Remove the default one and add which ever you want to the same folder.

If the current launcher on bootup is z apk delete that apk from system app folder and include the apk of the launcher that you want

Ohh many thanks for gives an idea

most people try it to copy paste from the 2.1 to 2.2 or above, but without success...use Arc Launcher, is similar like the normal from 2.1

cool! what is the post?
This ROM has ported X8 launcher. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070294 Please press tnx button.
LOL Like devs haven't tried it yet
Install active launcher.
It is possible to port stock 2.1 launcher, and it's already done in some roms.
The launcher needs some files which are included in framework

Propably the files would bee in framework folder. Search something with semc launcher in file name. I'm also sure that framework-res patch is required.

[THEME] UI resources From Blend now open to BL locked users!

Hey guys,I have posted a rom which is called Blend and here is the link to my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278760
Only BL unlocked users can flash my rom but you may like the UI style of Blend if your BL is still locked.
Therefore,I decided to post the resources from the rom here for anyone who don't want to unlock the bootloader.With these resources you can have a Blend UI for your own rom without unlock your phone's bootloader.
UI resources from Blend:
system/app:
1.MusicWidget.apk
2.widgetdigitalclock.apk
3.widgetonoff.apk
4.datatrafficswitch.apk
5.MediaWidget.apk
6.Home.apk
7.DefaultThemes.apk
system/framework:
1.android.policy.jar
2.framework-res.apk
3.framework.jar
WARNING:
1.You should set the right permissions for those resources when you move them into the system directory!
2.Only 2.3.4 users can use those resources.
3.I'm not responsible if you brick or damage your phone! Just be careful and Good luck!

That was fast!
Thank you!
One thing: I'm using transparent home with 7 home screens. How would the home.apk affect the theme if I use mine instead of yours? Or can you mod yours to incorporate those two mods?

You can just replace my home.apk by yours. It's OK.
Just installed! Works perfect!
Few more questions/request:
I'm guessing I cant add the CRT animation as it would replace the framework-res.apk? How do I change the wallpaper in defaultthemes.apk? And will Track-id widget, call log widget and other SE widgets be themed later? Also, with the Music Widget a separate apk, does this mean I can use other launchers to get the widget or is it somehow attached to SE Home like the previous firmwares? Thanks for all your help!

1.You can open framework-res.apk as .zip format and replace the anim directory to change the animation or you must replace those three apps at the same time.
2.Wallpapers are actually under this dic: system\etc\customization\content\com\sonyericsson\wallpaperpicker\wallpapers
3.Track-id is useless if you have unlocked your phone.
4.You can't use other launchers to run most of the widgets from SE I believe because they are based on SE home and SE framework.However you can have a try.
Thx for your reply.
Jason,
Anyway you could make one for [4.0.A.2.368] because of battery drain issue I had to switch back to that version. I was using your ROM.
can .42fw use this frame?
Hello, i've tried this on .42 with proper permissions and my phone went into bootloop.
From which build are those system files?
An old build, I guess the one before .42
Jason, I know your'e on Miui now, but could you please update this theme to .42?
Would love to use this.

Some Help Needed Please

Hello Guys,
I am thinking about building a basic custom rom for personal use, i know that if i decompile a rom i will be able to go to system/app and find all of the roms apks there.
The default launcher for the rom is Launcher2.apk but i want ADW Launcher(free) do i simply delete launcher2 and add ADW so that it will load as the default launcher when i install the rom or is there a certain step that i am missing ?
Cheers

You can use Titanium Backup to convert in system app, or you can push it manually in system/app and reboot
