[APP] Create shortcuts to Sense/ADW/LauncherPro and other Home on your desktop

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!

Changelog:
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.

​What you need
A Rooted Droid, (i used my A855 with CM7, not sure if others will work)
Launcher Pro Plus (Regular Launcher Pro may work)
Also, there is no framework change, this is just a launcher theme and boot animation
Download The themepack and extract to the Root of your SD card
http://www.multiupload.com/SW5EGWV6VZ
The folder is self-explanatory
Wallpapers can be set from the Home Screen
Dock and Launcher
Go into Launcher Pro's settings via Prefrences button in the home screen
Select Appearance Settings
Select Dock Background
Use custom background
Go into gallery and find atrixdock.png
Go back and Restart LauncherPro
Now you should see the Dock
Because LauncherPro uses 4 Icon Docks we will have to use the following setup
{Phone}{Phone}{Drawer}{Contacts}{Contacts}
So, hold down each icon and set those apps
The icons will look a bit cluttered.
Hold down each icon and set the icon that can be found in the Theme_Atrix folder (the blank icon)
All you should see is the dock.
The dock is set
Boot Animation
Go and get SuperManager from the Market
Go into Settings and "Enable Root Function"
Open the File Explorer
Go up Back up level folder until the titlebar says "/"
Go into system
Choose R/W!!
Go into media
Press and hold bootanimation.zip and choose Delete
Confirm and "Back up level folder" to "/"
Open the Link, "sdcard"
Find the "Theme_Atrix" folder
Hold down and copy "bootanimation.zip"
Paste into /system/media/
Reboot.
If something didnt work, email me([email protected]).
i'm always here and i usually reply within 3 hours
Good Luck!
The dock and blank icon included in Theme_Atrix.zip were made by Tyler Watthanaphand. You are free to Redistribute and Modify.

it works for me thank you

will it work on my milestone running the 2.2 25/2/2011 leack?

same question. does it work for milestone?

It would work as dont see any framework change. Its all based on images being applied thru launcher pro... and a change of the bootanimation.

Is this just a theme for LauncherPro?
Definitely does not look like GingerBlur from the screen shot.
Is it more than Gingerbread with a Blur LP dock?
Thank you

As far as I can tell, this is supposed to be a theme based on the stock Atrix theme. If that's the case, then it shouldn't look anything like gingerblur as that's simply a different rom/theme for the atrix.
Since it is based off the Atrix stock theme, it shouldn't have gingerbread elements as the Atrix only comes with 2.2 for now.

The Dock can be used for GSM Milestone.Right?

Works for me as well, love it.

Works for me too.. thx

I downloaded this yesterday and I revisited the thread just to say thanks, it looks really good and I love how the boot animation says 'dual core' then my phone goes all laggy because of its underpowered processor I hope you make mroe themes like this

[THEME] Go Locker Four Key => Redux2 / Go Launcher Transparency style

Hi all,
Modded the Go Locker Four Key a bit... First time I do this so hopefully you like it and I didn't mess anything up
Background is like the background of the Redux2 notification/multitasking bar (very dark grey), highlight color changed from blue to orange which also goes well with the Go Launcher Transparency Skin for widgets
1) uninstall the Go Locker Four Key if you have it installed
2) install GoLockerRedux.apk
3) Enable "Go Locker Four Key" again
Note: you need to have Go Launcher and Go Locker installed off course.

Awesome! Would it be possible to change the action of the SMS to go to email instead? And the phone go browser? I am on a non-phone device and that would be awesome. Love the theme! Very good work on it.

I'm only a noob at this, so I'm afraid my knowledge doesn't reach that far, sorry
maybe someone else can help out with that...

Ok, thanks. Yours is still the best theme out there. And go locker released changeable wallpapers, so its even better!

nice bro.
thanks

Thanks, I really like this lock screen!
One question though, do you know by any chance how to make it into a 24h clock? I thought that maybe if there was an .xml file it could be modified, but I have no idea where it installs and I'm not sure it would work.

Any idea how to get it to run on a Samsung Galaxy S2? The easy way, uninstall stock Fourkey, copy GoLockerRedux.apk to sd-card, install via clicking, doesn't work. Installer stops without error message but 'Application not installed'.
Needless to say that I like your work. That's why I'm trying to get it installed.

Installed this no problem at all. Nice colour change.

hi,
I'm sorry, no idea what might be wrong... a couple of my colleagues installed it on different devices without any issue... no galaxy s2 though.
Have you disabled the lockscreen before uninstall?
cheers

I finally got it to work. Really nice theme, I'm quite happy with it. I just changed the clock's font to a one more fitting to my other screens.
Cheers
Toscha

how about using the theme wallpaper as locker background?

