REQ Original wallpaper in RED?

Hi. I have seen the Original wallpaper but not in black and grey but black and red. I now searching for hours but cant find it again.. Does anyone remember the link? Else a link for the clasic original . (I will paint it..) Thanks ,
you could take it off of your phone then put it into a program like photoshop and overlay it with red.
TF3D Wallpaper..
Something like this?
Not something like this, exactly this !
Thanks . I know i have download it some days before ,but now i have spend hours without finding it..
So how would you go about getting that to be the background on tf3d? Would you have to use a program or could you just put it in a manila file and if so which one?
TF3D wallpaper..
Easy, place the wallpaper in 'My Pictures' on your device. Scroll along in TF3D until you come to settings, choose Wallpaper and when a box opens saying 'Choose default yes/no' choose 'no'. This will take you through to your pictures and you can click on the one you want and it will change it for you to your homescreen. To go back just click the 'yes' in the default wallpaper box.If you want to make your own wallpaper the size is 480x640....
N.B. If you SEARCH on this site for mUn BackgroundMode.CAB and install this CAB to your device you can have your Homescreen Wallpaper on all of your TF3D pages.
Sweet thanks! I knew about the home screen I was looking for how to change all the backgrounds.

Default Hom e Tab Wallpaper with Weather Animation

so the default is a black wallpaper and all the animations run smoothly, but when i choose a different wallpaper the weather animations are very laggy- but now when i go back i can't get the default wallpaper dialog to come up- how can i remove my custom home tab wallpaper??
i am using Sense 2.5
Clear the value from \\\registry\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeBackgroundPath
and you can change wallpaper mode manually from the same folder, entry: Home.WallpaperMode

The start menu seems to use the same background as the lockscreen

no it doesnt
it has been way too long since i used WM6.5...but if i remember correctly, there are THREE wallpapers that can be set independently of one another:
1. the lock screen wallpaper (there are tools to set this but can also be manually set by placing a path to whatever wallpaper you want in some lock screen XML file)
2. the start menu wallpaper (same as your homescreen wallpaper when Sense is NOT running)...you can set this by going into Settings->Personal->Themes (i seriously don't remember the exact way to get to the theme settings)
3. this wallpaper takes effect when Sense is set as your homescreen. it can be set from within some menu of Sense itself.
i think you are asking about point 2 above...see if that helps!

[Q] Widget locker - is there a way to choose what part of the wallpaper to show?

Currently I have two homescreens with a scrollable wallpaper. When I first added the wallpaper, the widgetlocker screen would have the part of the wallpaper that is on screen two. Now it's moved to screen one for some reason and I'd like to change it back to the way it was as I'd moved the widgets around to fit in with the colour of the background.
Thanks
In the widgetlocker settings u can tick Alternate wallpaper and select the part which you want
Ah, I downloaded the wallpaper using the Backgrounds app. I dont think it saves to a place where I can view it.
edit: nevermind theres an option to save it on the app. Thanks!

(Seeing as there's no General Thread for tablets, I've re posted this here.)
Hey guys I finally ported my "hubs" set up to Android Tablets and I have to say its 10x smoother on our 1.0 ghz dual core device. The general idea of "Hubs" is to create a dedicated screen for each piece of media/productivity while providing a visual eye candy. "Hubs" is easy to emulate, and even easier to create your own style. Despite the lengthy tutorial, its actually easier than it seems. The fun part comes with setting up you layout!
What you'll need:
Main
Adw Launcer EX
Launcher Pro Plus
Multi Live Wallpaper
Minimalistic Text
Simple Text
Optional
Pulse (for widgets)
Cowon Clock/ BobClock Widget
Mizuu Movies
Launcher Pro Plus (Widgets)

