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'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

Well at least one less app. ^_^
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
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.
Is it possible to access the Personalize menu from another launcher somehow? Going to Menu -> Settings -> Personalize does nothing at all from inside ADW... and it's the only way to customize the lock screen and whatnot... I can uninstall ADW, go back to Sense and it works, but I don't use Sense... and it would be nice if I could just hit a button or whatever and get there without having to change my home launcher...
OK this may or may not work. I know if you are in sense as the launcher, you can open adw with the app shortcut in the drawer, so, in adw can you just make a shortcut to sense, and click that?

Thanks for the suggestion, but Sense doesn't show up in in the list when trying to add a shortcut or any widget or anything.

lol it wouldn't be that easy. I was more hoping you could find the intent in the launcher action/system function list...
My workaround is to go into applications and clear defaults on whatever launcher im using and press home and switch to sense and then personalize what i need and go back and reset my alternative launcher to default. Kind of a pain but it works. Wish i had a quick shortcut to suggest.
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).
1. Is it possible to replace homescreen with app launcher? I mean when you press home button, homescreen shows up, is it possible to force phone to open app drawer instead of homescreen when you press home button?
2. Or/and maybe there is a launcher which shows all your apps not alphabetically but by date and also with ability to arrange the apps however you want?
Go launcher sounds like it is what you are looking for.
In gesture settings you can set home key action to open app drawer instead. It also has app sorting option for by latest date first and earliest date first (and alphabetically of course). It also allows for you to drag icons into any order you would like in the app drawer.

Doesnt work, works only if I'm already in the homescreen and then press home button, just then app drawer shows up :/ Also tried Apex launcher, same thing..
Use something like Quick Launch to open an alternative app drawer. There are free alternatives to this app, it's just the one I use. Alt Drawer is the app drawer I use, you can find it on XDA. I open it via long-press of search.
The MIUI launcher automatically puts all apps on the home screen, and by default adds them in the order they're downloaded. With some tweaking you could get it the way you want. There's a modded version for all roms somewhere.
Edit: You can sort Alt Drawer by last installed, alphabetically, or most used. Use an app to set it to open when you hit the home button and you should have what you want. It has a lot of other neat options too.
