ive given up on using simple text, and am instead using mininalistic Widgets, but here's another problem. When I set up a minmalistic widget black bar as a second layer, after a few minutes it resets, and becomes the primary layer, obscuring everything behind it. Is this a problem with adw launcher?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Your other icons appear OK so I'm gathering that it's isolated to Simple Text. Try uninstalling it and then reinstall it again to see if it clears your issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] poetter747:
You have to disable the main dock to get rid of the gaps
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
When Minimalistic Text does that then try rotating the tablet and the icon behind the black bar should come to the front.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] derf26:
I just tried it, and it doesn't seem to work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Try rebooting the tablet and see if it will work after that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] snakedoctorjw:
How did you get the side widget or how did you create it so you (guessing here) jump to that page or just make it highlight when on it???​
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] foamyxz:
That has worked thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Check the navigation part of the tutorial as for the highlight you can change the color in Minimalistic Text settings.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] snakedoctorjw:
WOW!!!!!! You know after the 5th time its all frickin clear now:D! Thanks man!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nextelbuddy:
ok i feel really stupid right now. i read all 35 pages got excited and downloaded eveyr piece listed in the OP.

but i cant find the actual HUBS APP.

is HUBS an actual APP or is it an IDEA of using various APPS together ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
There is no HUBS app. It is a way to give each of your media a page of it's own. The apps mentioned in the OP is what makes up HUBS. For instance, 'Video' is to give all of your video related material a HUB such as YouTube, personal videos, Netflix, etc., etc. All of your Internet related apps would go under a HUB named NET and so forth. You have to design your HUBS and make it unique in your own way. Then, as it's optional you can share your unique HUBS with the community here or not. It is up to you entirely.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nextelbuddy:
gotcha, the way it was presented in the OP as well as the link at the bottom of the OP where it says HUBs for Nook, Asus, galaxy Tab all made it seem like HUBs was an APP that worked in collaboration with the mentioned APPs to download to bring it all together.

so i looked everywhere for this "app"

lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
If you have trouble with getting HUBS setup and working just let us know as there are plenty of people here in the community to guide you in the right direction and get you going. Good luck and hope to see some of your HUBS posted when your done.

Cheers...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] snakedoctorjw:
You know nextelbuddy has a good thought there! In a way. But doing an apk bundle download of these called HUBS!!!! lol I want to say thank you to every one for this ! Could not be happier.

(now how the hell do I take a screen shot like yall do??)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
There is a Simple theme on the Market for ADWLauncher EX in case your wondering.

To take a screenshot just go into settings > Screen and make sure Screenshot is checked ON, then whenever you want to take a screenshot just press and hold the Recent Apps Key.

EDIT: Minimal Theme for ADWLauncher EX.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
That's why its called a [Layout].

Like this guy right here!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] snakedoctorjw:
Before I found this post I went through all the themes and never saw this one! I combined a few and just used bits here and there on my phone and tab. Thanks for the link though.

And than you for the info on screen capture!

Im not finding that option?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
You don't have this in your TF settings?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] snakedoctorjw:
Lol nope! I have only three options brightness,animation,and time out.

What is wrong with my machine?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
What is the version of Android that you have? You should have version 3.2. If you do then I would do a factory reset to get you back the way it suppose to be. There's no telling what else is missing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] snakedoctorjw:
I have an A500 3.2 has not come down yet and root is not open yet. I'm on 3.1 build Acer_A500_4.010.13_com_Gen2

Kernal 2.6.36.3

I guess ill have to do a video again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Artood2s:
Yeah, that particular screenshot implementation is an Asus thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] snakedoctorjw:
Ahhh I see damn! Also did not realize till now I was in the Asus forum.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Pimmr:
Hi guys,

So I really like the HUBS idea and started working on my own. I really am not that good at this all so its not that fancy as some of you do but I like it so far. I just have 7 screens and used MT widgets to create the hubs, for the rest there's nothing special, just some widgets like pulse, battery,date etc., Running HC3.2 Prime1.9 oc to 1.6 Ghz. All aps latest market versions.

screenshot: http://db.tt/xuh7BlWN

When it works it works fine (duh) but my main issue is that ADW crashes a lot. Not sure when it is triggered but but when I flip my screens sometimes it just stalls and crashes.