WALKTHROUGH​ADW Launcher Users[/U][/B]
-To remove top bar-Press and hold and empty area on your home screen then click on "Launcher Actions" > "Hide/Show Action Bars"
-Enable Widget Overlapping-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Check "Overlap Widgets" in the Advanced Settings Tab
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Increase the desktop "Rows" and "Columns" in the "Desktop Layout" Tab.
Launcher Pro Plus Users- while not optimized for 3.2, it still runs perfect.
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "Preference" > "Homescreen Settings" > Increase the "Number of columns/rows" in the Homescreen Grid.
-Remove Icons From Right Dock- Hold your finger on the icon you wish to remove> "change shortcut"> "Blank"
*You may add screen transitions for each launcher if you wish, however my advise is to leave it at default as you can set transition for Multi Live wallpaper. Doing both launcher and MLW will make your screen look "too busy" IMO.
To set the "Bars" (Titles for "Home", "Music", "Movies" etc.)
Minimalistic Text
-To set title- Press and hold a free space on the screen > "widgets" > "Minimalistic Text" (size may vary per style however I use either 4x2 or 6x1 as long as its horizontal > ensure that "background color" is checked > "Predefined Layout" > "Custom" > "Custom Layout" > Click on the plus sign > "Misc" > "Static Text".
-Black Bar Tutorial click here
Wallpapers
-Set up - Load up your wallpapers on your sd card/internal memory and placing them into seperate folders and name them based on the images (ex. Music, Movies, Games etc)
- Long press an empty screen on your homescreen > "Wallpapers" > "Live Wallpapers"> "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper"> "Settings"
- For each "Screen _ Settings" Select the picture source as "Picture Folder" and navigate it to point to your corresponding homescreen.
- Additionally you make select the screen transition here that reflects your particular taste. You may also set a default wallpaper for your lockscreen.
Despite the dozen of widget on the homescreen and live wallpaper, battery use is minimal.I have provided wallpapers below to help you get started.
NAVIGATING BETWEEN HUBS​
There are two methods in which you can navigate to each individual homescreen.
Method one: Prior/Alternate way for navigation text was achieved using this methodby trekkie0927. Using invisible icons in tandem with minimalistic text can make it easier to flip to each hubs. Please rate/comment his video.
Method two: I found a great alternative to Minimalistic Text in terms of using the text buttons to jump from one screen to another called Simple Text. Since it's only an icon and not a widget, it consumes no memory and provides a great minimal look.
User AcIdC0R3 has posted a great tutorial. (Please thank him!)​
Make sure you have ADWLauncher EX
Go to the market and install Simple Text
Long press on the screen and select 'Custom Shortcut'
'Pick your activity', select 'Launcher Actions'
Choose which screen you want, 1 - 5 or 1 - 7 if your using seven screens
Click on the picture of the 2 screens side by side
Select 'ADWTheme IconPacks' and select 'Simple Text'
Select the grey box named 'Simple'
replace the word 'Simple' with whatever of your choosing like 'Video' for your video hub or 'Social' for your social media hub and so forth
Adjust your text size, Y and X coordinates, your shadow settings etc.
Click the little blue 'A' in the top right side of the screen and select your font (more on fonts further down)
You also have the option to select the color wheel next to the 'A' and adjust your text color
Select the menu icon on the task bar at the bottom and select 'Save Style' if you want to keep what you created for later use as well.
Click 'Save Icon' which will create your icon for you
Back at the black edit screen remove the text from the text field and click OK
You should now have a custom text icon that will activate whichever screen you chose for it. You can click any app icon on your screen and follow the same procedure for your apps so all your apps also have text icons.
[FONTS] In a file manager go to /sdcard/Simple Text/ and create a folder named 'fonts' (that is plural with an 's' at the end). Next go to somewhere like dafont.com and download you some kewl fonts and place them within that 'fonts' directory you just created. Now when you go into Simple Text to do your editing you will have more fonts to choose from.
That's all there is to it.
You can also work with layers within the creation of your Simple Text. Notice below where I created a new layer, rotated my new text layer and intersected where both words have the letter 'E'.
However you may notice that simple text does have it's limitations:
Icons can only be 1x1
Works best on adw
No way to resize; it is only an icon after all.
Miscellaneous
​ISSUE: You may experience widget being placed "behind" the black bars. If so try this method provided by user SwiftLegend
1. Put the widgets/icons you want on TOP of the blackbar FIRST. You need these before anything.
2. Select a Minimalistic Text Widget, I usually use 1x1. Clear out the text options (Predefined layout > Custom, delete all of the things there)
3. Once you're back at your homescreen and see the MT Widget, just long press and re size it to your liking.
You HAVE to make sure that whatever you want on TOP of the blackbar is put on the screen FIRST. Anything put on after will go underneath.
ISSUE 2: Users have reported that Minimalistic Widget refuses to post/ show up on the homescreen.
1. Turn your tablet into portrait mode.
2. Add the widget whilst staying in portrait mode as you apply you designs.
3. Rotate back to landscape.
ISSUE 3: You can no longer take full advantage of the screen real estate using adw ex (particularly the corners)
1. Recent update kills the use of every inch of the screen. In his attempt to emulate ICS, anderwebs made the edges of the screen inaccessible.
2. Revert back to an older version (1.3.3)
here's the original layout from the nook color if you guys are interested on putting this on your homescreen HERE

You mean adwex? No, not permanently. It's a probably the way the launcher was designed. Hopefully adw updates and adds an option to turn it off completely.

Got everything done except for the title bars. I couldn't seem to find anywhere to insert text using MT
When I saw it first time I didn't like it but when I made my own I love it.
I want to share my idea how to make titles made by using Minimalistic Text (like a "Games", "Home", "Music") clickable (when you click on "Games" title it will bring you to "Games" launcher page page).
My English isn't good so I'll try to explain everything with pictures.
Let's say you have homescreen like that :
and you want to add "Music" title wchich will bring you to "Music" Hub :
Now what you have to do:
1. Prepare minimalistic text widget :
-add Minimalistic Text widget with size you want
-no you should see options windows like this one :
Go to "Predefined Layout" and select "custom"
- now click "Custom layout" under "Predefined Layout" and you will see this:
delete these three grey boxes by dragging them down to trash
-click on the "plus" icon on the right side, you'll see this:
-select "additional" ("Dodatkowe" on my screen)and then drag "static text" up to this place where were those grey boxes before.
- You should have this now:
-Click on the grey box and you'll see edit options like this one :
I'll type "MUSIC" in "static text" and press back button or select style which you want
-enable option "no action on the touch"
- Now you can finish or digg in the settings. When you finish press back button to go back to the homescreen
Now the best part
put and hold your finger on free space on your homescreen
-select "launcher actions"
-scroll down the list until you see "screen 1/2/3/4/..."and select the one that suits to the number of homescreen with "MUSIC" Hub (I'll select "screen 4")(make them two if you are using 2x1 widget or other number depending on the size of the widget)
-You should have this now :
-long press on the "screen 4" icon and select "edit", you'll see this:
-Delete name of the icon, press on the picture of the icon, select "select picture" and then select "ADW dock catalog". Select anyone of docks and the icon will disappear.
-Click OK and make the same thing with other icons - they are now invisible.
- put them in the place where you want to have title of the hub
- put MT (minimalistic text) widget under/above/next to arranged icons
- long press on MT widget and select "edit". You should hae this now:
- resize the widget to cover invisible icons like this :
- resize it again to fill it correctly like this:
- press "back" button - you have now clickable title for Hub
Sorry for my terrific English - I hope you understand what I wrote
Awesome, that great. I'll def add it to my tutorial
