Love Sense 3.0, but HATE the app drawer? Fix it with this app. - HTC EVO 3D

Not mine, just found it on Reddit, which linked me back to XDA.
XDA user "xuso" created the app called 'Alt Drawer', and it's exactly what it sounds like...A "normal" app drawer, without the 'pauses', that is very customizable, and works in landscape or portrait..
The full, ad-free version is available to download here on XDA..

I gotta disagree. Doesn't replace the function of the app drawer button, so you need to have a separate shortcut on your homescreen. Redundant to me.
As soon as it can remove to the default drawer button ill like it.

I hear you, but remappable rosies will be here before you know it...
I just put Alt Launcher right above the other one for now..
I can give up one icon space for the benefits...
protip:
Enable 'low quality background' for much faster scrolling.

Not sure why you guys feel the need to post about liking the new app drawer? It's fine, this thread/app obviously isn't for you....
Some of us think the new app drawer sucks and it is a cheap way to get rid of the scrolling lag that's always in it with a Sense rom (I know some of you have magic phones and have "never had lag issues")
Anyway, the app is a great idea but it is incredibly slow and laggy. Hopefully updates are incoming..

Use in combination with Spare Parts, and also setting app drawer background to 'low quality' in the app itself, and it's pretty zippy.

Oh sweet. I hate the new drawer. I like being able to scroll freely. Not this page by page thing. I have tried looking for a setting to change it several times.

I use Go Launcher. Being able to create folders in the app drawer is 100% awesome...just a solid app all around.

you know when you in the app drawer you can just hit menu and switch it to LIST
no need for an app but i will check it out since i can't stand the app drawer either. me i like the 5 app drawer

how is it efficient to scroll 10 times to reach anything in the zs instead of one good push in the original drawer?

P.S. For the 100 people that LOVE to post .. No I don't wanna use another launcher, I like Sense 3.0 (see the thread title??) No I don't wanna go in my app drawer and set it to list because it isn't the same... (isn't that obvious tho?)
And YES, we ALL know some of you like the drawer and you think we are retarded for not sharing your opinion.. who cares? Move on =p I hate the drawer... it does nothing you can't accomplish with the old drawer except page itself.

I'm with you. I don't like the app drawer in our version of Sense 3.0. I use an app from the Market called Smart Taskbar. It allows you to reach it's version of the app drawer from any screen or from within an app. When it opens, you can set it to show all your apps and you can scroll through them as we did pre-Sense 3.0. Oh, and for those that liked Tommytomatoe's 5 column app drawer, it has 5 columns, too. Smart Taskbar allows you to also set up shortcuts to do different things, like call a certain person, or open your messaging program ready to text a certain person, etc, but you need the pro key to do that. (It's about $4.) There's a free version as well. You can also put widgets on Smart Taskbar's screens, leaving your home screen less cluttered. I guess for me, it saves time because I can open it from any screen I'm on, instead of having to navigate back to a screen where rosie is showing...

I love the app drawer. I don't like the page up down. If I could just fling. The drawer would be the best I've used.
Update: love it. Back to you.

[mod] rosie for non root evo 3d

this idea was started by tommytomatoe. i read about it on a thread from pulse. i thought it was an awesome concept so i contacted him and started on the sense 3.0 version right away.
since we have only temporary root the concept was to be able to install rosie without flashing to system.
what i have so far is a transparent app and add to home screen and a five row app drawer. this is a work in progress and we hope to have remaped buttons coming.
this is a beta- duel project by tommy and myself. here is the original thread for sense 2.1
tommytomatoes original thread
What works?
skins
non htc widgets
scenes
shortcuts.
again please post any issues.
ok i am seeing issues with htc widgets. non htc widgets load fine
once installed you will be prompted everytime you launch rosie which version you want to launch. the one you select by default can be reversed by going to manage applications and resetting the defaults. please post any issues.
sorry no screenshots as i have not gone after the temp root
we will be updating and adding features as we go.
To install place the apk on your card and use a file manager to install

To get a non root transparent rosie all u have to do is edit a skin. Ie... Music lover or any other from HTC hub. Problem is, in sense 3.0 the rosie image in skin files is in a m10, they are trying to fix mode10 tools so we can edit a skin from HTC hub, and accomplish a transparent non root rosie !

or we can have a default transparent launcher by adding images to rosie and making it independent of resources. the + here is having a seperate launcher to work with while the stock rosie is running. this is basicly a different app. or at least it is recognized as such
So where is transparent Rosie then ? And running two launchers at once is just gonna hurt the battery length on the phone. Skin using the original skin picker the phone came with. That's why its there.

