First of all, I sincerely apologize if this is the wrong section for such a post.
Basically I trying to setup a homescreen in which part of it can scroll vertically, but another part doesn't move. I currently have Lightning Launcher, which is great by the way, but I can only set it up so that the entire screen scrolls. I was thinking it would be nice for have a spot on the left side of the screen for favorite apps and maybe some widgets (I guess you could call it a "dock"), and on the right side of the screen have a scrolling list of the rest of my applications. Probably with 1/3 of the screen being the left portion and 2/3 being the right portion. Can this be done with Lightning Launcher? or any other launcher? and how?
Anyone?

It can be done with Lightning Launcher.
I am a fan, actually.
First, select the apps you want in the dock.
Then, line them up on one side of the screen.
For each, long press in the new version and select pin.
In the old one, you go to common itms setting or something.
After you pin, you can add a dock by giving the apps backgrounds.

Could someone please download the app from the market, setup and let me know if you any text freezing while typing, scrolling issues while on the Internet or XDA App? It was messing with my phone but would like to know if others have issues too. (BTW... I really like the App)

Wave Launcher is fully customizable. You can change the size, location and even thickness of the gesture-area. To change it, look for "Gesture-area presets" in the Settings screen.
The setting the works for most people and is my personal favorite is "Bottom Left - 20%". It will never interfere with the keyboard or scrolling this way.
Note that you can also have Wave Launcher automatically disable in Landscape mode which is often used for typing, games, etc.
The app is very powerful and highly customizable, please go through all the settings to make sure you make the most out of it.
Any reports guy's?

Used it and it interefered with a lot of things going on on the bottom of the phone such as opening the app drawer and typing. Just my experience others may vary.

As Mike said above.
I also tried it for a bit, and even changed the popup swipe location but it is just OK. I think bottom corner 20% was the one that worked best for me, but even then I would accidentally press the Home button. Sides are for screen sliding already, and top is for notifications, so there is not much free room to swipe around. Its a fine launcher, but I did not find it useful enough to keep.
I thought it would let me make a gesture to swipe it onto the screen, not follow my finger around everywhere, to where I cant even get rid of it without the awkward swipe back into the same corner of the screen.
What it should have is a setting on how far to follow you across the screen, so if I swipe up from bottom corner, it appears, then it follows me around but only until I get to say 50% of the screen height, then it goes away.
That way, if it appears accidentally, I dont have to swipe is back down, but simply continue the swipe up motion until it dissapears.
I tried it but didn't care for it. Holding the Home screen button essentially does the same thing. Aloso, If you're running stock then you've got your most recent apps in the notification drop down. Unless you are constantly switching between apps, it's pretty pointless.
I use mine for a quickdial and store a few contacts there. so far it hasn't interfered too much
Thanks for your feedback guys!

Not sure everyone noticed but when sliding between the 7 home screens, if you slide it slowly with your finger, then you'll notice that the widgets are starting to pop out more. This effect is just like compiz for Linux.

That's pretty cool. I also noticed when on the homescreen with the weather widget, place a finger on top left of screen, and a finger on the bottom right of screen, then swipe left finger up at same time as right finger down, it brings up the screen where it shows all 7 screens.....hope you can follow that, haahaa!

The pinching in swiping that brings up all 7 screens can be done at any position and any screen, just start by having two fingers apart and pinch in then u get it. Cool thing with 3.0 is that you can slow motion this process.
I was hoping this would be a thread about how you had enabled landscape mode on the EVO 3d like on the flyer. Stupid that EVO 3d has this rotation locked

i was hoping this was a thread that had a way to disable the carousel when swiping fast..When i want to get to a screen fast the stupid thing spins..Dumb feature,cool at 1st yes but when it comes down to every day use the carousel is stupid.
I don't know about all that pinching stuff to get the 7 screens, its easier just to hit the home button when on the home screen. I don't know if this was on my EVO 4G, but i like when I'm using the browser, you can long press the return key and it brings up the history.
You can also see the gears on the side of the flip clock.

Is there a way to turn off the carousel effect? Especially at unlock, it's really annoying and actually detracts from performance.

Nope sorry. Just download spare parts and slow down the animations so it don't take off as much.

I've learned that the carousel will only go if you swipe over more than half the screen. As long as you do short swipes it works a lot better.
I am running adw ex and I love having the option of using the large hidden dock bar as my main dock but this only seems to work randomly and I don't know how to get it to reappear again. Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution? Thank you

i don't seem to have this problem. I just touch and drag-up on the launcher icon and its there. it does pop up when coming back to the homescreen once in a while, but thats not really an issue.
Problem i did notice tho, is that the icons on my homescreen can't be place at the left or right edge, its just a blank column that i can't put apps in, really minimizes the space i have and doesn't look as nice with everything closer to the middle. I only have this issue with EX, not the free version.
Any help there?
Are you talking about the regular "phone" dock bar (right side of screen in landscape) or the hidden dock bar (bottom of screen in landscape)? Because the regular one can be removed in the ui settings to give more screen real estate. Then there is another option to make the hidden one your main dock.

thanks for the tip on more screen realestate.. but i never had the dockbar along the side and can't seem to find the setting to put it there...
Sorry im at work right now on my phone... when i get home ill try and take a screen shot and show you what i mean

Nevermind I just assumed the main dock bar was on the side like launcher pro. But I figured out the hidden one can be set with a gesture so now mine can hide /unhide with a swipe down. The hidden one is way better anyway and can hold way more icons.

I've had my sgs2 since launch but the only thing that bugs me is the default screen. Is there any chance to have the home screen as screen 4 instead of screen 1? I remember seeing somewhere it can be done but the search is useless on my phone

If your using tw 4.5 you can go to edit and drag the page you want to set as your home screen to the top (not sure about earlier versions, as I have never really used it). Other launchers such as go, adw and launcher pro all have similar options.

You should be able to select the menu button and then select edit, you will then be able to rearrange the screens to your liking.
Thanks for the reply guys, I'm using tw. When I press the home button I want the screen it goes to tto be screen 4 (middle screen same as htc sense)
I understand you can mov, them around but that still. Makes screen 1 default :-(

Hey All - I'm trying to move my blinkfeed homescreen as my right-most homescreen. Sense 5 doesn't seem to enable me to rearrange my home screen position... Anyone have a solution for this?
Blinkfeed is defaulted to the left side. You can't move it only the other screens are movable. Yes I know it sucks I already tried.

Ok no big deal that blinkfeed is defaulted to the left side. The issue is that I can't rearrange my other home screens either. If I want to move my home screen over, Id need to drop it and recreate it on a fresh blank screen!
Are you sure you can rearrange your other screens?
You can't rearrange the screens at this time but you can designate any one of the five possible screens as your home screen. I've been running Sense 5 for about a month and I've gotten used to having the left most screen as my homescreen. I'm hoping the Dev community for T-Mobile is as good as those for Sprint. If so, I'm sure there will be a fix that will allow us to have more than 5 screens and give us the option to rearrange them.
Ok thanks guys. I'll have to try it out and see if I can adjust.. I'm use to having my work stuff to on the left screens, my personal stuff on the right screens.
Just hold, then slide your screen up that you want as a "Home" screen (with the added panels/homescreens).