I know this does not necesarily have to do with my hubs but I do know that before I was using this hubs setup it didn't happen.

This is the crash log from ADW:

One thing in particular catches my attention:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

I don't know if there is a limit to the number of widgets you can have but I think I have about 7*7 MT screen links= 49 + 7*2 MT empty widgets = total about 63 MT widgets and evenso much launcher shortcuts to redirect to the various screens.

Are there any ADW settings that I can do to prevent this or does anyone experience similar behavour? Any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] farr3ll:
is it possible to use screen shortcuts in launcher pro like you can in ADW?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] 1pudding1:
Hi, yeah I've had the same happen to me a few times. I've now set just one wallpaper without scrolling and it's much better, haven't had a crash or jerkiness for a couple of days.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Hey pimmr. Users have reported large wallpapers tend to slow the launcher down. Try using a new batch and see how it goes
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Pimmr:
Thanks guys, I'll give it a go!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] farr3ll:
I'm having issues with ADWlauncher EX 1.3.3.1 where the wallpapers don't change between homescreens. It works on launcherpro and standard launcher. Anyone else have this issue with a workaround?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
enable wallpaper scrolling
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] farr3ll:
thanks man, thats the ticket.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] farr3ll:
When trying to put a home screen shortcut behind a text field as per trekkie0927's method, the text field will glow red and won't allow me to overlap the two. I've tried everything, any hints?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
To overlap the two you need to long press on your widget and select 'Edit' and then drag the arrow over the icon. It won't let you place it into place but it will allow you to drag it into place. Check THIS tutorial for better reference.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] kwabbernoot:
Love this idea. Here are two of my screens. I've tried to keep it all very clean. I like it.

Groeten...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] d3l1:
nice idea to connect the two black bars, looks really neat and gives an extra level of simplicity and linear design.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] farr3ll:
I'm trying to completely remove the top actionbar in ADW launcher. I've managed to remove all the search and settings icons on the right hand side but can't work out how to remove the app drawer icon on the left other than to use the show/hide launcher.

Any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] frigide:
when i open Minimalistic Text it opens in portraid and olse i can not load a made widget?

It says it load a widget but nothing there. I dont like te make 5 times the sam layout. Someone with sulotion?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
These issues are addressed in the op
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sg2point0:
Thanks for all the great ideas. However, I'm having an issue were I can't make my black bar go all the way to the top. I'm using minimalistic widgets for the bars. I create a 2x1 and then try to resize it, but it will not go all the way to the top of th screen, even with the activity bar disabled.

I'm using ADW EX, Simple text, and Min Widgets.

Any ideas,

TIA
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Paradaz:
I have the same problem.....can't make it go all the way across left to right either, its as if there is a margin all the way around each screen. What's weird is that when I created the first one it was fine - I resized it and then the problem started. I'm using 8 columns and 6 rows as recommended in the video.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Do you have 'Auto Stretch' checked ON? It allows you to move icons and widgets to the grid space.

As far as going all the way to top, I don't believe it is possible as there seems to be some type of buffer there that prevents it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Paradaz:
it doesn't matter whether 'auto-stretch' is enabled or not, I see the same behaviour.......strange. when I long press the bar and stretch it, it stops a column away from the edge of the screen. If I attempt to drag it to the edge of the screen it snaps back to the same place as if the invisible margin is there.

Edit... it is fine in portrait mode but not in landscape

Fixed.....have to have the ADW dock disabled
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
I found out how to get it to go all the way to the top. You have to disable desktop indicators.

Try restarting ADWLauncher EX and also make sure that overlap widgets is checked on in the settings.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sg2point0:
And the fix was...

... removing the desktop indicator. :D

Thanks a lot, once I disabled the desktop indicator, the bars went to the top.

Now to finish getting this the way I want it.

Thanks again,

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Tempie007:
thanks for the guide! however i have some problems with adw ex and minimalistic text, someone knows whats going on here? both problems have probably somethingto do with screen settings?

1) in adwlauncher ex, i have blank spaces on the left and right of my screen. so i cannot use my entire screen! i triedvarious settings and changed desktop rows/colums 10/10 6/8 but it does not help. must be a setting of some kind?

