I suspect those who are using Apex are using the "hard code" method. Where the background image has the text [HOME] [GAMES] [MUSIC] etc... added to the actual background image wallpapers themselves. Then the user is adding an Apex launcher action shortcut (i.e. go to screen 3) and changing the icon to be blank, then placing this new shortcut icon over the text in the background image for the respective actions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] namebrandon:
Yes, exactly. "hard-coded" hubs with Apex don't need widgets for the hub functionality or design elements. Much better battery life, but as was mentioned, you're locked into landscape layout, unless you specifically create a portrait mode layout.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fyreprone:
Speaking of which, I don't suppose anyone can share the layer they've setup in photoshop for hardcoding some HUBs? :D

Are you kidding, or did you miss my post a few days ago? ;)

Add it to your sig or something, otherwise it will get lost in a page of posts and a lot of people won't actually read through threads.

For some reason I'm not able to use a folder with wallpapers for each homescreen.

Using ADWlauncher +multi picture live wallpaper.

I followed the instructions with the picture source en set the path but it doen't show the pictures in that particular folder.

Any help?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratchoke99:
Anyone using the hard-code hubs layout w/ Apex Launcher experience the launcher freezing?

For some reason I've been experiencing this every since I switched from ADW EX to Apex w/ the hardcodes.

Kindn of odd, I figured ADW EX would be using more resources than Apex?

Make sure you have settings for EACH page, you have to press that PLUS symbol to add them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] namebrandon:
No freezing here, and the widgets + ADW EX would use more resources.

I imagine it's an app / service running in memory that's causing your freezing, and not Apex.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratchoke99:
I guess process of elimination will have to do lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattijs86:
Thanks for replying. I did exactly what is being told in the first post and YouTube video. Could it be the location of the pictures? SD/wallpapers/...

SSLauncher

I built my hubs using SSLauncher and Multi-live wallpaper. But I do find multi-live wallpaper to be sluggish at times on my Prime. Like when going back to home screen, it turns black for awhile before it loads the picture. SSLauncher is not compatible (according to Play Store) with my Prime, so I downloaded it on my G-note, then saved the .apk file and emailed it to the prime and installed it. Works fine. The nice thing about SSLauncher is you can have layers and it's so easy to make the text (and unlimited number of pages) without special apps like Simple Text.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratchoke99:
Are you sure you're selecting picture source and than picture folder?

how do you make the apex icons invisible???

I have Built my HUBs with ADW launcher while running ICS .28 stock. Will I be able to restore my HUB layout when I go to JB with ADW restore function? I have also got Titanium Backup of ADW and I just hate to lose all the work I put in on getting my HUBs especially the Custom Widgets.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] christarius:
I'm not sure if ADW still works in 4.1, I've not used ADW in ages as the dev gave up on the app and never fixed an issue I was having. I'm using Nova launcher on my Prime now and it has just about the same (maybe even more) functionality as ADW. It also supports importing settings from other launchers, so maybe you can test and see if Nova Launcher is able to restore your ADW hubs layout.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vlad48:
Well just for the record, JB 4.1 stock is running just fine with ADW Launcher EX and hubs layout foe me, of course ADW is not familiar with some new JB features...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
Did you just build the HUB layout on JB or did you have layout prior on ICS and it transferred/restored to JB?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vlad48:
Well HUB layout was kept while "officialy" upgrading from ICS to JB. Tried of course several launchers including stock when start using JB to see if they perform better than ADW EX(Apex, Holo, Go and Nova).

Still using ADW.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vvveith:
Just for the record my azz!

ADW Launcher EX does not work with Jellybean on the Transformer Prime. Just re-size some widgets to be huge and turn on random transitions for screen scrolling and the widgets will change size on their own and/or get stuck in a partial transition. Had to remove all Launchers to restore my Prime to usable form. Really liked what I see here and it's almost enough to make me go back to ICS, but what's the point, I hardly use the thing anyways, my only use nowadays is browsing the web, and occasional game and reading.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] christarius:
Hubs v2.0 for me

After the JB update I decided to resurrect the hubs idea on my Prime as I'd been running a pretty boring UI on the stock launcher until then. Now I hit some snags while making the UI, Nova Launcher didn't play nice with all the background widgets I was using and started crashing A LOT when I hit 45 or so. In the end I dumped the background widgets and just created overlays for the wallpapers I'm using in Photoshop. Added bonus for going this route is the launcher using significantly less memory, which makes the UI extra snappy.

