You might wanna go over to the original thread and credit the actual user from whom you copied this.
Don't copy stuff you can't come up with on your own, and if you do credit the right people.
@General public, this 3D UI MOD was first posted by XDA user JamesHarrison. therazrguy has merely copied, or should I say stole the post (in an attempt to get more views to his youtube channel) and not credited james.
Here is the link to the original thread,

You did not even link to the original post. And since your post is a complete copy if the instructions James mentioned in his video I know that you copied for sure. I was one of the first thing people to try his mods and I even featured them on my blog with proper credit.

Searched through a couple of threads on getting the wallpapers to show up properly but wasn't able to find a definite solution and after spending a couple hours trying to figure it out here it is:
This will allow the wallpaper to span all 5 screens of ADW launcher (or any other launcher I would imagine) without pixelating or distorting.
Create a background that is 1200x1024 and in PNG format (I used PNG 24bit since that is what the stock wallpapers are at) and put the picture in the My Files\Wallpapers folder on your device memory.
Go to the Nook settings>Home>Set Wallpaper and select the wallpaper you want to use form the "Wallpaper" tab and not the "Photo Gallery" tab.
After applying the wallpaper go back to the home screen and you will have a nice clean background that spans all screens and isn't distorted.
This was starting to annoy me enough to post about a possible solution. I will do this as soon as I get off work.
Thanks!

I tried the Wallpaper Set and Save app but found that it still enlarged the image and cut off the top and bottom somewhat.
resizing them to 1200x1024 and saving them in .png did the trick
although this one is not 1200x1024 (the original isnt either) here's a default wallpaper for contrarians

The default wallpapers are 840x1024, but they aren't big enough to fill the multiple screens of ADW
What I did was turn the nook horizontally and set the wallpaper. Make sure you don't turn it over until the wallpaper is set. Once the wallpaper is set you can turn it back vertically and it should come out ok. This was the only way I could get the wallpaper to not be zoomed in.

Yeah, it does cut it off some, but not a big deal to me... the resolution is great, and it doesn't require photo resizing on a desktop. Depends how particular each person is about getting every inch of the image (I'd imagine this app would suffice for many).
I use Flikie Wallpapers HD which is free in the app store. Has many different types of wallpaper and they fit the screen perfectly regardless of if you're using one screen or seven screens.
Flickie wallpaper HD worked perfectly for me. I have been looking for an app like this. Thanks!
I got another solution.
But this only work with one wallpaper.
go to system/framework/
Look for framework_res.apk
Then use 7z to edit it.
Replace the default_wallpaper.png you'll get a better quality wallpaper.

Your not missing anything my friend. You are using a different OS than the OP. He sounds like he's still running stock, where as you have CM7. There are no "Nook Settings" in CM7.
Thanks - That's what I thought , then I guess I am stuck with malfunctioning wallpapers on my CM7

Thanks for this works great
i cannot for the life of me get wallpapers to set well in landscape
They either pixelate more than a commodore 64
Only set the top half of the image
Set with a black bar at the top (I have status bar hacked to the bottom)
Or a mixture of the above
Any one got it working well?
I have the same problem.
i was in the same boat, and after a while searching i found this link
it has a handy template you can use to get full screen wallpaper to work; but to set it you may have to use "wallpaper chooser" (in market) as others cause pixelation
Ta=hanks will try and report back
no joy in landscape still
same issue?

Yep, that's the only way that's worked for me. Choose the image I want; paste it over the yellow/green zone in the template (I use landscape); select it using wallpaper chooser, probably the ugliest piece of software in the android market but also the only one that does what's necessary to set the wallpaper correctly. Voilà: crisp, uncut, screen-filling wallpaper.
I use
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.gaga.WallPaperSwitcher
If there's more than one wallpaper in your folder, just set the timer to zero and turn off auto. Then keep opening and closing the app til your happy. Seems to work for me.

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)
Video Tutorial
Part I
Part II
FINAL
WALKTHROUGHADW 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

Hi,
thanks for sharing it looks nice and I am tempted to reproduce it on my tab.
I've had a look at your various posts and I would suggest gathering all the info in one single tutorial and include all the wallpapers you used? I can't find the Green Day wallpaper and the one you used for your video tab for example....just too lazy.... Would it be possible to a clean step by step tutorial?
woaw! thats really awesome. but how did you get the calender widget there?
bobclock won't show up
I've installed it on my tab multiple times, but it never shows up in my apps or widget list...how did you get it to work?

