Here we have stock home screen from SE.
I was completely satisfied with it, except for three things which I will describe below. And if you help me understand how to fix them, then I think it would be ideal for the home screen of this phone model. Moreover I would be very grateful
And so:
1. Long press on the widgets and on the list of programs. This causes the editing widget or program list. Terribly inconvenient function. The editing widget or program list also caused by a hard button "Menu" and this is sufficient.
[Q] How to disable Long press on the widgets and on the list of programs?
2. All applications in the list of the programs have a label under the icon.
[Q] How to disable icons label show?
3. In "X10 mini pro" when open qwerty keyboard - a home screen adopts a horizontal position. But there is no qwerty keyboard in "X10 mini" that would change the orientation of the home screen. At the same time we have an accelerometer and a function that reads it values. And so we have a function to change the orientation of the home screen that is invoked when you open the qwerty keyboard. Consequently, in the function that modifies the orientation of the home screen, we must substitute instead of checking on opening the keyboard - to check screen position.
[Q] In which folder, which file, which line of the file and what will I have to change that would make changing the orientation of the home screen when the phone is in horizontal position?
"In which folder, which file, which line of the file and what will I have to change" this is as in addition to questions 1 and 2.
P.S. Alternative home screen does not offer

Because I like its simplicity. And the triangle button on the corners. I like its minimalism, with the exception of those three things.
I really want to implement it. Could you explain to me or to help with this?

well i don't have semchome in my rom and still i have 4 corners in stock launcher so what seems to be deal?
this two in build.prop defines ui that will be used..
ro.semc.timescape_keys=X10_mini_key
ro.semc.timescape_model=1_handed
so with stock google launcher you have less memory used + your favorite ui

Hi Everyone,
This is my First WinMo device so please go easy on me. To Start, I really love this Phone but there's one thing thats REALLY bothering me. The Rotation Speed, The time it takes to switch from Portrait to Landscape is like 3 - 4 sec. sometimes 5 sec. I don't have any program installed yet and yes, I've closed anything that is running in the background.
Is there ANY Possible Way to increase the Rotation speed from Portrait to Landscape? I tried searching for updates via phone but there is none. Please help, I really want to keep this phone but the rotation speed is pushing me to sell it.
Swtiching to the simpliest homescreen is the only option.
Thanks
I have another question, How Can I change the homescreen to have 3 or 4 or 5 shortcut icon w/ everything else removed. In other words I want nothing on the homescreen but the 1 ROW of shortcut icon. similar to this but just 1 row: http://i41.tinypic.com/2uzs1u1.jpg

Have you tried a soft reset (turning off phone and removing battery for more than 10 seconds) ?
Switching from Portrait to Landscape on the homescreen can be within 1 second after a soft reset and certainly shouldn't be more than 2 seconds.

Changing the homescreen from "HTC Home" to the default Windows should come close.
Thanks Guys, it is A LOT faster now, I have one more issue.
how can I set the Default typing when I'm using the qwerty to T9. Every time I use the KB it is on abc, I have to press Fn Space and set it manually. It doesn't seem to remember whenever I use the QWERTY. anyway I can leave it on T9 whenever I'm using KB?
Thanks.

I Need help again, HOW do I re-Format My Memory Card(MicroSDHC) from My phone. I can't seem to fine that option.
One more thing, How can I install Opera Mini so that it would show up in Start menu. e.g when I go to mini.opera.com and d/l it to my phone using HTC IE a Java window pops up to install the program. but after I install it Opera Mini doesn't appear in Start Menu like my Google Map did. Is there anyway to fix this?
Opera Mini is a Java application. Therefore it installs (and appears) within Java console called JBed (it's in Accessories). Open JBed, hit Opera and it will run...
To put it in Start menu:
1. Open Notepad on your PC
2. Put in following line:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
3. Save it as e.g. Opera.lnk (downcase .LNK)
4. Copy the file in Windows\Start Menu
It will appear in Programs and work immediately, if Opera is only one app within the JBed pool. If anything else is installed there as well, simply fiddle with the number s1_ , s2_ etc. until you'll hit the Opera.
It will keep Jbed icon, nevertheless, it works. I have mapped it on SpeeDial and I don't care about the icon anymore...

