Re: [ROM+Kernel] MiRaGe-CM7.2-IHO
Is there a way to make the home screen have those buttons where instead of swiping to the next home screen page, you can just tap the button (on the bottom next to menu key/browser key) (like in froyo and harmonia) and it'll go to the next homepage screen. ...
Thanks MiRaGe for the Holo launcher change!
I was not pleased when I'd to switch and learn ADW over its predecessor as I was accustomed to those 'next page' buttons too. However, I've adjusted and actually gotten used to the ADW configuration. Just as I've adopted and accepted ADW, another launcher switch to Holo now... At first, it was like WTH when I thought all my ADW desktop settings were all gone after flashing the new ROM version. Luckily, I always backed up my launcher settings so I was able to easily select ADW as default launcher--which Holo is well-designed to offer this option right at its initial start. Just had to reinstall/reinitialize a few widgets that had disappeared--no big deal. While I'd the ADW configuration back, I was able to bring up Holo at the same time, and configure it to look and behave the same as ADW. After that was done, I just set Holo as the default launcher now and uninstalled ADW. Again, Holo is nicely designed with enough settings flexibility so that the switch was no big hassle. I actually like Holo now since it's leaner and more efficient--IMHO, ADW was kind of bloated and not as efficient. Thanks again MiRaGe, liking the new Holo launcher.
As to those 'next page' buttons instead of swiping to the next desktop page, I think Holo has a better feature where you can press on the [Home] button and it brings up a preview screen with an index of all the desktop pages so that one can just select and jump to that page directly. This was the default behaviour when I started Holo. If not, one can set it via:
[Menu] <Launcher settings> <Gestures & Keys> <Home key action> <Screen previews>
FYI, try it, you might like it.
