Hi fellow X10 mini (pro) owners
We already know that there are problems with finding all apps and games, as most won't show in the market.
But now I want to install Launcher pro (which i found on their website) and it can't be installed.
Is there a way to change things to apps that they can be installed or is this a really a screen size problem for which it won't work?
Anybody els tried to install it?
It is only made for Android 2.1 and 2.2.
X10 is 1.6 (Donut).

Me too
try adwlauncher, works awesome on my X10mini
its free and you can download it on the market
have fun
I use Home++ beta which also works very good.
I recommend HelixLauncher Donut - works great
ADW and Helix works perfect.SlideScreen is interesting but need improve.
Well... Proclaiming that Helix Launcher works perfect is somewhat of an overstatement...
It brings two nice additions to the table:
1 - Several widgets on one screen (Allthough it is impossible to achieve good looks in doing this, since most widgets are not well adapted to the small screen)
2 - All apps on one long page in the drawer...
Everything else is equal or worse than the original SE homescreen. It is a little bit more laggy than the original (sometimes - definately not noticably smoother/faster at least), and you loose functionality like beeing able to uninstall app's easily (two-click operation on original) which you will be doing alot when playing around in the market...
If the 2.1 update from SE adds theme'ing, multiple widgets and the possibility of a one-page app drawer, then there will be no point in installing these third party home screens for any other reason than adding a little fiddle-around-effect.
But... Who needs a better reason anyway? Check them all out, that's what I say )
Just to let you know, I have x10 mini pro and it works like a charm! It actually made my phone just x100 time more beautiful and useful.

Looking at the x10 mini pro for my old man.
ticks many boxes
android
small
full qwerty
but not fond of Sonys UI
So could anyone test launcher pro from the market on one and post screen shots or stills please ?

when you go to x10 mini apps forum, you see launcher pro only works on android 2.1 and not android 1.6
I made a request to the developer of Smart Keyboard Pro to add a full screen mode in portrait like the x10 Mini stock keyboard.
I thought this would be a worthwhile addition for us x10 Mini users as we can use the Smart keyboard Pro in the same way as the stock keyboard.
Any way after beta testing, the latest version 3.8.0 now has this feature included.
Hope you find this update as useful as I have.
I can't get it, when i'm going to pay, some error ocurred ... when paypal on Android? gR!
Thanks for the notice!
You can just download it from the Market.
I got it finally! I really love it, it's the best keyboard and also with that option is a MUST in our mini.
is it better than anysoft keyboard?
anysoft is free.. =p
im using anysoft, also, it has a portuguese dictionary
I tried most of them (including anysoft keyboard) and I still with my Keyboard Pro... at least for x10 mini (and for me) it's the best, it works really fast, just that i want.
SmartKeyboard pro is the best on x10mini , its faaaaaast!!
Now we need someone to create a blue x10 skin.
dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewforum.php?f=13&sid=1ffc9a6011b9682b99657b781dd696a6
I've had a go but I'm rubbish at things like that.
Good idea , let me see , its complicated though

I finding a ROM that you'll think is best for xperia x10 mini. Help me to pick up one,
ROM With:
Long Battery Life
Fast,
Easy to manage
good theme
i think IRIDIUM ROM by Dark_dog will be perfect for you(except for the Purple theme!!!!)
USE MINE! USE MINE! LOL
I agree, Iridium ROM is sweet - fast and since I like purple it's ALLLL GOOOD
I do have have a couple of ROMs in my signature (Just finished Green Android) which does run fast
Xperia X8
your rom's works on a xperia x8 ?

Ummm... I don't think so - there is different screen resolution for a start which would probably cause issues with the replacement files fir JIT.
I haven't tried as I haven't got one but if you are famulier with SEUS and feeling brave then give it a try!!!
BTW: I am not responsible if this is put onto an X8 since it hasn't been tested!
I'm currently switching between Manny's Xtreme Theme and Shiv's Gingerbread Nexus S edition, they are both really nice looking themes.
(I think Gingerbread is a bit more stable/quicker, and has a nicer battery icon in the notification bar, it also has a cool little android in the pull down notification menu.. its the little details)
but Manny's Xtreme theme has really beautiful Application Menu's (like in launcher pro when you press the menu button you get the box at the bottom and all the icons are colored and look really sweet.. )
yes, Iridium Rom is fast.. (but for your average user not really that functional, as it is too customised to one user's taste.. once you start installing your own widgets, home launcher, and apps its becomes just as slow as any other Rom. (I have tested this with Linepack and Quadrant)
This is just my personal opinion and of course everyone has their own taste's the only way you can get a Rom/theme perfect for you is to either make it yourself or combine several existing ones and take what you like from each (which is what I might do with Gingerbread and Xtreme because I really cant decide which little features I can live without)
Good luck.. and have a play, with xRecovery its so easy to switch and swap (just make a backup in xRecovrey first so you can always revert)

Hmm,
after ~50apps and several widgets, i still get 7600+ in linpack and 600 in quadrant.
Overall experience is still fast.
So what is your setup?

