Hey what I did was make one folder (on the root of my sd) with the walls I wanted to use then set that as the only folder for picture source, then I went back to the main settings page and set individual settings for each wall I wanted to use then set each one to single picture and navigated to the pic using root explorer and set it that way which works perfectly for me.

oh and awesome tutorial fliparsenal finally got my screens exactly how I want them ;-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
no problem guys. just post yours!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] philski421:
this is impossible to figure out, you offer tutorials that either redirect you to this same page or to some youtube video demonstrating something i have no ****ing clue how to do.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dirtydozen:
What part of setting it up are you having trouble with?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Good job on reading comprehension.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gerbick:
So far, no problem for me. But I have to ask if anybody's seen an alternate calendar widget that looks as good instead of the ones for ADW. Still not sold on ADW Launcher EX quite yet.

The Black Bar tutorial was a bit convoluted, but once it's done, you'll look back and say that you should have known all along how to do that.

My Xoom looks great. Had a few iPad owners looking on in envy.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hipocrazy:
You could just ask for more detailed instructions on the 'Impossible' instead of being bothered. It's really not that hard to figure out even without the OP's initial instructions.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0WhIOgRHpA&feature=player_detailpage

I used your hub idea and made the left tabs for hubs overlay an ADW Custom shortcut to change screens. Took me a long time to get this far.

Completed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEOxLWWT9Uk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Wow that looks great. I'll details add on the next update
[Xoom Themes and Apps] adamj123:
Awesome idea, really like how you setup the left tabs! Are you able to provide a little explanation as to how I can go about doing something similar?

I have ADW Launcher EX and minimalistic text but can't figure out how integrate the custom shortcuts with minimalistic text...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
When it asks you to select a picture, for the custom shortcut, it has to be clear. So the widget is invisible. Then move it into position. Then edit the minimalist widget OVER the custom shortcut. If the minimalist widget is activating and not the custom shortcut rotate screen to portrait then back to landscape and now the shortcut should activate and not the minimalist.

Here is the picture I use to create an invisible custom shortcut.

http://db.tt/386q5HL did this work?

The way tto create a custom shortcut is to long press on screen, select Custom shortcut. Pick your Activity, Launcher actions. Now you need to creat a bunch of these. One with Screen 2, another for 3, 4, etc. If you use the pic I linked it will be created but invisible. You may have to hunt for it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] adamj123:
Thanks for that, i will give it a shot and let you know how it goes!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] SuicideMyk:
had this page book marked, I been meaning to try hubs out... it looks awsome :cool:
[Xoom Themes and Apps] SuicideMyk:
cant get the statusbar to hide in adw for some reason ?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
You mean the top bar?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] SuicideMyk:
that's what I meant lol...

I figured it out after a few min, I'm actually liking adw over lp the more I play around with it :cool:
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ni5mo:
Hi guys, I've tried so many options in trying to setup the multi live wallpaper in adw but to no avail. Somewhat when i try setting it up on lp and touch wiz it works just fine, but in adw i seem to only have 1 photo for every background. Ive tried making seperate folders and also tried choosing 1 picture for each screen still nothing. I must be missing something. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Fixed - Had to enable wallpaper scrolling.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rank78:
I want to attempt this but does anyone know how to create a LauncherPro shortcut that takes you to screen 2, 3, 4, etc?

Too bad the minimalist tabs can't be programmed to take you to a screen rather than overlap shortcuts.

Also, with this setup is screen scrolling disabled? It looks like you're static but I assume you're just not swiping left/right.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I have LP on my phone and don't see an easy way to create a custom shortcut, or to switch screens like ADW.

And yes you can still swype screens left and right. It looks strange though because of the large black bar on left. I prefer the tabs now because its quicker.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
With or without HD widgets?

​

I found a better alternative to Minimalistic Text and its Simple Text. Will post tutorial tommorow, and those eager should download it and try.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] chattab0x:
trying to do this

edit: figured it out ..

thanks for this thread, love the idea
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Thanks for simple text! Took me awhile to figure it out but I finally got it. I can definitely use it in place of minimalist for alot of widgets.

Is there a way to make a simple text widget larger than 1x1? When I edit it only takes me to the activity or picture page.

And keep the Hd. Looks good.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] chattab0x:
I'm having a problem aligning the black bars when using them on the edge of my screen. I'm putting 5 bars down the left side of my screen but have small gaps in between, its not as seamless as these screenshots. My settings are 8 columns and 6 rows.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Go to 10x10, or make sure Auto stretch widgets is selected in ADW settings under advanced.