Maybe if you clicked all the links given you would've have realized that the wallpapers were uploaded and a more in depth tutorial was given. But yes I do agree it is not as very user friendly
Ill update it tonight or by tommorow once I get on a computer and provide a cleaner walkthrough.
This layout can be achieved by using with either adwor launcherpro. From this screenshot I'm actually using launcher pro which contains the Calender widget.the rar file I linked are just the wallpapers that people have requested

Nice. I get it. Many thanks.

Very helpful, thank you.
I know what I'm doing this weekend....
Excellent work, i like it very much. I have tried to make my own setup but when i use adw with multipic it does not show different pictures on different screens,they are all the same pic on every one, yet when i gave launcher pro a go it worked fine. Anyone have any idea why it will work on one and not the other? I really like adw on my tab it seems so smooth compared to anything else so would really love it to work with this. Any help or advise would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
make sure you uncheck wallpaper scrolling
I have tried that but it still refuses to work, i even deleted adw and multipic and reinstalled but still the same. I may try a factory reset and start again anyway. If that dont work im not sure what the prob could be! Cheers for the quick response.
try switching to launcher pro sorry
Question about scrolling
B"H
Quick questions - (noob)
Got a few MT Widgets setup.
1) How do I tell the widget upon press to move to another screen?
2) I'm using LauncherProPlus - how many columns / rows should I configure?
3) Once I associate the tap action with a MT widget, I cannot seem to ever get back to the configure screen again for that widget to change it?
Thank you,
-Dovid

1. Launcher Pro Plus contains the widget, while ADW launcher offers more customization. It's all personal choice.
2.There's no need to to create an account, however your location may prevent you from downloading it. I'll try to create a mirror when I get the chance
3. Check the nook color version of hubs as they figured out a way. Sorry can't be more of help in that area.
Hi guys,
I guess everyone is having problem, setting their favourite wallpapers on honeycomb. Because whenever we try to set wallpaper, it asks for cropping and after applying cropped wallpaper becomes blurred [like it zommed in the wallpaper]......
some people said to use wallpaper wizardrii app but honestly it didnt help me at all....it still crops the picture and sometimes make it blurred.
so my solution to set desired wallpaper without cropping is very very simple but as i said this is just an alternative not the perfect solution.
just download live wallpaper called ''WATERIZE LIVE WALLPAPER '' , install it and then open it. By default it will have stones background. Go to settings and choose custom background of yourchoice. Apply it. Thats it. Now you have wallpaper of your choice without cropping. Its so easy and plus it adds the effect of water ripples on your wallpaper which looks so cool. Try out.
this is my alternative way to set background without cropping but little sacrifice is its live wallpaper but i would really love to use this until google solve this issue on honeycomb.
i have provided the link for download.
if anyone likes this then please comment
And i see, you must use the full version to get the option custom image.
Use Wallpaper Wizardii from the market
'Wallpaper for Tablets' in the market solves the problem as well.
Also, 'MultiPicture Live Wallpaper'
Both are free, and allow you to perfect you wallpaper on the tab.
+1 for multi live wallpaper
+1 Wallpaper for Tablet. Works great. No more crop

How do you use this program? When I install it, I can't open it. I've tried to reboot also.

it works great thanks for sharing
What is the exact wallpaper size if using wallpaper for tablet? 1280 x 800 ?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
The problem is that using these programs you apply a live wallpaper like a static wallepaper ...... and that this decreases the speed of toucwiz.
I think 1920x1408 resolution is best for our honeycomb tablets. But this multi live wallpaper software make the images fit to screen so u dont need to worry. Otherwise for perfect size try the above resolution....i will upload some wallpaper collection when i m free.

thanks to refer me this amazing software. I installed it long ago but at that time i was new to honeycomb so didnt notice the setting menu of multi live wallpaper but now i installed again and looked into the setttings and when i applied. ...i found that this software is ****in awesome. I love the way it has difffernt wallpaers on each screen and specially the screen transition effect is glorious.
One question though, being a live wallpaper and changing wallpaper on time intervals itself, do u think it will consume more ram and subsequently battery?
I wish it just use battery like a static wallpaper.
Another app that I used previously (although it was on my phone and not on my tablet) was "Wallpaper Set and Save".
Wallpaperwizadrrii and multipicture all compress the picture and degrade the quality.
I have yet to see a solution that maintains quality AND doesnt crop.

