Hello, just made an app that allow users to toggle your favourite Home.
I just create a shortcut to the Home you want., just have a look at this Video, maybe that will be easier to understand:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMpONctP2F8
I found that Home switcher need such a feature, I contacted the dev, but doesn't want to work on something like that, so I did it myself!
Remarks:
* Cyrket description here
* Use the longpress on homescreen and create a shurtcut? If you launch the main app, the shortcuts will be created on ALL your Home! so you will need to delete some ;-)
Just tell me if you find that usefull or not!

1.1: Now use the longpress on homescreen to add a shortcut. Will not be repeated on every Launcher like the main app.
1.01: major bug corrected with HTC Sense
1.0: First release
First post edited, the app is now in the Android Market. All seem to work fine.
Does it make the different homes default or is it just to switch between them?

Just a switcher. nothing special and revolutionnary.
Just wanted to share the app that I made for a friend. some people really like it and use it.
I don't have a really need for this app myself, but the few friends friends that try it really loved it.
May i ask where that background image is from? its stunning
Whats the background you have in that video??
Last version in the ANdroid Market allow you to use the longpress on Homescreen to add shortcut only to your favorite home.
Can now be used with launcherPro dock.
Just made an update.
I am very excited for some features, because I am making something like the Sense Desktop.
This allow you to create different Homescreens with different wallpapers and icons.
Please send me feedback!
What's New?
You can now rename the Shortcut. ( and also changing icon in future donate version)
You can now change wallpapers for each Home
I hope this feature will allow people to create Theme like Sense ( one for work, for games, etc...
Possibility to make it the default home when you use a shortcut.
Unfortunately this will break the behavior of the Home button in home ( Expose on LauncherPro or getting back to default homescreen)
Hope you will love it.
Ouch... just fixed a bug that was very annoying!
If you choose EasyHome as default without setting a Home, the app crashed.
Now fixed!
Can somebody help me please, people in comment report crashes, but I've got no problem on all my phones.

I tried to modify HTC Home, because it is IMHO to big. I only need the Home Tab so i wondered if it might be possible that the tab selection is not being displayed to save some Space (in the pic is shown what i want to be displayed).
The greatest thing at all would be if only the Files needed for the Home Tab would be installed. But that is not necessary at all, because i would be able to figure that out by myselfe and create that cab file.

Maybe someone knows an other application, that is able to display that i desire. Or a SMS, Email, and Call Notification as plugin for Pocket Plus as Icons that can be plased free into the Tabs.
I'm looking forward for your help
Greets so far.
rltoday has a skin that will do what you want. Free program that works very well.
rltoday still have bugs, It can not work properly in my hima I have given feedback to the creator
It would be much nicer if the area you want to disappear could appear and disappear by selecting the tabs. That means when you click onces on the Home tab the clock display appears when you click it again it will disappear. And that way for all Tabs of HTC Home, that would be a great development for the HTC HOME.
Why not use HTC Home Custom 1.0 beta5? (HHC 1.0 beta5?)

Why? Cause what he wants to do is not possible with Home Customizer.
AFAIK it is not possible at all yet.
I would really like it if it was possible. Ideally with the custom if there's only 1 tab used the tab bar should disappear... It would be perfect
If rlToday doesn't bug for you, you really should give it a try.
I've been using it in place of HTC Home for weeks now, and never looked back.
It looks better, smaller, more customizable... simply awesome
Should check out the skins made by a person known as FOXCAT:
http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=762#p762
Thnx for your help so far.
RLtody seems to be a nice tool with great capabilities. Unfortunatly the HTC Theme doesnt work for me. It gives me odd graphics, but i havnt had the time yet to change the skin.xml for my needs.
But I'm shure i'll get what i want from this app. Indeed i'll get more i've ever hoped when starting the thread (A today plugin, exacly like i want it and fully customizable).
@PAPPL
It isn't possible to do what i want with any customize tool for HTC Home, because all that they are capable of is changing the reg keys in HKLM\Software\HTC\HTC Home and replace the Images. For both i dont need any tool at all. But there isnt any reg key (at least i found none) that is responsible for the task i want. Nor did i find the place of the prog, where the graphics are defined. I think the only way to find that out is to get a hand onto the sourcecode. But i dont know anything at all of reverse compilation.
Maybe someone knows an other application, that is able to display that i desire. Or a SMS, Email, and Call Notification as plugin for Pocket Plus as Icons that can be plased free into the Tabs.