What is your home application? provide more details
i'm sorry i'm new to this, what is a home application? hmmm.. I'm running a unrooted x10 as of right now... if that helps. Thanks!
The button i was talking about is the center bottom button that becomes a trash can when you try to delete applications from your home screen. I was wondering how I can install shortcuts next to the trash can button. I didnt know x10 was capable of doing this until I used the clean-up.bat that came along with jit. However, I have since factory reset the x1o, and I was wondering how I can get the shortcuts functions back without all the other customized functions that clean-up.bat gives you after you run it. Thanks!

Im assuming you have adw, if so do as i have mentioned below:
Long press empty place of the home screen
select Launcher actions
select Open/close app drawer
Then your icon will appear in the scree, simply drag the icon to desired position on the bottom bar, in your case to the center location
Cheers
What is adw? and how can I find out if I have it or not? when I long press the home screen, it gives me 4 options - shortcuts, widgets, folders, and wallpapers. I do not have launcher actions.... how do I get that? Thanks!
Install LauncherPro, long press the icon, and change the icon, or the function.

hm... if its not the adw, it must be launcher pro, can you find out is it that. I dont have LP, so can can some one write down the steps to add apps drawer icon to the task bar in LP? Hey XperiaX10iUser ar u running LP?
I think he's running the default SE launcher???
I installed LauncherPro and it did it automatically. Thanks everyone!
The x10 mini pro has a "two-level" home screen:
the "top" hold the clock, and widgets.
the "bottom" holds the application icons.
Since there are many applications installed, the home screen extends beyond the screen width, which results in "windows", and so it is necessary to scroll left and right to see all the different "windows" and the icons they contain. When pressing the "home" button, the phone will bring up the last viewed "window" of the home screen.
Is there a way to make the "home" button always show the first (left most) "window" of the bottom home screen, namely, the left most window of the icons?.
TIA,
Mike.
In a way, yes...and in a way, no.
The screen(s) with all your apps in is known as the "app drawer". The stock launcher for the X10 Mini Pro will always do what you say, it will always go to the last viewed page of the drawer when you open it.
In theory, you could dig deep into the code of the SemcHome app and make it do what you want. I've no idea what you'd need to do, but it's theoretically possible.
The easiest way is probably just to install a different launcher. Have a look on the Market. I'm using Go Launcher Ex which does the same thing but it does let me put more app icons on one screen (I've got 16 instead of the stock launcher's 9) and you can group apps into individual folders. Or you can just hide the ones you don't need.
So this won't do exactly what you asked for, but it might give you a decent alternative.
Thanks.
Is it possible to place applications and shortcuts icons on the "top" home screen, say in the same screen as the clock?.
Thanks,
Mike
Yes, bascially. Although, again, you'll still need a different launcher for this.
A lot of phones will let you do this from stock but, because ours has a smaller screen, we can only put stuff into the four corners. Download a new launcher and you can cover your screen with app's and shortcuts as much as you want!
You can add shortcuts to the homescreen by long holding an App in the app draw and dragging away from its location to the Homescreen
Thanks all for replying.
ryant: The long press and drag method isn't working on my x10MP with android 2.1 .
I can move the app icon around in the app drawer (left and right screens), but not "up" to where the clock and other widgets live. Have you tried this on an x10MP with a stock launcher?.
Also, I've now found the "multicon" app which allows to place multiple widgets on screen, which is a good enough solution for me.
When I get a text message Ive got my phone set to turn the screen on. I have a stand for my phone that props it up and points it at me in my office. Is there a way to get it to display the notification horizontally on the screen rather than in the standard vertical position on the lock screen?
I think this has something to do with the lock screen being portrait. I could be wrong though

If you mean the homescreen, it depends of your launcher. Almost of all have an option to achieve it (screen settings >orientation settings, or something like that).
If you mean all the GUI, and you have a CyanogenMod based ROM, go to Settings >CM Setings >Screen, and disable 0° option.