Hey D_d
I have switched back to Shiv's Gingerbread nexus S Theme at the moment.. but please don't take my comment the wrong way.. I'm just trying to point out its not just the Rom that effects speed.. its a combination of things.. the Home launcher, apps and widgets that are running too, I was getting quick Quadrant scores running your Rom, faster than other themes/roms (590's), but I didn't like the app drawer so I installed Launcher Pro, then Beautiful Widgets and a few other apps.. and after that the Quadrant scores had dropped into the 570's-580's and the speed was barely distinguishable from other Roms.. My SD card is only Class 4 so perhaps that effects my Quadrant scores running your rom with Apps2SD (I don't use Apps2SD on other Roms) anyway, I think your Rom is the most out there Rom, so different from anything else I have seen.. I didn't mean to offend, just wanted to say each to his own. Your Rom in its pure form is still faster than anything else
Sincerely
Kiwi

Hey!
I wasn't offended in any way, sorry if it sounded like that!
What i meant was, that i always look for ways to tweak things up, a liiiittle bit more so that's why i'm asking about setup and stuff.
I've installed many many applications and widgets and i still get the same speed and overall experience plus the quadrant and linpack scores.
To be honest, i still use iridium's launcher and probably it's simplicity makes him fast. Launcher Pro is a highly customizable launcher, but tends to make our phone laggy (try Zeam instead).
And some other piece of info:
App2SD plus the dalvik2SD mod can run properly (and fast), even on class 2 sdcards! (The only laggy part is during the installation of an app, probably +/- ~2seconds). So don't worry about lag with this script.
On the contrary, if you move your /data/data on ext3 partition, you will score more than 800 in quadrant but your phone will get so laggy that it will become unusable anymore (unless you have a class 10 sd)
PS: Purple is the new black. Once you go purple, you never go back, lol
Regards, D_d
@D_d
Sweet.. the last thing I want to do is offend anyone..
And thanks for the Apps2sd tips.. I have used that in the past.. but I find it causes a few issues every time my P.C mounts the ext3 partition on the phone... (I run Ubuntu and it seems to always mount both my phone SD partitions without me telling it to )
I'm waiting for a Froyo type Apps2sd where you can select what apps go where.
I use Launcher Pro Plus (mostly for the widget resize, LP widgets and scrolling dockbar) Zeam's dock bar is really screwy, no fixed scroll, you can only have one App drawer button on it and no custom dock backgrounds.. plus no widget resizing.. but then again.. I also drive an old Citroen so slower speeds obviously aren't an issue for me
I´d used MiniCM6 (great Froyo based ROM) and MiniCM7 (not so good as MiniCM6) for a long time. Now I´m using GingerDX (based on MiniCM7 and ported from Xperia X8 to X10mini) and I´m very happy, it is fast and very powerfull. Some bugs need external programs like Smart Caller ID (free on Android Market) for a correct caller identification (the screen cover the ID on original rom).
[]s
I think that if you haven't got a rom yet, the best would be to wait for the official Clockworkmod team to make their official port of CM7 (they say it's coming up)
I personally use the awsome GinToniC SE by slades87, but i don't know if it works on mini (it's for pro)
Hello everyone ,
Every one who installed Froyo 2.2.1 to his xperia x10 know that the application menu look really sexy. It seems like it's a cube that is movine up/down.
Is there any way to port this to 2.1? I hope you understand what I mean x)
You mean the app drawer? if so, then you can use one of the best ones e.g. LauncherPro+, ADW.Launcher EX.
And enable the '3D App Drawer' in them.
Yeah thats it, thanks

i tried this couple of minutes ago, but with all due respect...touchwiz isn´t that good. I dont like it at all. I need more config-options than touchwiz can deliver (0)

It hides the 4th line aplications under dock.
I will add in first post.
Edit: Its just a matter of organization, i deleted previus versions.
The tip is to dont keep more than 12 icons in eatch screem.

Only hides the second text line. The tip there is to put in erd line aplication only apps with short names...