Not too sure what you are looking for here, but you might give HTCPlus! a try. I find it a bit smaller and does what I am looking for.
I like parts of the HTC Home Screen but there are portions of SPB Mobile Shell that I like better.
I would like to combine the two like the following screenshot.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have gotten so I can put the SPB Mobile Shell plugin at the bottom (see screenshot below) but I can't figure out if it is possible to remove part of the HTC Homescreen Plugin.
Does anyone know if this is possible OR if their are plugins that will mimic the Clock and the Notification bar? If it will take a lot of work I wouldn't mind donating hosting or funds.
mot possilbe. at present there's no way to change the size of text or the items that are part of it, that's hardcoded into the dlls. Only thing that cn change is the fonts and icons
Now, you could taken it down to one tab by using either HTC Home Customizer or the newer versions of it add a nother tab in settings > today control panel. So you can take it down to the HOME tab only, that will leave you with what you want (but the House icon is still there, that's the best I can do...)
Don't know where to tell you to look but its here somewhere can't remember where I got it. I use HTC Plus instead of the Home Plug here it is with MobileShell
well then is it possible to create a custom today plugin like HTC Home?
you may want to check out rlToday, there are some really great skins for it. there are even some HTCHome inspired ones; just check out the rlToday forums.

Thanks - this is very useful!
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, or if it's been asked before [if it has I haven't found it!], but I was wondering if there was a way I could add either more columns or more rows to my applications screen? Is there an app that can do this for me?
Thanks in advance.

Try http://www.appbrain.com/app/launcherpro/com.fede.launcher
I installed it and the program doesn't actually come up in my Applications, am I doing something wrong? I got it from the Market.
Install home switcher too then. Run that program and then choose to run launcherpro. Its a different home. Meaning you will have to configure everything on your home screen from new on. But just try it . Your old home will be still there and with the home switcher you can choose wha tyou want to run. Oh and to configure it press in the home menu button and then preferences and play with it a little.
Launcherpro will not appear in the applications list. Use the Home button and hold it until you get a pop-up menu where you can select between sence and lanucherpro.

Thanks for the swift reply - before I actually read them I was fiddling about and figured out what I need to have done, thank you both. However I was looking for something with a more stock look per-se, with the option to actually being able to add more columns and rows into the Application Drawer, not the live Home screen.
Not sure if I'm making any sense? Sorry, I'm fairly new at all this!

Yes you can have 5 columns in the app drawer with this , and what stock look are you referring to?

What I'm trying to achieve is to have more icons down on the dock [in that applications view and the live home screen], and to add another column so there's not 4 but 5...
Thanks for the fast reply!
Hehe that I understood and you can do it with launcher pro 5 columns in app drawer and it can have even an 3D effect .
I mean the stock look , you mean the touchwiz look or vanilla look?
Which ever came with the phone - don't know the name sorry!
Is there any possibility to organize apps into folders in the menu and not only on the homescrees? Having 300+ apps can really be a pain in the ass when searching for a particular one, not to mention it would be great to have apps organized by type, e.g., games, system, social.
Dunno what adw launcher does , but there are apps on the market who can help you with organizing. I never did cuz it never made any sense to me. Too much work and I wont use it anyway. Boss was very proud of his organization of the apps and it took him always longer to find the app he needed in the folders....
So check out http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=organize+apps
I hate the icons that motoblur uses for the stock apps on the phone (camera, dialer, browser, etc.). I have been searching all over for a solution but cant find anything. I'm using Launcher Pro Plus and want to know how I can change the icons that show up in the app drawer to the stock Froyo icons. Thanks!
you can probably download a theme icon pack for lp+
at least on adw that's what i can do..
Go Launcher let u change it with ease

root your phone, download ninjamorph, load up blur-res.apk, find ic_launcher_(app you want to replace).png from an AOSP rom and use it to replace the one in blur-res.apk in ninjamorph. finish project. done.

it's real simple. find some icons you like and place them on your sdcard. On your homescreen (if you are using Launcher Pro), long press a blank area, and choose "Shortcuts". then, at the top of that screen, choose "Applications". Once you find your application (say Maps), then click the old icon above the app name and you can browser your gallery app for a replacement icon. click the icon you want to use as a replacement then click ok. now you have a different icon for that app on your homescreen. This is the easiest way to do it without editing your framework-res files, etc. NOTE: this only changes the icon on the homescreen, it will still be the original icon in the app drawer. It takes a bit of time to do this, but well worth it IMO.
EDIT: I just re-read your OP, this won't change the icon in the app drawer, only the homescreen... [/facepalm]

Hey, all.
I've only been messing around with zooper for a week or so, and it is still absolutely phenonemal. I love it. Here, I will share some widgets that I've created in my own free time. Check back here every once in a while, I may add new ones.

suppose you could use this for your home screen if you want to.

Sweet, question, is it possible to replace the crosshair in the 'where am i'-thingy with a picture or shape, so that I could use a pin like in G-maps f.e.?

I don't know exactly how to to do it, but you might be able to get it to work by removing the 2 progress bars that form the crosshairs, then adding in a bitmap of your choice, and meddling with the x/y offsets in advanced parameters to have its position based on #LLAT# and #LLONG#. Hope this helps.
Thomas
Thnx for the great work! Love the widgets you made!

I alternate between nova and action launcher. I think the sweet spot for grid size on the nexus 10 is 7x9.