I'm not trying to bash what you're doing, just doesn't make sense why you would create a whole new launcher when all u have to do is skin the one we have already.

the only thing i don't like about this is that the little dots on the left and right sides of the launcher get stretched out. running shiftdeck rom, not using any additional launcher program. also, i wish the browser icon on the launcher would go with the theme instead of staying green.

Its simple... you long press the icon and select edit. Push on the pic of the icon and it will give you the options to edit your icon... you might want to get an adw theme to have more icons to choose from, you don't have to use the theme to use the icons...

No offense but we rnt talking about editing icons unless you posted in the wrong thread idk where you misread....
We were talking about the dots that indicate which page you are on for the homescreen on shift deck rom.....adw gives you an option within the app settings but since deck removed adw and left the stock launcher there isn't an option to my knowledge....
Thanks for the lesson in how to be a ****... call me captain obvious but I'm pretty sure the cm7 themes will only be fully functional on cm7, and since you aren't running all out cm7 (shiftdeck is based off of cm7) the theme won't be fully functional... think about it before you start insulting people...

Hello jwigley24 and everyone,
Pure CM7 is using a special version (system) of ADWLauncher.
Dots, should not overpass workspace in this launcher.
Crystal is not compatible with stock gb launcher, so every graphic flaw is due to that fact.
This week's update will include compatibility with ADW standalone & ADW EX & Launcher Pro, however stock gb launcher will receive no love. At least for now.
Hope I cleared up some details.
Regards, D_d

it would of been more appropriate for jwigley to ask in decks thread but it was asked here....

how does your response even come close to his question?
I misunderstood his question... and my feelings aren't hurt... and you are correct the original question should have gone in deck's thread... oh well... the question has been answered by the dev of the theme so there is no need for me to keep being an a-hole... sorry bout that

Scrollable wallpaper isn't working for me either. I'm coming from a Captivate, where it worked perfectly.
I'm using ADW EX, but I tried Go Launcher also. I tried all the settings in Wallpaper Wizardrii, but it either has no effect or scales it awkwardly. In ADW EX I have selected the option to have scrolling wallpaper, but it does nothing. When I select wallpaper with Gallery app, it is a fixed size selection box, and the resulting wallpaper is horribly zoomed in.
The ONLY way I can get decent wallpaper right now is by viewing it in the mobile browser, and long clicking and doing "set as wallpaper". It actually makes it a decent size, but still doesn't scroll.
I use Go Launcher and downloaded the Zedge app and use it to set my wallpaper and it keeps it a nice size and scrollable.

Unfortunately I can't get scrollable wallpapers to work either, I'm trying to get Multipicture Live Wallpaper to work in conjunction with ADW Launcher EX and no go. This is with "Wallpaper scrolling" enabled too. However, if you want to fix the horribly zoomed in bug from picking a static wallpaper then you can try what I did. Apparently selecting a wallpaper from Gallery results in the zoomed in horribleness you mentioned. Try an app called QuickPic, select a picture through that app, press the downard triangle on the top right and select "set as". Doing it this way at least fixed the horrible zoomed in effect for me.

[Q] LWP Scrolling ?

I have the Telus version (I717) and with any Launcher (Go, Pro, ADW) I get any standard WP to scroll (if you enable it properly in the Launcher). But I cannot get any Live WP to scroll?
I have been reading on this, and there is a lot of confusion, we need to be specific about wich Launcher and what type of WP (Live or Standard) and if standard your image have to be wider then 800 (preferably 1600).
So my understanding is the stock launcher (TouchWiz) does not have the scroll function, it needs to be added with an app or a launcher. I tested that Pro, Go and ADW sroll standard WP fine with the proper settings and image. But so far there is no way to have Live WP to scroll (for those Live WP that have that feature).
1. Can anyone confirm my understanding?
2. And tell me if there is any confirmation of where this limitation is comming from (hardware, OS, Carrier...)?
3. Also is there any other lead or thread about a potential solution?
thanks.