That's incorrect.
As I said in another thread, when using a stock Honeycomb ROM and/or ADW the standard rules of Android wallpaper sizing apply.
You take the screen resolution in portrait and double the width and that's the size the wallpaper should be to fit perfectly. Obviously you can scale up or down from there if you really want to but the ratio will stay the same.
There is a question-mark as to whether TouchWiz changes the way wallpapers are selected/size but since I really don't like TouchWiz, I haven't investigated.
Free!! Multi-live wallpaper..try it!!!
The BEST solution and a little more OPTIONS is MULTI-LIVE WALLPAPER..It looks Semi-Challenging to use but it really isn't..It allows you to set each screen with a specific wallpaper or you can have it cycle to different ones throughout your wallpaper folder..I have it set so that it cycles thru as I change Home screens..Don't let the Name fool you..It is IMO the BEST ONE OUT..Try it and see for yourself..You can also set it to FILL your SCREEN!!!Also the screen TRANSITIONS are AWESOME..And its 100% FREE!!!!
FREE!!! FREE!!!! FREE!!! ......................... If I helped in anyway DON'T hesitate to Hit the THANKS button!!

The firmware allows you to change the lockscreen wallpaper, Settings > Screen > Screen display.
You just need to size it up in the manner I laid out in the thread I linked-to.

Unfortunately the first is utter rubbish and does not work!
Is there anyway for someone to upload the the Xbox Homescreen mod for us to download? I tried making it but it was I just couldn't keep up with it. Maybe I'm just really lazy or a noob, I don't care what you call me, I just wanted to know if its possible. Or put it on the market. IDC Ill pay for it on the market.

Lol, I totally feel yall. I actually setup mine in a night, did custom graphics and all. It's actually really easy once you get the graphics, but until you get the graphics its really tedious. Basically, in a nutshell, you need a graphic for all your different "buttons". Then, install ADW and set it to have like 8 rows and 6 columns (that may not be the right configuration). Then, go install Desktop Visualizer. Then, create a widget for each of your different buttons, then set each widget with the proper graphic and to open the right file. Then, I added a long thing widget on the bottom for the shadow and had it do nothing, its just there for looks. And do that for each page of buttons... See its easy? lol...
I was thinking about putting together a tutorial and uploading all my icons and psd files for people... I might still do it. It's really not hard, and if I supplied the graphics then really you guys could get it setup and working in a matter of an hour or two. I tell ya what, if you beg and and beg and tell me im the best ill seriously consider it... lol. Im kidden... Kinda...

Oh and in case you were wondering, here is what it turned out to look like. Also, I liked this better since it would animate the tiles/icons based on the adw animation settings, where as the main tutorial we all seen it would only animated like the text or whatever... Which, I didn't really like. But yea, here is what I did, I really should throw my icons online for you guys.

