allows you to create a resuming of videos shortcut in the wizzbar app)

twitter - seesmic twitter app (I don't use Facebook but seesmic is able to link to an account if you have one)

books - I have set this up slightly differently in that if you click on books nothing will happen but overlaid two minimalistic text shortcuts one labelled epub and the other kindle. Click on epub and cool reader launches and click kindle and kindle launches.

gallery - stock gallery app launches

In addition to these on the home page if I touch to the left of the asus clock date

it will launch the stock calendar app using a shortcut in the minimalistic widget that the asus clock widget is overlaid on top of. The top right of the home screen has the battery monitor widget.

The gallery screen has half a dozen of the stock photo frame widgets overlaid over one another.

Also I have placed on every screen two hidden launcher actions, I replaced the stock icons with a transparency and deleted the icon text label so they are hidden. In the very bottom left corner is the hide/show action bar shortcut and above that is the open close dock bar command.

In the dockbar I have placed the icons to the apps I want fastest access to outside of the two folders at the end of it. One is for games and the other for apps, I have excluded those apps that are launched from the own screen or from the dockbar or wizz bar. The wizz bar replicates the icons from the dockbar excluding the folders and in addition to those icons I have added icons so that I can get back to seesmic, ubermusic, resume last video, cool reader, kindle or the gallery quickly and without fuss.

Sorry for the flood of pictures but I hope they help convey what I have done.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
impressive work guys, i like your take on this layout. check the nook color version too as people created unique ways to quickly access all the home screen,
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vari9:
Fliparsenal.....can you share your adw settings and those widgets....srry if this has been asked and answered b4....
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vari9:
Minimalist text doesnt work on adw launcher....it doesnt show the widget....
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] FloridaK:
I can assure you it does, I'm using it on each of my screens and I'm using adw.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rpavich:
Man...I'm frustrated.

This was working for me...and now a problem has developed.

I can't get anything but static wallpaper to display. When I choose "folder" in Multipicture live wallpapers all I get is "unable to display" on the black screen.

I had it working before....but now...no dice.

I've checked "scrollable wallpaper" in ADW EX and I've cleared the cache of MPLW several times and retried everything...but no dice...

Does anyone have an idea?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vrundmc:
Sometimes restarting after selecting the folder will clear bugs. Worked for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
I'm actually using launcher pro
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rpavich:
This is driving me nuts!

One time it will work...but resize a widget then the clock is behind...then it works..then it doesn't....arggg!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vrundmc:
Whenever I add minimalistic text, it works initially with the widgets in front of the black background but as soon as I change orientation, the widgets hide behind the black background. Can someone help me with this?

Also, anytime I save my minimalistic text settings they never stick. Restore does nothing for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] skydirt:
I was having the exact same issue, until I discovered that the comments suggested earlier in this thread about making sure the widgets you want on the top are placed out before the min text bar. This does not work for me!

For me, I have to place out my min text bar first! Then I place out all the widgets I want over the min text bar and re size them into place into the bar, at this time they appear "under the bar" and not want you want....

BUT!

They don't stay that way! I open ADW settings, click "restart adw" and POOF!

the bar is in the background and the widgets I wanted on top are on top and it stays this way after every reboot!

Well unless you touch or adjust the min text bar in any way... then the next time you reboot or restart adw it will be back on top. :(

Adw seems to prioritize which widgets will be on top by those you interacted with last.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vari9:
Can someone with minimalist text working on adw can upload their adw settings and also tell the version of adw....
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] murd0ck77:
I just found this thread and wow I really love the look of these hubs you guys have found (spent a lot of time today messing with it). I hopefully attached a screenshot of one of mine. I dont seem to have the issues with adw that you are having. Just wondering if you have the paid version? I have version 1.3.3.1.

Murd0ck
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vrundmc:
The issues are with widgets not staying on top of the black border...You didn't use that technique.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
Hey guys, here's my desktop setup using the hubs layout.

[YOUTUBE]Ql70wkmBGUo[/YOUTUBE]

Let me know if you like it or have any questions.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ajamils:
Nice work. How did you get the App drawer icon and search on the right side? Are you using ADW launcher?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
Yeah I'm using adw ex.

You can add an app drawer icon by long pressing your home screen and selecting launcher shortcuts.

Then you can add the google search icon to your desktop> long press it> edit> select the icon to change it to an icon of your choice.

Then use the black bar method described here to put a black bar over your two icons.

[YOUTUBE]i1asi6TQ0V0[/YOUTUBE]

Hope this helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
Looks like there just regular ADW icons.

Can you post details on how you did the side nav bar? Looks really sleek. Is the part that corresponds to the screen your on just Minimalistic Text and the rest regular text icons?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
Basically I just used 5 minimalistic text widgets. 4 are 2x1 and the one that I want to correspond to my screen is 3x1. None of them have actions assigned to them, actually I disabled action on click so I wouldn't accidentally press on them.

For the home screen you'll notice that I overlapped a battery stats widget and clock widget over the home widget.

That's basically it, pretty easy. I can upload a video tutorial if your still stumped.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vrundmc:
How many rows/columns are you using in your settings for ADW?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
I don't remember the exact number but I know I increased the rows and columns by two from whatever the default is.

Sorry about that guys, should have told you that from the beginning!

Post some screenies if you used some ideas of mine, I'd like to see!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MM2222:
May I know how u hide the dockbar on the top?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
Long press home screen> launcher actions> hide/show action bar.

Just press that icon and it'll hide it. When you restart your transformer it will be showing again so just press the icon again and your set.

