Most likely what we have seen with the leaked mini pro pics, different background colors for framework/dialer
Where are these pics? Hope we are allowed to make our own.

Is it safe?
i have it on my arc, very light, no loading apps that installed on sd card each time i press home button, improved animations for icons.
Is it just me or is there a big gab between the 4th row and the dock?
Xperia Play btw

[MOD] Transparent Home Dock for Arc [ Update - 2.0.A.0.20 ]
It works nice on my stock non-rooted arc.
Problem is the widget overview is now pointless eye-candy. The widgets float around one over another and are harder to read and tap than last version. I don't see a way to turn it off even.
not working
Ok, I think that I have made something wrong because I can not see any difference.
I can see the option to remove instaled aps but can not see the overview and widgets floating?!
I have read somewhere that I have to remove everything from the desktop on my phone, tried that too but nothing.
By the way, non rooted Arc.
Thanks
the Theme setting is useless now, huh?
Hello everybody. Is it possible to get it with 7 homesreens ?

Could you help me, and anyone who want to ask to find applications we describe, beacause im kinda new to android
Ill start:
I would like to find a ICE (In Case of Emergency) app that places icon on lockscreen on unrooted wildfire 2.2, i've searched a lot of these ICE apps but no one i've checked states to put a lockscreen icon.
Also i've seen some HTC handsets have option to change sense's dock bars to e.g. steel colour. Is this possible on Wildfire unrooted froyo?
Thx in advance.
Use search and google

You can change the dock with LauncherPro and I think WidgetLocker lets you put apps on the lock screen.

Nope, and, I am pretty sure in stating that requesting paid apps for free is not allowed on this board. It is amounting to warez.

You could try the experia arc launcher, follow the instruction carefully, it's a great launcher, quick and you can have multiple widgets and fully customizable homescreens!! Not sure about the size of the icons in the drawe3r, they seem to be the same size as the ones you get in most launchers. Give it a try!!

The arc launcher is one fot he best launchers i've used for simplicity, downside is that it has no landscape support which is the only thing that lets it down

OOOh, yeah!! I forgot, I don;t know exactly where it is in the x10mini forum, but somebody modded one of the arc launchers to support landscape!!! You'll have to do some digging, but it's there and the post includes screens. Im not sure it was on the first page though

Awesome, thank you.
Also, have you had a problem with your phone not remebering the sort by alphabeticaly?
I set it to the other options and it will use them options until i change it.
But when i do it by "Alphabetical" it automatically changes back after i've launched something.
I havent had that problem yet, alhough the problem I did have was that the launcher would forget everything whenever I restarted the phone!!
I realised I had been installing the app instead of moving it to the correct folder with root explorer and setting the permissions correctly.
just follow the steps they set properly (they are on the first post I think) and you will have no problem.
i personally think the "xperia active" launcher is better than the Arc launcher. u can have 16 shortcuts in the 4 corners of the Homescreen. multiple widgets, and a very nice iteration from the ARC launcher, that is, when u pinch to get the "widgets overview" mode, the widgets are not "stable" but are "floating" in the screen. VERY nice tweak. try the active launcher.
In my experience, the xperia active launcher seems to position widgets a little to the right in landscape mode (makes their right ends go off the screen.)

1. You can use AppZorter from the market to do this.
2. If you're talking about choosing edit and then pressing the little minus sign then you should know that this actually uninstalls the application. A powerful but dangerous little shortcut at times

Just another clue for you:
Check Nemus Launcher app from the Market.
It is free and "replaces" the TouchWiz launcher with some nice features. It has an awesome folder structure for your homescreens.
I certainly will.... I wasn't going to get a galaxy I was all set on the sensation xe, I did miss sense initially but starting to really like the samsung, it's really growing on me
The first day with a new phone is always an interesting one, my boss HATES it though lol ( not the phone, but that i'm completely distracted lol )

Hi Friends...!
I'm searching for a widget and a mod for ICS on XMP
First, I guess many of you realized that "Photo and videos widget" now in ICS for XMP is very "small", instead a bigger, nicer version for GB. Has anyone tried to port it to ICS? Just in case you don't know what I mean, take a look at this http://communities-origin.sonyericsson.com/message/190104
Second request, for ICS too, is that "effect" of old CRT TVs when you turn them off. Is it possible to add?
Thanks to all!

I mean, that Widget was "large" on GB. Now, with ICS update, it became very small, so you can't watch them clearly.
Also, there's a mod when you turn off the screen, it looks like a old TV turning off... that mod was within Notification Widgets, and it looks nice and I'd like to have it.

Hi everyone.
The big photos and videos widget is one of my favorite widget too. And after i updated to ICS for my xperia active, it disappeared. Actually, the new android 4.04 only has the small one.
One pal share me the apk file, and i attached it in this reply. BUT you may need to do a little trick.
Firstly, install the widget. When you add it on Home Screen, there are two choices "large or small", choose Large one of course. After that your device will get bug when access page contain that widget , but don't worry about that.
Secondly, use the original uninstall or any 3rd apps, uninstall that widget.
Finally, back to the home screen, the photos and videos fill your screen.
Work for me, st17i ICS 4.1.b.0.431.
It works, thanks
This means if anyhow we can resize the widget, our work will be done xD
No one for CRT?

Hi folks,
Bored of stock Xperia launcher?
Here's the best alternative, Lawnchair.
Google play version is outdated but you'll find latest update here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/delet...627-ci-q-merge-android-apk-download/download/
You will need Lawnfeed to enable Google left panel: https://lawnchair.app/lawnfeed/?ref=lawnchair
Enjoy
I like the way that Lawnchair Launcher looks overall, but I do not like that I can not hide the dock. I prefer having a full screen look where possible.
I like it but I don't like the clock, I wish you could get rid of that and use your own..

I went into the Dock settings and I saw nothing that said "Hide Dock".
I have Nova Launcher now and I can Peek a Boo the dock with a swipe gesture so that it is not always present and disappears when not needed.
That is what I am looking for here. Am I missing something here?
Hey great, thanks for pointing that out...have a look at what I've done...if Lawnchair 2 did a clock like that I would be happy...or if you could mod the clock, colour it, resize it, change the padding around it, and the icons for the weather....so I could make it look like that..
Either way, it looks a million times better than the Xperia launcher so thanks for the advice...
Happy to be able to create folders in the app drawer.
Anybody knows how to get rid of the white line below the dock?

Via adb, you could try:
wm overscan 0,0,0,-30
And to revert:
wm overscan 0,0,0,0
Bear in mind that this simply moves the nav bar below the bezel, some full screen apps react differently to this. Good luck.
I also like the Lawnchair Launcher a lot, but it cannot work with gestures navigation without quickswitch magisk moudle， which is pity like all other launchers
