I have my evo 3D running ICS stock+rooted. I've tried several launcher and can't seem to get scrolling wallpapers to work. I've turned on the settings for it in the launcher prefs, but no go. Has anyone else gotten this to work with Sense 3.6/ICS.
Thanks
Mark
Have you tried apex launcher? That has multi scrolling wallpaper. It also has options to disable and enable it on home screen menu. Please do not say it don't work because I use this launcher daily.
sense
Try another launcher, or install custom rom with sense 4

Stupid me. It was the way I was cropping the wallpapers. Thanks!

Is it possible to access the Personalize menu from another launcher somehow? Going to Menu -> Settings -> Personalize does nothing at all from inside ADW... and it's the only way to customize the lock screen and whatnot... I can uninstall ADW, go back to Sense and it works, but I don't use Sense... and it would be nice if I could just hit a button or whatever and get there without having to change my home launcher...
OK this may or may not work. I know if you are in sense as the launcher, you can open adw with the app shortcut in the drawer, so, in adw can you just make a shortcut to sense, and click that?

Thanks for the suggestion, but Sense doesn't show up in in the list when trying to add a shortcut or any widget or anything.

lol it wouldn't be that easy. I was more hoping you could find the intent in the launcher action/system function list...
My workaround is to go into applications and clear defaults on whatever launcher im using and press home and switch to sense and then personalize what i need and go back and reset my alternative launcher to default. Kind of a pain but it works. Wish i had a quick shortcut to suggest.
How to change app drawer from horizontal pages to vertically oriented, using the default launcher? I used ADW before, but the default ICS launcher looks fine to me... for now
Also, there's how to increase the number of slots for shortcuts and widgets in home - in the default launcher too?

With stock Trebuchet launcher there really isnt a way, if i were you id look into alternate launchers like NOVA or APEX , i personally use apex though i dont see any options for vertical scrolling through the app drawer
Posted this on Rootz as well but I wanted to ask here.
My main wants are:
Ability to hide bottom dock and Notification bar and use gestures to bring them back. Would be nice to utilize all that wonderful screen landscape.
Use my ADW and LP icon packs if possible.
Easy to use shortcuts for moving between screens along with smooth transitions when doing so.
Long press icons to change icon image.
Hi-res display
Resizeable widgets
Keep in memory setting that works well and/or the ability to set custom wallpaper dimensions. It's a pain in the butt to have to reset my wallpapers with Wizardrii because LP got booted from memory and had ot restart.
Set non-scrolling wallpapers.
Do both Apex and Nova have all of these features? Guess I could consider ADW too. Is there one you would recommend over the other? Thanks in advance.
All the features that you want are there in apex dude.. Just try it out..
Icon packs I'm not very sure but definitely sure about the other features

I've used both Apex and Nova, and I guess it's just a personal preference as they at least seem to be quite similar. They're both based on the stock launcher in ICS / JB, and basically have the same features. Only differences I noticed were very specific, but feature-wise they're quite similar. You should just try them out.
I prefer Apex though, if you wondered.
Is there a way to change the shortcuts on the HTC lockscreen. I have looked but cannot seem to find a way
Yes, the lockscreen shortcuts can be changed. The lockscreen shortcuts are the same icons that are in the HTC Sense dock. Change the icons in the Sense dock, then the icons on the lock screen will change.

^^^^^ This ^^^^^
Thanks Matt. That's rather annoying... only four total? Would be nice to be able to put a few more on that screen...
possible to do this without sense launcher?
So I flashed the UKB rom and I only have nova launcher, I'm assuming the config for the shorts cuts is sitting in some file somewhere? Can I still change my launch screen shortcuts without the sense launcher or do I have to reflash the rom? Sorry if the answer is posted somewhere, I searched around and didn't find anything for this particular situation.
I remember using this with my inc 2 .

Sounds like that might work I'll give it a try tonight and see. Thanks!
No dice, there's gotta be a configuration somewhere. I'll keep digging, if someone else comes up with another idea let me know, thanks!

I useapex launcher. I imagine its similar to nova. go to your advanced settings in launcher. and switch to sense as default launcher. change icons, switch back to your launcher.
Ya I tried that but I only have nova launcher as an option, thanks though!
i see. you must have removed sense through aroma.
dirty flash the rom, and don't de-sense.
then you can change your shortcut icons in sense and switch back to your 3rd party launcher.
Ya that's the process I was saving for a last resort, thanks!

You nailed It lol
-I Dial It-
still unable to change lock screen shortcuts
So I just clean flashed ukb 1.1, this time I left Rosie installed. I've tried changing my shortcuts in the dock multiple times and it still has no effect on the lock screen short cuts.
Are you changing them on Rosie or on Nova?
I'm changing them on Rosie
In Gingerbread, I could click menu button at my home screen and choose "Edit" and all my desktop screen will minimize and I can add screen or remove screen (including all widgets and shortcuts) just by dragging the screen to the bottom where it says Remove.
I could not find any way to do this in ICS?

You had probably a custom gingerbread launcher and not the default aosp launcher. The aosp launcher doesn't support additional screens, 5 is the maximum.
If you like the aosp look and feel, try a custom launcher like apex or nova, both come with the multiple home screens 5<.
A third party launcher would allow you to do this. The default launcher provided with your phone may not allow you to add more screens
Examples of launchers include ADW launcher, Go launcher, Nova launcher, Apex etc

You misunderstood my question, it was the stock (Gingerbread) Samsung launcher and the max screens is 7.
But that's not my question.
I want to know how to remove desktop screens in Ice Cream Sandwich, I can't see any way to edit them.
Please let me re-phrase my question! sorry if I wasn't clear....
I don't need more desktop screens, I just want to know how to edit the screens in Ice Cream Sandwich, so I can remove blank screens which I don't use.
