[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
Lovejoys hubs kindlefire.

what is hubs.

hubs is a setup that allows you to navigate from screen to screen with the touch of your finger (without scrolling)

it works by having icons on every screen for every screen. ie press icon 1 on any screen and it takes you to screen 1.

with this you dedicate each screen (hub) into a subject. ie games, media, home etc because of this things ar very organised and easy to navigate to.

only 2-3 touches to get to any app (and no more searching).

Hi here is my setup on my kindle fire and a detailed guide how to get this look, this is my 1st guide so please go easy.

With this guide you will have 5 home screens and a 5x5 row/colum setup (because it keeps everything the same from landscape to portrait mode).

my screen shots

what you will need

Adwpro launcher (worth every penny)

adw minimalistic theme

multipicture live wallpapers app (free)

simple text app (free)

minimalistic text app (free)

my wallpapers here. http://db.tt/diulORYj

8/12 wallpaper or so, I picked relevant wallpapers per home screen ie, media themed pictures for media

home screen and games pictures for games home page etc.

start by installing adw pro launcher and setting as default launcher and applying minimalistic theme (I will let you work that one out)

install multipicture live wallpapers, minimalistic text and simple text app's.

Now create 6 folders on your desktop rename them

games wpaper

media wpaper

home wpaper

tool's wpaper

work wpaper

lockscreen wpaper

now place pictures you have chosen in each folder ie. Games home screen pic's in games wpaper folder.

When all pictures are in the right folders, mount sdcard to pc and drag and drop each folder into /sdcard/pictures on your kindle. (when you now reboot and open up your album you should see 6 new folders with your screen pic's in them.

In adw make these settings.

That's adw set up now for wallpapers.

Hold down on home screen and get menu, select wallpapers/live wallpaper/multipicture live wallpapers

press green + add individual settings, until you have 5 screen settings

press screen1 settings

picture source=album/wgames press ok

crop/resize ratio=fit to full screen

back out and do all 5 screen with you 5 folders you made earlier then do lock screen settings the same.

Back out and press set wallpaper

done

now setting up screen short cuts (the tedious but nice bit)

on each home page long press and select launcher action then screen 1 (whilst on homepage 1)

do this 4 times then move to home page 2 and do same process but selecting screen 2.

do this trough all 5 home screens so you should have 5 icons that will send you back to the screen you are on (keep it like this for now as it keeps things in order).

Now to change all those icons into what they are ie.

On home screen 1 change all 4 icons to a simple text image.

Long press an icon on screen 1, press edit, tap on the icon image,tap adwtheme iconpacks, tap simple text, then on icon style simple. You should be in settings of simple text app.

At the top tap the word simple and change it to games. untick gradient & shadow, text size=48.

Press the big a at the top and select default 07, tick anti alias and linear text.

Then press menu and select save style, then press menu again and select save icon change text to games and press ok.

Do this to all 4 icons on home screen 1 (now you have a template though so when you get to icon style select your previous made template instead of simple icon again).

Then do this to all other home screens but edit the name to media for the icons on screen 2, home for the icons on screen 3 tool's for the icons on screen 4 and work for screen 5.

then make 1 new launcher action per page and make this one open/close app draw alter the icon like above but on each home screen name it by its home screen ie on screen1 (games) name it games with the text in blue (this is so on each home page it all looks the same except the blue name will act as an app draw launcher).

Now move one of each icon to each screen so it looks like mine.

You can now go and play with it and alter things to your liking:-)

I hope I have covered everything.

Cheers steve

edit: you will need to tick force 5 homescreens in "workarounds for some applications" in wallpaper settings (this will align all wallpapers to the home screens.
