ok i got a bit carried away in seeing how many hubs i can try to recreate so here is a video of my current setup of launcher 7

[Android Themes] psycodelic:
dude how did you manage to get differents wallpapers in you launchers?
[Android Themes] djosiah:
i used multipicture live wallpaper and made it so that each launcher opened on different pages.
[Android Themes] psycodelic:
and how did you do to use the contact live tile with launcher pro since there is no shortcut in the app drawer
[Android Themes] duhhh:
can you share this?!
[Android Themes] djosiah:
the contacts tile links to adw launcher. the games tile links to launcher pro. for a short period of time launcher pro started appearing in my app drawer so was able to pin it to the homescreen however it's not there anymore was quite strange but the tile still works. for the setup Im just using 3 launchers and multipicture live wallpaper with a combination of widgets and icons I made. hope this helps people.
[Android Themes] duhhh:
OK,but can you tell as which widgets

your using
[Android Themes] Negrito:
Your setup is incredible! I wish i had the time/patience to setup something like that.
[Android Themes] dunkinmcnut:
I finally get it now.

I've been through this whole thread seeing examples and ppl trying to explain this. I really don't think my droid could handle switching launchers like that. I made a tile to take me to launcherpro and it took forever to load up. Maybe if it was just 3 panels and a few widgets like you have it'd be quicker though.

You're nexus seemed fairly quick at doing it though.

Finally got enough posts to at least show my tiles.

I had to download Poop Log just because I wanted to create that tile : p

[Android Themes] squidbutt:
im still working on getting mine perfect

how can i get launcher pro as a desktop vis shortcut it wont showup in the app drawer:(
[Android Themes] duhhh:
just be smart ;)

pin some app (contacts) to home and choose icon or extra options

give it name of title (people)

e.g. add contacts with extra options ''Contacts-tile" and name of title "people"

now make backup

connect your phone with pc and go to Storage Card/Launcher7Backups,drag and drop the backup file to your desktop

open it with "notepad ++'' press ctrl+f and search for ''people" (the name of title)

now you will see something like that

TILE_TITLE:People
TILE_APP:com.android.contacts.DialtactsContactsEntryActivity
TILE_PKG:com.android.contacts
TILE_ICON:null
TILE_END:

replace

TILE_APP:com.android.contacts.DialtactsContactsEntryActivity
TILE_PKG:com.android.contacts

with

TILE_APP:com.fede.launcher.Launcher
TILE_PKG:com.fede.launcher

save file and put it back to StorageCard/Launcher7Backups

now make restore of this file

now you have shortcut to launcher pro on your home screen

:p

this can be done for each launcher :cool:
[Android Themes] squidbutt:
thanks man i got it working fine now i do appreciate it now i have a bigger hand on how to do things
[Android Themes] 2020shyboy:
if i have ADW & Launcher pro installed

what should i write for ADW (com.fede.launcher.Launcher):o

also how can i use Different wallpapers on different Launchers.

can anybody post People,game wallpapers :( plz..
[Android Themes] clel:
You could also use an app, called Easy Home to create Launcher shortcuts!

but i dont know how to set different wallpapers on different launchers:confused:

tried google for wallpapers shown in video in earlier post, but no luck :confused:

I haven't gotten that far with it myself but i think you could try MultiPicture Live Wallpaper available free from the market.

beautiful widget
[Android Themes] leeh41:
What widget did you use for the lock screen? Minimalistic text? I didnt know it could display the clock with numbers.. thought it only did text.

Also, what news widget is that? the 2x1 that mentions foursquare?
[Android Themes] musashiken:
Once you use minimalistic text, you don't really need the other text clock widgets out there. Minimalistic text can do almost all kinds of numerical/text widget in almost anyway you want it.
[Android Themes] E_man5112:
Can people post their icon packs that they make? I'm going to be working on a few and posting as well, but there seems to be quite a few good ones already.

Also, what resolution are people using for 1x1, 2x1, and 1x2?
[Android Themes] hapyli:
Here are some of tiles I made for own use. Feel free to dl them. Making more once the work schedule grants me some freetime..
[Android Themes] skribbler86:
I used minimalistic text for the time and date on the lockscreen. Like Musashiken said, its all you really need. If you have it you won't really need any other text clock widget.