If you are rooted you can replace the selector with one from another phone

If I fallow the replies, it appears that they are related to the problem with Standard Wallpaper, but the issue that I was refering to when I started this tread was about Live Wallpaper with a scrolling feature that do not work on the Note.
Does anyone have any idea on that subject?

Try Go Launcher. My wallpaper scrolls when I am switching screens.
Im using the 3D Melting Candle wallpaper which matches the 'theme' of the lockscreen (which I have not yet figured out how to change).

i'd say both are a problem, and thats what is being worked on.
I am getting closer. I am still working on scrolling. I think I have an apk for setting the wallpaper and correctly sizing it to the phones resolution without zooming in. ..just trying to fix scrolling

ok..so it has to be disabled somewhere, I am just having trouble finding it...
if anyone wants to jump in and help, this is where I am...I am trying to use this
info Sampsom used on MIUI to DISABLE wallpaper scrolling...thinking we could do the reverse to enable it.

It's a start...I just don't have the time to dedicate to it 100% right now.

Sorry, are you saying that the the problem with the srolling of the regular wallpaper is the same as the problem with the srolling of the live wallpaper or that they are both problem?
I beleive that they are totally different problem and as such should not be discussed in the same thread.
So again, does anyone have any info around the problem with the Note not being able to scroll LWP when you swipe from a home screen page to another?

lol your post is so absurd.
Complete differentiation of scrolling wallpaper and live wallpaper saying they shouldnt be discussed together is like taking your car to a mechanic because of a steering problem and refusing to acknowledge anything other than the tire could be a problem, ignoring the wheel and the rest of the chassis.
To top it off as that mechanic works on a full solution you are sitting here sucking your thumb demanding to address the tire only.
Seriously you are so self entitled you should be ashamed. People have at least been trying to find a solution and testing and you haven't done anything but complain that one aspect of the greater problem isn't fixed yet.

Nova Launcher

I've read in numerous threads around here about using Nova Launcher instead of Touchwiz to improve overall performance. What functionality is lost in going to Nova if any? I'm a little new to all of this so I apologize if this is a rather basic question.

Only functionality I've lost is Samsung Widgets, like S-Note widget. But all S-Pen functionality, Air Command, Multi-Window, etc., works flawlessly.
Great, we get to keep all the goodies and gain in speed! That's like getting thin throug a diet of fried food and candy! !!

Whoops, that's correct. I was thinking of Action Memo widget.
i seriously doubt it makes a difference over all. only if you're swiping home screens on constantly going back and forth looking for apps will you see a difference. it won't increase you fps in games or make benchmarks significantly faster. i use nova btw.
Agreed. I use it for its flexibility with gestures and the like. Honestly hours much time do you spend on your home screen?

I use Nova on my Note 3 ...on the 10.1 I just use Touchwiz. It's good enough for Tablets.

I've been hearing you guys talk about it for years now. I tried it before and didn't really appreciate it. Long time ago.
I just slammed it on there and I gotta say, why did I put up with TW all this time!
I set the Grid for my home screen and apps drawer and the Text was perfect unlike the current TW hack.
It imported my TW settings!
You can backup and restore your Setup, Duhhh, freakin' Duhhh... I'm sick of setting of 7 home screens and multiple folders when the ROM chefs start really cooking!
So far I haven't missed much from TW, nothing that outweighs the advantages of Nova.
It doesn't loop around in a circle but I'll live with that if there's not a way around it.
If you like the "looping", you can set infinite scroll in Nova Pro settings.

Plus you have infinite scroll for dock too, under Settings/Dock. And don't forget gestures. With 2 simple gestures I hide the notification bar and the dock, and enjoy nice wallpaper on full screen.
Maybe Im blind - is there a setting on Nova to hide apps in the app drawer?

You can hide apps if you have the paid version.

Are you referring to being able to swipe pages continuously? This can be done in stock.
I do like that it adds pages as needed.

Best thing to do is just install it an see for yourself. It's not like a launcher is a permanent change to your device.
I use it , but I go back and forth between it and touchwiz...I like to keep it fresh nova is great software.
