can this be done? i like the SE home screen... with the short cuts in the corners...
BTW
some one sucessfully ported arc to x10...
Here you go, this Arc launcher is beautiful, better than X10 Mini in my opinion. This is the only model I've tried the launcher on, E10i. You only need to install the HOME APK I discovered......
Question: These apk files which one should replace in system/app? Coz 4sure in my system/app folder there is no home.apk. Owning a X10 mini

i suppose you just put them in your /system/app. don't worry if you don't have home.apk, at least you will still have your default launcher ready just in case this wont work for you.
p.s. don't forget to set proper permission first, before moving the app to /system/app
hello all...
I did install the home apk and photo widget apk...but the photo widget is usable only wid home app. It cannot b used wi dany oder launcher.
So while going thru photo widget apk, I came across this...
It contains ann android manifest xml file.
This xml file has a line dat says,
SharedUserId : com.sonyericsson.home
I was wondering if this line cld be removed or if com.sonyericsson.home cld be replaced wid smthn like org.adwfreak.launcher for adw users
and if the APK cld be recmpiled?
Is dis possible?
Wld dis make it avlbl for oder launchers as well
and if yes then how cn it b done if sm1 cld explain?

Thanks, this launcher works fine on X10 Mini Pro.
How I installed it:
Simply install the 3 files (no need to move them around, just install like a normal apk). The 2 widgets are optional.
Reboot the phone, select 'Home' when prompted. 'Home screen' is the old launcher.
Advantages over the old launcher:
multiple widgets per screen
shortcuts, folders
multiple app sorting options
Disadvantages:
no 4 corner shortcuts
sliding out the keyboard causes a reload
icon labels in the last row are cut out
a little bit slower

Why don't you give it a try.
Use APKTool to extract XMLs from app, edit the XMLs and rebuild the app.
Reply if it worked.

Hi
Can any one edit the original sehome.apk (launcher)
and make it allow to put many widget in home
because ilove this launcher but the problem it allow one widget in page
Hey why don't u use the new xperia arc launcher, it works for mini/pro...
However if you wana use d old one and want more than one widgets pls attach the home apk file...I am new at these stuff so won't assure u anythn but I cn surely try
sent from ma xperia mini pro CM6 v3.2.1
i tried the xperia arc launcher but it was not good like the original because the original has big icon and easier to use
Ok now I got this file...
Now I plan to blend the se home eclair version with se home xperia arc version...
So u will get multiple widgets with 4 corner screens...
This is just an idea...editing the apk for implementing it might get on ma nerves though
But would love to give it go

Editing appk is quite tough as you said...and those .smali files are nasty !!!
As in this case the semchome.apk doesn't get decompiled...it sends an error

if you use apk manager under windows, in your home folder you can find apktool folder. Just replace the 1.apk file in apktool/framework(this is in ur home not the folder you extracted apk manager to!) folder with the framework-res.apk ( obviously you must rename it to 1.apk). Other wise you may try android apktool its much simpler and better you may google or find it on xda
Hey I have an apktool.jar here
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools...
Inside this apktool.jar I have an android-framework.jar at this location
apktool.jar\brut\androlib
So i need to replace this android-framework.jar ?
And am sorry I just cant find 1.apk
can you like paste your directory structure coz the default android sdk would install the same way for both of us (hopefully)
Thnx for helping dude
mmmmm
i can't understand
do you mean the original x10 mini framework ( jar file ) ?

two things you got wrong
1) its framework-res.apk not jar
2) you must look into your windows home dir generally C:\Users\<username>\apktool\framework (in win7)
if you use apk manager under windows, in your home folder you can find apktool folder. Just replace the 1.apk file in apktool/framework(this is in ur home not the folder you extracted apk manager to!) folder with the framework-res.apk ( obviously you must rename it to 1.apk).

finally android apktool is different from apk manager. If you dont have success with apk manager try apktool you can get it here http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
I got u so far
And btw there is a framework.jar within the apktool.jar if u see
But yes I got u, dat I must try apk managers script and if it doesn't work I shall use apktool.jar directly

If you want add wallpapers to 'default wallpaper gallery' then my friend you would have to edit the default Launcher .apk [they are in the drawable-hdpi folder]. unpack the apk>>> edit the contents>>> repack the .apk ... that's a lot of work!