The news widget is called Minimal Rss Widget.

Enjoy :)
[Android Themes] Pjoter:
I'm experiencing a problem with my custom tiles. When I use custom tiles for phone, message and mail the notifications does'nt work! Any1 more than me who got this problem and is there a fix to this problem? Does the developer have a official thread for this launcher here on xda (I can't find one)?
[Android Themes] marcovittori:
Excuse me for OT,but on my lg optimus one,the contacts tile doesn't work on launcher 7. Someone have any idea?
[Android Themes] Pjoter:
Try to make a new custom tile for the contacts app from your app-drawer.
[Android Themes] marcovittori:
nothing, It doesn't work. That's strange,becouse the people tiles works whit metro ui pro
[Android Themes] tpickard:

[Android Themes] OneDeep:
Heres mine.. still messing around with it
[Android Themes] leeh41:
How are you guys viewing your notifications if you turn off the status bar? I noticed MetroUI had gestures which would drop it down, but Launcher7 doesnt.
[Android Themes] GinoCorleone:
I just slide to the app list :)
[Android Themes] tpickard:
Slide to app list (like Gino said), plus texts, email, and calls all show up on the live notification tiles. That's all I need.
[Android Themes] h_zee13:
Same here I slide to the app list
[Android Themes] leeh41:
oh. nice. didnt know the notification bar comes back in the app list. thanks.

Launcher7 is growing on me, but i still haven't found a way to edit/modify existing tiles... also, the lack of gchat notification tile...
[Android Themes] skribbler86:
Download hellostatusbar from market and set it as a tile. When you tap it your notification bar will drop down

what weather widget is that? I can't find one that fits the tiles nicely

If u dont minde sharing your clock, date, day on the lockscreen :-)
[Android Themes] 2020shyboy:
:)

For Phone Tile- install Dialer One app from market ;)
[Android Themes] kasparszogots:
So i am using minimalistic text widgets (one for each - clock, date & day)

If you want them to look like mine, then i will post restore files which i made for those widgets and there will be a microsoft`s windows phone font (segoeuil.ttf).

So all you should do is:

1)copy attached font "segoeuil.ttf" to your sd card (you can make folder "fonts" and copy the font there) and copy "minimalistic text" restore files to sdcard -> Minimalistic text preferences folder

2)Go to minimalistic text app from your app drawer, hit menu button, take "global settings -> Fonts folder" and set it to folder where you copied font

3)make 3 minimalistic text widgets on your lockscreen (use widgetLocker lockscreen), and than again go to minimalistic text from your app drawer, there should appare your just made widgets. Press and hold on each of them and take restore from my attached files.

Hope this helps. ;)

i found this in market zplayer (alpha)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=s44iQ88S2dc
[Android Themes] kasparszogots:
Yeah i have seen zplayer alpha, i can say that i got inspired from it and decided to make something similar in look and feel. Honestly i would like to get it, but i don`t want to pay for the alpha version, to my mind developers of it should upload in market for example 7 days trial version, i believe they would get much more customers ready to by it when it`s ready.
[Android Themes] mrpiggae:
I would love to know how you set up ADW to look like that. It never occurred to me to use another launcher as a hub...that's awesome.
[Android Themes] squidbutt:
i love it please share your icons
[Android Themes] squidbutt:
i <3 these icons

could you share or share the color scheme?
[Android Themes] kasparszogots:
Ok, here you go guys.

This time its free - go for beta test my icons :D
[Android Themes] kasparszogots:
Well, basically you must (i use adw launcher EX):

1) Disable main dock -set it as none.

2) In screen preferences - hide statusbar and set desktop columns to 9 and desktop rows to 8, but columns and rows setup can be different if you have high resolution device - My Legend has screen resolution 320x480px.

