I have finally updated to Android 2.1 but i cannot find the option under Timescape that sets it as default for home. In 1.6 there was an option to do that which changed the home screen to integrate Timescape with the desktop. Does anyone know how to enable this feature in 2.1?
They removed it in 2.1, i think becouse the Performance it was a bit laggy sometimes.

i think the only thing is wallpapers you can use
PandaHome works great
Try different launchers like ADW helix zeam etc...
Change wallpapers.
Thats it for now...
ADW is really nice and smooth, give it a try
+1 ADW is cool, plus a quite a number of themes are also available for same. I no more use the defualt "Home" Launcher.
+ADW or Helix
I find helix scrolling to be a bit smoother. Not as sensitive either.
I use home++ beta. Its good and has a power bar below alongwith built in task manager; search, dialer, etc. It can hide the notification bar facilitating full screen wall paper etc. Its in beta but stable enough with a very few force closures. Its expected to improve further in the final release. All in all its worth trying.

to say the truth ADW launcher looks better and can be anjusted the way u want but helix is much better for the battery it stays longer with it
i tried both and i see that helix has the advantage of the power saving and dose not look bad at all it looks really great too.
never mind this is only my opinion
panda home,livehome,dxtop lite work great
deleted. wrong thread.
ADW +1 lot of theme on the market
dead?
Why is the theme scene on x10 mini so DEAD?
I see the themes available for other android devices and pics of other ppl's home screen n it drives me INSANE!
its just SO frustrating.
I installed Zeam but i can't find any themes for it.
I have yet to find a decent tutorial here on the forums or on the web on how to theme/personalise/pimp the x10 mini.
I fear i'm gonna lose my mind soon.
Someone please do something or at least recommend some decent psychosis meds.

uhh well themes .. yah there are some themes .. but its not easy to install .. its not an APK .. or a theme file thing .. u need 2 root .. install some applications .. and copy files .. and stuff .. ;D
I use Adw Ex and am loving it.
Smooth ass hell and fast.
But I would LOVE to have some different themes from SE so that we dont have to live whit this blue menu all of the time.
the best is launcher pro plus. No crashes so far and really smooth scroling.
Hi, I have Wolfbreak's GB installed on my x10. Is it possible to make the timescape and music player widgets available to other launchers as well? I can only see these widgets on SE's ARC launcher, but not on other launchers. Really love these new widgets from SE. Thanks in advance
Any developers out there care to comment? I did a little search around this forum and found that people have asked this question before, but have yet to receive an answer. I'm not looking for a solution now, just wondering if its possible. Thanks.
Hi,
Im in the same boat as you. I want to use these widget on other launchers but can only see in Sony Launcher.
Anyone know how to add the widget on other launchers?
Thanks
I know that it's a missing when some widgets can't be use on another launcher but I think this problem caused by widgets' settings. Some widgets are set up just to run with Stock launcher only.
it doesnt work like that ..i think we need to modify the framework accordingly for installing the widgets on other launchers ...
Hope its right
thnk me if it helped
Well, is there any other widgets/apps that will provide similar functionality?
Also I think many ppl would appreasiate it if someone would modify the timescape widget to work with other launchers, I do think SE is onto something there, one glance and I'm up to date...
;-)
Thanks
SE lock their widgets so they cannot be installed on any other launcher, it really annoys me becuase the stock launcher is useless (Not being able to even add more homescreens is a joke)
I would like to know if anone is actively working on this problem as quite a few people are asking about it.
Now that timescape is becoming more user friendly...with more extensions for more content....I would really like to have the widget but I refuse to use the poor excuse of the stock launcher.
This would be a good project to work on....lets see if anyone is listening

I dedicated some time previously to working on it to no avail. I BELIEVE its coded in the smali code, but if its forced to run on other launchers it doesn't work properly:
Timescape can't scroll [well can scroll but you can't see] and MIGHT take you to the wrong message/facebookthing/w.e. and only refreshes when you reboot...
Music player the little icon thing [thumbnail] does not change and the thing bar does not actively move [the time bar] and the buttons are glitchy
you name it, errors come. I gave up :L

Same issue bro. I use ADW Launcher EX... I want those features...
Would be great to have the freedom of using timescape on other launchers. the only reason i still have the stock launcher is because timescape and the music widget only work on it I guess it was a trap that was well thought of
I think pheel is the only one to have made some advancement on this project (that too, on my request ) but it faded out 2-3 months back. Hope with the senior devs (yes, greg, bring 'em on!) we can see some progress!!
Hi guys,
im still bothered by the crappy performance of my app-drawer.
The best thing I foud yet is AltDrawer (k just tested it 2min but really was smooth)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
But since i got many apps on my 101 I really miss the category function of VTLaucher wicht I currently use.
I already tried out ADW, ADW EX, LaucherPro but all run fine on my wildfire but as soon as high res screen comes into play - performance massively goes down.
Any suggestions?
I use Apps Organizer. Works great.

