Hi all, is there a way to add and remove tabs to the TF3D? I would like to add Calendar and Task tabs and remove the Sprint TV tab and music since I dont use those. My Phone is CDMA
Thanks
Search for Sprint Calender Tab in the Diamond forums. Also, to move your tabs around, use TF3D Config also found in the Diamond forums(just delete "tweaks" from the file)
I posted this within a ROM thread a couple days ago but it has had little traffic. I am reposting it here for visibility.
I am using NFSFANs 6.5.x 28004 ROM and am loving it! Everything works great but I have a cosmetic/functionality preference and am not sure how to change it.
My question: I prefer HTC 2.x over the Titanium/Windows default home screen. However, I prefer using the default WinMo menus and SMS apps over the HTC ones. Is there any way I can use the Manilla front end for the home screen but not its menus? When I click a txt in the manilla SMS window, I would prefer it to open the WinMo SMS window instead of using the HTC one. I just find it more stable and easier to use. I also like the look and setup of the WinMo menus over the ones that are now system wide since I have manilla enabled.
Am I missing a setting?
maybe try going to the messages tab and tapping on all messages
I have been doing that as an alternative but it adds a few clicks.
Just wondering if any major app maker or skin design out there could make it possible for an app to make the normal wm 6.5 look like 6.5.3 without flashing a rom?
That is indeed no easy task, as it involves a lot of changes, like:
Moving the menu down
Changing the contacts, messaging, connection manager and other applications
Changing menus, notifications, popups
etc etc
So...why not better flashing a 6.5.3 ROM?
Hey guys,
I've been giving a GSM RAZR a thorough going-over this past week for an upcoming review, and in doing so have found a few interesting hidden features. Thought I'd start a thread about 'em, since I haven't seen anything mentioned here (Or elsewhere).
- First up, installing an alternate launcher automatically sets the new launcher as the default. Odd that Moto would do this. Also odd is that the long-press home task switcher/app drawer is specifically part of the Blur Home, so you get whatever task switcher your new home app feels like defaulting you to (Usually Android's standard one).
- You can still create shortcuts to the Blur Home's app drawer and app drawer groupings in alternative launchers (Long press on empty home space/add shortcut/app groups), so you can - for example - use Launcher Pro or ADW with the Moto app drawer by placing a shortcut to 'All Apps' in the dock.
- The above shortcut business also applies to stock Blur Home, letting you use the app drawer groups like folders. That's not really 'hidden', though.
Next up, we're going to need to install Launcher Pro. I'm not a huge Launcher Pro fan, since its development seems to have dried up, but this works regardless of whether Launcher Pro is your default launcher or not. As above, however, installing a new launcher will automatically set said new launcher as the default, and short of uninstalling it or installing a third launcher/a home switcher app, you cannot set Blur Home as the default again.
You can get around that by placing a shortcut to the Blur Home itself on the Launcher Pro desktop. It'll also pop up in 'recent apps' once you have Launcher Pro installed. Strange.
Anyway, the reason we want Launcher Pro installed is that it gives you many more options when placing shortcuts on the desktop of any launcher. Under shortcuts (Or in Blur Home's case, Shortcuts/App Actions/) is a new category called Activities. This lets you place a shortcut to any part of an app that can be called as a separate activity. Effectively, you can place a shortcut directly to one part of another app - although, be warned, some of these turn out to be shortcuts to 'Force Close', or 'Reboot the phone' because the OS doesn't expect these apps to be opened in this manner. Some are genuinely useful, however, and some are a little more interesting..
Of note:
- You can create a shortcut directly to Universal Inbox, rather than having to tap Messaging, then Universal Inbox. Yay!
- You can get directly to the Albums view of the crappy stock music player, or the Folders view of the gallery, avoiding those awful splash screens you get when launching either of these normally.
- You can get directly to different views in the calendar, like the Diary/Agenda view.
Now, it gets really interesting. Some of the app activities you can make shortcuts to aren't accessible through the apps themselves, the very definition of 'hidden'. Some of these are obviously hidden because Moto cheaped out on the firmware and bundled things like an FM Radio app into the stock Music player, which doesn't work because the RAZR doesn't have an FM Radio to the best of my knowledge (Even if it did, the app doesn't do much beyond demand you insert headphones and endlessly scan for channels).
- There's a debugging tool for the homescreen, which has settings for things like 'orientation changes', acceleration factor, and 3D widgets. None of these seem to work, unfortunately.
- The most interesting - profiles for the homescreen. If memory serves, a few previous Moto phones had this, and it has of course been an element of Sense for some time. You can choose from Home, Work, and Other, and they do work - widget layouts will be saved. It tends to force close when switching back to one layout from another, and occasionally changes the wallpaper to the Droid 3 stock with the three lines (Funnily enough, that wallpaper isn't in the wallpaper gallery for the GSM RAZR) but it does work.
I'll chuck some screenshots up shortly, and additional features as I find 'em.
Anyone ever heard of Bluestacks?
I'm so much interested in BlueStacks recently.
I tried to install BlueStacks in my Surface Pro 3, but i hate the ugly default launcher. Now i wanna customize a ROM for Bluestacks, here's what i want:
1. Only one page shows in desktop
2.Customized wallpaper in desktop
3. Third party applications are not allowed to create shortcuts or icons in desktop
4. All soft keys should be hide including Home,Back and Task Views
5. No any pre-installed application
I guess i need a simple launcher which users are unable to modify homepage.
Anybody has any ideas?
