Anyone know if theres anyway to use some of the Samsung Widgets like S Tasks with a different launcher (using Nova at mo).
Thanks
Whow,you did answer your question yourself . Lol.
lol, no
my sig was when I had the SGS2 and was in one of the dev forums and the same people kept asking the same inane questions when it was a few posts up.

First of all, I'm new here and I have to apologize in advance if I maybe put this thread in the wrong section.
I must say I got bored with all those standard, old style home launchers like adw, launcher pro, go launcher and similar. Basically, they are all the same.
That's why I wanted you guys to tell me launchers you know of that take different approach like slidescreen, sweeter home, netfront life screen and perhaps claystone launcher.
You can list both ones under development and ones that are available at the moment. Also, they can be free or paid, it doesn't matter.
Just got the GT 10.1 2 days ago, have been doing a lot of reading on this forum. I have a couple questions that I think some f you would have quick answers.
1. About ADW launcher EX, it appears many recommend this as a replacement the stock home screen. My question is, what would happen to the stock home screen (existing icons, widegets) after ADW is installed? What happens when you uninstall ADW?
2. About rooting, this is a tough one, after reading hours on this forum and other website. There seemed to be many different guides out there, linking different files needed to be downloaded and executed. Also, it's not clear which is applicable to the latest firmwire with touchwiz and honeycomb 3.1.
I only want to root to get access to /system/app and install some widgets. That is, not interested in custom rom. In fact I want to keep mine as stock as possible, so I won't have problem with the next OTA firmware update.
Any suggestions guys?
1. if you uninstall adw it will just revert back to stock. you can have both and switch from time to time by just doing "clear defaults" on the "launch by default" in the app settings.
2. first post in the development area by Lorddeff07 is updated regularly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
Do not have any worries about adw. You don't even have to set adw as your default launcher, so that everytime you hit the home key you will be given the option of which launcher you want to use. I personally could never go back to stock launcher after adw.
As far as rooting, I would read more about it and watch some YouTube videos before you attempt that. If your apprehensive to something like a launcher I don't think your ready to be messing around with rooting the tab just yet. I am debating to root myself just so I can have a black taskbar on touchwiz. If it wasn't for the grey taskbar I don't think I ever would really need to root.

Moving to Q&A
I posted the below question in the Photon 4G forums and only got 1 response.
Anyone know if there is an app, launcher, mod, anything that will allow me to move my dockbar to the top of the screen, below the notification bar? Is it even possible?
The response was that it might be possible in ADW. I did some research, but couldn't find an answer if moving the dockbar is possible in ADW or with anything else. I thought the wider Android audience might know for sure. Or, would it take a new ROM?
Thanks!

Have you tried other Launchers? Go Launcher, ADW, Launcher Pro, ICS Launcher.

I currently use Launcher Pro and have played around with Go. Have not tried ICS, but will look into it.
I'm going with an assumption that the bar cannot be moved, as searching with Google could not find an answer.
ok so i installed this app from the market an hour ago and for the life of me i cant get 5 different wallpapers up. im running unnamed/entropy dd, w/ adw ex. i dont understand what im doing wrong ive added the 5 screen settings and set each picture source to the picture i wanted on that particular screen. hit back and set wallpaper. go home and i only have one wallpaper... ive been messing around for an hour now and cant figure out how/ what settings work . could some one who is familiar with this app assist me.... thanks
Really 75 views and no one has any insight?
This forum is built around the sgh-i777, not the market apps that run on it. The app's dev would be able to help you out better than we would.
I've been wondering if I'd like an app like that, so when I get a chance I'll check it out. But in the mean time, see about emailing the dev.

Thanks but Ive heard tons of ppl talking about how great it is so I figure they would be able to give a little insight on the subject, hoping someone would of had the same problem and offer a helping hand.... but thanks for the advise.
And just an fyi, this fourm is for a specific devise and anything relating to it... Hence the q&a and themes and APPS.
You might want to look in the Android Theme subsection of the Android Hacking and Development section. I know kgill uses that app in a number of his themes.
Or check the Just Reveal blog. Im pretty sure I've seen instructions there. Sorry I don't have a link handy.

yea i do this just fine. I use go launcher so maybe there is somehting in adw overriding what you are doing in multi picture?
also check under advanced settings there is a "workaround for some home ..."
I have mine set to force 5 screen and have go laucher set for 5 desktops. make sure you force that to the number you have in adw.
ok stupid mistake, had to set scrollable wallpaper on adw. Durrrrrr

That's what i was about to say.. hahah
I know that you cannot access the stock widgets with ADW. I also understand that the app that is floating around here (appwidgetpicker) does not work with HTC (of if it does, someone let me know where it should go).
So the question is, how do we get to them?
You don't. They are integrated into the sense framework and only work with sense. This question has been answered 10000000000000000000 times.