hmmm..im kinda newbie in editing those kind..
im using adw launcher..but if i set some cool pic as my homescreen it was zoomed..but in stock launcher of froyo which is the samsung home..it doesnt zoomed..but you know i dont want the samsung home..its kinda boring..hihi
BTW,,what apps to pack and repack?
hey..i had tried to unpack the twlauncher30.apk of ace..but i didnt saw the folders containing pictures that was on default wallpaper gallery..
The wallpapers are located in TwWallpaperChooser.apk
To unpack, just extract it with 7zip or similar, to repack just zip it and rename .zip to .apk. You need 2 versions of the image, small and large. For large version use 640x480 resolution and for the small one resize the image to 107x80.

hello
im new in android world and specialy xperia arc
i know how to install roms and other stuff and i have so many problems with my phone and i solved them like battery 0% and ...
i have a question about how can i make my own theme , i wanna customize everything status bar buttons icons and ... i don wanna use go luncher and sth like that.
i wanna do everything from zero to hero
please let me know what should i do and if there is a link can u refer me to it please thanks a lot. and god bless you
i wanna create a theme to make my arc looks like xperia x8 , u know i love the corner buttons of x8
thanks again
theme is base on
- system/framework/framework-res.apk
- system/framework/SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
- system/app/SystemUI.apk
- system/app/Home.apk
basic , You can change all *.png to your style , open & extract apk using winRAR and replace old file using winRAR again.
- save change edited apk
- copy new edited apk to internal memory (/xxx /yyy /root) , change file permission (rw-r--r--) , move file to overwrite old apk target
-always change files permission! before paste & overwrite!! (if not , bootloop!!)
- about Home.apk is Xperia main launcher , before you overwrite apk you must change default launcher to 3rd party launcher (if not , may be bootloop!!)
EDIT:
Delete please, other guy was faster

Hi Friends,
This is a little Tutorial about changing app icons permanently. There was a lot of applications available in Playstore like “ icon changer free” etc etc to change the app icons. But the problem is that u cant use that changed apps in ur app drawer. U can only use that in ur home screen as a shortcut.
So I just decided to put a little tutorial to do that easily. I know everybody will know this already. But it will help for someone I am sure….
Credit goes to my friend dewanshu93 for teaching me this by personally
Credit Why So Serious? For the Icons
(And Sorry For My Bad English)
Tools Needed:-
(a) One PC
(b) 7 zip
(c) Some good icons
STEPS:-
1) Get some cool icons from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207136 and save it ur PC. Give him big thanks for the work.
Edit:- If u need some cool Galaxy S4 icons means go here: - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216289 Please give thanks for his work..
2) Put the apps u want to change the icons to a Folder in ur PC. For example SemcAlbum, Phonebook, Browser etc
3) Here I am taking the Phonebook app for Example..
4) Right Click the Phonebook apk -> Open With -> 7zip File Manager. Then U will get a box contained some files like the attached Image 1
5) Then double click on the res folder and u get another box like attached Image 2
6) Find the folder named “ drawable-xhdpi “ and open it. U will get This Image 3
7) And most important thing is u need to find the original icon and its name of the phonebook.apk or whatever apk u take …
8) For that an easy way is create a new folder in ur PC’s Desktop and select all the images from the box ( Image 3 ) then drag it to the that new folder in the desktop.
9)Then open that folder then search for original the apk icon. Look in to Image 4
10) In my case the name of the Phonebook.apk’s icon is “ic_launcher_contacts “. So just note down the icon name and then open the folder that contains the icons that u downloaded. Image 5
11) And choose which icon u need and select it. Then rename it to the exact name of the original apk icon. ( For example ic_launcher_contacts )
12) After that just drag that renamed icon to res/drawable-xhdpi. It will ask for over right. Press Ok or Yes. Do the same process for res/drawable-hdpi and drawable-mdpi. Means drag the icon to these folders too. That’s it. Copy the apk to ur phone and move it to the System/app with correct permission…
Check the lastly Attached Two images for ur refference .
U can do it with almost all the apks. But I cant guarantee that it will work with all apks. Some System apks did not worked for me…
And also u can take icos from other apks too..
And this is my first work in XDA. Any mistake is there means I am sorry…
Thanks....

Actually u will not get automatic backup when u downloading any apps from playstore. For that u need any backup apps. Ultimate backup will done the job. Install ultimate backup from playstore first. Open it go to settings and check the box allow automatic backup some thing like that. Then download the apps u need from playstore. It will automatically backuped in ur internel storage. So u can take the apks from there and then change the icons and then install it again...
