NVM the past is past but i would like to do it on my x10 mini
as well as changing files on the menu.xml or whatever option
also is there an option to changes themes easily
And it is posible to erase default aplications or unless hide them into folders
So anybody? sorry about my english im sure i could explain better if we talk please help me with this
try "GO launcher" when you want to organize by folders
try zeam laucher !!!
is the most speed launcher
Try LauncherPro (or any other) and SiMi Folder or Desktop Visualizer and Folder Organizer

Does anyone know if and how you can use custom icon for Folders on the Home screen. I dont see and option for folder in the custom shortcut section. am i missing something or can it not be done?
I don't think it can be done by default, unless I'm also missing something. I use an app called FolderOrganizer. It's not bad but sometimes the folders are a little slow to open. Its nice that it lets you sort all your apps by labels though. And you can add custom labels and categories.
right,I had that same issue so I got apps organizer.
Organize them into whatever you want and place on home.
They are customizable just like ADW
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
GO Launcher EX is the extra version of GO Launcher, one of the most popular stock home replacement app in android market, provides beautiful themes, fast flip speed and tons of useful functions. Don't know how many of you use it. Its very fast has an inbuilt task killer also!!
Check out the website!!

I've been using GO Launcher for a while now, it's by far the best out there. Only strange thing i noticed is that with GO Launcher EX you need to install a separate module in order to have missed call and message notifications down in the dock.
Can you organize apps into different categories?

No but u can put them into folders.
Awsme launcher thanx
I've tried other launchers and this is the only one moving smoothly on my Optimus. In addition to that it has icon personalization and you can make those annoying never-used apps disappear in your app menu.
it has enough customization options and the battery use is quite low. A must-have!
very good ...... n.n
Go Launcher EX in my opinion has to be the best one out there.
I am one of the people who actually enjoyed Touchwiz at first....well, until my app drawer reached over 10 pages (That's 160 apps and I even had the bloatware hidden with TiBackup)
Anyways. I have just this completely crazy and awesome thing going with Go Launcher on my phone. The best thing is, I've gone from 10 pages all the way down to 4. This launcher has so much customization and features, and on top of it all, it runs extremely fast.
I have posted several screens of what I have done on my phone using Go Launcher as well as just some screens so people can see it and understand it more.
The 1st is a preview of the ui swiping side to side, the 2nd is all my home screens, the 3rd is what the new app drawer looks like (notice the folders INSIDE the app drawer), the 4th is just all the options I have on my main home screen. The 5th and 6th Images are showing how you can switch the dock back and forth. The 7th is showing the modded facebook app available here on the XDA and my personal mod of the Picture Dial widget. And the last is the Screen Shortcut Screen (when you pinch the screen at home).
I hope you all enjoy.
NOTE: The "theme" I have is purely from the customization features I had available. I did not mod it at all (with the exception of one widget) nor did I actually create a theme for the Launcher like those which are available for ADW.
You can find almost all of what you see via internet. I had to photoshop a few icons (you'll notice them on the screen shots showing my different dockbars as those images are more recent).
gunna have to give this one a try adw launcher just isnt cuttin it for me any more
Using 2.3.2 Mur4ik ROM what I find is that Home Manager shows both Go Launcher EX and stock launcher are running at the same time, stock can take up to 40mb RAM, and second that for Go Launcher EX, so I've changed to stock because I want more mem and when I AutoKill stock then Go launcher Running tab says there's more ram.
How can I customize stock 2.3 launcher?
I need to change number of screens to 3 from 5, I don't need more.
Is there any way to create folders in menu instead in "desktop" only?
Screen transistions are not my priority, but Go Launcher is much user friendly anyway, and allows quick access to most commonly used options by me.
Yeah just hold one app and drag ontop of another to put them both in a folder

How much memory did you say Go Launcher used up? when I'm in it's app drawer tab and kill everything I can only get a max of about 150 out of a possible 303Mb
I will say that you can clear up some memory if you "Freeze" your default launcher using Titanium Backup.
Oh and one of the coolest things about Go Launcher is that since I made a Titanium Backup of it before changing Roms, when I got my phone back up and running again, all I had to do was go into Go Launcher's Preferences, scroll down and hit restore configuration (I had made a back up, can't forget that) and all my custom icons were restored. I had to add my widgets back manually, but that wasnt too big of a deal (I didn't make a titanium backup of that, but I think you can).
...hold on, actually Titanium Backup just restored all my apps, the Go Launcher's configuration is completely separate from titanium backup. GO Launcher creates it's own folder on your SD card for it's backups. It's pretty cool.
Soooo..... has anyone happened to have talked to the developer or anything to find out about making custom themes? I haven't had any experience making themes for other launchers, but I'd like to give a shot at making one for Go Launcher and I haven't seen anything on how to make one unfortunately.
nice but crashes too frequently
for my it is the best launcher for now, and in the oficial page says that it going to have customs themes
Is there any way to decrease the number of screens? I find it incredibly irritating to see have 5 screens, I only need and use 2.
I found GO Launcher to work best with stock 2.1. There are buch of themes for it, but only several of them are good for me.

I've been using Zeam 2.8.8 as my desktop launcher and think it's great for the Nook Touch, simple, fast. I am having a problem when trying to remove large widgets, i.e 4x2, 2x3. I long press the widget and drag it to the trash can, I'm not that stupid, but when it's in the right spot the widget and trash can are supposed to both turn red. Problem is on a grayscale like Nook there is no visiable change in color. Is there an app I can use to remove the widget? I've been looking for an app the past three days but not lucky. I also am using ES File manager which allow sys access. Is the widget listed somewhere in the system files so I can delete it?
Please don't suggest I update to a new OS, it's not possible. The Nook Touch runs on Android 2.1. While people are cooking custom ROMS nothing's out yet.
Maybe you should just try a different launcher
I like GO-Launcher, much better than my original Sense 3.0 for example..

The widget related data is specific to launcher so you can either try new popular launchers like GO launcher, launcher pro, ADW launcher which are prettu stable and user friendly.
Or else if you want to stick to your older launcher then in that case you can clear data for launcher application. (Goto setting - application - manage application and search for your launcher application. Open it and clear data)
sorry I don't know how to remove specifically a single widget from launcher data. By clearing data all user defined shortcuts and widgets will be removed. (Launcher Reset)
Enjoy!!

I like Go Launcher and would use it, in fact that is the launcher included on the Nook Touch rooting file, but when looking in the app drawer the font is too big and I can't see the app name. The funny part is when looking at the recent app tab and close app tab I don't have that problem.
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...
