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
Hope this helps!!

Ok, I have found it!!!

This great member made it work in landscape too!!! Just scroll down a bit
rowleyfa - You can also drag apps from the sony style app draw right onto the desktop/homescreen!!!

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.)

i think the only thing is wallpapers you can use
PandaHome works great
Try different launchers like ADW helix zeam etc...
Change wallpapers.
Thats it for now...
ADW is really nice and smooth, give it a try
+1 ADW is cool, plus a quite a number of themes are also available for same. I no more use the defualt "Home" Launcher.
+ADW or Helix
I find helix scrolling to be a bit smoother. Not as sensitive either.
I use home++ beta. Its good and has a power bar below alongwith built in task manager; search, dialer, etc. It can hide the notification bar facilitating full screen wall paper etc. Its in beta but stable enough with a very few force closures. Its expected to improve further in the final release. All in all its worth trying.

to say the truth ADW launcher looks better and can be anjusted the way u want but helix is much better for the battery it stays longer with it
i tried both and i see that helix has the advantage of the power saving and dose not look bad at all it looks really great too.
never mind this is only my opinion
panda home,livehome,dxtop lite work great
deleted. wrong thread.
ADW +1 lot of theme on the market
dead?
Why is the theme scene on x10 mini so DEAD?
I see the themes available for other android devices and pics of other ppl's home screen n it drives me INSANE!
its just SO frustrating.
I installed Zeam but i can't find any themes for it.
I have yet to find a decent tutorial here on the forums or on the web on how to theme/personalise/pimp the x10 mini.
I fear i'm gonna lose my mind soon.
Someone please do something or at least recommend some decent psychosis meds.

uhh well themes .. yah there are some themes .. but its not easy to install .. its not an APK .. or a theme file thing .. u need 2 root .. install some applications .. and copy files .. and stuff .. ;D
I use Adw Ex and am loving it.
Smooth ass hell and fast.
But I would LOVE to have some different themes from SE so that we dont have to live whit this blue menu all of the time.
the best is launcher pro plus. No crashes so far and really smooth scroling.
Hello,

Thank you.

I don't use Launcher Pro so I am really no use!
However try searching google for "launcher pro theme" sometimes it can be helpful.
BTW: Since 405 people have looked at this thread, repeatedly bumping it is of little use!
hm, I'll try my best.
hope you like it
edit: there was some issues with the correct image sizes, 'cause I'm using Go Launcher and it uses different sizes.
so here again: dockbar backgrounds for Launcher Pro and Go Launcher + iphone bar
Worth it just for the ability to delete apps directly from within the app drawer..

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
Well what do you know,it supports landscape

[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 ?
too bad i'm happy enough with go launcher ex...
and yes, unless they implement home screen extension, i can live without timescape and mediaplayer widget
can some repost the apk the link is dead thx
Hi, I have Wolfbreak's GB installed on my x10. Is it possible to make the timescape and music player widgets available to other launchers as well? I can only see these widgets on SE's ARC launcher, but not on other launchers. Really love these new widgets from SE. Thanks in advance
Any developers out there care to comment? I did a little search around this forum and found that people have asked this question before, but have yet to receive an answer. I'm not looking for a solution now, just wondering if its possible. Thanks.
Hi,
Im in the same boat as you. I want to use these widget on other launchers but can only see in Sony Launcher.
Anyone know how to add the widget on other launchers?
Thanks
I know that it's a missing when some widgets can't be use on another launcher but I think this problem caused by widgets' settings. Some widgets are set up just to run with Stock launcher only.
it doesnt work like that ..i think we need to modify the framework accordingly for installing the widgets on other launchers ...
Hope its right
thnk me if it helped
Well, is there any other widgets/apps that will provide similar functionality?
Also I think many ppl would appreasiate it if someone would modify the timescape widget to work with other launchers, I do think SE is onto something there, one glance and I'm up to date...
;-)
Thanks
SE lock their widgets so they cannot be installed on any other launcher, it really annoys me becuase the stock launcher is useless (Not being able to even add more homescreens is a joke)
I would like to know if anone is actively working on this problem as quite a few people are asking about it.
Now that timescape is becoming more user friendly...with more extensions for more content....I would really like to have the widget but I refuse to use the poor excuse of the stock launcher.
This would be a good project to work on....lets see if anyone is listening

I dedicated some time previously to working on it to no avail. I BELIEVE its coded in the smali code, but if its forced to run on other launchers it doesn't work properly:
Timescape can't scroll [well can scroll but you can't see] and MIGHT take you to the wrong message/facebookthing/w.e. and only refreshes when you reboot...
Music player the little icon thing [thumbnail] does not change and the thing bar does not actively move [the time bar] and the buttons are glitchy
you name it, errors come. I gave up :L

Same issue bro. I use ADW Launcher EX... I want those features...
Would be great to have the freedom of using timescape on other launchers. the only reason i still have the stock launcher is because timescape and the music widget only work on it I guess it was a trap that was well thought of
I think pheel is the only one to have made some advancement on this project (that too, on my request ) but it faded out 2-3 months back. Hope with the senior devs (yes, greg, bring 'em on!) we can see some progress!!
Hello everyone, I would like to use this launcher, based on ADW, but I have a problem with the vertical spacing of icons on the home. It is too big (or too little) and I have to find a way to fix it, but I can not.
Below I put an example of how messy the homepage.
Description clearly states -
-Precisely tuned for HDPI and MDPI devices. From hero to nook to galaxy tab.
Surely you must have read it before buying it (I am assuming you didn't pirate it)

He probably didn't read the description properly. But now a days, everybody pirates.

Ok guys, you say that is not compatible with wildfire?
The themes that I create with themesfactory for go launcher ex have icons in drawable-hdpi folder, so the icons are not hdpi?
It should therefore be compatible.
The screen of the drawer has no problems!
It is incredible, I did a week of rehearsals and I solved for the case.
The problem was with the lines of the desktop, after I've setted 4 lines everithing is ok. Certainly at the beginning the settings were all wrong ... and I, trial and error, I'd never put 4.
i like this launcher its very cool =)