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

Here's a screen with the simple text widget. Its great for 1x1 but I can't make it larger than that. That makes it rather limiting.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] chattab0x:
very helpful, thank you very much
[Xoom Themes and Apps] demian56k:
could you tell me about your all used icon, picture and etc..

and i want to create shortcut activity to page 1, 2, 3 ..

i used simple text, launcherpro, but i can't follow your home effect.

so plz tell me about your full progress.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I don't think Launcher Pro has an option to create a custom shortcut. I have looked but do not see the option, and no option to switch to screen 1,2,3 etc
[Xoom Themes and Apps] demian56k:
thank you for reply

thank you, but one more question. what's your home launcher? adw-ex?

LP can't to resize widget by left side. so i can't follow your screen.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hchxoom:
Did you (or anyone else) figure out how to stretch this to greater than 1x1?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Yup, ADW Ex.

Nope. 99% sure its not possible.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] xyrcncp:
I have the same issue as chattab0x, I have it set to 10x10, auto stretch widgets selected, but any widgets don't get to the edge. Maybe I'm having a major brain fart...lol
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
My original screen shot was actually Launcher Pro but I've since moved on to ADW once it was mad honeycomb compatible.

Edit: Yes, it's LPP. If you take a look at my first screen shot it hovers above the navigation bar

BTW Updated with navigational instructions!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Only other thing I can think of is make sure allow widgets to overlap is checked. I'm pretty sure you already have it checked if you are overlaying a minimalist text widget for shading.

If you are using simple text and are shading with the "shape" feature it will not work. The shading won't fille the edges of the icon. You must use minimalist for the shaded bar that is edited and moved over the widget.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
When you mentioned Simple Text, I stumbled across two Simple Text widget apps. The Simple Text-Text Icon Creator and Simple Text Widget. The simple text widget is pretty useless. It does have one quality. If you use the _ character and create a _______ solid line. I know its just a line, but used overlapped it can add seperation. Unfortunately it cannot be used on the active widgets that control the screens. When creating the line, create on a different screen than the screen you want to use the widget on. Once created drag it to the desired screen, then overlay it. Otherwise line is behind and shaded.

And I wanted to use picsaypro.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
HaHa! Put that app to good use. As for simple text it's the icon creator, linked in the first post
[Xoom Themes and Apps] demian56k:
thank you for your answer

thank you for your answer

i have finished. Tahnk you!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] demian56k:
thank you so much.

i got it, i got it. so i have done.

Thank you so much!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jloya:
where do you find "enable wallpaper scrolling"? im pretty sure ive looked through every ADW setting and cant seem to find it...

...i know it must be me....

using adw ex

thanks for the help

EDIT: found it, yep my fault
[Xoom Themes and Apps] tofelofogus:
Here's my setup.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Legend28469:
Thumb Hub Pro

Sorry for such a big picture. Mad bandwidth I know.

But I call this Thumb Hub Pro

The basic idea is to have very simple homescreens

Where you don't need to move your hands away from where they are (Sorta like thumb keyboard)

That is just one example screen I sent

Edit: Better to view actual picture here so you can see the whole screen

[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Wow I'm really impressed. Simple often works better.great job and please post that wallpaper!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Legend28469:
I've got a bunch of those here's a zip of around 20

http://db.tt/cKomguG1

Btw I find apps much more efficiently using hubs than I do in my app drawer.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
new walls! thanks a lot..there's goes my weekend customizing! lol
[Xoom Themes and Apps] g00fy1:
This is friggin awesome but for the life of me I can't figure our how to do it.

My weekend has just been booked. :D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] tofelofogus:
Can someone share the apk of simple text as I can't get it off the market? Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Legend28469:
Message me and I'll write u a very detailed tutorial

Lol I have more I'm working on... super unique will post when done
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kenfly:
I wish there was an Update.zip to get all of this on my xoom the right way. I'm having such a hard time getting everything working together. I have everything i need.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mightydr:
^This. If anyone can come up with a single installable/flashable file that gets a "hub" in place (so perhaps background images can be swapped out), that would be great.

I'm seriously interested in donating :cool: to anyone who can do so.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DefaultBR:
lol, good,

but some guys have widgets that i DONT KNOW, the agenda/calendar 2 pages before

some icons.... lol

o0 its so perfect, how the hell they find this things ;|!

in google market, if i type AGENDA WIDGET, only return ugly agendas/calendars!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bilago:
I love how HUBS looks but it makes my xoom lag terribly. I have my xoom Overclocked at 1.6ghz. Once I turned off background scrolling in ADW its fine again.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I've never seen a script in a flashable zip that can place widgets. Would love to see the geniousbehind that creation. Its really not that difficult. I am confident you are smarter than the machine, time and patience isn't flashable.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rayhodge02:
Heres a quick video of my most recent hub layout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfAigus6Ino

Wow really nice. I can't install Mizuu Movies though. Market says that it's not compatible with my Xoom
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mrmad23:
Could you post an alternative link? The one above seems to be broken...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Psyclic_1:
I had the same issue.

