This will be my first tutorial for how I Kang BRK's masterpieces to work on the HTC EVO 4G LTE. The first thing to understand is that each phone's screen resolution from model to model will vary. The EvOLTE screen res. is 1280 X 720, the LG Google Nexus 4 screen resolution is 1280 X 786, the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen resolution 1280 X 720, HTC OG EVO is 800 X 480 and so on. As you can see, minor screen res between devices, therefore one cannot always just take someone else's work on unequal screen res. and plop it on their phone and expect it to be perfect. So, what am I saying? Be patient. Experiment. Pay attention to detail when experimenting. Eventually you can figure out how to give the illusion of gapless continuity, but you may as I mentioned have to get a little creative to make it work. So, without further delay, here is my TUT on devices with screen resolutions similar to 1280 X 720. Please read my instructions first all the way through, because it may be easier to set up the screen by skipping certain steps first and back tracking to complete full set up.

Phone info:

PHONE: HTC EvOLTE Screen Res. 1280 X 720

LAUNCHER: APEX PRO – 10X8, NO MARGINS, HIDE STATUS BAR, HIDE DOCK.

ROM: PACman ROM by Jamie71

PARANOID PREFERENCES: PHABLET MODE = Workspace UI 600px @ 220 DPI  IMPORTANT!

It is important to know that any modifications done to your workspace environment will have an effect on how imported UCCW will display on your screen and determine how much modifications will be needed to make it fit properly. Again, be patient and pay attention to how the changes you make in UCCW affect the widget.

First off, please note that for the BRK Kang Project#1, I used 7 parts. 6 UCCW and part 7 being the navigation bar option in AOKP at 42 DPI.

1)	5X1 UCCW – resized and stretched across screen to max width. Then when in UCCW configuration for widget, resize the background (also, you can imagine as your canvas, or workspace) to Width:915XHeight:156.

2)	5X2 UCCW – resized and stretched across screen to max width. Then when in UCCW configuration for widget, resize the background to Width:685XHeight:232.

3)	4x3 UCCW – resized and stretched across screen to max width and fill to #4 UCCW. Then when in UCCW configuration for widget, resize the background to Width:483XHeight:330. *NOTE* Skip setting up #3 UCCW for last and skip to #6 UCCW to work now from bottom up. Then when you get back to #3 resize widget to fit the remainder of the screen horizontally and vertically with background size provided. Now you can insert your own image and create invisible hotspots (I made mine Goggle Maps & TelNav) or import icons, whatever you like. *NOTE 2* Keep in mind that if you are trying to use an image similar to what I have done to make it look like a back ground, you will need to use an app such as PicSay, WallPaper Maker, or something similar and make sure you image is resized to the widget size parameters first before importing to UCCW or you will get the error mentioning you have exceeded the 160,000 pixel max… this is just to save time.

4)	5X1 UCCW – resized and stretched across screen to max width. Then when in UCCW configuration for widget, resize the background to Width:915XHeight:156. To make this widget with text only (you can obviously modify to your own likings) I took BRK’s Time and Date widget he provided and made text only.

5)	5X1 UCCW – resized and stretched across screen to max width. Then when in UCCW configuration for widget, resize the background to Width:915XHeight:156.

6)	5X1 UCCW – resized and stretched across screen to max width. Then when in UCCW configuration for widget, resize the background to Width:915XHeight:156.

7)	As mentioned before, this part is the optional NavBar available on certain ROMs. If you do not have the option to enable or disable on your device, then you may experience a small gap somewhere. Read further on how to offset.

So, once all your widgets are set up you can begin to fine tune the appearance to give as I mentioned before the ILLLUSION of gapless continuity. Why use the word illusion, because in some cases there may still be very small gaps due to different launchers, grid sizes and different screen sizes. This is where creativity steps in. On my device before I figured out how to set up all the widget properly to be gapless, I set up a background that matched the hex color value of BRK’s provided widgets (292929 AKA Gray16) you can usually figure out what the hex color value of widgets or parts of by; a) trial and error in UCCW by using the color selector, b) selecting a part of the UCCW the creator made where he/she used a shape or something to match other parts they may have made in Photoshop, or c) just PM the creator and seek advice. Once you have fully completed your home screen and have hidden any gaps that may have been showing you will need to complete the final steps. You will now need to go into each of the widgets and inspect each part that may have been moved or skewed during the resizing process and fix them to fit properly again, such as images, shapes, text, etc. For instance, in the widget BRK provided that has the Google search button. I had to resize the shapes (shrink them) to fit inside the widget again. Make sure you note the starting size so you can keep the width and height in the same ratio once complete. The first shape was 160X160. When I finished reshaping to the way I felt comfortable with it, it was 120X120. Then before you save your modified widget, go into the HotSpots selection, check each HotSpot, verify that the HotSpot app is set properly to your device and ROM on each one. Now you can save your new modified widget. You will need to do this for each one and once finished remember to turn HotSpots mode back to “ON” and you are finished.

I hope this has helped everyone that may have gap issues and I will try to provide more TUT’s as we go.

Please let me know if there was anything I missed or if you have any questions. I will try to respond as quickly as possible, but please try to remember that I work and it may be awhile before I can look into your question.

Oh yeah, if I didn’t mention before, be patient and get creative.

Peace!!