Used apps:

Nova launcher Prime

Simple Text (icons)

UCCW (weather widget)

Mizuu (movie widget)

Multi Live Wallpapers

Used wallpapers:

Google search

Deviant Art

http://www.rauzier-hyperphoto.com/

Anyway, here's what I came up with (from left to right):

And here's a panorama shot of the entire lay-out:

After upgrade my hubs are all messed up....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] charlesthedestroyer:
is multipic laggy for anyone else?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] christarius:
It's all smooth on my Prime, which launcher are you using? And do you have enough free memory?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] charlesthedestroyer:
I was on using adw ex running on HB 1.3. As for free memory i am not too sure. I recently switched to craigs cynagenmod 10 rom, Ill try it there and see if that helps
[General Questions and Answers] atvking:
So here's my situation. I have recently (two days ago) decided to root my GS2 and try installing new roms. Everything was fine until I installed my first rom

(GT-I9100_Bezke_UltraIcs_2.2_XXLPB)

After the installation I cannot manage to get my data network working again. I have set my APN settings to exactly what they were before, and tried both the KI4, and KG2 modems. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong, or what else has to be done to get my data working, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Stock settings -

Carrier - Virgin Mobile (bell)

PDA - I9100MUGKG2

Phone - I9100XXKG2

CSC - I9100MBMCKG2

Kernel - 2.6.35.7-19100MUGKG2

CSC - ??

Kernel - 3.015-I9100XXLPB-CL99600 se.infra@SEI-44 #3

Build Number - Bezke UltraIcs 2.2 XXLPB

The model number is GT-I9100, instead of GT-I9100M... I dont know if that means anything

APN settings -

name - Browser

APN - pda.bell.ca

proxy - web.wireless.bell.ca

mms proxy - web.wireless.bell.ca

mms port - 80

mcc - 302

mnc - 610

authent type - none

APN type - internet + mms

The new ROM also has APN protocol, and Bearer options, and I don't know what to put in them, or if the have any effect.

I have also noticed, when I restore to my backed up rom using CWM, I get this message in kies:

Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies

Current firmware vesion: I9100MUGKG2/ I9100MBMCKG2/ I9100XXK14/ I9100MUGKG2 (XEH)

But I think that would be because its not the original kernel, no?

(which I can't find a working download link for anywhere btw!)

I dont know how to get the PDA, and CSC numbers from the new rom (or what they even mean for that matter), but can anyone tell me why my data might not be working?

I'm a bit of a noob (sorry about that), but I like this rom, and have tried to the best of my abilities to find an answer, but no luck :(. So if it's not possible to get this to work for me, is there any other similar ones that may work?

Please, any information you can give me would help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosit1:
Anyone else that uses MHL notice battery drain while using their device. I'm currently using the accell adaptor. It's not super bad, but still noticeable where it's a bit higher. The best thing I could do was undervolt hardcore inn the cpu cycles I was using.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] linh1987:
Be sure to use the included charger (which is 750mAh, instead of normal 500mAh one) or you can just opt for an iPad charger to be sure you have enough current with MHL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosit1:
I have the standard one, still drains. Got an iPad charger for 2A, and it was unfortunately recognized as USB, so charging was at a reduced rate.
[TouchPad General] cvcduty:
So here is a question...

I have been updating roms on my devices (TP, Samsung Galaxy S devices, etc)for the last year or so.

My question is why do some of my devices (TP to be exact) take advantage of the Google Backup/Restore feature where as my other devices (Galaxy S - Captivate & Galaxy S Wifi 5.0) do not. I mean, I check the boxes during initial setup to allow Google to backup/restore my settings but why do some work and some don't?

When I flash new roms on my TP (CM9) I notice that as soon as I setup my Google account, it starts downloading all my apps that are associated with my tablet. Not 100% but close enough where I have to hunt for only a handful manually. Of course all the sideloaded apps and Amazon App store apps don't load automatically but that's ok. I would then use TIBU to restore data on some of these apps to get the TP back to operational state.

Now, on the other hand, my Captivate (ICS 4.0.3 - ICSSGS RC4.2) and my Galaxy S WiFi 5.0s (GB - Stock rooted and GB - 2.3.6 Custom) do not start the auto restore after the account setup.