I emailed the author and he said that the new version will have a paid and free version (free will be ad supported).

Hopefully we will be able to get the free version at least, looks like a great app
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Guys this shouldn't lag you device at all. Usually its a widget that conflicts with the launcher like a user reported wizz widget does. Additionally overtly large wallpaper will put it to a crawl.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ApocalypseX:
can someone please give me a "noob" guide/tutorial .... maybe video please?

step by step .. i downloaded the stuff in the first post but then i got lost.. -__-

sorry to bother you guys, im really willing to donae to whoever makes that video tutorial.

thanks in advance and you guys rock.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I made this video, but it doesn't show you how to create a minimalist text or simple text. Those I already had created and saved, and in the video I restore them. Sorry for the poor quality video and my voice is a bit low. If you need more help, specifically tell us what you can't do.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDnVNlOO6TA
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ApocalypseX:
thanks bro, i'll try it as soon as I get home and let you know how it went, thanks again :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ApocalypseX:
sorry guys i still nhave one small problem , I can't use my full screen, I always have a margin that icons jump out of when I place icons on the very right og very left of the screen, same for widgets etc.. I can't use the columns on the far right and far left, I changed number of rows and columns to 10 X 10 .. any help would be appreciated :-)

EDIT: I found the problem, you just have to disable the main dock .. I feel stupid now but I finally am making progress :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cjuknow1:
Hi im a bit a newbie :-) i just bought a rooted xoom and i was wondering if you had a more comprehensive tutorial for you hub, i have no idea what im doing here , any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Here's my layout. I use it more this way.

Here are my layouts
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ifiuse:
I wish i have a nandroid for restore this:
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DefaultBR:
can you send me it too :S?

the same tutorial ;s
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Here are mine...took hours but I love hubs now!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Sardo Numspa:
my hubs layout. finally got it the way i want it (for now at least).

i made the home screen and internet screen wallpapers, the rest i found online although i did modify some just for color purposes. tried to keep it real materialistic. the icons along the bottom bring you to the corresponding screen. the icons along the right of the screen open up a folder (or app) filled with corresponding apps. i tried to add a few widgets but found that they just took away from the minimalism and i like using full screen apps anyway.

it would be nice if someone could write a video capture app so i could do a video of it instead of trying to hold my flip camera and get through the various pages.

lock screen

screen 1 - Home. i wish i could find a way to put the adw launcher shortcuts on wizz bar, then i could get rid of the icons on the right all together. but i have them there so i can access the action bar and adw settings without having to pull up the app drawer. i also have a shortcut for the downloads folder, since i find i go there a lot.

screen 2 - internet apps

screen 3 - multimedia. i do use the music widget here.

screen 4 - social media

screen 5 - games

and screen 6 - tools
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dadavises:
Nice Work. It does take alot of time, but the final outcome is worth it in my opinion
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
My first hub took ages. Second one was a little faster, but still took a while.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Yeah definitely worth the trouble. I have blown a few of my friends minds already
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flippingout:
What size wallpaper do you recommend? I have a bunch of large wallpapers and want to make sure I resize them correctly.

Hopefully my Xoom will be back from Moto tomorrow so I can start this process!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
yeah wizz app sucks, really not worth getting now that only a few of their widgets work (barely)

I also have the same question about wallpaper...I used the size fit to screen in the wallpaper app but am finding they are often zoomed in too far...any ideas?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Anyone? Please?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flippingout:
Got a problem I can't seem to solve. I can't get the ADW settings bar to stay permanently off the screen. I had to place a shortcut on the screen (launcher -> action) to remove it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Sardo Numspa:
if you are using the wallpaper for each screen, i use 1280 x 800.

if you are using the wallpaper for all the screens in the stock launcher, i use 1920 x 1480
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Is there a way to make that change or I can only pix wallpaper that size
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mscott998:
Has anyone thought about taking the base line of ADW launcher and building a Hubs Launcher for Honeycomb? just an idea .. but something that im sure the community would love. If i knew enough about programming on Android id attempt it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
I'm slow. I can't , for the life of me, figure out how to make MultiPicture live wallpaper.

I'm on a Xoom and I placed 5 folders on my internal Xoom memory. Each folder is named respectively (musik, moviez, films, etc) . I then point Multipicture to each folder according to the 1st post and it doesn't work. I'm currently using ADW.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
I sent you a pm before I read this.if the screen are set up butyou can't get the picture link make sure you use the external card and choose album...I couldn't use the folder setup either
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
I followed your instructions for setting MultiPicture Live wallpaper and it doesn't work. I placed the folders on mnt /external1 and when I go to set it I get a black background. I've been struggling with this for weeks.

