I have rooted and updated my G-tab to 2.3 Of course this wiped out the original Tap n Tap interface. I understand that everyone thinks the original tap n tap interface was garbage and the G-tab was locked out of being the free device that all android machines should be. However, in the few hours I had that interface, I was impressed by the homescreen having clock, weather and news blurbs all on the home screen. I have tried since then to essentially perform the same thing with other apps but I'm just not getting it. Can someone tell me how to get a similar or better homescreen set up?
Thanks in advance for any tips... I am willing to pay/donate for something similar (or even use the original on top of this ROM). I am using Beautiful Corners. I also have ADW Launcher.
There are plenty of weather, news and clock widgets available for free in the marketplace. Lots of live wallpapers as well.
TapnTap home screen is nice...but unfortunately too slow.
To have it in your current rom copy launcher.apk and home.apk (or something similar) to system/apps
I only tested it ony Calkulin & Clemsyn rom, so I guess it could work also on Brilliant Corners.

Thanks for your input...but
You can't be serious?! Do you really think someone competent enough to root and flash their tablet without bricking it would be incompetent enough to not know that there are "thousands of apps" out there?
I know they are there - but I can't find the ones that will sit next to each other on the homescreen and do what the original homescreen under Tap n Tap did. If i am being totally ignorant of something easy - then mea culpa... but I haven't seen any screenshots of anybody's homescreen doing this either.... only the Tap n Tap...
How about this one:

1. You can use AppZorter from the market to do this.
2. If you're talking about choosing edit and then pressing the little minus sign then you should know that this actually uninstalls the application. A powerful but dangerous little shortcut at times

Just another clue for you:
Check Nemus Launcher app from the Market.
It is free and "replaces" the TouchWiz launcher with some nice features. It has an awesome folder structure for your homescreens.
I certainly will.... I wasn't going to get a galaxy I was all set on the sensation xe, I did miss sense initially but starting to really like the samsung, it's really growing on me
The first day with a new phone is always an interesting one, my boss HATES it though lol ( not the phone, but that i'm completely distracted lol )

Hey guys, I've done some modding on my prime to bump up the UI visuals a little
I think it really suits the clean look!
You can see it in action here in the first half of this video!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBTqYvJVHCA
How is this the clean look? Lol you got icons all over the place top n bottom of screen filled up. Looks cool but too much like a win mo clone. I'm not a fan of big lettering detailing what screen you on or whatever. This just looks like different launcher or something as I've seen others in the "Post your homescreens" thread in themes n app section just like yours. Why so many icons in top and bottom bar at once?
I like it.
Points taken

Lol yea, I guess you have to ignore those icons at the very top, they're from adw launcher and I can't seem to shake them well MAYBE clean isn't the right word, but everyone that I show it to LOVES it!
PS the shots with more than one picture are transition screens (kind of like switching cards)

Overall it looks good. A different look for sure. So you put this together yourself taking pieces out of adw launcher? Or is this just the launcher itself with one of the many different themes it has?

How does mulitilive behave on your prime? I looked at it in marketplace and its getting slammed because it doesn't support ICS yet. Alot of users with ICS experiencing issues with it. Ill try it out once it updates to truly support ICS. Does it drain the battery from constantly switching backgrounds or can you make them static and just have one pic for each homeacreen?

I just watched it after seeing this post. Gave it a thumbs up. Dang, that does look really cool theway you set it up. Moves very fast also. I have adw ex launcher also. Got it a while back on the 10 cent app sale. Haven't really used it on my prime yet. I might try setting something up with it now after seeing that video.
Are scrollable widgets already working with adw.ex on ICS? Ditched it because of lack of scrollable widgets (but see it hasn't been updated since december 7th so guess not).

That's a good point it's hit and miss. Colorize widgets DO scroll but Gmail does not. So i have no idea why that is. Hopefully a fix comes soon.

Cheers for the response. Mail, agenda, bookmarks and those kinds of things weren't working for me and appearantly I am a fan of scrollable widgets hehe. Guess I'll stay away from it for now.
Must say I'm pretty satisfied with the stock launcher atm as well though!
This is a seriously biased video. Just look at the pinch-zoom part of the video (around 2 minute mark) and you'll see that Android lags in full screen animations. Sure the framerate does not drop, but responsiveness to user input is lagging as opposed to iPad 2.
I love my Android devices, but that video is just badly biased.

Looks good! I did a similar thing with my Nook Color, looks cool and works great. I used Minimalist Text instead of Simpletext.
I guess I have to try it on my TP now!
Ok so initially just looking at the screen grabs my initial reaction was meh. After watching the video I actually quite like it. I don't know if its my cup of tea just to have an entire pane exclusively for facebook feeds or the weather, but the interface works and it looks really good. Get rid of the icons at the top and it would be beautiful. Overall, good job, thumbs up.
Nice and clean! I like it. I could not multilive wallpaper in the market. I could see multipicture live wallpaper. Is that the same?

