I would have much rather asked this in the ViperDNA thread, but I cannot post there, being a new XDA user.
I really like ViperDNA, however I want to reduce the number of home screens on the desktop.
(I know, you actually only have one home screen.. There's just no better way to say it..)
Please let me know if you know the AOSP Launcher name/version that ViperDNA uses, or how to reduce the number of Home screens,
I played with it for a couple hours and I couldn't figure it out anyway, I used the XDA search and google as well, never finding any real info on it.
Thanks for the help!

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

Hey guys,
I was playing around with the phone last week, downloading some icons for launcher pro and such, trying to get rid of the HTC lockscreen which I hate.. for some reason launcher Pro would not launch anymore and doesn't show in the app drawer. When I use home switcher, it activates it, but setting it to defaults results in crashes.
I got annoyed looking to see if cyanogen is already working with the 3d evo, and while I see their site says they do, I can't see the files...? I rooted my HTC Hero in the past, and even though I don't remember the full process, I was very happy at the end. I want to do that the same for this phone.
Ok, so here comes my general questions:
* cyanogen - is there a stable one for the 3D evo, or not yet?
* Launcher Pro - is anyone familiar with this issue, and will rooting the phone help?
* Minimalism - I want to change the looks of icons on my phone (not just the launcher shortcuts, but the actual icon in the drawer). I saw some app for that somewhere but I can't remember what it is.. anyone? Also, if possible, I would like to change the looks of the widgets.. again, read somewhere it's possible, but how complicated / time consuming is it?
* lockscreen - don't want it, I hate that freakin' ring, I just want a lock pattern or code. What can I do about it, and if I root my phone, does it go away?
Roms - besides cyanogen, which I liked a lot on my old phone, are there new Roms (especially ones with a minimal feel to them) that are stable and good? I really don't need anything car related (I live in the city) or sports related. I know this is getting very specific, but assuming there are others like me out there, what do you use? I'm just looking for a direction with these last remarks.
Ok, as always, thanks a lot!

Moving to Q&A
CM7 is still in alpha for the Evo 3D, 4G and 3D don't work, but development is still ongoing...
personally, even though I was a CM7 user when I had the Evo 4G, I gave MIUI a chance on the 3D, and I'm extremely happy, and the ROM is incredibly customizable (themes, lockscreens, fonts and icons are all easily switchable, and you can mix and match elements from different themes from within the ROM).
granted, there's no 4G or 3D on MIUI either, so if you want to use these features, your only option right now is a Sense ROM.
I'd like to start off by saying these are just things I have noticed and am wondering if they are being worked on or if there is nothing to do about it. I'm not trying to complain but I cannot post in the Dev forum yet so I'm posting here trying to figure out the answers.
1. Is there any way to take advantage of more screen? there is a good 1/4 inch of space at the top and bottom of the screen that you cannot use. The only reason I can think of that there would be so much space is because of the remove button on the top when you drag widgets.
2. Google Talk does not work for me by any means. If I try and log in it says I'm offline and when I click on my user name it says that it had a problem and force closes. Anyone else experiencing this?
3. How hard would it be to add virtual looping to the home screens? that is by far my favorite feature of Launcher Pro along with transition animations.
4. When will the dock and icons preferences be fixed?
5. What is the issue with the camera? Is it just the 3D? or is it because the EVO is supporting 3D the drivers are weird to handle?
I'll probably have more questions so I'll update later. I have searched the Joelz ICS thread for these answers and didn't come up with anything. I hope someone could help me with at least most of these questions. I understand programming but I'm not an android developer so keep that in mind. Thanks in advanced

1. I don't get what you're saying by that. In the launcher preferences you can disable the persistent Google search widget so that will open up a tiny bit of space but let's be honest... it doesn't make that much of a difference.
2. Google Talk doesn't work. I'm pretty sure Joel just added it in with further plans for it.
3. The launcher being used is CM's CM9 launcher, Trebuchet, and they have stated that it's in their plans to add in endless scrolling.
4. Again, this is up to CM for when they finish up the first release of the launcher since it's v0.1 alpha right now. Couple of releases off of being added in, and god knows how long til it's 100% functional. CM is generally quick.
5. It'll be just like the long haul that was getting camera to work on 2.3.x when that was the newest that we had. The camera has extremely odd drivers and it is much easier to fix/re-write for a single camera than two, of which 3D is it's purpose... I think we will have to wait on CM to fix up the camera drivers for ICS before we see any real progress in that department. I'd say camera is a long way off. :l
Hope that helps you to some degree!

That did help a lot thanks. For the first question yeah you can disable the persistent search bar but it doesn't seem like you gain that space back. Its just empty space then. Can't even resize widgets to go all the way to the top. I would say I lose almost an inch of screen space which is significant to me at least. I like my clock widget to be at the very top but on my phone it looks like its in the middle.
for question 5. So your saying even non 3D will be a while for the ICS ROMs?
Thank you for your help I really appreciate it
You can try another launcher. Go launcher works pretty good with Joelz ics rom.
And yeah, you don't get any space back when removing the search bar. That's there for the buttonless phones.

Yeah I feel like running a different launcher kind of takes away from ICS. I am hoping to keep it as my default launcher. but if no development is made I'll probably go to Launcher Pro
So I am in the process of screwing around with things on my CM7'd NC and was hit with something.
The lock screen, is atrocious. It works. It does it's job but it's fugly.
Now me being me, and that means poor I started looking around for various lockscreens on the Google Play and TBH none of them do what I want.
I really, really liked the lockscreen in CM9 and the fact that I could attach my own custom little message to it.
Is there anything like that for CM7? I'd still be on CM9 if HW video acceleration got going on it.
Thanks in advance.
I really wish there was a mod of some sort for this. im searching and have not found one yet. Im keeping up my search and ill let you know if I can find something! Sorry I couldnt help.
Try widget locker from the play market.
Also check out Magic Locker.
late,
Coz
I already looked at those. I was hoping for something with landscape support. I am also working on a Metro UI Project and I could really use a metro style lockscreen.
Have you seen Ripple Lock? It's not the best, but the closest I have seen to cm9 than anything else. I can't post links, but it's in the Play Store.
Yeah I have used that in the past and have given up on anything else for now because I am very busy.
If anyone is still looking for a good app for this, widgetlocker is the way to go. Its got as much customization as anyone could ever ask for, and landscape and portrait support, etc. Its got everything.

I know some folks have modded it to be 4x5 instead of 4x4, but one thing I hate is that so much screen space is wasted.
Because of that I run Apex Launcher, and have the grid set to 10x7 and the DPI is dropped to 250.
I just can't stand how so much screen space is wasted on these big phones.
Is this something that can be done?
I currently run Beans14.
I tried finding a guide or just some sort of explanation on how to mod the TW launcher too and never could find one, I believe I even asked in one of the other forums that was dedicated to modifying apps. I how that maybe youll get lucky with this post and someone will drop in and give us some info on how to do it.
I could never find out any info on how to mod the TW launcher though.....
If someone would post a little how to with a brief explanation on what needs to be changed I would gladly mod it for people, I just need to know how.
Also, would you mind posting some screenshots of your 10x7 setup please? I would love to see how it looks.
