lol yeah thanks..

I tihnk I prefer LP's launch bar on the right but it doesnt (or I cant find which is possible) a way to over lap widgets, looking at the "shoe" screeny at the top of this thread it looks like he's using LP but has overlap enabled somehow.

I want a bar down the left with the time (BobClock3d) weather (Palmary Weather) and then pop out push sections that take you to the other screens all with disabled scrolling..

Sounds simple enough lol..
[Xoom Themes and Apps] aplacetorest:
this is a great tutorial but im not sure what im missing. I cant stretch icons to the edge of the screen. It seems that theres still a few 1x1 spaces that cant allow me to put my icons and widgets right at the edge like displayed here. Someone please help!

Hy all,

have anyone a detailed HowTo for a newbie?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Photaz:
This is what I have so far. Though you probably would need to enjoy the anime to like it. I still need to edit the wallpapers and change the text once I figure out to what ;/. I also need to add content to the home screen and media. Once you are on the screen the corresponding button will launch something. I.E. Internet - Browser, Home - App Drawer, Media - Media Player, Tools - ADW show/hide actionbar.

Cannot position widgets or shortcuts along border of screen

Hello all. I'm having an issue with stretching the widgets/placing the shortcut anywhere near the border of the screen. I'm left with a noticeable. I've skimmed this entire thread, and noticed that a couple other people have come across this issue. I have overlapping widgets checked off, and I've tried every possible combination for the amount of rows/columns. Is there something that I'm missing? Although I'm sure it's obvious, I'm using ADW EX. Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Turn overlapping Widgets on and also go to UI settings...screen settings then advanced settings....check "auto stretch"
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Post #130. Five before yours.

Did that work? And you want overlapping widgets checked.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] twLoaf:
Here's mine

Looking for some useful clean widgets to spruce things up a bit, but here's what I have so far:

I'm using ADW Launcher, Minimalistic Text, Simple Text, Smooth Calendar, BobClockD3, and personal photos.

Thanks for the ideas and instructions!

Adw update broke the hell out of the hubs setup. Any good alternatives to adw t achieve hubs layout
[Xoom Themes and Apps] razorseal:
cool, I'll get on this, but gonna be when I have some time. looks like it'll take some time to setup
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
yeah totaly borked it. im pretty pissed. try launcher pro as alternative.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mscott998:
Launcher pro is ok, but it doesn't have the option to make icons to go to a specific page. i had my hubs with the bars that would send you directly to that hub page... ADW went from the best launcher to the worst.. its sad really
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Yeah dude adw update is a damn downgrade and ruined the amount of screen real estate...it is like using stock launcher now only with an annoying giant dock bar that I hate...when I was a noob I wanted that dockbar..because it never stuck on my tablet after a reboot....now though it is an annoying hindrance.

I am so angry at adw...I loved adw but now they are not my favorite. Go launcher is far better on my phone, uses any icon packs(even adw's), and is constantly being refined by their developers...for my tablet add is the only one I can use without having a *phonish* looking style, but now the update ruined it...they will be getting tablet owner hate mail I bet and I hope we see a better update soon

yeah they messed everything up really bad
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ecsnead69:
Guys, can't you just go in and uninstall updates of ADW and get it back to how it was before the update? Then use TiBu to detach it from the market... no more updates!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flippingout:
Genius. Restored my backup and my hubs are back to the way they should be!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dasani:
Just applied new update today for adw and it gave me my realestate back, now I have to restore or make new ones :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
How do I use titanium to detach from the market?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] carfreak715:
im kind of a noob when it comes to TiBu, do you think anyone can put up the downgraded apk to sideload? im completely devastated that the hubs setup is ruined.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ecsnead69:
open up the backup/restore tab in TiBu and scroll to ADW.. then long press and it will give you a menu... select "detach from market"

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Dyelon:
I JUST got my Xoom and I want to set up this hub for it....obviously though if I get adw its going to be the new version....any tips for me?

Also are there any other complications to getting onto this bandwagon so late?

Basically what I'm saying is I want to follow the walk through on the first page but I just need to know what alterations/different steps I have to take to get it going this late in time....