2) in minimalistic text, when i create 2 transparant textblocks, i am unable to fit them next to eachother: they will overlap eachother, resulting in an ugly black stroke betweeen them due to the transparant block overlapping.

thanks in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Paradaz:
Look at my post a few above (#375) ....I had exactly the same problem and I had to disable the dockbar to get minimalistic text to push to the far right, far left or all the way across. Hopefully it is the same problem you are experiencing and that will fix it for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Tempie007:
thanks, that fixed problem 1, i think this guide is based on the old adw ex?

will send it to threadowner so that he can make the guide even better :)

problem 2 persists, unable to put 2 textblocks next to eachother without overlapping them, however hiding the invisible dock made it somewhat better, now onle 5 pixels room between them :)

edit: enabling auto stretch fixed problem2

now some work to do!! thanks all
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
use launcher pro or vtl.

side note: i finally uploaded my wallpapers (op), enjoy
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] blanksuspect:
this is probably a dumb question, but what is that video stack widget on the movies screen? I'm having a hard time trying to locate it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
mizuu from the market
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
Thanks for the upload :D Perfect timing too, because ADW Ex was just updated to work with 3.2, meaning my epic Transformer is going to get a whole lot epicer!

Quick question: does anyone know how to make a widget overlap? I'm trying to get Extended Control toggles above the minimalistic text bar since you can't click them when they are under the bar.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] KeeperXV:
If you put the widget you wish to go at the back last, put it at the top, then resize down over the top of the other widgets and it should work

Edit: however when you reboot, it may possibly show up reversed, in which case, put the back widget on your screen first, then put on the rest, do the overlap so the behind widget is at the front, then reboot and it should be the right way around. (hope that makes sense)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Artood2s:
Awesome Concept

Awesome idea fliparsenal. Thanks for turning me on to some new apps and widgets. Here is my WIP "Hubs" (it's actually improved from when I took the screenshots). I'd rather not have to scroll too many homescreens -and I don't even think I have enough widgets to fill 5 - so I kept it to 3 screens.

I'm using 2 docks in Launcher Pro. The first is the app drawer, browser, Gmail, and shortcuts (using Folder Organizer) to Reading and App Download folders. The 2nd dock contains folder shortcuts to Games, Multimedia, Tools, Reference and Web Apps. Before I used Desktop Vizualizer to create the folder shortcuts, but in this way, they are much sleeker and can be launched from any of the homescreens.

Transitions used are "Scale" in Launcher Pro and "Crossfade" in MultiPicture LW.

I have also modified the "swype gesture" on two of the icons to launch the wallpaper settings and another to launch System Tuner.

The improvements I have made since the shots were taken are mostly cosmetic:

Increased transparency of black headings.

Added shadow effect to all heading, date, and weather widgets.

Changed app drawer icon.

Re-arranged widgets in the actual Hubs to reduce clutter.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] guttertrash:
Did you mention what the calendar widget is in the first picture? I've been trying to find something clean and simple like that - Pure Grid was the closest I came, but it's still not quite right. Thanks

Edit: nevermind, I found the transparent skin for Pure Grid. Not sure if it's exactly the same calendar, but it works
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
Didn't work, but thanks for trying anyways. I don't get the whole resizing/overlapping thing..

Also, does multipicture have a limit of how many pictures it will display on one screen? All of my other screens work, besides my Home screen. I keep getting "Picture not available."
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jwilliamf:
anybody know where can I get the space looking wallpaper on the TF?

