Is there any app/homescreen replacement where I can save different homescreen setups? I'm using ADW EX. yes I can save ONE setup, but i want to save them like a theme. More than one. Switch them fast etc.
Or is there a easy way to make themes in adw? I'm not a coder, so easy = easy

it seems to be basic... but I dont find any solution
saving the adw backup file without root, is that possible?
Try launcher pro with backup option.. but it won't restore widget.

Ok I did a search and didn't find any thing. First, how can I clear the defaults for certain actions on my thunderbolt?
Also, is it possible to not use the included launcher with roms like gingerbean? I don't want to use sense but I don't want to use launcher products or adw either.
Thanks
To clear defaults go to settings, applications, manage applications. Under all applications select the app you want, it will then give you the option to clear default.
You can use any launcher you want on pretty much any rom. ADW and Launcher Pro are favorites.
Thanks for the clear default info. What if the rom comes with launcher pro? How can I not use it? Like I don't want to use a different launcher over top. Is that possible?
Yes. Download a new launcher I would then use titanium backup to convert it to a system application. You can then use titanium backup to freeze or uninstall the launcher you don't want to use.

That worked perfectly. Thanks
Well I have been using Go Launcher and I want to go back to ADW. is there a way to migrate my Go Launcher settings to ADW like how i did with ADW to go launcher back then with desktop migrate?
You can change tha launcher by pressing the middle (home) key and selecting the launcher that you want from list of available launchers. If you have only one you will go to the home of that launcher...
I dont think there is as solution for that. As long as something like "desktop migrate" isnt built into ADW you have to manually reconfigure you home screens.
If I'm not mistaken, desktop migrate works with most launchers. Give it a try.

Desktop migrate works. Sort of... usually the migrated Widgets are empty, means they fail to load. But one could at least try that. You can find it in market.

I've tried desk migrate. It only works from ADW or LauncherPro to Go Launcher

Hi,
I'm not sure if this the right place to post this but anyway here it is. I have already personalized all the apps and widgets that I will use in my main screen, I've put them altogether the way I wanted it. Now my question is, is there any app that could prevent somebody in changing my apps and screen the way I wanted it to be?
Appreciate any response.
If u decide to run a custom Launcher (golauncher, adw launcher, etc), these typically have an option to lock the desktop. I use Adw Launcher Ex and it has this option. I'm not sure if u can do it on the Sense Rosie Launcher.

thanks! will try that one out...
Is there a way to change the default folder icons? I DON'T want to use an app because I like how the default one works. It's fast and simple.
I'm using Launcher Pro (free) on a rooted g2x (Eaglesblood cm7 rom).
You can on ADW, at least ADW Ex anyway. I'm not sure if the free ADW allows for this, but you can try it out.
If you're looking for customization, I'd suggest ADW over LauncherPro. If you want to stick with LauncherPro, I don't think there's a way to do it.
Any solutions?
I'm also interested in this topic, and I agree with you, fast and simple, it does what it should
Moreover having a rooted phone I suppose that there is way to make a flashable zip or some other tweak to have this done
thanks guy!testing
I'm using Folder Organizer, but would love to ditch the overhead. Also, adding items is a bit convoluted; not nearly as easy as the drag & drop of the default folders. There must be an image file buried in there somewhere, that's accessible on a rooted phone. I just have no idea where!
Hi Guys,
I'm not sure if I have searched enough but I'm currently using Nikez Lente's ICS rom 1.0.1a9 and I was wondering if anyone of you know what is the system app name for the phone's homescreen where all my apps, widgets are currently stored. I'm a bit of a flash freak so every now and then I drag my at least 40-50 apps one by one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
If you use Go Launcher Ex, it has a feature to save the settings.
Okay. That's a good suggestion but I'm quite happy with the default ICS launcher so...do you know the exact name of the system that lists all my homescreen shortcuts?
I'm thinking here that as long as it is ICS this does not change right?
Well, I doubt it. if you are switching between roms which were not built on the same kernel, it's difficult to restore the home app along with data.

What if I only use a specific Custom Rom(Nikez Lente Releases)?
Well, I use miui ROM which has got it's own backup tool. It backs up the desktop layout.
can you see if your ROM had any such backup tool
Nah, Nikez Lente ICS is a vanilla ROM & a light one, which I like very much while were at it. I use titanium backup when I switch to new release I'm just not sure which system app to backup for the homescreen.