Hey guys. I posted this tutorial in the other thread awhile back and I wasn't sure if you guys saw it yet. As far as I know there is only one real way to do this as tedious as it may seem, it's not all that bad once your really dive in and do it. If you guys need anything done on Photoshop let me know and i'll get them done for you. Consider this a "How To Xbox Theme your TFP For Dummies" haha as i've tried my very hardest to create an easy guide for even the most novice users. If I missed a step please let me know. Enjoy and let me know if anyone still needs help.
Download template here: http://fav.me/d4ydndp
What I Used:
ADW Launcher EX <- your launcher
Desktop Visualizer <- gives you invisible links for your tiles
Multipicture-LiveWallpaper <- allows you to have up to 9 screens
Folder Organizer (Light) <- gives you a list style folder
Simple Text <- make icon style text in a simple manner
AirDroid <- Godsend to homescreen editing
Beautiful Widgets <- My weather app
Xbox Live Avatar Widget <- Pure Awesomeness
A graphic program (In this case I used Photoshop CS4)
Before You Start:
Think about 9 different types of screenshots (i.e. home, social, video, music, etc.) as the 10th screen will be your apps drawer
Have an idea of which apps/folders you would like within each screens/wallpaper
1 - Basic Setup:
A. ADWSettings:
a. UI Settings
1. Icons
. Density Hack (checked)
. Fancy Background (unchecked)
. New Icons (checked)
2. Main Dock
. Enable Dock (unchecked)
3. Screen Preferences
. Desktop Columns – 10
. Desktop Rows – 6
. Show Desktop Indicator (unchecked)
. Home Orientation - Landscape
. Hide StatusBar (checked)
. Overlap Widgets (checked)
. Advanced Settings (all unchecked)
4. Drawer Settings
. All Personal Choice
. Background Color - #ff000000
b. General Behavior
1. Animation and Effects
. Infinite scroll (unchecked)
. Screen transition – Normal scroll
. Desktop scrolling speed – 120-130
. Desktop Bounce – 25 (personal choice)
. Wallpaper Scrolling (checked)
. Everything else is personal choice
B. Folder Organizer – think about which folder(s) you want to create (I have a music app folder and games folder)
a. Under Labels click any of the five options you have on the farthest right column (I’ll use games for example)
1. Click Layout
. Choose List With Text
b. Click Applications under the Labels column on the left hand side and scroll down and click an app that pertains to the “Label” you originally clicked (i.e. pick a game for a Games Label)
1. Click Rename on application you choose and add two extra spacings in front of the original name (“Angry Birds” is renamed to “ Angry Birds”)
2. Once you’ve done that go to the farthest column on the right and check the box right next to the word Game and follow up with the “<” symbol that’s highlighted (this puts the app that you selected into the Label that you box checked)
3. Repeat step b. for all game apps
c. Repeat Steps a. and b. for another folder (in my case I made a music app folder)
d. Once the folders have been made to your liking, click on one of the newly made custom folders (I’ll use Games for example)
1. Click Edit on the lower right hand corner
. Label name – name your folder with a small punctuation like “.” Or “,” minus the quotes (It’ll make sense later) (I used “.” for games and “,” for music apps)
. Fixed sort (unchecked)
2. Repeat step d. for all the folders you’ve made
C. Simple Text
a. Click “simple” of the four options given
1. X-Coordinate – 0
2. Y-Coordinate – 75
3. Text Size – 40
4. Rotate – 0
5. Auto scale, Gradient, and Shadow (unchecked)
6. Click the Color Box in the upper right hand
. Place white circle in the middle left hand corner to give you a gray color
. Slide vertical bar in the Alpha bar all the way to the left
7. Rename “simple” with any of the screenshot titles you want (i.e. home, social, video, etc.)
8. Click the transformers menu button on the bottom next to the back and home button (I’m not sure what its called) and select Save Style
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you’ve created a simple text for all 10 of your screens/wallpapers (for my apps I made a “ooo” simple text in a white color)
2 – Layout-elements:
Refer to the template I provided for a better understanding
I have three types of tiles:
Green tiles
Picture tiles
Widgets tiles
Tile sizes: (use whichever sizes your hearts desire but I’ve highlighted the sizes that are found in my template)
1x1 = 119 x 112px
1x2 = 119 x 230px
1x4 = 119 x 466px
2x1 = 244 x 112px
2x2 = 244 x 230px
2x3 = 244 x 348px
2x4 = 244 x 466px
4x1 = 494 x 112px
4x2 = 494 x 230px
4x3 = 494 x 348px
4x4 = 494 x 466px
3 - Creating Layout:
First think about organizing your different screens, which apps should be launched directly, which widgets you like to use, which screens have folder, etc.
I have a screen for Search, Home, Social, Video, Music, Games, Image, Global, System, ooo (apps). Your setup doesn’t have to look like this as I encourage each person to have a sense of uniqeness to their layout. Figure out the names to all your screens and make each label in Simple Text. This step is important, because there are a lot of things to do and it saves you so much time! Trust me when I say that the simple text is the most tedious part of the whole setup and I found this out the hard way.