Why is this different between devices? Is it rom dependant?

Anyone know?
[TouchPad General] iahk:
I noticed this too on my EVO when I used specific roms. For one of my roms, the developer eventually fixed the issue a few releases down the road. That's all I know of that though. :(
[TouchPad General] JohnnyEpic:
Generally, most rom developers prefer you to use something other than Googs backup. Titanium is a good example. Works well w/ backups, and restore. Alot of apps that are generally for rooting are not in market. Just my opinion...
[TouchPad General] cvcduty:
I get that... that was my understanding and my experience so far... I just always wondered about the purpose of the Google Backup/Restore during initial setup since it never did anything... until the last few rom updates on my TP. The first time I noticed was with XRON GB rom... it was downloading apps (not all) even though I had deleted them all... odd I thought... and then I saw it with CM9 A.5 and A.6... and now with A2... and I am starting to like it... I use my tablet with apps loaded. I don't keep it for just testing...

I do use TIBU but I find it more assuring to install apps fresh from the Market after each update. This consumes a lot of time.

With the latest release, I was able to get my setup with all the apps, desktop configuration, widgets, etc... in 30 mins... fresh to operational in 30 mins instead of 3-4 hours that used to take for me to recreate my settings... I am a bit anal about how things need to look so I would take the time... now it seems I don't have to as much.
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
I always do a cwm backup before flashing a new rom. After flashing, I do a restore data. This gets all my apps back. It's worked fine so far.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tedya:
So in the last few weeks, my standby time has gone down a great deal. I have power efficiency and power saver turned on. All of my accounts are on manual sync and I don't sync them because I am trying to get an idea of what is sucking away my power. My screen brightness is set to 20% and I hardly use my phone for calls during the day as I use my desk phone for that. Wifi and bluetooth are disabled. I really have a love/hate relationship with this phone.

Anyone have any ideas?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I'm actually on the same boat. Just this morning I unplugged it...battery said 100% then 4.5hrs later its down to 17%. The phone was running pretty hot too...I even mentioned it too my wife and she said it was pretty hot. Not doing too much with it while it happened. Just woke up ...poked around on xda and fb. Then took my lil one to the bus stop while taking the dog for a walk..come 11oclock my phone was at 17%....I'm gonna wipe and start all over..hopefully it gets whatever is causing the issues. I usually get a good 10-16 hrs depending on use.

[HTC Amaze 4G] droidemere:
Have you tried using a different battery? I bought an anker battery online and it turned out to be better than the stock battery. Maybe my stock one was faulty,can't really explain. But you should try it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
download badass battery from the market, it will tell you everything!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Richie1409:
Two days ago my amaze started doing what you describe,battery life from 100% to 10% in about 5 hrs MAX, also the phone was very hot, so I pull out the battery but with no results. I notice that 4g was always downloading data, I verified the running services on the phone and discover the calendar apk was rebooting like crazy...the real problem was peep calendar sync was somehow stuck and after turning it to manual voilá! problem solved, temperature goes down, 4g stopped working and battery stopped draining. hope this help :D think you may found a solution verifying running services.

My amaze is 100% stock.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jubeh:
What helped my battery life was reducing sync frequency. Coming from a MT4G, I was used to updating work mail every 5 minutes. Changed all my sync timers to 1 hour and my battery life improved from 6 hours (including standby) to over 20 hours. I also disabled wifi increased performance (I had previously enabled it) and used medium brightness. A shame, that last one, because the screen is beautiful at full brightness.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
That's weird. I have everything synced and I still get about 6 hours a day of use. Of course not heavy use though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tedya:
OK, I installed badass battery. I also turned off the weather widget. I removed my phone from the charger at 730am this morning and at 330pm, my battery is at 95% according to badass battery. I also turned off the wallpaper I was using that was displaying 4 clocks in 4 diffent time zones. I wouldn't have thought that those 2 things would drain the battery like it was.

