Yeah tried this out already on Motorola Milestone XT720. Works great and has some cool stuff (pinch to see widgets), though I'm not sure I'll use as my default launcher. Wish I could get the timescape widget working.

does anyone else have the problem that the dock icons are a bit off position?
i.e. the height of the dock is a bit larger, 4 icons on the left and right are too low, and the app drawer icon is too high.
i check the screenshots are the net, they are not look like this.
it is on a nexus one.

ya, this launcher is so damn good. super fast and looks good.
only thing is the off-position dock tho.
i have installed the other 3 widgets, except weather and news, they all work well.
photo widget works, but seems to take a long time to load the photos.

    How i did it for 400x800

    As i have no experience at all with this, and other may have more experience with it. I will write down exactly what i did. Maybe that way other people now how to adjust if for other resolutions. If compiling/decompiling doesn't work yuo can sent te changed files to me, and I will make a signed app of it.

    So here is what i did for 480x800
    Working on Linux Mint 10, with APK manager.
    *People told me that doing it on windows didn;t work for them, why I don't know...*
    Decompile the app

    Then i changed to following .xml files:


    /res/layout-hdpi-v4/stage.xml

    if you changed everything that you want you can choose:
    10 - compile
    11 - sign apk
    in apk manager to get a working apk.

    If you have a working adb connection, and you want to try it out choose 13.
    This will compile, sign and install :)

    Hope this helps people to get it working, it's costing me a lot of time. And i have no probleming trying out, it just hard if you have no experience and you can;t really see the improvements. So maybe this will speed up the fixing for resolutions if other can try it also :)