You'll notice I just left that icon on my home screen for quick access.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MM2222:
Awesome!! Thanks a lot
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
OK, cool. Ima try to throw something together tonight.Maybe try to get the bar to actually be a nav bar :) What battery widget are you using? All of mine are ugly
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MM2222:
Oops, I meet another problem. There are some spaces on the top and bottom that can not be filled with the widget, even though the bar is hided. Is that normal?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
No that's not normal.

Try this. Make sure the dock bar setting are actually set to"none". And increase the rows and columns in home screen setting by two.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Mikey:
Actually im looking to find a utube vid of how to create the black bar. the video above the bar was pre-created and just applied :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
How I do it is:

1. Put the widgets/icons you want on TOP of the blackbar FIRST. You need these before anything.

2. Select a Minimalistic Text Widget, I usually use 1x1. Clear out the text options (Predefined layout > Custom, delete all of the things there)

3. Once you're back at your homescreen and see the MT Widget, just long press and re size it to your liking.

You HAVE to make sure that whatever you want on TOP of the blackbar is put on the screen FIRST. Anything put on after will go underneath.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
Download the minimalistic text app from the market and create a widget just like he did in the video, pretty straightforward.

I'll be making an in depth video tutorial for my setup within a couple days and I'll

be sure to include the black bar in that tutorial.

I'll update from this thread when the video is up, unless there are enough people wanting a new thread based solely on my "remix" of hubs.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Mikey:
For some reason i cant stretch the bar over the text. hmmmmmmmmmmm

Edit: Found the option in adwEx Ui screen preferences that allows it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vrundmc:
when switching from landscape mode, my widgets go back underneath. annoying.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vrundmc:
my work so far...thanks to those in the thread for their help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vrundmc:
more screens
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vrundmc:
last one promise
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Wow...I'm very impressed. Please post a tutorial so I can add it. Awesome work
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
Wow that's awesome! Always love the minimalistic view :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MM2222:
It's solved after I increase the columns. You are great. Thanks again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
Hey guys I made a quick tutorial video last night! Here it is:

[YOUTUBE]kQp5FLW1-98[/YOUTUBE]

If you guys have any questions please feel free to ask in the comments there or on here :D!

Hope this helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vrundmc:
Nice video. I have 10 columns and 8 rows...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
I just recently changed to that after I saw your screen shots, I like it a lot more! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
Here's mine, inspired by Cinder :D Haven't finished yet, my system screen is empty. Cool thing is, I made the side bar an actual nav bar, so when I click music or system, it goes to that screen. Did this by putting a transparent icon underneath the corresponding widget. Actually it's a little above the word, since I can't put it in the middle of a 3x2 widget :) I may make them 3x3 just for that reason.

Background info: Screen size: 9x9 Auto-stretch enabled, page indicator on the bottom set to auto-hide. 3 Screens for now, thinking of putting a games hub or social hub. I only use facebook though, and finding wallpapers for that wouldn't be easy :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
Ohhhhh that's a good idea :D

You could have 6 of the same shortcut to set on top if your 3x2 widget, that way no matter where you press on it you'll hit. Know what I mean?? :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
Didn't think of that lol. I'll have to try that later, I'm tired of long pressing and resizing :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
I hear that haha. Good job on that idea man, I might be stealing it ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Ewarroof:
Super slick!

But for some reason when I drag the minimalistic text boxes down, the widgets dont go inside. The box just goes red?

I had ADW launcher EX.

Also how do you get widgets right to the edge of the screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] brett_day:
I am using ADW EX. when I make the widget I cannot make it go right to the edge of the screen.The widget sits about an inch from the side of the screen. I have tried moving it, and re-sizing it but it always changes back how do you make the widget sits flush against the edge of the screen? Have columns and rows set to 8 and 6 and have tried changing them as well but have had no luck. Any help wuld be greatly appreciated :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vrundmc:
ADW settings > UI Settings > Screen preferences > Advanced settings > Auto stretch

Make sure widget overlapping is selected in the previous screen as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] brett_day:
still no dice :( overlapping is selected as well
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] brett_day:
got it figured out. go into adw settings, ui settings, main dock, main dock style, then select none (expanded desktop)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Ewarroof:
Got both working but when I put a black line behind widgets. The widgets end up behind the black line. Any way to fix?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] pojieps:
I can't seem to get your video to load. Anyway you could post the link?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
Yep here it is :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Updated with full instructions!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] brett_day:
You rock! I am have spent the best part of my day tinkering with my TF101, and i must say that it now looks incredible! Thanks so much for your guide.

Now, I do have a question. What is the best free music player widget? Are there any that display the art work etc? I know google music does, but I was hoping for a widget with larger album art work thumbs. any suggestions?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
I made the first post :D Glad I could help everyone :)

EDIT: I find a 9x9 home screen ideal. Everything fits nicely, and there seems to be no slither of screen not covered by MT if you want. Just check out my prev post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Ewarroof:
MT black bars eventually gets in front of the widget :(

I put the widgets I need on first then resize it, it works then but then maybe iif I rotate screen or go into an app, it comes out infront
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] reidar.ostrem:
Hi Guys!

Is there any possibility to actually have the MT bars launch an activity to change to the correct homescreen when pressed ??
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
Yes, if you are using adw do this:

Long press home screen> launcher actions> go to screen

then long press the icon> press edit> select the icon> select picture> adw dock bars?> select one of the dock pictures, this makes the icon transparent for whatever reason.

Now place a bunch if these invisible icons on top of your black bar.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] reidar.ostrem:
Great! Will try it tonight, your setup is stunning..
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CinderWild:
Thanks a lot! Its pretty easy to duplicate, you can do it too :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] reidar.ostrem:
I've been seeing that you are getting the bars and icons stretched all the way to the sides.. I've tried the two options mentioned in adw but not luck.. Is there any trick to this?
