Go Launcher ex

[recDNA]

Is it possible to import sense home screen setups into go launcher ex? If so how? I was amazed that htc live wallpaper works on go launcher but I got bored putting all the widgets and apps back on the screens.

Is there a way to eliminate the icon labels below each icon or make the icon labels transparent?

Almost too many options.

I don't know about importing screen setups, but you can make the icon labels transparent or remove them completely. From a home screen press menu, then preferences, then screen settings. Should be the first option.

Thanks, I'll do that when I try again. Back on sense for now cuz I needed my phone tonight.

I tried a miui theme but it didn't look like miui to me. Mqybe i'll try an ics theme. There is an app to send launcher pro homescreens to go launcher but apparently none to import sense homescreens. I fill all 7 screens so its a pita for me.

Maybe if you use Go Launcher EX and load 9 home screens and leave 2 blank it will seen a little less of a pita.

I was trying to think of a response that didn't include profanity but I just couldn't do it! LOL

You need the app called DeskMigrate. That imports the icons from Sense to GO.

Worked really well! Any way to change the color of the icon labels when background is transparent? The labels are white with transparent background and I would prefer a colored font with a transpatent background if option exists.

The only sense widget I miss is the 4x4 calender and the 2x2 gallery picture. I liked the htc version because you could click on it to full size then magnify even more with finger stretch. I like the magnify option because my "pictures" contain technical data I like to zoom in on when I forget something. I'll search the market for something comparable.

Oh well, the 4x3 go calender is ok (should be 4x4) but I wasn't able to find any photo frame widget that allows you to not only click to full screen size but then use fingers to zoom in even further on a spot in the picture. I understand these apps weren't designed with my arcane use in mind.

Go to preferences, then visual settings, then font. The first option will let you change the color of the icon label.

I'm with you on the HTC photo widget. A replacement that's worked all right for me is Android Photo Widget. The free version in the market gives you the option for a 2X2, 4X2, or a 4X4 picture. There's also several frame options and you can set the widget for a slideshow or just have it show one picture. You can click on the widget to show it original size, but I don't think you can pinch to zoom further (at least not in the free version).

That's what I'm using. Can't pinch to increase zoom but best I could find.

Great tip on fonts! This launcher does it all!