That changes home screen orientation, not the lockscreen orientation.

you can set widget locker to alter the orientation to match the phones.
Hi all newbie here and did a few searches and tried to look for help but could not find right info, also I hope I am in the right spot to post so please feel free to tell me if I am not in the right place. Currently running ICS 4.0.4 up-to-date at time of writing on Vodafone Australia but I don't think the country of service provider is the problem. I have a problem with my 'Home Screen Dock' NOT THE 'Lock Screen Dock' I can change icons on the lock screens no problems, All the help, forums and videos on changing the 'Home Screen Dock' Icons say to simply drag, drop[ and replace. All i wanted to do is change the stock "Internet" Icon with Chrome. Dragged the internet icon of and went to drag the Chrome one on but I can't as instead of the dock staying visible like on some videos it changes to the Delete Icon option. Cant find settings please help. Also I do not want to use a 3rd party launcher. I tried Apex and do like it but I use widgets and can't use widgets as my phone is not rooted. Please help arrrgghhh. Thanks in advance.
PS . I just have a blankspot where my internet Icon use to be.
Go into your app drawer.
Menu>Edit
Drag the Chrome icon down to the dock.

Thanks for your reply but I have tried that...the dock area only changes to for different Icon that you can drag your chosen icon onto in order to perform a function. these are from left to right "Create Folder" "New Page" "File Info" & "Delete"
Have you tried to hold on the Chrome Icon in the App drawer and put it on the home screen, THEN drag it to the empty space on the dock?

Yes I have and I get then get the same options expect it has text with each one i.e. *Icon with text"Create Folder" * *Icon with text "New Page"* etc
Has to be a step you are missing. I just tried it and it's working fine.

THanks for your help.... OK so here is what I do.
1) Unlock -> touch App Draw Icon. (Icon that says Apps with 16 little white squares)then I am on my last page/screen where I have a lonesome Chrome Icon.
2)Then I touch the Menu button (the glowing white button left of the physical home button).
3)Touch Edit (from the pop up menu *Edit with the pencil icon next to it)
4)The Page now has <::: Edit |Cancel|Save along the top of the screen under the notification bar. and no dock or anything at the bottom except for 6 . . . . . . white dots which represent my 6 screens.
5) Touch the Chrome Icon and drag downwards, but as soon as I press and hold the icon to drag at the bottom of the screen 4 icons appear that represent the function I described in my previous reply.
Please tell me I did something wrong. It should be so easy. Thanks btw.
1. Click on the App Drawer Icon
2. Press and hold on the Chrome Icon (that will move it to your desktop)
3. Now find it on your homescreen and press and hold it and drag it down to the empty space on the dock.
That's all there is to it.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem, I was wondering if you've found the solution.
Also, since recently I'm having chrging problems with my S3 - sometimes it will charge, sometimes not - USB or Wall charger.
I tend to think these problems were introduced with latest software update.
I did factory reset, but problems still there.
Cheers.

TouchWiz used to allow me to follow the earlier procedure (it's how I docked "Maps" icon). This was back when I could also just drag and drop icons on the pages at will.
However there was an update from my telco (Telstra) and after that TouchWiz (as version 4.0.4) no longer allows changing of the bottom 'docked' row of icons. Even dragging and dropping icons generally is disabled it now requires use of the context menu to select "Edit page", first. The problem with that approach is that edit mode hides the dock row and replaces it with the icons "Create folder | Create page | App info | Delete". See attached screenshot.
So now I'm stuck with the useless blue-globe icon forever showing on my page, instead of being able to replace it with the very useful Chrome icon. Maybe Samsung did it accidentally (are they even the ones that develop TouchWiz?).
PS: If Micro$oft blocked the use of an alternate browsers, there would be loud screams of monopoly and anti-trust...
i to am also having the same problems, i am running stock Samsung Jelly Bean OS with a touchwiz home version 4.1.1. hope someone can find a way to fix this and to get our freedom back in it

Apparently this problem only effects Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
I found this solution:
you need to have root access (which is available on the xda forums)
you can unlock the dock icon edit function by going to /system/csc/other.xml and find
<CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode> TRUE</CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>
Tried it using ex file explorer editor but nothing happened, restarted the device and the setting had reverted back to its original state, might have to do an adb push but the adb version I have installed is apparently outdated (keeps telling me the device is offline) so I'd need to update adb first
If anyone can give it a try to see if it actually works on rooted 4.2.2 with stock touchwiz, it would be really appreciated