I think it is a stock wallpaper, but can't find it. I have search every folder using root explorer but no luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] skydirt:
Using the new ADW fixed for 3.2, I can;t for the life of me figure hour hour you removed the top menu bar. I;m able to remove all the buttons on the top right, but I can not remove the app drawer button on the top left like I see you have in your pics and video.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
I don't believe so. I had like 20 wallpapers for each hub on my nook color running perfectly once
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Launcher pro. I had this running on an older version of adw launcher ex before 3.2 made it worthless
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] D4rkShaDoWz:
Hey man, what is the name of the widget you used to create the "videos" "home" and "books" text on your screens? Great design btw, going to try to do this soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
minimalistic text
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Phuongld:
I'm flollowing your intrustion to creat a black bar. But when i overlapping other widget they display under the minimalistic text and get darker than normal. How do i bring them front of minimalistic text widget?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Sicraven6:
You have to make sure that all widgets you want to put in front of the black bar are on the screen before you add the black bar. Any widget you add on after the bar is on the screen will appear behind it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Sicraven6:
So one thing I noticed is that whenever I installed a new app from the market, the black bar would overshadow again. Its because the option to add a shortcut on install was still on. Once I turned it off in the "my apps" part of the market, the issue stopped. Just wanted to put that out there in case anyone was running into the same issue. I'm running adw ex btw.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] 1pudding1:
Do other people find that the screen scroll is noticeably slower when using multi live wallpaper with different pics for each screen? Its nice and silky smooth if i use the same picture for each screen, but when I add a different pic for each screen its pretty jerky when scrolling screens and changing the pic :( Im using Prime 1.7 with Clemsyn kernel @1.4 and latest ADWex. What settings do people have for this app?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Phuongld:
I have the same with you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] FloridaK:
1. Try holding your finger on the screen until you get the "Add to Home screen" pop up

2. Select Launcher Actions

3. Select Hide/Show ActionBar

I haven't been able to find any other way to do it. I moved the icon to the hidden dock as you'll find if you enter ADW settings the action bar will come back.

Hi, This isn't a real 'Loading' screen. It shows some text.

I resolved this one by creating a new widget with new settings...removed the one that was showing 'loading' (small bug or something)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Pimmr:
I don't get it. I have setup my tabs with MT widgets just like some of you guys, and checked all my wallpapers are now <1Mb size, but ADW keeps crashing and lagging. I don't see what I am doing wrong but I think I will try to go for the Simple text method, which seems a bit more light weight than this one...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
You might try resizing your wallpapers in Photoshop to a smaller size therefore reducing the size of the file. Also, it sounds like one of your widgets could be causing ADWLauncher EX to crash. Try taking off a widget one at a time until you find that ADWLauncher EX stops crashing on you and that is most likely the culprit.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Pimmr:
Thanks for your reply, appreciate it. But even smaller sizes? I resized all to 1200 px width.. If it is 1 widget, it could be a pain to find as I have about 70MT widgets. And I noticed that an adw backup of settings and desktop as well as a titanium backup does not get the widgets back, I thought as a last resort to reset adw, restore desktop and settings but now all 70 widgets say "problem loading widget" ... Thats not something I would want every time I flash a rom or something like that so I think I will go for the simple text method anyway, at least shortcuts are restored ok. And propbably a few blanc MT widgets on the side but those are not that much work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
I doubt that the MT widgets would be the cause of it crashing. Those widgets take up hardly any memory at all. It would most likely be another widget that is a memory hog of some kind. Like for example, some sort of flip card app or buggy apps like Wizz Widgets or something else.

Simple Text is a good choice. I use it for all my icons and just create blank semi-transparent bars to place over them. Of course you will be limited to a 1 x 1 square with Simple Text because they are icons, not widgets.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Artood2s:
Yes you can, but you have to create the shortcuts yourself. I'll try uploading my created shortcuts tonight. I have them for 5 screens.

Edit- As promised.

Screen 1

Screen 2

http://db.tt/KCiVIuGq

Screen 3

Screen 4

Screen 5

Hopefully this can be useful for some of you.

Edit 2-

For some reason, when clicking on the links, it doesn't download the lps files and instead shows the code. You will have to take that information, and create your own shortcut using Launcher Pro (Add Launcher Pro Shortcut, Create New, insert info in appropriate fields).

Can anyone help me with multilivewallpaper? No matter where I seem to put the folder for the wallpapers, the app says that "picture is unavailable" and " need to setup or reload" This is the only thing keeping me from fully enjoying this hubs concept
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] stesancri:
Does your layout look weird when you switch to portrat mode?

'cause I tried to do it on my tf and in landscape everything is ok but when I switch is a complete mess!!

I think is an ADW Launcher fault because he tries to fit the entire height of the screen destroying all the proportions.

Any suggestion?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sg2point0:
When you are selecting the picture source, select folder, and be sure to uncheck 'search from gallery'. At least that is what fixed it for me.