Thanks so much in advance!!!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] technomaje:
I second that. Some of what's posted doesn't quite work. Like overlaying icons. I started to do it, but backed out for now. I'm testing ICS on my Xoom, and Moto will undoubtedly release the official version soon. So I'll lose my changes. Think I'll wait until ICS.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cward0625:
Is there any way to backup the setup you do, so that if you update to a new rom or anything you do not lose all your work? I did one page, and it took quite a while, debating doing the other homescreens since I know I will update it again when there is a new update?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
There's been talks about using titanium backup. Back up adwex through TB and within adwex ex itself. After flashing a new rom or updating make sure you have the Widgets installed before restoring the layout. Good luck.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mjamocha:
Maybe someone with the know how should just create Flash'able Hubs theme that allows us to use our own Pics based on your awesome work - That would be Epic. Kudos that looks nice.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
u can't....it isn't a "theme" like other flashable themes are....it's personalized widgets and live multi-wallpapers (run by an app - for which you also have to download all your own seperate wallpapers which can be 5 to hundreds depending on whether you will let your screens rotate through new papers every hour [or whatever time frame setting you want]). It is also run using ADW (a custom home launcher which has changed in their latest updates to the point where it ruined a lot of the nicer "hubs" features you could make, like the minimal text widgets would reach the end of the screen)...so you cannot just "flash a hub's theme"....Theme flashing is when you cook your own rom features and change things like font, notification bar, icons, animations, etc.

Theme flashing doesn't do anything to download the apps and personalize the widgets that you can make with Hub's....It is all very personalized and app/widget specific. Creating flashable themes is not as easy as people just think it is...in theory, you could make a hub's flash, but it would basically be a custom, but very incomplete, ROM that would be so useless it would not make sense...you would still need to add all the personal touches of choosing your own wallpaper, making your own icons, making your own widgets, setting your own animations....There is just too much of a personal touch that goes into these set-ups that unfortunately you just need to put the work in and make it using the directions.

Just does not make any sense to make a custom rom to flash out of it....I hope that did not sound mean or anything, im not attacking you, but I always hear people asking for "flashes" for everything including the kitchen sink...and sometimes it just is not as easy as people think. The beauty of Hubs is that no 2 are really the same ;-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Zues532:
Is anyone else having trouble with setting up black bars with Minimalistic Text? When I make the long bar for the "hub" title and place single icon Minimalistic text icons underneath they work sporadically for a while and then stop working. I have the top "layer" (the black bar/title) set to have no action when I clock on it, and I have overlapping widgets checked in ADW settings.

It seems that rotating the device resets the icons on the black bar, but I can't get all 5 screens working at the same time.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Ever tried switching to simple text?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Delosari:
It seems a bit dead this thread, which is a bit sad with all the great ideas they have brought but I shall give it a go:

I have just updated my asus transformer to ICS via a revolution ROM and I having some isues to combine adw ex and multilive wallpaper...

Would you please tell me which version of adw ex you are using (one which allows the stretching of the minimalist bars to the edges and which has folders if possible)

Thanks a lot!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Dyelon:
Wow I just watched that video and again am mesmerized.....I never got a straight answer last time I asked...

Hello, just a quick question,

If someonw would like to return back to the original XOOM screen without hubs,

is it as simple as removing the installed apps and widgets?

Kind Regards

DK
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dkahs23:
If your using ADW EX you should be able to go to the ADW settings and choose reset ADW. Hope this helps.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dkaris:
Hey thanks for this....

So far I have the XOOM as it came out of the box in terms of launchers widgets etc...not much customization.

So based on your comment, if I would like to return back to stock I should uninstall ADW EX

Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dkahs23:
Yes if you uninstall ADW EX. It should revert back to the stock launcher.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dkaris:
Hello again,

Just one final question. In the first post it specifies as a per-requisite that we need

Adw Launcer EX

Launcher Pro Plus

Can I assume that we need only one of those two and not both of them?

Sorry if am asking for something already answered but I could not spot such a question.

Kind regards

[Xoom Themes and Apps] dkahs23:
No one or the other.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] eggz2004:
What about APEX Launcher?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dkahs23:
Never tried Apex Launcher. I would assume if it had basically the same functions as ADW EX, It might work. Give it a shot.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] The Apostle:
I cannot get minimalistic text to work with adw ex at all. It works fine on my phone with apex launcher running 4.0.2 but it will not work with adw and honeycomb 3.1. The issue is that when I create a minimalistic icon and select it, nothing shows up on the screen. I have tried uninstalling both adw and minimalistic and re-installing to no avail. I am on honeycomb 3.1 still for 2 reasons. I could not stand the giant mickey mouse appearance of 3.2 and I just was kind of waiting for the "official ICS build for G Tab 10.1.

Any suggestions?

[HTC EVO 3D] blu3poptart:
I don't think this would really help but what about putting it in airplane mode? Or maybe changing some settings when you put ##3282# into the dial pad. Not sure if it will work but it might be worth a shot.

