I'm trying to share what I found so far, please share yours.
1. Create a shortcut to "hidden apps" (3D Gallery, Music app) on your Xperia X10.
a. Install ADW Launcher (the one I use)
b. Create a custom shortcut and click Pick your Activity button
c. Choose ADW Activity. It will show what activities available inside your phone.
d. Choose Gallery to make a 3D gallery or Music to make Music app shortcut.
2. Create a multi home launcher.
a. Install ADW Launcher (the one I use)
b. Make it default launcher
c. Create a custom shortcut and click Pick your Activity button
c. Choose ADW Activity. It will show what activities available inside your phone.
d. Choose your other launcher from here (Home, Launcher Pro,etc).
e. There you got multi launcher.
Or just use Home Switcher

Hi,
Try a launcher like ADW Launcher, Zeam, or Launcher Pro. You can change name of shortcuts, apps, folders, whatever through homescreen launcher (not the default one / ROM built-in launcher). Just long press on your home screen or go to menu and choose add, then you select shortcuts. You may choose any kind of shortcuts from there. Afterthat you can long press on the shortcut to change any action, name, or icon.
I use ADWLauncherEX daily. You can try the free one or other launchers. Find them in the market.
Good luck.

i have install the ADWLauncherEx.
if i use ADWLauncher, i can't use SPB mobile shell.
so i think i need to change the application name.
tks all the same.
I'd like to know if it's possible to create a proper shortcut to launch widgetlocker; I know there's an activity shortcut when adding it to desktop, but I'd like to start widgetlocker using the swipe up action of adw launcher and in order to do that it needs to be a simple shortcut to the app.
Anyone knows how to do that?

muy buena app
Hi, just Did that on my Defy. with Go Launcher, but should be the same with ADW
go to settings , select wipe up or down, then choose shortcut, there you should find an entry Widget Locker Lock now. Choose it. and you're done.
Thanks, but as I said before adw launcher lets me choose only from the installed apps (the ones which appear in the app drawer), therefore I cannot select "widgetlocker lock now".

Hi, that's because on ADW it's not in the apps section. Don't click "applications" on the main shortcut selection list. Just scroll down.
How can I set my default launcher to LauncherPro or froyo or ADW?
Can i install and change multiple launchers the same time for froyo in stock 2.2?
Sure. Go to Manage applications, find your actual launcher and clear the default start option. Then click in the home button and choose the launcher you want and check the box that says to use always that launcher.
Can i install multiple launchers at the same time ? also by the above steps if we can change the default launcher to ADW, Launcher pro etc?
Yes you can install multiples launchers for example: Adw + Launcher pro + Go Launcher, when you have installed them, if you press the Home button the system let you choose the launcher.
Yes, you can have how many launchers you want installed at the same time. When you want to use another simple do what i told in previous post.
Ya its working..Now which is the best launcher that you are using now ADW , launcher pro or any other ..suggestions please..
If v can apply some themes also?
Launcher pro + Launcher pro icons + Desktop Visualizer + any icons you want.
i think Launcher pro have stopped updating the apps..right..
i have downloaded Launcher pro from the market but can't open it, only option available is uninstall.. the devoleper itself mentioned "If you can't open it, download "ClearDefaultHome" or "Home Switcher" ..
If we can install it without Home switcher?
how to stop the vibrating alert in Launcher Pro?
hi, i have installed apps and games on my phone, the problem i am facing is that there are many icons on the menu. What i want to do is to create a folder in the menu and move some selective icons from it and paste it into the folder. Is there any app to do this.
Thanks
Search for circlelauncher in android market.
Edit: if you want you may wanna try switching to golauncher ex which supports folders in app drawer.
+1 for go launcher
Gotto agree that you should use Go launcher ex, the 2nd choice would be adw (from what ive read, never acutally used it).
Hi guys,
I've just installed a new launcher but have now lost the favourites app.
How can I access this now through a new launcher without having to clear defaults to get to the stock launcher?
Thanks!
What launcher did you install? If you install Nova (I think, could be Apex), you can create a shortcut to Activity, and in Activities you'll see Favorites, just select the one activity under 'Favorites' and it will open the Favorites app, exactly the same as if you used Sony launcher
I never thought of that!
Thanks very much!
