Panda Home

Go to --> Home Assistant --> Dockbar --> pull open each dock --> there should be a button to turn it off.

I restarted my phone...and it's looping ...had to hard reset what the hell lol.


Do I have to take things with Panda Home one step at a time?


Install it....restart Phone....get theme....Restart phone?

I've experienced a few black screens and random force closes, but overall it has ran smoothly, for me.

Tried PandaHome and loved it, but one thing made me uninstall it. Perhaps someone can give me a solution? Sounds extremely nitpicky but it's a dealbreaker for me...

Why does PandaHome replace the google search widget with a different one? When you click the search bar it makes another search bar pop up at the top of the screen (so annoying). Plus, the size of the widget is different which messes up my layout.

Does anyone know how to use the "stock" google search widget with Panda?

I've wondered the same thing. It's silly to click on a Google search just to bring up a different Google search.

Install it to a home page and it is always there.

What do you mean Install it to a home page? Install what?? :S ...I'd like to use the actual Google search bar as well not some shortcut to it...

As much as I love using PandaHome this latest release is a real dog (force closing, missing icons, missing options just to name a few) - I restored to a previous release and all is fine. I am confident they will get the bugs worked out.

I'm at least waiting till the MR or 2.1 upgrade for the Moment. It's just too slow over stock to deal with for me. Seems like the best of the bunch though so far.

Can someone explain what the dock bars do exactly? I don't see a purpose for them and I don't see how to turn them off either.

The Dock Bars make it so that you can have certain apps, shortcuts, etc available to you no matter what screen you are on. 1, 3, 5, 9 screens it does not matter, the Side Dick Bars always have those apps ready for you.

I think it's handy, but that's just an opinion.

I played with it for a while but gave up. All the program icons in the tray disappeared. They were still there in the stock "home" but the pull up tray was empty in Panda. The only way to get them back was to uninstall and reinstall. About 2 days later, they disappeared again. This time, I didn't reinstall. At least for me, too buggy for everyday use.

This happened to me too. I did not uninstall, and the apps just appeared again a few hours later (just after I read this thread last night, actually).

But there were two Active Folders I created and added Speed Dial (contact) icons to are still empty. Every single contact I had dragged into the folders has disappeared. It happened around the same time as the apps going missing. I am not sure if that is a Panda bug, but it happened at the same time as the apps disappearing from my App Drawer.

Any thoughts? I think I'll log a ticket with the Developer.

Does anyone know a way to have PandaHome stop auto-sorting the icons in my dock bars alphabetically? I want them to stay in the order that I put them on there.

A fast and dirty fix might be to rename the icons with a number prefix before adding to the dock (i,e, 1-browser 2-email). Just a thought...

Yeah, I thought about that too. So I guess there probably isn't a way to do this currently then.

Thanks!

I haven't run into any of the other problems I see mentioned...maybe a little slower. But I just did an update and it wiped out my email settings. That happened one other time, but I thought it was something else. Anyone else experience this?

I just downloaded it, it's pretty neat, but I'm so used to Sense UI.

Has anyone figured out if there is any kind of app out there to transfer your set up from your old home screen, to the new one? Or maybe there is a setting I am missing?

I am getting overwhelmed with trying to redo all of my screens.

ETA: I love the dock bars! I am putting my frequently called people on one side. Haven't started on the other side yet.

Absolutely you can, considering you have a special partnership with Nvidia and some of the top hardware in the industry. Seriously 3D rendering of that sort takes an insane amount of PC horsepower unless you want frequent application crashes and literally weeks of rendering time. The resources it takes to produce a film of that quality are far far beyond anything you have at your house, or even have access to for that matter.

New to the Droid community (And SmartPhones as well. Had an LG Env for the past two years). I just DL'd PandaHome...

Help a newbee out here... What are we talking about where I am reading about drawers? Also, while I know what a theme is, how do they affect the operation of the Droid...?

Like I said, still learning this new toy of mine... I like it so far... has come in handy in just the first week and a half that I have had it...

Thanks in advance...

Glad you are enjoying your new toy My Droid has become my personal 'busybox" and even after playing with it since the first day of release always find new uses that amaze me.

The drawer is the slide out area that has all of your installed application icons. You access it by pressing the center bottom icon on your home screen. PandaHome allows you to hide icons that are in the drawer and also can change how the drawer looks. I am sure that themes slow down the Droid but my is running fine. I use a high definition theme "Fresh Blue" and it runs great.

Does anyone know hoe to add The BlueTooth Widget, Wi-Fi Widget, Gps Widget, 3G Widget on Panda Home Cant seem to find how to do it..

 

[Solidis]

I would be interested in reading through the guide if someone has a link or .pdf of it..

Do you know how to use the drawers or what they are there for I haven't figured that one out yet... I have popped them out but what can be assigned to the location?

Thx,
AD

EDIT: Figured out you just have to have the drawer open then you can drag your app icons into it.

Hey i was looking around and i found the .PDF.. File for you ... Hope this Helps..

I came on this thread because I was having trouble getting Pandahome as my default too. The others are right. It is Settings>Applications>Manage App.....STOP THERE IF YOU DON'T SEE "HOME!!!!!!" If you don't see "Home" Press the "Options" button. (The one longer bar with three smaller bars under it.) Then select "Filter." It'll bring up a scrolling menu. Select "Running." This will show all running apps. From there select Home>Clear defaults. And to the one who was a smart a** and said, "You must not be understanding the instructions correctly." If you had explained it fully and correctly, it could have been understood. Hope this helps!

I used panda home and it was good, but i prefer dxtop. I like the dock at the bottom for dxtop, plus it also can incorporate ahome blah blah themse as well, as well as custom fit dxtop themes.

After upgraded the firmware on my Samsung Moment, I downloaded Pandahome (v 1.80). Now I can no longer adding another screen by draggin an icon to the left of the leftmost screen, or the right of the rightmost screen. Does any body know how to get around it?
Thanks in advance.

Aftr running with dxtop, it seems to run a lot smoother than pandahome did. And you can use just about any widget with it. I must say I love it. And the dual drawer has a nice feature that will kill all open apps. Very handy.

FYI - Just got an update for Panda Home today. The update indicates that Panda Home 2 is coming out in ten days, supposedly quicker and smoother.

I tried following the instructions above to set Panda Home as my default home. However, when following the instructions above, it won't let me 'Clear Defaults.' The only option I have is Force Stop. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do? I'm using a Behold II. TIA.

When you go to settings>applications>manage applications> (and what i'm seeing here people are saying select home, the thing is home isn't there).

That's because home is a native app that won't neccesarily show up. Select your options button on the bottom between go back and home. You'll see an option for filter. Select that and then scroll up to All and select that. THEN you'll see home, where you can select it and remove the defaults.

I wish people would follow through with their instructions and not leave people like us wondering where step 5 went, after being told 1, 2, 3, 4,5 ...7....

An easy way to select the default home app and to switch back and forth is to download the free app "Home Switcher" from the market. For smoother operation, delete all widgets from the home you are not using.
