Thanks to everyone on this thread for showing all the cool stuff that can be done to our phones :rockon:

Here is how I had mine configured with the stock Android launcher:
AndroidSS.jpg

L1: News and weather
C: Folders by subject and communications launchers
R1: Notes, calendar, web launchers and control widgets

And now with Helix :icon_ banana::
HelixSS1.jpg

L2: News and weather
L1: Control and music widgets and launchers
C: Folders by subject and communications launchers
R1: Notes, calendar and web launchers
R2: 4x4 calendar

I limited myself to 5 screens. Helix seemed to FC much more often when I had it set to 7 screens and using all 7 with widgets and picture frames. Perhaps this could be exacerbated by having 250+ apps installed :shocked:

I'm still playing around with widgets and the layout. Next big step will be customizing icons (anyone have a good DIY link?).

You know if you were to make the regular home empty, or even rename it to .bak with root explorer or terminal emulator, you can get way better performance with helix.
 
Just updated to ud 9.0, so haven't placed all my widgets/shortcuts at this time. Ignore the spaces, hehe.

-Really? I wouldn't have thought that the original home screen would be active with Helix running. You lost me with the .BAK reference...what exactly would I be renaming?

p.s. Thanks for the suggestions.

Sorry. I start to assume that everyone is as fluent in some of the terms used around here.

If you clean out the stock home, you will get better performance from your home replacement. Home replacements are like GDE, Pandahome, Helix, Helix2, etc.

If you are rooted, you can even edit some of the system files. The stock home is a system file, and if you were to rename it from launcher.apk to launcher.bak or launcher.apk.bak, then it keeps it from reopening. This allows more memory for your home replacement and other apps.

Tank...may I ask...what directory is that stock launcher.apk file at that I would rename. I'm running Helix2 and it is a bit sluggish...and stumbled upon your post about renaming...

Thanks!
