[Q] Itching Thumb? - TouchPad General

Itching Thumb is basically a launcher that works with your current launcher and has a card system the same as WebOS. I'm suggesting this for those that want to run android but want the multitasking of WebOS but the apps of android, if anyone could get this to work on the TP, it would be much appreciated!

Looks good. Don't suppose you have an apk? Don't worry if not. I'll Google it next.
It's not on the market or the developers website, that's all.

The apk is on this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815289&page=17
I'll install it tonight and go from there.

Some Apps not Full Screen

For some reason quite a few apps seem to be only taking up half the screen. Sprint Locator for example only on half top of screen. Antone else getting this problem?
Yep, I think the resolution isn't supported
Download spareparts from the market and open then uncheck compatibility mode and restart. Then try your apps again.

Its merely a resolution issue....no worries

I can name two more apps with this problem, ibird pro and newsroom. There are more and more phones with the higher resolution so I figure it will get fixed eventually.

I messed around with that on my Symbian phones. They had a trial version of SPD, but it didn't do anything for me.
Since I've been on Android, I've used pretty much all the major launchers and try to keep up with the new ones.
LP is my all time fav, but ICS is nice to have until the fw upgrade comes out...

Apparently Google wasn't very happy that we finished before them but ICSL will be back on the market soon and in the meantime you can find all updates and release information on the site http://syndicateapps.com/main/ICS_Launcher.html
We've been making a lot of changes in the last week to get the dock and app drawer to look more like the video on engadget so stay tuned

ADW question
I have a custom dock and icon pack that is in a zipped file. The instructions say to "The docks and icons in the folders meant for custom launcher such as launcherpro, adw launcher, go launcher and so on. Don't apply with cwm! Just extract the zip file in desktop." but not much else...
How do you get ADW EX to recognize this package? THNX

Yes, I am running on my LG Optimus V. It has run smoothly so far (one fc, minor) but does have a minor issue with the app drawer. On the LG, the screen is kind of small and the apps extend up into the header area (Apps | Widgets) and the lower bar doesn't show up at all. Doesn't seem to matter much to me, I am pretty happy with it and think the guys did a great job on it. HCL looks pretty cool too.
This launcher works great on the Atrix, the devs are doing a great job and they've promised an ICS lockscreen for this week.
Keep an eye on their thread/site this is going to rock even more soon!

Mostly just to have the Jelly Bean features. Jelly Bean also introduces tweaks to the system to make it smoother and faster (project butter). If you are perfectly happy on CM9, then you dont HAVE to update.
And this afternoon, so far, about hours, it works good, no restart, and i install de cyboot, to make android boot default, so, even if it restart, it will restart to android, so no big problem now.

I didn't want to post this, since it seems like one of those things ripe for the placebo effect, but my loading times do seem faster. The signal is also more stable.

I got Facebook home working on my X2

So If you want to try out Facebook home on your x2 I found a way. I'm on CM9 and I modified my build.prop file to make it seem as if I was running a Samsung galaxy s3. Then it will work. There is no lag on Facebook home and it works fine. Leave any questions in the comments
Thanks for the info. How do you like Facebook home?

Two options that work good in my opinion.

Kid lets you block access to apps selectively. So no web browser or play store from angry birds etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.kidslock
And if you are using mx player for movies, then lock them into the app with this plug in.
Good luck, kids are much smarter than they appear with these devices!
