I've seen this in the Photon and maybe a tablet or two (Asus I think). It seems to add a touch of class. Even the Palm Pre had a animated rotation when it changed between portrait and landscape.
Can this be added to a theme or even just adding to system files somehow?

Have your ever used a iOS device? If so think if the transition effect. Hard to explain it. I will tell you it looks much smoother and refined instead of the screen just switching to the proper direction

I know what you mean and there used to be an option in earlier versions of Android for a rotate animation. It wasn't very nice visually and was very slow but this was when my G1 was new.

Yes there is open your stock web browser and type about:debug in the address bar. Then go to settings and it will be located in all the way near the bottom called smooth rotate. Don't touch any of the other settings though.

Take a look at this vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9ria1jwoOY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Just before halfway through you can see it rotate as it changes orientation. Just a smooth transition whereas the htc phones are kind of an instant switch.
Thanks tuscani, so the stock browser is the only place? I'll check this out. It'd be cool if it happened everywhere like moto (can't believe I'm saying moto is cool in any way)

That did nothing for me. about:debug didn't bring up anything.

After you type it in the address bar, hit menu, more, and then settings. It will be added as an option towards the bottom of the settings page. I tried a few times and it was there. It's definitely cool, too

As far as OS level goes I'd say its not out of the question. I mean now that we have roms coming out faster than we can flash em I'd say its a matter of time.

I am trying to create a homescreen shortcut to the cm updater on stock cm10 trebuchet and failing miserably. Diss anybody have any ideas? Thanks.
Sent from my Apple IIe
I think in stock trebuchet u have to go into the app drawer and go to widgets and even though it's not a widget, u drag that to the home screen and it'll show up as a shortcut. Could be wrong though it's been a while since I've used it.
If the cm updater is an app then just hold it in the app drawer then drop it

I was trying to tell him that in trebuchet the shortcuts are under the widgets tab. If u go to widgets tab and drag the settings shortcut "widget" to your home screen it then gives u an option to choose where u want the shortcut to go. And then it's there. He may not have fully understood me.

I recommend delta updater. It only downloads a 50mb file but the flash is still good. It seems to replace files only. You could also add a shortcut with this as it is an app.

This is a very glaring omission that I hope they fix at some point. I have become accustomed to using elixir 2 shortcut widgets as opposed to a full blown widget to preserve battery life. Only using CPU time when clicking the shortcut to see my 7x3 widget. It is almost a deal breaker for me honestly.
Not sure why long pressing on the home screen brings up the wallpaper select menu anyway. Much more user friendly as well as useful to use the default Android action of long pressing allowing you to select what to add, including shortcuts. I add things way more often than I change a wallpaper, as I would think most others would to.
Edit: I figured out how to make the Elixir shortcut widgets work but still problems with all the other ones as the OP has said. I still think the home screen long press should be different, anything is better than changing wallpaper but would prefer the old implementation of bringing up what to add to the home.

I don't mean to sound like a prick. But they do all of this for free for us. Yes it would be nice to have different options, but that's why there is a play store with tons of different launchers available. To call it a glaring omission, is.... Kind of like asking for more when they've already given us a lot. Maybe in time they'll add what yer asking for. But we really do owe them a lot of thanks, so let's just be happy with what we've got. Like I said, not trying to be a prick. Just saying.

I do appreciate what they do and really love the CM mods. Have been using them since the first one that came to the OG Evo. I understand that they are doing this for free and for that I do greatly appreciate it. I didn't mean for it to come off as demanding or that they owed us anything. I admit I could have worded it much better, but I honestly meant it as a request for something I feel should be added at some point. It is a small addition(I don't mean small to code, as I have no idea how much work it would take) that would add a lot in return in respect to intuitiveness.
I also understand that these are beta's(alpha's even possibly?) and not all features are yet integrated in or been tested. Take this as a humble request for the shortcuts to be changed/fixed at some point before going final. Request also for the long press on homescreen action to be changed to something more used, such as the default menu for adding apps/shortcuts/widgets for the screen.
Yeah, I didn't want to start anything. I was just wondering if I was overlooking anything simple. Cyanogenmod all the things!