VTL launcher, v1.7.0, has categories in app drawer.
This is the best launcher for tablets.
Sent from my A101IT using XDA Premium App
Thanks, just stumbled upon Apps Organizer - but its loading time on start up annoys me (3s blackscreen) + its still lagging a bit while scrolling
AltDrawer is faster but no categories
VT im currently using - but hey there is a v1.7.0 ? cool
will check out
EDIT: damn it isn't free anymore and i dont own a credid card so i have to stay with 1.6.5 atm
EDIT2: anyway - i just tried updating - installed an adw honeycomb theme - removed pulse service - and somehow drawer is nice and speedy now ?!!? perhaps affected by the other theme?
Hi anyone who reads this, im currently wondering whats the best home launcher that people are using. i know there are alot which have ups and downs but i feel there is not one truely dominant launcher i have heard of. So, if you would like to share your experience, good or bad, of home launchers id love to hear your views
BTW its not a place just to slag off anyones hard work making a launcher ect, id just like to hear other peoples views
Thanks

thanks for the reply
ADW launcher or go launcher.
I don't like se launcher at all. The bottom bar is far too fat and it has no customizability
Mostly agreed, but i like the widget overview
it would be adw but you cant add the arc photo widget. so i think it be the se 2.3.4

If that's the one that allows you to share apps on fb, I agree! But not because of that, I don't even use that feature

X10 HACK
Stock 2.3.4
Sent from my X10a using xda premium
launcher pro because
1) I like the scrolling calendar and facebook widgets (paid version only)
2) I like the ability to hide certain apps from the app folder
3) its very stable for me
I'm interested to see what features other launches have over it though as development on launcher pro seems to have slowed somewhat.
My faves are stock 2.3.4 and LP.
However i prefer LP for all it's themed HD icons and tweaks available.
Is there a way to theme icons for stock 2.3.4 ?
+1
I really can't live without the scrolling calendar i LPP. I've tried another scrolling calendar that worked on stock SE 2.3.4. But it was to ugly...
SE Stock have two major features I miss...
- 4x4 icons (I want 5x4)
- Can't customize shortcuts

GO launcher has a scrollable calendar i think with smooth page transitions so i liked that when i used a calendar.
Also, it has many tweaks to get it how you want, maybe an alternative to LP as it now seems that its a pretty dominant launcher
Fave Home Launcher
I've been using SPB Shell 3D for almost a year now so I would say its almost my perfect choice but I love the one from stock 2.3.4 too.
Currently, I use Launcher 7.
nemus launcher for me !
stock se 2.3 home and Nemus Launcher,because of speed and simplicity
Defo Sony 2.3.4 stock launcher. Looks good, simple to use, and really fast!

Hello all.
I recently bought Xperia Ray. So far I feel good about my purchase, but there is a minor problem, for which I cant find a solution.
I really like the looks and performance of Ray's default theme (its called Timescape if I Googled ir right). The problem is, that Timescape's appdrawer dont have tabs on top of it (I mean the menu with 3 options - All, Recent, Running). is it possible to add this menu to the default theme's appdrawer?
use go launcher instead
I am using GO Launcher at the moment.
Anyway, I kinda prefer the default one, so, if there is any chance of making default appdrawer to show thos tabs, i would really appreaciate any help.
EDIT: The main reason, why I like Timescape, is because of the widgets - music playing widget and Pic&Video preview widget. If I use GO Launcher, I must use additional widgets like Winamp, which, tbh, I dont like.
AFAIK, that would require a lot of developer skills to add those tabs to default launcher
and its not called timescape, its called sony ericsson home
timescape is just an application from SE
I see. Thanks for the answer, will try to tweak GO Launcher so I actually start to like it...
