Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to get absolutely position on my home screen and other screens for folders and icons without using a launcher?
Thanks

When moving icons and folder on a screen you cant just put them anywhere you want its locked to a grid so is there a way to be able to put folders and icons anywhere you want on the screen?

If you want your folder/app stick to the point where u left your finger and not in the 4*4 grid - so you want it to stick at the exact position - well you can't. Don't know even why would you like to do that? You could mess with your shortcuts easily
Hope fully this will give everyone a better idea of what I am on about.
This first image shows the amount of space available on the screen

It would be nice to have total control but unfortunately we don't. I used to have launchers plus on my desire and it is probably the kind of thing you are looking for. Instead of a 4x4 grid you can change it to many others. For instance a 5x6 which would nearly double the amount of icons you could have on screen. You could also resize widgets which was handy. And if I remember correctly you could even have more quick launch icons at the bottom. Very nice app.

It's nothing to do with the one x. Your launcher and widets are crap.

It would be great for people to share their home screen setups, I'm interested to see what is possible with ICS
Unfortunately I can't attach my screenshot as I can't post external links yet.
You can take a screenshot within ICS by pressing the volume down button and power button at the same time.

Haven't really taken advantage of all the nifty stuff ICS has to offer. I like my homescreen minimalistic. XP
Ported from my desire, looks cool
Very basic - just starting to mess around and see what apps work, etc.

Hahaha, had to look twice, same folders i have but my productivity is on another screen along with utilities, news & Cool

Clock is Minimalistic Text (easily the best app for customising your screen) the weather is fancy widgets, i found some skins online for it im still trying to settle on one.
I am going to root at some point and I hope to god someone figures away remove that google search bar, what a pain in the arse that is....

I'm still not decided about the Google search bar, so far I can ignore it but it does mean if you are going for a minimalist look , you can't

It's not actually a widget it's a live wallpaper called "wp clock" that has the ability to have a custom background added.

I believe plenty of people have done it already. Its a simple framework image that needs changing. 100% possible.
It s only one image like that, so you won't miss it
Just a quick 2 minute thing, but an example of what can be done.

I'm having a similar issue. Tries replacing images in both "drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi" and "drawable-xhdpi". I have replaced both "ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png" and "ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png", but it just seems to cause endless bootloops of death. EBoD!
Please assist, as I would very much like to have a modified lockscreen.
Thank you in advance.
Keeping them the same size? they are quite large like 216X216(I think from memory)
A sample:
DarkHorse Revolution - NeXus Edition
How are you tryign to do it?
You dont need to the the ones in sw600dp-xhdpi folder, just darwable-xhdpi folder.

You could just get WidgetLocker, which in addition to allowing widgets on the lockscreen, also allows you to have alternate wallpapers, and modify the lock pictures and method (i.e. unlock like HTC Sense, Sense3, iPhone, as well as ICS).

is there any launcher that would work with the HTC ?, so far i tried ADW, Launcher Pro and GoLauncher and all of the got the anoying settings button at the bottom, is there any way to remove it ?
the reason to why i want a different launcher is that i dont like the horizontal scroll of the app drawer, lame of HTC not to add a vertical option, -.-

Did you try ICS compatible launchers? Like APEX, Nova?
awsome, thought most launchers was ics compatible but that wasent the case, APEX seems to be a keeper, cheers.

Lol, very true.
Human nature I guess, we normally badly crave for what we don't have, then we lost interest once we got it.
Btw, First time Sense user here and I'm liking it at the moment.

This and reconfigurable rows/columns are the only biggies. Widgets in app drawer would be a huge plus too. I imagine someone will start playing with these things soon enough I'd be quite happy with a stock looking launcher with a few more options.

Using Nova launcher on my SGS2, Works like a charm with loads of options.
I hate the fact Sense doesn't allow a lower DPI with such a large screen...
There is one annoying thing about android.... Wallpaper cropping, i have a 720p wallpaper which i want on my phone WITHOUT scrolling, i try and set it and this happens

Hi,
I'm in the same boat as you, been looking for an answer but can't seem to find one. Id love to set some of my gallery pics without cropping them. It should be possible, the standard htc wallpapers are in system/customize/resource.
Anyone have any ideas?

You can re-size then with an App such as PicSayPro
Quickpic, off the market my friend.
Awesome app.
I've been using wallpaper wizardrii and multipicture live wallpaper. Both seem to work well

Thanks guys for the answers! much appreciated =)
I hope Android 5.0 has an option to set a wallpaper without scrolling, i know Galaxy S3 has that since this wallpaper were extracted from it.
What did you use in the end to apply the a wallpaper without cropping???

wallpaper wizardrii, ugly icon, less than pleasant interface but it does the job.
Yeah, i used wizardrii aswell but when u now go from left to right on your homescreens there are these ugly black bars....
I didn't have a problem with my old Desire HD running android 2.3
It just selected the entire picture and set it as wallpaper...,,,done, no cropping!
I'm starting to get anoid with android 4.0.....
Where can we complain to make them updated the bloody thing and make sure we can have these selections again!?
Same as that I lost the ability to toggle on/off GPS in the scroll down quick settings menu. It's gone now in 4.0!!?! WTF!!
And Whatsapp doesn't show my contact Facebook profile pictures anymore in the Whatsapp contacts list.
There are serious problems still with android 4.0,,grrrrrr.

Exactly the same for me.
Thank you, this was what I needed..
I found wonderful free wallpapers on ssiphone.com but they don't need to be cropped (and I don't need the wallpaper to scroll)
Thank you to share the information
When you set the wall paper you can drag the yellow box out but still doesn't use a full picture taken by the camera.

Many of you having been asking me to post some flashable zips of the RAZR M launcher I modded for CSROM.
Well, I finally got off my lazy butt and did it (sorry for the delay!).
The launcher is from a different device (Motorola RAZR M) and different Android version (ICS), so there is a little lag.
But that is a small price to pay for the awesome circle widget!
There are currently two versions available: with and without the persistent search bar.
While I was able to remove the search bar, I have not yet been able to recover the real estate.
Six other apps are installed which are required to make the circle widget fully functional.

I know this may not be possible but I was just wondering is there a way you could possibly combine all the components of the clock widget into one zip file so one could just flash the clock instead of the whole launcher?