Like I said........Love/Hate relationship.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
I installed screen filter from the market last night and used it to turn off the backlight from the hardware buttons, and I also reduced the sync frequency like someone else said (and turned some useless ones off completely). I unplugged my phone at about 8:50 a.m. this morning. It is now 7:53 p.m., and my battery has only lost 22% of its charge (unheard of for me after 11 hours). Don't know which of those helped more, but my battery life is definitely a lot better.
[HTC Amaze 4G] unittdot:
Wow! I wish I had battery power like that. I was on NRG's ROM but found the battery to be draining pretty fast (~7 hours with moderate use). I installed fourth bar sense last night because of all the positive battery reviews I heard. Removed my charger at 700AM, it is now almost 830AM and I am at 88% with light use (drained too fast for 1.5 hours in minimal use IMO). I am trying to control the syncing and its auto-brightness
[HTC Amaze 4G] funkadesi:
Auto-brightness will never help you save battery. The best option IMO is 20 - 33% brightness

That's almost too hard to believe! You don't have Gmail?

Are you rooted and using a custom rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] thompsd:
Really depends on what's running, live wallpaper will definitely suck the life out of a battery but other apps do as well. I installed an auto loan program once and over the next couple of days my battery life seemed possessed, you could almost watch it drain, 60, 59, 58.... so I uninstalling things and when I got to that it went back to normal. Not sure what causes this, sloppy programming, nefarious evil things, who knows. I never have always connected anything, that's just asking for a kick me. I also use custom roms and that really makes a big impact on the plus side. I get a good full day of pretty heavy use out of my amaze but I also have a spare Anker battery just in case, that to me is cheap insurance especially on the road.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tedya:
I do have Gmail. Should I be checking something here? As far as root and custom ROM? No it is bone stock.
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
I am not sure how that is possible as I wouldn't think the soft key lighting would suck much battery life, not to mention I use that app and get no where near those hours. I know sync will increase it, but that much? Got a screen shot of this claim?

Even in stand by mode, the battery drops more than 30% for me in 8 hours if I forget to charge it overnight.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ipigi:
Hello,

I use to be able to tether my RAZR via USB/Wifi, but lately I have not been able to. I cant recall wich one started going first, but I was unable to tether using one method and had to use the other. Now both methods do not work.

I get an IP address using both and am able to ping the phone. I am unable to resolve hostnames or ping IP addresses on the internet.

I have tried rooting my phone and running the iptables command posted on these forums, but still no luck.

I havent tried a factory reset of my phone, but I may be forced to try that solution as well.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ipigi:
Tried doing a full factory reset on my phone. No luck.

Running 2.3.5 on it.

This is getting frustrating!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] navygtab:
What program were you using when tethering? Is your phone rooted? CDMA or GSM?

Look at previous posts about tethering...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Huey85:
hey mate, i had the same issue after updating to 2.3.6.. have a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435619 that fixed the issue for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ipigi:
Phone is not rooted anymore, and problem started occurring before I rooted it. I actually decided to root it when tethering stopped working.

I believe it is GSM as I am on the Fido/Rogers network in Canada. I am using the the included app on my phone to tether using wireless/usb.

I had already tried these steps before wiping my phone. I could always try rooting again and re-applying these steps to test.

Just to clarify a little, the phone actually does tether and my computer gets an IP address, both in WiFi and USB modes. I am able to ping the phone and resolve hostnames using nslookup. I've cleared the DNS cache to be sure it wasnt cached DNS entries that were being returned. I can't ping internet adresses however.

I'll try the IPTABLES commands again and let you know how it goes.

Howdy!

First post and it appears I'm "one of those" that's begging for help.

I flashed a new ROM today - CleanGB - and it works great, with one exception. The home button doesn't work.

I installed the "Button ReMapper" app and still can't get the home button to take me home. But I can make the home button do other functions, such as menu.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!:eek:

I have recently updated to Miui firmware version 2.2.3 on my sensation xe after the previous install of an earlier version would force reboot my phone as often as every 15 mins (When apps were running)

Now I have really gotten to like Miui and would like to continue using it.

However since this update every time I dial or recieve a call I can hear them for a few seconds then it will lose all signal to "No Service" then a few seconds after the call ends it all comes back again.

I'm fairly new to all this so if anyone could advise me on what the issue is likely to be, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

Never done this before so is there any particular radio you recommend i should be using? Google search comes up with a whole load of confusing "answers".

and to install is it as easy as flashing the rom, install from zip in recovery?

the radios can be flashed in fastboot...you have to put the radio img in the tool folder of the SDK then type fastboot flash radio radiofilename.img :D