Change whatever gesture you want to "Show previews"
I'm using the paid version though, but seems like its something that would be in the free?

There are more features you get for that $4, plus you're supporting the developer(s).
No doubt that the Nova Prime is worth every penny. There's also the swipe down gesture that I use to expand the notification bar which makes it easier for me to operate the phone with one hand. I'm sold on the gestures alone...Especially when the SPB Shell 3D Launcher is priced at $14.95 for tons of "features".

Hi, not sure if this is the correct place to post, the Themes and Apps forum seems to be more for promoting developer apps and the like.
So, I am having an issues with Nova Launcher; I made a picture - http://imgur.com/w7eFSac
What am I looking for is to be able to slide the entire app grid down to reduce the empty space on the bottom and increase it at the top. It is NOT an issue with my icon pack, it is the same with default icons. I have messed around with the settings a lot - there is an option to increase/decrease spacing above and below as a unit, but not separately. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I always use Nova as well and unless someone comes up with a specific mod for Nova I don't think its possible. I could be wrong but like you already know the only options for the margins affect all aspects of the margins ( top , bottom, left, right )
Maybe look into another launcher?

That's what I'm leaning toward. To be honest I am surprised this isn't more of an issue with people... the margin balance at the top and bottom is terrible. The icons are almost touching the status bar at the top and there's probably 4-5mm of space at the bottom.
Any recommendations on another launcher?

You know the only other one I found to be comparable to Nova was Apex. Plus you can still use all the same icons pretty much. There are quite a few launchers out now though so hopefully you find one ya like.

Can't you remove the homescreen page indicator in the dock settings? That might bring the app icons down a bit. I use TSF Shell, it's freeing to not be confined to a grid like all of the other launchers.

Along with some of the separately downloaded TSF widgets. It takes awhile getting used to, like you can tell they changed the way they handle certain launcher tasks just to differentiate themselves, but it has some cool concepts. Only downside is that $17 it costs lol

Thanks man .. actually it's showing me that it's something like $11 and change. Maybe that's why I never took the TSF plunge but if your recommending it maybe I'll check it out.

I got it I think back on my GNex so it was $17 back then... same price as Next launcher is or used to be... but they had a free trial option to test it out. It's up to you how much $11 is worth lol I really like the launcher though.
So after owning g2 on att..we had same issue. Please disregard if its been posted. If you didn't know already here you go. This does not require root.
1. Go to the market. Download Launcher Pro
2. Don't open it. We're using it for a huge benefit it's always left a back door open for us devs..
3. Press on empty home screen to bring up widgets.
4. Scroll to find the activities in form of launcher pro icon
5. Press on It once It will bring up a huge hidden menu..
6. Scroll down to Home
7. Press home and scroll down to hidden menu themes provider (or the first hidden menu themes etc you see)
8. Press it once.
If you did this in the correct order it will bring a nice sweet blue icon on your home screen ..you can put it in a folder but keep it. Press on it to now have your theme picker.
9. Google LG world apk..download It and now enjoy your themes etc..
I hope this made you smile.
Peace.

Lg has themes available similar to like what Miui has but nowhere near as good. Most are pretty lame actually... probably why they dropped them from US varients, but there's a work around.
This topic should have probably been placed in the Themes and Apps forum, but here is some more detailed info on the subject.

I also add this is for version of sprint that does have the theme apk or home themes hidden. I don't know why. But this does not require root and is for stock Rom. Or out of box fix. Yes it can be moved to themes and apps if mods feel I've posted in error. Again just trying to help keep this sprint version level with the experience of the rest. The stock themes do suck. But the option is also great to have. Peace. And thank you all for your help.