Yup...Mulitipicture live wallpaper is what worked for me.
Hi everyone, i'd just like to share this little custom UI tutorial using ADW EX, Multipicture live wallpaper and simple text. I had just had a lot of questions on how I had set up my simple text icons and how I did my UI in general, so i'm going to show you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kptguUktJA
Cheers!
A step by step tutorial would be great. At least to get the full effect. Your setup is definitely pretty nice.
Yeahhhh , agree with that!!! , You do it like a very general way , It would be great if you could backup your adw ex settings , and tell us which animations transitions you use and detalis like that.
I saw the video , but my tablet is far way from look like yours
sorry 4 my english

Which widgets do you use for the Calendar and Music?
Very nice, but too complex for me LOL, i've tried few of those "Launchers" but too many options to play with and not easy way to understand them. You gotta have bunch of time to understand all of that.
I uninstalled them all.
That's what i said, a step by step tutorial

I see,
In ADW ex, make sure you have UI settings -->Screen Preferences--> 10 desktop rows and 10 desktop columns and Hide status bar selected
General behaviour ---> Animations and effects: My scrolling speed is 1800, bounce is 9, wallpaper scrolling is enabled
Mulltipicture live wallpaper just has double tap to change picture and show reflection on top/ bottom..
Not much else I can think of, if you get stuck just give us a yell

Any idea where Simple Text stores the buttons it creates? I want to reuse them and not recreate for each page. Thanks!
I have customized ADW to have 10 rows and columns. Now there is long space between icons on home screen. How do I rectify?
Ignore. Icons are working fine.
Is that calendar app Jorte or Jotre? I managed to find Jorte in the market.
If I use "Hide Status Bar" setting, the status bar is still visible. On top of that, if I click on settings, then the menu is partially visible on the screen? Any suggestion?
When I used that Simple Text, I just got an icon on screen, I can't get that text like you got it...
Im having similar errors as the above post. I cant make the adw launcher top bar go away for the life of me. And in the multi live wallpapers it freaks out and freezes the picture when I reach the last page of five and it wraps around to the first one. It doesnt transition there. Any ideas on fixes? I've done each and every setting in the multi wallpaper app for fixing that and none work...
OP, how were you able to use a live wallpaper with the multi livewallpaper app?

Heya,
At this point it's impossible. Multi livewallpaper only works with image files atm
Haven't tried .gifs but there's not much point + that's kind of lame haha.

Actually, I'm thinking what just hasn't been made entirely clear is that the exodus live wallpaper wasn't actually being run as part of the multi live wallpaper. Video editing just gave the impression that the live wallpaper spontaneously appeared.

Hi all, this is my first post on here (ever) so go easy!
After owning 3x Mate 9's (MHA-L09 & L29) over the course of the last year, I decided to treat myself and have just received my shiny new Mocha Brown Mate 10 (ALP-L29), imported to the UK from Singapore.
I've noticed one or two "teething" issues however, most niggling being the size of the icons/home screen grid and notifications on the pull down menu, they're all huge!
I have view mode and text size set to "small" in display settings though it doesn't help.
I think, could be wrong, that EMUI 5.0 on the Mate 9 had a "smallest" setting?
Anyway, I was able to shrink the icons, widgets etc to a much smaller size.
Can anyone help with this or am I going to have to hope (and pray) for a software update that addresses this?
It's such a big, beautiful display and is a shame filling it with giant icons....
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks.
When both view mode is set to small on mate 9 and Mate 10, yes the mate 9 icons are slightly smaller.

I thought so, must be a coming fix for this?
Just feels like the fantastic screen real estate is wasted.
There should really be a 6x6 grid option built in to stock Emui don't you think?
I know Nova can provide it, but really want to stay stock for now with phone being so new!
(I may even be first in UK with it, not sure!)

Especially relating to launcher scale?
I've also noticed another issue where I can't delete Gmail emails from the notification shade.

With the last nova update, no crash anymore dude
I tried to persist with the stock launcher but it got the best of me. It just lacks so many features.
I've used alot of launchers but obviously Nova is a good starting point ( it didn't crash for me) and also evie is another one. My every day launcher is action launcher and it is excellent on the mate 10. Launchers come down to personal preference but in my opinion there are plenty out there that are better than the stock one.
Also pixel 2 launcher apk on this great forums is very good and smooth

Same here. BLA-029 .119(C636). Latest version of Nova launcher. Can anyone confirm if they are NOT having this problem? Thanks all.
Same problem here. Seems like view mode doesn't affect the size of the icons on the home screen and the size of the notification toggles. I've had the phone for 2 hours and its been bugging me ever since. I hope someone can fix this. I really hate my icons looking so big.
For smaller icons in stock launcher you have to find an icon pack with smaller icons size. I did it in app Huawei Themes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.deishelon.lab.thememanager You can install new theme from this app which is called "card", and then apply icons from this theme in the native Huawei's theme app. For me icons from card theme look nicely and are smaller than original ones. Give it a try.
Currently using Pixel Launcher and icons are smaller now but the notification toggles are still huge.
When choosing one of the launchers mentioned in this thread, can you still use the navigation dock?
