I have installed ADW and found that it improves the UI a lot. But I have not found any way to put a shortcut to a contact directly on the home screen.
Is there a solution to this?
Should be able to add widget-> shortcut -> contact?

@knudsen81: Thank you. It was something like Launch-X I was looking for . It would have been nice to use the Pro version, but since I do not want to root my X10 it's not possible to pay for it .

Hi. (From Norway so sorry about my bad english)
I Have some questions about the x10i and I hope someone can give some answers.
I have searched alot around the web trying to find some way to change my home screens or my themes if you will. And i am trying out these different types for applications for my phone like AHome, Panda Home, ADW Launcher, etc.
but nothing works. ADW Launcher doesn't open up at all.
Now for the questions:
1. Is it posible to get some help about getting themes to work on x10i, and
how the program works? and how to make them work?
2. is there some applications out there that you can make your own themes
without having to script it? for example sony ericsson theme creator is
a good application to make themes only i want something better.
3. if i root my x10i will i loose my warranty of the phone?
4. is it posible to make the phone vibrate every time i touch the screen?
I saw the x10 mini has it, and some other phones. is it some kind off app
to the x10i that i can use? tryed searching for some apps in the marked
place but didn't find anything usefull.
5. If I want to for example change my fonts on the phone.
why do I have to root it?
can't i simply replace a font file with a file manager?
Hope someone can help me with this.
and once again, sorry about my bad english.
Hi. Welcome to XDA and the wonderful world of everything X10.
I hope you are using ADW Launcher for donut as we are still stuck on Android 1.6, version compatibility needs to be checked always.
1. The latest versions of ADW Launcher is "theme-able" and lots of themes available in the market, just search for ADW themes. Other Home apps (GDE, Ahome etc) also have plenty of themes in the market
2. To create themes HERE is a good starting point. HERE is a good collection of themes, for other themes browse through THIS thread.
3. YES! rooting voids your warranty, but un-rooting gives you your warranty again. There are lots of root methods search THIS thread for more info
4. I don't know of any such apps but searching in the sub-forums of the devices you mentioned might give you more insights
5. Fonts are stored in the system partition and not in SDcard, to access the PHONE or SYSTEM partition you need to have ROOT... to know more about root, read up some basic Linux documentation (search using google)
Hope the info was useful. Browse through all the threads (esp the stickys) and you will find lots of info....
thank you so much for the answers.
only one question left then
I downloaded adw launcher donut from market place. and tryed downloading some themes. but nothing happend. and the adw launcher was installed correkt.
but i didn't find the application in my menu. and didn't find any way to set the theme
that i had downloaded. så I just uninstalled both.
but do you mean that we have to have android 2.1 or above for adw launcher to work
properly?

Did you select your theme in ADW settings?
ADW settings? how or where are the settings when i can't even find or open up the program?
ADW Laucher will not show up in your main menu like other apps,its a launcher (home replacement app), install it and press the centre (hardware) button (the one with the square mark above it) or home button and select ADW launcher. To use ADW launcher as your default home, tick the use as default option. The menu options are there when you click the menu button (one with 4 squares on top of it) and ADW settings. Hope this solves the issue.

thanks alot. that helped. it works now.
now its only one thing missing and that os yo learn how to make my own themes.
i know how to make everything like for eksample photoshop and flash but how to make a x10i theme is a little more complicated i think.
if anyone knows how to make themes without having to script?
that would be very helpful
i wanna make my own themes. isnt there any program to make themes for x10i
that looks like Sony Ericsson themes creator? only better
Could you help me, and anyone who want to ask to find applications we describe, beacause im kinda new to android
Ill start:
I would like to find a ICE (In Case of Emergency) app that places icon on lockscreen on unrooted wildfire 2.2, i've searched a lot of these ICE apps but no one i've checked states to put a lockscreen icon.
Also i've seen some HTC handsets have option to change sense's dock bars to e.g. steel colour. Is this possible on Wildfire unrooted froyo?
Thx in advance.
Use search and google

You can change the dock with LauncherPro and I think WidgetLocker lets you put apps on the lock screen.

Is there a free version of Widget locker or one that works from .apk without paying? If so, could you upload it here please

Nope, and, I am pretty sure in stating that requesting paid apps for free is not allowed on this board. It is amounting to warez.
Worth it just for the ability to delete apps directly from within the app drawer..

Most likely what we have seen with the leaked mini pro pics, different background colors for framework/dialer
Where are these pics? Hope we are allowed to make our own.

Is it safe?
i have it on my arc, very light, no loading apps that installed on sd card each time i press home button, improved animations for icons.
Is it just me or is there a big gab between the 4th row and the dock?

[MOD] Transparent Home Dock for Arc [ Update - 2.0.A.0.20 ]
It works nice on my stock non-rooted arc.
Problem is the widget overview is now pointless eye-candy. The widgets float around one over another and are harder to read and tap than last version. I don't see a way to turn it off even.
not working
Ok, I think that I have made something wrong because I can not see any difference.
I can see the option to remove instaled aps but can not see the overview and widgets floating?!
I have read somewhere that I have to remove everything from the desktop on my phone, tried that too but nothing.
By the way, non rooted Arc.
Thanks
the Theme setting is useless now, huh?
Hello everybody. Is it possible to get it with 7 homesreens ?

Unfortunately, if it's anything like Sense, then the stock Motorola widgets are only accessible when using the stock Motorola launcher. Basically, they are integrated into the Launcher and it's not possible to run them on a third-party solution.

uh when I load up ADW and long press the homescreen I only have ADW widget. For example, I want to use the Favorites Contacts , the one that when you swipe down on it, it reveals a 20 block screen of your contacts. Can you check for that widget please to see if you can add it as im not from ADW.
is it possible to add sony ericsson default music player widget with adw launcher by using rom manager or by using the root method..i tried installing the music player widget but wont show up when i tried to add the widget in adw launcher..is there any solution at all ?

Favorite Contacts is only available with the stock launcher, I believe.
Almost all of the stock widgets do work with third party launchers. Interestingly, they look like they did in earlier versions of Blur, without the 'chrome' of the Gingerbread BlurHome (the dark blue with gaudy glow animation).
The exception is the favourite contacts widget, which 'works' in the sense that you can place the widget on a screen, but it's invisible.
Genuine question here - aside from the scrolling email widgets and the favourite contacts widget (which is bloated) the Blur widgets are the worst I have ever used on any variety of Android. Half of them don't even launch anything when tapped. Sense, Touchwiz, Timescape/Mediascape, every OEM skin with its own widget set has been more functional than this, even if it's not my cup of tea.
What gives with MotoBlur, and what do people see in it? I swear Moto know it's awful, why else would they automatically set the first third party launcher you install as default?

I use Go launcher and when I place the favorites widget on the homescreen nothing appears. After which I can then click/hold that same blank space and the options appear to modify or delete it. I've not seen anyway to place any stock widgets while using another launcher.

It is available. The fact that those launchers are unable to handle it is another thing. Same way the stock launher does not work with 52.
Hi!
I had minicm7 on my mini pro 2, and now I've changed back to stock rom and I miss the contacts widget, the one that puts a picture on the home screen and shows call, sms, mail, etc, buttos when I hit it. Can someone tell me where can I get it?
The closest widget I've found is the one called cool contacts widget but, spite of the name, it's not cool.
Thank you!
Try go launcher. I think it has a contact widget in it.
Also report your thread and have it moved to q and a.

thanks mnishamk, but i feel go launcher is too heavy for my phone...
