Is it possible to save TWiz launcher screens (other than saving via nandroid)
My first screen was perfect tgen I went to a new rom and started all over again.
I have read it "could " be dine via tibu but I have looked in every crevis of that app and nothing I cant seem to find how or where I ciuld via tibu
Thanks

Depends how you made the screen. If you used like uccw and stuff, just make a tb and restore the apps plus data.

Yes, use tb.
Each time you want a new theme, use a new tb
I have like 3 or 4 themes I switch back and forth between this way.

if you dont know what UCCW is then it doesnt matter. but TB means titanium backup.its an app that serves many purposes, one of which is different types of backups.

I have always liked using go launcher but I recently started using sense instead. I love the weather lock screen. The only problem I am having is that I don't know anyway to save my configuration. So if I change ROM's I have to reconfigure all of my screens the way I like them. Is there a way to back up the way I have sense set up? If anyone knows how to do that I would be so excited to learn. Thanks for any help.

Just do a full nandroid backup with ROM Manager... It will save everything and you can revert right back to where you were... Restore it after playing with ROMS
I use Titanium Backup, and it will back up your Sense homescreen settings (widget/icon layouts and such) under "[WALLPAPER/SETTINGS] Settings 2.2.1." TB is an EXTREMELY helpful app, especially if you plan on doing a lot of flashing. It will let you easily backup and restore all apps, app data, messages, settings, and all of that other fun stuff. Definitely worth the $5 for Pro.
My backuppro works well for what you are describing.
Thanks. I have TB pro. I just didn't realize that it would save my screen configuration like that. Thanks for the help.

No prob!
Ok guys, this has got to stop.
Based upon my experience thus far, there doesn't seem to be an app (Titanium included) that will back up your widgets and restore them perfectly to your homescreens after a new rom flash.
Nandroid can do this because it basically just images your whole system, but of course, restoring a nandroid sort of negates the benefits of a new rom flash.
So, if Nandroid can do it, why can't someone write an app that creates an index of all widgets and restores them - sort of a "baby nandroid" that just does widgets? It HAS GOT to be doable and I'm sure it would sell like hotcakes.
Let's go geniuses - make this!
**UPDATE: My bad, I should have specified NON-SENSE widgets that won't restore.
This would be awesome if it can be done.

Titanium can restore sense widgets if you backup HTC desktop and restore data only. This will also place your app icons as you had them. You're only out of luck with non sense widgets. Not perfect, but still a good time saver.
Op.... He's on his way you know.

If you're using Sense launcher, you've been able to save your layout since the Evo 4G. It's called a Scene. Hit menu -> Scene and save it. Then just backup/restore Sense data with Titanium.

Did u try MyBackup Pro and check System and Home Settings?

I dont know about you but my Titanium Backup restores all my widgets and the data as well. I just have to place them back in their respectful spot. All of 5 mins and im ready to go after flashing a rom.
My backup pro does it flawlessly.

Does it do batch install without all the ok's? Its really annoying..
Also..for miui users.. is there a way to backup/restore screen layouts with the widgets?

Yes. Don't think it can restore widgets though.
You can save screen layouts in 3rd party launchers (ie GoLauncher, LPP, etc)

You have to buy the paid version.
When everyone runs a 3rd party launcher, what is done with TW?
For me I removed all the homescreens except for 1 which is mandatory and even on that one I removed all icons and widgets. After that I set apex to be the default launcher and so far have never looked back. After a few days, I noticed TW was an item in the "all" applications list that could be disabled. I did just that and now after a few days of soak, I have seen no adverse affect.
Thoughts?

From what I can see if disabled in the all applications list it shows up as frozen in TiBu.

Hey guys. Just thought I'd see what everyone uses their multi app Windows for. I think it's a great idea but I can never think of 2 apps I'd use at the same time.
I turned mine off because i dont like the tab thats on the side of the phone. Texting and browsing is one good use for it. Easy to copy and paste links between the two. Although its pretty easy to swap between the two using the home key too.

I usually use mines for copying information into a notepad / memo.
YouTube and a browser bc YT stops when its in the background and with a mod'd YouTube apk, I can listen with the screen turned off
I haven't used it once, the phone switches windows so fast

Student GMail -> calendar. I get notified of school meetings and stuff all the time. Multiwindow makes it very easy to copy over the information into my Google calendar.
But that's really my only use for it. It is nice for this purpose, but I could live without.
Copying links/addresses or other information to a text is a good use, as is from any app to a note taking app.

On TW if you hold the back softkey button while multi-window is enabled it hides the bar until you want it again. Simply hold the back button once more for it to show. =)

Custom ROM that enables multiwindow for all apps or root with multiwindow manager.

i usually use it when balancing accts. i like reconciling manually since i always seem to get double entries doing it "automatically". ff up top and anmoney at the bottom. works better with a tablet though.

I have to agree, aside from the cool factor of actually being able to do it, I have not found a practical use for it.
I use it when copy/pasting login credentials from LastPass.

Cool thanks guys
I have used it a couple of times to text while I watch a movie or video.
Before I had the phone, I thought I would use the multi-window a lot and was excited about it.
Tried using it a few times and it just wasn't clicking for me.
I think if I could incorporate my apps with it or if it were more intuitive, maybe I would use it. I don't know.
As of now I have it disabled.
I would like a better app switcher, though. Something like Zephyr for the jailbroken iphone.