3)Disable all desktop indicators and stuff like that and set screen transition effect to "Normal scroll"

4)Than in first screen i use minimalistic text widgets (if you need the font than i posted it some posts before - in page 40 may be: just look for it). And for music logo and zune logo i used desktop visualizer widget(i will attach this logo and zune logo to this post)

5) The albumart in second page is "Player pro widget - resized to show just albumart" and for control buttons i used "media keys" shortcuts (changed icons)

6)For the rest of screens i made heddings once again with minimalistic text widgets and added playlists using desktop visualizer widgets (to make playlist icons just play around in some image editor to get perfect fit to your screen resolusion - it can take a while), then in desktop visualizer when you chouse what app to launch, take option "other" and than "player pro playlists"

7) The wallpaper is system wallpaper - i know that some people use multi picture live wallpaper to set different wallpapers in every launcher, but is some times buggy and dries your battery, so choice is up to you

Uhhh, quite a bunch of text i wrote :)

[Android Themes] kasparszogots:
If you are talking about launcher 7 homescreen tiles than you should use in "Extra options -> Full-tile bitmap (1x1 only)" option when adding new tile.

Hope this will help you. ;)
[Android Themes] kasparszogots:
I see you have got ZPlayer - so what do you think about it?

I got it just now too, and it seems like it does not support 320x480 resolution devices like my htc legend, for example i see only half of song titles etc. To my mind developers should make some settings section where users can adjust their resolution, download albumarts change some color schemes. So what is your opinion?
[Android Themes] IceDree:
guys I know this is kinda of topic\thread but i gotta ask :

- Does your phones lags & stop responding (& the only way to make work is removing the battery) when you set Launcher 7 as default launcher ?

It works fine when I use it (& keep ADW the default). but when i set it as default , it starts to lag

Im using Launcher 7 (version 1.0.0.66 , most recent) since I don't have access to the paid apps through the market

My Phone is :

Motorola MileStone 1 running Stock (I lost my root access when I updated it) 2.2 Froyo

Hmmm I'm currently running the donate version, but I had been doing some testing with the free version (.66) earlier, and I didn't have any lag issues. Before a few tweaks were made, the free version (.66) was actually faster than whatever the current version of the donate version is on the market (something like .80 or .81). For me, the free version seemed much simpler than the donate version.

Curious, were you running some kind of live wallpaper in the background? Were there any differences between having the background behind the tiles be the wallpaper or just black?

EDIT: By the way, try restarting your phone via battery pull. It seems to fix some things with Launcher 7.

No , Im running the standard black wallpaper that comes with Launcher 7 (honestly I stopped running live wallpapers a while ago & the only one I use from time to time is the "Droid X eye")

Yes you are right, restarting the phone via battery pull for some how actually does fix the errors in Launcher 7

I guess the reason of the lagging might be the combination of running some apps (such as WhatsApp & Real player beta*) in the same time

Now the phone\launcher doesn't lag anymore (or at least like it used to be) , but some times the Launcher reboots it self & takes from 7 to 15 seconds to become fully functional

* Since I've installed WhatsApp I've found that the RealPlayer beta & WhatsApp starts on their own , I've solved the problem by uninstalling RealPlayer beta

Thank you for your help , much appreciated ...

[Android Themes] droidbrick:
Hi, I'm the developer and I rarely have time to come here, but I believe this message deserves an answer. No it is not abandoned. I've been perfecting the donate version and I will bring the things back to free version too. Maybe something special is reserved for donators only, but what it is will be seen.

Oh, and off topic: I never thought about possibility of daisy-chaining launchers to create hubs.. quite clever indeed :)
[Android Themes] toosurreal01:
Anxiously awaiting the notification bar!

Great work on this app, I went straight for the donate version and haven't looked back!
[Android Themes] eolsgaard:
The free version has the black background, has ads, and take a bit to load the application menu. The paid version has a clear background, no ads, and doesn't have any loading time for the application menu (except when you first start Launcher 7). The donate version also has a TON of other features that the free version doesn't have, so I highly endorse it. Also, it's being updated all the time.

I do want to mention for some people, you may have gotten stuck on an earlier version. This happened to me and I had to uninstall-reinstall the donate version to get the actual donate version. I hadn't gotten any updates for like a month and was thinking that this app was abandoned too, but as soon as I reinstalled, I found out I'd missed like 10+ updates. (You should be on version 1.0.0.85 for the donate version.)