I like this theme very much, except it seems to be flashed when I touch the circle. Can you fix it?

nice
thanks

Hi. I'm using a GO Locker Theme called Mango. And I can set a custom wallpaper but when I slide to unlock a lock image appears. So where are the themes files (the path to them) so I can look and try to change it? Because I want my custom wallpaper all along...

Glass on ANY ANDROID DEVICE! [4.1+ Recommended]

Yo Guys.
This is a tutorial through which YOU can have the Glass UI on ANY ANDROID DEVICE. This is the proper UI that you would find on Glass. Basically we are going to download and install some MODIFIED Glass so that we could use it on an Android phone. I haven't modified the apps. I am just telling you how to use them.
Now first of all the things you need -
Android device which run 4.0 or higher. However 4.1 higher is recommended as that has the updated voice controls.
A Bluetooth keyboard. This would be used to navigate. The touchscreen doesn't work in the UI.
So let's do this -
1 - Get the Stuff.
Go to https://github.com/zhuowei/Xenologer as click on "ZIP" which is besides "CLONE TO WINDOWS". This would give you the modded apps. You can read the dev's readme to see what he has modified. Then go to http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...em-dumps-please-do-something-cool-with-these/ and download the system dump. From here, using WinRAR/7ZIP got to the system/app and extract all the files which have the suffix "Glass" to them. Refer the diagram below.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2 - Installing.
Copy all the apps that we downloaded and put them on your phone. Then install the apps. The first app that you would install SHOULD BE GLASS-HOME!!!! For the rest, the order doesn't matter.
3 - Finale.
After installing all apps, hit home and choose - Glass-settings and choose "just once". If you choose "always" then you would be screwed. Now you using the keyboard control the glass ui. -
ARROW KEY = SWIPE RIGHT/LEFT
ENTER = TAP
ESC = GO HOME.
If at any time you want to turn back, simply press the home button, choose your launcher and you are done. For more info watch the dev's video :

Thanks for posting this tutorial, however I would remove that file list from Ron's dump as most of that stuff will break it.
DO NOT INSTALL frameworkstubs.apk glasshome.apk glasssetup.apk glasscamera.apk or glasssystemui.apk everything else is fine to bring over from the dump file but those listed ones must not be installed from the dump.
I recommend watching my video so you do it correctly, and if you want to help or have some ideas as to why things are not working let me know.

Well the video doesn't seem to be working atm.

This is extremely cool. Installed it on my Nexus 4. It keeps telling me there is something wrong with my network connection. Will try to test all of the functions soon . Talking to it works fine!

I forgot to add my wifi network and of course can't capture the QR, so I can't search Google, yet the timeline updates go through :silly:. But it works great on my phone anyway.

I'm making a new tutorial video tonight that highlights some new features and some bug fixes!

No facial recognition on glass - Could have been a great feature

I wrote a little app which acts like an invisible keyboard that allows to navigate through glass using the volume buttons and simulate the enter key using the menu button or a long press on back, instead of having to use an external keyboard.
The app is open source, you can grab the code on my github : http://github.com/Androguide/GLASSInput
The apk's direct link : https://github.com/Androguide/GLASSInput/blob/master/GlassInput.apk?raw=true

Thx for video :good:

This seems a pretty cool idea, thanks for posting.

Did you know?

Did you know you can turn off magazine app from opening when pressing the home button. There is an option for it ....... when magazine app is open press the menu button, then settings, then select open using the home key, un-check the box.

Well that was simple. Thanks, that stupid thing drove me nuts.

While on the subject, anyone know of any way to add new news sites to my magazine? Ie specific sites and not just a category?

Thanks I hate it too.

That thanks was purely for the sense of humour. He he

Did you know that you can create shortcut icons in the Multi Window panel that will automatically open paired windows of your choice?
If you didn't here's how.
Open the Multi Window panel on the left side of the screen, then open two apps that you use together. Now with both apps on your screen open the Multi Window panel again and look for the up arrow at the bottom of this panel and touch it. A little menu will open, select create. A box will then appear that let's you give it a custom name if you like.
More tips will follow and if you have a tip please feel free to add one.

How can I add Apps to the selection? There are a few apps on the tab but I would like to add apps I use the most. Seems I have tried everything but the right thing.

You have to root it and install Wanam Xposed. That has a setting that lets you pick what apps you want to make available for multi-window.

Multiwindow Plus and Pen Window Manager will also do it, you have to be rooted for both though.

Xposed is easier, free and does lots of other awesome things