I did each layout in Photoshop and exported each screen to my transformer. Feel free to customize the template however you would like to (if you aren’t Photoshop savvy, P.M. me and I can help by making new tiles or teaching you how to do them). For those that have Photoshop experience, move the tiles around to your liking but keep a 7px space difference between each tile (to the left, right, above, and below). Once you’ve finished your layout on Photoshop, transfer each screen/wallpaper via AirDroid into a specific folder and name it “Xbox Theme” or whatever you prefer. Now the fun begins:
A. Multi-Live Wallpaper:
a. Common Settings
1. Background Color – Black
2. Crop/Resize Ratio – Fit to Fullscreen
3. Decrease Saturation – 100%
4. Decrease Opacity – 100%
b. Add individual settings
1. Add each screen under Picture source in an order you’ve designated (but remember the order)
2. Note that you are only allowed 9 screens/wallpapers and the 10th “screen” will be your app drawer
c. Lock screen settings (personal choice)
d. Transition type – Slide
e. Maximum memory usage – Auto
f. Color depth – True Color (24-bit)
B. Simple Text: (I can’t stress how tedious this is)
a. On each screen long press till you get Add to Home Screen and click Launcher Actions
b. Add Screen 1, Screen 2, Screen 3, etc.
c. Add Open/Close App Drawer
d. My setup:
1. Screen 1 – Search
2. Screen 2 – Home
3. Screen 3 – Social
4. Screen 4 – Video
5. Screen 5 – Music
6. Screen 6 – Games
7. Screen 7 – Image
8. Screen 8 – Global
9. Screen 9 – System
10. ooo
e. Long press Screen 1 and Edit
1. Delete Screen 1 and leave name blank
2. Click the original icon box and select ADWTheme IconPacks
3. There you will find the pre-made simple text icons that you created as instructed to before
4. Select the text according to what “Screen 1” was (in my case is was “Search”)
5. Press the transformer menu button right next to the back and home button and select Save Icon and continue by pressing OK
f. Repeat step e. for all 10 screens/wallpapers including “ooo” for Open/Close App Drawer
g. Repeat steps a. through e. for all 9 screens/wallpapers (see told you it was tedious)
h. If you’re on Screen 1 (in my case its “Search”) long press on the corresponding launcher action (“Screen 1” launcher action icon)
1. Delete Screen 1 and leave name blank
2. Click the original icon box and select ADWTheme IconPacks
3. There you will find the pre-made simple text icons that you created as instructed to before
4. Select the text according to what “Screen 1” was (in my case is was “Search”)
5. Color Box – White (personal choice)
6. Text Size – 50
7. Press the transformer menu button right next to the back and home button and select Save Icon and continue by pressing OK
8. This helps specify which screen/wallpaper you’re on at the moment
i. Repeat step h. for all corresponding screens/wallpapers (i.e. Screen 2 icon for “Home”)
C. Desktop Visualizer: (On my “Social” screen/wallpaper notice the Facebook tile as I’ll be using that for an example)
a. Long press and click Widgets and scroll down till you find Desktop Visualizer(2x2)
b. Click the newly obtained widget
1. Select Icon
. Image File – Find the “blank.png” I included
2. Select Action
. Launch Application – Find the corresponding application (in this case its Facebook)
3. Emphasis (unchecked)
4. Touch Effect – None
c. Repeat steps a. and b. for all tiles on every screen/wallpaper
d. All other tiles that are empty and green you’ll notice I have icons on my screenshots but not on the template. That’s because these icons scroll with the wallpaper and you’d select these icons in step b.1. instead of “blank.png” (Try and find unique icons online such as on http://www.deviantart.com/)
D. Folder Organizer Widget:
a. Long press and click Widgets and scroll down till you find FO Folder link – Folder Organizer
1. Select which folder you’d like to place upon your screen/wallpaper (remember that I replaced the name “Games” with “.” So that’ll come up as an option)
2. Refer to my Games screen/wallpaper and notice the xbox controller icon
3. Place the newly acquired “.” right above the controller and notice how it remains incognito blending in with the white controller
b. Repeat step a. for all other folders created
E. Xbox Live Avatar Widget: (Optional)
a. Follow widget instructions
F. ENJOY YOUR FREAKIN NEW XBOX THEMED TFP!!!
Hey, awesome walkthrough !! I'm trying to get everything working right now and I have a question - on your screen which box is how big ? (I'm talking grid size) I'm guessing (I'll use the last screen as an example), that Transformers is 2x2, The Office is 4x4, Flixster is 2x1. Am I correct ?
Anyway, thanks again for the How-To, it's pretty useful !
The easiest I've tried was with SSlauncher. I've been dying to try out this layout but it's as complicated as HUBS. Thankfully someone uploaded their Galaxy Note theme and all I had to do was load it up on SSlauncher and behold..everything was in place...well most of them anyway. I forgot which user it was but you can find his post on the official thread along with his zip file. It took me about half hour re-sizing the icons for a larger screen but it saved me a lot of time. HUBS users can also share their layout through the same method. I'll upload my .zip layout if anyone is interested

Yup! it goes width x height so you're right on all accounts!
After working on and off for 4 hours this is all I really have to show.
Definitely will need more help on widgets and icon pics.
Great writeup btw!
