Hello.
Can someone tell how or if there's any app, to set the middle screen as home screen?
It's only available as a mod with root at the moment. If you want to to that, check the Dev forum.
Just do a search here and you will come up with several threads, one will have step by step instructions. You must have root.
Use Launcher pro
Yeah Launcher Pro you can have any homescreen
yes I know but with launcher pro I lose touchwiz :\ I'll do the root...
Thank you for the responses

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
Just got the GT 10.1 2 days ago, have been doing a lot of reading on this forum. I have a couple questions that I think some f you would have quick answers.
1. About ADW launcher EX, it appears many recommend this as a replacement the stock home screen. My question is, what would happen to the stock home screen (existing icons, widegets) after ADW is installed? What happens when you uninstall ADW?
2. About rooting, this is a tough one, after reading hours on this forum and other website. There seemed to be many different guides out there, linking different files needed to be downloaded and executed. Also, it's not clear which is applicable to the latest firmwire with touchwiz and honeycomb 3.1.
I only want to root to get access to /system/app and install some widgets. That is, not interested in custom rom. In fact I want to keep mine as stock as possible, so I won't have problem with the next OTA firmware update.
Any suggestions guys?
1. if you uninstall adw it will just revert back to stock. you can have both and switch from time to time by just doing "clear defaults" on the "launch by default" in the app settings.
2. first post in the development area by Lorddeff07 is updated regularly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
Do not have any worries about adw. You don't even have to set adw as your default launcher, so that everytime you hit the home key you will be given the option of which launcher you want to use. I personally could never go back to stock launcher after adw.
As far as rooting, I would read more about it and watch some YouTube videos before you attempt that. If your apprehensive to something like a launcher I don't think your ready to be messing around with rooting the tab just yet. I am debating to root myself just so I can have a black taskbar on touchwiz. If it wasn't for the grey taskbar I don't think I ever would really need to root.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hello,
I have just registered here, I have come from the Modaco community, since this site seems vast...I thought someone can answer my questions/help that I seek.
Firstly I am a ZTE Skate user, however...my help relates to Android so I thought this was the best place to post.
First question...I am using 2 launchers ('ADW launcher' and 'ADW launcher Pro') so that I can arrange my wigets the way I like in both orientations, the problem I am having is trying to find a way to 'bind' a gesture or the 'home key' to ADW launcher as it is not showing up in the 'App Drawer'. I am using CM7, which comes with ADW launcher as the default launcher, maybe this is the problem? If anyone knows how to resolves this then please get in touch.
Second question...is there a way I can turn around my keyboard when I type a message?...my keyboard is always in portrait mode for both launcher orientations, I would like to use my keyboard in landscape.
Thirdly...does anyone recommend I use what is in this link (I couldn't post the link due to forum rules...sorry!) to make my SD card faster? I don't want to destory my SD card or my phone as i'm not sure if this is safe.
Thanks for your time, I do have alot of trouble with my phone and want to make it user friendly as possible...so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction
The zeam launcher is pretty nice, except when i hit the n button and hit home, it doesnt go back to the zeam launcher. I am about to root a nook for a friend who almost took it back because she couldnt do anything on it, so i offered to root it for her. Im trying to make it as easy to use as possible, and i dont like the idea of her having to search everytime to get back to the zeam launcher. Whats a better launcher that has less steps to use? thanks
1) Questions go in the Q&A forum.
2) Assuming you're taking about the stock OS (you didn't say), that is not an issue with the launcher. It sounds like you need to install Homecatcher (you'll need to search).

If you want to make it as easy to use as possible, put CM7 on it.
The amount of workaround stuff you have to do with the stock OS to be able to do more stuff is overwhelming for a lot of people.

Zeam launcher can only run after the device is rooter.
You can install Homecatcher, which intercepts the home button and gives you an option to go to the default Nook launcher, or an alternate launcher.
I prefer and use Go Launcher, creating a shortcut for the default Nook ebook reader app.
I tried it out last night. I deleted it. Don't like it at all
What about GO Launcher?
Hi guys,
I have the new meizu pro 7 plus with flyme 6. I wanted to change the system launcher. It can not be deactivated. I can not put another launcher on standard. Can someone tell me how this works?
Thank you so much!
Try Settings>Apps>Default Tab>Home screen. Trying through the app did not work.

i think u must go in settings/apps/advanced and select the default launcher app.
thanks for this help, this answer is helpful
Don't have this phone but other launchers work no problems right? Just have to go thru settings?
What about flyme ui gestures or mback? Do they work with other launchers? I know Nova and others have their own gestures but I wish to use flyme's more robust intuitive gestures with the costum homescreen.
The only way withthis Flyme OS is to use Nova Launcher that will simulate another launcher or version of the UI