Edit: you can also try deleting "EPST.apk" from the system folder using root explorer but it might break some things so maybe backup and try?

Glad to see you have your 3d man, looking forward to seeing some warm two point three!

I've had a look at your various posts and I would suggest gathering all the info in one single tutorial and include all the wallpapers you used?

Ill update it tonight or by tommorow once I get on a computer and provide a cleaner walkthrough.

This layout can be achieved by using with either adwor launcherpro. From this screenshot I'm actually using launcher pro which contains the Calender widget.the rar file I linked are just the wallpapers that people have requested

Excellent work, i like it very much. I have tried to make my own setup but when i use adw with multipic it does not show different pictures on different screens,they are all the same pic on every one, yet when i gave launcher pro a go it worked fine. Anyone have any idea why it will work on one and not the other? I really like adw on my tab it seems so smooth compared to anything else so would really love it to work with this. Any help or advise would be very much appreciated.

Question about scrolling

B"H

Quick questions - (noob)

Got a few MT Widgets setup.

1) How do I tell the widget upon press to move to another screen?

2) I'm using LauncherProPlus - how many columns / rows should I configure?

3) Once I associate the tap action with a MT widget, I cannot seem to ever get back to the configure screen again for that widget to change it?

Thank you,

-Dovid
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
1.) Not sure yet but its possible. I've seen users do it and instructions can be found on the Nook Color version of Hubs.

2.) 10x10

3.) Click on the MT on your app drawere.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jdwdickie:
Hey thanks for the instructions and how to set it up

much appericated really like it so far.

Couple questions, i havnt really looks that the vidoes for instuctions for setting it up because im in a 3rd world courtny and have crappy net

1- I am using the ADW Launcher ex which i like, do i need to keep the launder Pro Plus or is there some usefull widigets that come with it.

2- Tried to dl your wallpapers, I take it i have to create a free account on the meaga upload server since it wouldnt dl? since i had to use hidemyass to even go there because normally it doesnt support where i am at.

3- I have set up my tabs yet but when u click on those tabs ect music movies , will it take you to that screen? and minimalistic app is what sets that up ?

thanks again for you work

liking my tab more and more eveyday

jay
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
1. Launcher Pro Plus contains the widget, while ADW launcher offers more customization. It's all personal choice.

2.There's no need to to create an account, however your location may prevent you from downloading it. I'll try to create a mirror when I get the chance

3. Check the nook color version of hubs as they figured out a way. Sorry can't be more of help in that area.

[Acer Iconia A500] xamilek555:
When I saw it first time I didn't like it but when I made my own I love it.

I want to share my idea how to make titles made by using Minimalistic Text (like a "Games", "Home", "Music") clickable (when you click on "Games" title it will bring you to "Games" launcher page page).

My English isn't good so I'll try to explain everything with pictures.

Let's say you have homescreen like that :

and you want to add "Music" title wchich will bring you to "Music" Hub :

Now what you have to do:

1. Prepare minimalistic text widget :

-add Minimalistic Text widget with size you want

-no you should see options windows like this one :

Go to "Predefined Layout" and select "custom"

- now click "Custom layout" under "Predefined Layout" and you will see this:

delete these three grey boxes by dragging them down to trash

-click on the "plus" icon on the right side, you'll see this:

-select "additional" ("Dodatkowe" on my screen)and then drag "static text" up to this place where were those grey boxes before.

- You should have this now:

-Click on the grey box and you'll see edit options like this one :

I'll type "MUSIC" in "static text" and press back button or select style which you want

-enable option "no action on the touch"

- Now you can finish or digg in the settings. When you finish press back button to go back to the homescreen

Now the best part

put and hold your finger on free space on your homescreen

-select "launcher actions"

-scroll down the list until you see "screen 1/2/3/4/..."and select the one that suits to the number of homescreen with "MUSIC" Hub (I'll select "screen 4")(make them two if you are using 2x1 widget or other number depending on the size of the widget)

-You should have this now :

-long press on the "screen 4" icon and select "edit", you'll see this:

-Delete name of the icon, press on the picture of the icon, select "select picture" and then select "ADW dock catalog". Select anyone of docks and the icon will disappear.

-Click OK and make the same thing with other icons - they are now invisible.

- put them in the place where you want to have title of the hub

- put MT (minimalistic text) widget under/above/next to arranged icons

- long press on MT widget and select "edit". You should hae this now:

- resize the widget to cover invisible icons like this :

- resize it again to fill it correctly like this:

- press "back" button - you have now clickable title for Hub

Sorry for my terrific English - I hope you understand what I wrote :)