Also what format do the walls have to be in? PNG or JPG?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Either file works, are you choosing"folder" or "album"when you try to link to the folder with your wallpaper? I needed to do album...the folder choice never worked for me either and I struggled with getting it to refresh when I added new folders...sorry if that doesn't help...it is a quirky app I think...maybe set your folders of wallpapers up on external 1 then uninstall the wallpapers multiple wallpaper app, reinstall, then give it another go
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
I will try that.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flippingout:
Also, don't forget to enable wallpaper scrolling (or disable, I can't remember) in ADW. That was my problem initially and now it works perfectly.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
So I take it I have to put it to the opposite to what it's set to now.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
How did you name your pictures and folders on your storage?

I either get all the pictures to works randomly on every screen or 1 picture for every screen!

I tried wallaper > live wallpaper > multiwallpaper > settings > common settings > picture source.

If i select 'album' i get random pictures for every page

I i select 'picture folder' i only get 1 picture for every page :mad:

Also how do i set a different picture for my lockscreen?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
Used a different approach for links.

Created image in photoshop, then used desktop visualizer for links and ADW launcher actions for page hopping
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
My issues are solved thanks to Rockhumper. I had to enable wallpaper scrolling in ADW for the images to set.

I owe you a rock dude.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Haha nice man, glad you got it working
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
I have some unobtainium for you to hump.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hotdiamonds:
Some good ideas on here guys, i'll have update my own wallpaper as it's looking a bit basic compared to some of this stuff.....
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcnob:
Really liking this concept but my main problem as a regular ROM switcher is the fact that, although you can save your screen and home settings with ADW EX, there's no way that I know of to automatically restore the widget settings. It's a pain in the butt.

Does anyone know of a way to restore widgets with their settings when restoring home settings or is it even possible to create such an app?

Wish I had the knowledge to do it myself.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] joshndroid:
Mate titanium backup saves app data for adw ex.. I can restore and get all my desktop settings bacj immediately =]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Trig0r:
Cool, might have a play with this tomorrow..
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Trig0r:
Ok cool, starting to mess with this now, I have all of the main apps you list exept ADWLauncher, what does this do that Launcher Pro, or the free ADWLauncher dont?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcnob:
I hear what yer saying but if you have a lot of widgets, you have to delete the placeholders one by one and re set every single one. At least I do on my phone. Is it different with honeycomb?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] joshndroid:
U can restore widgets with titanium backup as they are never affected by an update so u can restore them then i restart my phone and they are all as normal =]

Sent from my mind control device
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Trig0r:
Right, so far today I've lost about 5 hours to this and bought my first app, adw.launcher

I get the feeling that its going to be a long night and that I'm not going to get much done tomorrow...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] joshndroid:
yeh it does take a couple hours...

i havnt made any personalized backgrounds yet.. just using the nexus live wallpaper hahah
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Trig0r:
A couple of hours, ha I wish it was "only" a couple..

Gonna be tweaking for a while yet me thinks, mind you it might help if I RTFM instead of poking thru the settings and just clicking stuff :F
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Trig0r:
Ok, am I missing something or is there no proper "read me" for ADWLauncherEX..

All I want to do is move the bottom dock bar from the bottom to the right side of the screen same as Launcher Pro.

Also I dont seem to be able to put widgets close to the top of the screen even though I have removed the "trash" icon and the "action bar"..

I'm guessing I bought the wrong Launcher lol
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
Just thought I would throw in another method instead of Simple/Minimalistic Text -- Use the app Folder Organizer which creates a widget on the screen that is resizable and within the widget you can customize the size of the layout and then drop icons within the widget and assign each icon a custom action.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] h1br1d7heory:
Almost there...

Alright so I think I'm close. I know how to get Multipicture wallpaper working (i think) and I know how the settings on Minimalistic and Simple text work.

What I cant figure out is this whole "Black Bar" deal.

I'm assuming that each page is basically a separate entity from one another and needs to be set up separately. Am I right?

If someone can PM me a detailed tutorial mostly on setting up the black bar in conjunction with the Minimalistic/Simple Txt...and maybe when to use each or if you use them together? (pretty sure i want it vertical...not sure on the right or left yet) I would greatly appreciate it.

I like how some of you put the links to the pages on the right and then the clock/calendar above or below it...think i want to do something similar...

Thank you in advance for any help!! :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Trig0r:
Can I also throw in two apps that people might want to look at for hub type stuff..

Circle Launcher Light and Circle Battery Widget..
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hotdiamonds:
